After the performance by CFC employees, countless pedestrians poured into the store.
This scene made Zhang Zhonghua call Xinzhongyuan a happy opening. After a good start, as long as CFC can improve the taste, there will only be more and more customers in the future, and there will be more and more repeat customers, and the restaurant will become more and more popular.
, eventually forming a large number of regular customers, and a large number of famous tourists.
Regardless of whether fast food restaurants will do well in the future or now, what restaurant can be compared with a hamburger restaurant, where you can eat it in half a minute at most and at a cheaper price.
Although the taste of CFC fast food is definitely different from that of a serious restaurant. After all, it is made of pre-processed semi-finished products, but who can serve food faster than CFC? No matter which country the food is, it is not as fast as fast food, even if it is a pancake.
The fruit will take a few more minutes.
In front of the counter in the restaurant, there was one cashier and two serving food. The three of them were still very busy.
Zhang Zhonghua, Zheng Juan, Xin Xiaoling and others were so happy that they couldn't help but smile. Very good, the city of London is stable.
Immediately afterwards, some employees took the pre-copied questionnaires and began to conduct market research. Customers are God. After God eats, you have to ask God whether he is satisfied or not.
Zhang Zhonghua looked at the dozens of survey reports in his hand and was very satisfied. As expected, the acceptance of hamburgers and fried chicken in European and American countries is much higher than that in Asia, and the satisfaction level is very high.
The only thing I'm not satisfied with is that there are a few seats in the cfc restaurant, and the long queue time makes the food delivery a bit slow.
However, every customer who comes to the store receives a business card with several phone numbers on it, all of which are CFC's food delivery numbers.
After leaving the central store, Zhang Zhonghua took several company executives to check out the other two stores. The results were that the situation was similar to the central store, both of them were full.
By the time Zhang Zhonghua and others returned to the central store, it was already afternoon tea time. Looking at the long queue of customers at the entrance of the store, Zhang Zhonghua nodded with satisfaction.
…
Jade Emperor Group Conference Room.
"Today's opening of several restaurants in London was an unprecedented event, and there were basically no interruptions in customers throughout the day..."
Zhang Zhonghua briefly summarized today's opening situation, and also introduced it to He Jiliang, Jia Jinghua and other senior executives who were unable to be present because of other work.
"Although we have made a good start, we cannot relax yet. Next, the group has three main tasks."
Seeing that all the group executives present were taking out pens to take notes, Zhang Zhonghua continued:
"First, continue to recruit and train a large number of new employees to provide personnel support for the company's subsequent expansion in the UK. As the HR manager, Mr. He, you will focus on this matter;
Second, run the delivery teams of each restaurant. There are too few seats in the store and the number of customers that can be accommodated is limited, resulting in too many people queuing up. It is okay for one or two days, but over time it will inevitably lead to the loss of some customers;
Third, the marketing department has begun to discuss purchasing new stores and opening new restaurants in various prosperous areas of London as soon as possible. Manager Zheng, please improve and lead people to do it."
Zhang Zhonghua thought about the crowded scenes in several shops in London today, and his whole body felt so comfortable, as if he had eaten ginseng fruit.
The profit on the day when all four stores were opened was at least thirty to forty thousand pounds. Coupled with the funds provided by stores in Asia and loans from banks, CFC's expansion in the UK will inevitably accelerate greatly.
"Understood boss, I will organize people to calculate the number of employees needed for expansion in the UK, and then recruit and train employees as quickly as possible to prepare for opening branches in other regions."
He Jiliang said solemnly.
"Okay, store manager, if you have suitable colleagues, classmates, or friends, you can introduce them to our Yuhuang Group. Our Yuhuang Group also has logistics, breeding and other companies, and there will also be an electrical manufacturing company in the future. Work hard and have a bright future."
There will definitely be a place for you in the British branch or even the European branch."
At present, the group's talent training speed cannot meet the increasing needs of the group's expansion. Zhang Zhonghua can only let the group's senior management recruit people through his own network. Now most of the group's senior management come one by one in this way.
After listening to Zhang Zhonghua's words, many people present couldn't help but laugh out loud. His boss was so interesting that he often asked the senior management of the group to recruit people to the group from friends, colleagues, and classmates.
"There is no problem with the delivery team. It is still very easy to recruit people in the UK. There are many Chinese people in Chinatown, and there are also many black people from Africa here. We can build a large delivery team at any time."
There are a lot of Africans in Europe, especially Morocco, which is only about fifteen kilometers away from Spain. It is called half of Europe. Labor is relatively cheap, and the overall quality of the personnel is much higher than that of most other parts of Africa.
