Chapter 7: Going to school
It only took three days, Zhu Chengcheng and his father worked together to get Uncle Li, the deputy captain of the urban management of this county, as long as they went to exchange gifts during the New Year's holidays in the future, it seems that Zhu Qingshu has laid out a lot of favors in this area over the years, and he will not use Fang Yi, so he has to help him make these favors shine.
On August 20, Fang Yi received an admission letter from SC Business College (the predecessor of CD Polytechnic University South Campus) as in his previous life, majoring in accounting computerization, and reported to the school on September 17.
After receiving the notice, Fang Yi called his father who was far away from YN to do engineering, in fact, Fang Yi knew that his father's education was not high, and he had not made any money by working hard outside day and night all these years, and this time the tuition fees still needed to rely on his mother's savings to solve, but now it is different, he was reborn and came back, relying on 18 years of knowledge, it only took more than a month to earn the money that his mother saved in 10 years.
"Dad, I received the admission letter from the commercial college, and I was admitted" Fang Yi reported the good news to his father on the phone, for this kind of result that he had known for a long time, Fang Yi really couldn't raise too much interest.
"Great, great, great" YN's father was very happy, and said three times in a row that it was great, "When will school start, I'll come back and send you to school."
"School starts on September 17th, if you are busy, you don't have to come back to see me off, I can go by myself, I am 18 years old this year, and I am already an adult" Fang Yi replied.
"If you're not busy, if you're not busy, I'll definitely rush back to send you to school, it's a happy thing, and when you come back, you must invite your relatives and friends in the family to be happy and happy" Hearing his father's happy laughter, Fang Yi also felt very happy, this man who graduated from high school in the countryside took on too much pressure for this family.
Since talking to Zhu Cheng that day, the little fat man has been like a chicken, busy inside and out, and completed the renovation of the store before Fang Yi left K County to go to CD school, looking at the big store signs with black letters on a red background, the uniform of the staff, the clean and tidy food rack in the store, the three large freezers in the back kitchen, the English style sun umbrella outside the store, the tables and chairs made of antiseptic wood, and a small barbecue grill for each table.
"Xiao Cheng come here" greeted Zhu Cheng, who was receiving the goods on the side, "Have you completed the industrial and commercial and health certificates of our store?"
"Brother Yi, you don't know, in the boundary of our county, there are few restaurants with certificates, they all know the industry and commerce and taxation, and they still come to collect taxes as usual every month, so don't bother with that."
"Xiaocheng, if you can't do it, you have to do it, and you have to do it immediately, although no one comes to check on us now, but when our branch opens, someone will definitely be angry with us, so we have to make our store legal and compliant, so that no one can pick out the bones in the egg" Fang Yi was particularly tough on this matter, because he knew that many famous restaurants in the future were beaten back to their original shape by competitors in this way.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it tomorrow" Zhu Cheng saw that Fang Yi was so resolute, and he also felt its importance.
"When all kinds of documents are complete, you call me to inform me that I have registered the trademark of our Century brand on CD."
"We still need to register a trademark, and we are not a famous store, can we afford it?" Zhu Cheng's small farmer thinking came up again, and he still did not realize the value of his shop, as well as his ability to copy and reproduce in the future.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll handle it, you just need to provide all kinds of information" Fang Yi was not ready to spend so much money explaining to him. "Do you have an eye on our new store?"
"I found a store in the east of the city, and now I am talking about the price, the guy asks for too high a price, and he asks us 1,200 yuan a month for 100 square meters, isn't this a money grab?" said that Zhu Chengcheng was angry when it came to finding a store.
"Let's go and see together, how good this store is, it can make the landlord call out such an expensive price" It only took 10 minutes, the two came to a row of shops in the east of the city, looked up and down, Fang Yi looked at the surrounding environment again, and compared the development of this location in the previous life, yo here will open a big supermarket in the previous life, it is the most prosperous area in the entire east of the city, and a store here in the previous life can be opened for 150,000 yuan for the transfer fee alone. However, now the supermarket industry is just emerging in our country, Fang Yi remembers that Carrefour and Haoyouduo have just entered the CD two years ago, and it is estimated that it will take two years for the supermarket shopping trend to become popular in this small county.
"Xiaocheng's place is good, but now he is not worth so much money, you look at the second floor above, let's take the smallest storefront on the first floor as the entrance, and take down the entire second floor, so that our store can do 35 tabletops, and we can receive guests around the clock" Fang Yi immediately took a fancy to the second floor of this house.
