rebirth from small pockets

"In June, we will open twenty branches in Tianjin."

“And strive to increase the number of our branches to one hundred in July!”

"In addition, Assistant Zhang has already inspected the market in Hebei Province."

".!"

Although it was Su Mei's farewell dinner, in the end Su Mei still talked about work with Chen Li.

It can be seen that Su Mei, who works at Ideal Fried Chicken, is in much better condition than Su Mei, who works as a counselor at school.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that Ideal Fried Chicken currently has no competitors.

To put it bluntly, today's ideal fried chicken takes a smooth uphill road, and fights with the wind. Naturally, it is easier to fight and makes people feel more happy.

However, life cannot always be smooth sailing. Sooner or later, Ideal Fried Chicken will encounter competitors in the same industry, and sooner or later it will face various problems and difficulties.

But~ Chen Li believes that even if he encounters difficulties, Ideal Fried Chicken can break through these obstacles~!

What Chen Li needs to do is to point out the direction for the new ship of Ideal Fried Chicken that has just set sail, and to steer the ship's steering wheel!

"Don't expand too fast!"

"Although I said at the beginning of the year that I would open 200 stores this year, that's all I said."

"The number of branches depends on our talent pool."

"We must pay attention to employee training and food safety supervision!"

"Over in Hebei province, you can ask Assistant Ren and Secretary Zhang to go over first and start the preparations."

"."

"Hey~ wait a minute!"

Chen Li's words were interrupted, and he looked at Su Mei with some confusion.

At this moment, Su Mei was looking at Chen Li with a strange look. After realizing that Chen Li didn't realize what he had done wrong, Su Mei said helplessly:

"My boss Chen, did you remember something wrong?"

"Assistant Ren and Secretary Zhang are not employees of our fried chicken restaurant."

"Those two are Xiaoli and Uncle Zhou who want to come here to help~ Even their wages are not paid by us."

"That's fine if they are in Yanjing~ Do you still want to transfer them to Hebei Province?"

"What's going on in your head?"

"Well!"

At this moment, Chen Li suddenly remembered that this assistant and Secretary Zhang were not his employees at all.

In fact~not only are these two not our employees, they are even about to leave Ideal Fried Chicken.

But to be honest, Chen Li was a little reluctant to let go, and was even unwilling to let the two of them go back.

After all, these two are really capable.

Take Assistant Ren as an example. This person is currently responsible for inspecting the market and selecting store locations.

Except for the first few Ideal Fried Chicken stores, which were selected by Chen Li himself, the dozens of branches that followed were all inspected and selected by Assistant Ren.

Especially when it comes to choice, don't underestimate this task. In fact, whether a store's location is good or not can directly affect the store's final operation.

The theory that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley is not suitable for today's ideal fried chicken.

The location is too remote and there is too little traffic around, making it unsuitable for a fried chicken restaurant to survive. This is why Chen Li is obsessed with opening a fried chicken restaurant near the university!

A university is completely enough to support an ideal fried chicken restaurant.

However, universities are limited. If we all rely on universities, it will be difficult to achieve the goal of opening 200 branches of Ideal Fried Chicken this year.

Therefore, if you want to break through the bottleneck, you must open up new markets.

However, the operating philosophy of Ideal Fried Chicken is to buy rather than rent, so some prime locations such as commercial districts are not currently considered for Ideal Fried Chicken.

To be precise, it is not among the top choices for ideal fried chicken.

Today's first choice for an ideal fried chicken restaurant is definitely around the university, and the location is even better, so it doesn't matter if you spend a little more for it.

After all, Chen Li would definitely not lose money if he bought the shops around the university at today's price in 1999.

Even if Ideal Fried Chicken doesn't open in the future, Chen Li will be able to count the money just by collecting rent from these stores.

But there are only so many universities, but some vocational and technical colleges are also okay.

Even places near some large middle schools are within the range of ideal fried chicken options.

As for elementary school students, Chen Li had actually not considered it, but it was only 1999, and even in Yanjing City, the pocket money in the hands of elementary school students was limited.

For a slightly "expensive" food like fried chicken, the consumption power of primary school students is still somewhat poor.

If it were ten years later, Chen Lida could also include the area near the primary school as his first choice, but now it can only be regarded as his second choice.

Whether it is a vocational technical college or a second-choice business district or other store locations, careful market research is required.

For example, a middle school with a few thousand students implements a closed management system. Even if these thousands of students are potential users of a fried chicken restaurant, if they cannot come out, naturally the business will not be good.

Even if some disobedient students sneak out, they are only a minority.

These students simply cannot support the operation of a branch, so the location selection needs to be carefully examined.

The same principle applies to some business circles. The locations in these business circles are definitely good, but they involve cost issues such as rent and labor, so careful calculations and considerations are also required.

Especially the shops in these prime locations~ few people choose to sell them, after all, the rents in these locations are quite high.

