Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 497
A company~ that wants to become bigger and stronger will actually encounter many various problems.

But to be honest~ these problems encountered by Ideal Fried Chicken made Chen Li feel a little incomprehensible.

In his previous life, Chen Li could always see some related news on the Internet and news media, saying that a certain restaurant had been using expired food ingredients for a long time~waste oil and so on.

Generally speaking, these restaurants will do this, naturally in order to obtain more profits.

So driven by profit, the staff of these restaurants actively or passively violated the food safety law.

But no matter whether these workers are active or passive, the owner of the restaurant must be the mastermind.

Because only after the boss's approval, these staff members dare to do this blatantly.

But when it comes to Ideal Fried Chicken, it's so strange.

It is clear that there are repeated orders and five applications, so that these staff members are not allowed to do these illegal and taboo things for profit, but there are still many people who do this.

And what depressed Chen Li the most was that the salary he offered was definitely top-notch in the industry, but there were still some people who always wanted to take advantage of the loopholes to grab the company's cash.

There are various ways to squeeze wool, and some of them even make Chen Li dumbfounded.

Such as replacing ingredients and accessories for reselling, or even directly embezzling ingredients are all means, but some people even play tricks on water and electricity bills.

If it is a clever thing to say that overpaying utility bills, Chen Li was left speechless about the fact that the freezer had been repaired dozens of times within half a year.

The reason given by the other party was that there was a problem with the wiring in the store, which caused frequent short circuits and other problems in the power supply in the fried chicken restaurant.

Because it is a problem with the wiring in the store, the freezer is not covered by the warranty.So. In half a year, the store's freezer maintenance cost was as much as more than [-] yuan.

This reason seems very ridiculous to Chen Li now, but in the past six months, it was not discovered.

Because the line in this store does often have problems, the company also sent people to confirm this, and even allocated a sum of money to reorganize the line.

But as soon as Chen Li's second uncle came, he quickly discovered the tricks based on some data.
Then after some investigation, it was discovered that the brother-in-law of the manager of this fried chicken shop actually opened a home appliance repair shop.

In the end, the truth was revealed. There was indeed a problem with the wiring in this store, but the problem was man-made.

After learning the truth, Chen Li couldn't help but sigh. If this person becomes greedy, he can do anything.

It's ridiculous to say that the business of this store is actually pretty good. The manager's monthly income exceeds 2000 yuan, and even exceeds [-] yuan in good times.

Reasonable~ This income was in [-], even in Yanjing, it was considered a good income.

Especially in the catering industry and the service industry, this salary is definitely what most people want but can't ask for.

But with such a good job and such a high income, this buddy is still not satisfied, so he directly made such a mess.

This made Chen Li doubt himself for a while!
Because to be honest~ Chen Li has never thought of squeezing his employees in the past. Although he can't say that he treats his employees the best, he can definitely be regarded as a very conscientious boss.

The ten-hour work system, the salary that is much higher than other companies, and the five social insurances and one housing fund that are not even offered by many state-owned enterprises, can almost be said to be a model in the catering industry these days.

Chen Li thought that he was very worthy of his employees.

But even so ~ there are still people making this kind of mistake that in Chen Li's view is not worth the candle.

This made Chen Li wonder for a while. Did he treat these employees too well?

To be honest~ The biggest reason why Chen Li treats employees like this is that Chen Li in his previous life was just a worker.

It stands to reason~ now that he has become the boss, he should also stand on the opposite side of beating the workers.

But~ because of the rebirth and the existence of the system, Chen Li directly skipped the step of chasing "profit".

Of course~ Chen Li is not a saint, but his purpose is for the system's mall currency.

At present, Chen Li's most stable source of currency for the mall is ideal fried chicken.

The better the development of Ideal Fried Chicken ~ the more branches ~ the greater the currency income of Chen Li's mall.

Therefore, Chen Li doesn't expect Ideal Fried Chicken to make much money for him at all. He would rather give his own subsidy to his employees, and he only hopes that his employees can make the chain enterprise of Ideal Fried Chicken bigger~do it~do it well powerful.

