Chapter 142 Building a chain of Internet cafes
The daily traffic of the Internet café in the park is huge, and a rough estimate shows that more than 100 people come here to surf the Internet.
As long as the customers who come to the Internet use the Galaxy Browser, I believe they will be impressed by this browser, and then recommend it among their friends.
After Li Feng finished installing the Galaxy Browser, he saw Li Wanmin walk into the Internet café.
Early this morning, Li Wanmin received a notice from the factory, so he hurried there, presumably because the Second Machinery Factory was about to enter the restructuring. Although the vast majority of workers in the factory hope that the restructuring of the factory will not be so fast, Li Wanmin hopes that the factory will be restructured as soon as possible. After all, after the restructuring, you can receive a lot of compensation, and at the same time, you can also receive the basic life every month, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat.
It seems that the restructuring work is proceeding very quickly, and looking at Li Wanmin's relaxed and lively expression, it seems that the situation is good.
Zhang Guilan also walked out of the warehouse, she is also very concerned about the restructuring of the second machinery factory, after all, her Xianhu Woolen Mill restructuring is going badly, and now because of the embezzlement of state-owned assets, further liquidation is still underway, and the amount of additional subsidies to be issued has not yet been determined.
"Guilan, today's factory restructuring measures have finally come down, in the morning held a worker resettlement plan to solicit opinions, the factory intends to start from January 1 next year, the whole factory more than 800 workers will be laid off in batches, I have signed up for the first batch of laid-off workers in the factory. Li Wanmin took out the documents issued by the factory and said, "As soon as I signed a letter of intent with the factory, the factory immediately sent two months' wage subsidies, totaling 3,200 yuan." ”
Li Wanmin said, and took out another bulging envelope bag.
After all, the first batch of workers who enthusiastically signed up was a minority, and now everyone is basically holding a wait-and-see attitude. The factory is also to encourage everyone to sign up voluntarily, so the subsidy is unambiguous.
"That's right, counting the 3,000 yuan of entrepreneurial funds subsidized before, plus your salary, you will get a small 10,000 yuan during this time. Zhang Guilan looked at the worker placement documents in the factory and said happily, "It's still your second machinery factory that has a little human touch, and the subsidies given are fair, but I didn't expect our family to get rid of poverty and become rich so quickly." ”
"With the experience of your woolen mills, how dare they fool around again. Li Wanmin said with a smile.
It is said that the restructuring of the Second Machinery Factory was indeed done more properly, and the workers were generally satisfied, and there was no chaos.
On the one hand, it is because of the previous restructuring of state-owned enterprises, which has accumulated a lot of experience. On the other hand, Chen Huaiguang was promoted to deputy mayor at that time and was no longer in charge of the restructuring of state-owned enterprises.
Therefore, Li Feng's family received a certain amount of compensation because of this restructuring, so that they could barely continue to live a small life, otherwise, the whole family would really have to drink the northwest wind.
Now, due to Chen Huaiguang's dismissal, the embezzlement of state-owned assets of the Xianhu Woolen Mill was brought out, so the city is naturally careful and careful about the restructuring of the second machinery factory, and sent the discipline inspection and supervision department to supervise the whole process to ensure that similar problems do not occur again.
Therefore, in the protection of the state-owned assets of the No. 2 Machinery Factory, the relevant departments of Xianhu City have done a relatively good job, and have also improved a large number of procedures, so that the compensation received by the laid-off workers has also been increased accordingly.
"With this money, we already have more money, and I want to expand our Internet café and upgrade it. Li Wanmin got the money, his thoughts were also lively, he moved a stool and sat on the side of the bar and said, "On the one hand, the number of computers in our park Internet café should be further increased, and according to the business area, we can add 20 more computers." On the other hand, our service needs to be upgraded. ”
When Li Feng heard this, he became interested, this time his father actually took the lead in proposing to upgrade the Internet café, which is really rare.
This father has always been conservative, only willing to guard his own one-third of an acre, it seems that during this period of time, under the touch of his son, he also has the consciousness of taking the step of entrepreneurship.
This made Li Feng feel very gratified, after all, he was always alone, and many times he would be overwhelmed, and one more person would come up with ideas to find a way, which would reduce a lot of pressure.
"Hey, I just took a few thousand dollars, and I'm bragging right here. Zhang Guilan glanced at Li Wanmin, what good ideas could this idiot goose come up with, "Tell me, how to upgrade the service of our Internet café?"
Li Feng also didn't say anything on the side, wanting to hear what good ideas his father could come up with.
