Chapter 254(1/2)
In Zhongling County, Shiguang Company Office, Lu Ze was sitting in front of the main seat of the conference table and convened his last executive meeting before going to college.
[Changxing] Zhao Yongqiang of the marketing company, [Shiguang] Sister Chen of Cultural and Creative, Li Yanlin, Liu Min, Xiao Wenbin, Zhao Xiaohui, Li Hui, and Tao Jiayu of [Juewei Baozi] are all listed.
He basically called back all of these management backbones who followed Lu Ze.
Lu Ze pondered and said to everyone: "Well, since everyone is here, let's have a formal meeting.
I believe everyone has heard that I am about to go to Modu City to go to college. So next, I will shift part of the business focus of several companies to Modu City.
In addition to the old business, we will expand several new businesses next.
Therefore, I want to choose a few of you to go to the Demon City to conquer the world with me."
Lu Ze's words shocked everyone here except Zhao Yongqiang. Going to the Demon City was something they had never thought about.
"Mr. Lu, the business in the province is working hard to expand, why are you anxious to go to Magic City to open up the market? It is so urgent that the company's management is prone to problems." Liu Min said anxiously.
Lu Ze smiled and explained: "Haha, after nearly a year of experience, I believe everyone has enough ability to withstand the pressure.
The company cannot be limited to development in Jiangyou Province forever. The current operating conditions are quite mature, and it is time to go out.
This is how you do business. Accidents are always caught off guard. Especially when facing an excellent opportunity, we need to make adjustments at any time and seize development opportunities. Everyone must have this ability to respond on the spot in the future.
As long as the company is developing rapidly, even if some problems arise, it can be corrected and adjusted as soon as possible.
What I fear most is to be afraid of one's head and not be enterprising."
The big boss Lu Ze has already made up his mind, and the executives present can only choose to obey.
"Mr. Lu, what businesses need to be moved next? What new businesses will be developed in Magic City?" Zhao Xiaohui asked.
Lu Ze patiently explained: "Don't worry, I'm about to explain this matter in detail next.
First of all, the business of [Juewei Baozi] and [Xuji Rice Noodles] must be expanded, so a small team must be sent to a station in the Magic City when choosing a store. Wen Bin led the team to this matter, and Li Hui, you stayed and continued to be responsible for the store development business in Jiangyou Province.
Secondly, the number of bun shops in the provincial capital has reached a certain number. Next month, a small central bank factory for production and production of buns will be established in the city for trial operation as soon as possible.
Xiaohui, you have the full authority to handle factory site selection, related machinery and equipment, and cold chain transportation matters.
After the preparations for the central factory are completed, employees who make buns in each flagship store can draw some of them to the factory to bring new employees. They must mature the central factory as soon as possible to prepare for the pilot project for the establishment of a large central factory in the Magic City.
Third, the Magic City is like the provincial capital. First, the flagship store has established a brand and accumulated reputation. Then it continues to develop satellite stores and finally establishes a large central factory.
Therefore, a group of elite store managers must be drawn from Magic City. For employees who are willing to work in Magic City, the company can also give them an additional allowance in addition to paying wages according to Magic City standards.
Liu Min, you must handle the personnel reserves in this area as soon as possible.
Fourth, in terms of [Shiguang] cultural and creative side, Liu Xiaojun has integrated many stationery manufacturers to supply us with OEMs. With the creative stationery designed by our company, the products are enough to open direct stores.
Next, we will choose a few good locations in Magic City and create several creative stationery collection stores. The name of the store is called [Shiguang Youxuan].
After making these [Shiguang Youxuan] cultural and creative collection stores into benchmark models, the brand of the collection store can be opened to cooperative merchants in various places and asked them to pay for franchise.
In the future, our products will only be authorized to our franchise stores for sale. If they want to continue to make money from our cultural and creative products, they must become our franchisees.
This is the most important development strategy for the next step of [Shiguang] cultural and creative companies, so these [Shiguangxuan] model stores are only allowed to succeed, not fail.
Yongqiang, you arranged for Sun Mingliang, who is in charge of the market in the Magic City, to personally handle the site selection.
Fifth, I will expand a new catering business in Magic City, that is, I will prepare to develop a hot pot chain brand there.
You are personally responsible for this matter. We will explain it in detail after the specific implementation.
Now I announce that Yan Lin, Liu Min, Wen Bin, Yongqiang, you all follow me to the Demon City to conquer the world. Others stay in Jiangyou and continue to be responsible for local business.
You are responsible for the business, recruit more personnel as soon as possible, and at the same time, cultivate the talent team. When the market in Magic City opens, I need you to draw elite teams to support them at any time.
The above are all the plans of each company in the next step. Do you have any questions?"
"No, boss, don't worry, we will make adjustments as soon as possible." Li Hui responded firmly.
Lu Ze smiled and said, "Haha, that's good. Next, everyone will cooperate. After everything is ready, Liu Min, Yan Lin, Wen Bin, you will lead the team to the Demon City to meet me."
"I understand, boss." Several people agreed in unison.
Lu Ze said to Chen Guihua, who was in charge of finance, again: "Sister Chen, please let me take a look at the family."
"Boss, don't worry, there must be no problem." Chen Guihua replied confidently.
Lu Ze reminded again: "Sister Chen, several companies have so many new businesses at the same time, so there will definitely be some pressure on funds in the future. You can apply to the bank as soon as possible and give us a large loan."
"Boss, is the company's cash flow enough to support these new plans?" Chen Guihua asked with a puzzled look.