"Okay, just do it like this."
Zhang Zhonghua thought for a moment and then said.
"Boss, we have found some stores in London that are for sale and meet our requirements. The area is between 200 and 300 square meters, and the price is much lower than that in London. It is basically only about half of that in London..."
Zheng Juan reported on the recent work of the marketing department.
"If they are suitable, sign them all. The staff gap this time must be filled as soon as possible. When recruiting waiters in Europe, black, yellow, and white waiters should be recruited in the ratio of 3:4:3 first, and yellow waiters should be recruited in the ratio of 3:4:3.
People in hot summer are the main ones. If the ratio is not suitable, we can optimize it later.
The same goes for Tianzhou Logistics Company, which should not recruit all Yanxia people, but local people should account for a certain proportion."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
There still needs to be some balance among the employees within the company. People of Chinese origin from various countries must account for a certain proportion, but there must also be employees from other countries and other ethnic groups.
And not only the grassroots employees, but also the senior management of the group will introduce some foreign elites in the future. Our Yuhuang Group is a large international company, and a single race will inevitably be excluded.
"No problem, I promise to complete the task."
He Jiliang and Jia Jinghua said in unison.
At nine o'clock, Xin Xiaoling walked in with the status of the three branches in London. The turnover for lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner was roughly around 50,000 pounds. Of course, this is the first day, and it is inevitable that the subsequent profits will drop for you.
of.
However, according to estimates by the Finance Department, if all four stores are open for business and the delivery business is launched, the full-day turnover is expected to be around 120,000 pounds.
After hearing the sales on the first day, Zhang Zhonghua nodded with a smile.
This is a bit unexpected. He underestimated the city of London and the spending power of British people. The biggest cost of a CFC restaurant is to buy a store. The other costs are basically very low. The cost of ingredients and logistics and transportation costs on Hong Kong Island
I'm afraid it's not as high as employees' wages.
The comprehensive cost per day is less than 20,000 pounds, and the profit per day is 100,000 pounds. The profit of four stores in a month can reach about 3 million pounds.
After the meeting, the senior executives of the Jade Emperor Group returned to their respective rooms to rest.
In the following days, CFC Catering Company began to vigorously recruit personnel in London, and the three restaurants and the central kitchen began to continuously train new people; Tianzhou Logistics Company also recruited dozens of Yanxiarenren, black boys and some white people, all
He seemed to be more energetic and honest, and he also started delivery service.
Within a few days, the fourth CFC restaurant in London was successfully opened, and the financial talents nearby were very excited.
Many people working in London also like CFC restaurant, and many delicacies with hot summer characteristics have successfully conquered countless foreigners.
Lou Xiao'e, who had just arrived, also decided to come to the UK to study, but that will only happen in the second half of the year.
The schools here in the UK are very weird, and of course this is weird in our eyes.
Taking the University of Cambridge as an example, the class time of each academic year is only half of the time, and is divided into 3 semesters, each semester is only a short 8 weeks.
The first semester runs from early October to early December, followed by more than a month of Christmas vacation;
The second semester runs from mid-January to mid-March, followed by the Easter holidays;
The third semester is from mid-April to mid-June, mainly reviewing in the library and preparing for exams, followed by a more than three-month summer vacation.
In other words, the only real classes in Cambridge are the first two semesters, which is only 4 months. The tuition fee is staggeringly expensive.
Zhang Zhonghua was dumbfounded by the weird schooling section here. The holidays at Cambridge University are even more exaggerated than those at Hong Kong University. There are such long holidays every year, which makes Zhang Zhonghua exclaim that it is weird and at the same time envious.
If Lou Xiao'e really wants to go to school here, she will only go back once a day, which is during the summer vacation from June to October.
Although I don’t care about the air ticket price, the main reason is that flying is not very safe these days, and it takes a long time to return by boat.
As soon as Zhang Zhonghua arrived at the temporary office of Yuhuang Group that day, he met Jia Jinghua who came to see him. Tianzhou Logistics Company also rented a three-story building next door. Now the group does not have so much spare money to buy another building.
"Boss, the renovation of the warehouse has been completed, what are the next arrangements?"
Zhang Zhonghua recruited a decoration team from Hong Kong Island and came to the UK on an ocean-going cruise ship. He lived in a small building next door in Tianzhou. There was no other way but the labor costs in the UK were too expensive. It was so expensive that it made Zhang Zhonghua feel distressed, so he had no choice but to hire a decoration team from Hong Kong.
Dao brought a decoration team over.
