It took Gu Biao a few days to make Mina's identity further imperceptibly accustomed to the Gu family, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief and could spend a period of shameless fairy life in peace.

Finally, there was no obstacle from above, and he was restrained from doing anything wrong.

It's no wonder that the protagonists of most urban networks are sisters and mothers.

Gu Biao felt that with his filial piety and listening to others' persuasion, he was certainly not outstanding when compared with normal people, but compared with Long Aotian, he was simply a moral model.

Who made him at least a man.

However, because of this, it is inevitable that some "the world and the earth are the biggest, I can't have Lao Tzu anymore, if there is still Lao Tzu who wants to take care of me, I will be the great filial son of Lordanlun" is unpleasant.

Fortunately, these Lordanlun filial sons don't look at Gu Biao, and they have no impact on Gu Biao's career, so why should he care.

Less nonsense.

Monday, February 3rd.

It's also the last Monday before the New Year.

Gu Biao took Mina and personally went to the city's industrial and commercial bureau and foreign investment office. Because just before the break last week, Mina submitted her application to open the first Kentucky fried chicken restaurant in the mainland.

Originally, this kind of trivial matter should be just let the handler run away, but Mina still showed full attention, because Gu Biao would arrange for big people to cheer up.

Naturally, Qiu Qing also personally went to inspect the industrial and commercial and foreign investment offices, which made the directors of the industrial and commercial bureaus and the directors of the foreign investment offices very nervous, and the staff members who handled them were even more terrified.

"Mayor Qiu, this ...... The above procedures, the above meaning, are no problem for foreign investors to operate direct service industries, right? I'm not questioning you, I'm reading the documents and not saying this. ”

In the process of handling, the people at the level of the director also beat the side drum.

The officials in 86 were still more principled, mainly for fear of making mistakes. Therefore, even if the chief is a little inclined to speak up, as long as he is not clear about the general direction, he still dares to persuade him.

"Comrade Xiao Lu! This means that you are not proficient enough in your business and do not have enough grasp of the advanced deeds of other fraternal cities in China! You have already opened a foreign-funded foreign fast food restaurant in Jinmen City, and there is a precedent for foreign-funded operation of the service industry.

It's just that the one in Jinmen City is not a big-name chain, it is a newly registered brand of patriotic overseas Chinese - but the patriotic overseas Chinese is also a serious American citizen, not to say that he will become a Chinese citizen when he comes back, that is, it is a fake foreign capital, what else do you have to worry about?"

I heard that the counterparts of Jinmen City have been the first in China to open this field a few months ago, and the staff of industry and commerce and foreign capital are immediately not afraid.

As long as there is a precedent and the deputy mayor is strong enough to support them, no matter what the board will not hit them in the future.

All the formalities were run through, Qiu Qing personally put a package of documents sorted out, solemnly handed over to Mina with both hands, and the delivery ceremony was held in the Municipal Foreign Investment Office, and the media in the province took pictures.

"Miss Medilina Isminaya, this is the business license and other relevant approvals for the 'Kentucky Hometown Chicken' store, and you can operate as scheduled. ”

Mina took the license and other things with a smile on her face, and also said a few nice words to the media.

In 1986, this was definitely a big event, not only did the final opening and ribbon cutting have to be in the news, but also the previous stages of the issuance of approvals were also to be reported.

It's just that the previous small phased results are reported at a lower level, and they will leave a brief message in the provincial and municipal newspapers, and they can only be the less important industry news pages in the middle. As for the local news of the provincial TV station, it must also give a text message, dozens of seconds.

"Miss Isminaya, when is the first store of the Kentucky Company going to open?" a female reporter from the provincial station took advantage of the text interview and asked in a businesslike manner.

"The Lantern Festival will be able to open. ”

"Lantern Festival, have you started the renovation and preparation work very early?"

"It's a trade secret, no comment, and we can also sublease it from a middleman. ”

Mina didn't say anything more and ended the interview.

However, as for the house needed to open the Kentucky hometown chicken store, the company did directly take the long-term lease to acquire.

After all, in 86 years, there is no property rights transaction of commercial real estate, and there are more sensitive points when foreign capital is involved, and the safest way is to lease for a long time, and it is a one-time rent for N years, in exchange for a long-term price increase.

This point was not Gu Biao's originality, and it was also the mainstream practice of foreign investment in the service industry at that time. In the history of another time and space, in the second half of 87, Kentucky's hometown chicken opened its first store on Qianmen Street in Beijing, and the rent negotiated by the store at that time was 1,000 yuan per month-

This is definitely a high price in the rent industry in 86 years, because the store area of the Kentucky store in history is relatively large, and it occupies a whole two-story building on Qianmen Street in the capital, so it is so expensive.

However, in history, the foreign operators of Kentucky were very confident, knowing that Qianmen Street in Beijing belonged to the golden shop area that was bound to rise in price, so they directly auctioned the rent for 10 years at one time, that is, 120,000 yuan.

