Chapter 313: If you can't do it, let's change the company!

Sometimes it's a frustration for employees to be too productive.

For example, Xu An wanted to watch the live video conversion data the day before, and Tang Wen sorted it out early in the morning and reported it; Xu An just passed Lu Shengnan's request to open a branch, and now Xu An is on his way to Huiyuan Shopping Mall.

In fact, the two branches in the township have also been selected for their addresses, but Xu An has handed over the two stores to Lu Shengnan, and only the shopping mall needs to go to see it in person.

There are two reasons for this, one of which is that Huiyuan Shopping Mall is not only a store that sells Xu's lo-mei, but also serves as a transit station for Xu's fast food lunches.

Yes, this is the fourth transfer station set up in addition to the three transfer stations of Haishi Library, Red Brick Creative Park and Silver Star Building Office Building, which means that the business scope of Xu's fast food has expanded again.

The location of the shop is not in the Huiyuan shopping mall, but on the snack street of the mall's takeaway.

It's noon, even during working hours, there are a lot of people who come to the snack street to wander around, and most of the shops are full of people along the way, and many pedestrians are holding a drink in their hands and carrying all kinds of snacks.

"The flow of people on this street is quite high!" Xu An looked at the endless stream of pedestrians and sighed.

"Huiyuan Shopping Mall is backed by three communities, surrounded by two office buildings and a creative park, three primary schools, two middle schools, and one high school and university, with a weekday flow of 13,000 people, and a peak flow of 40,000 people on holidays."

Lu Shengnan is very professional in telling a series of data, and also intimately attached the data forecast after the opening of the store.

According to the model analysis, after the store is completed and opened, it can sell an average of 800 catties of lo-mei and 1,700 boxed lunches per day, and the profit in three days can cover the rent, water, electricity and labor expenses of the entire store."

While talking, the two came to the target site of the store, the total width of the store is two meters five, and there is a new signboard hanging above the door of the store, which reads "QQ milk tea".

The intermediary who was waiting at the door saw Xu An and the two coming, and immediately took out the key to open the store door and invited the two to visit.

The intermediary wanted to introduce the store to the two again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Lu Shengnan, and then he stopped bothering very much, and stood outside the store waiting for the two to discuss the signing after the visit.

Although the width of the store is not wide, the length is eight meters long, and there is a back door at the back of the store, and when you open the door, you can see the main road outside, and the triangular position happens to park a small truck, whether it is to carry lo mei or lunch box is very convenient.

Seeing the look of satisfaction on Xu An's face, Lu Shengnan said the rent of the house, the calculation mode of water and electricity, and the estimated decoration cost, etc., totaling 60,000 yuan, which was 6,000 yuan more than previously expected.

"Yes, the decoration, personnel recruitment, publicity and other matters of these three stores will be arranged by you." Xu An didn't have any opinion on this, and nodded directly in agreement.

Before the visit, Lu Shengnan asked the intermediary to prepare the relevant materials in advance, and after obtaining Xu An's consent, the lease contracts of the three stores were signed together.

Checking the location of the branch is not the main purpose of going out today, the main purpose of going out today is to meet with nutritionist Li Jinyuan!

Yes, when I visited the factory of Xinyang Commercial Kitchen Technology Co., Ltd., the nutritional dietitian who was discussing at the table behind him - Li Jinyuan.

Although Xu An didn't know this person, the law of six people was never wrong, and between two strangers, six people could establish a connection.

When Xu An passed the information that he wanted to find Li Jinyuan to Lu Shengnan, Lu Shengnan consulted a friend who was engaged in the food industry, and this friend found a colleague, and the colleague found his friend, and this friend found another person, there were exactly six people before and after, and Xu An's commission reached Li Jinyuan's ears, and the two established a connection.

When he arrived at the hotel box, there were still forty minutes before the meeting, so Lu Shengnan opened the notebook he carried with him and reported the progress of other work to Xu An by the way.

Twenty-one prefecture-level cities can be connected into four different lines, the longest of which takes eighteen hours to transport, and the shortest one takes six hours. Long-distance transportation has to rely on cold chain transportation vehicles, supplemented by vacuum packaging, to ensure the taste and quality of lo-mei."

These are the information and quotations of the relevant cold chain transport vehicles collected.The rated load of the 4.2-meter-long refrigerated truck is five tons, and the price is 110,000 units.

