Zeng Wenjie, who had struggled for most of his life, personally witnessed his good brother's wallet empty, his health ruined, his hair fall out, and him being cuckolded.
Then, thinking ab...
Chapter 416: Xiao Qin, a man of many tricks (5K)
It is rare for the boss Zeng Wenjie to do everything himself and arrange all matters of the branch.
Although Fu Qianzhu had experience as a store manager in the campus store of the entrepreneurship base, she still felt a little nervous when she thought about taking over such a large branch, for fear of disappointing Zeng Wenjie's expectations of her.
Chen Lianfang, the owner of the spicy snack factory, was also attentive and busy.
When Zeng Wenjie opens up for franchising, I don’t know how many franchise stores he will open across the country, and the supply will be huge!
Things like spicy strips have a wide audience.
If all the snack brand stores in the future use their own red hot spicy strips, I can’t imagine how much money they can make!
Then, Chen Lianfang, who had taken the initiative to help, also took the initiative to treat him to a meal.
Zeng Wenjie didn't bother to be polite with him and charged him a lot of money, but this meal made Chen Lianfang smile from ear to ear and she wanted to arrange the next one.
"Let's skip the next one. We need to conserve our energy and have a great opening tomorrow." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.
"Okay then..." Chen Lianfang said with some regret, actually feeling a little troubled that she couldn't spend her money.
Fu Qianzhu seriously invited Zeng Wenjie to visit the house he rented for them.
Zeng Wenjie thought it was a good idea and wanted to see if their living environment needed improvement.
Zeng Wenjie was quite happy to spend some money on Fu Qianzhu. This girl was really frugal.
Even if he received a high salary and year-end bonus, he still worked diligently, saved his money, did not spend it recklessly, and only bought necessities of life.
Perhaps the most expensive thing I bought recently is the brand-name razor I gave to Zeng Wenjie.
"Hmm? It's been redecorated, and it looks pretty good. It has a cozy feeling!"
When Zeng Wenjie walked into the rented house, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction.
Fu Qianzhu smiled and said, "Liu Xu, Liu Qi and I arranged this together. They can't wait to move in, but I still want to live in the dormitory and move out after graduation."
Zeng Wenjie said, "It's your freedom. Live wherever you want! Living on campus is also good. You can have more friends there."
Fu Qianzhu said: "I'll tell you when we move in. We'll cook a big meal here and invite everyone to come and eat and drink."
Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "Okay, I'm happy to eat and drink for free. Oh, by the way, I've sold your house in my hometown. But where will you live if you go back to visit relatives in the future?"
Fu Qianzhu said: "You can live at Second Uncle's house."
Zeng Wenjie thought about it and asked, "Are you going back for Qingming Festival?"
Fu Qianzhu was silent for a moment and said, "We'll talk about it then!"
She was afraid that after she returned, she would hear those bad comments, which would cause her to have a mental breakdown and be sad for a few days.
Although she seems very strong, she is actually quite passive and timid in this regard.
But this is also human nature. It is not easy for women to face such hardships and still be able to grit their teeth, hold on, and live hard and seriously.
The rented house has been decorated perfectly, even with tea for guests.
Fu Qianzhu asked Zeng Wenjie to sit on the sofa for a while, then went to get him some tea and took out the ashtray he had bought specially for him.
"Hahaha, that's quite thoughtful. Thank you for your hard work!" Zeng Wenjie lit a cigarette happily.
Fu Qianzhu said: "To be honest, I feel quite pressured to be in charge of this branch myself."
Zeng Wenjie said, "It's just daily management. Don't feel stressed. I'll find a way to handle the marketing. Besides, I'm not letting you take on all the responsibilities alone. If you're too busy, I'll assign people to you."
Fu Qianzhu nodded gently and said, "I will try my best."
Zeng Wenjie said, "Once we've recruited enough people, I'll hold a meeting with you veterans and allocate some shares to you. That way, when the snack shop grows bigger and stronger, you'll be able to receive high dividends every year."
Fu Qianzhu quickly waved his hands and said, "My salary and bonus are already enough to make people envious. There's no need to give me any shares. I don't understand these things."
