Chapter 423 The second branch opens and encounters trouble
The second branch of Youran Farm Baozi Pu, located on Jinmaqiao Street in Xicheng District, opened on a Saturday morning in mid-May after careful preparations.
The new branch has a total of two floors, with a business area of about 120 square meters, as well as a kitchen, warehouse and office of 50 square meters. The store manager is Xu Wenfeng and has a total of 13 employees.
The staff composition is still based on the old-to-new approach. The head office dispatches a few and recruits some others, who are trained and put on the job.
As for food production, it still follows the previous distribution model. The logistics department of the main store sends out vehicles every day to transport the prepared bun fillings and special water to the branches, and then the kitchen masters of the branches process the finished products.
The first branch on Shen'an Street in the north of the city has been implementing this model for a long time, and it has proven to be effective and very efficient.
The opening ceremony of the new store was still low-key, with two red banners hanging and four flower baskets placed at the door. The store also only arranged an event offering a 20% discount on purchases that day.
However, because the first two bun shops have been operating for a long time, their reputation has already spread to Xicheng District, and they are located in a prosperous commercial area. Therefore, there was no lull on the first day of opening. Although there was no business throughout the day,
It's a bit hot, but it's pretty good.
The boss Li Youran also came to the opening in person, but only stayed for half an hour. He walked around and had a brief chat with Xu Wenfeng, saying that he believed in his ability and encouraged him to work hard, and then drove away from the backyard.
In the next few days, the branch operated normally. With the delicious food and clean and tidy dining environment, the flow of people began to gradually increase.
Store manager Xu Wenfeng is also very ambitious and determined to run the store as prosperously as the first branch.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, trouble came to the door.
In the afternoon of this day, Li Youran was surfing the Internet in the new office on the third floor of Baozipu South Store, looking up relevant information about Wenwan Walnuts.
The new office is on the east side, which is towards the backyard of Baozipu. It is much quieter than the previous one facing the street.
At this moment, Aunt Qi knocked on the door and came in with a worried expression. She told him that the second branch was in trouble.
"Haven't the fire protection, sanitation, and industrial and commercial departments over there have taken care of it? Is there any one missing?" Li Youran asked strangely. The new branch was fully prepared before the opening, and all relevant yamen were dispatched.
People went to pay homage.
"It's not these, it's the gangsters on the street who are causing trouble." Aunt Qi sat on the sofa at his signal and reported the situation in detail.
It turns out that yesterday morning, three gangsters who claimed to be the Black Panther Gang came to our door and claimed that Jinmaqiao Street was their territory. They were responsible for covering all the shops here, so they should charge a certain protection fee. They also said that the Baozi Shop
Business was booming, so he offered eight thousand yuan a month.
The store manager Xu Wenfeng came forward to deal with them, but they couldn't reach an agreement. The three gangsters then began to cause trouble in the store, lying on the dining table and chairs, spitting everywhere, throwing cigarette butts everywhere, and even took off their shirts to reveal the tattoos on their arms, which frightened them.
Many customers were lost.
Xu Wenfeng was very angry and asked his clerk to call the police.
After the local police station received the call, it took half an hour to send someone over. As soon as they saw the police car, the gangsters immediately sat back on the dining chairs in a polite manner. When Xu Wenfeng led the police to identify them, they said they were here to eat.
He is a very well-behaved person, and all the blackmail and blackmail stuff is completely untrue.
The police just lightly warned the three people, and the gangsters stood up and left after making promises. However, based on Xu Wenfeng's observations, he believed that these people should know each other. I'm afraid the matter will not be settled that easily.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, the three gangsters came back with an even worse attitude. They said that the Black Panther Gang had deep roots in the west of the city and could eat both black and white. If the Baozi Shop refused to drink wine as a penalty, don't blame them for being rude.
Xu Wenfeng had no choice but to be conciliatory. He said that the store did not have such expenses and needed to report to the main store for approval. After hard talk, the gangster agreed to a two-day grace period.
After hearing this, Li Youran roughly understood what was going on.
When doing business outside, this kind of thing is inevitable, but those guys opened their mouths a little wider.
He frowned and thought about countermeasures.
You can't give in. Most of the gangsters are dishonest and have hard-to-satisfy desires. Once you have started, there will be no end. You must deal with it severely.
But since we are all civilized people here, it is certainly not a mistake to take action directly, nor is it against the rules. Then we have to find a way.
So, he told Aunt Qi what he meant.
Aunt Qi also nodded in agreement and suggested talking to Mr. Fang.
"Forget it, Mr. Fang has already helped a lot, so don't bother me all the time. By the way, let's find Lao Hao. I heard that he not only worked in the industrial and commercial department, but also has a close relationship with the Municipal Public Security Bureau." Li
Leisurely shook his head and changed his target.
Old Man Hao has become a frequent visitor to the teahouse. He eats and drinks well every day and enjoys a 40% off gold card. Asking him for help is not too much.
Aunt Qi said that her old man was familiar with Old Hao, so let him come forward. There was also the teahouse manager He Lingling, who looked up and looked down every day, so it was easier to talk.
Li Youran thought for a moment and then agreed. The two discussed for a while and decided to send Uncle Qi and He Linling to explain the situation to Old Man Hao.
After the details were settled, Aunt Qi immediately stood up and left.
Two days later, the news came that the matter was settled.
Xu Wenfeng followed the phone number left by the gangster and asked them to come to the bun shop after it closed to discuss, hoping that the price could be better.
Without alerting the local police station, the Xicheng Public Security Bureau directly sent people to the Jinmaqiao Baozipu branch to ambush. They also placed small recording and camera equipment in a hidden part of the lobby.
When the three gangsters from the Black Panther Gang came to the door, Xu Wenfeng, accompanied by a waiter, negotiated with them, and during the process, he deliberately guided them to say something meaningful.
The negotiation quickly collapsed. The gangsters broke out on the spot and even took out their police officers and threatened them. At this moment, the ambushing police suddenly rushed out and captured them in one fell swoop.
At that time, an electric baton was used to greet the other party because he was resisting arrest with force. Screams rang out repeatedly in the store.
The police officer leading the team checked the audio and video materials and expressed satisfaction. He said that the evidence of armed extortion was strong enough, and this was enough for several guys to have a good drink.
Subsequently, the three gangsters were handcuffed, put into a police car parked in the backyard, and taken away.
Xu Wenfeng expressed his gratitude to the police officers who led the team.
The trouble was successfully resolved and the Baozipu branch resumed normal operations.
Li Youran was very happy to learn the whole story, and instructed He Lingling to invite Old Man Hao and Mr. Fang to taste Dahongpao in the private room, with Han Yueying serving as the tea sommelier. (To be continued)
