Chapter 237 Tired
"It's nice, but I don't really need it."
After listening to the other party's story, Zhou Anan couldn't help but admire the other party's keen observation, but unfortunately he disappointed the other party.
He currently cannot use any smart home system.
Although he had a large suite in Hangzhou, the decoration was done by his lover and senior schoolmate. Zhou Anan had no say in it except paying for it.
"It's okay. If it's convenient, could you please leave me your contact information? You may need other products that my company represents."
Chen Ke was prepared for the other party's rejection and still spoke with a smile.
The mental quality is excellent.
"Can."
Zhou Anan didn't mind leaving contact information for such a capable and good-looking elite.
“This is my business card.”
"I don't have a business card, so why don't you leave me your number? Okay, the car I'm waiting for is here, we'll talk again when we have the chance."
After taking the other party's business card and telling her own number, Zhou Anan saw a red Ferrari slowly stop beside her and waved with a smile.
"You know him?"
After the boy got in the car, Yu Xianer asked casually.
"I just met her. She's a very capable girl."
Zhou Anan looked at the business card in his hand and found that the other party was already a deputy manager of a department, so he couldn't help shaking his head.
These days, there are deputy manager positions everywhere, and one has to go to the market in person. It seems that it’s not easy to survive in Hangzhou.
"Yi Zheng Industry and Trade? It's quite famous, specializing in being an agent for high-end home products."
Glancing at the business card, Yu Xianer said with a smile.
"oh."
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t the manager he knew. Zhou Anan smiled but didn’t care.
We first went to the company to meet up with Wang Rong and Vice President Gu, and then a group of four people in two cars started our inspection trip.
Due to rapid expansion, the number of branches in Hangzhou had expanded to 35. After rectification and integration, the small stores were eliminated and merged, leaving 13 stores.
However, in terms of staffing, it has increased rather than decreased.
In addition to the increased number of waiters in each flagship store, the number of reserve personnel included in the store manager training list has reached as many as 50, in preparation for the subsequent expansion of directly-operated stores.
Also, provide store staff for new brand stores.
Although the new brand adopts the franchise route, it first builds its reputation through its own directly-operated stores.
In Hangzhou, the new brand does not plan to develop franchise stores.
"Welcome to Qinglan Tea."
Walking into a flagship store in CBD, five waiters standing behind the counter greeted customers with smiles on their faces.
"Well enough."
Looking around the flagship store which is about 100 square meters, Zhou Anan nodded.
The investment in rent and decoration for this flagship store is equivalent to that of seven or eight small stores before it.
I don’t know whether the strategy he has decided on will result in losses.
However, seeing that the store is almost full of customers, Zhou Anan feels that the possibility of losing money is unlikely.
Anyway, he doesn't plan to make much money in this industry in the next two years.
What he is looking at is the future financial prospects.
"Two cappuccinos, please."
"Is it hot or iced?"
"Two cups without ice."
"Okay, here is your receipt. Please go to the food pickup area and wait."
It took about a minute to buy two cups of coffee. Zhou Anan was quite satisfied with the waiter's attitude and efficiency.
Starbucks’ model is good, but it’s too annoying to keep selling to customers every time they buy something.
"How about it?"
Taking the coffee handed to her by the boy, Yu Xianer asked with a smile.
"Compared to Starbucks, it's not bad, but there's room for improvement. In addition, we can add a book corner and put some classic novels. The CBD store can also add some books on economics and management to add to the atmosphere."
After taking a bite, Zhou Anan gave some advice.
Relatively speaking, in terms of taste, Zhou Anan still prefers Starbucks's Jiao Ma.
Of course, at present, after adding imported coffee beans as raw materials, the taste is not bad.
You know, Qinglan Tea spends millions a year on its R&D team, and Zhou Anan will not let them get high salaries so easily.
Only when there is pressure can there be progress.
Catching up with Starbucks is more than just a slogan.
"Well, then the next one."
Service and environment were the focus of Zhou Anan and his team's inspection, and the rest was the responsibility of Wang Rong and his team.
From four o'clock to eight-thirty in the evening, Zhou Anan and his companions visited a total of seven flagship stores.
Although some minor problems were found and there is still a lot of room for improvement, the overall situation is still good.
The most important thing is that each flagship store is doing good business.
"See you tomorrow."
At the gate of Nanzhouyuan, Zhou Anan and Miss Yu waved goodbye.
Instead of going to room 3111, Zhou Anan came to the door of room 1111. After opening it, she saw the figure of a certain heroine lying on the sofa.
This night, of course, was filled with red, fragrant flowers and soft tents, and they were so affectionate that they didn't know where to end.
Starting at nine o'clock the next morning, Zhou Anan and his colleagues inspected the remaining six stores again.
When I returned to the company, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
"Eat something casually first, and I'll treat you to a big meal for dinner."
Pointing to the fast food packed by his subordinates, Yu Xianer said with a smile.
"It's okay, let me tell you about the problems I found first."
The meeting lasted for nearly an hour, during which everyone expressed their opinions and then added and refined several regulations to the management manual of the direct-operated stores.
After renovating the local flagship store in Hangzhou, the next step is to renovate the flagship stores in other urban areas. That will not be Zhou Anan’s job anymore, she can just follow the template.
It seems that, apart from the ones in Hangzhou, the remaining ones are four tea shops in Lucheng and Lizhou, which are privately invested by Zhou Anan.
To this end, Zhou Anan personally withdrew 300,000 yuan from Qinglan Tea’s account.
After deducting the initial investment and adding the previous profits, the net profit was more than 400,000 in more than half a year.
Of course, Zhang Ting, the person in charge of Lucheng, and Zhou Shun, the person in charge of Lizhou, remain in their positions.
However, as a store manager, the 5% stock dividend he originally enjoyed was reduced to 3%, the same as the managers of other flagship stores.
"Then I'll trouble you guys with the stores in Lucheng and Lizhou."
After closing the folder, Zhou Anan, who felt a little dizzy, smiled and said to Wang Rong and the others.
"I'm not tired, it's mainly because Mr. Gu does a lot of work."
Wang Rong said this with a smile, not taking any credit for it.
After taking management courses at school and following Vice President Gu for a few months, Wang Rong felt that his knowledge and horizons had been significantly broadened and he benefited a lot.
"Mr. Wang, you're welcome."
With a polite smile, the talkative Gu Lanshan confirmed the opinions of several major shareholders and made a decision.
"Okay, let Mr. Yu treat us to dinner. We'll see you then."
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Zhou Anan prepared to leave.
The time he spent on Qinglan Tea in the past two days was more than the total time he had spent in the previous year.
For Zhou Anan, who could become a billionaire without doing anything in the future, this was already very "tiring".
"I'll take you wherever you're going."
What followed was the job of the professionals, and Yu Xianer also stood up and left.
“4S store.”
Zhou Anan walked to the passenger seat very naturally and sat down. Feeling some kind of gaze on him, he paused for a moment and then stood up very naturally.
"Um."
With a cold snort, after the other party obediently walked out of the passenger seat, Yu Xian'er handed him the car keys and sat in herself.
