But everyone was shrewd enough not to press the matter further. Despite their burning curiosity, they still managed to bid farewell to their kindred spirits with composure.
…
"Boss Zhi, what are your thoughts? How do you plan to cooperate?"
After the other shopkeepers left, Shopkeeper Jin's expression became increasingly urgent and serious. "I sincerely want to make changes and cooperate, so I hope you, Boss, can tell me the truth. I would be extremely grateful!"
After saying this, he sincerely bowed respectfully to his confidant.
"Hahaha, of course, Mr. Jin, don't worry..."
Zhiyin didn't hide anything; after thinking for a moment, she began to explain her thoughts in detail.
"You must have heard those countless dish names or categories just now, right?"
Zhiyin stared intently at Manager Jin, and after she nodded, she added, "My ultimate goal is to open all these food stores throughout the country."
"But it will definitely be very slow if I do it all by myself!"
"That's why we need your help. For example, don't you happen to own a restaurant?"
"I can be responsible for developing the recipes for all the dishes in the restaurant, and I can formulate relevant management methods, employee welfare and membership systems, etc..."
"And you will be responsible for providing the money and effort, serving as the nominal manager of the restaurant!"
"We'll split the profits 50/50."
"Isn't this... a little unfair?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Jin immediately frowned.
Just as he was about to say something, Zhiyin immediately interrupted him with a smile, "Wait a minute, Manager Jin! I haven't finished yet!"
Let me first tell you my general idea.
Zhiyin didn't hide anything and told him all her hopes and ideas for the future so that he would have a clear understanding.
"This restaurant that we just opened is definitely the flagship store. We will open various branches in the future."
"Apart from the newly opened flagship store, which requires more effort and investment, the subsequent branch stores are much better."
"Moreover, our goal is to create a household name brand, so that everything we do in the future, whether it's eating, drinking, or having fun, will be named after this brand!"
"Later on, we can do all sorts of collaborations... In short, business won't be bad!"
"And all you need is the initial investment..."
…
The confidant shared all his thoughts at once.
The focus was on her innovations and planning for the restaurant, etc.
She could easily work alone, but that would be too slow.
It would be better to cooperate with these shopkeepers. She would only need to provide a recipe and establish the most crucial management system, employee benefits, and so on.
Once all these shops are established nationwide, she can sit back and collect money like a big boss.
Once she had enough money, she really wanted to write various scripts and have opera singers or related actors perform them, thus promoting actors who belong to this era.
Then, by leveraging the fame of these actors, they can collaborate on various food, milk tea, clothing, jewelry, and other products.
She certainly has a lot of ideas, but if she takes it slow, the process will be far too inefficient!
She longed to see the abundance of modern food and entertainment options available in this era.
"Okay, okay, okay!!!"
"Your ideas are fantastic!!! A lot of people will definitely like that mahjong game, I'm interested in cooperating!!!"
Manager Jin, who hadn't taken it seriously at first, couldn't sit still any longer. His eyes lit up, and he was almost bursting with excitement.
Of course, most importantly, after analyzing the extent of its power, he realized that he hadn't actually put in much effort.
Although there were some risks in starting the first new-style restaurant, what business doesn't involve risks?
Moreover, if the future envisioned by Zhiyin is real, then this is undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity!
Once you grasp it correctly, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you'll soar to new heights!
"Haha, I knew Manager Jin was a straightforward person!!"
Zhiyin smiled, then immediately became serious and said, "But I must make it clear first, I have very high standards when it comes to food!"
"Furthermore, I also have my own considerations regarding employee benefits, and I hope that Manager Jin will have full authority over these matters."
"At that time, I will formulate a food-related code of conduct and related recruitment requirements and benefits, etc... I hope Manager Jin will not stop me!"
"After all, these details are very important if you want to build a good brand. I'm sure you understand that, Mr. Jin?"
"Of course, of course!!"
Manager Jin nodded without hesitation.
"Alright, in that case, let's talk about the details of the upcoming collaboration. By the way, since you're the first collaborator, you're essentially one of the founders of this brand!"
"Then you can choose to open a restaurant, a barbecue restaurant, or a hot pot restaurant, etc..."
"Once you've made your selection, all branches within that category will be under your management. Future store owners will only be able to choose from other categories!"
Upon hearing that everything was under his jurisdiction, for some reason, even though Manager Jin was no longer a young lad, he still felt a long-lost surge of passion, and his entire face flushed with excitement.
After thinking for a moment, he decisively said, "Let's go with a restaurant! I'm familiar with that, and I have experience there!"
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. I need to write down all the relevant cooperation precautions, division of responsibilities, and other related issues. We can go to the government office to draw up a contract later, which will be better for both of us."
"If you are not satisfied with the details of the contract, you can bring them up later."
"Okay, okay!!"
Manager Jin understood that this was important, and immediately nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll write the contract soon. I hope our cooperation will go smoothly!"
Zhiyin stood up solemnly and extended her hand to shake hands with Manager Jin.
…
After saying goodbye to Manager Jin, Zhiyin didn't rest. She quickly found paper and pen and started writing.
The contract is essentially the same as a modern partnership agreement.
It mainly includes the responsibilities and obligations of both parties, and the content under their respective jurisdictions.
The management and profit sharing of the head office and future branches, the percentage of profits, practical operational management, cooperation period, business scope, etc.
Only by writing it all down clearly can we avoid disputes.
After looking at everything above, Zhiyin carefully examined it again before finally putting down his pen with satisfaction.
In the contract, Zhiyin holds an absolute leadership position. If a partner misuses inferior products or does anything that damages the brand image, Zhiyin can unilaterally dismiss that partner.
This is tantamount to a blatant unfair contract, but Zhiyin still wrote it this way.
After all, this is a restaurant; food safety and service are not something to be taken lightly!
