Back To 2005

"Very nice, but unfortunately I don't really need this."

After listening to the other party's story, Zhou Anan had to admire the other party's keen observation, but it was a pity that he let the other party down.

What smart home system is currently unavailable to him?

Although he has a large suite in Hangzhou, the decoration and other decorations are all done by his lover and senior sister. Zhou Anan has no control over it except for paying for it.

"It's okay. If it's convenient, sir, can you leave your contact information? You may need other products that our company represents."

Regarding the other party's rejection, Chen Ke was well prepared and still said with a smile.

Psychological quality, leverage.

"Can."

For such a capable and good-looking elite, Zhou Anan wouldn't mind leaving his contact information.

"this is my name card."

"I don't have a business card, so why don't you leave me your number? Well, the car I'm waiting for is here. Let's talk when we have a chance."

After accepting the other party's business card and reporting his number, Zhou Anan saw a red Ferrari slowly parked beside him, smiled and waved.

"You know him?"

When the boy got in the car, Yu Xianer asked casually.

"I just met a very capable girl."

Looking at the business card in his hand, Zhou Anan couldn't help but shook his head when he realized that the other person was already the deputy manager of a department.

These days, deputy manager positions are everywhere, and you have to go to the market in person. It seems that Hangzhou is not easy to get around.

"Yizheng Industry and Trade? It's quite famous. It specializes in being an agent for high-end household products."

Glancing at the business card, Yu Xianer said with a smile.

"oh."

Unexpectedly, it was not the passerby manager he knew. Zhou Anan smiled but didn't care.

First, he went to the company to meet up with Wang Rong and Vice President Gu, and a group of four people and two cars began their inspection tour.

Originally, due to rapid expansion, the number of Hangzhou branches had expanded to 35. After rectification and integration, the small stores that were merged were eliminated, leaving 13 stores.

But in terms of staffing, it has increased rather than decreased.

In addition to the increased number of waiters in each flagship store, as many as 50 reserve staff have been included in the store manager training list to prepare for the subsequent expansion of direct-operated stores.

Also, provide clerks for new brand stores.

Although the new brand is taking the franchise route, it is its own directly-operated stores that first gain word of mouth.

In Hangzhou, new brands are not planning to develop franchise stores.

"Welcome to Qinglan Tea."

Walking into a flagship store in the CBD, five waiters standing behind the counter greeted customers with smiles.

"Well enough."

Looking around Bai Laiping's flagship store, Zhou Anan nodded.

In a single round of rent and decoration, the investment in this flagship store is comparable to the previous seven or eight small stores.

I don’t know if the strategy he decided will result in a loss.

However, looking at the current almost full number of customers in the store, Zhou Anan feels that the possibility of losing money is unlikely.

Anyway, he is not planning to make much money in this industry in the past two years.

What he values ​​​​is the future money scene.

"Two cappuccinos."

"Is it hot or cold?"

"Two glasses with ice."

"Okay, here is your receipt. Please go to the food collection area and wait."

It took a minute to buy two cups of coffee. Zhou Anan was quite satisfied with the waiter's attitude and efficiency.

Although Starbucks' model is good, it's too uncomfortable to keep selling every time customers buy something.

"How about it?"

Taking the coffee from the boy, Yu Xianer asked with a smile.

"Compared with Starbucks, it's not bad, but it still needs improvement. In addition, we can add a book corner to store some famous novels. This store in the CBD area can also add some books on economics and management to increase the atmosphere."

After taking a bite, Zhou Anan gave some opinions.

Relatively speaking, in terms of taste, Zhou Anan still likes Starbucks' Jiao Ma.

Of course, for now, after adding imported coffee bean raw materials, the taste is pretty good.

You know, Qinglan Tea spends millions a year on the R\u0026D team, and Zhou Anan will not let them get high salaries so easily.

Only when there is pressure can there be progress.

Catching up with Starbucks is more than just a slogan.

"Well, then the next family."

Service and environment are the focus of Zhou Anan's inspection, and the rest is the task of Wang Rong and Wang Rong.

From 4 o'clock to 8:30 pm, Zhou Anan and others visited seven flagship stores in total.

Although some minor problems were discovered and there is still a lot of room for improvement, the overall situation is still good.

The most important thing is that the business of each flagship store is pretty good.

"See you tomorrow."

At the gate of Nanzhou Garden, Zhou Anan and Miss Yu waved goodbye.

Without going to the door of 3111, Zhou Anan came to the door of 1111. After opening it, he saw the figure of a certain heroine lying on the sofa.

This night, it was naturally a red-scented soft tent, lingering and not knowing where to go.

Starting at nine o'clock the next morning, Zhou Anan and others inspected the remaining six stores again.

When I returned to the company, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Let's have some casual food first, and I'll treat you to a big dinner for dinner."

Pointing to the fast food packed by his subordinates, Yu Xian'er said with a smile.

"It's okay. Let me talk about the problems I found first."

During the meeting, which lasted for nearly an hour, everyone expressed their opinions, and then added a few more detailed regulations to the management manual of the directly operated store.

After rectifying the local flagship store in Hangzhou, and then the flagship stores in other urban areas, it is no longer Zhou Anan's business, just follow the template.

It seems that apart from the local ones in Hangcheng, the remaining ones are four tea shops in Lucheng and Lizhou, which are privately invested by Zhou Anan.

For this reason, Zhou Anan personally withdrew 300,000 yuan from Qinglan Tea's account.

After deducting the initial investment and adding previous profits, the net profit was more than 400,000 yuan in more than half a year.

Of course, the positions of Zhang Ting, the person in charge of Lucheng, and Zhou Shun, the person in charge of Lizhou, remain unchanged.

However, as a store manager, the 5% dry stock income originally enjoyed has been reduced to 3%, the same as store managers of other flagship stores.

"Then the stores in Lucheng and Lizhou will trouble you."

After closing the folder, Zhou Anan, who was a little dizzy, said to Wang Rong and Wang Rong with a smile.

"I'm not tired. The main reason is that Mr. Gu does a lot of work."

Wang Rong said with a smile that he did not take any credit.

After taking management as an elective in school and following Vice President Gu for a few months, Wang Rong felt that his knowledge and horizons had significantly broadened and he had benefited a lot.

"Mr. Wang, you're welcome."

Smiling politely, Gu Lanshan, who spoke little, once again confirmed the opinions of several major shareholders and settled.

"Okay, let Mr. Yu treat you to dinner. We'll see you then."

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Zhou Anan was ready to leave.

The time he spent drinking Qinglan tea in the past two days was more than the total time he spent in the previous year.

For Zhou Anan, who can already become a billionaire in the future, this is already very tiring.

"Wherever you go, I'll take you there."

The next thing was for professionals, Yu Xianer also got up and left.

"4S store."

He walked to the passenger seat and sat down naturally. Feeling a certain gaze, Zhou Anan stopped for a moment, then stood up naturally.

"Um."

With a cold snort, after the other party obediently walked out of the passenger seat, Yu Xianer handed the other party the car keys and got in.
