In the evening, Zhang Guilan specially went home early, bought a lot of vegetables from the vegetable market, and planned to cook a table of delicious food for Li Feng.

After returning home, Zhang Guilan was busy for today's dinner, since running the Internet café, the two of them basically eat together in the Internet café, and rarely have the opportunity to go home to cook a meal, taking advantage of the opportunity of Li Feng's return, Zhang Guilan can finally go home and eat a meal steadily.

The home is still the same, but it lacks a little popularity, and the two of them don't come home until late every day, and this house seems to only have the function of sleeping.

Li Feng took a turn at home, the goldfish raised on the balcony had died, and even the cactus had shown signs of withering, it seemed that his father and mother had not taken good care of them at home for a long time.

Starting a business is indeed a very hard thing, now my mother has to manage the Internet café, my father has to run a chain company, both of them have a lot of work, and there are almost no days off, every day to open their eyes is work.

After all, such a life is not a long-term solution, and there is no quality of life. Therefore, Li Feng plans to take over all the business on hand of his parents in the future after his career is further successful, and appoint special personnel to take care of it, so that his parents can live a peaceful and prosperous life.

It didn't take long for Li Wanmin to return.

During this time, Li Wanmin has been busy, and he looks a lot darker, but his mental state is much better than before.

"Feng Feng, you're back. Li Wanmin was very happy to see his son come home.

"Dad, my mother and I have bought the house today. Li Feng said, "Next, let your company's decoration team help decorate it, and strive to move into the new house as soon as possible." ”

Li Wanmin sat down and took a sip of tea: "What, buying a house is not buying cabbage, so anxious." ”

"Isn't that unavailable? Zhang Guilan complained while stir-frying in the kitchen.

"Okay, I will definitely rest assured that you have bought the house. Li Wanmin said, "The decoration team is now decorating the stores of the two franchisees, and when they are free, they will design and decorate the new house." ”

The aroma in the kitchen came in bursts, and he hadn't eaten his mother's home-cooked food for a long time, which made Li Feng's appetite great.

"Dad, I heard that your franchise company is doing very well, and now there are several franchisees. Li Feng asked.

"There are two that are currently under construction and renovation, and the next three have already signed contracts. Li Wanmin said proudly, "In just over a month, five companies have been completed, and the scale may reach 100 in a year." ”

Li Wanmin's statement is actually unscientific, after all, the number of Internet cafes cannot grow indefinitely, especially in a small city like Xianhu City, where Internet cafes are easily saturated.

Therefore, if the business only stays local, the possibility of 100 stores a year is not large, and after a year, when the market is completely saturated, new Internet cafes will not be opened, and the performance will not be able to continue to grow.

However, Li Feng did not intend to hit his father's self-confidence, and said: "It seems that the momentum of chain franchise is quite good, I think that when the business volume reaches a certain scale, it can reach a strategic cooperation with a large decoration company, and outsource the overall decoration business of the Internet café to a large decoration company, saving a lot of management energy." ”

Li Wanmin nodded: "I think so too, at present, our own decoration team, although the number is not large, but the management is still quite difficult, and can only cope with the business volume of two or three decoration at the same time, if the business volume rises next, my own decoration team may not be able to cope with it, and it is bound to cooperate with the decoration company." However, after our company begins to take shape, there is a large enough business volume, and the large decoration company is willing to cooperate. ”

The biggest difficulty of the franchise company is the business volume of Internet café decoration.

This business volume is very uncertain, it may be a lot for a period of time, or it may be a period of time when there is nothing to do, if the company has a large decoration team, it is obviously unrealistic.

However, if only a small-scale decoration team is hired, a few sporadic people are simply not enough to cope with the huge decoration workload, so in-depth cooperation with large decoration companies is an inevitable trend.

Li Wanmin also knows that the current state cannot last, but the current company's information is not enough, and it will be in a weak position in cooperation with large decoration companies, so he is still waiting for the opportunity, and when the company has a certain scale, has the first batch of franchisees, and at the same time, the brand effect has initially appeared, and it has become a well-known Internet café chain brand in Xianhu City, things will be much easier.

"It's also that if you want to talk about cooperation, you have to have a certain scale, so the current start-up stage must be passed smoothly and smoothly. Li Feng said, "Dad, I suggest that during this period of time, you should not be radical in recruiting franchisees, but in the case of your own company can digest it, gradually recruit in batches, so that your small decoration team can also cope with it, and at the same time, there will be no particularly busy or idle periods, to ensure that the workload of the decoration team has remained stable." ”

Li Wanmin nodded: "This is indeed a good way, moderate control, and recruitment in batches." With the current work efficiency of the decoration team, basically all the decoration work of the two Internet cafes can be completed in one month, and more than 20 can be completed in a year. It is quite difficult to meet the expectations of a hundred. ”

"Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with large decoration companies as soon as possible, and outsource part of the business while maintaining its own decoration team. Li Feng said, "After two or three months, after the first batch of Internet cafes to join the steady operation, the company's model has achieved initial success, and at that time, you can consider negotiating with the decoration company." My advice is to find two or three stable partners, preferably cross-regional renovation companies, to lay the foundation for the future out of Xianhu City. ”

It is impossible for Li Wanmin's franchise company to always conduct business in the small city of Xianhu, which is a small third-tier city after all, with a small population, and the overall demand for Internet cafes in the urban area will not be too large, and the cake left for the franchise company will not be too big.

In order to ensure the quality of the brand, the current franchise company is not suitable to promote the franchise business to the towns and rural areas, after all, the quality of the franchisees there is relatively low-end, which may drag down the signboard of the "Paradise Internet Cafe" and cause the decline of brand reputation.

Therefore, in the future, the direction of the franchise company's business expansion is to focus on the urban areas of the surrounding cities, especially the first-tier and second-tier cities, which not only have huge potential business volume, but also are very beneficial to cultivating brands.

The two were discussing, and the fragrant home-cooked dishes had been served.
