186 Brand cooperation (for the rest of the alliance leader's life in the future, wind and snow plus 1)
"Whew. After saying it, it was much more comfortable. ”
Luo Xiyun let out a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Chen Xu, who was holding the steering wheel, and said, "I know, I don't really blame you for this, I'm just, I'm a little uncomfortable, if we had recognized each other earlier, there would have been no such thing." ”
Chen Xu sighed wordlessly, what about this matter?
Yang Jinxia's matter is definitely not over yet. plus the later Bai Jinxuan.
He couldn't imagine what would happen if the three of them met together.
He could only hope that there would never be a day like that.
Chen Xu drove home, picked up his parents and Chen Ziqi, and went directly to the hotel. When they arrived, the feast was about to begin.
His cousin's relatives on both sides were invited, and there were more people on the Chen family's side, and they sat at three tables. Luo Xiyun became the most popular person at the three tables, and everyone greeted her and Chen Xu cordially.
Chen Xu didn't ask her what gifts she bought, but judging from the enthusiasm of her relatives, it should be more valuable.
After the banquet, when he returned home, Chen Xu pulled his parents into the room to discuss, saying that he would give them 200,000 yuan tomorrow, let them pay off part of the debt first, and call them again in two months.
Chen Xin listened to his words, and his expression became serious, "Xiao Xu, although our family is poor, we must also have ambitions. Your girlfriend gives gifts to everyone, and I can't say much. But we can't spend other people's money, you know? ”
Zeng Li also said, "Your dad is right. No matter how good your relationship is, you must also distinguish between money. No matter how rich her family is, it's her business. You can't take it for your own money. You can't afford to be fooled by this. ”
"Don't worry, I can carry it. The 200,000 yuan I earned with one hand and one foot. Only then did Chen Xu resign himself and tell them about opening a store.
Chen Xin and Zeng Li looked at each other when they heard this.
"You kid, you don't discuss such a big matter with us in advance." Zeng Li complained.
Chen Xu said, "I just don't want you to worry. ”
Zeng Li said a few more words to him, and finally couldn't help asking, "Is it really that profitable to open a noodle restaurant?" Can you earn 60,000 or 70,000 yuan a month? ”
"Last month it did." Chen Xu said.
"This ......" Zeng Li couldn't help but look at her husband.
Chen Xin took out the cigarette case from his pocket, paused, and immediately stuffed it back again, saying, "Tomorrow I will take a day off and come with you to see your noodle restaurant." ”
"I'll go too." Zeng Li said.
Chen Xin wanted to say something, but he held back again.
Chen Xu originally thought that at the end of the year, he would tell them again that he would pay off the debt at one time. Unfortunately, the plans did not change as quickly. Luo Xiyun came back this time and brought so many gifts, some people must have muttered in their hearts, thinking that his girlfriend was so rich and owed so much money.
Maybe there's some gossip.
He knew that his parents cared a lot about the gossip. He didn't want them to be difficult, so he simply took out the money and paid back some of it first. The rest, including interest, can be paid off after two months.
It's just that in this way, the plan to buy a car will be postponed.
………………
Early the next morning, Chen Xu drove, Luo Xiyun sat in the co-pilot, and his parents and Chen Ziqi sat in the back seat, just like a family outing.
After arriving at the noodle restaurant, Luo Xiyun's company still had something to do, so he left first, and before leaving, he told Chen Xu's parents that he would come to pick them up and go out to eat together in the evening.
As soon as she left, Zeng Li couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What does Xiyun do?" ”
Chen Ziqi finally found an opportunity and hurriedly said, "Second aunt, you don't know yet. The sister-in-law used to be Chen Xu's immediate boss. The director of their company, who is now the vice president, earns a million dollars a year. ”
Zeng Li was stunned, "Annual salary of one million? She's only so young......"
"You don't understand this, now if you want to be a company leader, one is to look at the background, the second is to look at the academic qualifications, and the third is to look at the ability. Sister-in-law is not bad at all three. ”
Chen Ziqi said, changing the topic, "Of course, Chen Xu is not bad now, the noodle restaurant is about to open a branch, and more and more branches will be opened in the future, maybe he will get a chain card and become a billionaire." ”
Zeng Li was right when she thought about it, her son is now opening a noodle restaurant, and he can earn 70,000 or 80,000 yuan a month, which is not much different.
She knew her son very well, and knew that he rarely said big things, and would not lie to them with such things.
However, she still felt a little uneasy, Luo Xiyun was too generous in giving gifts, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xu, what does Xiyun and their family do?" ”
"I haven't asked her either, but she should have a good status." Chen Xu could guess some, but it was difficult to tell his parents, so he could only give them a little vaccination.
"Let's go and have a look at the store."
It's almost noon, and there are quite a lot of people in the noodle restaurant.
"Boss, you're back." Aunt Zhang saw him from afar and greeted him loudly.
