Chapter 2 Worry!
Yun Ruoruo always didn't think about tea and dinner in the few days that Fang Xu had just left, and her heart was empty. It wasn't until Fang Xu called her after she got home that she settled down, and in the days to come, Fang Xu called her every once in a while, and now the first thing Yun Ruoruo does when she returns home every day is to listen to the phone message.
Because there are more things in the company tonight, Yun Ruoruo was busy until more than nine o'clock before returning home under the escort of the bodyguard, after taking a bath, Yun Ruoruo was lazily lying on the sofa watching TV, and the phone rang.
Yun Ruoruo looked at the caller ID, hurriedly muted the TV with joy, and eagerly picked up the phone, "Hey, Ah Xu?"
"It's me. Ruoruo, did you just come back, what are you doing?"
"I just came back. Just watch TV when you're a little bored. β
"Do you have a lot of things to do in the hotel? pay more attention to your body, don't get tired. β
Listening to the concern in Fang Xu's words, Yun Ruoruo's heart warmed, and he was about to answer, but he heard a loud bang on the other end of the phone, followed by a noisy shout.
"Dead Ah Xu, who are you calling? Luo Luo is verbose, hurry up. β
Listening to that crisp and beautiful voice, you can definitely be a girl. Yun Ruoruo was stunned, according to Fang Xu's statement, this phone was in his bedroom, there was no extension, so a girl could openly break into Fang Xu's bedroom at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, what did this mean? Although Yun Ruoruo was very relieved about Fang Xu's personality, she was still a little worried inexplicably. was thinking about how to ask the truth without a trace, and a girl's voice came from the microphone, if Yun Ruoruo heard it so clearly, it was estimated that the other party was talking next to the phone.
"Xu, let's go, the big guys are waiting in a hurry. The voice was low and slightly hoarse, but there was an indescribable ecstasy, and there was a kind of indulgent power in the words. Yun Ruoruo's heart was raised violently, and at this time, the girl who spoke first snatched the microphone away, and the crisp words of the warbler sounded in Yun Ruoruo's ears: "Hey, who are you? Are you Ah Xu's classmate? Hello, I am his ......." β
Before she finished speaking, the phone was snatched away, and the girl shouted dissatisfiedly, "I hate it, dead Axu! I haven't finished speaking, you give it back to me, give it back to me." β
Fang Xu's voice came from the other end of the phone again, "Ruoruo, are you there?"
"In. Yun Ruoruo's tone was a little heavy, and her heart was beating faster, 'No...!?'
Fang Xu smiled: "Don't pay attention to these two crazy girls, the two of them love to make trouble with me." β
"Ah Xu, that, who was that just now...?" Yun Ruo wanted to ask about the relationship between the girl and Fang Xu just now, but he really couldn't ask when the words came to his lips.
Fang Xu seemed to understand, and said with a smile: "It's my cousin." β
It turned out to be my sister's 'sister', not my fiancΓ©e''s 'Wei', and it scared me to death. Yun Ruoruo patted her chest, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked curiously, "Ah Xu, do you still want to go out so late?"
"Hey, my cousin's classmate held a party at home, saying that they were going to play all night, and my cousin had to pull me there, no way, go and act as a flower messenger. Fang Xu's tone was quite helpless, and it could be heard that he loved his cousin very much.
"Let's go, let's go. Dead Ah Xu, dead Ah Xu, let's go, I'm going to be late. The girl with a crisp voice kept lying coquettishly beside Fang Xu.
Fang Xu smiled and said to Yun Ruoruo: "This girl is like this, she is not polite at all, and she never calls me cousin." Well, you have a good rest. I'm going to hang out with these two girls. β
"Hmm. And..."Yun Ruoruo stopped talking again, and finally whispered: "Xu, I love you." β
Fang Xu chuckled softly: "Me too." Good night. β
Yun Ruoruo always felt a little uneasy after hanging up the phone, and suddenly thought: That girl with a crisp voice is Fang Xu's cousin, but what about the other one? Is it also a cousin? I hope so. β
The main meeting room of the Golden Emperor is the monthly meeting of the Grand Hotel
Yun Ruoruo, who was sitting in the first place, listened carefully to the reports of various departments under her hands, sometimes smiling and nodding in appreciation, and sometimes putting forward some opinions. The main topic of today's meeting is: The development of the Golden Emperor in CZ has been stable, has entered the stage of sustained and stable development, how to take the next step, in other words: the recovered Golden Emperor has successfully dug the first pot of gold, so how to achieve the leap of capital next? Of course, in view of this problem, the top management of the Golden Emperor has been clearly divided into two factions: the conservative faction and the radical faction.
