Lin Yifeng wouldn't waste time on thugs, and neither would Ye Wuzheng.
From the time Feng Shunhu came to their door with a knife demanding protection money to the time he and Zhao Cheng were arrested, exactly one week had passed.
Lin Yifeng was also busy during this week.
He first settled the payment for the first batch of supplies with Shuanghui, and at the same time told the person in charge of Shuanghui the location of the second Wallace (Pojie store), asking the person in charge to deliver the goods to the two stores.
Lin Yifeng then transferred Xu Qingyi and Xu Wanxia from Wallace (Hebei Vocational University branch) to Wallace (Pojie branch) to be in charge of the branch's renovation work.
They bought an oven and a freezer, supervised the renovation, and then went to the job market to recruit five employees and begin training them.
On April 11, 1992, nine days after Feng Shunhu came to the door with a knife.
The crackling sound of firecrackers woke up the residents living near the dilapidated street. When the shop owners opened their doors, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.
Just like the opening of Wallace's first store 12 days ago, a long queue formed outside the Wallace Pojie store when it opened.
The long line was even longer than the opening day of Wallace's first store.
because...
On the opening day of Wallace's Pojie store, not only was everything 20% off, but new products were also launched.
French fries, chicken drumsticks, honey-glazed roasted chicken, chicken fillet burgers, steak burgers, spicy burgers, and more.
In terms of beverages, the selection has expanded from just Tianfu Cola to include a variety of options such as juice and coffee.
"Wallace opened a second store so quickly!"
"Wow, there are so many people in line. Wallace's business must be booming."
"Western food is so popular?"
The shop owner on the broken street was shocked by the popularity of Wallace and the number of people queuing. A Wallace meal costs 9.8 yuan, and even with a 20% discount today, it's still 7.8 yuan.
You can buy 3 jin of meat for 7.8 yuan.
They didn't understand, but they were envious. Even some shop owners on the street whose business was so bad they were about to close down were wondering if they should follow Wallace's example and sell fried chicken and hamburgers.
"Your Wallace business is really booming."
Next to two flower baskets at the entrance of the shop.
Ye Wu was wearing a uniform, holding a police baton, and chatting with Lin Yifeng.
Lin Yifeng is very good at getting things done.
After Feng Shunhu and Zhao Cheng were arrested and detained, Lin Yifeng immediately arranged for people to carry the banner and plaque, and deliver them to the Muye City Public Security Bureau with drums and gongs, to thank the Muye City Public Security Bureau for its great contribution to the fight against organized crime.
At the same time, Lin Yifeng also slipped Feng Xinghe a red envelope.
Feng Xinghe was an editor at the Muye Daily and wielded considerable power. He felt the thickness of Lin Yifeng's red envelope, then followed behind the crowd of people banging drums and gongs, snapping photos.
The following day, the Muye Daily reported that the people were celebrating with gongs and drums the arrest of a criminal gang in Muye City.
Ye Wuzheng inwardly agreed with Lin Yifeng's actions. For someone like him who yearned for progress, neither Zhonghua cigarettes nor Moutai liquor could compare to Lin Yifeng's maneuver.
because...
This is a political achievement!
"Business was good on the first day of opening, but the foot traffic dropped after the second day."
Lin Yifeng frankly stated that sales at the Wallace River Vocational University store have entered a period of stagnation, with daily turnover ranging from approximately two to three thousand yuan, after deducting employee wages, food supplies, utilities, heating, and other miscellaneous expenses.
The Wallace River Vocational College store earns a net profit of between 1,500 and 2,500 yuan per day.
Lin Yifeng did a simple estimate, and the Wallace River Vocational University store had a monthly net profit of about 60,000 yuan.
In the 1990s, 60,000 a month sounded extremely exaggerated.
But for Lin Yifeng, it was not enough at all, far from enough!
60,000 a month, that's only 720,000 a year. What can you do with that little money?
They weren't even qualified to bid for CCTV advertising.
"Hey, Lin Shao, you're too greedy. Your daily income is more than my annual income."
Ye Wu was joking when Lin Yifeng laughed and said, "You're comparing a civil servant's salary to that of a shop owner?"
Is this even comparable?
...
On the opening of the new store, Ye Wuzheng led a team to maintain order and support Wallace.
After the crowds had thinned out, Ye Wuzheng spoke with Lin Yifeng and led his team back to the Public Security Bureau to report.
After Ye Wuzheng left, Lin Yifeng also left. Now that Wallace had gone through the Feng Shunhu incident, most criminal gangs no longer dared to cause trouble.
Still driving his diesel tricycle, Lin Yifeng toured the entire city of Muye, buying three more shops and leasing one more.
These four shops are located in the north, west, south, and the center of the old town of Makino City, respectively.
The four shops, together with the Wallace River Vocational College shop and the Broken Street shop, form a circle that surrounds Makino City.
Lin Yifeng had conducted a market survey of Makino City. Given the current population and spending power of Makino City, six stores were already the limit.
"In the northern district of Makino City, there are Workers' Street Elementary School, Children's Cultural Palace, Xinhua Bookstore, No. 2 Middle School, No. 9 Middle School, etc."
"The shop on the west side of Makino City is located between the train station and the bus station. This shop has the highest customer traffic in the entire Makino City."
"The shops on the south side have slightly less foot traffic, but if Wallace wants to dominate the entire Makino City, this shop must open."
"The old town center has the second highest customer traffic after the train station. This is a favorite spot for young people. There are three parks nearby, as well as a department store, a pedestrian street, and more."
With four stores covering the entire city of Makino, once these four Wallace branches open, the fried chicken and burger market in Makino will be temporarily monopolized by Wallace.
"If there are no competitors, the six Wallace stores can contribute about 400,000 yuan in profit to me every month."
Lin Yifeng rubbed his hands together with slight anticipation. A monthly income of 400,000 yuan was enough to support his next move.
However, a net profit of 400,000 is an extremely ideal scenario, and Lin Yifeng doesn't think Wallace can contribute 400,000 to him so smoothly in a month.
Just like there are four or five ring toss stalls outside Jinyang Park now.
Lin Yifeng estimated that within a month at most, other fried chicken and burger shops would definitely appear in Makino City.
"Open four branches first, and seize the market as quickly as possible."
"Otherwise, once others enter the fried chicken and burger market, Wallace's market will be swallowed up."
...
"Guess who I saw, guys?!"
Hebei Vocational University, dormitory.
When Lin Yifeng returned to the dormitory, Sun Guowei, who slept in the bunk above Lin Yifeng, shouted at his roommate who was playing cards in an extremely exaggerated tone.
"Who is it? Who did you see?"
Has the dormitory supervisor arrived yet?
"Oh my, it's Lin Yifeng! It's actually Lin Yifeng!"
"Lin Yifeng, where are the local specialties? Where are the local specialties you brought from your home?"
Since the first Wallace restaurant opened, Lin Yifeng has been in a state of attending classes for half a day and taking half a day off.
After Feng Shunhu's incident, Lin Yifeng simply took a two-week leave.
Since I've already given Zhao Zhongsheng cigarettes, I might as well use this connection!
