Chapter 135: Xia Yuhua’s Thoughts
Otherwise, sometimes Guan Haiyang would think that Tiezhongqi had also traveled back in time from later generations?
Many of his ideas were very forward-looking. In 1993, his idea of opening hot pot restaurants all over the world was approaching maturity.
Four basic ideas for chain hot pot restaurants were put forward: factory base ingredients, store chaining, operational capitalization, and globalization of operations.
You know, this was 1993.
Zhang Yong, the founder of Haidilao who was able to actually implement this idea in later generations, is still working as a welder at the Sichuan Tractor Factory.
It wasn't until 1994 that Zhang Yong opened a table in the county seat and started selling spicy hotpot.
And now, just in the middle of 1991, Tie Zhongqi's mind has already begun to brew this project that will only come to fruition decades later.
Moreover, his thoughts and ideas are very different from Haidilao's basic operation routine, which can be said to be quite forward-looking.
But the problem is that Tiezhongqi has ideas that transcend the times, but he does not have the practical means and corresponding capital support to take root in this era.
He has too many ideas and they are too complicated. He even wants to build a chip to compete with the beautiful country.
If you go beyond one step, you are a genius; if you go beyond ten steps, you are a madman; if you go beyond a hundred steps, you are a criminal.
So Tie Zhongqi spent more than ten years in prison because he boasted too much and couldn't take it back.
Back to the topic of hot pot, in later generations, he actually cooperated with Shuzhong University to create a "Hot Pot System Engineering Research Institute", preparing to scale up, systematize, and reshape Shuzhong hot pot in all aspects, and then promote it to the world.
.
His goal is to increase sales to 10 billion within five years.
What is the concept of 10 billion in nine years!
Later, Haidilao was listed in Hong Kong City in 2018, and its revenue the year before it was listed only reached 10.7 billion.
It can be seen from this how big the cowhide of the Tiezhong Banner is blown.
Of course, his great hot pot chain concept officially declared bankruptcy a year after it was announced.
The reason is that the capital chain is broken.
But the real reason is far more than just a broken capital chain.
After listening to the story, Guan Haiyang did not ask Tiezhongqi, but instead asked Xia Yuhua.
"Sister Xia, what do you think of Lao Tie's idea?"
Xia Yuhua is not a housewife who has never seen the world, but a business woman who has followed Tiezhongqi for many years.
She generally does not disclose her true thoughts to business partners with whom she has not had close contacts.
But seeing the clear eyes of the young man in front of him and the smile on his lips, Xia Yuhua shook his head for no reason.
"To be honest, his idea is good, but I think it's a bit too fast to open a chain store now."
Guan Haiyang chuckled and said to Tiezhongqi: "From what I know about you, since you came up with the idea of this chain store, you must not be targeting one city and one county!"
Tie Zhongqi slapped his hand on the table and laughed loudly: "Sure enough, the person who knows me best is you. That's right, if I want to open one, I will open a nationwide chain. What the hell is going on in one city or one county!"
The catering industry cannot be compared with the technology industry, and profits are not that high. How many restaurants can be opened in a city? When will the funds be withdrawn?
If it wants to bloom, let it bloom everywhere in the country!”
Not bad! His imagination has not yet gone abroad.
But even so, Xia Yuhua's eyes looked a little dizzy when he looked at Tiezhongqi.
Standing up, Guan Haiyang refilled Tie Zhongqi's cup with tea and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Lao Tie's idea is good, but at this stage I agree with Sister Xia that we shouldn't act too hastily.
Various social supporting facilities in the Mainland are not yet complete.
Opening a hot pot restaurant seems simple, but a series of issues such as craftsmanship, distribution, procurement, quality control, franchise management, service, etc. need to be dealt with.
If there is a problem in one link, the entire chain will not run smoothly.
Factory-based base ingredients seem very simple, but how do you distribute so much base ingredients to stores across the country?
Current logistics simply cannot meet such timeliness requirements.
Without the support of convenient communication methods, how can we ensure that the management of stores in various locations meets the group's requirements?
Not to mention quality control and service, they are completely beyond control.
The strategic plan proposed by Lao Tie is too far ahead of the times and has no possibility of being implemented!"
He can make this assertion now, not only based on the established facts of later generations, but also the objective result of his thinking and analysis.
The flatbread is wonderful and delicious to make, but there is no stove, insufficient fuel, and the quality of flour is not good. No matter how you make it, it will not be delicious.
Xia Yuhua's eyes lit up.
"How's it going, Lao Tie! You also said that Xiaoguan will definitely support your idea. I think Xiaoguan thinks much more clearly than you do.
You know that when a base material is standardized, the actual operation behind it is also a science, not to mention the quality control and service that Xiaoguan mentioned.
You and the franchise store are thousands of miles apart, how do you manage their service attitude? How do you know if there is any problem with the ingredients?
This is selling food, what should a customer do if he accidentally eats something bad?
There are so many stores, if something goes wrong, can you take care of it?"
She was very excited. She originally thought that Guan Haiyang and Tiezhongqi could reach a cooperative relationship, and their routines should be similar.
Unexpectedly, this young man pays more attention to implementation and integration with reality than Tiezhongqi.
She really knows Tiezhongqi very well, and this time the aircraft business has been completed, it has already made him fly.
Xia Yuhua is the one who knows the inside story and understands that the leader of this business is actually Guan Haiyang.
But for some unknown reason, Guan Haiyang didn't want to show his face, and instead gave all the light to Tiezhongqi.
Tiezhongqi has expanded so much that the rate of expansion far exceeds the "speculation and dumping" operation that sent them to prison in the 1980s.
Xia Yuhua was filled with uneasiness and worry, fearing that Tiezhongqi would make the same mistake again.
She was not yet married to Tie Zhongqi at that time, and they were just subordinates, so she was already implicated.
This time the bullshit is even bigger. If it breaks, the whole family will face disaster.
This time she insisted on coming over to meet Guan Haiyang.
She wanted to see what this young man who could make Tie Zhongqi praised endlessly was like, and whether he could boast as well as Lao Tie.
Now this worry is gone at all.
Seeing the Haitian Transportation Company that Guan Haiyang founded now, the office facilities in these companies were inconspicuous to Tiezhongqi, but it made her feel at ease.
Coupled with Guan Haiyang's objective and comprehensive analysis just now, it made her feel more settled.
If their husband could cooperate with Guan Haiyang and put his dream of flying in the sky into reality, she wouldn't have to worry so much.
Chapter completed!
