Chapter 583: Taking an Unconventional Path

An Zhixia nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, in Xiahua, only wealthy families can enter western restaurants. If you, KF, want to develop in the long run, you have to face ordinary people, so whether you can cater to the appetite of the people, whether the pricing is reasonable, and whether the profit is considerable are all unknown.

Because I have never received any experience, market research is not very valuable as a reference.”

Lance smiled helplessly: "Before, we only considered whether the company could be opened in Xiahua, and we really didn't consider too many practical issues.

After our last conversation, we began to look at the present and discovered a number of problems.”

"Are you still planning to open a store in Xiahua?" An Zhixia said with a faint smile.

"Of course we have to open it," a senior executive who was not too old nodded heavily and said, "Our KF fast food chain is originally aimed at the general public, with affordable prices, and we follow the path of small profits but quick turnover. In all aspects, we can't compare with big hotels.

However, the more branches we open, the more people will come to our stores to shop, and we will have considerable income. After all, the size and coverage of a store are limited, and our store operation model has become systematic, so we should open stores all over the world. "

"Since you have decided to open up the Xiahua market, you must show enough sincerity," she said knowingly, "If you come up with a specific plan, I can help you submit it, but there is only one chance.

So, have you thought about what kind of model you will use to open a store in Xiahua?"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sit up straight and look at each other.

Although Xia Hua in 1982 advocated development in all aspects and integration with the international community, its implementation had to be done step by step and in a down-to-earth manner, with exploration as the process went along, so the pace was not fast in the early stages.

Even some old ideas from the past would restrict this development. They thought about it solemnly and then gathered together to discuss it.

Since they had already come up with many plans before coming, they would now select two or three of them and then make the final modifications.

An Zhixia waited patiently.

Fang Yuan was talking in her ear.

Nearly half an hour later, Lance took out the final revised contract and handed it to An Zhixia: "Mrs. Fang, can you help us take a look at it?"

An Zhixia took it.

She looked very quickly, her brows furrowed, and everyone was very nervous.

"You just insist on using local employees from Xiahua, allowing the price to be cheaper, and then take out 10% of the profits as charity funds and give back to our Xiahua organization?" An Zhixia raised his eyebrows and asked.

Lance's smile was a little forced, "From what Madam Fang said, you're not too satisfied?

You have to know that a store requires a lot of preparation. Even if the store is open, there are still many things we need to worry about. Various advertisements have to be inserted later. We have to set aside this cost in advance, right?

All in all, this contract is the best deal we can offer.”

An Zhixia shook her head and pushed the contract back: "I thought you were doing big business and would have a long-term vision. However, I think I was wrong.

A good and big business does not mean that its managers are decisive enough.

You can insist on making huge profits, but I dare say it will be difficult for you to open a business in Xiahua, or even if you can withstand the pressure from all sides and open a store, it will definitely not last long."

Several people had distressed expressions on their faces; giving up profits was tantamount to digging out their loved ones!

Lance gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said in one breath: "Mrs. Fang, why don't you help us find a way. If the Xiahua organization agrees to let us open KF, I will definitely come to thank you handsomely!"

An Zhixia hesitated, then sighed and said, "Xia Hua's current situation shows that you can only solve the fundamental problem by taking an unconventional approach.

What are we afraid of? Aren't we afraid that you will bring your own country's system into Xiahua and corrupt us from the root? If you can only dispel everyone's concerns, it is equivalent to taking ninety-nine steps. Do you still need to work hard for the remaining step? "

Several people looked at her with expectation and fear.

"You also said that you need to open more branches to earn more profits. Xiahua is a vast market with a large population. Even if you develop for another 20 years, it will be difficult to swallow this tempting 'cake' in one go.

So I suggest that you transfer the store, including the brand, recipe, seasoning, etc., to Xiahua merchants at one time. They will be the agents for KF and pay a certain fee every year as brand management fee and advertising sharing fee.

The more branches you open, the more profits you will earn.

This is the phrase "small profits but quick turnover".

What do you think? "

They frowned, thought for a long time, and then discussed intensely for a long time.

The film festival process is very fixed, almost copying the standard auction model, except that the auction session is replaced by awarding awards to artists.

An Zhixia and Fang Yuan just came to join in the fun and have some fun. They had no intention of making any outstanding performance at the film festival. They just wanted to gain some experience.

After the award ceremony was over, Lance and the others finally reached a consensus.

"Mrs. Fang, we'll do as you suggest. We'll revise the contract when we get back and print out a few copies for you in advance.

I hope you can hand the contract to the staff of Xiahua Organization."

As he was talking, Lance took out a checkbook and a pen from his pocket, wrote a few words on it, and handed it to An Zhixia, "This is a small token of our appreciation. Whether it succeeds or not, we will thank you."

An Zhixia took a glance and saw a two at the beginning, followed by five zeros!

She pushed the check back and said, "No need, we will all work together to open the first KF fast food restaurant chain in Xiahua Kyoto.

This is a very important thing for both a businessman and a Xiahua citizen.”

Lance couldn't refuse, so he burned the check and looked at her gratefully, "Everything is left to Mrs. Fang! We are waiting for your good news."

They discussed some details and further improved the contract.

Seeing their interest growing, An Zhixia couldn't help but remind them, "Don't be too optimistic. Whether the contract can be approved is another matter.

In general, you should be mentally prepared that the organization will definitely add some more stringent conditions."

Lance just went for it and waved his hand nonchalantly: "I believe in you, Xia Hua, you will never let us do a business at a loss. So the initial profit is not important."

An Zhixia responded with a smile.

By the time they had finished their talk, the film festival was already coming to an end.

After everyone greeted each other, they dispersed with a sense of reluctance.

The next day, Lance came with the final revised contract.
