Chapter 583 Franchise Store
After more than a month of tense nerves, Chen Qingqing relaxed and quickly fell asleep.
While she was sleeping, a dozen handsome guys were surrounding her and showing their courtesy to her.
One of them had a tough look and was massaging her shoulders. His technique was neither too light nor too heavy, and it felt so comfortable on her body.
"Princess, am I massaging you comfortably?"
"Not bad, reward!"
"Thank you, Princess. I will serve you more wholeheartedly in the future."
At this moment, another handsome man with a gentle appearance was putting a peeled grape into her mouth.
She opened her thin lips, took the grape in her mouth, and chewed it gently.
"Princess, are the grapes sweet?"
Chen Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Sweet, so sweet to this princess' heart, there will be a huge reward!"
"Thank you, Princess. It is my honor to serve you. I am deeply grateful."
A smile flashed across Chen Qingqing's lips. Cool, the princess's treatment was indeed cool.
Life is so wonderful with so many handsome guys serving you.
Chuck, chuck... Chen Qingqing couldn't help but let out a series of pig-like laughter.
"My daughter, wake up quickly. Are you having sleep hysteria?" Lin's voice sounded in her ears.
Chen Qingqing opened her sleepy eyes, wiped the corners of her mouth, and thought of the scene in her dream just now. She couldn't help feeling embarrassed. Was this considered sexual desire?
No, no, no, she's not that lewd.
There are so many handsome men, let alone doing anything, just looking at them makes my head hurt!
Such a nonsensical dream must be caused by thinking too much before going to bed last night.
She doesn't seek wealth and honor in her life, but only wants to win the heart of one person and stay with him till old age.
Chen Qingqing gave Lin an innocent smile, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're okay." Lin folded up the quilt and added casually, "Your eldest brother and Dabao are waiting for you in the front hall. They seem to have something to tell you."
"Okay, I understand." Chen Qingqing nodded in agreement.
Arriving at the front hall, after a few pleasantries, Dabao went straight to the point.
"Sister Qingqing, I haven't found a suitable opportunity these days. Today I want to report to you about our sugar factory."
As he spoke, he handed a stack of account books to Chen Qingqing, "This is the detailed account statement of our company's income in the past few months."
Chen Qingqing looked at the account book and was amazed. She didn't expect that she could earn so much money in just a few months.
Chen Dabao continued, "Now our white sugar and brown sugar are almost everywhere in the Daning Dynasty. I have also established trading companies in each county to sell local specialties to all regions. At the same time, I have also opened up trade with foreign countries. I estimate that in no time, our income will triple."
"Dabao, I was right about you. Keep going."
"Don't worry, Sister Qingqing, I will continue to work hard."
As soon as Dabao finished speaking, Chen Feng took over the conversation.
"Qing girl, I also have good news for you. Our Ruyilou has already opened five branches in Anyang. Business in each store is booming. I have already made up my mind. Next, I will open branches in Fengyang, Huaiyuan, and Ningjing. I want to open our Ruyilou throughout the Great Ning Dynasty."
Hearing this, Chen Qingqing shook her head and smiled.
"Brother, your idea is good, but the restaurant business cannot be compared with the sugar factory. As long as white sugar and brown sugar are processed in Nanshan Village, no matter where they are sold, as long as the accounts are kept well, it will be fine. But opening a restaurant is different.
Your energy is limited. If you really want to do everything, you will not be able to do it alone. Even if you have three heads and six arms, it will be difficult to do everything.
For example, operational details, consumption differences, and investment costs across different regions. Rather than being stuck in a bottleneck where we can't handle everything, we should promote the Ruyilou brand and develop a franchise model."
Chen Feng frowned, obviously not understanding what she meant. "Qing girl, what do you mean by brand and franchise?"
After hearing his question, Chen Qingqing realized that these terms were too profound, and hurriedly explained with a smile,
"To put it simply, a brand is the 'impression' a food or a store creates in people's minds. For example, when people mention 'lotus crisps', they know they come from Caifangzhai in Qingshui Town. When they mention 'hundred flowers preserved fruit', everyone knows they come from Delicious Pavilion."
"I understand." Chen Feng looked as if he had suddenly realized something. "When people mention Malatang, they know it comes from our Ruyilou. So what is a franchise?"
"Franchise chains are when someone wants to open a store. Although they have money, they lack the skills and experience. We can provide them with the Ruyilou brand and secret ingredients, and we charge a fee..."
"No, no, this won't do." Before Chen Qingqing could finish her words, Chen Feng shook his head and refused. "Our secret base can't be passed on to others. As the saying goes, teaching an apprentice means starving the master. If we really pass on our spicy hot pot recipe to others, they will become our competitors."
Chen Dabao also looked puzzled, "Yes, Sister Qingqing, does this franchise method have any drawbacks?"
Chen Qingqing was not surprised by their reaction. "Our information is not leaked, but provided for a fee."
"How much money can you make from selling base ingredients? It would be better to open more branches." Chen Feng still disagreed.
Chen Qingqing shook her head and chuckled, "Brother, you are wrong. We not only make money from the base materials, but the franchise fee is also a huge income.
After the franchise is successful, the better the franchisee's business is, the more base materials we sell.
For example, a restaurant needs to spend twenty taels of silver every month to purchase base materials, which means an annual income of two hundred and forty taels of silver.
If fifty or a hundred companies join us, calculate how much money we will make."
After hearing this, Chen Feng suddenly realized, "If you calculate it this way, that's a considerable income, but will anyone join?"
Without waiting for Chen Qingqing to speak, Chen Dabao hurriedly said,
"Yes, of course! Every customer who has come here and tried Ruyilou's spicy hot pot has asked me when Ruyilou will open a branch in their area. As long as we tell them the news that Ruyilou is recruiting franchisees, I believe many people will come to us to invest and open branches."
"If that's the case, then that's fantastic." Chen Feng slapped his thigh happily and looked at Chen Qingqing. "Little sister, how much is a suitable franchise fee?"
Chen Qingqing thought for a while and said, "People who can open a restaurant are not short of money, so I will charge a franchise fee of one thousand taels of silver."
"One thousand taels of silver! Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Brother, you're worrying too much. Not all of the 1,000 taels of silver belongs to us. It includes the signboard usage fee, deposit, decoration fee, and initial material cost, etc."
Hearing this, Chen Dabao couldn't help but speak, "Sister Qingqing, you are so amazing. I believe that with the signboard of Ruyi Tower, it will quickly spread to every corner of Daning Dynasty."
