The next day, Xu Yiyang and Zhang Chong set off early in the morning and headed for Penang, which is next to each other in the western part of Yingzhou.

Weizhou and Penang are the first expansion targets that Xu Yiyang chose for Jiayang Education.

These two cities are sandwiched between Yingzhou, which is the closest and the transportation is more convenient.

And what Xu Yiyang values more is the next extension of these two cities.

Weizhou continues to the east, which is Qingdao;

Further west of Penang is Springs.

At present, Qilu's GDP ranks first in Qingdao, and the second is Quancheng.

Therefore, these two cities are the top priority of the education industry in the province.

To do the physical industry, unlike the Internet industry, the latter said today that if a product is launched, as long as it is launched here, even if it is on the other side of the world, you can start downloading and using it immediately.

If Xu Yiyang now directly skips Weizhou and Penang and marches to Quancheng and Qingdao, then it will take him two or three hours to drive from Yingzhou to these two cities each way.

Whatever is going on, it's not enough to run back and forth in a day, and now I'm still in class, so I can't run at all.

Therefore, it is still necessary to take one step at a time, steadily advancing to the east and west sides city by city.

With the experience of Weizhou, after Xu Yiyang arrived in Penang, he directly skipped places like the Children's Palace, and also skipped the rental of houses, and directly looked for newly opened real estate.

Although Penang is a little closer to Quancheng, the housing prices are a little lower than Yingzhou, and even worse than Weizhou.

Xu Yiyang took a look, the commercial house is about five or six hundred square meters, and the price of the second-floor shop is only one thousand three or four.

Xu Yiyang looked for a long time and fell in love with a set of two- and three-story double-storey shops.

This shop has an independent stairwell on the first floor, the stairwell is not included in the area, the total area of the second and third floors is 576 square meters, and the unit price is 1580 yuan.

576 square meters, although it is a little smaller than Xu Yiyang wants, but if it is used reasonably, it is not a problem.

The developer in Penang does not have an installment policy, but Xu Yiyang negotiated a 92% discount, and the whole set only needs 70,000 yuan.

Like the one in Weizhou, this set of shops is not decorated as a whole, just white walls and cement floors.

Therefore, Xu Yiyang decided to make partitions, scrape white, and lay carpets in the simplest and fastest way in the summer, which is a top priority, and the rest can be done slowly.

Xu Yiyang happily signed a contract with the developer, paid the full amount, and after getting the floor plan, he drove back with Zhang Chong.

After returning to Yingzhou, Xu Yiyang brought Li Nan and Zhang Aixue over and took Zhang Chong to a meeting.

Now, there are only three people in Jiayang Education who can fight flexibly, that is, himself, Zhang Chong and Li Nan.

Zhang Chong is the driver, and most of the time he is with him;

As for Li Nan, Xu Yiyang wanted to release him directly as a project manager.

Zhang Aixue's main focus is on summer math classes, but Xu Yiyang still hopes that he can participate in more work other than teaching.

During the period of cooperation with Zhang Aixue, he was very satisfied with all aspects of Zhang Aixue's work.

The first is ability, after all, they are high-achieving students, not only academically, but also have strong learning and adaptability in many other aspects;

The second is the character, if you go to Zhonghai University in September, Jiayang Education must be handed over to a credible person to operate.

Although Mom is completely credible, Mom's ability and energy really can't keep up.

Moreover, Xu Yiyang didn't want his mother to be too tired.

She is now cooperating with the two girls to engage in housekeeping, which is just right for her, the workload is not large, easy and worry-free, Xu Yiyang is not ready to increase her workload.

Therefore, the only reliable candidate is Zhang Aixue.

Xu Yiyang's goal is to familiarize him with it first, and then gradually take over before he goes to college.

At the meeting, Xu Yiyang first introduced the provincial development plan of Jiayang Education.

In the first stage, Weizhou and Penang, these two cities were used to practice first;

In the second stage, Quancheng and Qingdao gnawed down the two largest cities in the province first;

In the third stage, after accumulating enough experience and expanding and improving the team, we will directly use the project experience of the first four cities to copy and paste and quickly cover all prefecture-level cities in the province.

Now, it's a critical stage to take the first step.

The venues in Weizhou and Penang have been settled, and now it is up to the renovation and teachers.

Zhang Aixue asked Xu Yiyang, "Do our two newly opened branches still do mathematics training?"

Xu Yiyang waved his hand and said, "No, we don't have much advantage in doing mathematics, mathematics is not like English, English can be improved by foreign teachers, students and parents of students as long as they see that your English teacher is a foreigner, he can rest assured, this is an advantage that no other subject has." ”

Several people nodded in agreement.

Xu Yiyang said, "So my idea is that the newly opened Jiayang Education will only do English training as a selling point in the initial stage. ”

Li Nan opened his mouth and asked, "Boss Xu, Weizhou and Penang, when do you plan to open for business?"

