Tianchen Technology now has over 10,000 registered users, and this is just the beginning. The situation is already much better than everyone initially expected.

Regardless, Li Tian remained optimistic about the situation of his companies.

Sisi, who was transferred to Tianchen Technology Company to continue working in the live streaming industry with her group of junior streamers, was not very optimistic about it.

Although she doesn't understand company management or anything like that, she does understand live streaming software.

The company has spent tens of millions of yuan on advertising this software alone.

There are many similar companies in China, all vying for users. The market size is limited, and the input and output seem disproportionate.

Hearing Sisi's worries, Lu Fan smiled and said:

"The company's main business is not the live streaming industry; this part doesn't make up the majority of the revenue. Even if you don't trust Brother Li, you have to trust me, General Manager Lu."

Sisi was so embarrassed by Lu Fan's teasing.

Li Tian and his group of rough men were quite friendly to Sisi, after all, she was beautiful and a famous streamer.

After inquiring about Tianchen Technology, Lu Fan had nothing else to do.

He was just about to go home when Zhou Huan called again:

"President Lu, I didn't see you when I got back to the company. Where have you been?" Lu Fan raised an eyebrow, wondering what Zhou Huan wanted to do at this hour.

However, Zhou Huan is a man of his own mind. He will handle things himself if he can, unless the problem is very big and has far-reaching consequences, in which case he will wait for Lu Fan's reply.

This time, the fact that he took the initiative to come to the company to see the boss shows that there is a problem that needs to be solved.

Since Lu Fan didn't have any urgent business to attend to at home, he instructed the new driver to turn around and head towards the company.

Zhou Huan didn't wait long in the office before Lu Fan arrived.

Tianchen Technology Company has not yet moved into the office building at Fanyue Shopping Plaza to work with the real estate company.

So it's still a bit far away, about a half-hour drive.

It was rush hour again.

Lu Fan was considered late to the office. When he arrived, only a group of overtime workaholics from the newly moved-in companies remained in the office building.

Even his own company's employees had already left work on time.

Lu Fan used his access card to open the door and found Zhou Huan waiting in the office.

"Have you been waiting long? Perfect timing, I brought you some food, let's eat and chat."

What he was carrying was originally meant to be Jiang Manyue's stewed bird's nest with rock sugar, but it turned out to be a good snack for the hungry Zhou Huan.

Zhou Huan called out "President Lu" apologetically, then stood up and handed the proposal he had prepared to Lu Fan.

The project proposal is divided into two parts, one of which is the plan that is now relatively mature.

This concisely marks the important milestone of Baiyue Supermarket's entry into the top ten national chain supermarkets.

Neither Zhou Huan nor Lu Fan had any questions about this part.

If Baiyue Supermarket continues to operate in a step-by-step manner, it will be able to successfully expand by the end of the year.

As for whether or not to expand beyond China and become a large-scale international chain supermarket, that depends on next year's plans.

Lu Fan glanced at it briefly and then put it down.

He then turned to look at another part of Zhou Huan's plan, which he himself considered somewhat immature:

Preliminary plans for building convenience stores under the Baiyue Supermarket brand.

Upon seeing just this title, Lu Fan raised an eyebrow, clearly showing that he too had become interested in the plan:

"Interesting. Did you come up with this recently?"

Hearing President Lu ask this question, Zhou Huan nodded hurriedly:

"It's not something I've thought about recently; I've had this idea for a long time, ever since I was in Guangyuan..."

Because what we do is operate supermarkets.

When Zhou Huan was at Guangyuan, he focused on analyzing the issue of supermarket audiences.

I discovered that although these convenience stores are small, they are small but complete.

It can be set up anywhere, and the requirements for employees and the number of employees are not many.

These small shops may seem inconspicuous, but after careful observation and calculation, Zhou Huan discovered that their annual turnover is quite substantial!

After all, most people who go to convenience stores are people who work or live nearby. They choose their purchases for convenience and are not too sensitive to prices.

Zhou Huan explained to Lu Fan:

"Baiyue Supermarket is a large chain supermarket, and it is particular about the location of its supermarkets. But convenience stores are different; they can be located anywhere on the street or in alleys."

"Furthermore, the logistics and distribution system we specially designed for Baiyue can completely cover all of the convenience store's 5.5 procurement."

"This way, we don't need to add too many staff, and we can also optimize the warehousing routes for logistics and distribution."

They can also get even lower purchase prices from merchants.

In other words, without solving any new problems or making any additional investments, another convenience store business can be established on the existing foundation. It's practically all benefits and no drawbacks.

While Zhou Huan was explaining his plans, Lu Fan was also searching for information about the operation of convenience stores in China.

He discovered that these franchised convenience stores in China were all foreign-owned enterprises, and their headquarters were not located in China.
