Zhang Zhonghua and Lou Yongjia knew each other in their early years, but Lou Yongjia was much older than Zhang Zhonghua, and Lou Yongjia came to Hong Kong Island in advance for development a few years ago. Since then, the two have not seen each other for several years.
When Lou Zhenhua came to Hong Kong Island, he told Lou Yongjia everything that happened in Sijiu City, including that Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao went to ransack the house after they left Sijiu City, and that Zhang Zhonghua later directly killed Xu Damao.
Although Xu Damao's death was caused by his own death, it could be regarded as revenge for the Lou family. Taken together, Zhang Zhonghua's actions made Lou Yongjia very grateful to Zhang Zhonghua, his little brother.
In his opinion, if it had not been for Zhang Zhonghua's full help, it is hard to say what would have happened to his parents and sister Lou Xiao'e, and whether they would have been able to leave Sijiucheng safely.
So as soon as he saw Zhang Zhonghua, Lou Yongjia gave him a warm hug. If it weren't for the age difference between Zhang Zhonghua and Lou Xiao'e, he would have wanted to turn Zhang Zhonghua into his brother-in-law.
"Ah Hua, where did Xiao'e go today?"
Seeing Lou Yongjia greeting Zhang Zhonghua warmly, Lou Zhenhua also smiled, and then asked Zhang Zhonghua.
"Sister Xiao'e and I went to visit the store, and then we will prepare to register the company."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Okay, if you don't have enough funds, just tell Uncle Lou. Uncle Lou doesn't have anything else, but he still has some. By the way, what are you going to call your hotel?"
Father Lou asked Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.
What's the name? Zhang Zhonghua really hasn't thought about it yet, but the name must be easy to remember and catchy. And the hotel's logo must be conspicuous. Maybe it should also be an old man, but it seems that the old man has already appeared!
Why don't you show off your full body?
As soon as this idea appeared in his mind, Zhang Zhonghua drove it out of his mind.
No, no, it’s too shameful!
After extinguishing the terrible thoughts in his mind, Zhang Zhonghua said to Lou Zhenhua: "I remember there is a fast food chain in Chou country called KFC. Let me call this one CFC, which is the abbreviation of Cheerful Fried, which means Happy Fried Chicken in Chinese."
"This name is good, cfc. It's easy to remember, sounds nice, and gives people a very high-end feel." Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, very satisfied with the name Zhang Zhonghua chose.
Everyone also laughed. The name CFC sounded like it had a high-end and classy feel.
"How is the search for a restaurant location going?"
Lou's mother asked Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.
"I have taken a fancy to a business on the ground floor. The location is quite good. It is a morning tea shop. Part of the original decoration can be used directly. However, it costs HK$270,000 to buy it and only HK$800 a month to rent it." Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Well, if you can buy it, it's better to buy it. This is your first store. If you make your hotel really big and strong, this first store will be very important, and you will have to buy it sooner or later.
! As for the price, we should be able to negotiate a lot. If you don’t have an urgent matter to leave a store in this location, or you are in a hurry to use money, generally no one will sell it. If you pay it off in one go, you can still negotiate a lot.”
Father Lou thought for a while and said to Zhang Zhonghua.
"Okay, Uncle Lou, I will register the company tomorrow and complete the procedures." Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Okay, I've arranged for someone to cook Sichuan food today, so you can stay and eat too. Sigh... Even though I've been here for a year, I really can't stand eating sweets every day."
Lou Zhenhua said helplessly.
After Zhang Zhonghua had a Sichuan meal at Lou's house, he returned to his residence and began to sort out the information needed to register a company.
The next day, Zhang Zhonghua took a car to Central. It was more convenient to register a company on Hong Kong Island in Central. There were a lot of various law firms and accounting firms.
Zhang Zhonghua walked into a law firm he had chosen before and saw a young, beautiful and plump girl standing at the front desk of the firm.
"Hello, sir, do you have an appointment?" The girl at the front desk's eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Zhonghua coming in, and she asked Zhang Zhonghua with a smile that you recognized on her face.
"I don't have an appointment. I need our firm to register the company as an agent. Who should I contact?" Zhang Zhonghua asked.
“Do you want to register a local company in Hong Kong Island or an international company?”
"Mainly business related to internationalization."
Hong Kong is originally a tax haven, but it still has to register some companies abroad, at least in Southeast Asia, but forget it in Europe and the United States. He really can't afford to offend them there, and maybe they will be confiscated one day. Then
Just Barbie Q.