Zeng Wenjie said, "You and Brother Ye have been with me from the beginning. You've witnessed the growth of the snack shop, and the snack shop has also witnessed your growth. I will still divide the shares. As for whether you keep the dividends for yourselves or cash them out, I have no objection. These are the benefits that I, the boss, give to you veterans!"
"Well...it won't be much, but it's enough to keep you well-fed and well-clothed."
Fu Qianzhu pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Ye works the hardest, so just give him some."
Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Aren't you tired? Everyone has gone home to celebrate the holidays, and you're the only one keeping the snack shop open!"
Fu Qianzhu then said, "Then I also got the reward I deserved. I got a share of the profits during the business period."
Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had seen too many green tea girls and bitches, but a girl as simple, pure and down-to-earth as Fu Qianzhu was really too rare!
"Actually, I'm very happy to see the snack shop grow bigger and stronger, and I'm also very satisfied with my current salary." Fu Qianzhu said in a low voice.
"You are satisfied, but I am not! Hey, when those idiots saw me opening a snack shop, they all thought I was courting death, but you came to the store to help me, and I am very grateful to you." Zeng Wenjie said in a gangster tone, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
Fu Qianzhu smiled after hearing this, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone: "Isn't it you who took me in?"
Zeng Wenjie said: "In short, this is a wonderful story of mutual achievement!"
"Don't try to trick me. Actually, it's because of your good ideas that the snack shop can make money." Fu Qianzhu pouted and said softly.
"Okay, okay, stop nagging here! If you don't take the shares, how will they feel comfortable taking them?" Zeng Wenjie said.
"Okay...but can I deal with it myself?" Fu Qianzhu said softly.
Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "It's better to hold on to it yourself. The annual dividends will be quite substantial. You probably don't know how much money you can make by becoming the largest snack chain in the country?"
Fu Qianzhu pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "I understand. I will cherish it."
In fact, Zeng Wenjie didn't plan to distribute many shares.
But the future of snack shops is very bright, and the prospects are not small. Even if it is only one percent, it is enough to have food and clothing.
Zeng Wenjie is not short of this little money, and he will not mistreat the employees who work diligently for him, especially Fu Qianzhu. Although he has never owed her anything, he always wants to take care of her a little more.
Beautiful women always have privileges, and as long as they don’t act pretentious, they will always be loved.
"Let's go back to school. We have to come early to open the door tomorrow." Zeng Wenjie said.
"Yeah, okay!" Fu Qianzhu agreed quickly.
The next day, there were many flower baskets placed at the branch store, all sent by various manufacturers.
Ye Qiansheng came over early in the morning to put up Lao Xie's posters, as well as some advertising slogans linked to "The Voice of China". As long as you buy snacks worth a specified amount at the snack shop, you can participate in the lottery and have a chance to win "The Voice of China" peripherals.
"Fengwei" snacks also have an event. Participate in the lottery and win a signature from Nicholas Tse.
Zeng Wenjie was obviously too lazy to waste time competing with the snack shops around him, so he made a big move on the first day of opening, and deeply linked up with the most popular music variety show "The Voice of China".
Last winter, he asked the toy factory to produce a lot of peripheral products, waiting to be used when the snack shop expanded.
Although the lottery thing is cliché, it is really useful...
To put it in a broader sense, after ten years or so, which Penguin mobile game doesn't have a fucking lottery event? And it's a huge scam, thousands of dollars invested will be wasted!
The off-campus store is under the care of newly recruited people today. Liu Xu, Liu Qi, Fu Qianzhu and Shi Jing have all come to the new store to help.
Because the off-campus store did not launch any marketing activities in conjunction with "The Voice of China".
It was still early, so everyone was waiting in the store nervously, waiting for the first customer to arrive.
The store I opened on campus before was just a joke. It was purely a free ride on the school’s resources, making a few hundred dollars a day.
This branch on Hospital Road is strictly speaking the first branch!
Therefore, Ye Qiansheng and Fu Qianzhu once again felt the tension and anticipation of the first day of opening the store.
Especially Ye Qiansheng, he didn't sleep much the whole night, and he knew that the first shot of this branch was closely related to the subsequent expansion. If it could be fired loudly and beautifully, the plan formulated by the boss could be implemented smoothly.
If the fight is not good, then many plans will fail...