Because the cost of setting up a fleet is relatively high, you can also consider finding relevant transportation companies to cooperate, the transportation cost of 200 kilometers of one ton of cargo is 200 yuan, and the total transportation cost of 20 prefecture-level cities is 6,000 yuan a day."

Six thousand dollars a day. Half a month is enough to buy a cold chain transport vehicle.

Although he knew that as the transportation volume of the same place increased, the transportation cost would also decrease, but Xu An wanted the cold chain transport vehicle of his own store even more.

When looking at the information of the cold chain transport vehicle sorted out by Lu Shengnan, the rows of trucks parked in the open space of the modern factory converted from an abandoned paper mill in his mind instantly had a clear appearance.

What's going on lately?

Ever since I heard Aunt Hong say that someone was hiding in an abandoned paper mill to do bad things, no matter what she did, she couldn't help but think of the picture after renting this paper mill. Even if you dream about it when you sleep, why do you think about it when you listen to work reports now?

shook his head slightly, and focused his attention on the plan reported by Lu Shengnan.

Indeed, if you want to develop outward, transportation and preservation occupy an important position; In the food industry, which has a limited shelf life and requires temperature, how to transport it is a top priority.

However, Xu An's initial preset cold chain transport vehicle was 300,000 yuan, and now it exceeds 200,000 yuan! Why do you feel that the more you calculate, the more you feel that the planned loan of three million is not enough?

Why don't you talk to Hannan Financing Guarantee Company?

Bang Bang - Bang β€”β€”β€”β€”

Just when Xu An was thinking about whether to find a financing guarantee company to help him take out a large loan, there was a sudden sound of 'clicking' walking outside the box, from far and near, it seemed to be walking towards the box where he was.

Walking outside the door was Xu An's main target for today's field work, the nutritional dietitian, Li Jinyuan, and his little assistant.

"Brother Li, didn't you say last time that you would no longer cooperate with the companies and manufacturers that make snacks, why did you agree to this invitation from Xu's Catering? I've checked, and their Xu's lo-mei is a snack product."

"Since you have checked, have you found that there is another Xu's fast food under the name of Xu's Catering?"

"I found it, but the price of that box of lunch is only eight yuan a box, and there is no need for any nutrition at this price!"

"You don't need it, just listen to what the boss says?"

The moment the words fell, the two walked to the front of the 203 box under the leadership of the waiter, as the door of the box opened, Li Jinyuan saw a man and a woman sitting in the box, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, these two people don't look very old, could it be that the owner of Xu's restaurant hasn't come yet?

Thinking of this possibility, the smile on Li Jinyuan's face weakened by three points, and it seemed that today was the same as what the assistant said, it was a trip for nothing.

At the same time that Li Jinyuan saw Xu An and the others, Xu An also saw Li Jinyuan and the others, and immediately stepped forward with a smile and greeted him warmly: "Presumably you are Li Jinyuan Teacher Li, you have admired the name for a long time, please here, please here!" ”

After Li Jinyuan sat down, Xu An picked up a menu and handed it to Li Jinyuan, and when he was about to open his mouth to order, Li Jinyuan took the lead in speaking.

"When will your boss arrive?" Li Jinyuan glanced at his watch and said embarrassedly: "There will be an invitation at four o'clock in a while, and the time is a little rushed."

Ahemβ€”β€”β€”β€”

Xu An and Lu Shengnan coughed dryly at the same time, and after glancing at each other, Lu Shengnan finally came out to play the round.

"Mr. Li, I'm really sorry, I'm so happy to see you, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Lu Shengnan, the general manager of Xu's Catering" Lu Shengnan first introduced his name and position, and then, with a stroke of his right hand, he guided everyone's attention to Xu An before he spoke again: "This is Xu An, the owner of Xu's Catering." ”

When the little assistant was still stunned, Li Jinyuan had already reacted, and hurriedly answered: "It turns out that I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, Boss Xu and Mr. Lu are sitting here, I can't recognize it, I'll punish myself!" Punish yourself with a glass! ”

"Teacher Li, we are all young people, and we don't like this at the wine table." Xu An hurriedly got up and stopped Li Jinyuan from pouring wine.

Just kidding, I slept in a rocking chair last night because of drinking, and now I still have a sore back, this feeling Xu An really doesn't want to try it a second time.