In fact, Chen Li has been learning from one person for the operation of the ideal fried chicken business, and that is Yu Xilai, a very famous entrepreneur in Yu Province in his previous life.

Because in his previous life, through some online information, Chen Li discovered that the employees of Xilai Supermarket have a sense of belonging to the company, which can be said to be the envy of countless entrepreneurs.

But Chen Li only learned a little bit.Moreover, Ideal Fried Chicken and Xilai Supermarket are not the same thing at all, and it is normal for the results to be different.

In fact, many people have studied Yu Xilai's management style in previous lives, but I have never heard of another Yu Xilai.

Chen Li thought he could, because he had rebirth and the help of the system, but...it turned out that he was not Yu Xilai, and Ideal Fried Chicken was not Xilai Supermarket.

In fact, everything has two sides. Although chain enterprises can expand the profits of enterprises, the difficulty of management will also increase accordingly.

The same~Ideal Fried Chicken does treat its employees very well, but it is precisely because of this "goodness" that some people may be a little bit aggressive.

So Chen Li once suspected that there might be something wrong with his previous thinking.

To be honest, Chen Li's thinking is actually a bit dangerous, he seems to be standing at a fork in the road.

On the left~ is the entrepreneur with a conscience and a sense of responsibility towards Chen Li's ideal!

On the right side is the kind of capitalist that Chen Li hated very much in his previous life.

Originally~ Chen Li was going forward indomitably towards the road of his ideal entrepreneur, but he encountered various problems on this road, and this road did not make much money.

So ~ when Chen Li encountered a problem again, he suddenly wanted to walk to the right.

After all, not only is the road on the right not so many problems, but it can also make a lot of money.

To be honest, Chen Lizhen almost went to the right road.

But this time, it was his second uncle who pulled Chen Li back.

"Don't tell me, although I have discovered that the company does have a lot of problems during this period of time."

"But I think the company is indeed developing well at present."

"When I visited the store as a customer before, I found that the vast majority of employees had a very positive impression of the company."

"Occasionally, I heard employees complaining about the company in private, and it was also the negative emotions brought about by the company's punishment for their own reasons."

"And the training center you set up~ is really useful."

"Take hygiene as an example. In fact, most of the stores are doing very well, except for a small number of stores."

"The reason why there are problems in this very small number of stores is largely related to the sense of responsibility of the store manager."

"So I suggest~ In the future, the company will not only train new employees, but also conduct secondary training for store managers."

Chen Guoqiang's words not only helped Chen Li come up with an idea, but also his praise for the current situation of Ideal Fried Chicken also pulled Chen Li back from his previous thoughts.

Facts have proved that people's hearts are made of flesh.

The company treats its employees well, and employees naturally have a sense of belonging to the company. This is actually the real "going to work normally".

On the contrary, those who have problems are actually only a small number.

After all, the opening of Ideal Fried Chicken is getting faster and faster, and it is very close to the goal of [-] branches that Chen Li set at the beginning of the year.

In fact, if it weren't for Ideal Fried Chicken's relatively high requirements for new stores, and Chen Li's intention to control the speed of opening stores, otherwise this goal might have been completed as early as last month.

The reason why Chen Li controlled the speed of opening the store was naturally because the end of the year was approaching, and the company needed to retain some cash.

On the one hand, it is to give some benefits to the employees, and on the other hand, it is to give an explanation to the shareholders.

Speaking of it~ Ideal Fried Chicken actually has only three shareholders, namely Chen Li~Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli who is studying in Germany.

In fact, according to the original idea, this year's ideal fried chicken is not going to pay dividends.

And to be honest, since Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli each have [-]% of the shares, even if they pay dividends, they won't get much money.

Because this year, most of the profits from Ideal Fried Chicken have been used to open new stores.

Moreover, Ideal Fried Chicken follows an asset-heavy model, and many shops are bought rather than rented.

So if Chen Li doesn't withhold it in advance, even if it's a dividend, it won't be much money.

But~ under Chen Li's deliberate control, Ideal Fried Chicken has reserved a large amount of cash, and this money is reserved by Chen Li for Zhou Xiaoli.

It has been four months since Chen Li went to Germany with Zhou Xiaoli last time.