He is very anxious!
Ye Yixuan was about to be sent out to Guzhou County to fend for herself. Her achievements were getting higher and higher. If he didn't make some good progress, how could he catch up? How could he embarrass his good sister?
Zeng Wenjie squatted at the door holding a bowl of greasy local specialty intestines and pork noodles. He glanced at the stupid Ou Doudou with a sidelong glance, then buried his head in eating the noodles.
Fengzhou is the birthplace of "The Voice of China", and the people here admire and love this program more than people in other places.
As a top music variety show comparable to the "Super Girl" next door, its influence is unquestionable. When more people come, people will naturally come into the store to buy.
Moreover, today is the weekend, and there are many young people who are not in class or working.
"He is still as calm as before!" Fu Qianzhu felt both amused and helpless after seeing Zeng Wenjie's appearance.
Liu Xu said, "It's already eight o'clock, why hasn't anyone come yet? I'm so anxious, I hope we haven't come here in vain!"
Shi Jing advised, "Don't worry, Sister Liu Xu. There will definitely be customers! 'The Voice of China' is such a great show, it has a huge fan base. When more people come in, they'll come into the store and shop."
Zeng Wenjie threw his empty takeout bowl into the trash can, wiped his mouth, and then took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He said with a grin, "You don't trust the boss, but don't you trust the influence of the four celebrity mentors?"
After saying this, he glanced at the handsome photo of Lao Xie pasted on the window, and felt more and more that they were evenly matched.
Liu Qi said: "I think the boss has more appeal. Why not put out a speaker and sing a rap song? It will definitely attract customers!"
Zeng Wenjie rolled his eyes at her and said disdainfully, "You're making a fool of your boss, aren't you?"
Then, the first guest showed up.
She is a woman wearing casual clothes, with smooth short hair, light makeup on her face, and her clothes and appearance are very tasteful. People can't help but identify her as a "high-quality woman" at first sight.
"You didn't even inform me about the opening of the new store?"
The woman walked up to Zeng Wenjie and asked with a smile.
Everyone was startled, and then Fu Qianzhu remembered and said, "It seems to be the host from the General Administration who went to the 'Village BA' to do an interview?"
She pays close attention to Zeng Wenjie and often reads news about him, sometimes even several times.
For example, she watched Zeng Wenjie's speech at a conference held by the education department carefully three times.
Zeng Wenjie was also stunned, then stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Yan, why are you here?"
Yan Xinyi shrugged and said, "I've finished all the work in Niushou City, so I came to Fengzhou for a look! Then, I heard the news that your new store was opening, so I came here specially to patronize it."
Zeng Wenjie bowed and said, "Welcome, welcome! I didn't expect my first customer would be the beautiful hostess from the General Administration! This is a great start. Business will definitely boom in the future."
Ye Qiansheng's eyes kept rolling around at Yan Xinyi.
He felt that the person in front of him could score 95 points!
Who got full marks?
The stupid sister Ye Yixiuan and the proprietress Mu Qingyang.
Although he wanted to slap Ye Yixiuan in the face, Ye Qiansheng was still very sure that Ye Yixiuan was a top beauty and deserved a full score from him.
If it were another girl, she would probably feel upset instantly, but Yan Xinyi was already used to being stared at in this way, so she took it calmly.
"Then should I go into the store and choose something?" Yan Xinyi asked.
"Okay." Zeng Wenjie threw away his cigarette butt and led the way.
He led Yan Xinyi into the store to make some purchases, and asked, "Sister Yan, are you here alone, or is your entire team here?"
Yan Xinyi said, "I came with the team, what's wrong?"
"Just a casual question."
Zeng Wenjie responded with a smile.
As expected, isn’t Senior Qin trying to be clever again?
Obviously, Yan Xinyi and her team must have arrived earlier than today, otherwise, she would not have been able to show up precisely at the gate of the newly opened snack store on Hospital Road so early in the morning.
However, Qin Yixuan did not mention any whereabouts to Zeng Wenjie. Perhaps, she did not expect that Yan Xinyi would come to Zeng Wenjie's store in person.
Qin Yixuan was very smart and knew that he couldn't play hard to get with Zeng Wenjie. That would only put himself in that embarrassing situation again, with no chance of improvement.
