Chapter 176: Li Bin's Gift (2)
Chapter 176 Li Bin’s Gift (2)
Li Bin pointed to the primary school in the development zone not far ahead and said:
"When I first came last year, there was only one primary school and one middle school here, and there were only a dozen residential buildings. You see, now, this place has been connected, and it will definitely be a prosperous place in the future."
Everyone responded in a row, and Sun Zhenjie said:
"Mr. Shi, the development potential of this area is very good. We should consider building a supermarket here, otherwise we will not be able to squeeze in at that time."
Li Bin nodded and said:
"Zhenjie is considering that although this area has a promising prospect, if we build a standard supermarket, we may not see any profit within three or two years. For companies with very abundant funds, it is feasible to make a long-term investment. However, our company's current business focus is not on the supermarket industry. Taking such funds into this place, according to the return rate, it is somewhat less worth the loss."
Sun Zhenjie nodded thoughtfully.
The group walked to the middle of the school and the residential area. This area has now been built into a commercial area, with a not-so-large farmers' market behind it.
Because the popularity of this area has not yet been hyped, most of the second-story storefronts facing the street are still idle, and not many businesses have settled in.
Li Bin stood in front of a renovated shop, looked at the people behind him and said:
"What do you think if this shop opens a convenience store, what will happen?"
"convenience store?"
Convenience stores are small stores operated in the supermarket model, suitable for family-style operations. If they are run by a company, they will involve too much energy, like a bite of meat, but it is even more difficult to rely on it to fill it. Like the store in front of them, there are only more than 200 square meters, and the number of varieties they operate is only a few hundred. You must choose hot-selling items from all kinds of products to operate. The business hours of convenience stores are slightly longer than those of supermarkets. For example, a convenience store, the company has to send two shifts of employees to manage. It is a bit unworthy of the loss just from the manual expenditure.
Sun Zhenjie thought about it, shook his head and said:
"If it is a family-run business, the prospects of this store are naturally very good. If it is a company-run business, I am not optimistic about this store."
Li Bin laughed:
"Zhenjie, you are so outspoken, but what if you do it in another way?"
"A different way of operating? What method?" Sun Zhenjie asked in confusion.
"Chain franchise." Li Bin said affirmatively: "If we run this store in the form of a chain franchise and provide them with brand, product, price guidance and promotional support, we only charge a fixed annual brand usage fee and franchise fee. Do you think this store will be a win-win result if this is the case?"
Sun Zhenjie laughed:
"Of course, if this is the case, it will definitely be a win-win result between this store and our company. This will also help promote the popularity of our company. For the owner of this store, stable and reliable supply of goods, brand support, and promotional activities will definitely bring him a huge profit return."
Li Bin laughed:
"Now I officially announce to you that Lefu Convenience Co., Ltd. was established three days ago. This store is our Lefu Convenience chain franchise store. Since it is the company's first franchise store, the company waives the franchisee's franchise fee and the first-year brand usage annual fee. You all know the owner of this franchise store, which is our bride Hou Juan."
Hou Juan, who had already changed into a long dress, pointed at her nose in amazement and asked in surprise:
"I?"
Everyone woke up in a daze, and applauded enthusiastically. Someone who was familiar with Hou Juan hugged him to congratulate Hou Juan.
This unexpected joy came so suddenly. Why did he become the boss in the blink of an eye? Hou Juan was a little confused.
Liu Jinping smiled and joked Hou Juan:
"Xiao Juanzi, you are so unfortunate. You were removed from the company on the first day of your marriage."
Hou Juan slapped Liu Jinping:
"Sister Jinping, you come and make fun of me."
Liu Zhu grabbed Li Bin's hand with gratitude and couldn't speak for a long time. He knew that Mr. Shi was helping him in a different way. He had already made a fortune and refused, but this favor was too heavy.
Li Bin patted Liu's hand and said with a smile:
"I waived the first year's fee. If the boss's wife still doesn't make money in a year, don't blame me for taking back the store."
Liu Zai smiled foolishly, but no one could see the tears in his eyes.
Li Bin turned to everyone:
"What? Don't you want to visit the bride's shop?"
Everyone laughed and surrounded the bride and walked into the convenience store marked no:00001.
Li Bin grabbed Sun Zhenjie, took out a document from his bag and handed it to him:
"The head office has some relevant systems and policies on Lefu convenience stores. You can go back to organize the company's cadres to study in the afternoon and communicate them as soon as possible. There are some preferential policies for employees in need to apply for franchise convenience stores. You must learn thoroughly and communicate them to the level. The initial application for franchise should be mainly based on the internal employees of our company, and then openly recruit franchise to the public. This must be implemented."
