Diguafang No. 2 branch opened, but this time it was not as grand as the first opening, and no one from the official came to help out.

After Lin Tao took care of Dai Kun, Shang Jingjing dared to show up in public.In the past, they were afraid of dragons and Dai Lianhe, but now they are just Long Tianxing, and Shang Jingjing is not afraid at all.

The main store of Diguafang is located in the pedestrian street, located in the eastern business district of Junbei.Junbei has three big business districts in the east, west and south. Shang Jingjing's No. 2 branch is located in the west business district. It is far away from the main store and will not affect the performance of each other.

The reputation of Good Man Sweet Potato Shop has already been established in Junbei, and many people come all the way here just to taste the legendary best baked sweet potato.

The word "best" is a word-of-mouth positioning. On the Junbei local website, there is a comment of "the best roasted sweet potato" in the food recommendation.

With the previous foreshadowing, the opening day of the No. 2 branch became the busiest scene in the western business district.People who originally lived here wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so they had to take a car to the eastern business district. Not to mention the traffic jam, it was a waste of time.Now that the No. 2 branch has opened, you can eat the "best" roasted sweet potatoes within a few steps, so it's no wonder you're unhappy.

The fully automatic sweet potato roasting machine designed by the No. [-] Machinery Factory is quite good. After final debugging, it has basically reached more than [-]% of the level of Ma Zhiqiang's manual roasting.While Ma Zhiqiang was happy, he was also a little disappointed. The taste of roasting by machine was almost the same as that of roasting by hand, so why should he do it by himself?

Lin Tao tried to persuade him, especially the issue of super roasted sweet potatoes.Ordinary sweet potatoes are roasted, and the taste is about [-]%, and ordinary people can't tell the difference. And the special-grade roasted sweet potatoes are Ma Zhiqiang's signature, so Lin Tao plans to make a limited edition, and the two stores have a certain amount every day. This is not only a gimmick, but also a good promotional tool.

Hearing this, Ma Zhiqiang felt a little more comfortable. After all, he exists to bake sweet potatoes. If the machine can do everything he can, then there is no need for him to stay in the sweet potato workshop.

There was a long queue outside the door, and Lin Tao smiled happily. Although the entire No. 2 branch was managed by Shang Jingjing, after all, it was because of the main shop that No. 2 branch existed, and at least half of the credit was due to him. .

This branch is considered to be a direct operation. Lin Tao discussed with Shang Jingjing that if the performance of the branch is good, he should consider opening one in the southern business district. First, occupy the entire Junbei, and then consider franchise stores in other places.

But no one expected that on the second day after the opening of the branch, businessmen from the neighboring county and city would come to discuss franchise matters. On the whole, if they could reach an agreement, seven or eight companies could be avoided near Junbei.

However, Shang Jingjing did not agree with this kind of expansion development. Too many similar projects died of rapid expansion. The project sponsors made a lot of money, but the franchisees ended up in bad luck.

According to the screening criteria, 4 franchisees were finally selected. They are all capable and experienced in the industry, and there will be no problems in operation.

The contract Shang Jingjing made was quite harsh, and it listed almost all conceivable problems in it.And since then, the franchisees are just joining in and making money by using Sweet Potato Farm, instead of making profits through technology transfer and other means.

In fact, even if the conditions are not so harsh, they have no way to learn the technology. All the programs of the sweet potato roasting machine are set, and they only need to follow the steps of training and learning.

Lin Tao also thought about the possibility of fully automatic roasted sweet potatoes being imitated, especially for simple programs, even encryption is useless. Now that there are too many talented people, it is not difficult to crack the program at all.

But this is a very normal thing. Even Coca-Cola is not the only Coke manufacturer, and Pepsi is against it. It is impossible to monopolize all the markets by selling baked sweet potatoes.

Ordinary sweet potatoes may have the same taste after imitation, but the ultimate killer has not yet been used.The reason why Lin Tao didn't go to the special roasted sweet potatoes is to keep this trump card to deal with malicious competitors.The sweet potato roasting machine can be imitated. Where can they buy the sweet potatoes cultivated by Ma Zhiqiang?

Just like the main store, there are people queuing up outside the No. 2 branch every day to buy roasted sweet potatoes. The performance is slightly worse than the main store, but not much worse, which is completely acceptable.

