Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 474 Candid filming, investigation and punishment

Outside, there was a patter of autumn rain, and the weather was slightly cool.

Maybe it’s because it’s just rained, or it’s already past the meal time. In the huge restaurant of Fanzhenxiang Fast Food, it doesn’t look busy. Seven or eight chefs and a dozen packers are chatting and drinking tea, leisurely. The panic and bewilderment of a few days ago was gone.

From their eyes, it seems to be able to see the longing and expectation for the future.

Seeing Gao Yousi coming in, the employees stopped talking, stood up, and tidied up their clothes cautiously.

They had met Gao Yousi, and they knew from Xiao Longbo that this person was the investor and actual controller of Fanzhenxiang Fast Food.

"Mr. Gao."

"Hello, Mr. Gao."

Gao Yousi waved his hand, obviously not interested in this level of compliment.

He looked around, then frowned, and asked sullenly: "Where are Xiao Longbo and Ji Feiyang? Where did they go?"

"I am here."

Xiao Longbo walked in with a dark face, his body was wet, it was obvious that he was in the rain just now, and he was in a very bad mood.

However, Gao Yousi was in a worse mood than him. He snorted softly and didn't intend to give Xiao Longbo any face. Instead, he asked in front of the employees in the store: "What kind of plane are you doing recently? Didn't you agree to open a new one?" Two branches? As a result, you are still going around in circles now?"

Xiao Longbo's complexion changed, and he clenched his fists tightly. Since he became the vice president of the student union, he has never been scolded like this, and suddenly a sense of humiliation permeated his heart.

But in the face of Gao Yousi, the patron's father, he didn't dare to get angry, so he had to quickly explain: "President Gao, it's not that I don't want to open, it's just that the situation has changed."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the opposite side of the road: "Didn't you see it when you entered the door just now? We opened a new restaurant called Zhenxiang Fast Food opposite us, which robbed us of a lot of business. This Zhenxiang Fast Food is really shameless. If you don’t violate the river, they still want to open the store opposite us to grab business. If they didn’t make trouble, the second store would have already opened.”

However, Gao Yousi didn't want to hear these explanations from Xiao Longbo, he invested in Fanzhenxiang fast food to make money, and seeing that the money he earned was less than expected, of course he wanted to ask Xiao Longbo for an explanation.

As for whether Zhenxiang Fast Food is playing tricks, he doesn't care at all.

"True Fragrance Fast Food came here to open a store, and there will be no business. Doesn't that mean that you are doing rubbish? I don't care about it. Anyway, you must act according to the requirements of the contract. You will open ten branches within this year. In the spring of next year, there will be no business." Go to Beijing and Baiyun to open up new markets, and come up with a gimmick for me!"

He doesn't care what will happen to the future development of Fanzhenxiang Fast Food, and whether the hidden dangers brought about by the rapid expansion will affect the potential of the company.

He didn't plan to hold Fan Zhenxiang's equity for a long time at all, but planned to cash out and leave the market during the A round of financing, earning the money first.

Therefore, what Gao Yousi needs now is a beautiful financial report and the rapid growth of Fan Zhenxiang's various data.

At this moment, an employee was walking outside with a pot of food leftovers, and was seen by Gao Yousi.He immediately asked, "What is this?"

The employee replied honestly: "It's some leftover ingredients that haven't been used up."

"Where are you going?"

The employee's eyes became strange, and he said angrily, "Of course it was dumped."

Gao Yousi immediately raised his voice a few degrees: "Why are these ingredients thrown away?"

Xiao Longbo quickly explained: "That's what Zhenxiang Fast Food does. The ingredients that can't be used up on the day must be disposed of to avoid damage to the brand image because customers eat stale food."

Gao Yousi sneered at this statement, saying: "What ingredients will go bad on the same day? Even if it takes three to five days, the ingredients are just a little stale. Besides, what if the ingredients are not fresh? You can't kill people if you eat them. Marinate it with heavy oil and heavy salt? Just add more chili or something so that customers can’t eat it.”

