After returning home, Zhang Zhonghua quickly contacted the decoration company that had previously renovated the Causeway Bay store and the Hong Kong University store, and started to renovate today. The rent is more than 100 Hong Kong dollars a day, so there can be no delay.
After arranging the decoration matters, Zhang Zhonghua contacted Sister Liu's agency by phone and asked her to help with the recruitment of employees.
When I heard that Zhang Zhonghua said that he was opening the store in Central, and that the number of people he would recruit this time would probably be at least fifty or sixty, I immediately assured Zhang Zhonghua enthusiastically that the quality of the staff would be better.
Working in Central is a dream for many people, and many people are willing to go there even if the salary is a little lower.
After settling the matter of staff recruitment, Zhang Zhonghua took the ferry to the Kowloon Peninsula again. This time the store was bigger and the kitchen equipment needed to be more and bigger.
"Ahua, you're here, what's the matter with you this time?"
Boss Wang said kindly as soon as he saw Zhang Zhonghua. He is a young man who is very powerful. He has opened two stores in more than a month, so he is considered a big customer.
"Boss, I came here this time to see the equipment in the store. I am planning to open a store in Central. The store is relatively large, so I came to see the equipment." Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Ahua, you are very powerful. Now the store has opened in Central. Congratulations on getting rich.
Come on, I'll take you to the warehouse to have a look, the store is still not big enough and some equipment can't be moved in."
Hearing that Zhang Zhonghua had opened his store in Central, he immediately said in surprise, and then he couldn't wait to lead Zhang Zhonghua to the warehouse behind the market.
Zhang Zhonghua followed the boss and soon arrived at the warehouse area of the market. Trucks were constantly coming in and out of the entire warehouse area, and many workers were loading and unloading. It was very lively.
"This is the best large-scale equipment I can provide. It is completely sufficient for use in the store. And large hotels on Hong Kong Island basically use this type of equipment. The quality is absolutely guaranteed, but the price is not cheap!"
"
The boss introduced these equipments to Zhang Zhonghua one by one, and then said to Zhang Zhonghua.
Zhang Zhonghua took a look and found that the equipment was imported from Germany. Apart from anything else, there was absolutely no problem with the quality of the German equipment.
"Uncle, how much does the equipment I mentioned cost in total? How much discount can you give me? I want a lot of equipment, and there will be more in the future."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
In addition to the two new stores that will be opened, the central kitchen is almost out of capacity. Zhang Zhonghua already wants to find a large central kitchen in the factory room.
"Ahua, my profit margin for these big brands is not very big. I can give you 10% off at most. If it's any more, I won't make any money."
Zhang Zhonghua calculated it and realized that he didn't have enough money, so he said to his boss: "Uncle, to be honest, I don't have enough funds now. Can I pay part of the money first and then settle the payment later?"
All the money?"
The money in Zhang Zhonghua's hands can naturally be used to settle all the accounts at once, but after the settlement, it will be completely wiped out. He still needs to have some liquidity funds on hand for emergencies.
"No problem. I've heard about the CFC you drive in Tsim Sha Tsui. I'm not afraid of you running away."
The boss smiled and said to Zhang Zhonghua. It is normal for me not to settle the payment at once for such a large transaction, and in his opinion, Zhang Zhonghua is doing big business and will not rely on him for this small amount of money.
He had indeed heard of CFC's reputation. The business was booming, and Zhang Zhonghua would definitely not run away just for these tens of thousands of dollars.
So Zhang Zhonghua signed a purchase contract for equipment with his boss, left the market and returned home.
In the next half month or so, Zhang Zhonghua will be busy again. He needs to keep an eye on the decoration situation in Central, and the interviews and training of new employees must also be carried out simultaneously.
The next day, Zhang Zhonghua took the store manager Zheng Juan from Causeway Bay to the Central store.
Li Li took over as the store manager of the Causeway Bay store, and He Bingjie was preparing to take over the Hong Kong University store that could not be opened in a short period of time.
These two people were Zhang Zhonghua's earliest employees. At Zhang Zhonghua's request, Zheng Juan taught them through words and deeds. Although their talents were limited, they were more than enough to serve as a store manager.
After this period of contact, Zhang Zhonghua felt that Zheng Juan, who had worked in the service industry for many years, had no doubt about her ability.
It was then decided to transfer her to Central as a store manager, and also serve as the deputy manager of CFC Catering (Hong Kong Island) Company, and asked her to start recruiting clerks. In order to prepare for the large-scale expansion next year, the company's shelf will be expanded before the large-scale expansion.
It must be set up.
Moreover, Zhang Zhonghua can foresee that in the future, most CFC store managers at the grassroots level in Hong Kong Island will go to Central and Causeway Bay. These two places have the largest flow of people and are more suitable for selecting excellent employees.
After handing over the decoration and office of the Central store to Zheng Juan, Zhang Zhonghua also started running around. First, he negotiated again with some previous partners, including seasonings, napkins, paper boxes, packaging bags, plastic cups, straws, and delivery.
Boxes, etc., which CFC currently does not have the ability or need to produce on its own, has now seen a significant increase in purchasing volume. Naturally, Zhang Zhonghua was not satisfied with the price given before and asked for further price reductions.
Various core secret recipes involving secrets are still produced in-house in the central kitchen, but confidentiality measures need to be further strengthened. In the future, CFC will earn tens of thousands a day, and next year it will earn tens of thousands or even more. It is inevitable that someone will take risks.
In fact, the paper plate linings made by the chicken hunter and knife seller in his previous life were also quite good, but Zhang Zhonghua has not returned to making them now. The main reason is that the cost of color printing is a bit high these days.
As for the protection fee here in Central, it will not be lower than that in Causeway Bay. However, it is relatively close to the Government House, so it is relatively stable.
However, Zhang Zhonghua still arranged for the nearby "junior brothers" to host a banquet for several bosses, and said that he would pay the protection fee according to the standard, hoping that the bosses would be optimistic about the younger brothers and not come to cause trouble.
Although the CFC Central store costs more, it is not troublesome. All kinds of tables, chairs, benches, etc. have been made to order before. You just need to continue to make them.
What really needs Zhang Zhonghua busy is recruiting and training employees.
…
…
"Ahua, I didn't expect you to open a store in Central, and the area would be so big!"
Lou Xiao'e praised.
"That's for sure. The store in Central is more than twice the area of the one in Causeway Bay. But I plan to use the second floor as a temporary office space for the cfc catering company. After we move to an office building next year, the second floor will also be renovated.
It will be turned into a restaurant. I decorated the second floor according to the style of the restaurant. It can be used directly after a slight renovation next year."
Zhang Zhonghua proudly showed off that the prime location in Central was not far from the Governor's Palace. There were more foreigners and the public order was better, so business would definitely be prosperous in the future.
"Ahua, how is the decoration going?"
Lou Zhenhua also said to Zhang Zhonghua with great interest. But he was more concerned about practical things.
"It will take about ten days. Once the decoration is completed and the smell is gone, it can be opened for business." This chapter has been completed!