Xu Yiyang said, "I have personally seen these two sites, the site is not a big problem, and there is no need to make too many changes and decorations, that is, water, electricity, lighting, partitions, walls and floors, let workers do it as soon as possible, and strive to put it into use in half a month." ”

Li Nan thought for a while and said, "At present, the amount of work is not large, so there should be no problem." ”

Zhang Aixue asked Xu Yiyang, "Jiayang education has been developing in Yingzhou for several months, and it is very famous, but it may not be so famous in the other two cities, how should we promote our early enrollment?"

Xu Yiyang said, "I also considered this problem, and the solution I want now is to shoot a unified set of advertising creatives, mainly video ads and print ads, and then every time Jiayang Education develops into a city, it will do advertising bombardment in this city." ”

Saying that, he said, "Billy is already contacting her other classmates, it is estimated that we can have a few more foreign teachers this Friday, when the time comes, we will pull all the foreign teachers together, shoot some high-grade advertising materials, and then our core selling point is 100 foreign professor classes, which should be very attractive to students and parents in other cities." ”

Zhang Aixue nodded and said, "The attraction of foreign teachers is indeed very great and authoritative, if according to what you said, many foreign teachers come together to shoot a set of advertising materials, then this advertisement will definitely be very attractive to parents." ”

Li Nan asked at this time, "Boss Xu, Weizhou or Penang, which one am I responsible for?"

Xu Yiyang said, "You are responsible for the design drawings, you are responsible for the specific construction in Weizhou, and I am in charge of Penang." ”

Li Nan decisively agreed, and said, "Then I will try to get all the drawings out in the next two days." ”

Xu Yiyang said, "When the time comes, you give me a bank card, and I will first send 50,000 yuan to your card, and these money will be used as the first batch of payments, and all your expenses in Weizhou will be reimbursed, and you don't have to pay in advance." ”

Li Nan didn't expect Xu Yiyang to trust himself so much, and directly gave himself so much money at his disposal, this detail made him feel a little more confident in following Xu Yiyang to do things.

So he said, "Boss Xu, don't worry, I will definitely go all out when the time comes." ”

Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "We are short of manpower now, Li Nan, you pay attention to the friends around you, or whether there are reliable and experienced people in the society, recruit a few over, I will cover all the seventeen prefecture-level cities in the province within this year, and I also need a few project managers." ”

Li Nan asked in surprise, "I'm going to recruit?"

"Yes. Xu Yiyang said, "Now is the time to pull the team, I don't have the energy to help you find subordinates, if you want to be a leader, your subordinates have to rely on yourself to recruit." ”

"If you can afford to pull up the team, you will manage the team, and if you can't pull the team, then someone else may take care of you in the future. ”

Xu Yiyang has his own way of management, and he feels that for entrepreneurs like himself, the most important thing to form an entrepreneurial team is to find key members rather than clerks.

What is a clerk? It is not a big problem to let him do a specific job, but it is not possible to let him improve his level and rank a little bit, just like a screw, which is only suitable for screwing in a fixed position, and is always a part, not a component.

What are the backbone members, who can do specific work well and act as a good screw in the early stage, but once the scale is expanded, they can immediately support a component and manage a large number of parts, which are called backbone members.

Xu Yiyang did the first stage of Jiayang education, and he did everything himself, and everyone recruited by himself, so whether it was Billy and Anna in the early days, or Zhang Aixue, Zhang Chong, and Li Nan, in the first stage, they were all clerks.

But now, Jiayang education has entered the second stage, the size of the team needs to be doubled, Xu Yiyang can't recruit everyone by himself, so he must cultivate the backbone from the only people in his hands.

Handing over a piece of business to the backbone and letting the backbone form his own team is also the fastest way to develop.

Although Li Nan's education is not high, he is better than having a lively brain, coupled with his design skills, it is the best choice for him to be in charge of the project construction.

If he can pull out a team of project managers, then all the branches he will expand outward in the future will not need to worry about the renovation process by himself, and of course he will not treat him badly.

If he can't pull such a team, then he will go to someone else who is more suitable.

Many times an old member of a team finds that the boss has not promoted him, but has parachuted a leader into him, and he will feel aggrieved, feel that the boss is unfair to him, or he does not pay enough attention to himself.

But in fact, most of these situations are because the boss feels that the ability of this old member does not match the needs of this management position, and wants to help him, but he can't help him, so he can only replace another one who can help him.

For an enterprise that really strives to move forward, the core position must test ability, not qualifications.

No matter how old his qualifications are, even if he has been in this position for ten or twenty years, as long as he does not have the ability to be a leader, then even if a young man in his twenties comes to be his leader, he must accept it.

Li Nan naturally heard what Xu Yiyang meant, and he didn't want to miss an opportunity to be a leader, so he immediately nodded and said, "I'll start paying attention to it from today and strive to pull this team up as soon as possible." ”

Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "Your team, you form, you are responsible, and you benefit, so everyone you recruit, you must supervise it in place." ”

"If you have proper supervision and smooth work promotion, you will naturally get a promotion and a salary increase and a bonus;"

"But if you don't supervise it properly, you're responsible for your failures. ”

Li Nan said solemnly: "I understand!"