The Shoucheng faction believes that the Golden Emperor has begun to take shape, although the sales objective profit is amazing, but compared with other large catering giants, it is obviously weak, and the foundation is not stable.
Radicals believe that it is precisely because of the threat of large restaurant giants that Golden Emperor should expand its scale to cope with increasingly brutal market competition. With the current achievements of the Golden Emperor, it is far from meeting the conditions for keeping the success.
The two factions debated fiercely, in short, the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and neither could convince the other party, so nearly an hour passed, and nothing substantive was discussed.
Yun Ruoruo stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed his temples that were a little swollen because of the noise between the two factions, even if he was as wise as Yun Ruoruo on this issue, he didn't dare to make a decision easily, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, a decision will not be flawless even if it is carefully argued, put it in the market to operate, every decision has a certain probability of success, and conversely, there is a certain possibility of failure, and the so-called repeated arguments up and down are nothing more than to increase the probability of its success.
However, as far as Yun Ruoruo is concerned, she is still very much in favor of expanding the scale to achieve a leap in funds, but the most important thing is what method to take?
Of course, I've already told you about it, but since you're not paying attention, I'll say it again. In the face of the questioning of the Shoucheng faction, Zeng De, the head of the marketing department, said: "It is very simple, just like the common method in the catering industry at the same time, we can establish distributors all over the country in the form of chain franchise." It's like a Kender chicken McDonald's. As soon as the words fell, they were immediately approved by many people. Indeed, the Golden Emperor's brand management and marketing planning are very distinctive, and in just one year, the reputation and reputation have been well received.
Zeng De got everyone's support, and his face showed a slight smugness, but he didn't notice that Yun Ruoruo, who was sitting in the general manager's seat, shook his head gently.
"The franchise method is really good, but I am afraid it will not work at this stage. Director Song of the catering department was shocked, this is a young man in his twenties, tall and honest. Everyone was shocked when they heard this, Yun Ruoruo's eyes lit up, Zeng Deqi said: "Old Song, do you have any high opinions?" The ridicule in the words was very obvious.
Before the words were finished, someone chuckled, and Director Song's face suddenly became the same color as the pig's liver, his big hand touched the top of his head, and he smiled and didn't speak. It turns out that this Song is a wooden by nature, belonging to three guys who can't suppress a fart, and he can be promoted to the director of the catering department because he is already a national superchef at a young age (he was born in a family of chefs, and his grandfather's Lao Tzu is said to have cooked for Guangxu and is a first-class master in charge of the palace). And then he is down-to-earth, and he is really helpful, and the staff of the catering department are very convinced of him, Yun Ruoruo took advantage of the staff adjustment of the previous year to promote him to the minister, and usually holds meetings This guy never opens Chrysostom except for reporting the work of the catering department, and it is really unexpected for the big guy to take the initiative to speak today.
Hearing everyone's chuckles, Yun Ruoruo frowned slightly, coughed lightly, and the entire conference room was suddenly silent, and a few guys who couldn't help laughing covered their mouths with their hands, for fear that they would accidentally make a presumptuous voice and annoy the empress.
Yun Ruoruo said to Song Yiyi, "Director Song, everyone here is a family, if you have any ideas, just say it directly, I believe everyone is looking forward to your speech." β
When a few young people heard this, they said, "Yes, yes." Lao Song, don't be embarrassed to say anything, just say it, everyone is a colleague, and no one will laugh at you if you don't say it well. β
Receiving Yun Ruoruo's encouragement, Song Yiyi finally mustered up the courage to speak, "Mr. Yun, with the help of Mr. Yun's mysterious recipes, our catering department has repeatedly innovated in dishes. But there is also a serious problem. β
"Oh, serious problem? Yun Ruoruo asked with interest.
"That's right. Although our dishes are good, most of them are very expensive, so many customers are afraid to taste them, especially the cost of medicinal food is amazingly expensive. This is bound to cost us a lot of customers. But if you deliberately reduce the cost, I am afraid that it will smash our Golden Emperor brand again. I would like to ask Director Zeng, what is the economic status of CZ in the country?"
Zeng De might as well have such a question, thought for a while, and replied: "It should be within the top twenty." β
Yes, with the economy of CZ, only a very small part of the Golden Emperor can taste the golden signature dishes, not to mention other places, and now the catering industry is engaged in too many franchises, good and bad coexist, many investors are skeptical of the catering industry, Golden Emperor is only famous in CZ, our reputation has not reached the province or even the city, so I think the franchise is not the best way at present,
"That's a problem. Yun Ruoruo frowned and asked, "Director Song, do you have any good suggestions?"
