Chapter 37: Recruiting Believers Again
"Mr. Lin, I'm Wang Weidong, the owner of the food street......"
"Oh, Boss Wang, what's the matter?" When Lin Yi received a call from Wang Weidong, he was a little dissatisfied, saying that after taking a taxi last time, he hadn't seen this guy contact him again.
"Hehe, didn't we say last time that we would invite you to come to the food court to open another branch? Now I have vacated the store, look at this ......," Wang Weidong said cautiously.
After the last time Kaidi happened to pull Lin Yi in a hurry, Lin Yi's request made Wang Weidong quite embarrassed, Cui Yuchao spent a high price to enter the market for a few days, and Li Lao Er rented three or four stalls by himself, which can be regarded as the largest tenant under his command, how much loss does it have to drive people away?
But after a few days of hesitation, Wang Weidong sadly found that the business of the food street is getting worse and worse, and even half of the turnover when it first opened these days is not enough, at the end of the first two days, according to the regulations, the tenant will return the revenue, and the final account is calculated, this month's income after deducting the rent and marketing, it has lost 30,000 or 40,000!
Is this still worth it?
Chartered business to this extent, so what's the fun? Waiting to starve to death?
Of course, Wang Weidong didn't want to sit still, so he simply decided not to raise the commission system, and directly collect the rent of the shop, how much is a shop a month, and the price is clearly marked, although the stall makes more money has nothing to do with himself, but the stall business is not good, and he doesn't have to put money into it, so he can ensure that he will make a steady profit and not lose money.
The problem is, those tenants don't agree!
When the business is good, you shout for a commission, and when the business is bad, you will pay us a fixed amount of rent?
For a while, all the small bosses shouted to quit the rent, and asked Wang Weidong to return the original entrance fee!
The entrance fee? The first month of the reward has already been spent, where to give them a refund? The poor food street is so noisy that a chicken and dog are jumping, and people are so panicked that they can't even keep the flow of customers on weekdays!
If it continues like this, the food street will definitely go out of business!
So Wang Weidong finally made up his mind, and finally cleared Cui Yuchao and Li Laoer's shop - as for the entrance fee, half of it was refunded, do you like it or not, if you don't want it, you don't have a penny, but you don't want to open the door.
It was easy to get Lin Yi's request, and Wang Weidong couldn't wait to call Lin Yi.
"Oh, those two have been cleared?" Lin Yi asked, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he said, "Tsk, your efficiency is a bit low, I just decided to open another branch somewhere else, and I don't have the time to open a store in the food street for the time being......"
Although Lin Yi has the intention to take advantage of the free admission of the food street, but with the opening of the four franchise stores one after another, the business is booming, and Lin Yi doesn't care about the little money - besides, the food street is too close to the head office, and if you open two noodle restaurants in one go, the overlap of customers is too large, and you can't make much money, so you have to put in a lot of labor and energy to manage it in vain, which is not cost-effective.
"Uh, Mr. Lin, this ...... We said okay at the beginning......" Wang Weidong suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water had been splashed.
"Well, who told you not to contact me these days, I thought you weren't ready to cooperate. Lin Yi said lightly, "That's it, my branch won't be opened, but there is another promise, I can fulfill it, that is, to make the business of all the stores over there better, how about it?"
"Ah, yes, that's fine, hehe......" Wang Weidong is like a drowning man who has encountered a straw, no, this is not a straw, this is simply a big boat!
"However, you should have inquired about my rules here, right?" Lin Yi said again, "Two thousand yuan for an ancestor statue and a storefront, you must sincerely worship every day, you can ensure that the store is prosperous." ”
Lin Yi is not interested in running to open a branch again, but he doesn't mind charging more believers, there are more than a dozen stalls on the food street, each stall has at least two or three people busy, plus a unified dishwasher, cashier or something, at least dozens of believers can be added!
"Yes, no problem!" Wang Weidong immediately said, "Mr. Lin, then I'll go over to you now to get the statue of the patriarch?"
"Well, how many stalls do you have there?" Lin Yi said.
"There are sixteen stalls in total. Wang Weidong said, "Do I also need to buy one to worship?"
"Of course you need to," Lin Yi said, "That's a total of seventeen sheets, thirty-four thousand yuan, you can hit my card, and at six o'clock in the afternoon, you can come to my store to pick up the portrait." ”
hung up Wang Weidong's phone, Lin Yi called a Lehe, this time in a blink of an eye, more than 30,000 yuan was in the account, plus the revenue of the store during this time, as well as the profits from the seasonings and noodles purchased by the franchise store, all the money from the original store was earned back at once.
Well, I recently had to take some time to go back to my hometown and return the money - although I can also make a payment, but this time I haven't been home for half a year, and now that the business is on the right track, the guys in the store are also reassuring, just take the time to go home to visit my parents.
Lin Yile left the main store and went to the advertising store to remake seventeen portraits of the patriarch - there are still a few copies left from the last printing, but they have all been "opened". This time, these seventeen copies are going to be provided to the food street, Lin Yike didn't plan to give them the same normal light portrait, after all, the food street and the alley are in competition, and if the business is too good over there, it will affect his side.
Therefore, Lin Yi specially called the ancestor of Yiya, and after asking, he can also decide the extent of the "light" portrait by himself, and he can give the ancestor statue on the side of the food street, and only give 60% of the effect, and the business over there will also be improved, but it will definitely not be as effective as his own side......
"Boss Lin, you make ten or twenty copies every day, and I can't give you a discount, or you just order one hundred and ten copies at a time, and I will make them for you, and the price can be reduced a lot." The owner of the advertising store said happily.
"Discount? I like it, how many can I get for a hundred? 5 percent off?" Lin Yi smiled with a smile in his eyes.
"Five percent off, seven percent off, how about it?" said the boss.
At present, the scroll-style portrait made by Lin Yi costs forty-five yuan, and the price of seven percent is more than thirty yuan, and the profit is less than a hundred times.
As a person who has the intention of maximizing profits, Lin Yi thought about it for a while, and still decisively rejected the boss's kindness, this time he only made seventeen copies, but secretly decided to go back to a printing house and customize a batch of ancestor statues in large quantities - as soon as the printing house opened the large printing press, tens of thousands of copies came out at a time, and the price was definitely much cheaper than the one printed with a photo machine in the advertising store, and it was estimated that it could be easily done for less than ten yuan!
