Chapter 607 Inventory Backlog
From the beginning, Lu Dong never thought that he would get the "Meng's Braised Chicken" from Yang Feng at almost no cost or free.
This has nothing to do with conscience and morality, but it is easy to cause future troubles.
Of course, Lu Dong never thought of paying a certain amount of money to buy out the so-called secret recipe for braised chicken. This is not very good in the catering industry, especially for an experienced chef.
Moreover, Yang Feng’s value is not just about braised chicken.
"Old Yang, speaking of it, braised chicken is a craft passed down from your family. Only after you improve it again and again can you get the braised chicken rice we eat today."
During normal communication, Yang Feng talked to Lu Dong about braised chicken in Luokou Town. Lu Dong himself also had a certain understanding: "The company wants to use braised chicken to create a catering brand. I told you before that you cannot afford to suffer losses in vain."
Although Yang Feng was grateful to Lu's Catering Company, he was not stupid and said, "Mr. Lu, I'll follow the company's arrangements."
Lu Dong had some communication with Yang Feng about this matter. Nowadays, it is impossible for people to work in vain, but not to be rewarded.
Lu Dong thought a little and said, "Old Yang, you have been to the company for a while and have also seen the company's operations. There are considerable requirements for the promotion of dishes, the establishment of branches, the funds, manpower, material resources, and even social connections."
Yang Feng nodded frequently. At Lu's Catering Company, he saw a catering operation that was completely different from the traditional restaurant model. A dish relied on nearly 500 branches of Lu's Catering to enter the market. Its sales were so hot that it was jaw-dropping.
What if there is no Lu's catering platform? Just like the crispy golden chicken chops he has improved, at best, it can only be a snack with limited audience in a roadside shop.
Lu Dong set aside some time to let Yang Feng consider what he said just now. After waiting for a while, he said: "The total share capital of Taifengyuan braised chicken is 10 million. Lao Yang, I have left you three percent of the shares."
Although he didn't know much about these things, Yang Feng still understood the most basic calculations, and people couldn't help but get excited: "Mr. Lu, how is this good..."
Lu Dong raised his hand and interrupted him: "Lüshi Catering is not my own company, but also needs to take into account other shareholders. You can only give you three percent. These are not verbal statements and will be reflected in the specific investment contract to protect the rights and interests of both parties with the law!"
When he heard that it was not the so-called dry stock, but the shares written into the contract, Yang Feng believed in Lu Dong's sincerity.
Lu Dong smiled and said casually: "Don't think there are fewer, the company may have hundreds or even thousands of franchise stores in the future, and it will not be much worse than the current three major catering brands."
Yang Feng said: "Mr. Lu, you and the company respect me Lao Yang. I have been making this dish for 20 or 30 years. Who cares about it? Who thought about promoting it? I understand that without a platform, this is an ordinary dish."
Lu Dong nodded slightly and continued, "Taifengyuan braised chicken will be temporarily handed over to Gao Ming to manage. You are very familiar with Gao Ming, and it is convenient to communicate with you if you have something to do. Gao Ming is one of the first people to open a chain store with me, and he has rich experience in this area."
He thought of something: "Old Yang, it's because I didn't let you join this new company. If you go there, you have no talent to display. After you turn your skills, you will be responsible for the product research and development department."
"I understand! I understand!" Yang Feng knew his own ability and managed a company, but he was not at this level at all. He said, "Mr. Lu, the product R&D department is more suitable for me!"
Lu Dong said: "Okay, recently, you have communicated with Lujia Village. The semi-finished materials for braised chicken need to be produced by them."
Yang Feng promised: "No problem. I will stay in the two factories in Lujia Village from tomorrow until all problems are solved."
A series of matters about braised chicken in Taifengyuan were quickly finalized in the next two days, and a new company was registered and established in the university town, with Gao Ming as the general manager, and a group of people were drawn over.
The first batch of plans is to open ten braised chicken shops on the streets of Qingzhao County and Quannan in the first batch, and then make appropriate adjustments based on actual responses, and then open franchise stores on a large scale.
The preliminary plan is also centered on Quannan. After Quannan can initially stabilize, it will enter the market in the surrounding provinces.
It has the same effect as the three major brands under Lu's Catering.
Moreover, with the experience of opening stores in the three major brands and relying on local branches, Taifengyuan braised chicken can develop at an extremely fast speed as long as it stands.
However, the establishment of a new company has also brought about many new problems.
First of all, the office. With the rapid development in recent years, although the writing room of Lu's catering has not been filled, there are fewer and fewer empty places.
Taifengyuan Braised Chicken is a financially independent subsidiary and cannot work with Lu's Catering.
The university town has attracted investment in recent years, so it is not easy to find a suitable writing room nearby. Especially considering that Taifengyuan braised chicken may be larger, the writing room area cannot be smaller than that of Lu's catering.
