Sometimes, employees being too efficient can be a problem.
For example, Xu An wanted to see the conversion data of the live video the day before, and Tang Wen had already organized and reported it early in the morning; Xu An had just passed Lu Shengnan's request to open a branch store, and now Xu An was on his way to Huiyuan Shopping Mall.
In fact, the locations for the two branches in the townships had already been selected, but Xu An entrusted Lu Shengnan with the full responsibility for these two stores. Only the store in the shopping mall required him to personally visit and take a look.
There are two reasons. One reason is that the Huiyuan Shopping Mall store is not only a store that sells Xu's braised food, but it also serves as a transit point for Xu's fast food boxed meals.
Yes, this is the fourth transit point established in addition to the existing three transit points: Haishi Library, Red Brick Creative Park, and Yinxing Building office building. In other words, Xu's Fast Food's business scope has expanded once again.
The shop was not located inside Huiyuan Shopping Mall, but on the food street outside the mall.
It was lunchtime, and even during working hours, there were quite a few people strolling around the food street. Most of the shops were packed with people, and many pedestrians were holding drinks and carrying all sorts of snacks.
"This street has a pretty high pedestrian flow!" Xu An remarked, looking at the endless stream of pedestrians.
"Huiyuan Shopping Mall is backed by three communities, and is surrounded by two office buildings and a creative park. There are three primary schools, two middle schools, and one high school and one university. The daily foot traffic is 13,000 people on weekdays, and the peak foot traffic on holidays can reach 40,000 people."
Lu Shengnan presented a series of data very professionally, and even thoughtfully included data predictions for the store after its opening.
"According to the model analysis, after the shop is built and opened, it can sell an average of 800 jin of braised food and 1,700 boxed meals per day. The profits in three days can cover the entire shop's rent, utilities, and labor costs."
As they spoke, the two arrived at their target location for the shop. The shop was 2.5 meters wide, and a brand-new signboard hung above the door, bearing the words "QQ Milk Tea." Clearly, this was a milk tea shop that had just opened and then closed down.
The real estate agent, who was waiting at the door, saw Xu An and his companion arrive and immediately took out his key to open the shop door, inviting them inside for a tour.
The agent wanted to introduce the shop to the two again, but Lu Shengnan stopped him as soon as he opened his mouth. She then wisely stopped bothering them and stood outside the shop waiting for them to finish their tour and discuss the signing of the contract.
Although the shop is not wide, it is eight meters long. There is a back door at the back of the shop. Pushing open the door, you can see the main road outside. The triangular position is just right to park a small truck, which is very convenient for transporting braised food or boxed meals.
Seeing the satisfied look on Xu An's face, Lu Shengnan explained the rent, the calculation method for water and electricity, and the estimated renovation costs, totaling 60,000 yuan, which was 6,000 yuan more than previously estimated.
"Okay, you'll be in charge of arranging the decoration, recruitment, and advertising for these three shops." Xu An nodded in agreement without any objection.
Before the visit, Lu Shengnan instructed the agent to prepare the relevant documents. After obtaining Xu An's consent, the lease contracts for the three shops were signed together.
Checking the branch store locations was not the main purpose of my trip today. The main purpose of my trip today was to meet with nutritionist Li Jinyuan!
Yes, that's the nutritionist Li Jinyuan that the people at the table behind me were discussing when I visited the factory of Xinyang Shangchu Technology Co., Ltd.
Although Xu An did not know this person, the Law of Six has never failed: two strangers can establish a connection through six people.
After Xu An conveyed his request to find Li Jinyuan to Lu Shengnan, Lu Shengnan consulted a friend in the food industry. This friend then contacted a colleague, who in turn contacted another friend, making a total of six people. Xu An's request was then relayed to Li Jinyuan, and the two established contact.
When they arrived at the hotel private room, there were still a full forty minutes before their meeting. Lu Shengnan opened her laptop and reported the progress of other work to Xu An.
"The 21 prefecture-level cities can be connected by four different routes, the longest of which takes 18 hours to transport, and the shortest takes 6 hours. Long-distance transportation requires refrigerated transport vehicles, supplemented by vacuum packaging, to ensure the taste and quality of the braised food."
"These are the collected information and quotations for refrigerated transport vehicles. A 4.2-meter-long refrigerated truck has a rated load of five tons and costs 110,000 yuan per unit. If we are supplying refrigerated trucks to the Disabled Persons' Federations in 21 prefecture-level cities, we will need to purchase four refrigerated trucks initially. Including all the handling fees, the total cost will be 500,000 yuan."
"Because the cost of setting up a fleet is quite high, we can also consider cooperating with relevant transportation companies. The transportation cost for one ton of goods over 200 kilometers is 200 yuan, and the total transportation cost for 20 prefecture-level cities is 6,000 yuan per day."
Six thousand yuan a day, enough to buy a refrigerated transport vehicle in about half a month.
Although he knew that as the volume of transportation to the same place increased, the transportation cost would decrease, Xu An wanted a cold chain transport vehicle for his own shop even more.
Looking at the information on refrigerated transport vehicles that Lu Shengnan had compiled, the rows of trucks with indistinct designs parked on the open ground of the modern factory converted from an abandoned paper mill instantly became clear in my mind.
What's going on lately?
Ever since Aunt Hong told me that someone was hiding in the abandoned paper mill and doing bad things, I can't help but think about what it would be like if I rented that paper mill, no matter what I'm doing. It's one thing to dream about it when I'm sleeping, but now even when I'm listening to work reports, I can't help but think about it.