Sun Zhenjie laughed loudly, solemnly put the documents in his bag, patted the bag and said:
"Mr. Shi, don't worry, I can distinguish between home and outside. You are building the boss for our company, haha."
Li Bin patted Sun Zhenjie on the shoulder and walked into Hou Juan's shop.
In fact, there is nothing to be decorated in the store. The walls of the new building are white, mainly to place shelves and arrange some lines, and install cash register Pos machines and some refrigeration equipment. If Li Bin hadn't learned that Liu Zhi's marriage was too late and the time was too hastily, even the products would have been on display now.
Hou Juan was so excited that she ran all over the two floors of the basement store. Most of the shops on the bottom floor are commercial and residential. There are several bedrooms and a living room upstairs. It is estimated that after the convenience store opened, the living room became the location of the warehouse.
Hou Juan was already thinking about which room to live for her grandparents, which room to live for her parents, and which room to live for herself and Liu Zhu.
Li Bin looked at Hou Juan with a smile and did not forget to remind her:
"Boss Hou, the company will send someone to inspect your store in two days. Don't forget to re-issue the procedures."
"I know, boss." Hou Juan curled her lips at Li Bin playfully, and suddenly realized that the person in front of her was not the stupid Liu Jae in front of her, shrank his neck, and ran away with a giggle.
When he got home, Hou Juan couldn't wait to tell the good news to his family. Liu Jie's father, who was sitting in a wheelchair, held Li Bin's hand for a long time without saying anything, but just kept crying.
Li Bin clapped his hands and comforted softly:
"Uncle, life will get better day by day. I see my younger brother who is in two years will graduate from college, and then you will be at ease."
Liu Jie's father held Li Bin's hand and squeezed it hard:
"It is his blessing to meet you, and Dajiezi is not an ungrateful person. If you have any problems in the future, don't treat him as an outsider."
Li Bin said with a smile:
"Uncle, you're just seeing each other now. I'm good friends and good brothers, so I'm naturally not going to treat him as an outsider. Uncle, I heard that you used to be an accountant in the factory, so this time you should be able to help the couple."
Liu Dad laughed:
"As long as the two children don't dislike my old bones, I will take this life and help the children support this store."
Hou Juan was unhappy to listen:
"Dad, what are you saying? If you can help us, but we can't come, how can we dislike you? We have long been looking forward to moving over with our grandparents to live with us. Otherwise, if we are so far away, not only will we be worried, but even my daughter-in-law, who is the daughter-in-law, not only will we be relieved. I don't want to be pointed at our backbone and scolded the ungrateful wolf."
The family burst into laughter. The daughter-in-law looked careless, but she was very friendly with Liu Ye. She talked straightforwardly and couldn't suppress things in her heart, but she was very kind-hearted.
At this time, Zhang Rui, Meng Dexiang, Luo Haifeng, Yu Xuemei and others also came to talk to Liu Zai's father. Seeing this, Li Bin pulled Luo Haifeng and quietly retreated out and walked into the study.
The two of them sat down on the sofa. Li Bin took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one on his own. Luo Haifeng does not smoke, rarely drinks alcohol, and looks pretty. If it weren't for his excessive physical disability, he would be the ideal husband in the eyes of the girl.
Li Bin turned to Luo Haifeng and asked:
"What are the results of the investigation these days? Are there any gains?"
Luo Haifeng nodded and said:
"Now it is initially found that he has kept two lovers outside. The properties under the names of those two lovers are his property. I have also taken a few photos of his meeting with his lover. While his lover was not at home, I also touched their house and searched them, but I have not obtained any excellent evidence yet. The main reason is that time is relatively hasty. If you follow them for a while, you should gain something."
Li Bin nodded and said:
"Don't be too anxious about this matter, be safe first. How is your training for the SWAT team?"
Li Bin was surprised to find that Luo Haifeng was actually a little disgusted, and couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
Luo Haifeng replied in a hurry:
"No, no, it's all good."
Li Bin nodded:
"You pay attention to the people in the SWAT team. You can focus on cultivating them with good character. It is always beneficial and harmless to let them master more skills."
Luo Haifeng nodded tightly:
"Well, I'll pay attention."
As the evening approached, Liu Jie's group of apprentices ran over with laughter and wanted to rob the master and beat the master's Qiufeng. Li Bin stood up and said goodbye when he saw the situation, refused Liu Jie's family's retention, and took Zhang Rui and others back to Tianjin.
