Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 499 Soaring into the sky

"Yes~ how can you not?"

"I don't lack anything now~ I just lack talent!"

The ideal fried chicken at the beginning of the year is actually just a small plate.

However, after Chen Li invested another 200 million US dollars, Ideal Fried Chicken has gradually evolved from a small plate at the beginning to a large-scale chain enterprise.

In this process, in addition to the prospects of the fried chicken industry, it is also related to the talent training established by Chen Li in the early stage.

At that time, there were not so many branches of Ideal Fried Chicken, and the actual number of employees recruited even exceeded the number of employees required by the store.

But it is precisely because of this step of accumulation at the beginning that after the branch of Ideal Fried Chicken expanded rapidly, it did not encounter too many problems in terms of human resources.

Many people may find it strange that it’s just an employee of a small fried chicken shop, not just someone?Where and what training is needed?
But the problem actually lies here!

If Chen Ideal is only a small fried chicken shop, then the training for employees naturally does not need to be so strict.

There is even no need for any training at all, just find a master to take you after you go to work.

But what Chen Ideal wants to do is a brand, a brand that can surpass those foreign fast food.

Under such a premise, Chen Li naturally pays more attention to the decoration, operation, food safety and staff training of the store.

However, the talent training established by Li Chen is only for ordinary employees.

As for the management, although Ideal Fried Chicken has its own promotion mechanism, to be honest, this mechanism is not so perfect.

The plate of Ideal Fried Chicken is too small. For the vast majority of ordinary employees, being promoted to store manager is basically the end.

That is to say, Ideal Fried Chicken has been established for too short a time, so this problem is not so obvious.

Coupled with the relatively high salary and treatment offered by Ideal Fried Chicken, it has the upper hand in the competition in the same industry.

But the upper limit of the catering industry is still too low.

No~ To be precise, it should be that the upper limit of the fried chicken shop is too low.

Those who are really capable ~ capable people are almost unlikely to stay in Ideal Fried Chicken forever.

No way~ Although Ideal Fried Chicken will also have some management positions for those who are capable to be promoted, but there are too few.

And let's be honest~ the vast majority of people who are willing to work in the catering service industry are mostly uneducated people.

Not to mention college students~ Not many people have gone to high school.

Of course~ In the catering service industry, the requirements for cultural level are actually not that high, but if it is for the management, there are still some requirements.

Since Chen Li started his own business, the biggest problem he has encountered has never been the problem of funds, but the problem of talents.

There is a popular saying these days, what is the most precious thing in the 21st century?

Talent ~ talent is still talent!

A qualified manager, compared with an unqualified manager, brings a completely different benefit gap to the enterprise itself.

This is also the reason why Chen Li was so keen on wielding a hoe before, but because the plate of ideal fried chicken was too small to attract any real talents at all.

But now the situation has obviously changed a lot.

There are nearly [-] branches, even if there are [-] bun shops, it is a huge industry.

And the most important point is that according to the current development speed of ideal fried chicken, the industry is still expanding rapidly.

If Ideal Fried Chicken maintains the current expansion rate, it will only take three to five years for Ideal Fried Chicken to become the top-tier fried chicken fast food restaurant in China.

Yes~Ideal Fried Chicken is completely incomparable with those foreign fast food in the scale of a single store because of its operating philosophy.

But the advantage of ideal fried chicken is not here at all, but in the "quantity"!
This is a typical win by quantity!

Moreover, it is precisely because of the operation mode of Ideal Fried Chicken that it avoids direct competition with those foreign fast foods that are currently strong and powerful.

It is precisely because of this buffer that Ideal Fried Chicken avoids the danger of being suppressed by industry leaders.

As for Ideal Fried Chicken’s competitors. Obviously, their operating philosophy is completely different from Ideal Fried Chicken’s.

Ideal fried chicken is not for making money at all at present, but for grabbing the market.

Chen Li may not care about profits, but his competitors cannot.

This can be regarded as the blessing of Chen Li's rebirth. In these years, the capital's emphasis on chain restaurants is far less intense than later.