Lu Dong was in the southern community, and there was a large residential area empty, so he simply rented it to Taifengyuan braised chicken, so that Gao Ming would take his people there for the time being to work there, and when a large area of office rooms in nearby office buildings were vacant, he would move it.
Besides, there may be other solutions.
It won't take long, and the Lu's Catering may have a headquarters building.
These are just planning. In addition to Qian Feng, Xue Tian and Xu Man have participated in some of them, and others don’t know about it for the time being.
The second is to need a storage and transportation center.
Whether it is opening a branch or building a franchise store, the semi-finished chicken products and material bags must be stored and transported in full cold chain. Quannan is relatively close to the center of Taidong, and can involve multiple surrounding cities. At least a distribution center that is no less than that of Lu's catering.
It's easy to talk about cars and equipment.
The land is a little troublesome.
After several years of development, the university town is different from before, especially in standardized management.
This is what Yang Liewen has been striving to pursue and create.
For resources like land, university town management is becoming increasingly strict, and the corresponding preferential requirements are constantly increasing. Even Lu Dong, an old acquaintance company, mentioned the construction of a distribution center last year, and the management committee did not make it clear.
Yang Liewen has cared about it verbally, but sometimes he should not care too much about the verbal words of the leader.
After all, there are too many things to pay attention to when the top leader in a place.
Last time I drank together, Director Zhao also revealed that the industrial land indicators are very tight this year...
Lu Dong was not a surprise, because with the economic development of a region, this is a very normal phenomenon.
These problems need to be solved one by one.
…………
To the northwest of the University Town, not far from a service station on Quandao Expressway, you can see Yaoqiang Airport from afar. The original farmland wasteland has long disappeared, replaced by tall buildings and factories.
With the advantages of resources, talents, policies, and service-oriented departments that have gradually gained some results, the university town has attracted many companies to settle down.
Not far from the Weiqiao Home Textile Industrial Park, which has been partially launched, a very large yard is surrounded by high walls. The courtyard wall is also equipped with surveillance cameras, which looks very guarded.
Several trucks dragging containers came over and drove into the open door. People wearing blue work clothes with the words "Three Links" were instructed to drive the truck to the unloading area.
The floor area here is very large, with large steel structure warehouses one row after another. The unloading and loading areas of each warehouse are completely independent to avoid huddles together.
Several drivers opened the door and got out of the car, and found a place to smoke with the co-pilot.
On fire, one of the fat drivers glanced at the empty loading area and said, "What's wrong with Sanlian recently? Only those who deliver goods in, but those who take goods out."
Another thin man used his fire to lit a cigarette and spit out a cigarette ring: "What else can I do? I can't deliver the goods."
Among them, the oldest driver interrupted: "The last time I came to deliver goods, it was quite deserted here, completely different from last year."
He sighed: "Think about it, Sanlian was so powerful in the past. When buying home appliances to Sanlian, who can buy a large appliance and not go to Sanlian Zhuanzhuan?"
The fat driver flipped off the ashes: "I had no choice before, so where can I buy it if I didn't go to Sanlian? Sanlian's good city delivery is home, and the service is OK. When you go to the group of old men in the department store, you will have to make people saliva if you ask more questions."
These are all drivers hired by manufacturers. Not only did they deliver goods to Sanlian, but the oldest said: "The delivery people are too busy with Guangmei, and most of the warehouse is empty."
Suddenly, someone walked over.
"You guys pinched the cigarette!" A staff member of Sanlian reminded: "Didn't see it? Fireworks are prohibited in the warehouse!"
These drivers were not afraid, but they didn't want to cause trouble, so they quickly wiped out all the cigarettes.
Recently, Sanlian people are very angry. I heard that they only paid the basic salary last month, and the work has been delayed for ten days this month and have not paid yet.
In the office in the warehouse area, a middle-aged man smoked one by one, making the house smoky.
There was a younger man next to him wearing blue work clothes and said, "Mr. Bi, so many goods are in, and the inventory pressure is very high."
He reminded: "If the manufacturer presses the goods again, it will start the backup warehouse."
A man named Mr. Bi pressed out the cigarette in the ashtray and said, "I know! But the basic volume of goods must be in. We have an agreement with the manufacturer, and there is a minimum purchase amount every month, so it is very troublesome to breach the contract."
Sanlian home appliances can also purchase goods from manufacturers at low prices. They have signed relevant contracts. The manufacturer gives sales rebates at low prices. It is not without conditions. Especially large manufacturers, there are regulations on the minimum purchase volume every month.
Take the Trade and Industry Computer as an example. Once the Sanlian cannot complete the basic purchase volume, Trade and Industry will deduct money from the monthly rebate, and even trigger a breach of contract clause. After deducting the rebate and purchase deposit, all payments will be recovered immediately.
Chapter completed!
