In this life, I will no longer be a childhood sweetheart

Chapter 185 Song Yuwei's Invitation, A Special Dinner
With less than a week left before the vacation, Su Jianjun filled up Santana's tank of gas again, intending to take advantage of the last few days to get more addicted, when Zhao Lixia suddenly approved the purchase of a car.

When he heard the good news from the tigress, Lao Su was very pleasantly surprised.

I can finally buy a car. I thought there was no hope at first, but at the last moment, it turned around.

At the same time, Father Su suspected that he had been tricked again.

After he filled up the tank of gas, Su Zelin said to talk to Zhao Lixia again, if he didn't succeed, he would be benevolent.

This timing is really accurate.

Just a few days before the start of school, neither early nor late, and just after filling up the gas, it is hard not to be suspicious.

I always feel that the brat could convince his mother a long time ago, but he deliberately dragged the fat wages to fuel him up for a winter vacation!
In order to cheat my father, I really tried my best.

Although Su Jianjun was a little angry, he was mostly happy overall.

He had to admit that his son was a bit capable, and he didn't know how to persuade the tigress, so he really agreed.

When Su Zelin ostentatiously came over to ask about the remuneration, Father Su was straightforward and transferred five thousand immediately. The two father and son set off on the same day and went to pick up the car with great interest. Father Qin next door also went to watch the excitement.

Su Jianjun also took a fancy to the same model of Santana. After driving for a while during the holidays, the teacher felt that this car was quite comfortable, and the price was also suitable. It was more than [-] yuan, which was not very expensive.

Although Santana 2000 is a bit better, it is [-] more, which is not worth it.

The place to pick up the car was the same auto trade shop in Shenghai. Jiang Lan was quite close to Shenghai, only about [-] kilometers away. He drove there and came back the same day.

It's only been a few days since I picked up the car, and it's almost time for the holiday.

Su Zelin has to return to school earlier than others every time she takes a vacation, because the start of school season is the peak season for digital stores, so work arrangements must be made early.

No surprises, Wujiazi once again made a lot of money in this wave of school-opening promotions. Song Yuwei, who saw New Century's crazy money-absorbing, was a little frightened. She felt that the money came in faster than robbery, and it was still legal.

Now she finally understood why New Century was able to open five branches within a year.

Just when Su Zelin counted the money and got cramps in his hands, another piece of good news came.

"President Su, people from New World approached me today and said they hoped to join me. What do you think?"

Brother Xiao Yang said so on the phone.

Su Zelin was delighted when he heard it.

Hey, is this overwhelmed?
In fact, it hasn't been long since the New World opened. If the one-month winter break is excluded, it has only been two months since the official opening on New Year's Day.

Zhang Yuanhang is not a patient person. This leader is very ambitious. Seeing other people making money with this model, he thought I could do it.

However, he was hit in the head right after opening, which hit him hard. He was regarded as a stepping stone by the new century, labeled as copycat and plagiarized, and his image in the Polytechnic University was ruined. There was no improvement in the two peak seasons, lifeless, and Zhang Yuanhang was disheartened.

Seeing that his son lost his fighting spirit, Zhang Baisheng, as a father, gave him a trick.

If you can't beat it, then join!

If the brand of New World is replaced by New Century, there will naturally be no problem with the image of a copycat.

How to operate and manage the team, has opened five branches, each of which is very successful, New Century is naturally very good at it.

This is the fastest way to bring a new world back to life, and the best way.

"Join..."

Su Zelin is actually not against franchise stores.

In the last semester, he talked with Xiao Yang about the future development plan in the new century.

One is to stick to the current direct store model,

The other is to recruit franchise stores.

This is also a common method for future generations of chain companies to expand their scale.

They each have pros and cons.

The directly-operated stores are managed by the head office in person, from the establishment of the store to the team building, appointment of store managers, staff recruitment and training.

The head office has absolute control, and this method is stable and stable. However, because each store has to invest a lot of energy and money to build it, the development speed is too slow.

Franchise stores are just the opposite. You can use other people's money, resources and manpower to develop and expand your own brand awareness, and at the same time charge a franchise fee.

It seems like a huge profit, but it is not.

The investors, management and team of each franchise store are different, and there are problems of uneven quality. Some franchise stores that are not well managed may even affect the image of the entire brand.

It is a common saying that a rat droppings dirty the whole pot of porridge.

How to choose between the two models is an important issue worth exploring for many new companies.

But in Su Zelin this is not a problem.

He had already figured it out.

Mixing the two modes is the best way.

Directly-operated stores must continue to be opened as demonstration stores with the best image and service of high quality, and franchise stores are also accepted.

However, the application for franchise stores is strictly reviewed.

Just like KFC and McDonald's, if you, as an investor, plan to open a store in a certain city, the headquarters of these two major foreign fast food brands will first bring people over to inspect and make sure that the location of the store is good and the flow of people is large enough. step.

If the flow of people is insufficient and the employees in the store shoot flies, this will affect the brand image of the giant.

So almost all the McDonald's and KFC you can see are opened in the prosperous areas of the city.