Shang Jingjing was very satisfied, the passenger flow was basically the same as she calculated, there was not much difference.

Making money is a trivial matter, she is not short of money herself, she just enjoys the pleasure of success, otherwise, she will grow old little by little every day lying on money, what is the meaning of life.

After the 4 franchisees signed the contracts, Shang Jingjing placed an order with the Second Machinery Factory, each with 4 fully automatic sweet potato roasting machines, each priced at 1 yuan, the total cost of the 4 franchisees was 16 yuan, and the cost was only Less than 2000, a net profit of 8000 yuan.

In fact, in this regard, Lin Tao did not take any advantage at all. The franchise fee was 5, 4 for the machine, and the remaining 1 was the serious franchise fee. It was almost a subsidy to help the Second Machinery Factory.

If this model continues, even if 2000 branches are opened, the franchise fee that Lin Tao can get is only 2000 million, and the profit of the second machinery factory is more than 6000 million from the fully automatic sweet potato roasting machine. In comparison, Lin Tao Also lost.

But that's not how the accounts are calculated. The reason why Shang Jingjing signed the franchise contract is that the conditions are harsh. Five thousandths of the franchisee's daily turnover must be converted into profits and handed over to the headquarters.That is to say, for every 1000 yuan, 5 yuan will be given to Lin Tao. Although this amount is small, it is calculated on a daily basis after all. The sales in 30 days are quite a lot, and this is only one family. With only one branch, the daily income is quite objective.And 2000% of the turnover is not too much pressure on the franchisee. If it is 5.00%, I am afraid that it needs to be carefully considered.

After receiving the order, the Second Machinery Factory spared some of its manpower to speed up the manufacture of fully automatic sweet potato roasting machines.Due to the small quantity, there is no need to open molds, and there is no need to use fully automatic CNC machine tools. With the worker's operating level, manual operation is quite easy as long as there are drawings.

The net profit of the 16 fully automatic sweet potato roasting machines was 12 yuan, which Lin Tao called the finance of the second factory as soon as he received the franchise fee.Mu Cuichan was even more amazing. He didn't even hand over the money, so he directly ordered the accountant to distribute it all. On average, everyone could get more than 8000 yuan. Although it was not much, it was the expression of the factory director after all. He was rejoicing, and his attitude towards Mu Cuichan improved a lot.

The workers are so lovely, as long as they are given enough respect and a little financial subsidy, they will work wholeheartedly and at the same time do their best to support the work of the leaders.

Of course, Mu Cuican also understands this truth. This little money is not enough to buy people's hearts. It is just a show for the factory employees to let them know their attitude and help them do their jobs in the future.

When there are more and more orders, it is impossible to send money in this way every time. After all, the operation of the factory also needs money. In the end, the workers are rich and the factory is poor, and life cannot survive. How to balance the middle Relationships and connections are quite a challenge for Mu Cuican.

When Lin Tao received a thank you call from Mu Cuichan, he was polite again and again. Mu Cuican used money to buy people's hearts, so why didn't Lin Tao use orders to win over him?

The Chang family and his son are now regarded by Lin Tao as the number one enemy. Unless necessary, he will never use Zhang Chaosheng's power.Zhou Guangcai was able to let himself be brought down. If Chang Zhengwu deceived others too much, he would be the next Zhou Guangcai, but with greater power and more difficult to operate.

Guo Yiling has been very busy recently and has no time to take care of Lin Tao's business. Hearing that the No. 2 branch has opened, she is naturally very happy. She took the time to make a special dinner to celebrate Lin Tao.

Next, Guo Yiling will prepare to go abroad. The United States has a business to discuss, and strives to become one of the agents of the Chinese side.The general agent didn't want to think about it, and Qingchen's financial resources did not allow it to compete for this position.

Guo Yiling's general agent in the target area is the best general agent in the north. If he can't do it, he should settle for the second best and strive for the general agent in the Northeast region. This is the final bottom line. Donghai or Junbei's agent, this business is meaningless.

Proud that she was going abroad, Lin Tao really wanted to go with her, but a phone call from Bai Baisheng cut him off for a year. He had promised to go to Mingzhu after the New Year, but now it has been so long, and he still has to Bai Baisheng called to invite, if Lin Tao didn't go, he would feel a little unflattered.