Seeing that Xu An was really stopping, rather than saying anything about the scene, Li Jinyuan also put down the wine glass down the slope and said with a smile: "I came here once when this hotel opened, and I was invited to help them formulate a set menu, both of them are young people, and now the weather is hot and dry, I recommend you to try this package that moistens your lungs."

Li Jinyuan wanted to break this embarrassment before introducing the menu to the two, but as he spoke, he went up, introducing one dish after another, until the assistant on the side pulled his arm vigorously before he reacted.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made an occupational disease when I saw the menu"

"It's okay, it's okay, it sounds very interesting, I didn't expect there to be so much attention in such a small dish! We've found the right person! ”

After Xu An took over the conversation and praised Li Jinyuan, he casually talked about the purpose of inviting him to come today.

"Mr. Li, the main reason for inviting you here this time is to formulate a suitable menu for the Xu's catering under my name."

"Oh, I don't know what direction Boss Xu, you want to modify the menu?" Li Jinyuan said with a straight face when he heard this: "Do you want balanced nutrition or do you have any special requirements?" ”

"I took over a job to serve lunch to the middle-aged and elderly, Xu's previous meals were biased towards heavy oil and heavy salt, which is not suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, and now I want to invite Mr. Li to adjust the appropriate menu according to the characteristics of people of different ages."

Xu An seemed to feel that he was not clear enough, for example, he said: "For example, what kind of diet is suitable for kindergarten children, what kind of diet is needed for children in primary and junior high school, as well as high school, adults, middle-aged people and the elderly, etc., all make a targeted dietary adjustment." ”

"Hmm" Li Jinyuan wanted to take a bite, but thinking of the price of the lunch box that the assistant said before entering the door, he hesitated and asked, "Are there any requirements in terms of price?" ”

"In terms of price, we have listed all the commonly used ingredients, Mr. Li, can you make adjustments according to these existing ingredients?" Xu An's words fell, and Lu Shengnan took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Li Jinyuan.

"I'll take a look."

After that, Li Jinyuan took the document and looked down, his fingers were writing and drawing on the table, and there were words in his mouth, and the little assistant on the side took out a pen and paper and handed them to Li Jinyuan in a timely manner.

As he looked at the same ingredients, Li Jinyuan's face became more and more strange.

According to the list of ingredients provided by Xu's Catering, each boxed lunch will cost five or six yuan for the ingredients alone, and then subtract the expenses such as artificial water, electricity, rent, etc., wouldn't a boxed lunch only earn a few cents a piece, is it difficult for Boss Xu to open a store for charity?

Or, all of these ingredients on the list

This made Li Jinyuan think of the shameless practice of a food factory before, and he adjusted the formula to himself, but in the end it was not activated, and when he publicized it, he shouted loudly in his own name, and he couldn't jump out and tell everyone that this food factory didn't use its own formula at all.

Is it possible that Xu's catering is also with this kind of thought? Tricking in your own name?

Ahemβ€”β€”β€”β€”

Li Jinyuan's mind turned quickly, and finally thought of a suitable reason, coughed lightly twice and said: "If you make a menu according to the ingredients on this list, it's not a big problem, but I want to go to the store to see the specific situation, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”

"Hmm" Xu An lit up the phone screen and glanced at the time: "Xu's fast food restaurant closed at two o'clock in the afternoon, and now it's three and fifteen, and the store has already packed up both the ingredients and the equipment. And Mr. Li, you won't have anything to do at four o'clock, it's at least half an hour's drive here."

Listening to Xu An's series of 'lame' reasons, Li Jinyuan was even more sure that Xu An was trying to use his name to deceive, and just when he wanted to find a reason to get out, Lu Shengnan handed a tablet to Li Jinyuan.

"Mr. Li, this is our store's food ordering website, and the daily purchasing, cleaning, processing, cooking and packaging processes are recorded, and uploaded to the website after post-editing."

Lu Shengnan tapped his finger on the video marking the date of 'October 11th', and the video automatically zoomed in and took up the entire screen and began to play.

Although the recording time may reach three or four hours, after post-editing, the length of the videos uploaded to the website is about five minutes, so one video is played quickly and the next video is automatically played.

Li Jinyuan clicked on several videos randomly, and after seeing that most of the ingredients in the videos were not the same, he finally put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Boss Xu, I don't know if you have any other requirements in addition to formulating suitable meals according to age groups, such as whether the ingredients should change according to the season?" ”

Hearing Li Jinyuan's words, Xu An knew that this cooperation was stable.

