On December 31, the last day of 1998, the Kimborough fast food restaurant finally ushered in its first large-scale expansion.

On this day, seven branches in addition to the main store opened at the same time, unveiling the first chapter of the chain restaurant industry in Beitong City.

In fact, according to the original plan, these seven stores were opened before New Year's Day. Because no matter how fast they try, there are some things that can't be done all at once. For example, the lacquered tables and chairs, such as the set of doors and windows, the training of waiters, and the entry of various equipment, all these things take time, and some of them cannot be accelerated at all.

But I have to say that Zhou Fangyuan was lucky.

In addition to the three franchise stores with multiple franchises, the owners of the remaining four franchise stores actually obtained the necessary equipment through their own relationship channels. Of course, the equipment money, including the decoration money, is paid by themselves, and the head office only provides guidance.

According to Tian Rucheng, they don't want to see the day of making money getting closer and closer but still need to wait, so these people have their own powers, and they actually forced the store that originally took more than a month to complete the renovation to be completed before New Year's Day.

And the other three franchise stores with multiple franchises are by the way to follow the relationship between the four of them, spend more money, and get what they need. As a result, on December 31st, seven stores opened at the same time!

In order to make the scene more grand, the Zhou family spent a lot of money and booked the page of the Beitong Evening News for half a month in advance to advertise themselves. Beitong TV also made an advertisement, and it was prime time, although it was only a few seconds, but it drew hundreds of thousands of Zhou's family. There is also the bus body advertising, at this time the bus in Beitong does not have a body advertisement, Zhou room they not only have to spend advertising money, but also to the bus company to make up a compensation fee for the destruction of the car body.

After Zhou Fangyuan heard this fee, he couldn't wait to spit in the face of the leader of the bus company on the spot.

It's really shameless enough, and I don't look at what the buses of the bus company have become, the patent leather on the surface of the car body is seriously peeling, not to mention, the body is crawling with all kinds of stains, it may be too much to say that it is unsightly, but to say that this car is a scrapped car, I am afraid that some people will still believe it.

But he couldn't say anything, first of all, people didn't ask for them. It was not until the turn of the millennium that the bus company in Beitong City was separated from the Highway Bureau and became a separate company. Now the bus company is not actually called by this name, but is called the bus department, which is a government department.

They have government funding, and there is no pressure to generate income, and the money they handed over can't go into the pockets of the leaders of the bus department, so they don't care about this matter at all. In fact, Zhou Fangyuan and the others also said a lot of good things, and they also found some connections to get this thing done. If people want to pay for car body maintenance, then they can only give it, unless they don't want to advertise.

But after spending so much effort, spending money and favors, but in the end there is no advertising, and the loss here may be even greater.

Therefore, the three members of the Zhou family could only smash their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and they had no choice but to hand over all the money. Zhou Fangyuan began to miss the era of the highly developed Internet in the future, and before he was reborn, how could advertising be so complicated.

First of all, there was the Internet at that time, as long as you were willing to spend money, the Internet directly pushed the whole network without any problem, and you could let the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of netizens know at once, and the efficiency was many times higher than that of newspapers and car body advertisements.

Secondly, even if it is a ground push, there are street lamp advertisements, there are station advertisements, and even at that time, it will be very simple to do car body advertising. Because at that time, all the bus companies have become private companies, not even state-owned enterprises, at most private companies with better treatment, anyway, Beitong is like this here. When the time comes, everything depends on money, as long as there is money, everything can be said, so why bother like now? If you want to spend money on doing things, you have to ask your grandfather to sue your grandmother, and sometimes you may not be able to really get things done.

There are other such as TV commercials, newspaper advertisements, flyers, posters, etc., there are too many ways to advertise, and even send a message on WeChat Moments, which is a small advertisement, or post a post on Weibo, or post it, there are too many ways, as long as you are famous, as long as you have enough influence, these advertisements are not a matter of one sentence?

But these things are hard to achieve these days.

So Zhou Fangyuan began to miss WeChat and Weibo.

With this, he thought of the companies behind these two Internet products.

Tengxun, as well as Xinlang, are among the largest companies in China, and together with other Internet companies, they have jointly carved up the country of Huaxia Internet. However, these companies are still in their infancy, and some companies have not even started yet, so what if they can take shares, control them, or even own them directly?

Zhou Fangyuan read a lot of rebirth novels before he was reborn, and the protagonists in them would always be powerful when they returned to the past. Punching Teng Xun, kicking Ali, a fart sitting on the net and adding Xinlang plus all other Internet companies. I have to say that such a book looks very cool, but in fact it is not that simple.