But this is also relatively easy to understand. There will be opportunities for domestic investment everywhere. What real estate Internet, which one is not more cost-effective than the catering industry?

Even some traditional industries are far safer than chain restaurants.

Therefore, although ideal fried chicken appeared in the middle of the year, some competitors appeared. But these competitors are impossible to shake the development strategy of ideal fried chicken.

Not to mention anything else~ Let’s just talk about the source of ingredients for Ideal Fried Chicken. No matter in terms of the ingredients themselves or food safety, it is impossible for anyone to be able to compare with Shennong Food from the system.

Even if Chen Li relies on the channel of Shennong Food, it is enough to kill many competitors in seconds.

And Chen Li also discovered the most exaggerated thing.

That is ~ the raw materials of Shennong Food will not increase in price at all.

What is this concept?

Perhaps it is not so exaggerated at this point, but if it is five or even ten years later when the cost of being fried chicken has risen to the price level at that time.
The cost of ideal fried chicken is still at the current level in [-].

To put it bluntly~ Even if Ideal Fried Chicken doesn’t make money, it can make a lot of money just by relying on the inflation level of the price level.

It's just that this problem forced Chen Li to plan to change the settlement mode with Shennong Food, otherwise there might be a risk of revealing his secrets.

Of course~ this is just a small problem, and it is very easy to solve. The big deal is to build a separate enterprise later on.

Anyway, the current ideal fried chicken has only one direction in principle, expansion~expansion~expansion again!
But~ in the rapid expansion of Ideal Fried Chicken, the importance of talents is even more vividly reflected.

At this moment, Zhou Bowen, a former real estate businessman who had gone bankrupt, suddenly asked Chen Li if his company needed any more people.
This directly made Chen Li, who was planning to leave, wished to immediately drag Zhou Bowen to meet those talents he was going to recommend to him.

And the first person Zhou Bowen recommended to Chen Li was Secretary Zhang who came to Ideal Fried Chicken for help because of her pregnancy, and then returned to the real estate company.

Speaking of this Secretary Zhang, Chen Li was still a little depressed at the beginning.

When this guy and Assistant Ren came to Ideal Fried Chicken to help out, Chen Li invited them over and over again.

In the end~ Chen Li poached Ren Assistant, but this Secretary Zhang. Chen Li couldn't poach him no matter what.

To be honest~ In fact, in the past, compared to the assistant Ren who has become Chen Li's effective subordinate, Chen Li admired the quite intellectual Secretary Zhang even more.

From the perspective of ability alone~ Secretary Zhang's ability may not be as good as an assistant in some aspects, but she is more comprehensive.

Especially since he served as Zhou Bowen's secretary for many years, his comprehensive ability is naturally beyond doubt.

Many people think that the position of a secretary is undoubtedly to help the boss serve tea, carry bags and drive, deal with daily sundries, etc.

But in fact, it is just an ordinary little secretary, and if it is too much, the word "book" at the back can be removed.

This kind of concept mainly comes from an unhealthy trend in the current society. Many upstarts always like to give their lover or concubine the title of secretary.

Note~ It's not that the secretary is the lover or concubine of these people, but their lover or concubine is given the title of "secretary".

The two seem to be the same, but in fact the difference is huge.

It is precisely because of this unhealthy atmosphere that public opinion always regards the position of "secretary", especially the secretary of the opposite sex, as an alternative color.

But actually?The position of secretary is born with the position of leadership, and only with leaders can there be secretaries.

And what is the function of the secretary?
It is a concrete manifestation of directly applying the leadership's instructions to actual things and things through specific operations.

To put it bluntly, a secretary is a gold medal assistant who assists the leader in handling information and affairs.

And this position, don't just look at the level, except for the board secretary, it is rarely an important position.

But in fact, the secretary is often regarded as the spokesperson of the leader by the employees below.

Especially in some government departments or state-owned enterprise systems, the position of secretary is even directly regarded by many people as the facade of leadership.

Many times ~ the attitude of the secretary is even regarded as the attitude of the leader by the people below.

Therefore, the importance of the position of a secretary is simply not too high!
Of course, the concept of the position of secretary is different in private enterprises, because the secretary is actually subdivided into several types.

