Chapter 60 Franchise Stores

After officially joining "Li Yuchun", Wu Qingnan's business in the store is really good, he has opened a bakery for so many years, and for the first time he has experienced what it means to be in short supply.

The reason why Wu Qingnan's business is so prosperous, in addition to the six words "Li Yuchun franchise store" at the door, is that the sales of his family's ordinary bread have been rising after Xu Li's improvement.

Nowadays, there are many kinds of bread in Wu Qingnan's store, some with various jams, some with peanut butter, some with cream, some with salad dressing, and some with ham and salad dressing.

These were Xu Li's ideas, and it was under these seemingly ordinary changes that Wu Qingnan's business would get better and better.

Wu Qingnan actually had reservations about Xu Li's trust at the beginning, but now he admires Xu Li so much, especially when he heard that Xu Li had set up a logistics company in a big city like Haishi, which made him believe in Xu Li.

Seeing that Wu Qingnan next door was making a lot of money, but his customers here were full of people, Gu Xiao was both greedy and angry. She actually regretted it a little, at that time, in order to be quick to speak, she gave up the opportunity to make a lot of money, and now it is too late to regret it.

Gu Xiao was disheartened, and could only survive with the mentality of living one day at a time.

Until one night, Gu Xiao was about to close the store early, but she heard someone calling her at the door: "Sister Gu!" ā€

Gu Xiao looked back and saw that it was Xu Li. She was angry and anxious, thinking that Xu Li was coming to see her joke, so she said angrily, "What are you doing here?" Gloat? Get out of here! I don't want to see you! ā€

Xu Li entered the store with a smile and looked left and right.

"Looks like business has been bad lately!"

"You ......"

"Sister Gu, I'm really not the kind of person who gloats, whether you are doing well or not has nothing to do with me in the final analysis. Brother Wu next door, you have also seen that since joining my store, the daily turnover is more than ten times that of the past, which shows that I did not lie to him at the beginning, nor did I lie to you. ā€

"What the hell are you going to say!"

"This is the contract, I'll put this for you," Xu Li put the contract of the franchise store on the table in front of her, "You can take a closer look, if you think it's suitable, then come to me tomorrow to discuss, if you still don't believe me, then I didn't come today." Alright, don't delay you going home, see you later! ā€

Gu Xiao was stunned for a while, and when she came back to her senses, Xu Li had already walked away. She picked up the contract that Xu Li put on the table, walked out of the store, and shouted at Xu Li's back: "Hurry up and take away your broken contract!" I'm not rare! ā€

But Xu Li didn't seem to hear it, so she didn't look back at all, and went straight back to her store.

"I said Gu Xiao, don't be a dead duck with a hard mouth, Boss Xu is enough to give you face, so don't be reckless!"

Gu Xiao looked at Wu Qingnan, who came out of nowhere, snorted coldly, and went back to his store without looking back.

Shen Manyu, who was standing in the store and looking out, asked Xu Li on the side with a smile: "Did you say that this woman will come to sign the contract tomorrow?" ā€

Xu Li smiled confidently: "Definitely." ā€

"How can you be so sure?"

Xu Li smiled and didn't answer.

Shen Manyu asked puzzledly: "Why do you say you are suffering?" In fact, it's okay to have a Wu Qingnan joining, why do you have to bring this Gu Xiao? This woman looks like a prick at first glance, and she's full of opinions about you. ā€

"Actually, she was very pitiful. Her husband and children are seriously ill, and she alone earns money to support the family, and the reason why she behaves so violently is actually to hide her inner fragility and inferiority. If I hadn't heard Wu Qingnan talk about this, I would have given up her shop a long time ago, and it wouldn't be long before I could drag her down. But now, I can't bear it, so I can help her. ā€

Shen Maggie sighed and said, "You! Always! ā€

"Oh, okay," Xu Li put her arm around Shen Manyu's shoulder, "Manyu, it's good to have you by my side." ā€

Maggie Shen smiled.

The next night, Gu Xiao really found Xu Li and agreed to Xu Li's previous proposal. She squirmed and said, "I misunderstood you before, yes, yes, I'm sorry!" ā€

Xu Li handed the teacup in her hand to Gu Xiao and said with a smile: "Sister Gu, I'm sorry for telling me!" The relationship between people always needs to be gradual, besides, I also have something wrong, after opening a store here, I should communicate more with you and Brother Wu. ā€

Gu Xiao said embarrassedly: "I don't have much culture, except for being able to understand numbers, I can't understand many places, you explain to me." ā€

Xu Li smiled: "Of course you can!" ā€

Xu Li took the trouble to explain the contents of the contract to Gu Xiao from beginning to end, which took a whole afternoon.

After explaining, Xu Li asked with a smile, "Sister Gu, is there anything else you don't understand?" ā€

Gu Xiao smiled and said, "I generally understand, that is, ...... It is...... That's the ......."

"Sister Gu, don't worry about it in front of me, just say whatever you want."

"That...... I—I'd like to ask you to borrow some money. ā€

When Maggie Shen heard this, she immediately gave Xu Li a look, but Xu Li pretended not to see it.

"How much to borrow?"

"One, ten thousand."

"Yes."

"Really?"

"Is it for your son and husband?"

"How do you know!"

"It's not important, I'll give you this 10,000 yuan tomorrow."