After nearly half an hour of communication about what to make a menu, the two finally reached a preliminary intention.

Lu Shengnan added or subtracted the terms of the contract according to the content of the chat between the two, and when the two finished talking, a new contract was drawn up.

Among them, Xu's Catering is currently the most urgent autumn meal menu for middle-aged and elderly people, which is agreed to be given on November 15, that is, before next Monday, and it happens that this dish can be put into the market for trial from next Monday.

"The application report for the road from the town to Hezibao meets the construction standards, and it has been submitted to wait in line for construction!"

"When will it be available?"

"This is not certain, if it is fast, it may be approved after the New Year, and if it is slow, it may have to wait until the end of next year, or even the year after tomorrow." The leader of the Hongshan Poverty Alleviation Office glanced at Li Sixin, and then said: "After all, some road repair applications last year have not yet been approved, and they are still queuing. ”

"It's going to take so long!" Li Sixin sighed and began to sell miserably.

"Xu's Catering's business is getting better and better, and the scope of acquisition has also spread from Hezibao to surrounding villages, and more and more orders are sent every day. Originally, the truck ran once every two days, but now it has to run once a day."

But you also know the road situation from Hezibao to the city, those truck masters are not willing to run, and they have to ask for three or five invitations every time, and they are willing to run only if they increase the price and send cigarettes and alcohol."

This is already a big problem, but the bigger problem is that the produce is packed tightly and not breathable! It's easy to break if you leave it for a long time! You said that if it is bad when it is delivered to consumers, isn't it a problem of bad business, and even the reputation of Hongshan Town has been ruined."

β€œ.”

Li Sixin's words were so high-sounding and magnificent, that people couldn't find the slightest place to refute.

"You, you, your mouth is still so powerful!"

Hearing the end, the leader of the Poverty Alleviation Office showed a helpless smile, pointed his finger at Li Sixin in the void, and said with a wry smile.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but ah, it's nearly two hundred kilometers from the town to Hezibao, and according to the cost of one kilometer of road, it's two million! Not to mention that there are so many mountains on this road, digging and leveling the past, there is no three million that can't be beaten! ”

"This can be repaired for a while, it's really not good, it's okay to repair it to Shizhuang first" Li Sixin bargained without discouragement.

"Hey!" The leader of the Poverty Alleviation Office slapped his right hand in the air, interrupting the second half of Li Sixin's sentence, and said in a low voice: "As long as Xu's Catering can operate steadily and locally, when your greenhouse is built, the devil pepper will begin to be harvested, and road construction will not be a problem!" ”

"Speaking of Xu's catering, I have a reluctant invitation here." Li Sixin accepted it when he saw it, and opened a new topic: "Last time, because Xu's Catering did not get official recognition, the self-proclaimed [charity enterprise] made a fuss on the Internet, and I want to apply for it, so that Xu's Catering can implement this name, do you think it is feasible?" ”

The leaders of the Poverty Alleviation Office guessed what Li Sixin wanted to say, but they still cautiously asked: "What is the implementation law?" ”

"How about we give Boss Xu of Xu's Catering a title of [Honorary Village Director] here?" Li Sixin said slyly: "This not only acknowledges the good deeds of Xu's catering, but also makes Boss Xu have a little more fetters with Hezibao, killing two birds with one stone!" ”

"This matter, it doesn't work if we talk about it, we have to agree with the people in your village." The leader of the Poverty Alleviation Office said leisurely.

Li Sixinyan's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Who in our village didn't accept Boss Xu's love and exchanged this year's harvest for real money early, if anyone doesn't agree, it is a white-eyed wolf who eats inside and out, and we Hezibao don't recognize this person!" ”

"Don't tell me this, I only recognize documents, only look at signatures." The leader of the Poverty Alleviation Office waved his hand and said: "You come with the consent form signed by all the villagers in Hezibao, and I will pass it for you immediately!" ”

"Okay, then I'll come back in two days."

β€œ.”

After the main things were dealt with, the two chatted about the recent actions of Xu's catering and the changes in Hezibao, Li Sixin left the Honghe Poverty Alleviation Office and found the Nadutong Express Company that cooperated with Hezibao to deliver goods.

"Secretary Li, why are you free to come over today!" When the boss of Nadutong Express saw Li Sixin, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, and after beckoning Li Sixin to sit down, he would prepare tea for him to make tea.