Even if it is on sale, it is still a very high price, which is not suitable for today's ideal fried chicken.

Therefore, the job of an assistant can be said to be quite important.

But with the ability of being an assistant, he is fully qualified for this job.

It's just that this person is a close confidant of Zhou Xiaoli's father, and Chen Li can't dig him out at all.

Equally important is Secretary Zhang!

To be honest, with Secretary Zhang's ability, not to mention just being responsible for the training of Ideal Fried Chicken, even if he was asked to serve as the general manager of Ideal Fried Chicken, Chen Li felt that he was completely qualified.

But precisely because the other party's ability was so outstanding, Chen Li knew very well that he would not be able to keep the other party, and Zhou Xiaoli's father probably would not agree.

Zhou Xiaoli's father sent Secretary Zhang here before, actually because Secretary Zhang had just given birth to a child.

Because her original secretarial job was relatively tedious and busy, and Zhou Xiaoli’s father and Secretary Zhang have been good friends for many years, Zhou’s father asked Secretary Zhang to help with the training and, by the way, help the baby!

Therefore, when Secretary Zhang often goes to training, he actually takes his children with him.

But once Secretary Zhang finishes breastfeeding her child, she still has to go back to work at the real estate company.

In fact, Zhou Xiaoli's father wanted to transfer Secretary Zhang back several times, but because Secretary Zhang's child was too young, this failed.

Therefore, whether it is Assistant Ren or Secretary Zhang, they are talents that Chen wants but cannot get.

This made Chen Li very depressed! But there was nothing he could do.

Because compared to fried chicken restaurants these days, anyone who is not a fool would choose a real estate company.

Even though Ideal Fried Chicken is now quite large, it is still a bit tasteless compared to the real estate companies of today.

These days, the two hottest industries in China are the Internet and real estate.

Unlike the Internet, which most people are still exploring, the real estate industry has already been recognized by the Chinese people.

If you let a businessman make a choice: open a fried chicken restaurant or engage in real estate?

There is no comparison at all!

In the same way, as a migrant worker, there is no comparison between working in a fried chicken restaurant or food company or working in a real estate company.

Unless they are food-related professionals, no one will choose a fried chicken restaurant.

Moreover, both Assistant Ren and Secretary Zhang have worked hard in the real estate industry for many years, and their life goals and future career plans are also in that industry, so unless Zhou Bowen fires them, otherwise.

Well~ even if Zhou Bowen opens them, they will only choose to work in another real estate company instead of working in Chen Li's fried chicken restaurant.

So at this time, the talent pool of Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant is particularly important.

"Well, let Xiao Zhang continue to stay in Hebei Province!"

"Besides, leave the training to Wang Chenglin!"

"He can now completely take charge of his own business."

Chen Li didn't think too much. After realizing what mistake he had just made, he directly gave another solution.

"Wang Chenglin?"

"Are you going to hand over future training matters to him?"

".Okay~ He can indeed!"

Su Mei tilted her head and nodded after thinking for a while. It was obvious that she also quite recognized Wang Chenglin's ability.

"Yeah~ This guy is probably not interested in doing anything else, but he wants to do training."

“Absolutely no problem!”

Chen Lili thought of Wang Chenglin and couldn't help but laugh.

Wang Chenglin~ is an employee that Ideal Fried Chicken hired just last month. He is 38 years old this year and currently serves as Secretary Zhang’s assistant.

Although he was said to be an assistant, he actually asked Wang Chenglin to learn from Secretary Zhang. But in fact, Wang Chenglin's ability in training should have surpassed Secretary Zhang's.

In fact, during the recent period, Wang Chenglin has been responsible for the training of newly recruited employees at Yanjing, and Secretary Zhang is still taking care of the children most of the time.

Speaking of this Wang Chenglin, it is somewhat interesting.

This guy doesn't even have a junior high school diploma, and he can't even write a lot of words. However, this guy's contagiousness is very strong, and he is a perfect fit for training.

This guy is actually quite miserable, and can even be said to be a bit tragic.

Before last year, this guy was a wealthy self-employed business owner who opened a clothing store in his hometown town.

His was the only serious clothing store in their town, so it was conceivable that this guy had made a lot of money in the past.

In particular, his personality is outgoing, cheerful, and enthusiastic. After all, the clothes he has worn over the years are not for nothing, so this guy's eloquence has also been honed.

In fact, if it hadn't been for the subsequent turmoil, Wang Chenglin would still be his little rich man in the small rural town in his hometown.

My wife and children are on the hot bed~ It’s hard to be too comfortable in my childhood.

But ~ because of a man, the happy life of Wang Chenglin's family came to an abrupt end.

Don't get me wrong~ It's not some messy thing, this man is Wang Chenglin's brother-in-law, his wife's brother.

Wang Chenglin's brother-in-law is called Wang Danian.

This guy didn't read much. He just idled around the town all day and relied on his family to support him.