"Xu Li," Gu Xiao held Xu Li's hand, grateful, "I really don't know how to thank you!" ā€

"Sister Gu, don't be in a hurry to thank me first. I can borrow this money, and I am willing to borrow it, but I have one additional condition, I don't know if you are willing to agree. ā€

Gu Xiao was stunned, and asked with some apprehension: "What are the additional conditions?" ā€

Xu Li said with relief: "Sister Gu, don't worry, the conditions are actually very simple, that is, I want you to give up your current store and move to another place to open a store." ā€

"Huh?" Gu Xiao let go of Xu Li's hand, and his head shook like a rattle, "How can this work?" I've been running this shop for more than 10 years! I have had feelings for a long time! ā€

Xu Li patiently explained: "Then let me ask you, for you now, is it important to be emotional, or is money important?" ā€

"But I ......"

"Sister Gu, the reason why I have this request is actually for your own good. You think, after you join, there will be three 'Li Yuchun' on this street, then this will inevitably disperse our customer flow, and my store will not be affected, but you and Brother Wu are different. Don't forget, after joining, you and Brother Wu need to be self-financed, so you not only have to compete with us for passenger flow, but also with Brother Wu for passenger flow, so, are you 100% sure of this matter? If you think it doesn't matter, then I don't say anything about it, and you can continue to do business here. ā€

Gu Xiao thought about it and felt that what Xu Li said was indeed very reasonable. Needless to say, Xu Li's shop is not possible for her to compete at all, as for Wu Qingnan, to be honest, although she has never competed with Wu Qingnan over the years, she also knows that her skills in making bread and cakes are not as good as Wu Qingnan, and she is not as good as Wu Qingnan to attract customers, so as Xu Li said, if she really competes with him, she is really not sure.

"And where am I moving to?"

"Here," Xu Li took out a map of Yongping City and drew a circle in one place, "It's only three kilometers away from your home, so it's also convenient for you to take care of your family." ā€

Gu Xiao was moved in his heart.

"Boss Xu, I really don't know what to say, I treated you like that before, you still think about me so much, I, I ......"

"Sister Gu, there is no need to say much about thanks, in the future, I, you and Brother Wu will be comrades in the trenches!"

After sending Gu Xiao away, Maggie Shen said with a smile: "It's okay if she doesn't charge her for this franchise fee, it's good now, she still has 10,000 yuan upside down, and she has to pay three months' rent for Gu Xiao's new store. ā€

Xu Li hugged Maggie Shen and said with a smile: "What do you know!" I'm buying people's hearts! When Wu Qingnan's store and Gu Xiao's store are opened, it won't take a few days to earn back this 10,000 yuan! ā€

Maggie Shen quipped: "So confident? Boss Xu, be careful of slapping your face in the future! ā€

"A slap in the face? Inexistent! And I can give you a package ticket now, and within half a year, there will be ten of our franchise stores in the entire Yongping City. ā€

When Maggie Shen heard it at first glance, she actually didn't believe it, but half a year later, when she recalled this sentence, she had to be surprised again by Xu Li's decisiveness and firmness.

In half a year, there is at least one "Li Yuchun" dessert shop in every urban area of Yongping City, all of which are counted, so far, with the efforts of Xu Li and Shen Manyu, there have been thirteen stores that have become their franchise stores.

For a time, the name "Li Yuchun" was already a household name in Yongping City, and even reporters came to interview them. Of course, the person interviewed was not Xu Li, but Maggie Shen. Today's Xu Li still can't completely let go of the things she was slandered before, and she is worried that after she is recognized, it will have a negative impact on her business.

Shen Manyu soothed: "Xu Li, you don't have to be like this. It's been so long that no one will care. ā€

"But what if it's recognized?" Xu Li smiled bitterly, "Except for you who believes in me, who else will believe me?" Would you believe a person who has been put in a detention center and suddenly says that he is innocent, but it is you? ā€

Maggie Shen sighed, knowing that this was the pain in Xu Li's heart, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

"Manyu," Xu Li lay into Shen Manyu's arms, "Yesterday, there was a person from Haishi who wanted to join us. ā€

"Haishi?"

"Manyu, I think it's time for us to go back."

……

"Mr. Su, where are we going next? Is it going straight to the train station? ā€

Su Huaien glanced at his secretary Tang Jia and said with a smile: "What time is it, and there are still more than five hours to go, why are you going so early?" ā€

"Then go back to the hotel and sit down for a while, have some coffee before leaving?"

"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, it's the first time we've been here, except for looking at the construction site, I've never seen anywhere, I'm in a good mood today, let's go around."

"Mr. Su, are you so sure? What if someone else snatches that piece of land? ā€

Su Huaien said with a smile: "The Yongping Municipal Government is investing all its strength in development, so although it seems that Yongping City is very backward compared to other cities, it will not be long before there will be a earth-shaking change." Over the years, our Su Group has not only done projects in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Haishi, but also relatively backward small cities such as Moyu City, Kai'an City and Huize City, but we have also done many projects, and after the completion of the project, it has greatly promoted the local economic development, and it is precisely because we have seen our experience in this area, so the Yongping Municipal Government will specially invite us to visit. As for other companies, they are not only inferior to us in terms of scale, but also far inferior to us in terms of experience, so what is there to worry about? ā€

Tang Jia secretly admired. Don't look at this Su Huaien on weekdays, but if he is really serious, he is still very capable. Like the projects in Moyu City, Kai'an City, and Huize City just mentioned, Su Tianci (Su Huaien's father) was very disdainful, and it was Su Huaien's repeated insistence that Su Tianci reluctantly nodded and agreed, but he didn't expect to reap the unexpected joy.

Su Huaien looked out the car window and saw a dessert shop called "Li Yuchun", and asked casually: "Master, is this 'Li Yuchun' very famous in your local area?" Along the way, I've seen at least five."