He said very annoyedly: "No wonder you spend so much money, how can such a waste of money not be big? The restaurant has small profits but high turnover, so it doesn't make much money at all, and you fucking waste it on it."

Although he was scolded, he was still a college student after all, so Xiao Longbo said hesitantly, "But will there be any problems if you do this?"

Gao Yousi looked at Xiao Longbo with contempt on his face: "What a fart! Who doesn't do this when running a restaurant? Do you understand how to increase income and reduce expenditure? Anyway, you just follow what I said, and they have all been reduced to eating box lunches." It’s too late, who cares about being healthy or not?”

"The 100 million invested in the angel round, if you don't save some money, you won't be able to support the A and B rounds, and if you spend too much money and have no effect, there is no way to get a high valuation in the A and B rounds , think about it yourself!"

After Gao Yousi finished speaking, he left without looking back.

But Xiao Longbo thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

The clerk was holding the ingredients and stood very hard, so he had to ask: "Mr. Xiao, do you want to throw away these ingredients?"

"Don't pour it out, put it back in the refrigerator. For meat, marinate it tomorrow morning, and then sell it normally."

"Okay, I know."

The situation is stronger than people, Xiao Longbo wants to make a lot of money, so he has to do what Gao Yousi said.

In fact, the reason for causing a lot of waste is also a manifestation of his "knowing what it is but not knowing why". He only knows that Lu Yiming's daily ingredients are not overnight, but he ignores Lu Yiming's accurate statistics on the amount of raw materials used every day, and Do an up-front estimate.According to Lu Yiming's algorithm, the remaining ingredients every day are less than 5.00% of the total ingredients.

Moreover, these ingredients will not be wasted, but will be directly processed as special ingredients after get off work in the evening, and sold to small vendors who do night snack business.

For ordinary people, not to mention the 90s now, even if it is another 20 years, it is impossible to keep the ingredients at home overnight, and it is good to not eat overnight meals, so these ingredients are actually very fresh and belong to edible category.

It's just that Lu Yiming didn't dare to sell it to customers because of the brand image of Zhenxiang fast food.

But selling to street vendors is no problem, because they are not "customers", and the purchase price of the ingredients of Zhenxiang fast food is already low because of the large quantity, and if there is a bargain price, the small street vendors who sell night snacks can't refuse at all.

After going back and forth, the current cooperation between the two parties is basically quite tacit now. After 09:30 every night, Zhenxiang Fast Food will take out the ingredients that cannot be used up that day, and let these small vendors come over to snap up. First come, first served, every time They can all be sold clean, and there is basically no waste.

But these things are not available in Fanzhenxiang fast food.

In fact, this is also a common problem of all copycats. They have learned the shape but can't learn the spirit. They don't know that the details determine success or failure.This is why it is said that those who learn from me live like me and die.Learning has its own thinking, blindly copying and imitating, without its own core, it will not go far at all.

a week later.

Xiao Longbo got up early, there was no class in the morning, so he went to the store to watch.

"Mr. Xiao."

"Hello, Mr. Xiao."

"Well, hello everyone."

Xiao Longbo enjoyed the feeling of such a successful person. When he walked into the back kitchen area, he looked around a few times, then frowned and asked, "Where did Kong Ergou go? Isn't it his turn to be on duty today?"

Ji Feiyang shook his head: "I don't know, didn't he come to work on time today?"

Xiao Longbo said unhappily: "This guy always arrives late and leaves early. I remember his name. When this time passes, let him go."

Several employees around heard trembling.

If you are late and leave early, you will be fired?
This boss doesn't take his employees seriously, does he?
In fact, Kong Ergou had already visited the store more than an hour ago.

However, at this moment, he was sitting in a cafe near the door, his eyes staring straight at one direction, as if he was waiting for someone.

After a while, the person he was waiting for came.

He was wearing a neat dark blue suit, and his temperament was well controlled.

A valuable watch on his wrist shows his status as a successful person.

The person Kong Ergou was waiting for was Lu Yiming.

"boss."

When Kong Ergou saw Lu Yiming coming in, he immediately greeted him.

Lu Yiming smiled at him and asked, "Have you brought what I want?"