Feeling Yun Ruoruo's attention, Director Song, an honest man, couldn't help but feel a little proud, glanced at his colleagues, looked at Yun Ruoruo's eyes were still respectful, and replied respectfully: " I do have a suggestion, when Mr. Yun first took charge of the Golden Emperor, he once said that it is necessary to rely on the Golden Emperor to grasp the taste of the rich, and now we have achieved this with the help of the Golden Emperor's unique and expensive dishes and elegant entertainment and leisure facilities; I still remember that Mr. Yun said that we should develop small snack bars and small restaurants to capture the stomach of ordinary people, and I take the liberty to say: We have not done enough in this regard. β
Yun Ruoruo nodded, Song Yiyi said well, she has also considered this problem, the Golden Emperor now only has four small restaurants, and it is far from the bold words that capture the stomach of the common people. But first, the competition in small restaurants is even more fierce, and second, the Golden Emperor and its affiliated companies are busy, so she doesn't pay much attention to it.
"Well said. But now that the competition in small restaurants is fierce, what do we have to compete with others?" Yun Ruoruo said with a smile, "Say what you think." β
Song Yiyi said busily: "For a small restaurant to have a prosperous business, the most important thing is 'good location' and 'signature dishes'. I have discussed with several chefs that our catering department can change the special dishes of Golden Emperor to be simpler and lower cost, and only need to retain half of the original taste, as the signature dish of our Golden Emperor's small restaurant. I dare to pack tickets, will definitely attract a large number of people, with the help of public opinion, a spread of ten to hundred, in this way, our Golden Emperor will attract the attention of all walks of life, rapidly expand the influence of the city and even the province, and so on these stabilized, and then start to plan the franchise thing, I think it will be twice the result with half the effort. β
Everyone in the audience nodded one after another, this is indeed a good way, but I didn't expect this Song Yi to be usually speechless, but he really has a unique opinion at a critical time.
Yun Ruoruo nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "The problem of the signature dish has been solved, but what is the problem of the location? Now there are many restaurants, and good locations such as near the university do not even have a place to stand." β
"Hmm. I have also considered this problem, and now it is not a good way for us to build our own restaurants, we can buy some restaurants that are in good locations but are not doing well and are facing closure. β
"Okay, I think you've got a plan in mind. Yun Ruoruo said to Director Song with a smile.
"Yes, our catering department can develop more than 30 special dishes that are acceptable to ordinary people according to the exclusive recipes of the Golden Emperor, and each restaurant only needs two or three special dishes to attract customers. In this way, in addition to the three restaurants we already have, we can also acquire nearly 10 restaurants. β
"Presumably, Director Song should have made a decision on which ones to acquire, right?" Yun Ruoruo said with a smile.
"Mr. Yun is wise. However, because I didn't know whether Mr. Yun agreed with my suggestion or not, I didn't put much effort into it, and just hurriedly investigated. Director Song said modestly, and then handed a piece of information in his hand to Yun Ruoruo through the secretary.
Yun Ruoruo opened the information and looked at it carefully for a while, nodded and smiled, looking very satisfied, and then handed the information to Minister Xue of the Evaluation Department, and said: "Minister Xue, you arrange for people to select the ten to twelve restaurants with the most development potential from the nineteen restaurants mentioned by Director Song, make an assessment of the feasibility of the plan, and report it to me." β
Then he said to Song Yi: "Director Song, you have done the company a lot of help this time." After Minister Xue's assessment, if there is no problem, you will be fully responsible for this matter with Director Bai of the marketing department. β
Song Yiyi and Director Bai nodded hurriedly.
Yun Ruoruo said with a smile: "Director Song, you have to work a lot hard. β
Director Song was busy and modestly said that it was all for the company, and it should be. The participants all looked at Director Song enviously, this suggestion was adopted by Yun Ruoruo, if it is really profitable, according to Yun Ruoruo's regulations, Director Song can withdraw 10% of the net profit, which is not a small amount, the most important thing is that if this is the case Jinhuang successfully realizes the capital leap and scale expansion, Song Yi is the company's number one hero, and fame and fortune are just around the corner.
Yun Ruoruo took in everyone's expressions, and he was also proud in his heart, there was no shortage of capable people under him, how to mobilize their enthusiasm to the greatest extent was a problem that high-ranking people should consider. For controlling talents, Yun Ruoruo has always had a good way.