Later history proved that this decision was very cost-effective, because after paying 120,000, it could be used until the end of 97. And in 97, if you want to rent a two-story commercial building on Qianmen Street, 120,000 yuan a year is far from enough.

Mina opened her shop now, a year and a half earlier than the parallel plane, and if she rented it until the beginning of '96, it wouldn't be profitable, because the commercial rent in '95 wasn't expensive.

Let's pay a one-time rent for 20 years.

Later, the Contract Law stipulated that the maximum contract for a construction lease was 20 years, and the agreement on the excess part was invalid. Although the Contract Law was not promulgated until the 90s, there were also relevant regulations that could be used for reference in the 80s, and it was certainly legal to rent for 20 years.

Besides, no matter how generous foreign businessmen are, they will give you enough money for 20 years at one time, so that the local government can earn foreign exchange.

Mina's first store in Qiantang, Gu Biao chose for her as usual in the most prosperous business district in Qiantang at the moment, a little northwest of the intersection of Yan'an Road, Xie Fang Road.

First, it is close to the most prosperous commercial street in Qiantang, and secondly, it is a little bit away from Hubin Road, and there are scenic spots nearby to do foreign-related business. At the same time, it is not directly placed on the two most prosperous roads, and it is also convenient for future film and television framing-

If the storefront is directly placed on Jiefang Road or Yan'an Road, it will face the problem of road closure and framing as soon as the film is filmed in the future, and the impact will be not good.

There is also the Shengli Theater, the largest cinema newly built in Qiantang in the past two years, and the store will be in the company of shops such as Zhiweiguan, a famous snack in Gusu, and Caizhizhai, a famous Gusu dim sum store.

The city is also very cooperative, I heard that Gu Biao may bring modern film and television works with urban backgrounds to Qiantang for filming in the future, and the municipal planning hurriedly renovated the new commercial building next to the Victory Theater, and also redid the façade of other storefronts in the neighborhood of the chicken head store in Kentucky's hometown, and made some modern simple European style decoration.

In the eyes of the relevant leaders, it seems that they have fantasized that one Hong Kong film crew after another will come here to settle in for filming.

The location that Gu Biao chose for Mina is certainly the best business environment in Qiantang for at least 15 years, but considering that Qiantang is a relatively weak second-tier provincial capital after all, the rent per unit area is naturally more than half lower than that of Beijing.

The two-story western-style building with a construction area of 2,000 square meters is only more than 600 yuan per month. So Mina directly paid 150,000 yuan and paid the rent at one time until the end of 2006.

……

After completing all the formalities, there are still 20 days before the opening, and the rest of the work is to be carried out by professionals, without Gu Biao and Mina personally asking.

The only thing Gu Biao has to do is to invite celebrities to cut the ribbon, that kind of outreach business.

In fact, the interior of the house has been renovated a long time ago, and it is nothing more than a façade sign, a statue of the colonel's grandfather and other decorations, which are only put in after the contract is signed. There are also some bar counters and kitchen equipment to be installed temporarily, all of which belong to the soft decoration level.

As for "why workers can still be hired to install equipment and carry and clean during the Chinese New Year", this is not surprising in 86.

Because most of the construction workers who have been working in 86 years are still local suburban farmers who want to earn extra money, rather than migrant workers who come across provinces to work, there is no trouble of "going back to their hometown for the Chinese New Year".

It will take another ten years for the suburban farmers to reach the pinnacle of life and abandon the lifestyle of working to make a living to outsiders. Now, most of them still have to work themselves.

The wages given by foreign-funded companies are high enough, even stevedores are paid 10 yuan a day for holiday overtime, naturally some people are willing to start work on Chinese New Year's Eve and the second day of the new year, and only have Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year rest.

Compared with the installation of the storefront, the more troublesome thing should be the management of the supply chain. Because in the late 80s, domestic enterprises basically did not establish any standardization ideas, especially the food light industry and catering with little technical content.

The Kentucky chain is very particular about standardized services, and the raw materials must be standardized. So suppliers are hard to find.

Fortunately, at present, this pilot will be opened in China, and others don't know whether your taste is standardized, maybe they think that's it, and the company still has time to slowly run in.

Mina brought back two supply chain managers from Kentucky America, and then asked Zong Qinghou from Red Bull Group to recommend a few competent managers who knew foreign languages to connect with the Americans and build raw material procurement and standards as soon as possible.

As for the more grass-roots jobs, the grass-roots employees were directly transferred from Red Bull for emergency training.

Locally, the required tickets and supplies are naturally supported by the green light, and foreign companies spend dollars to buy chicken and potatoes anyway.

For the time being, the seasoning was imported directly from the United States to ensure that the taste remains the same. In the next few years, we will slowly solve the problem of localization.

A few days passed by in a flash, and soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the biological clock of the entire city was adjusted to a state of vacation.