Guo Yiling didn't have any special thoughts. After all, they both have their own careers now, and it's normal for them to not see each other when they are busy. She was the best mentally prepared from the beginning.

Guo Yiling successfully obtained the visa, and this time she will bring her two most capable employees—Feng Yingyao and Chen Rong.Lin Tao sent the three of them to the plane and was going to the capital to transfer to New York. There was no direct flight to Junbei.

After going home to rest for a day, Lin Tao boarded the plane to Mingzhu.He originally planned to drive there by himself, but after checking the route map, he found that this road was really cheating, and it would be more convenient to go there by plane, so he gave up on this year.

It was already afternoon when he arrived at Mingzhu Airport. As usual, Sara came to pick him up. I haven't seen him for a while. Sara seems to be a little fat. Lin Tao even joked about it.

Sara was coquettish for a while, but she was naturally unconvinced, and said that she didn't want to try it at night.

Lin Tao knew that as long as he arrived at Mingzhu, he would definitely not be able to escape Sarah's entanglement at night. If he didn't satisfy her for a while, he would see an extremely resentful face tomorrow.

It's not the first time for Lin Tao to come to the headquarters of Baisheng Group, but every time he comes, he always has a feeling of looking up to him. In terms of business, he first admires Bai Baisheng, and then Shang Jingjing. Both of them are strong women in this field. .

Bai Baisheng received Lin Tao in his office, which is enough to show that he values ​​the relationship between the two. Most people do not receive such courtesy, and most of them have to meet in the conference room.

Lin Tao greeted with a smile all over his face, but Bai Baisheng's reaction was very cold, which made him a little embarrassed.Sara sniggered at the side, and winked at him, indicating that nothing happened, the boss was just a little angry.

Serving coffee, Sarah closed the door and left.

Lin Tao said with a smile: "Sister Bai, I haven't seen you for a while, but your complexion is getting better and better!"

"Can you change the beginning to something less tacky?"

Lin Taoxin said that this is not petty anger, it is obviously just anger, but he really can't figure out how he has offended her.

Smiling twice, he said, "Miss Bai hasn't had a good rest recently, is she a little bit out of breath?"

"It's useless not to talk to me, some things I'll ask myself, I won't ask!" Bai Baisheng gave him a sideways look, with his slender legs resting on the table.

"Where do I start with this? I have to give some hints about what to recruit!" Lin Tao felt that he was too innocent, and he came all the way here just to be questioned by Xingshi?

"Stop pretending! Did you see my fourth uncle during the Chinese New Year?"

"Your fourth uncle is..." Lin Tao suddenly realized, patted his thigh and smiled, "It's Bai Qingchun, Uncle Bai, that's right, I saw him during the Chinese New Year!"

"That's it, do it yourself!"

"I just bumped into it, and I didn't say anything else!" Lin Tao still felt puzzled as to what he wanted to say.

Bai Baisheng asked with a cold face: "You are the boyfriend of the daughter of the Deputy Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, aren't you?"

"Yeah, haven't I said this?" Lin Tao thought for a while, and he really didn't say it. The main reason is that he didn't have a chance to say it. He originally wanted to take Guo Yiling to the advertisement on New Year's Day. After being wounded and unconscious for so long, when she woke up, she was too busy to have time.Speaking of which, I still owe her a trip.

"It's true that I never said that!" Lin Tao nodded, and couldn't help laughing, "Sister Bai, it's just because of this, why are you so angry!"

"I don't care about your relationship issues, so I'll just ask you, where did you meet my fourth uncle during the Chinese New Year?"

"The Xishan villas in the capital city..." Lin Tao immediately understood what she meant. It turned out that he was blaming himself for not telling her about his relationship with the higher-ups.In fact, the relationship between the two is not so good. Thinking that even Guo Yiling didn't know about his relationship with the Zhang family, Bai Baisheng's relationship with Guo Yiling is not as good as before.

"What, do you think we're not close enough, there's no need to tell me?" Bai Baisheng's expression turned ugly, and even his tone became louder.

"Misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding!" Lin Tao waved his hands repeatedly.

"Then tell me, why didn't you tell me?" Bai Baisheng just grasped at this question.

"This... how can I say this!" Lin Tao thought for a while, and found the most unreasonable reason. "We have never talked about this topic. With my original status, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you!"

Bai Baisheng was taken aback for a moment, thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense.
