"In June, we will open twenty branches in Tianjin."

“And strive to increase the number of our branches to one hundred in July!”

"In addition, Assistant Zhang has already inspected the market in Hebei Province."

".!"

Although it was Su Mei's farewell dinner, in the end Su Mei still talked about work with Chen Li.

It can be seen that Su Mei, who works at Ideal Fried Chicken, is in much better condition than Su Mei, who works as a counselor at school.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that Ideal Fried Chicken currently has no competitors.

To put it bluntly, today's ideal fried chicken takes a smooth uphill road, and fights with the wind. Naturally, it is easier to fight and makes people feel more happy.

However, life cannot always be smooth sailing. Sooner or later, Ideal Fried Chicken will encounter competitors in the same industry, and sooner or later it will face various problems and difficulties.

But~ Chen Li believes that even if he encounters difficulties, Ideal Fried Chicken can break through these obstacles~!

What Chen Li needs to do is to point out the direction for the new ship of Ideal Fried Chicken that has just set sail, and to steer the ship's steering wheel!

"Don't expand too fast!"

"Although I said at the beginning of the year that I would open 200 stores this year, that's all I said."

"The number of branches depends on our talent pool."

"We must pay attention to employee training and food safety supervision!"

"Over in Hebei province, you can ask Assistant Ren and Secretary Zhang to go over first and start the preparations."

"."

"Hey~ wait a minute!"

Chen Li's words were interrupted, and he looked at Su Mei with some confusion.

At this moment, Su Mei was looking at Chen Li with a strange look. After realizing that Chen Li didn't realize what he had done wrong, Su Mei said helplessly:

"My boss Chen, did you remember something wrong?"

"Assistant Ren and Secretary Zhang are not employees of our fried chicken restaurant."

"Those two are Xiaoli and Uncle Zhou who want to come here to help~ Even their wages are not paid by us."

"That's fine if they are in Yanjing~ Do you still want to transfer them to Hebei Province?"

"What's going on in your head?"

"Well!"

At this moment, Chen Li suddenly remembered that this assistant and Secretary Zhang were not his employees at all.

In fact~not only are these two not our employees, they are even about to leave Ideal Fried Chicken.

But to be honest, Chen Li was a little reluctant to let go, and was even unwilling to let the two of them go back.

After all, these two are really capable.

Take Assistant Ren as an example. This person is currently responsible for inspecting the market and selecting store locations.

Except for the first few Ideal Fried Chicken stores, which were selected by Chen Li himself, the dozens of branches that followed were all inspected and selected by Assistant Ren.

Especially when it comes to choice, don't underestimate this task. In fact, whether a store's location is good or not can directly affect the store's final operation.

The theory that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley is not suitable for today's ideal fried chicken.

The location is too remote and there is too little traffic around, making it unsuitable for a fried chicken restaurant to survive. This is why Chen Li is obsessed with opening a fried chicken restaurant near the university!

A university is completely enough to support an ideal fried chicken restaurant.

However, universities are limited. If we all rely on universities, it will be difficult to achieve the goal of opening 200 branches of Ideal Fried Chicken this year.

Therefore, if you want to break through the bottleneck, you must open up new markets.

However, the operating philosophy of Ideal Fried Chicken is to buy rather than rent, so some prime locations such as commercial districts are not currently considered for Ideal Fried Chicken.

To be precise, it is not among the top choices for ideal fried chicken.

Today's first choice for an ideal fried chicken restaurant is definitely around the university, and the location is even better, so it doesn't matter if you spend a little more for it.

After all, Chen Li would definitely not lose money if he bought the shops around the university at today's price in 1999.

Even if Ideal Fried Chicken doesn't open in the future, Chen Li will be able to count the money just by collecting rent from these stores.

But there are only so many universities, but some vocational and technical colleges are also okay.

Even places near some large middle schools are within the range of ideal fried chicken options.

As for elementary school students, Chen Li had actually not considered it, but it was only 1999, and even in Yanjing City, the pocket money in the hands of elementary school students was limited.