But, the town where Wang Danian came from was too small. As time went by, Wang Danian found it uninteresting.

So ~ after a certain fight, Wang Danian told his sister and brother-in-law who had just taken him out of the police station that he wanted to change his past and change his mind. He planned to go to the outside world to have a try.

Regarding Wang Danian's idea, Wang Chenglin and his wife naturally supported it with both hands.

In fact, the couple had long thought that something would happen to Wang Danian sooner or later if he continued to live like this. However, the Wang family was such a single person. In the past, Wang Danian had been a fool, and the family could not do anything to him.

This time Wang Danian took the initiative to say that he wanted to correct his evil ways, and naturally the Wang family and Wang Chenglin would not object.

So~ Wang Danian decided to go out to work and join one of his friends who was said to be doing very well.

Naturally, the Wang family and Wang Chenglin had considered Wang Danian's candidate for defection.

After learning that the other party worked as a manager in a company in a provincial capital city, the Wang family and Wang Chenglin agreed to Wang Danian going out to work.

To be honest, Wang Danian is indeed very popular in the Wang family. After all, he has five sisters, so when this guy goes out, he even carries more than three thousand yuan.

That was in 1997~ Who went out to work and carried so much money with them?

This shows how much Wang Danian is favored at home.

Finally, Wang Danian found his friend and went to work "smoothly".

Originally, this matter should have come to an end at this point. After all, Wang Danian should have turned around and started working hard to make money.

But a month and a half later, a phone call came to Wang Chenglin's home.

Wang Danian said on the phone that he had been promoted and had become a supervisor. Before Wang Chenglin and his wife could be happy, Wang Danian revealed the purpose of his call.

Invite his sister and brother-in-law to make a fortune!

It is said that Wang Danian found an opportunity there to make a fortune. If he does it well, he can easily make hundreds of thousands in a year.

At first, Wang Chenglin didn't believe it. Not only did he not believe it, but his wife actually didn't believe it either.

After all, they all know what kind of character Wang Danian was before. Even if the prodigal son returns now, it is absolutely nonsense to say that Wang Danian can be involved in a business worth hundreds of thousands a year in just one and a half months.

You must know that Wang Chenglin's clothing store is considered a "monopoly" industry in their town, but it can only make tens of thousands of yuan a year.

Now Wang Danian says that he has a business that can easily earn hundreds of thousands a year. Only if they can believe it can they be fooled.

And just when Wang Chenglin and his wife expressed doubts, Wang Danian complained angrily to his sister and brother-in-law. It was just that he thought about his sister and brother-in-law~ and wanted to repay them, but in the end they missed him so much. This is really true.

It made him a little sad.

However, it was sad that Wang Chenglin and his wife were not fooled. After all, where can such good things happen in the world?

So Wang Danian sent out an invitation, and he planned to let his sister and brother-in-law go to his place of work to take a look.

Wang Danian made it very clear on the phone that as long as my sister and brother-in-law go to see it, they will understand whether this business can make money.

Wang Chenglin is actually very smart, but his knowledge is too little.

After all, in his entire life, except for the occasional trip to the wholesale market in the city to purchase goods, he had never left his hometown town.

I don’t know how Wang Danian persuaded him, but in the end, Wang Chenglin and his wife decided to go and have a look.

Let's not talk about how the business is going, just treat it as a visit to see my brother and brother-in-law.

So~ the two of them set out for the city where Wang Danian was located, but once they left, they couldn't go back.

Wang Chenglin and his wife finally chose to join the so-called "business" and did not hesitate to transfer their family's clothing store.

But it's a pity~ With an official document last year, Wang Chenglin and his wife became completely destitute!

Not only that, but he also offended a large number of relatives, friends, and fellow villagers.

There is no way ~ Although there are some tragedies, life still has to go on.

Finally, after this year's Spring Festival, Wang Chenglin's wife took care of the children at home and went to school, while he had no choice but to go out to work to make money to support the family.

At first, Wang Chenglin wanted to go to Guangdong Province to work in a factory as a worker.

But his brother-in-law Wang Danian, who had the same experience as him, wanted to come to Yanjing to try his luck. He would definitely not be able to stay in his hometown anyway, so in the end Wang Chenglin had to follow his brother-in-law to Yanjing.

But Yanjing~ is so easy to mess with.

Wang Chenglin and Wang Danian had neither academic qualifications nor work experience. Wang Chenglin had been selling clothes for many years, but people in Yanjing only hired young girls to sell clothes.

Just when Wang Chenglin was thinking about finding a sales job, he happened to see Ideal Fried Chicken’s recruitment notice for training instructors.

As for the position of training instructor, due to the nature of the job, Chen Li's requirement was that he would be interviewed in person after the preliminary selection.

As a result, during this interview, Chen Li knew what Wang Chenglin had done before based on his movements.

Without saying a word~ Chen Li took the decision directly, and now he is the training instructor of Ideal Fried Chicken.

Wang Chenglin!