Lu Ze had no choice but to explain: "Because of the next new business, whether it is opening a factory or opening a store, the company will try not to choose the rental method. We must buy the store or factory directly.
From now on, rents will soar every year. Take advantage of the current housing prices and land prices, and make more real estate investments.
With these real estates, the company's assets will become more and more in the future. With assets as collateral, it will be easier to find a bank loan in the future."
"I understand, boss, I'll go to the bank to apply as soon as possible. According to the bank's practice, the loan amount that may be granted to us may not be too much."
Lu Ze explained: "You can ask County Mayor Jiang for help in this matter. Based on the revenue scale of our company, if they refuse, you will show off directly and say that we will move our business to the Magic City.
Tell them that by next year, the revenue of several companies will definitely exceed one billion. With such a large revenue and such a good growth, what's wrong with the bank approving us a loan of 100 million yuan?
If they don’t want such high-quality corporate customers, I will transfer my revenue to the Magic City. I believe that the banks there will be happy to do our business."
Lu Ze is also planning ahead. In two years, China will join the WTO and will take the express train of economic development. At that time, housing prices and land prices will rise year by year.
It is better to buy more real estate while the price is cheap. On the one hand, you can save a lot of rent, and on the other hand, from an investment perspective, it is also a very good choice.
"Haha, boss, I know what to do." Sister Chen agreed with a smile.
After the meeting, everyone was preparing for it in full swing.
Zhao Yongqiang and Lu Ze made some private explanations and asked him to go directly to the North and go to get the beef and mutton supply first.
Lu Ze was about to register for college, and time would be more free in the future.
With a long ambition, if he wants to build a strong plan, he must sharpen his beards in order to move with the camera.
That's why before going to college, all preparations were arranged.
After two more days, it was finally time for Lu Ze to register.
Xu Fangping and Lu Jianjun and his wife rushed back from the provincial capital. Not only were they, but they, and the second and third uncles, also returned.
It was a dinner with relatives again, and another celebration.
At the dinner table, my second uncle Xu Dachuan raised his glass and happily congratulated him: "Lu Ze, my second uncle, I wish you success in your studies and a prosperous journey!"
"Hehe, thank you second uncle." Lu Ze also raised his glass to respond with a smile.
Third uncle Xu Xiaoshan also followed Jing and said, "You little brat, third uncle doesn't know what to say. I wish you all the best in the journey, and you're all in the wine, and you've done it!"
"Okay, it's all in the wine." Lu Ze followed with another drink.
Xu Fangping felt sorry for her son's health that he was not good for drinking too much alcohol, so she hurriedly persuaded him: "Okay, just let me know my family's will, don't do it at all."
"Hahaha, sister, don't worry. Lu Ze is with his brother-in-law, so he will definitely not be able to drink badly." As his third uncle Xu Xiaoshan explained, he also praised his brother-in-law Lu Jianjun.
Lu Jianjun himself has a good alcohol tolerance, but their generation has no choice. Drinking is due to the contemporary atmosphere.
But his son still has to go to college, but he didn't expect that he would have drunk his body at a young age, so he also advised him kindly: "Lu Ze still has to go to college, so drink less."
"Dad, mom, it's okay once in a while." Lu Ze smiled and comforted.
The second uncle Xu Dachuan laughed happily: "Hahaha, elder sister, brother-in-law, a real man, how can he get involved in society after drinking? He has been practicing alcohol tolerance slowly."
"Drink your head, you two brothers are capable of drinking with outsiders. What kind of ability do you show off with your nephew?" The second aunt Wu Chunyan complained with disgust.
Lu Ze hurriedly advised: "Second Auntie, it's okay, it's rare to be happy today.
However, second uncle and third uncle, the next business will be in the Demon City. Remember to cultivate an elite team as soon as possible and go to the Demon City to conquer the world with me."
"Don't worry, you can't make a mistake." Second uncle Xu Dachuan promised.
Lu Ze explained this to the two of them some time ago, and they were already preparing for it.
Anyway, I can only arrange a team with strong abilities, and Lu Ze will manage it in the Demons, so they don’t have to worry about it.
My second uncle's construction team is getting bigger and bigger, and many reliable construction team leaders have been trained. The decoration company has now raised several designers, from the provincial capital to other prefecture-level cities in Jiangyou Province, and now the decoration business is getting bigger and bigger.
[Dachuan Decoration] Now it is a veritable provincial capital decoration company.
My second uncle's development is relatively slow. The [Xuji Rice Noodles] stores are all open based on the flagship store of [Juewei Baozi].
However, together with the provincial capital and other prefecture-level cities, [Xuji Mi Noodles] now has dozens of stores chain brands. And we have begun to plan to expand independent stores next. Once the number of independent stores reaches a certain scale, we can also develop franchise stores.
This time, Lu Ze went to Modu City, bun shops, and rice noodle shops, and his second uncle's decoration company expanded with him.
After all, Lu Ze plans to open dozens of hot pot restaurants next, so he should leave the decoration to his own people.
The whole family happily practiced it for Lu Ze, and even his two cousins wished him a smooth college journey.
The next day, he had another meal with his uncle and his family. Lu Fei was talking about going to the Demon City with Lu Ze, but his aunt scolded him again.
Time flies so fast, and it is time for Lu Ze to set off.
Donghai University will start school on September 1, and freshmen can register at the school on August 29.
Lu Ze bought a train ticket on the evening of August 29, and he would arrive at the school the next morning. He did not block the registration deadline, but instead went to register one day early and could make more preparations before school starts.
In the evening, at Zhongling County Railway Station, my parents, second and third uncles and family came to see Lu Ze off, and my uncles and family also came.
