Chapter 428 Chen Li really doesn't have much money(1/2)
If he were an executive running the Ideal Fried Chicken chain, Ren Xiaobo would have no interest.
Even though Ideal Fried Chicken is doing extremely well nowadays, no matter how good it is, it is still just a fried chicken store.
But why did Ren Xiaobo finally change his mind and become Chen Li's assistant?
The reason is very simple~ Although he is currently holding the title of assistant to the general manager of Ideal Food, in fact.
He is Chen Li's assistant!
The assistant to the general manager of Ideal Food and Chen Li's assistant are two different things.
Because this general aid only refers to the ideal food.
As for Chen Li's assistant, it's not just limited to Ideal Food.
From the beginning, Chen Li gave Ren Xiaobo the impression that he was a very smart young man with a certain business acumen.
Although it is not an exaggeration to praise a young and promising person~ To be honest, if Chen Li had not had a girlfriend, Ren Xiaobo would have even thought that Chen Li was the future son-in-law chosen by his boss!
It's not that Ren Xiaobo looks down on young and promising young people, but as a professional who has worked hard in society for many years, Ren Xiaobo knows very well that there is no comparison between young and promising young people and his boss's future son-in-law.
Who is Zhou Bowen? He is a person who can be called a rich man even in the country.
Therefore, when Ren Xiaobo faced Chen Li’s solicitation before, he was completely indifferent!
Because he knows very well that no matter how awesome Chen Li is, it will be difficult to surpass his boss.
Especially Chen Li is a fried chicken seller. It is ridiculous to compare a fried chicken seller with a real estate agent!
However, not long ago, by chance, Ren Xiaobo learned about Chen Li's other identity.
Major shareholder of Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd.!
Not only that, but Ren Xiaobo also learned that Chen Li and others had previously solved the Y2K problem.
This is different!
The reason is very simple ~ because the Y2K patch was reportedly sold for a huge sum of money.
It's not that Ren Xiaobo is snobbish, nor is it that he is greedy for the money that Chen Li might get.
But because Chen Li has all this money, his own strength is different.
Compared with the fried chicken restaurant owner that Ren Xiaobo knew before, Chen Li, who is now the major shareholder of a technology company, is actually a different concept.
The biggest difference between the two for Ren Xiaobo is that Ren Xiaobo is unwilling to work for a fried chicken restaurant owner.
But ~ he is willing to work as an assistant to a major shareholder of a technology company and owner of a chain of fried chicken restaurants.
There is an old saying that tells people to go to higher places and water will flow to lower places.
The reason why Ren Xiaobo was unwilling to work for Chen Li, who was just the owner of a fried chicken restaurant, was because he could see the future of chain fried chicken restaurants.
Even if Chen Li makes a fancy fried chicken chain, the upper limit is still there.
And compared with the real estate industry, it is much more difficult to achieve a certain level in the fried chicken chain industry.
But when Chen Li became the major shareholder of a technology company, it became a different concept.
Although it may seem like it just has an additional identity, the computer Internet is a high-tech industry.
These days, the computer Internet is a hot industry alongside real estate!
If Chen Li had used this identity to poach Ren Xiaobo from the beginning, he might have succeeded long ago.
Ren Xiaobo is not stupid either. Although he can be regarded as a direct descendant and confidant of Zhou Bowen.
However, Zhou Bowen has been working hard in the shopping mall for many years, and he is not the only one who has direct close relatives around him, including Ren Xiaobo.
If we really wanted to rank him, Ren Xiaobo's importance to Zhou Bowen wouldn't even be in the top five.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to be pulled out to top the tank before.
It's just that the previous Chen Li was not qualified enough to let Ren Xiaobo join him.
Ren Xiaobo will naturally choose to stick to it until there is no better choice. At least Zhou Bowen is still committed to him.
But it is definitely impossible to say that Ren Xiaobo really has no grudges at all.
Anyone who is pulled out to top the tank will feel a little uncomfortable.
But in the face of enough benefits, this discomfort is within the tolerable range!
This is also the reason why Chen Li couldn't poach Ren Xiaobo before, because the benefits offered by Chen Li were far less great in Ren Xiaobo's opinion than the benefits he would get from waiting to return to the real estate company!
It wasn't until some time ago that he learned Chen Li's true identity by chance.
It's a coincidence~ That day was the opening day of the fried chicken restaurant Shuangxin. On such occasions, Chen Li would usually come over and show up whenever he had time.
