What else are you thinking about?"
Lao Yu said, "You said you had successfully cooperated with me, but you looked so sad that I was shocked. You must treat me tonight to comfort my wounded heart."
"By the way, tell me about what happened after you got there. Did you meet the Black Dragon bosses? Did you see the legendary God of War, Forty-Nine? I heard he's two meters tall and can kill a bear with one punch. And then there's Zhu Zheng, who's said to be very clever and ruthless. And then there's Qin Jiang..."
Zhang Chao looked back through the car window at the Black Dragon Group building with a complicated look in his eyes, then shook his head to dispel his confused thoughts.
Turning back to Lao Yu, he said, "Have a good drink tonight. I've been so tense these past few days and need to relax."
Lao Yu: "Okay!"
Buzz...
Zhang Chao's phone rang in his pocket, and Zhang Pu's voice came: "Are you okay? How's the negotiation going? We can hardly keep up with the franchise stores, so we can give up some of the profits."
Zhang Chao: "We've already negotiated. It's the best terms I could have imagined. Furthermore, the Black Dragon Group is giving us a lot of autonomy, waiving the franchise fee for three years, and reducing the initial costs of each store by 10%."
Zhang Pu: "Who did you negotiate this generous offer with? Did he cheat you? Does he keep his word?"
Zhang Chao: "Qin Jiang!"
Zhang Pu: "Who? Qin Jiang! Qin Jiang, Chairman of the Black Dragon Group, the legendary Songjiang guy."
Zhang Chao: "Yes!"
Zhang Pu: "Why would he want to see you? We're probably not at that level, are we? What kind of person is he? Is he really just a student? They say he started out as a gangster... Does he have a lot of bodyguards with him?"
Zhang Chao: "He's... quite an extraordinary person. I can't quite figure him out... let alone him: even Zhu Zheng beside him gives me an unfathomable feeling. With a person like that, and a team like that... it's not unfair that we lost to them..."
Zhang Pu: ...
"Tell me about it when you come back. I'm curious...how legendary is that man..."
...
In the office.
Zhu Zheng: "Brother Jiang! Why do you treat him so well? We don't lack franchise stores." He didn't quite understand why his brother Jiang treated Zhang Chao so well. It couldn't even be said to be preferential treatment, it was completely caring. But why was he caring for him?
Does it matter?
No! Zhang Chao is obviously just an ordinary small business owner? But from his conversation, you can tell that he is a capable person.
Qin Jiang: "A thousand gold coins for horse bones! Let's use him as an example. Can we attract some big franchisees?"
"Although franchising can quickly expand the number of stores, it is not without its drawbacks. It is very difficult for us to manage these chaotic franchisees, and it takes a lot of effort. Relatively speaking, large franchisees are much better. We only need to manage the large franchisees and let them manage the franchise stores below."
Zhu Zheng nodded.
It's fair to say that while Xue Ye Bing Cheng (Snowy Night Ice City) has rapidly expanded to thousands of stores, gaining immense popularity, it has also exposed numerous problems. Some franchise stores lack strict employee management and fail to ensure uniform cleanliness and hygiene. Some franchise stores even resort to cutting corners to maximize profits, sourcing materials from other sources, and even selling at a markup.
As for:
Bad attitude!
Fraud!
.....
And so much more.
In response to this, the Black Dragon Group has also taken many actions. The management department has specially set up an inspection agency at the Xue Ye Bing Cheng headquarters to punish those stores that do not follow the rules: warnings, fines, suspension of business, and even direct closures.
These have indeed caused great losses to Xue Ye Bing Cheng, and it has also cost more energy. If it connects with large franchisees, the problems will be alleviated a lot. At least by strictly managing the large franchisees, they can save time, effort and money in controlling them.
Although he agreed with the decision in his heart, Zhu Zheng knew Qin Jiang well and felt that there was some deeper meaning behind it. Since Brother Jiang didn't say it, he wouldn't ask.
Qin Jiang looked out the window with a flickering gaze:
When he heard Zhang Chao looking for him, he was a bit dazed. Zhang Chao! The founder of Mixue! He could be said to be stealing his future achievements, which was why he was giving him such preferential treatment. It was nothing else! It was just karma! There were some things he didn't believe in, but his two lives had given him a little faith. But it was only a little bit. He wouldn't let the so-called karma blind him.
Nothing more than...
Just a little emotional!
Sijiu looked at Qin Jiang.
Qin Jiang smiled and said, "Let's go...eat!"
Zhu Zheng: "It's time for Sijiu to eat again."
Sijiu: "Hehe..."
...
at the same time.
While everyone's attention was focused on the frantic expansion of Xue Ye Bing Cheng, no one knew that an all-star free endorsement storm was about to unfold in Hengdian:
Bawang Tea is about to... explode!!!
...
Hengdian!
Click...
The director said: "Okay, intermission..."
Wow...
The crew members breathed a sigh of relief, and several assistants quickly came to the main actors and put on their clothes:
"Sister Yuning, thank you for your hard work!"
"Sister Yue, thank you for your hard work!"
The two female protagonists are: Su Yuning and Yin Yue. This drama is a TV series invested and produced by Starlight Entertainment. After the last incident, Yin Yue called Su Yuning to explain the situation. Finally, at Su Yuning's suggestion, she also chose to join Starlight Entertainment and even got a top contract.
Nothing else!
Some legends are better to believe than not...
Yin Yue took Su Yuning's hand and looked up at the sky. "Sister Ning, it's almost noon, we should go out for a walk. I heard there's a new crew filming a costume drama next door. They're all A-list stars. Let's go and get acquainted."
Su Yuning nodded: "Okay!"
Then Yin Yue turned around and said to the director, "Director, we're going to go out for a while. Call me when you're about to shoot next."
After saying that, he pulled Su Yuning away.
Director: "Okay…go ahead!"
The male lead, Brother Hua, saw Su Yuning and Yin Yue leave, and his mouth twitched twice. He said indignantly, "What's going on? Do you have any professionalism? You're just strolling out mid-shoot. What's wrong? Do you think this is a vegetable market?"
Assistant: "Brother Hua, don't be angry..."
The male lead, Hua Ge, said: "How can I not be angry? They don't even bother to act with me during their break. Don't think I don't know that they hang out with the big names from other crews every day and even treat those stars to milk tea every day."
"Haha... do they think they can build connections just by doing this? Stupid! Connections depend on personal connections, your own abilities, acting skills, and status. They can't be acquired by treating people to meals every day."
Assistant: "Yes! Yes! Brother Hua is right!"
He knew that the main reason why Brother Hua was so angry was that Su Yuning or Yin Yue had basically no communication with Brother Hua except for their scenes together. How could Brother Hua, who thought he was so handsome and was sought after wherever he went, accept this?
As for professionalism!
hehe...