Yun Ruoruo said with a smile: "As long as we work together, why worry about the Golden Emperor not prospering." Everyone, work hard. Okay, that's all for today's meeting, let's adjourn. β
Everyone said goodbye and went out one after another, but Yun Ruoruo left Lan Xiangyu behind.
Yun Ruoruo asked with a smile: "Xiangyu, what were you thinking just now?" β
Lan Xiangyu hurriedly raised her head and said, "I, I'm fine, I was thinking about something just now, and I was a little dazed when I thought about it, I'm sorry, Mr. Yun." β
The tone was a little stumbling, this was the first time she had participated in a meeting of the company's top management, originally she was a small deputy chief of security who did not have this qualification, but Yun Ruoruo valued her very much, so she was given this right, and she was now Yun Ruoruo's henchman in the eyes of others.
Yun Ruoruo smiled: "Think about it, let's listen to it, it's okay, just treat it as a chat, anyway, there are no outsiders." β
Lan Xiangyu hesitated for a while, saw the sincerity in Yun Ruoruo's eyes, moved in her heart, and plucked up her courage to say: "I heard Director Song say that I wanted to study special dishes just now, and somehow I thought of the side dishes in the supermarket, and I was distracted when I thought about it, I'm sorry, Mr. Yun." β
Yun Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, shook her head and smiled: "Okay, don't apologize." In the future, you should be careful when you have a meeting, you have been in office for more than a month, you have a good impression of you, the members of your security department have a good impression of you, which also proves that my vision is correct, I now let you participate in the company's high-level meeting is to hope that you can learn more about the company, and get to know more about the senior management, so as to better carry out the work, do you understand?"
"I understand, thank you Mr. Yun for your attention. Lan Xiangyu said gratefully.
"Alright, you go get busy. β
Lan Xiangyu nodded and turned around to leave, Yun Ruoruo's mind flashed, and she shouted fiercely: "Wait, Xiangyu." β
Lan Xiangyu was taken aback by her gaffe, stopped, turned to look at Yun Ruoruo, and said puzzledly: "Mr. Yun, you, do you have anything else?"
Yun Ruoruo stared at Lan Xiangyu tightly and said, "Xiangyu, just now you said that what did you think of when you heard Director Song say that you wanted to study special dishes?"
Lan Xiang was stunned, not knowing what Bai Yunruo meant, and replied honestly at the moment: "I thought of the side dishes in the supermarket." Any questions? β
Yun Ruoruo said anxiously: "It's a big problem. β
Lan Xiangyu was shocked, and she was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say. Yun Ruoruo realized her gaffe, hurriedly relaxed her expression, and smiled at Lan Xiangyu: "Xiangyu, thank you for reminding me, if this matter can be successful, you have to take the first credit." β
Lan Xiang said puzzledly: "Mr. Yun, what are you talking about?" β
It can be seen that Yun Ruoruo's mood is very good, she smiled and said: "What do you think, just by opening a few small restaurants and how many people will be served by us, if we open a side dish processing company, specializing in delivering some simplified Golden Emperor exclusive side dishes to the supermarket, then the profit is considerable, if you use advertising to build momentum and publicity, it may not be impossible to cover the entire province in less than half a year, so that the recruitment of franchisees throughout the country will be much smoother." β
"Side dishes?"
"Yes. As long as we contact the major supermarkets, with our 'Golden Emperor' signboard, we will definitely be rich in money. Yun Ruoruo smiled proudly, and then instructed the secretary to immediately summon the leaders of various departments to the conference room for a meeting to discuss the matter of opening a side dish processing company.
At the meeting, when Yun Ruoruo put forward her idea, everyone applauded. This is indeed a very good suggestion, if the success is not to mention the considerable profits, you can also use the name of the 'Golden Emperor' to dump these simplified side dishes to the general public, and then use the comments of the citizens to increase the influence of the 'Golden Emperor', which is definitely a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone.
As a result, this plan was quickly agreed by all the staff, so everyone was given orders to act, simplify the dishes, investigate the market, meet with the heads of the major supermarkets, and contact the food processing machines...... , Yun Ruoruo's plan soon unfolded in full swing.
Yun Ruoruo returned to the office, made a cup of tea, took a sip, sat on the sofa, looked at Fang Xu's photo, and looked satisfied. If this step is successful, then Golden Emperor can rush out of CZ City, and Golden Emperor will not only represent a hotel, but a brand. At that time, it will have a place in China's food industry.
Yun Ruoruofang thought to herself what kind of expression Fang Xu would have when he came back and saw this food processing factory, thinking about it, she smiled slightly, her jade hand caressed the photo, and her pretty face was full of infatuation.