"Brother Yi, the second floor is good, but it's not ventilated, our barbecue smoke is big, it's all roasted on the second floor, can you still stay in people?" Zhu Cheng suddenly thought of the biggest shortcoming of the second floor.
"In this way, that's really a big problem, if you do the ventilation system, you can't get it without a hundred thousand, and at least you have to find a CD engineering team to do this kind of exhaustion system, the cost is too high, it's not cost-effective" Hundreds of thousands of exhaust systems and more than 1,000 yuan a month of rent compared to the rent, or the rent is much more cost-effective, and the system cleaning of the ventilation system twice a year also costs a lot of money to do.
"Then let's bargain with the landlord again" Fang Yi still gave in in the face of the huge investment, such a high-standard store can only be done in a big city like CD, and the flow of people and consumption capacity in a small county town cannot support the consumption of such a large store.
Under the joint attack of Fang Yi and Zhu Cheng, the landlord finally relented, and the rent was 1,000 yuan per month, paid every six months, and increased by 5% every year, and he also used a five-year long-term contract to restrain Fang Yi and them. In the end, this five-year contract can make Fang Yi very happy, and after 5 years, the rent of the store in the county town will at least quadruple, and when the time comes, he will come back to see that the landlord's face will definitely be more exciting than the famous Peking Opera actors.
"Brother Yi, this guy only gave us a one-month renovation period, and now if the funds in our store have to draw money out to decorate, it is not enough at all" Although the store was negotiated, Zhu Cheng was not happy at all, now the store can achieve a turnover of more than 2,000 yuan a day, and the gross profit is 1,300 yuan a day;
"In this way, I still have 10 days to start school, let's go to a decoration company to talk to, let them give us the decoration that is about to be, let's pay in installments" After Fang Yi made up his mind, he began to go home to prepare the design drawings of the new store.
Fang Yi has no talent for painting at all, but in his previous life he was a foodie, barbecue, hot pot, Japanese food and other shops that are a little famous have been eaten by him, he sorted out all kinds of decoration equipment for the Neolithic barbecue restaurant in his heart, and tomorrow he will go to the decoration company and ask their designer to give a drawing.
The next day, Fang Yi and Zhu Cheng went to a well-known decoration company in the county, found their boss, and explained their intentions.
It wasn't until Fang Yi took him to see the new store and let him see the lease contract of the new store that he was convinced.
"Brother Fang, brother, I'm really convinced, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, the booming century barbecue was made by the two of you, I always thought that it was a famous catering company in the provincial capital to develop in our small county, amazing, amazing" said this buddy and gave a thumbs up.
"Mr. Chen, let you see it, that is, our brothers made it up blindly, and they can't get into the hall of elegance," Fang Yi said modestly.
"What is the name of Mr. Chen, my little business is dwarfed in front of the two of you, just call Brother Chen" The owner of the decoration company is called Chen Yi, who is also from this county.
"Brother Chen, you have also seen our new store, we have also rented the store, and now we are waiting for decoration, does your company have a professional designer?" Fang Yi didn't want to come up with his own design plan now, and after their designer gave a few sets of plans, he would come up with this set of plans to kill them in seconds, so that they could look up to a few points, and they could also fight for more bargaining chips for their later negotiations.
"Hehe, Brother Fang, don't worry, brother, I am a professional designer, and all the cases in our company are designed and decorated by my brother. Chen Yi said confidently.
"Yo, then dare to be kind, Brother Chen, your brother's store has a design plan, if it is suitable, the decoration business of your brother's store will be handed over to Brother Chen," Fang Yi said heroically.
"Okay, let's go into the store and say, I'll tell you about my design and planning for this store" Chen Yi took the two of them into the store and introduced his design plan to Fang Yi and Zhu Cheng.
An hour later, Chen Yi's three sets of plans were all approved by Fang Yi, and in front of Fang Yi, he, who thought he was the most professional designer in the county, had done all the so-called classic projects in the past.
"Brother Fang, according to what you just said, the decoration plan provided by my brother is really not good, you must have a good plan, just say it directly, let my brother also have a good experience" Chen Yi is really out of tricks, only now he heard that Fang Yi has already had a better plan, and he stupidly installed B here for more than an hour.
Fang Yi pretended to be his own set of plans and explained them to Zhu Cheng and Chen Yi in detail, including the cash register equipment, customer flow line, and meal collection line.
Zhu Cheng and Chen Yi both looked at him with their mouths wide open, "Brother, you won't go with me to smash the field, right?" Chen Yi spit out a sentence for a long time.