Kong Ergou hurriedly said: "Bring it! I have taken the photos, and this time there is absolutely solid evidence... It's just that I will lose my job after doing this, so Mr. Lu, you promised to give it to me before." The reward for..."

While talking, Kong Ergou handed over the black bag containing the camera: "Mr. Lu, I'll return this to you first."

Without further ado, Lu Yiming took out a large envelope and said, "Here is 5 yuan. After I confirm that there is no problem with the photo, I will give you the remaining 5 yuan."

He opened the black bag, which contained a camera and a stack of photos.

The photos were taken of various evidences of the use of expired ingredients in Fanzhenxiang Fast Food in the last three days.

This is what Lu Yiming came up with after hearing that Gao Yousi asked Fanzhenxiang fast food to use expired ingredients.

Originally, he was still thinking about playing a protracted game, but he didn't expect Gao Yousi to send the assist on his own initiative.

With such kindness, Lu Yiming felt embarrassed if he refused.

Immediately, he contacted Kong Ergou, and under the lure of 10 yuan, he took these photos.

After reading the photos, Lu Yiming took out another envelope and said, "Here is the remaining [-]."

Holding two bulging envelopes, Kong Ergou's hands were shaking with excitement.

He is a farmer who went to work in the city, and Lu Yiming even taught him how to press the shutter button temporarily. He has never seen so much money.

A full 10 yuan is enough for him to build a magnificent mansion in the countryside!
Seeing Lu Yiming turn around and leave, Kong Ergou said excitedly: "Boss, if there is still such a good thing in the future, remember to contact me."

When Lu Yiming disappeared at the end of the road, Kong Ergou suddenly said something very important.

"What's the boss's last name? How can I find him in the future?"

According to the knowledge, Lu Yiming never revealed his identity, and Kong Ergou was knocked out by the 5 yuan advance payment, so he never thought about these issues at all.

Now that the money is in hand and the IQ has regained the high ground, I just remembered this.

But Lu Yiming had gone far.

This made Kong Ergou very sorry, feeling that he had missed a good opportunity to make a fortune.

At noon, Lu Yiming was looking at these photos in the dormitory, thinking about how to maximize the value of these photos.

Ni Cong had just returned from eating in the cafeteria. He was picking his teeth with a toothpick in his hand. Seeing so many photos in Lu Yiming's hand, he asked curiously, "What are you looking at? Why are there so many photos?"

After looking over his head for a few moments, Ni Cong was even more confused: "What are you taking pictures of? Did you go to the store for a private visit?"

"It's not right, this is not the back kitchen of our store. I rely on you to secretly take pictures?"

Seeing him startled, Lu Yiming said, "Stop yelling, this is a really delicious kitchen. I got someone to take a picture of it."

Ni Cong was taken aback: "How did you get this?"

Lu Yiming said calmly: "If you have money, you can turn ghosts around. How else can you take photos? I spent 10 yuan and bought one of Xiao Longbo's employees to help me take photos of these evidences. The food is delicious. The use of expired ingredients and substandard sanitation, these photos are ironclad evidence and even more evidence.”

Ni Cong was stunned by this operation, and asked, "Is it really okay to do this?"

Lu Yiming said righteously: "It's just looking for a commercial spy. It's okay if you don't get caught and show yourself. Besides, I didn't want to spy on any commercial secrets. I chose to expose the evil deeds out of conscience. For justice, do you understand justice?"

Ni Cong: "..."

I have never seen such a brazen person!
After calming down, Ni Cong asked, "What are you going to do? Go directly to the media and expose the truth?"

Lu Yiming nodded slightly, and said, "This is necessary, not only to the media, but also to the market supervision department."

"hiss……"

Ni Cong couldn't help but gasped.

"Would this be too cruel? I'm afraid Fan Zhenxiang will be seized?"

Lu Yiming said lightly: "The lightest thing is to suspend business for rectification. With the current situation of Fanzhenxiang Fast Food, once it can't operate normally, it will basically be declared out."

Lu Yiming didn't intend to let go of this one-hit-kill opportunity. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and women's benevolence is unacceptable.