Zeng Wenjie even suspected that she had deliberately put a sanitary napkin in her crotch when she knocked on his door last time.
Yan Xinyi took a walk around before starting to buy snacks. She felt that it made sense for Zeng Wenjie to open a snack shop. This kind of small packaging was indeed very convenient. Even a girl with a small appetite could finish a pack in one go.
While I was shopping, suddenly a middle-aged man came into the store with a large group of people.
"Mr. Zeng, congratulations on the opening of the new store. I brought my employees here to show my support!"
The person who came was Xue Lu. He smiled and shook hands with Zeng Wenjie repeatedly.
"Welcome, welcome."
Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, who wouldn’t love someone who gives money?
Xue Lu was also a seasoned veteran who knew how to handle people. He knew he and Zeng Wenjie would have more contact in the future and that he would have to rely on this young man in many ways! So, when the new store opened, he immediately brought his employees over to buy snacks to show his support.
Seeing that the store was getting busy, Yan Xinyi quickly selected two large bags of snacks, weighed them, and checked out.
She also participated in the lottery and drew two frosted mentor cards.
This card was made by Zeng Wenjie in imitation of a star card, so it can be considered as a collection of some value.
"It's such a pity that I didn't get the action figure!" Yan Xinyi smiled helplessly.
"Come again next time, you will definitely win." Zeng Wenjie said.
"Okay, I'll fly all the way from Yanjing to come here to buy snacks and participate in the lottery. Just reimburse me for the airfare." Yan Xinyi said humorously.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I will definitely open a store in Yanjing when the time comes." Zeng Wenjie said.
Yan Xinyi was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then I wish you could open a snack shop in Yanjing soon. I will definitely visit it often."
With the start of a booming business, subsequent customers began to pour in.
Ye Qiansheng suddenly felt a sense of relief. Judging from the looks of it, the branch's business would not be bad. It could even be said to be extremely good, booming, the kind that could drain the surrounding copycat stores dry.
Moreover, in order to get the peripherals they want, many customers directly choose to spend money and recharge their membership cards, and then receive the designated peripherals after reaching a certain amount.
In just one morning, the snacks on the shelves were restocked several times.
Zheng Hong had no business since opening the shop this morning, so she came out to wait and see. She was stunned to see that the "copycat" snack shop next door was doing brisk business. She came over to take a look and was shocked to see that it was packed with people!
"Hey, Auntie, how's business? Our business is pretty good, so I guess your shop should be busy too!"
Ye Qiansheng was indeed the same as Zeng Wenjie. He came out to smoke a cigarette and take a break. He happened to see Zheng Hong and immediately greeted her with a smile.
Zheng Hong's chubby face suddenly darkened, and he cursed, "You have no fucking business ethics. You copied my store and took away all my business. Do you have any shame? Do you have any shame!"
Ye Qiansheng said, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I copied yours, but my business is better than yours! What do you think? Are you angry? Beat me to death!"
Zheng Hong was so angry that she jumped up on the spot. Seeing that the snack business was so good, she was anxious!
Ye Qiansheng was too lazy to explain to her who was the pioneer of the snack market. When dealing with such people, you can't reason with them. The more you talk, the worse it will make you.
If she tries to be unreasonable, just go right in front of her and attack her.
Zheng Hong decided to call her brother to see if he had any ideas.
After the call, the younger brother sighed and said, "Sister, it's not us they copied, it's all the snack shops in Windy City, they copied them! Snacks is in a state of panic. It's the first snack shop, and it was founded by a college student. It was even on the news..."
Zheng Hong was stunned when she heard this and asked, "Can you give me some advice? My shop has had no business at all this morning. All the people have gone to their place!"
"There's no other way, let's change to another business..." my brother sighed.
"No, that won't work. The snack shop is my hard work!" Zheng Hong refused directly.
She even ran back to the door of the snack store to observe carefully.
This woman is quite clever. She discovered that the popularity of this store seems to be due to "The Voice of China" and Lao Xie?
So, she felt that she had found a way, and immediately went to the advertising shop to order posters of "The Voice of China" and Lao Xie.
This idiot has absolutely no awareness of copyright.
