Chapter 136: Busy People Are Busy and Lazy People Are Idle
Chapter 136: Busy people are annoyed and lazy people are idle
After eating, Shui Qing went to Ye's house on behalf of his father Han Yinong. γLatest chapter reading. γ
I thought it was early. found that it was not the case, except for Huatian, several others had already sat in a circle.
"Xiaohua and his girlfriend's family went on a trip and couldn't come. However, today it is only a discussion, and there is no need to vote by a show of hands. "It was Dad Ye who presided over the board meeting.
It seems that there is a major matter to discuss, Shui Qing thought to herself.
According to Shui Qing's original suggestion, although the starting point of the fundraising was the goodwill of several friends and neighbors, the investment of each company had official documents, and the names of the directors were listed in detail in the registration file of the company. The meeting held every three months not only has sufficient documents, but also records the content of the meeting by Xi Bauhinia and then organizes and archives it.
After several years, in the eyes of outsiders, it looks like a tea party next door. In fact, the content involved is very rigorous, and the process of discussion and voting is strict.
The largest shareholder of Aishifang is the Ye family, accounting for 35%. The Xiao family, the Tan family, and the Han family each have 15%, the Zhu family has 10%, and Zijing and Huatian have 5% each. Voting is based on the calculation of the number of shares. Adopt the opinion of the majority.
"Bauhinia, I have to trouble you to make a record." Dad Ye said this, and the meeting was about to start immediately.
Sister Bauhinia nodded, turned on the computer, and took out the tape recorder again, which was a double backup.
"Today's meeting is improvised, so there is no process for a quarterly meeting, only one thing is discussed." Dad Ye sent the documents to everyone.
Shui Qing quickly flipped through it, and her brows furrowed. This document is the financial statements and analysis reports for the fourth quarter of the year, and there are changes in both the data and the charts.
"Old Ye, you better explain." Professor Tan put on reading glasses, "We old couples, it's very difficult to see this." β
The cost will be explained in detail. The board of directors is not an accounting department, and not everyone is sensitive to numbers, or can see the whole picture from a single document.
"This report includes costs, sales, profits and quarterly pre-tax net profit from the second half of last year to April this year, as well as the market share surveyed, customer feedback and preferences...... "Ye Dad is unhurried, and his voice is very clear and understandable.
Shui Qing listened and slowly flipped through it again. Compared to the first three quarters, profits in these two months fell by 15 percent. This data alone is nothing, because the market will also be affected by various external factors, such as the general climate change in the catering industry, such as the increased probability of infectious diseases in spring and summer, and the overall economic downturn. But the market share has dropped by 10 percent. And the fact that this 10 percent was divided between two other similar restaurants is telling.
Shui Qing's worries some time ago unfortunately came true, and Aishifang was unable to succeed in the fierce competition. This is because the characteristics of Aishifang can be imitated and surpassed.
After Dad Ye's explanation, everyone also understood that the popularity of Aishifang was declining, and the rate of decline was still very fast.
"With the opening of the third store, there are more than 20 competitors in the noodle and catering market, and new entrants continue to appear, so I don't think we can wait for the board of directors in July to discuss it." Dad Ye was actually a little ashamed. When Shui Qing raised his concerns, he also felt that Aishifang had a reputation and could maintain its leading position in the market. However, the latest data shows the opposite.
"Although there are more competitors, the business of Aishifang is not bad. Two days ago, I went to eat with my wife, and it was quite full. Professor Tan said.
"But there's no longer a queue for a seat." Sister Bauhinia keeps her fingers, she has been on the construction site for a long time recently, and her finger typing is not as flexible as before.
"It's inevitable. There are many similar options around, so there's no need to wait in long lines for dinner. Xiao Hangyuan gave full play to the captain's insight.
"I originally thought that Aishifang was famous and not afraid of competition, but now even the amount of takeaway is decreasing." Mother Ye has no ambition, but her heart is very firm.
"It's all me. The development of new dishes is too slow, and the response is not very good. "Feather's mother has the courage to admit her flaws.
"Qingqing, don't just look down and think, let's say a few words." Dad Ye's purpose for calling Shui Qing was because she first saw the potential crisis of Aishifang.
"That's right, Qingqing, you specially asked me and Junping to discuss the matter of Aishifang last time." Ye Ma said.
Feather's mother also chimed in.
Father Ye and Dad Zhu didn't know about it, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shui Qing again.
"I just had an idea, but if the two mothers were so happy now, I don't think they have to do it. In its current state, Aishifang no longer expands its business and concentrates on the taste of pastries, which can still be kept. Thinking of Yuni, Shui Qing didn't know whether to encourage a big change in the business model of Aishifang. She came up with an idea, what should she do if she can't go on? Will it be eaten by humans and swallowed by whales? Will it owe a huge debt and make everyone lose all their money? To be honest, she wasn't sure.