For a slightly "expensive" food like fried chicken, the consumption power of primary school students is still somewhat poor.

If it were ten years later, Chen Lida could also include the area near the primary school as his first choice, but now it can only be regarded as his second choice.

Whether it is a vocational technical college or a second-choice business district or other store locations, careful market research is required.

For example, a middle school with a few thousand students implements a closed management system. Even if these thousands of students are potential users of a fried chicken restaurant, if they cannot come out, naturally the business will not be good.

Even if some disobedient students sneak out, they are only a minority.

These students simply cannot support the operation of a branch, so the location selection needs to be carefully examined.

The same principle applies to some business circles. The locations in these business circles are definitely good, but they involve cost issues such as rent and labor, so careful calculations and considerations are also required.

Especially the shops in these prime locations~ few people choose to sell them, after all, the rents in these locations are quite high.

Even if it is on sale, it is still a very high price, which is not suitable for today's ideal fried chicken.

Therefore, the job of an assistant can be said to be quite important.

But with the ability of being an assistant, he is fully qualified for this job.

It's just that this person is a close confidant of Zhou Xiaoli's father, and Chen Li can't dig him out at all.

Equally important is Secretary Zhang!

To be honest, with Secretary Zhang's ability, not to mention just being responsible for the training of Ideal Fried Chicken, even if he was asked to serve as the general manager of Ideal Fried Chicken, Chen Li felt that he was completely qualified.

But precisely because the other party's ability was so outstanding, Chen Li knew very well that he would not be able to keep the other party, and Zhou Xiaoli's father probably would not agree.

Zhou Xiaoli's father sent Secretary Zhang here before, actually because Secretary Zhang had just given birth to a child.

Because her original secretarial job was relatively tedious and busy, and Zhou Xiaoli’s father and Secretary Zhang have been good friends for many years, Zhou’s father asked Secretary Zhang to help with the training and, by the way, help the baby!

Therefore, when Secretary Zhang often goes to training, he actually takes his children with him.

But once Secretary Zhang finishes breastfeeding her child, she still has to go back to work at the real estate company.

In fact, Zhou Xiaoli's father wanted to transfer Secretary Zhang back several times, but because Secretary Zhang's child was too young, this failed.

Therefore, whether it is Assistant Ren or Secretary Zhang, they are talents that Chen wants but cannot get.

This made Chen Li very depressed! But there was nothing he could do.

Because compared to fried chicken restaurants these days, anyone who is not a fool would choose a real estate company.

Even though Ideal Fried Chicken is now quite large, it is still a bit tasteless compared to the real estate companies of today.

These days, the two hottest industries in China are the Internet and real estate.

Unlike the Internet, which most people are still exploring, the real estate industry has already been recognized by the Chinese people.

If you let a businessman make a choice: open a fried chicken restaurant or engage in real estate?

There is no comparison at all!

In the same way, as a migrant worker, there is no comparison between working in a fried chicken restaurant or food company or working in a real estate company.

Unless they are food-related professionals, no one will choose a fried chicken restaurant.

Moreover, both Assistant Ren and Secretary Zhang have worked hard in the real estate industry for many years, and their life goals and future career plans are also in that industry, so unless Zhou Bowen fires them, otherwise.

Well~ even if Zhou Bowen opens them, they will only choose to work in another real estate company instead of working in Chen Li's fried chicken restaurant.

So at this time, the talent pool of Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant is particularly important.

"Well, let Xiao Zhang continue to stay in Hebei Province!"

"Besides, leave the training to Wang Chenglin!"

"He can now completely take charge of his own business."

Chen Li didn't think too much. After realizing what mistake he had just made, he directly gave another solution.

"Wang Chenglin?"

"Are you going to hand over future training matters to him?"

".Okay~ He can indeed!"

Su Mei tilted her head and nodded after thinking for a while. It was obvious that she also quite recognized Wang Chenglin's ability.

"Yeah~ This guy is probably not interested in doing anything else, but he wants to do training."