After the assessment is passed and the store can be opened, the decoration and equipment of the store are also in charge of the store, and the employees have to be professionally trained by the headquarters team to ensure the quality of service.

In fact, this is actually a win-win for the brand and the franchise store.

The brand participates in the management of franchise stores to a certain extent, which reduces the possibility of private investors messing up and damaging the brand image.

At the same time, the franchise stores that get help from the headquarters don't have to worry about lack of experience, which leads to chaotic management.

The franchise fees of these two giants are not low. In the later generations, a store can easily invest several million, but there are very few stores that cannot return their capital and make a profit.

In addition to brand influence, his franchise management system is also worth learning for many companies.

Not only KFC and McDonald's, but most of the big companies in later generations have adopted the method of coexistence of directly-operated stores and franchise stores. After historical verification, it also shows that it is indeed the most scientific.

Hunzi had already made up his mind, but out of respect for Xiao Yang, he still talked to him about his thoughts and explained the reasons.

Fate also agrees with this idea of ​​joining, so it was decided.

New Century's current reputation is limited to the province, especially Lin'an. Originally, Su Zelin planned to start developing a franchise store in Lin'an this semester.

It's just that he didn't expect that the first person to come to him would be Xin Shijie.

This is a little funny.

"Who is the person who came to talk about joining?"

Su Zelin asked casually.

"Their general manager Zhou Rui."

Brother Yang responded.

Joining is naturally what Zhang Yuanhang meant.

However, Mr. Zhang is unwilling to take the lead.

So embarrassing!

Three months ago, the two sides were still rivals. The tall and arrogant man had a mentality of transcending the new century before opening, but now he has to humbly beg to join. He really can't save face.

"A general manager just wants to talk to us? This Mr. Zhang doesn't even have the consciousness of a defeated general!"

Su Zelin smiled: "President Yang, why don't you tell him, let's think about it first."

Hun Zi is not without tolerance.

In his previous life, his company had also acquired former rivals.

There are no permanent enemies in the business world.

There are definitely benefits to having New World join us, no doubt about it.

With one more store, the team has grown again, and Zhang Yuanhang's father is somewhat of a figure in Lin'an, giving him face, if he doesn't kill them all, it is also a favor, and he may be able to use it in the future.

However, you are desperate, and you are still unwilling to show some sincerity, what is this?
Since you don't respect me, why should I respect you!
So Su Zelin planned to hang that Mr. Zhang first.

By the way, kill his last vigor, only after joining can he be obedient and not cause trouble.

Sooner or later, this person will find himself again, and it will not be long.

It was only a few months since the opening, and he was discouraged, and he was eager to ask himself to join him, which shows that he is not a patient person who can hold his breath.

"Okay, I understand."

Brother Yang understood Su Zelin's meaning as soon as he heard it.

In fact, he also wanted to deal with it this way, but he had to ask Su Zelin first.

The ideas of the two sides coincide with each other, which is naturally the best.

……

In the evening, the staff dormitory of a certain unit.

Zhang Yuanhang returned home with a dark face.

Seeing this, Zhang's mother quickly asked: "Yuanhang, what's the matter, hasn't the deal on joining?"

"It didn't work!"

Zhang Yuanhang cursed: "That President Yang from the New Century said that he still has to think about it. I asked him how long he would have to think about it, but he actually said that there is no definite date. Isn't this trying to fool me? I think they are still holding grudges!"

He felt that he had put down his face and asked to join, and this was a win-win situation, and the other party should readily agree.

Zhang Baisheng frowned.

There are no permanent rivals in shopping malls. Some bosses have private grievances, and they can shake hands and make peace out of interests.

With the style and courage of the new century, there is no reason to be so narrow-minded, and it is only right to refuse things that are beneficial to both parties.

He suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Yuanhang, did you talk about it yourself?"

"This, this..."

Zhang Yuanhang hesitated.

"You asked Zhang Rui to talk, right?"

Zhang Baisheng frowned.

My son is so arrogant that he might not be able to hold back his face.

"It doesn't matter who talks about it. Zhang Rui is the general manager after all."

Zhang Yuanhang admitted with a guilty conscience.

When Zhang Baisheng gave him the trick, he told him to come to the door in person, but Zhang Yuanhang didn't listen.

"I knew it!"

Zhang Baisheng was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

It's really a child who can't be taught!
"Can this be the same? When talking about such an important matter as joining, the other party came out to talk about not only the big boss but also an important shareholder. In the end, you sent a general manager over there. Is this an attitude of asking for help? Even a pig can understand this truth, what are you doing?" I don't understand!"

Zhang Baisheng almost had a cerebral hemorrhage, the more he talked, the more excited he became, and he scolded his son bloody.

"There's no point in escaping now. If you can escape for a while, you can escape for a lifetime? If you succeed in joining, as the owner of this store, you will have to contact the high-level executives of the New Century sooner or later, right? Just ask what you think!"

Zhang Yuanhang was silent like a cicada, he lowered his head and dared not speak.

At the end Zhang Baisheng said again: "Go over and talk to them in person as soon as possible. Let me tell you, if you don't talk for a month, New Century can think about it for a month; if you don't talk for a year, they can Think about it for a year, believe it or not?"

