Chapter 561: Franchise Store
When Xu Qing came to the hotel, it was already more than 7 o'clock in the evening, and she was very hungry, so the first thing was to look for food first.
The hotel where Xu Qing stayed was a five-star hotel, and it was also the only five-star hotel in Greenville, and the food was OK.
After dinner, Xu Qing went out for a walk, but Xu Qing walked around for more than half an hour and didn't see a few people.
There are so few people in Greenville, less than 50,000, not even the number of Chinese in the Bay Area.
After shopping for a while, the owner of the franchise store visited Xu Qing, and Xu Qing returned to the hotel.
The owner of the franchise store is called James, and Xu Qing doesn't know how many people with the name James he has met.
The name James is as common in the United States as Wang Wei is in China, and there is also a Paul who is also very common.
James is a middle-aged white man, a little chubby, honest, and used to run a grocery store in his hometown village.
Because his son lives and works in Greenville, he and his wife also move to Greenville.
I originally wanted to continue to open a grocery store in Greenville, but when I saw the information that Future Convenience Store was going to recruit franchise stores, I thought it was very suitable for him, so I applied to join.
James was the first person in Mississippi to apply to join, and the Future convenience store headquarters agreed to the application after a review.
It's not difficult to open a convenience store, at most, it's a bit of a fine way to place some products, such as small items like chewing gum at the checkout counter.
These commodity placement skills have been told to James at the future convenience store headquarters, and James came to visit Xu Qing tonight, mainly to express his friendship with the landlord.
Among the people who attended James' franchise store in the Future Group tomorrow, in addition to Xu Qing, there was also the person in charge of the Future convenience store, and the other senior executives of the Future Group did not follow.
The Future convenience store is currently affiliated with the Future Mall, and as you can tell from the name, the Future convenience store will always be tied to the Future Group.
In the future, large shopping malls will become a separate company and will not be affiliated with the Future Group.
Xu Qing now has too many companies, because in the past one or two years, Xu Qing's company has developed a lot of business and established many companies.
The originally clear company structure is starting to get a little messy again.
After the office buildings of Xu Qing and other group companies are established, they will integrate the companies again, and at the same time dispose of his shares, so that he does not seem to have so many shares.
These things are still some time to be done, and now the thing is still the future convenience store.
James mainly chatted with the person in charge of the future convenience store, and Xu Qing stayed for more than ten minutes before leaving.
He would put a lot of pressure on James and the person in charge of the future convenience store, especially James, who was a little nervous and nervous.
From Xu Qing to attending the opening ceremony of his convenience store, James was nervous.
First, I have never been in contact with a big man like Xu Qing, and I am very nervous.
The second is that he is afraid that his convenience store will not do well and will make Xu Qing dissatisfied.
The third is what he is most worried about, he is worried about what will happen on the day of the opening ceremony.
Several factors caused him to be nervous all the time, and he hoped that Xu Qing would draw him before the lottery, because Xu Qing's attendance would definitely bring fame to his convenience store, and it would also give him material to brag about.
But after Xu Qing really drew him, he began to get nervous, and he didn't want Xu Qing to not draw him.
came to visit Xu Qing tonight, and he also came after thinking about it for a long time, mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to speak in front of Xu Qing, lose face, and leave a bad impression on Xu Qing.
Finally, with the encouragement of his wife and children, he bravely came to the hotel to visit Xu Qing.
The result was the same as he imagined, he was very nervous when he saw Xu Qing, and he couldn't speak well, he didn't know if he had left a bad impression on Xu Qing, it was too embarrassing.
Xu Qing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel, looking at the night view outside the window, not knowing that James was thinking nonsense.
It won't be strange to know, over the years, he has seen a lot of people who are nervous and don't speak well because they see him, Xu Qing is still a little helpless about this situation.
Xu Qing watched the night scene in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a while, and then didn't look at it again, the night scene in Greenville is really nothing to see, much worse than the Bay Area.
Xu Qing turned on the computer and checked the major news websites, and the opening of the Future convenience store today has been reported on the major news websites, and it is a more conspicuous position.
The reports on major news websites have pictures, and most of them have Xu Qing on them.
I have to say that Xu Qing is still very handsome, even with the current mosaic photos, you can see Xu Qing's handsomeness.
Of course, the major news websites prominently put the report of the future convenience store because the future convenience store was stuffed with money.
If there is no money, these news sites will report it, but the report will not be as conspicuous as it is placed.
What's more, Xu Qing will definitely not be so handsome.
Maybe there will be news websites that deliberately make Xu Qing very ugly, and make people ugly and handsome, for those reporters, it is as easy as a breeze.
At 8 o'clock the next morning, Xu Qing had breakfast at the hotel and came to James's convenience store at about 8:30.
At this time, there are also a lot of people lined up at the entrance of the convenience store, about dozens of people, which is definitely incomparable with the future convenience store in the Bay Area yesterday.
The main reason is that James's convenience store is not as large as the future convenience store in the Bay Area, with a 7% discount, and the purchase limit of each item is 5 pieces.
The discount fee of James convenience store is paid by the headquarters of Future convenience store, not only James's convenience store, but also the future convenience store on the opening day of the franchise store will be paid by future convenience store.
There are restrictions on the discounts of those convenience stores, all of which are 7% off, and no matter how much it is, it doesn't mean that future convenience stores can't afford it, but it's unnecessary.
A 7% discount is already very good, and convenience stores don't need to attract a large number of consumers like large shopping malls.
No one would deliberately buy from a convenience store a few kilometers away, but there would be large shopping malls, dozens of kilometers away.
Convenience stores only need consumers living in the neighborhood to come and buy things occasionally.
Of course, if the owner of the franchise store is willing to pay to bear the cost together with the future convenience store headquarters, then the discount will be even greater.
If the owner can afford it, you can give it away for free.
James's family came, Xu Qing shook hands with a smile, and everyone waited for the arrival at 9 o'clock in the morning.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, hundreds of consumers gathered at the door of the convenience store, Xu Qing said a few words, and the convenience store officially opened.
James's family all receive customers at convenience stores, James and his wife used to run grocery stores, and they have a lot of experience in receiving customers, and the whole process is very smooth.
Xu Qing stayed for more than half an hour, left the convenience store, boarded the Skyhawk, and returned to the Bay Area.