The Nadutong Express Branch in Honghe City is at the bottom of the performance almost every year, if it is not for the completion of the company's layout, this barely maintain the balance of the express point will definitely be removed.

But this year, the express point ushered in a big turnaround, and Hezibao cooperated with Xu's Catering!

Here in Hezibao alone, nearly one or two thousand couriers can be sent out in a day! Recently, it has been able to send three or four thousand express deliveries a day, and the turnover has risen gradually, and the ranking has jumped up several places in just half a month, jumping out of the bottom five, and the boss is naturally very happy to see Li Sixin.

"Boss, don't be busy, I'm just coming to talk to you about cooperation, I'll go back after chatting, there's a lot of things waiting for me in the village!" Seeing this, Li Sixin stopped the courier boss's busy work, and expressed his intentions: "Boss, the courier sent out by us from you in Hezibao is three or five thousand a day, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, thanks to Secretary Li, you helped the business, otherwise my express delivery point would have closed down a long time ago!" The courier boss quickly took over the conversation, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that Li Sixin didn't have anything good to come this time.

"We have been cooperating for almost half a month, and the cooperation in this half month is very pleasant, I just want to discuss something with you, can you arrange an express point to our Hezibao?"

"What? Go to your village to set up a courier point, this is not good, no, no, no" The courier boss suddenly put his hands out of the flowers when he heard this, and refused again and again.

"Listen to me first! Xu's Catering will next build two factories in Hezibao, one is to purchase agricultural products, and the other is to make lo-mei for online sales. If you go in advance, you can be regarded as having a good relationship with Xu's Catering in advance, won't this order be yours in the future? ”

After the temptation was completed, Li Sixin began to threaten.

"There is not only one express company like you in Honghe City, there are seven or eight companies in Yuantong, Zhongtong, Shentong, SF Express, etc., they are very greedy for orders from Hezibao, if you are not happy, I will talk to them!"

After that, Li Sixin pretended to get up and leave, so frightened that the courier boss hurriedly pressed him back to his seat.

"Secretary Li, don't worry, I don't disagree. This. It's not a trivial matter to set up a hurry station in Hezibao, I have to report to the higher authorities and get permission, right? ”

"And how long will it take for you to get a result from this report?" Li Sixin sat down and continued to exert pressure: "I don't want to wait too long!" ”

"Soon, soon!" The courier boss gritted his teeth and gave the exact time: "Three days, you give me three days!" Okay? ”

"Okay, then wait for you for three days, if you don't believe it after three days, I'll go talk to other courier companies"

"There will definitely be news in three days"

"Auntie, didn't you say that this house is rented out, why did you suddenly come over and move things, this is already rented out?"

"Yes, the intermediary just told me that the big girl who came in the morning has taken a fancy to this store and has signed a contract, let me take things off, and the store will be renovated tomorrow!"

"Yo, this speed is really fast, do you know what store that big girl plans to open?"

"What kind of shop, it seems to be a lo-mei shop?"

"Lo Mei shop, that's okay." The shopkeeper next door breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then asked gossipily: "That big girl looks thin and weak, and she looks like she is also a sign, she doesn't look like she can do this job, auntie, is your news reliable?" ”

"Is that big girl the boss, she's just an errand, I heard that the boss behind the little girl has opened several stores, and the business is pretty good!"

"It's good to open a restaurant, we can change the taste occasionally, and I don't know if the lo-mei is delicious or not, and the price is expensive."

"I don't know the price, but it tastes pretty good."

"Yo, auntie, you said yes, then you can't be wrong!" After complimenting the shop next door, he asked, "Did my aunt go to the store to eat, is the store big?" How is the decoration going? ”

"It's not eaten in the store, a few days ago a relative in our city bought a new house to move in, please let us go over to be lively, the relative is to this lo-mei shop to buy braised vegetables back as a cold dish to entertain, what flavor and everything, delicious very "

"Auntie, I'm about to drool when you say it, when this store opens, no matter what the price is, I have to taste it!"

"Then you have to taste it, it's really delicious! If the price is not expensive, I will come here to buy some braised vegetables for the Chinese New Year this year, it is delicious and convenient, and the most important thing is that I can cook two dishes less and work a little less."

"Auntie, you're a really good idea, come, I'll give you a hand"