Hearing that Zhang Zhonghua had already handled international business, the girl at the front desk took Zhang Zhonghua to the office of a lawyer named Yang Zongyue.
Zhang Zhonghua wonders whether he will also form his own team of lawyers and build an invincible Nanshan Pizza Hut after he makes his company bigger and stronger in the future.
"Hello Zhang Sheng, what business do you need to handle?"
"Hello, Lawyer Yang, I need to register an offshore fund and offshore company, and also register a local catering company in Hong Kong Island," Zhang Zhonghua replied.
"No problem, this is easy to handle. We will try our best to reduce your tax troubles, Mr. Zhang. Are you ready with the information?" Lawyer Yang said with a smile.
"The two offshore ones are called Panda Fund and Panda Catering Company. The name of the catering company registered in Hong Kong Island is Cheerful, Fried Company, and the trademark is cfc. This is the company information I prepared."
Zhang Zhonghua handed the materials he had prepared in advance to Lawyer Yang. No one should have registered such a distinctive name, otherwise he would have heard of it at least.
"There are no questions asked about the names of the three companies and they can be registered."
Lawyer Yang called and arranged for someone to check whether the names were repeated. After a while, he answered a few more calls and said to Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.
"He Sheng, your trademark painting is really interesting, and it matches the names of the three companies you are planning to register!" Lawyer Yang said with a smile that was hand-drawn by Zhang Zhonghua in his hand.
Of course it’s interesting. This is a tested cartoon image, and I have optimized it. In the middle of the circular icon is a big head of Kung Fu Panda, and the outer circle is the full spelling of cheerful and fried. There is also an art style below Kung Fu Panda.
The abbreviation of cfc.
Also included is a complete portrait of Kung Fu Panda.
Although Zhang Zhonghua also thought about using his own image as a trademark, he quickly threw this somewhat troubling idea out of his mind.
"I drew these blindly by myself when I was free, to make you laugh."
Zhang Zhonghua said politely.
"How do you need to deal with the overall shareholding structure of the three companies you plan to register?"
Lawyer Yang couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhonghua's hand-painted trademark, and then started talking about business.
"Panda Fund wholly owns Panda Catering, and Panda Catering controls CFC. Just deal with it like this first. You can make adjustments as needed in the future."
That's enough for now. We'll discuss the details later when the company becomes bigger and stronger. Leave the matter to Yang Zongyue and Zhang Zhonghua left the accounting firm humming a song all the way.
There is a set of procedures that you don’t have to do at all, and you can register several companies for just a few Hong Kong dollars, which is really worth the money.
Zhang Zhonghua believes that in the future, the CFC in his hands will definitely be willing to kick, punch, and sell swords. As for Dicos, Burger King, Pizza Hut, etc., he will be a younger brother.
At present, major fast food companies have not yet expanded internationally. It was still rare to buy in Asia before. In the past few years, they have to dominate the entire East Asia and Southeast Asian markets at all costs. In the future, fast food companies with big brands such as Daji will be willing to
When Asia expands its market, it can wait for work.
The future is bright, but reality may be a little cruel.
Seeing that there was nothing going on, Zhang Zhonghua started wandering around Central. It had been more than half a month since he came to Hong Kong Island and he had not taken a good stroll around Hong Kong Island, so he thought of taking a stroll in Central.
I bought a bottle of Coca-Cola and started drinking it. However, Zhang Zhonghua still liked to drink Pepsi-Cola relatively late. There was no other reason than that.
The taste of today's cola is somewhat different from that of later ones, but it tastes much better than the various xx colas that came later. You can buy some and make cola chicken wings.
etc?
Coke chicken wings?
It seems that this dish is not available yet? It can be sold as a special feature in cfc. I am really a clever little guy.
Zhang Zhonghua marveled at his wit, and at the same time lamented that it is really not easy to open a company. Looking at the high-rise buildings in Central, he felt that the pressure was very huge. Someone Li said that the first pot of gold in life is the most difficult
There is nothing wrong with making money.
It's so difficult in this era. A newspaper costs only a dime. Mr. Jin would probably starve to death if he only relied on Ming Pao.
His publishing and film and television drama copyright licensing expenses are the bulk of his expenses. He probably relies on these incomes to maintain the normal operation of Ming Pao.
