29. Make KFC a staff cafeteria
The person who came here was Smith, the representative of KFC under Taikang Catering Company (the predecessor of Parkson Catering, a business department of Pepsi Group, the United States). He came to China this time to inspect the investment and construction of KFC fast restaurants in China. He heard that a 20-story building was built in Zhongguancun, Beijing, so he came to take a look.
As a result, after coming, I found that everything here was very consistent with his mind’s standards. The large parking lot at the door and the modern door face. He originally went to the front door and thought that the front door was in a good location, but it did not conform to his aesthetics. Instead, it made him feel more intimate.
When he arrived at the door of Zhanlong Technology Building, a person with a little unsophisticated leg stopped him.
"Who are you looking for?"
Smith decided to come today temporarily, and did not lead an interpreter. He said a lot of things, but Lao Wang didn't understand what the foreigner was doing. He just felt that the foreigner didn't look like a bad guy. So he connected the inside line and called Su Budong directly, saying that there was a foreigner below and didn't know what to do.
Su Budong quickly came down and communicated with Smith, so he invited Zhanlong's tea room. He also asked Wang Jiang, Liu Zhi and Zhang Yang to come down to chat together.
In Su Budong's words, these people are the co-founders of this company. They are not working for him, but also the operators of this company.
Su Budong is deliberately cultivating their business minds. It’s okay if these people use it when starting their own business, but they will be the only one in the future. After all, there are so many programmers, but not many businessmen who are successful in good bosses. At this time, they need to give them a sense of participation in company affairs. As for what they need to do in the future, is they a vegetarian experience vegetarian? And these three people are here now, in addition to working, they also have some qualifications. Once they have the qualifications, they can go out to do things under the name of Zhanlong to achieve twice the result.
Su Budong actually knew what he wanted to replace him, but it needed a natural process of alternating new and old. When the newcomer came and could get started, these people would be released and tried.
Smith explained his purpose and believed that except for the remote location, the other conditions are met for opening KFC fast food.
Su Budong asked him where he liked other than this.
Smith said he also looked at a location on the front door, but it was not as good as his standards.
Subudon smiled and said, "Mr. Smith, to be honest, I will go to find you if you don't come to the door today. Do you think this is OK? You open two stores in Beijing. We are one here and one in front door."
Smith wondered: "The company just asked me to come here to try the waters, at most it would be to open a company."
"The restaurant that we opened here is invested and built by our Zhanlong, and the rent will be appropriately discounted. You are responsible for the personnel training and raw material supply. But I have a small condition, which is that I designate a restaurant manager and she will make fast foods that meet the satisfaction of my employees and me, such as some Chinese fast food."
“Chinese fast food?”
"Selling soy milk and fried dough sticks in the morning, selling rice and so on at noon and evening." Su Budong thought for a while and said.
Smith shook his head like a rattle. "This doesn't work. Our foods are all formulated. What you said does not conform to our business philosophy."
"Mr. Smith, in China, you must understand the local customs and stick to the United States. Since it is a test, you have to see which business strategy is more correct, isn't it? I pay for the KFC restaurant here, and you just want to ensure that our company's employees are not hungry. I think this is not a conflict. By the way, I can only give you 40% of the profit, and the other 60% will be given to you."
Subudon's conditions were already very good, which made Smith a little moved. So he said, "I want to call the United States to report it. There will be news soon. You are the first person I have seen who cares so much about our American fast food."
"Yes, Mr. Smith, I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant." Subudon smiled like a little fox. He actually had greater ambitions.
………………………………
When Smith left, several people started chatting in their spare time.
"What do you mean is to let American fast restaurants make canteens for us? You can't make them like this even if you have money... And can those things in the United States taste delicious?" Wang Jiang came from a hard life, so he had never heard of letting Americans build their own canteens.
"International companies must have an international concept. I not only want Lao Mi to serve our canteen, but also want the British to be our housekeepers." Su Budong smiled. Being rich is not a problem.
"Laomi's restaurant is used as a canteen for us, and Americans work for us. It's very exciting to think about it." Zhang Yang was better able to adapt to Su Budong's new ideas than Wang Jiang. Now Su Budong has distributed dividends for hot-blooded football. At a rate of 5% for each person, everyone has become a millionaire. Lu Tian is like them, and Lu Tian's childhood is less. The guardian Lao Wang has a subsidy of 100,000 yuan.
So these people are determined to follow Su Budong. Thinking about the reluctant thing when they came, now they have made money that they have never seen in their lifetime in just a few months.
After Su Budong, the money he earned from passionate football, deducted the amount he deserved, and added everything else to the company's account.
Although Zhanlong Company now has only one technology building and some door-to-face rooms, it is a company worth over 100 million yuan.
At this time, Lao Wang came up again and said that a reporter was coming.
Su Budong asked several people to clean up their offices and go down to pick up the reporters themselves.
The person who came was Hua Sheng, a reporter from the official newspaper, who had just graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University. Following Su Budong's footsteps, he visited Zhanlong's Science and Technology Building and met the founder of Zhanlong Company. He played several FC games with them, and then quickly fell in this company full of childlike innocence and a good atmosphere.
"It's so interesting." Huasheng said. It wasn't long since he graduated and worked, and it was the first time he came into contact with such an interesting company.
The official newspaper sent him here, and he also valued that he was younger and able to adapt to the atmosphere of this new game company.
Huasheng interviewed Su Budong on the spot, interviewing his mental journey, why did he return to China alone to start a business, and how did he build this company from scratch?
Su Budong said, and he kept memorizing it. Then he interrupted it if he didn't understand and asked his own questions.
Then the two chatted for an afternoon before Su Budong finished a rough introduction.
Huasheng got up and said goodbye. He went back to get the manuscript. The editor-in-chief told him that the article would be published in the newspaper as soon as next week, so he would write it out as soon as possible to arrange the layout.