Ni Cong felt a toothache just thinking about it. This kind of life-and-death competition made him a little uncomfortable. After all, not long ago, he was just a student who had just stepped into the university.Only now did he truly realize how cruel the competition was.

Lu Yiming didn't have so many emotions. In his opinion, Xiao Longbo himself made a mistake in strategy, and now he was beaten to stand at attention.

After school in the afternoon, Lu Yiming went to the student union to find Shi Qingxue.

There were many people in the student union, and many of them surrounded Xiao Longbo to flatter him.

Although Gao Yousi was very dissatisfied with his actions, after all, he paid attention to it and found a food newspaper to interview Xiao Longbo.

Xiao Longbo had just finished the interview, and was accepting the compliments from those students in high spirits.

Seeing Lu Yiming coming in, Xiao Longbo's eyes lit up immediately, he got up and walked towards Lu Yiming.

For him, listening to ten compliments is better than pretending to be aggressive in front of Lu Yiming once.

"Hey, isn't this Lu Xuedi? Why do you have time to come to my student union today? It's a sin for me not to go out to welcome a person like you."

Facing the haughty Xiao Longbo, Lu Yiming was not angry at all, instead he said with a smile: "It seems that President Xiao has been doing well recently, is it because you are in good spirits on happy occasions?"

Although Xiao Longbo hated Lu Yiming deeply, he still smiled and said, "It's all thanks to my junior who showed me the way."

The two of you said one sentence to another, and secretly confronted each other. After a few rounds, neither of them would be outdone.

Lu Yiming was too lazy to say anything to Xiao Longbo, so he called Shang Shi Qingxue to prepare to leave. Before leaving, he pointedly said to Xiao Longbo: "Laugh more while you can."

While Xiao Longbo was unhappy, he also faintly felt a little uneasy, and asked with a dark face: "What do you mean by that?"
"Don't worry, you'll understand soon."

Walking out of the student union, Shi Qingxue defended Lu Yiming and said, "Xiao Longbo is really shameless. He copied your idea, and now he comes here to show off his power. Seeing his face, I really want to go up and give him two punches."

Seeing Shi Qingxue's clenched fist and angry face, Lu Yiming immediately felt amused, stretched out his hand to hold Shi Qingxue's fist, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's really unnecessary to be angry with this kind of person. Anyway He won't be jumping for long, just let him go."

Shi Qingxue asked curiously: "Listening to what you said, what kind of conspiracy have you come up with?"

When Lu Yiming heard it, his face turned dark: "Is that how you use idioms?"

With the interviews appearing in the newspapers, Fan Zhenxiang's reputation has been improved to a certain extent, and the reflection in sales is also very intuitive, which makes Xiao Longbo feel very happy.He felt that this report card should be able to stop Gao Yousi's mouth.As long as it is maintained for a period of time and the funds are withdrawn, a second store can be opened.

Actually, Xiao Longbo didn't know what Gao Yousi's idea was.

What Gao You thinks is to open a store frantically, and then tell stories to investors, attract venture capital, and cash out.He never thought about running Fan Zhenxiang as a business.That's why he was so annoyed when he saw Xiao Longbo's delay in opening a branch.

But Xiao Longbo naively thought that Gao Yousi just wanted to make Fanzhenxiang Fast Food bigger and stronger.

What Xiao Longbo thinks is to make money from clients, but what Gao You thinks is to make money from investors.

Xiao Longbo is also thinking about whether to start the B round of financing in advance. After all, there is still a blank space for mid-to-high-end fast food in the market. Whoever starts fast enough will be able to maximize the staking.

As long as the financing is successful, Fan Zhenxiang's stores can increase rapidly.

Xiao Longbo has great ambitions, he is not satisfied with Zhong Hai, he also wants to open more chain stores, and even become a fast food giant in the mainland!

Just like McDonald's and KFC, when people mention Chinese fast food, they think of Xiao Longbo.

A sudden ringing of the bell pulled Xiao Longbo back from his fantasy.

"It's bad, our store has been sealed off!"