But that day, Chen Li didn't go to the new store because he had something to do, but Zhou Bowen happened to come over directly.
Because there was no contact in advance, Zhou Bowen, who came with a flower basket to congratulate the opening of the new store, ended up only seeing his own daughter.
After learning that Chen Li would not come that day, Zhou Bowen could only make a phone call to Chen Li.
The phone call was to ask Chen Li to have dinner with him, but a big businessman like Zhou Bowen would usually not call Chen Li if nothing happened.
Chen Li was busy preparing for the Ji Province branch next door. It was the busiest time, so he asked Zhou Bowen to speak directly.
It was under such circumstances that Ren Xiaobo overheard something that made him feel very ridiculous.
Zhou Bowen actually wanted to borrow money from Chen Li!
As one of the current executives of Ideal Fried Chicken, even if it is only temporary, Ren Xiaobo still knows the operating conditions of Ideal Fried Chicken very well.
Although the ideal fried chicken here is very profitable, it should be said that it is quite profitable.
With dozens of branches added together, the daily turnover of Ideal Fried Chicken easily exceeds six figures.
To use a popular saying nowadays, this ideal fried chicken can be regarded as a cash cow.
But even so, Ren Xiaobo still didn't understand why Zhou Bowen asked Chen Li to borrow money.
Even though the turnover of Ideal Fried Chicken is very high, and even the net profit is not expected to be too low, the corporate account of Ideal Fried Chicken chain has no money at all.
Because all the money was used to open branches!
In fact, with the current speed of Ideal Fried Chicken opening branches, there should still be a certain amount of surplus on the books.
But although Chen Li is a young man with great business talent, he is not without some shortcomings that young people should have.
For example, there are some impulsive things!
God knows how surprised Ren Xiaobo was when he learned that all employees of Ideal Fried Chicken would pay social insurance!
Even in real estate companies, only a small number of managers can enjoy this benefit.
Social insurance ~ these days is even an important criterion for distinguishing private enterprises from state-owned enterprises.
But Chen Li actually paid social insurance for all employees, including five social insurances and one fund!
To put it bluntly, Ren Xiaobo currently only enjoys three insurances and one housing fund.
Of course, Ren Xiaobo’s salary is higher than that of Ideal Fried Chicken employees, but it’s not that outrageous.
Nowadays, if the store manager and chef of an ideal fried chicken store can bring in three to five apprentices, his monthly salary can easily exceed 1,000 yuan, or even reach 2,000 yuan in good times.
This was in 1999, an era when the monthly income of ordinary people was still stuck in three digits, and even the wages of many white-collar workers were not as high as those of store managers.
Logically speaking, such a generous boss like Chen Li should be well-received by his employees.
In fact, this is indeed the case~ Chen Li has a very good reputation among ordinary employees, but in the eyes of managers like Ren Xiaobo, he is really a bit nonsense.
When other people make fast food, they want to suck the blood of customers and their own employees, but Chen Li is just trying to make a profit.
In Ren Xiaobo's view, Chen Li only needs to pay relatively good wages to his employees. As for social insurance, he can completely cut it off.
As long as you can cut off this part, you can save a lot of money every month.
Even the money saved is enough to open several more branches.
It seems that a boss like Chen Li is very conscientious, but in the opinion of Ren Xiaobo, who has enough experience, Chen Li is just messing around.
Today, Ideal Fried Chicken has less than a hundred branches and only a few hundred employees.
But as Ideal Fried Chicken develops faster and faster, with more and more branches and more employees, the social insurance that Ideal Fried Chicken will pay its employees will be astronomical in the future.
By that time, if Chen Li felt distressed, it would already be too late.
Therefore, in Ren Xiaobo's eyes, Chen Li, a businessman, is actually unqualified because he is not "black-hearted" enough!
Ren Xiaobo felt that Chen Li could be nice to his employees, but he couldn't be too nice.
There is only so much water in a pool. The more you give to employees, the less you give to shareholders.
It doesn't matter if the pool is small ~ after all, no one will care too much if there is too little water.
But when the pool gets bigger and there is more water in it, it's another story.
After all, Ideal Fried Chicken does not belong to Chen Li alone, and with the current development model of Ideal Fried Chicken, future financing is also a big problem.
Without financing, the possibility of Ideal Fried Chicken reaching the top of the industry is very small.
So~Ren Xiaobo’s calculations are actually better than anyone else’s!