Zhou Xiaoli is still in Germany, but something happened to her old father in China.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the year, Zhou Bowen's real estate company had problems.

The reason is that the backer behind the Zhou family lost his power.

Although Zhou Bowen persisted for a whole year, he even almost brought Chen Li into the ditch.

Fortunately, at that time, Chen Li knew that the water in the real estate industry was too deep, and he couldn't grasp it at all, so he didn't pick up the other party's fault.

And after barely supporting this year, Zhou's real estate company finally started to experience thunderstorms at the time of the end of the year.

Speaking of which, the end of the year is definitely the time when real estate companies are most prone to problems.

The reason is also very simple~ because at the end of the year, whether it is the project itself or the wages of workers, it has reached a time period that must be settled.

As we all know, the domestic real estate industry has a series of complicated "contracting" systems.

Obviously it is a simple "Party A and Party B" cooperation, but in actual operation, there may be many Party Bs.

Party A hands over the project to Party B, and Party B hands over a certain step in the project to the next Party B after getting the project, and then the next Party B will hand over the project to the next Party B.

But in this way, sometimes as long as there is a problem in one of the links, there may be a big problem if it is not done well.

But if the person who has this problem is Party A, then the problem will be even bigger.

Now ~ Zhou Bowen, the Party A, has a problem, and both projects have problems.

The core of the problem is also very simple, it is money!
However, that is not a small amount of money, and it cannot even be described as a "pen".

Anyway, Zhou's real estate company's hole, not to mention the current Zhou Bowen can't fill it, even Chen Li, who is a reborn person and system owner, can't fill it.

Don't look at Chen Li's current net worth at least tens of millions, but even if he adds up all his net worth, it won't make any waves in the real estate industry.

Whether it's the real estate in 20 or the real estate after [-] years, what we are best at is to use a small amount of funds to pry a huge "disc"!
Therefore, Zhou Bowen's actual net worth may not be as high as outsiders seem to think, but the holes in the projects he handled are extremely huge.

Of course, if you want to fill these holes, you don't necessarily need to spend so much money.

In fact, if someone could give Zhou Bowen one or two small goals now, he might be able to make a comeback.

But the problem is that sometimes, what people see with their eyes is not necessarily the truth.

On the surface, Zhou Bowen's biggest problem now is the lack of money, but in fact what he lacks is really not that little money.

Hmm~ It's a little too much to describe it as "a little" money~ but that's what it means.

To put it bluntly~ the backer behind Zhou Bowen has fallen, and now others want to grab the meat from Zhou Bowen.

The biggest problem at present is that Zhou Bowen's competitors have blocked almost all the avenues for Zhou Bowen to solve the problem.

So ~ Now Zhou Bowen is facing two roads.

How about accepting the reality~ Admit defeat and cut the flesh!

How about absconding with money!
That's right~ it's absconding with money!
Roll up a sum of money, and then the whole family immigrated abroad. Although a lot of people were cheated, Zhou Bowen's family can still live a very easy life abroad.

In fact, these days, when many people encounter Zhou Bowen's problem, they will choose the latter.

After all, people are selfish!
But this time, Zhou Bowen did not choose the latter.Maybe there is some reason that Chen Li doesn't know, but Zhou Bowen finally chose the former.

He conceded defeat!

Not only did he admit defeat, he even took the initiative to take on his own responsibility, and now he is looking for money everywhere and even selling his property to try to fill the hole as much as possible.

Zhou Bowen also approached Chen Li, but unfortunately, the current Chen Li can't help him at all.

The only thing Chen Li can do is to help Zhou Bowen take good care of his daughter Zhou Xiaoli!
Now that Zhou Bowen is down, as his daughter, Zhou Xiaoli will naturally be affected as well.

The biggest impact is probably the source of income of the original wealthy daughter Miss Zhou.

Originally, Zhou Bowen had saved a large sum of money for Zhou Xiaoli at the beginning, but something went wrong with that money in the end.

So~ whether as a friend or as a partner, Chen Li felt that he should help Zhou Xiaoli.

Well, it can only be Zhou Xiaoli, not the entire Zhou family!