As for the current TV stations, let alone mention them. Even in Hong Kong Island, TV is not popular. Although the salary in Hong Kong Island is higher, the average person has saved money for a long time to buy TV. The TV series produced have very little advertising and sponsorship.
The movie is somewhat better.
Most of the light industries such as clothing are OEMs for foreign brands. Until Zhang Zhonghua returned from time travel, he did not see any brands in Hong Kong Island and other developed areas that could compete with big European and American brands.
Since Hong Kong Island is now an era of British and Chinese tycoons, including newspaper tycoons, clothing tycoons, real estate tycoons, plastic flower tycoons, and the four major shipping tycoons, then I, Zhang Zhonghua, will reluctantly become a catering tycoon and a fast food king.
A few days passed quickly in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Zhonghua also started preparations for opening his own store. Previously, he took several top chefs to research dozens of various recipes.
It is unlikely that the formula will be leaked, and its own products will launch a new product in a few years, slowly defeating the two fast food giants.
However, we are only planning to open one store now. We do not need too advanced modern assembly line equipment. Small equipment is enough. We will purchase automation equipment when there are more branches in the future.
Zhang Zhonghua went to the largest market in Mong Kok to buy tableware and kitchen utensils. Many of the equipment needed to be customized by himself.
"Lao Shi, how much does this meat grinder cost?"
Zhang Zhonghua came to a seemingly large kitchenware store and saw that there were quite a lot of various things inside. No matter whether it was various European and American or hot summer kitchenware and tableware, he couldn't find it here.
"Beautiful boy, this is a large-scale equipment that ordinary stores cannot use. You look like you are someone who does big things. My store is the largest and most complete store in the entire market. I will list everything you need at once, and then we will discuss the price.
.”
As soon as the boss saw Zhang Zhonghua coming up, he asked about the price of a large piece of equipment. Knowing that it was not for home use or for use in a small restaurant, it should be a big business, so he said to Zhang Zhonghua enthusiastically.
"Lao Shi, I need a meat grinder, a mixer, an oven, a kneading machine, a freezer, an electric fryer...etc., they all need to be large!"
Zhang Zhonghua looked at the items in the store. It was said to be the largest and most comprehensive, and the items were quite complete. He thought that if he could buy them all in one store at a reasonable price, he bought them in this store, so he said to the boss
Things you need.
"You want a lot of things, handsome. I don't know what to call them." When the boss heard that Zhang Zhonghua wanted so many things, he immediately asked Zhang Zhonghua kindly what to call him.
"Hello, old man, my name is Zhang Zhonghua, you can just call me Ahua. I will need a lot of equipment in the future, so you have to give me a discount."
"Ahua, all of my equipment is imported, and the price is very reasonable. Generally speaking, you can't negotiate the price, but seeing that you are so sincere, I will give you a 10% discount."
10% off? Are you kidding me? Is this also called a discount? There was no other way, Zhang Zhonghua could only continue to speak.
"Lao Shi, please give me some more profits. This is our first time working together. There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future!"
"15% off, it can't get any lower. This is already the lowest price in Hong Kong Island. If you ask other stores, there is no one lower than mine!"
The boss frowned and thought for a moment, then gave a 15% discount result.
Zhang Zhonghua looked at her expression and knew that he couldn't give in much anymore, so he asked, "Lao Shi, how much does it cost in total? There are also some cleaning tools. How many days will it take to modify them according to the size I mentioned?" Zhang Zhonghua asked
asked.
"Meat grinder, mixer, kneading machine, oven, freezer...the total price is 13,000 Hong Kong dollars after discount. Pretty boy, I can deliver it to you whenever you want."
The boss took an abacus and calculated it, and finally got this price, which can make a lot of money.
"Five days later, send it to No. xx, Building xx, xx Building, Causeway Bay..."
Zhang Zhonghua left the address where he rented a house for 300 Hong Kong dollars. This was the location of the central kitchen he chose. Zhang Zhonghua paid the deposit and left his contact number with the boss and left.
This money is really too much to spend. I bought a store as the main store and rented two more stores as branches after the break. The branches also need to purchase a lot of equipment, such as ovens, freezers, electric fryers and other equipment.
It's a lot of money again.
Zhang Zhonghua once again customized dinner plates, packaging bags, cartons, plastic cups, toilet paper and other items. Although each of these items is not very expensive, the required quantity is large and the consumption is too high, so it costs a lot of money.
