Chapter 360: New Year's Eve (8)
"Yes, don't forget, I just passed the chef," Ye Lingtian said with a smile. So, Ye Lingtian and Lu Ying were both busy in the kitchen, talking and doing.
"I forgot if you don't say it. By the way, how was the situation in the store last year? I haven't taken time to ask," Lu Ying said with a smile.
"It's okay. Before the end of last year, I opened another store. It's not as large as the Spring Store, and the geographical location is not as good as the Spring Store. So I only invested 2 million yuan and the turnover is OK, with more than one million yuan per month. Then I also formed the company last year. At present, my company only has four people working, and there is not enough staff, so I can't be busy. After the Chinese New Year this year, I will expand the company to about eight to ten people. If I have a few ideas, the personnel may have to be further increased. By the way, I did an inventory of the company's accounts last year before the New Year, and the company's costs have been recovered last year. Moreover, except for all investments and expenditures, the profit of 1.3 million yuan on the books is profitable. I will bring the detailed accounts in my bag and I will show you later." Ye Lingtian said this, and by the way.
"Have the investment been recovered all? That's already very good. What are your plans for this year?"
"The goal this year is to open branches to eight stores. Now the company has nearly 7 million yuan in cash on its books. This money cannot always be left in the card. After the New Year, I will start to deploy the third and fourth stores, and strive to open six stores in the middle of this year. After all, it is not for me. This is a new industry. There must be people following the trend in the market. The first person to take the lead will always have some benefits. Since I have already gained the benefits, I have to occupy the market as much as possible. If I slow down, I will take over the market.
Take a moment. Once someone follows the trend and I occupy the market first, I will have nothing to do. So my idea is to open all the eight stores planned as soon as possible. If the market response is still good after all the eight stores are opened, try to open ten stores. However, ten stores are the limit and cannot be opened further. You may not be able to pay back the money you owe you for the time being, and you will not be able to pay off the dividends this year for the time being. Moreover, there will be no dividends for the time being. Stay in the company and wait until all of them are taken next year before you get dividends." Ye Lingtian said slowly.
"What you said makes sense. As for dividends and repaying money, you don't have to hurry. You are the major shareholder, so you have the final say. By the way, what I told you last time asked the Chinese Food program to come over for an interview and do a program. Last time I went to Beijing, I specially found a friend and asked me to help me implement this matter. I will call him and go to Beijing next time and I will find him again to try to set this matter. The program has a great influence. If it really works, it will be of great benefit to the company. After all, the ratings and authority are there," Lu Ying smiled and said.
"Okay," Ye Lingtian said nothing, nodded.
"What are you going to do after the ten stores are opened? How to continue to develop?" Lu Ying continued to ask.
"This... I haven't thought about it yet." Ye Lingtian hesitated for a moment. He really didn't think of it yet.
"Your purpose is to make money first, and your second purpose is to provide jobs for more veterans, right?"
"Yes, this is my purpose of starting a business," Ye Lingtian nodded and said.
"Okay, I think you should enter an industry, security industry," Lu Ying said slowly.
"Security industry?" Ye Lingtian frowned and thought. He is not unfamiliar with security companies. After all, after he retired from the army, he joined a security company as a security guard. Basically, a large proportion of veterans entered the security industry after they retired.
"Yes, but what I asked you to do is high-end security services, not security services that can just pull two people in the general sense. Nowadays, society has strong requirements for high-end security services, such as high-end communities, hotels and some event sites, which require security services, and high-end security services. Modern people have high requirements for security, no matter who they are, just like before, just ask two people to stand at the door. Nowadays, security companies basically require professionalism and standardization. The more disciplined and business-capable security companies are, the more popular they are. The reason I say to you is that our group needs a lot of security services, and what they need is first-class security services. We have a security company that is not open to the outside world, but only serves internally to our own group. But I don't know why, maybe it's not.
There was a military man who specialized in managing it, but it turned out to be a mess and the effect was very poor. A few years ago, I decided to let the security company dissolve in June this year, and all security services were purchased from the society. If you are willing to start a security company, I can promise to hand over all the security services of our group to your company. Don’t underestimate the security services of our group. We need at least more than 300 security personnel every year. If calculated based on the price of purchasing services from the society, the total expenditure of our group on security is about 40 million yuan every year. As long as you are willing to do it and do it well, and to be the most standardized and meet the requirements of our group, our group alone is enough to support you a medium-sized security company. Do you want to give it a try?" Lu Ying said slowly, and she suddenly remembered this.
"I'm not very familiar with this part"
"In fact, no one is more familiar with you," Lu Ying said with a smile, and finally said: "You are a soldier, and a veteran who has been in the army for more than ten years. Moreover, you can recruit a large number of veterans, which is your unique advantage. As long as you fully implement militarized management of them, some are standardized and disciplined, and everything is based on your rules in the army. I can say that your security company can become a first-class security company. This is also the reason why I suddenly mentioned this to you. Of course, this is just my suggestion. Go back and think about it yourself. If you think you can do it, just tell me then."