"In doing business, the most fearful thing is to stick to it. There is no hope in holding on, and they only stand still, waiting to be surpassed by everyone. Ye Cheng was wrong once, and he didn't want to misjudge the second time, "Qingqing, you just have to say it boldly, anyway, let's discuss it together." β
Shui Qing looked at these neighbors, got along with them day and night, and was able to get to this day, all of them knew each other. Aishifang is everyone's crystallization and everyone's wisdom. Compared to Yunyun, there are more people who can work together to find a way. For some reason, she gained strength from the trusting gazes of her neighbors.
"My idea is either to keep or to expand." She put forward some concepts in her mind before, "Tuo, it's not that Aishifang will continue to open branches and operate according to the current model, but take the business route of food processing." Open a factory, make semi-finished dumplings, wontons, steamed buns, dumplings and other kinds of frozen food, boutique packaging, hit the food shop brand, enter large and small supermarkets and retail food stores and so on. Make the cake bigger, so big that you are not afraid of others carving it up. It's a road. β
"Listen to your tone, is there a second way?" Ye Cheng firmly grasped Shui Qing's train of thought.
"Yes. The second way to expand is the grouping of restaurants. It not only operates a Chinese pastry fast food restaurant such as Ai Shi Fang, but also develops other cuisines from all over the world and around the world, specializing in one cuisine on a restaurant basis. Then in the low, medium and high grades, for all kinds of guests. Different store names, different services. Different decorations, each operating independently, but the profits are under the same group. "Another bold suggestion.
The expressions of the people present were different. Stunned, distressed, ignorant, excited.
"Qingqing!" Ye Cheng was excited, but also distressed, "No matter which way it is, it is not a simple road. β
"Yes, more manpower and material resources are needed. Once you go on, if you don't succeed, you will become a beneficiary. "Shui Qing also understands." But what I'm just talking about is the ultimate goal, not investing so much and taking so much risk at once. Taking advantage of the good reputation of Aishifang now, you can open a small factory first. Originally, Aishifang had a large kitchen specializing in takeaways, and half of the venue and equipment were ready-made. β
"If you don't do anything, the profits will get thinner and thinner. The competition is so fierce, it is impossible for Aishifang to open for ten or twenty years. Xiao Hangyuan felt that he might as well give it a try, "Aishifang has more than 2 million liquidity, and it has the strength to invest and operate." β
"The capital in the catering industry comes quickly, as long as Aishifang has always had business, I am not afraid that the factory will not have profits in the short term. From small to big, timing is the most important. We must seize our own advantages and strengths to seek opportunities in a larger market before Aishifang is completely swallowed up by the market. Shui Qing also said, "Frozen food processing does not have too high requirements for the uniqueness of the taste, and pays more attention to the freshness of the food when it is hot." The two mothers already have a lot of experience in this. β
"Although I didn't think I would go that far, it doesn't mean that I don't want to succeed." Ye Ma figured it out a little, "My ability is to be a shop owner, a factory director or something, and find someone else." "Smile to stick to the post, but also agree to expand the business model.
"As long as I can research delicious food, whether it's a kitchen or a factory, I don't care." Feather's mother agreed.
Everyone expressed their opinions, and finally unified, and the line of food processing was decided.
It was decided to make a plan first, and then the board of directors decided on specific matters in July, and then everyone dispersed, leaving only Shui Qing.
"The concept of the restaurant group is also very good, but the funds of Aishifang are insufficient." Dad Ye sighed, "My old book has entered Nanyu." "And the rest of the families have no money to spare.
"Blue Sky can be invested." Shui Qing suddenly said this, and then he was startled.
"Is there any money in the blue sky?" Dad Ye was taken aback. Don't talk about other neighbors, the bottom of the blue sky. He thought he had seen it through. The huge amount of money invested from time to time should have something to do with Yun Tianlan. Yuntianlan has its own listed company, and its strength is certainly not ordinary. But Yun Tianlan only has 30% of the shares, and it is impossible to keep taking money out of his own pocket to Bikong.
Shui Qing snorted, "Dad Ye, what I just said was a bit fast. If Aishifang is interested in developing into a group, Blue Sky is willing to consider the feasibility of investment. I can't represent all of the blue sky, I need to discuss with Yun Tianlan and the people in the company before I can decide. Although I think it's a great investment opportunity. β
"Qingqing, it's rare for you to be impulsive." Dad Ye didn't blame Shui Qing for opening the river.
"Dad Ye, I'm sorry, I owe it to me." Shui Qing thought, is he really impulsive? Although the competition in the catering industry is fierce, people always have to eat. With more than one billion people in China in the future, the living conditions will get better and better, and the consumption of eating out will become more and more common. Australia has such a small population, restaurants abound, and those who have made a name for decades have not fallen. As long as it keeps up with the times and can grasp the popular tastes, the restaurant group can succeed.
Blue Sky can develop into a merger and investment consortium, which is the suggestion of Yuntianlan.
Shui Qing originally felt that she didn't have that kind of motivation, but she had an idea in her heart, that is, through smart investment and mergers, not participating in management, and receiving dividends every year, it seemed to be a good idea.
It's called a lazy way to do it.
