On average, Pang Donglai can generate nearly 7.5 million yuan in revenue each month. After paying the salaries of its employees and electricity bills, it can also collect rent from various businesses.

After paying taxes, Lin Yifeng will still have about six million left in savings.

Not only Pang Donglai, but Lin Yifeng, who has already opened stores in three cities, can contribute about three million yuan in monthly income from his two major businesses, Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream.

The remaining portion, from the newspaper and the arcade, can also provide about one million in revenue.

All things considered, Lin Yifeng had already reached a level where he could earn tens of millions a month just three months into 1993.

Even in Zhongzhou Province, few companies could stand up and confront Lin Yifeng.

From a certain perspective, Lin Yifeng has become a giant enterprise in Zhongzhou Province.

This is one of the reasons why the provincial leaders in Shangdu value Lin Yifeng so much.

After instructing Donglai to deposit all the profits into the bank, Lin Yifeng looked at the Shangdu Economic Daily in front of him and felt a headache coming on.

"I'm going to be busy from now on."

...

In the following days, Lin Yifeng had no chance to return to Muye City. He was basically running around to various departments, preparing for the opening of a shop in the train station.

Fortunately, with connections, the matter was confirmed within a few days.

Lin Yifeng also arranged for Guo Fengsheng to be in charge of supervising the entire process, which allowed him to rest for a while.

Meanwhile, inside the KFC store on the other side.

Qi Deshun, the manager of the shopping mall, felt a headache looking at the calm KFC in the store at noon.

There was a time when, in this commercial city, the mere mention of KFC would make them look down on everyone around them.

Many people kept sending gifts to Qi Deshun, hoping to use their connections to get some people into the KFC.

These days, KFC's salaries are quite high, and with hourly wages, it attracts many people from the city to work part-time.

Now, times have changed. In just half a month, KFC's business has plummeted, to the point that no one comes to their store anymore.

The store's revenue was also cut in half.

"What the hell is Wallace? A copycat of KFC, does it even dare to compare itself to us?"

Qi Deshun's eyes were bloodshot.

Having repeatedly lost his status, he now only wants to kill Wallace completely.

Seeing that Wallace's business was booming, he was thinking of using his connections to contact the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Ministry of Health to ruin Wallace's reputation.

However, Qi Deshun never expected that his good brothers, who used to drink and chat happily at the dinner table, would all avoid him when they heard that he was going to mess with Wallace.

Some people with slightly stronger connections warned him not to have any intention of harming Wallace, as Qi Deshun couldn't afford to offend the people behind them.

Since someone had already reminded him, Qi Deshun could only put the matter aside.

We started thinking about how to win back the customers KFC had recently lost.

Beside her, the female store manager frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Manager Qi, I've also had my staff inquire."

"The vetting process there is very strict, making it difficult to poach talent."

"Many of us want to go over there..."

The female shop manager stopped mid-sentence.

With Wallace's business so booming, several former KFC employees had already switched jobs to Wallace.

After working there for a while, these people all realized how good Wallace's benefits were.

Although it's tiring every day, I earn enough money. The store manager is very considerate of the employees, which is far better than working at KFC.

Many people below are thinking about whether to try switching jobs to Wallace, since everyone has heard that Wallace is going to continue opening stores recently.

Not only the employees, but even the female store manager had considered this matter.

Although the salary at KFC wasn't low, there was no hope of a raise. She privately asked some of the former employees there, and they said that although Wallace was extremely busy every day, he received subsidies during their busy periods, and his basic salary was almost catching up with that of the KFC manager.

Qi Deshun's temples bulged with veins as he shouted angrily.

"Anyone who dares to talk about this kind of thing can just take their paycheck and get out!"

"Never hire me from KFC!"

Upon hearing this, the female shop manager shrank back and dared not utter a sound.

"But Manager Qi, this takeout..."

Qi Deshun felt a headache coming on whenever this matter was mentioned.

KFC has to consult with headquarters before they can do anything. The customer base for delivery services isn't very large, and there are only a few KFCs in the shopping mall area.

When I asked headquarters, they said they would make a decision after considering all factors.

It's absolutely not enough for just one business to implement it; the whole group needs to do it together.

But here's the problem: not every KFC in every location has the same favorable business environment as the one in Shangdu.

In big cities, for example, road conditions, traffic, and distance are all problems. Most of the investment in food delivery is unprofitable and can only be considered an additional product.

But if Qi Deshun and his group didn't do that, they simply couldn't compete with Wallace in the upper circles.

Since his superiors forbade him to do it, Qi Deshun could only find ways to circumvent them and carry it out in secret.

The simplest idea is to recruit a group of people not under the KFC name, but to have them help KFC with delivery.

This is essentially equivalent to KFC employing a group of people to help with delivery.

Realizing this, Qi Deshun understood that he couldn't delay any longer.