These future Internet giants will be able to grow up from small companies little by little, stand out from countless competitors, and finally stand out from the crowd. In this process, the right time, place and people are indispensable, and more importantly, their leaders, each of them is a dragon and phoenix among people, and each of them is a real master. These people can develop and grow the company from the tragic "war", not all by luck, but by strength, vision, and the ability to strategize.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for an ordinary person to punch this and kick that after being reborn. If everything is really that simple, then why did this reborn do nothing in their previous life? Why can't they go to heaven if they are so awesome?

In the final analysis, the failure of the previous life still proves that these people themselves have great shortcomings. These deficiencies will not disappear completely because they are reborn once, even if they can take advantage of the prophet and suppress these big bulls for a short time, unless they are knocked to death with a hammer, as long as they are given a little respite, they are very likely to make a comeback.

Therefore, Zhou Fangyuan never imagined that he could be like the predecessors of the other rebirth realms, and he would breathe wind and rain as soon as he was reborn. He knows exactly how much he's capable of and what he can do. Therefore, he has to study the one hand, to meet the expectations of his parents, and on the other hand, to strengthen himself. Looking at those successful people, whether they have a superior family background or a golden spoon in their mouths or a self-made family from the grassroots, without exception, these people have good knowledge, even if the original knowledge is average, after the success of luck, they will continue to enrich and arm themselves, so that they become stronger and stronger.

Because you're not strong enough, you'll be killed by a punch from your enemy.

With such a thought in his heart, Zhou Fangyuan will study hard, he doesn't want to become the strongest, but he also doesn't want to become the weakest, he has the ability to be a prophet, this is his biggest advantage. But he doesn't have a skill, which is his biggest disadvantage. He now has to redeem his disadvantage, fill himself with skills, load up with ammunition, and when needed, he can have the strength to fight.

The gossip is far away.

In short, Zhou Fangyuan thought of future Internet giants such as Tengxun, and began to recall their growth paths.

In fact, he didn't remember much, after all, he hadn't really studied these companies, he had only seen about their growth from various novels and sporadic news on the Internet. But you can't really make the things in the novels, after all, the authors of those novels may not really know it. And the things on the Internet, to be honest, are some true and some false, and if you are not an insider, I am afraid it is really difficult to figure out all of them. Ordinary people don't do anything every day, just pay attention to the news of these companies?

He only knew that Tengxun was the most difficult time in 99, and if he wanted to buy shares, he could only seize this opportunity. Otherwise, once the other party starts to take off, his little arms and legs really can't hold the other party's wings.

Ali was also created around this year, and the first days were not easy.

The same is true for other large companies, and the millennium is a general dividing line, after which these future Internet giants will continue to take off. In other words, if you want to take the opportunity to take a piece of the pie, next year, 1999, will be the best opportunity.

If you miss it, you may never have a chance again.

It's not that there won't be new Internet companies rising in the future, but compared with these super bulls, latecomers will undoubtedly be constrained in all aspects. is either suppressed or acquired, and he can only be a little brother to others, quite a big guy, and basically has no chance.

Unless it can be reshuffled, but is it a joke to shuffle the cards? A big market involving trillions of dollars is reshuffled? Not to mention that the industry does not allow it, even the state will not allow it. Therefore, the latecomers are faced with all kinds of innate constraints, and they are far less free than these forerunners.

So to achieve these goals, Zhou Fangyuan needs a lot of money, a lot of money.

This is also the reason why he wants his parents to fully advertise in Beitong, and his eyes are not in Beitong. Let's put it this way, no matter how big the market of Beitong is, that's it, his eyes have been set on the national market. He wants to use Beitong's advertisements to radiate the surrounding cities, and then influence the whole province and even the whole country.

As long as you can make a name for yourself, you won't have to worry about having no franchisees, and as long as you have franchisees, you will continue to have funds back. Relying on these funds, you can take the opportunity to take these fast buses. As long as you can sit on it, to put it mildly, you will continue to sell your seat in the future, and the money you earn will not be able to spend it in your lifetime.

Of course, Zhou Fangyuan's ambition is not just as simple as being a rice worm, but if he doesn't grasp such a good opportunity, he will really be ashamed of his chance to be reborn, and he can't forgive himself.

Thinking about his own affairs in his heart, Zhou Fangyuan followed his parents back to the store, the firecrackers were all ready, and after the appointed time, including the head office, the eight stores celebrated together!
