Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 295 Opening a store in the provincial capital
"Hahaha, now I know how weak you are. I dare to say that I am proficient in this little show."

"It's better to practice more and talk big again."

Gao Yun clapped her hands and laughed, looking very proud.

Liu Xiangyang and Ma Liangping also appeared on the sidelines, especially Liu Xiangyang, who looked a little embarrassed and felt that his junior sister had gone too far.

However, they also knew Gao Yun's temper and couldn't say anything, so they could only look at Chen Huajiang in embarrassment.

"sharp."

"You're right, I need to practice more."

Chen Huajiang got up indifferently, patted the dirt on his body, and nodded slightly to Gao Yun.

After speaking, he turned and walked out.

"It's good to know."

Gao Yun thought he had given in, and said proudly with her hands folded, feeling very happy in her heart.

Chen Huajiang did not show up the next day, which made Gao Yun a little puzzled.

On the third and fourth day, he still didn’t show up.

"Isn't it because he was hit too hard by me that he didn't dare to come? Do you think I should apologize to him?"

Gao Yun muttered to Ma Liangping, feeling a little tangled in her heart.

I felt that I had gone too far and hurt Chen Huajiang's self-esteem too much.

"Chen Huajiang is not here. He left with Er Mao the day before yesterday. He must have gone to do some business. After all, he made it clear at the beginning that we are not just martial arts people, and learning martial arts is for quick success."

"Don't look at me suspiciously. I went to the food street to eat yesterday. Zhang Bao and the others told me."

Ma Liangping explained to Gao Yun.

Gao Yun then breathed a sigh of relief, and then said arrogantly: "Huh, what are you doing? You were hit by me, so you thought of a way to hide."

She felt that this was the truth, turned around and walked back to the yard.

At this time, Chen Huajiang was in Jiangling City, the provincial capital, and had been to the TV station to place advertisements in the past two days.

Today we are selecting stores, planning to expand Haidilao here to combat the development of Fugui Catering in the provincial capital.

There are five Fugui Catering stores in Jiangling City, middle-aged in the southeast, northwest, and they all developed together last year.It has a certain popularity and reputation in the local area and has many guests.

Chen Huajiang's first store to expand outward was diagonally opposite Fugui Restaurant's downtown store. In fact, several nearby stores were not available for rent.

The owner is a middle-aged man in his forties. He runs a clothing store, but the business is not doing well and he is subletting it to others.

A transfer fee of 1000 yuan, and a rent fee of [-] yuan for half a year.

Chen Huajiang didn't bargain with him, he agreed directly, and then asked him to find the landlord again.Chen Huajiang originally wanted to rent the house for five years, but the landlord showed his willingness to sell the house.

How could Chen Huajiang be polite to him, and directly bought the store for 5 yuan.

The next step is to decorate and prepare for business.

This is the first time that the Kunlun Restaurant Haidilao chain store brand appeared in Jiangling City, and the advertisement he ordered was also broadcast on the provincial TV station.

First there was the publicity that guests were lining up to enter and the business was full, then there was the exquisite decoration of the store and the politeness of the waiters, and then there was the explanation of Haidilao hot pot and the lies about the inherited recipe.

Finally, there is the investment call, handing over the opening of the store, step-by-step guidance, and providing support throughout the process.

This set has long been difficult to play in later generations, but it is the first time it appears now.

Soon Chen Huajiang received calls from his subordinates. Many people called to inquire and wanted to join and open a store.

Chen Huajiang asked Wei Lanhua to take people to inspect, first to see if the other party met the franchise standards, and to select high-quality franchisees.

He knew how the franchise stores in later generations developed wildly and ended up in a mess.

It is also a hot pot restaurant, like a small-tailed sheep, read and read, after a period of hot pot restaurants such as Chuande, they all disappeared.

It's either closed or bankrupt. It's a better business selling hot pot bottoms, but basically it's not the opponent of Haidilao.

The fundamental core reason is that the barbaric development has caused problems in the selection of franchisees, and ultimately the bad reputation has caused a chain reaction.

Wei Lanhua is an ambitious woman, and Chen Huajiang is quite relieved about her.

The subordinates are not afraid of being ambitious, but of not being ambitious.

Soon the central store in Gangneung City opened, and a series of activities attracted the first batch of customers who came in to try it out.

Soon, these guests were attracted by this novel way of dining. With self-service hotpot dishes, self-service dipping sauces, and a variety of hot pot bases, there is always something to suit their taste.

Gradually, business is getting better and better, and there are more and more guests.

"Boss, someone is looking for you."

Store manager Zhang Meili shouted to Chen Hai, pointing to the two middle-aged men who came in at the door.

Zhang Meili was a waiter trained by Wei Lanhua through standardized training. She was a waiter at Haidilao Hot Pot Restaurant in Nanming City and was later promoted to foreman.

Now that Chen Huajiang is expanding his territory, he naturally chooses the store manager from among the foremen.

"Let them come to the office."

Chen Huajiang only glanced at the other party and roughly guessed that the other party might be here to join.

Sure enough, one of them clearly expressed his intention to join as soon as he entered the office.

"Boss Chen, I am very optimistic about the prospects of your hot pot restaurant and want to join your Haidilao hot pot restaurant."

"But your franchising method is too harsh. We provide the store ourselves, find the waiters, and operate it ourselves. You only provide technology and training and account for [-]% of the profit. Is this excessive? Also Why do you have to appoint the store manager?"

The speaker was in his thirties, wearing a suit and tie. He took out a copy of the Haidilao hot pot restaurant franchise promotional materials from the leather bag under his arm, and said to Chen Huajiang with a slight frown.

Obviously, as he said, he is optimistic about the prospect of joining and wants to bargain.

"What's your name?" Chen Huajiang made him a cup of tea and smiled.

"My surname is Zhao, and my given name is Quan. Boss Chen calls me Zhao Quan. This is Boss Liu, and Liu Shantian is my friend."

Zhao Quan took the tea cup from Chen Huajiang with both hands and introduced it politely.

"Boss Zhao, let me summarize your problems. First, you feel that our arrangement of store managers is unreasonable and robs you of your rights as the boss. Second, you feel that the [-]% profit commission is unreasonable and too much. Is that so?"

Chen Huajiang asked with a smile.

"Yes." Zhao Quan nodded.

Liu Shantian on the other side rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't this an obvious meaning? Do you need to summarize it? Even a fool can hear it."

Chen Huajiang glanced at him. It was obvious that Liu Shantian was a very arrogant person.

"If I say that this is our sincerity, for your own good and for the franchisees, you will definitely not agree."

"Then let me break it down and explain it to you. I believe you will understand it after I explain it."

Chen Huajiang smiled slightly and prepared to teach them.