"I think it's two-fold. Li Wanmin took out a yellow notebook from his pocket, flipped through it and said, "On the one hand, the whole line of drinks is upgraded, and I think we can add more tea, juice and other varieties to enrich our beverage line, and at the same time further increase profits." On the other hand, in order to enliven the atmosphere of the Internet café, we can also organize some activities in the Internet café, such as game competitions, netizen meet-ups, etc. ”
Zhang Guilan had no expression on his face, showing a completely unexpected indifference: "Wanmin, I still have a sudden enlightenment, these are just clichés, I will also mention them, and I actually take a notebook, looking like I am concerned, isn't it funny?"
Li Wanmin was still smug there, but he didn't expect to be poured down by Zhang Guilan with a basin of cold water, which was really bright and cold, and suddenly wilted.
Dad's entrepreneurial enthusiasm that was finally aroused couldn't be extinguished like this, and Li Feng, who was listening on the side, spoke: "Mom, don't say that, Dad's idea is actually very good, and there are many articles to do." If the upgrade is successful, we will have a new breakthrough. ”
"Oh?" Li Wanmin saw that his idea had been affirmed by Li Feng, and his face suddenly became energetic.
And Zhang Guilan also knew that his son was very thoughtful, and since his son had spoken, he must have thought of a better idea.
"What a new breakthrough, Feng Feng, you can talk about it. Zhang Guilan said.
"This breakthrough is four words: chain management. Li Feng paused word by word.
"Chain operation?" Li Wanmin and Zhang Guilan said in unison.
The concept of chain operation was not very popular at the beginning of the 21st century, especially in a small third-tier city like Xianhu City, whether it was doing catering, retail or opening an Internet café, they did not think of the huge benefits brought by the franchise model.
Most of the businesses that operate shops on the street are buried in their own one-third of an acre of land, guarding the small profits of tens or hundreds of dollars a day, and they have not expanded in the direction of upgrading their business models, and they have missed the great opportunity to upgrade their business models.
"The meaning of chain management is that we can open the second store, the third store and even the N store of the Internet café in the park. Li Feng explained, "We formulate design standards for Internet cafes, provide relevant technical support, and open up franchise channels. Franchisees get the chain signboard and technical support of our park Internet café to solve the venue and operation problems by themselves. We charge a franchise fee and an annual technical support fee according to the actual situation. ”
"I've never heard of the chain business model. Li Wanmin looked confused, and Zhang Guilan was not much better.
Li Feng was a little speechless: "Don't talk about it, you always know KFC, it relies on the chain business model to open their restaurants all over the world." ”
At the mention of KFC, the two seemed to suddenly realize.
"Feng Feng, I probably understand what you said. Li Wanmin said, "This is several grades higher than my original idea, can we do a chain Internet café?"
"Yes, of course. However, to be a chain Internet café, on the one hand, our own Internet café must be operated well, and even form a brand effect, so that people know that our paradise Internet café is a high-end Internet café that represents comfort and high quality. Li Feng continued, "On the other hand, we must have a standard that can be used, that is, we must provide franchisees with a complete set of Internet café construction and operation solutions." ”
"It's very difficult to set standards. Zhang Guilan said, "The construction of an Internet café requires a series of work from overall decoration to equipment procurement and network commissioning, and it is far from enough for a few of us." ”
"Of course, we alone are not enough, when the time comes, we will formally form a company, from simply operating Internet cafes to exporting Internet café construction standards and obtaining franchisees. Li Feng said.
"Well, this is a good direction, our Internet café has been operating steadily for a period of time now, and has accumulated a little experience, if you can't go further, then you can only look at this stall, and the prospect of growth will end here." Zhang Guilan also agreed with Li Feng's idea, after all, watching the Internet café for many years is actually quite boring.
If they can move from being simple Internet café managers to Internet café chain operators, in the future, Li Wanmin and Zhang Guilan will be able to get rid of the cumbersome daily management of Internet cafes, and as long as they lead a team under them, they will not only be able to run the Internet cafes in the paradise well, but also be able to output standards and manage a large number of franchised Internet cafes.
As long as they reach this step, the two of them will achieve the freedom of time, and they don't have to bury their heads in Internet cafes all day long, and even go out to buy groceries and have to change shifts.
Thinking of these benefits, Li Wanmin and Zhang Guilan's enthusiasm suddenly increased.
"Dad, without further ado, your Internet café upgrade plan will start right away. Li Feng encouraged.
"Good. Li Wanmin was very excited to see his son so supportive, and it was rare for him to take the initiative to think about it, and finally took the idea into account.
