The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 347 Construction site completed

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai agreed, He Daqing took Li Hong back to his hometown the next day and brought him over to meet with the elder.

He Daqing had already told him the woman's conditions before, and the first man after meeting her was very satisfied. The only ones who were hesitant were the four children in the woman's family.

It's okay to say one or two, but four children were brought here and his family didn't even have a place to live.

Finally, after discussion, the older children were allowed to stay in the village and the elders paid for their care, and the youngest son was brought over to live with them.

The old man thought about it and had no choice but to do this. Anyway, it was only a few dozen yuan per month, which was not a lot of money for him.

So within a few days, news came out in the compound that the first gentleman was getting married, and the other party was a widow in her thirties.

This shocked the people in the compound. They didn't expect that the elder, at this age, would still have such thoughts.

The main reason is that the persona I presented to everyone before was too good. The eldest mother couldn't have children. Even with such a big problem, the aunt didn't choose to divorce her. He never left her for decades.

Why did he end up doing something like this again? People in the compound didn't quite understand what the First Master did.

But they couldn't change their minds. The first man still married Li Mei. The two of them didn't hold any wedding ceremony. They just went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate, and then handed out a circle of wedding candies in the courtyard.

The only thing that changed was that there were two more people in the compound. Li Mei moved her five-year-old son into the compound, which gave the neighbors in the compound something to talk about.

But this has no impact on Yan Jiecheng, and he doesn't pay much attention to the first man's finding a new wife.

He still rushes between two o'clock and one line every day, going to restaurants and construction sites in the morning, reading at home in the afternoon, and going to night school in the evening.

……………

In this way, time came to the end of the year unknowingly, and the project also came to an end.

"Boss Yan, how are you? Are you satisfied with the progress?" Master Wang pointed at the decorated three-story building in front of him and said to Yan Jiecheng who was standing aside.

The tone he said was full of pride. After all, it only took more than five months to construct and decorate such a large building, and this was because it was the first time they built a building of this shape. If they could do it again, they would definitely be able to do it again.

Faster.

After hearing what Master Wang said and looking at the workers who were dismantling the scaffolding in front of him, Yan Jiecheng nodded.

"Master Wang, clean up the construction site today, and I'll come over tomorrow to give you the final payment."

"Don't worry, even if we work until midnight, we will finish the work today and we will definitely not hold you back." After hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Master Wang patted his chest and promised.

"Okay, let the workers pay attention to their safety. I'll go back if nothing happens."

Master Wang laughed. Although he had dealt with them several times and knew that Yan Jiecheng would not lose their money, he couldn't help but be happy when he heard the exact time. So he said:

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you as long as I'm here to keep an eye on you."

After seeing this, Yan Jiecheng gave you a few words of advice and then rode his bicycle home.

The house has been decorated, and the next step is to move the furniture in and then put it into use.

During the renovation period, other things were not delayed. The fried chicken restaurant business has been divided into 26 of the 34 provincial agents across the country.

Boss Huang, the two who were the first agents of fried chicken restaurants, have also developed several franchise stores. Basically, they are relatives and friends. It is estimated that the total number of franchise stores will reach about 100 by the end of the year.

Although the franchise fee for one hundred franchise stores is only more than RMB 100,000 per year, Yan Jiecheng believes that this is just the beginning. There are more than 2,000 county-level administrative districts in the country. Even if there is only one store in each county, there are more than 2,000.

What's more, there are large cities like Beijing and Shanghai.

Yan Jiecheng's goal is to develop "Old Yan Fried Chicken Burger" into a chain brand with more than 3,000 franchise stores by 1985.

In this way, the annual franchise fee alone will exceed 5 million.

But the most important thing now is to find a manager for the main store. When building a house, Yan Jiecheng rented a store elsewhere and asked Yan Jie and his wife to move there.

This leaves no one to manage the new store when it opens. Fortunately, a few waiters can be transferred from other stores, but the person in charge must know everything.

Yan Jiecheng thought for a long time and felt that it would be appropriate to let Yu Li come over to manage the head office.

As for the hotel, if it doesn't work, let Heizi take charge and promote a waiter to be the lobby manager.

As long as the kitchen and the front desk are not connected in series, there is no way to make false accounts. After all, the kitchen knows how many dishes are produced in the store every day. By calculating the menu, he can know the day's turnover. As long as he gets off work every day

Just go and collect the money once.

So when Yu Li came back in the evening, Yan Jiecheng said what was in his heart.

"What, you want me to be the manager of a fried chicken restaurant? What about the hotel? I don't trust the hotel to others." Yu Li said excitedly as soon as she heard Yan Jiecheng's words.