"Okay, Dad, then I'll go there tomorrow."

Zhang Yuanhang bit the bullet.

After his father's analysis, he understood the problem.

Zhang Baisheng sighed straight away. He found that although his son was a little smart, he was not really expected to start a business.

His psychological quality is too fragile, not tenacious enough, impatient, ambitious, and desperate for face, all of which determine that he cannot become the helm of a large enterprise.

Perhaps, joining someone else's command is his best way out.

……

Sure enough, the next day, Zhang Yuanhang came to talk with him in person, and New Century didn't consider it. Xiao Yang made a decision on the spot and agreed to let his store join.

Mr. Zhang originally thought that the other party would take the opportunity to humiliate him, but what he was worried about did not happen.

The other party was just talking about business with a business-like attitude, and seriously discussed franchise matters. There was no lion asking for a franchise fee, and even because it was the first franchise store, the franchise fee was also given a certain discount. Zhang Yuanhang was a little Flattered, he readily agreed to the other party's request for agent management training in the early stage of joining.

Originally, store management is not good now, and New Century is willing to step in to help, which will save trouble, and he is more than happy to ask for it.

So the two sides hit it off, and the New World Flagship Digital Experience Center became history just three months after it was born.

The rectification is also very simple, because the new world originally copied the new century, the store style is the same, including the layout, decoration and counters, and even the billboards do not need to be completely changed. A sense of disobedience.

Of course, everything related to the logo in the store had to be changed, such as staff uniforms and posters.

This is a change visible to the naked eye, but it is not enough to become a qualified new century franchise store, and a deeper change is required.

A new store manager was parachuted from New Century to take over Zhou Rui's position.

This person is actually the general manager of the electronic technology branch, Xiao Yang's old department, and he came here to train the team of this franchise store.

Because Su Zelin and Xiao Yang didn't expect to have a franchise store so soon, the team responsible for training the staff of the franchise store has not yet been established, so other store managers can only temporarily do it for them.

Of course, this is only temporary. Zhou Rui will be the store manager after the Polytechnic University store is on track.

Of course, after becoming a franchise store, Zhou Rui's position must be downgraded. He used to be the general manager and store manager of New World, so it is impossible for him to be the general manager now.

But Zhou Rui is already thankful. After all, once the emperor and the courtiers, it is considered a franchise store, but considering that the headquarters has a lot of power, if the new century says that he is not suitable to be a store manager, Zhang Yuanhang probably can do it without hesitation. Kick him away.

But New Century didn't do that.

Yang Fen talked to Zhou Rui, this person still has some vision and ability, no surprise Zhang Baisheng should have personally picked him, the second in command of the unit, no matter how you look at a person, you have to have some discernment.

It is not a problem for Zhang Rui to be a store manager. Before the New Century was so chaotic, he couldn’t blame him for everything. Mr. Zhang was overconfident, good at managing things, and involved in management too much. He only listened to good things. Even if Zhang Rui wanted to follow his own ideas, he couldn't do it.

The name change of New World to join, the bbs of the University of Science and Technology publicized the wave, and the storefront that was originally empty suddenly became more crowded, just like a salted fish turned over miraculously.

Therefore, the brand image is still very important. After all, Ken McGee is different from KFC.

This is also the reason why many investors are willing to spend money to join, and it is easier to succeed with the influence of the brand.

A few days after the new world was changed, Su Zelin received a call to send Yuwei off.

"Boss, when will you be free? I will treat you to dinner as soon as I agreed to deliver the food. This is from the Year of the Snake to the Year of the Horse. He hasn't fulfilled his promise. If he drags it on, he will become a person who breaks his promise." !"

MM Song said half-jokingly on the phone.

Not long after she came to An'an, she said that she would invite Su Zelin to dinner after she paid her salary.

However, the first month's food delivery happened to be the eve of the holiday, so Su Zelin returned to Jianglan the next day.

As soon as he returned to school after the holidays, he had to be busy with the promotions for the beginning of the school season, and then it was delayed until now.

Su Zelin just woke up, two months later, if Song Yuwei didn't tell her, she really forgot about it.

"Hehe, it's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, or just tonight?"

"Okay, boss, what do you like to eat?"

"I can do whatever I want."

"Then, how about coming to my rental house, and I'll cook for you?"

Song Yuwei asked tentatively.

"Go to your rented house?"

Su Zelin was slightly taken aback.

Song MM is a store manager, her salary will not be low, and she is not a very frugal person.

Now, he deliberately chooses to cook in a rented house, which seems to have a different meaning.

"My craftsmanship is very good, not inferior to the chefs in restaurants!"

Song Yuwei added another sentence.

However, Su Zelin heard that there was no silver 300 taels here, and it meant something was being deliberately concealed.

"Okay, then go to your rented house!"

After hesitating for less than three seconds, the bastard nodded in agreement.

"Boss, then I'll wait for you at the rented room at night, see you soon."

The two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, tacit understanding.

hang up the phone.

Su Zelin's heart beat faster than expected.

Made, it's been a long time since I ate meat, and she looks like a little boy.