Chen Xin saw that the store was almost full, and said, "Just watch here for a while, don't go inside and get in the way of business." ”
Chen Xu had to accompany him to stand outside.
Chen Xin observed outside for a while, and when he saw that there were no fewer customers in the store, he nodded and said, "Let's go, go to your rented house and have a look." ”
So, Chen Xu took them back to the rental house first.
Chen Xin and his wife stayed here for one night, and the next morning, they took a taxi back. didn't let Chen Xu drive it, saying that it was troublesome to borrow a car, and he was tired of running around.
…………
In the next week, Chen Xu devoted his energy to the decoration of the new store, Xu Xiaoxiao also attached great importance to his work, and every day after work, he ran over to stare at it, and soon, the new store was installed.
On the day of the opening, Chen Xu asked Dai Zixin to help promote it in the circle of friends. As a result, there were a lot of people who came on the first day, and Luo Xiyun even brought the entire department to cheer.
Several of Dai Zixin's friends also came over with a large group of friends.
There are also a group of old customers such as Yanqing, all of whom came.
Only then did Chen Xu realize that unconsciously, his social circle was much larger than before, and there were many friends who could be regarded as friends.
The second branch of the noodle restaurant is more than twice the size of the old one, and can accommodate more customers. On the first day, the turnover broke the record of the old store.
Fortunately, Chen Xu recruited enough people in advance, and the five employees of the new store were all busy, and because of their lack of experience, there were many mistakes, but fortunately, he personally watched and there were no big problems.
However, the turnover on the first day is not the norm, and Luo Xiyun can't bring the whole department every day. It will depend on some time after that.
He has now completely handed over the old store to Aunt Zhou, and has also recruited an additional employee over there, who can work shifts. He himself has been staring at the new store, and only goes to the old store every night to hand over to Aunt Zhou.
For a whole month, he was busy with the affairs of the store, and he only had dinner with Luo Xiyun a few times. The main reason is that she is also very busy during this time, the company's online channel has just opened, she is one of the main responsible persons, there are countless things piled up to her, working more than ten hours a day. Sometimes I can't find time to eat.
…………
It's already June, and it's getting hotter.
On this morning, just after seven o'clock, Chen Xu came to the branch as usual, and the two employees who worked the morning shift were already waiting there.
He opened the door and two employees expertly began cleaning the store to welcome the first wave of customers in the morning.
Gradually, someone came to breakfast.
When it was almost eight o'clock, a woman in a professional dress attracted Chen Xu's attention, and the reason why he noticed her was because this week, she would come every day, and three meals a day plus supper would never fall. And I order different noodles every time.
What's more, unlike ordinary customers, she is always looking around when she eats. Sometimes, noticing his attention, she will nod and smile at him. And then it's still the same.
Anyway, she didn't feel like she was here to eat at all.
Of course, Chen Xu didn't want to care about her, as long as she didn't come to make trouble.
"You're the boss here." This time, she came straight up to him and asked.
Surprised, he nodded, "Yes, I am." ”
"My name is Jiang Yan, and I want to talk to you." The woman took out a business card and handed it over, "This is my business card." ”
Chen Xu took a look, and it read, Jinyun Catering Group Co., Ltd., director of the brand promotion department, Jiang Yan. How much can I guess her intention, but I think it's incredible, and my first reaction is, won't she be a liar?
"Let's talk to my office." Anyway, he said, let's talk about it first.
It is said to be an office, but it is actually very small, barely putting down a sofa and a coffee table, and there is a place to entertain others.
After Jiang Yan sat down, he asked, "I don't know if you have heard of our company?" ”
Chen Xu put the water down to boil and said, "No." ”
"Then you can find out. Our company is mainly engaged in the catering industry, and has a number of chain brands, fast food, milk tea, meals and so on. Jiang Yan said a few cards out.
Chen Xu had also seen these shops on the street, but his face was noncommittal, and he asked, "I don't know what you want to talk to me about?" ”
Jiang Yan asked, "What do you call it?" ”
"Chen Xu."
"Mr. Chen, that's right, I'm specifically responsible for discovering some potential restaurants, and the two sides will work together to operate and promote through our resources, and make this card bigger to achieve a win-win situation. After so many days of observation, I feel that your noodle restaurant has great potential and would like to invite your shop to join our company and become our sub-brand. ”
When Chen Xu heard this, he said strangely, "Isn't the general routine a recipe to buy?" ”
"No, no, no, the formula is dead, the talent is alive."
Jiang Yan said with a smile, "In this world, there are many so-called formulas, but only a few of them can be made into mature products. Rather than spending a lot of money on a recipe, it is more efficient to work with the owner of the recipe that has already made a mature production. ”
Chen Xu has to admit that this set of rhetoric is very impressive. But I continued to talk to her.
This conversation is nearly half an hour.
Finally, Chen Xu said that it needs to be considered for a few days.
Jiang Yan left a few examples of previous successful collaborations and left.
ps: For the first alliance leader in my life, the first chapter of the change, a total of five more.