After all, their family's main income now comes from restaurants, and the fried chicken restaurant is just a small business in Yuli's eyes.

Compared with fried chicken restaurants, the income from restaurants is truly huge, otherwise their family would not have been able to build such a good fried chicken restaurant.

Seeing that Yu Li disagreed, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to patiently persuade her.

The reason why their restaurant's business is so good is just a time lag. After all, not many restaurants opened at this time, especially restaurants as big as theirs, and the service in state-owned hotels is not good.

However, with the continuous development of reform and opening up, more and more restaurants will open in the future, and their business will not always be so profitable, especially when the number of foreigners decreases.

A large part of his hotel's income comes from the current foreign exchange system. If he cannot receive foreign exchange, his income will not be very high, with a net profit of only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per month.

But fried chicken restaurants are different. The main income comes from franchise stores and agents. The purpose of the main store is not to make a lot of money every day. It is mainly used as a storefront and to train employees for franchise stores.

Yan Jiecheng has thought about it. Next year, he will not forget to rent out the three-in-one courtyard house, clean it up, and use it as a dormitory for the franchise store employees who come to the head office in Beijing for training.

Anyway, he doesn't receive much rent in a year, so this money is dispensable to him. The reason why he rented it out in the first place was to make the yard popular.

"Then who should I leave the hotel to? Heizi spends all day in the kitchen and is not familiar with hotel management. I don't have to worry about leaving it to him, but I'm afraid he won't be able to manage it well."

Yu Li was relieved after hearing Yan Jiecheng's explanation, but she still had opinions about who should manage the hotel.

"The back kitchen is separated from the front desk. Let Heizi manage the back kitchen, and then select someone from among the waiters to serve as the lobby manager.

As for the candidates, who do you think is suitable, Li Nan or Zheng Hua? They are both old employees of the store and started working with us last year. There should be no problems with their character and ability." Yan Jiecheng thought for a while and said.

"Then let Li Nan be the lobby manager. As for Zheng Hua, why don't you let her go to the fried chicken main store with me?"

Yu Li felt that in the restaurant where the two of them came together, one was now a manager and the other was an employee. She must be unhappy, so it would be better to transfer her away, which would make it easier for Li Nan to manage.

"Okay, in this case, you can also arrange a management position for Zheng Hua and let her be the foreman at the fried chicken main store."

Yan Jiecheng thought that the main store has three floors, each floor is more than 350 square meters, and there will be five or six waiters on each floor. It will definitely not be possible to manage it by one person.

We have to arrange a foreman on each floor and buy an intercom device so that we don’t have to run back and forth for anything.

By the way, there is also a phone. The store also needs to install a phone. Now private people can ring the phone. The second uncle installed one when he was doing business, but since the business went down, the phone has been abandoned. After all, at this time

Making phone calls is expensive.

Generally, even if some people have telephones installed in their homes, they are locked in a cabinet for fear of being misused by children at home.

There are also computers and printers that need to be purchased. If you want to buy them, buy them all at once.

Just in August this year, lbm launched the pc5150 personal computer. Yan Jiecheng planned to buy two of them and put them in the main store. Whether they are used or not, they must be full.

If it weren't for the paging station, Yan Jiecheng would even want to buy a bp machine.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but when will your new head office open? Have all the equipment inside been installed?"

"Not yet. The decoration was just completed today. We will start installing equipment and furniture tomorrow. It should be almost ready in two or three days. We will try to open on Saturday." After hearing Yu Li's words, Yan Jiecheng came back from his thoughts and said.

"Is the time urgent?"

"You're here in a hurry. Just transfer a few people from Xie Dian and Haitang's store. You don't have to worry about this. I will arrange it. Go to bed quickly."

………

Early the next morning.

After Yan Jiecheng got up, he first went to the furniture factory and asked them to arrange for the custom-made furniture, tables and chairs to be transported to the store.

Then he went to Yu Haitang and Yan Jie's house, and asked them to second some workers so that they could go to the main store to work on Saturdays.

After arranging everything, Yan Jiecheng went to Zuojiazhuang again, talked to the old team leader, and recruited several young men in the village.

Let them work as security guards in the main store. After all, how can such a big store do without a security guard? There were only a few people in the store before, and there were nothing of value in the store.

But it's different now. Not to mention the equipment inside, the outer layer of tempered glass alone cost more than 100,000 yuan. It would have to be broken into pieces, and Yan Jiecheng was still heartbroken.

Counting two security guards on each floor, there are only six people in total.

It would be better to hire fewer waiters. If there are people sent by the branch to receive training, they will not be used in vain. Anyway, Yan Jiecheng does not need to pay additional wages.