Moreover, this decoration team will follow CFC to Europe and the United States. Of course, the salary given by Zhang Zhonghua is much higher than the salary on Hong Kong Island. They also take care of food, food, and housing. Zhang Zhonghua has guaranteed them a salary in the past few years, which will definitely allow them to buy a house on Hong Kong Island.
Buy a car and marry a wife.
This specialized training team is now under Tianzhou Logistics.
Zhang Zhonghua took Jia Jinghua to the company office and said to him as he walked: "Then let's start decorating the two central stores in the other two areas in the East. The three core CBD stores in London will be decorated first, and then we will start the branches in other places.
.”
"No problem, I will arrange for them to start construction after I return."
Jia Jinghua responded.
The strength of this decoration team is limited, but they are all skilled workers. They only need to recruit some laborers from the local area. The salary of black laborers is relatively low, which Zhang Zhonghua can accept.
Moreover, after the four stores opened, many customers asked which decoration company did the decoration. Jia Jinghua wanted to give Zhang Zhonghua advice on whether he could set up a decoration company.
"Now the restaurant has begun to purchase a large number of stores in London, and it is expected that it will expand to other cities in up to half a year. By then, it may be stationed in two or three cities at the same time, and you will also need to recruit and train some manpower."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
The United Kingdom is a relatively small country, but has a developed economy, so it needs a lot of branches. According to the current progress, it is not a big problem to complete the UK's full coverage in one year. There is enough financial support to open a store that is popular.
European countries are not that big in terms of land area, such as France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, etc. In bigger places, there are dozens of countries, even three-thirds
The land area of one of the countries is not as large as that of Wanwan Province, the smallest province in Yanxia.
"We have no problem with manpower here. We have already started recruiting people from Morocco, and the employees there are pretty good."
Jia Jinghua said.
In fact, it is not difficult to recruit local Europeans. After all, there are many poor countries, but Europeans have many problems, but black people do not have any human rights in Europe, at least not yet.
"Is it okay for Manager Jia to recruit a large number of Moroccan black guys from Africa to Europe?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
"Boss, Morocco is a rather special country, different from other African countries."
Jia Jinghua smiled bitterly.
Although Morocco is located on the African continent, it is half a European country and its population is basically Caucasian.
“How is the situation in Morocco?”
Zhang Zhonghua asked curiously.
"Boss, Morocco is now mostly white. The earliest residents there were Berbers. The first Arab kingdom was established in the 8th century. In 1660, the Alawi dynasty was established and continues to this day. On August 14, 1957, the country was named Morocco.
The Kingdom, the Sultan was renamed the King, Morocco implements a dual constitutional monarchy, and the King has the highest power."
Constitutional monarchy, this king is so happy. Although the country is poor, the royal family must be rich, Zhang Zhonghua is deeply envious.
After discussing the work plan with Jia Jinghua, he asked him to go back to work, and Zhang Zhonghua also started to continue working.
Time slowly entered April, and Zhang Zhonghua's transfer to London was almost the same. The marketing department had probably selected more than a hundred locations in London suitable for opening a store, and they were just waiting for Zhang Zhonghua to make a decision.
The bustling London is really suitable for opening a shop everywhere. It is the largest city in Europe and the most populous city in Europe. It truly deserves its reputation.
"Boss, two new CFC stores have opened at the same time almost three or four days apart. At the same time, our employee training is on the right track and can keep up with the speed of store openings. The employees currently being trained
There are more than 500 people. In the future, we can recruit employees in advance in cities where we need to open stores, and then train them in advance."
He Jiliang handed over a work schedule for the opening time. The number of stores purchased has reached 30, and there are still ten more waiting for renovation. The progress is very smooth.
In terms of employee recruitment, we also resolutely follow Zhang Zhonghua's instructions. They are composed of British hot summerers, local white people and a small number of black people with good facial features. Employees will be used wherever the store opens.
"Boss, our finance department has reached a cooperative relationship with Standard Chartered Bank. The stores and office buildings currently in hand have mortgage loans of 5 million pounds from Standard Chartered Bank. These loans, plus the profits from various places, are enough for our early expansion plan to go smoothly.
"
Xin Xiaoling briefly introduced the cooperation with Standard Chartered Bank..
"These 5 million pounds are all reserved for Europe to develop the market. They will continue to purchase stores, renovate them, open them and then mortgage them. The most difficult time in the early stage has passed. Japan will reduce the transfer of funds to Europe. The British side will mainly use loans as a means of financing.
Mainly, plus the restaurant's profits are expanding outward.
I have been in Europe for more than a month since I arrived. The Electrical Appliance Research Institute has produced a lot of results. I need to go and take a look. You will stay in the UK for the time being and wait for this place to get on the right track before returning to Hong Kong Island."
