Chapter 45 Refuse to Join
Chen Weize stared at the food on the table, his eyes full of novelty.
"Eat, what do you want me to do?"
Luo Pengxu looked at the two people's helpless expressions and couldn't help but think of the first time he came to Kaifeng Cai.
It’s almost the same expression. I’m used to using chopsticks in Chinese restaurants. This is the first time I saw this kind of American fast food. I didn’t know what to do with it.
He took off the wrapping paper of a hamburger, held it with both hands, and put it in his mouth.
The two brothers also followed suit. Although it was their first time to eat it, the happiness brought by this kind of high-calorie deep-fried food did not make people repulsive at all.
With the addition of a sip of iced Coke, the feeling of doubled happiness spreads among the three of them.
Seeing that the two of them were enjoying their meal, Luo Pengxu ordered another Family Bucket.
"Hello, now add 49 yuan to purchase the package, and you can get a three-dimensional Pokémon puzzle."
The waiter enthusiastically recommended it to Luo Pengxu.
He thought for a moment and added another set meal. The other party then presented a three-dimensional puzzle of Squirtle.
It is a small toy similar to a figure, equipped with a plastic base.
This is also what distinguishes Kaifeng Cai from other brands. They always launch some small toys from time to time to attract customers.
It was originally a routine prepared for children, but after actually practicing it, I discovered that this thing is also very attractive to some adults.
In particular, some small toys that are cooperated with Disney are the ones that can arouse girls’ desire to buy the most.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen toys given to me when I eat!” Hua Zi said with emotion.
Luo Pengxu played with the doll in his hand, thinking that if he could open a KFC in Baihu, the sales would be good.
I have never found a restaurant for two parents. I thought I would finish my work and go check it out. Who knows, I just met it on the road by chance and found the direction.
Kaifeng cuisine is indeed a good choice. Ingredients and other ingredients are provided by the headquarters, and the kitchen staff can take up the job after simple training.
You don’t have to worry about being hampered by chefs.
The most important thing is that this thing is convenient. Four parents can hire at most two waiters.
Moreover, this food is very attractive to people. If you don’t eat it for a while, you will miss it.
"Weize, how about opening a store like this in Baihu for our parents?" He asked Chen Weize.
Chen Weize hurriedly wiped his hands, took another sip of Coke, and swallowed the food in his mouth. "I think it's okay, this thing is so delicious! No one teaches me how to make this thing!" <
/p>
Luo Pengxu explained to him, "Such stores are all franchised. As long as you pay the franchise fee, the other party will give us the formula and production method."
"That's no problem. The franchise fee you mentioned is probably not cheap!"
Luo Pengxu doesn't know how much the franchise fee is, but his impression is that it should be a considerable expense.
He got up and ran to the front desk and asked the other party for the contact information of the headquarters responsible for joining.
I found a quieter location and called the other party.
Within a moment, he returned to his position, with a disappointed look on his face.
Chen Weize asked, "What's wrong? The price is very expensive?"
Luo Pengxu shook his head helplessly, "Whether it's expensive or not is the second most important thing. The main reason is that they won't open it for us!"
It turns out that there are two ways to join Kaifeng Cuisine at this time.
One is franchising, which means you pay the franchise fee and Kaifeng Cuisine provides formula and other technical support. As for how to operate it, they don’t care. But there are requirements for the city, and it must be a first-tier big city.
There is another model, which is direct transfer. The existing stores are packaged as a whole to the operator. This eliminates the need for site selection, decoration and other links, and only needs to maintain operations.
But no matter which model it is, when people hear it is a small place like Baihu, they reject it without even thinking about it.
This can be regarded as a kind of meaning of dying before leaving the battlefield.
And from what the other party said, the current business model of Kaifeng Cai is that most of them are directly operated stores, and there are very few franchises. The hidden meaning is that the franchise fee is very expensive and is not recommended.
Luo Pengxu was no longer in the mood to eat. He had a straw in his mouth and kept thinking about it.
"Kaifeng cuisine is like this, so I guess Golden Arches is about the same. If we can't do these two front lines, we can only settle for the next best thing and find a weaker brand to join."
In fact, the first Western-style fast food restaurant in Baihu City was opened around 2008. It has been operating for more than ten years without encountering any competitors.
It seems to be open in the city center, next to the shopping mall.
It wasn’t until around 2020 that some other brands began to move in, such as the one that offers jet packages.
"What's the name of the store that opened in 2008?"
In his previous life, after he graduated, he rarely returned to Baihu. Every time he went back, he always stayed at home to accompany his parents.
So I basically have no impression of what kind of stores there are in the city.
Shaking his head, he couldn't remember anything, so he had to say to Chen Weize, "If there is nothing else to do in the past two days, you and Huazi will go out and see if you can find a fast food restaurant like this with a lower entry threshold."
Because it was to resolve his parents' matter, Chen Weize didn't hesitate at all and happily agreed.
At this moment, Chen Weize's cell phone suddenly rang.
"It's my brother-in-law."
He spoke to the two of them and then picked up the phone.
"Well, here we are!"
"We are here in Zhongguancun, eating!"
"Then let me ask."
He covered the receiver of his cell phone and asked, "My brother-in-law wants to meet with us. Are you okay for a while?"
Luo Pengxu shook his head. This time he came to Yanjing to cooperate with Lin Shengcai.
Another important issue is to solve the legend. It has been almost a week since I got the code. This thing will not produce any value in my hands.
Only by going online quickly can we bring benefits.
If Jianghu Forum is a tool to gather popularity, then Legend will be the main source of income for the next period of time.
Whether you can have enough funds to expand in other directions depends entirely on it!
Chen Weize hung up the phone and said to them, "My brother-in-law said he found a place to have tea and would send me the address soon."
Luo Pengxu suddenly felt that the time was ripe, and there should be no big problem this time.
As a teacher, Chen Bin took the initiative to find a place to meet for tea instead of in his rental house like last time. This illustrates at least two problems.
First, his attitude is completely different from the last time we met.
The other is that he should spend money to arrange a meeting place because he wants something from himself.
From this point of view, as long as there is no problem in chatting today, the possibility of recruiting Chen Bin under his command is very high.
The depressed mood of being rejected by Kaifeng Cai just now disappeared.