Such as ~ work secretary, life secretary and so on.

And Secretary Zhang is obviously one of the best working secretaries.

To be honest~ Before Chen Li failed to poach Secretary Zhang, he actually slandered the reason why the other party wanted to return to work in the real estate company.

Like many boring people, he even suspected that Secretary Zhang had something to do with Zhou Xiaoli's father.

However, in fact, Secretary Zhang was indeed promoted by Zhou Bowen, but the relationship between the two was nothing more than that.

The reason why Secretary Zhang stubbornly wanted to return to the real estate company that had problems before was that besides the fact that the ideal fried chicken at that time was not very attractive, the bigger reason was that she wanted to do something to Zhou Bowen, the boss who single-handedly promoted her. .

But it's a pity~ Although Secretary Zhang's working ability is very strong, her ability can almost play a negligible role in the matter of the real estate company.

Now the real estate company has collapsed~ Secretary Zhang naturally lost his job.

Although with her ability, it shouldn't be a problem to find another job.

It is not difficult to find a job~ but it is not so easy to find a suitable job.

Secretary Zhang is over 30 years old this year. It is not easy for a professional woman of her age to find a job.

It's not that she can't find a job, is willing to hire her, and can't give her the salary she wants.

And the position that can satisfy her ~ the company is unwilling to accept her.

In particular, her current work experience has always been in the position of secretary. Even if she is the secretary of the boss of a real estate company, her competitiveness in the same position is really too small.

Of course ~ if the normal situation is followed, Secretary Zhang may eventually bow to reality and have to choose a company with relatively better conditions to continue working.

Although Zhou Bowen went bankrupt, he was still a good boss.

In fact, Zhou Bowen can recommend Secretary Zhang to other better companies. Although he is a bankrupt businessman now, he still has face as an employee.

But compared to those companies ~ Zhou Bowen is undoubtedly more optimistic about the ideal fried chicken that is currently developing rapidly.

In fact, to be precise, Zhou Bowen was not interested in Ideal Fried Chicken, but Chen Li.

It's a pity that he is just a bankrupt businessman now, and Chen Li's development is too fast, otherwise he really wants to invest in this young man, Chen Li.

Yes ~ investors!
This is not about those investors who engage in venture capital, but about investing in someone!

Just like how Lu Buwei invested in Yingzheng in ancient times, in the end Lu Buwei became the Marquis of Wenxin and the prime minister of Qin from the status of a businessman.

Of course ~ Zhou Bowen is not Lu Buwei, nor does he have the ability of Lu Buwei ~ nor can he have such big ideas as Lu Buwei.

He just simply felt that this young man, Chen Li, would become a master in the future.

And for such young people~ if you invest in them in the early stage, the future returns will inevitably be rich beyond imagination.

It's just that Zhou Bowen didn't think about it, and he didn't wait for him to do anything about Chen Li. As a result, Chen Li didn't need others to invest in him at all.

At the beginning, he foolishly wrote a check of 100 million, wanting to form a good relationship with Chen Li, an interesting young man, but the other party directly threw out an investment of 200 million US dollars.

What shocked Zhou Bowen the most was that Chen Li was obviously a young man, but he was extraordinarily sober when faced with huge wealth.

Hmm~ There is actually a bit of a misunderstanding here.

Because the thing that shocked Zhou Bowen was Chen Li's donation of more than 5000 million US dollars to the Hope Project.

But this matter, Chen Li was actually forced.

But ~ Zhou Bowen naturally doesn't know the truth, from his point of view ~ Chen Li is a young man who treats money like dung.

If it was in ancient times~ Chen Li's behavior would definitely be the style of a proper family.

But in modern times~ Such young people often have two results.

One is that in reality, the head is broken and bloody, and in the end, it has to gradually become a gangster.

There is another possibility. It soars into the sky!
In fact, in terms of proportion, the former is the most likely, and it can even be said that 90.00% of the nine point nine people will end up the same as the former.

But obviously. Chen Li belongs to the latter.

That's why ~ Zhou Bowen is willing to recommend some of his capable men to Chen Li!
