After lunch, Ye Fan and Li Ruoxin continued running around and inspected several stores in the central mall.
Li Ruoxin's requirements for this branch are not high, just one hundred and eighty square meters.
In the end, she negotiated for a street-facing store of more than 130 square meters for 6 million. The average price was less than 50,000, which was not too scary.
Li Ruoxin was very straightforward in her work. She paid the deposit at that time, and then contacted KFC in Shengda Plaza to complete the contract completely with the notarization of a lawyer.
This work lasted the whole afternoon, and the original store owner of the Central Mall invited Ye Fan and the others to dinner.
Li Ruoxin was anxious to go back to see the results of the interview and declined the warm invitation.
The two of them hurried back to the cake shop. Before they even touched the ground, Ye Fan received a call from Wu Xue.
At this time, Yiyi had been taken back to the store by Xiaojuan. Ye Fan greeted them and ran outside to answer the phone.
"Ye Fan."
Wu Xue's voice was very calm, without any waves. It seemed that becoming a shareholder director of Li Group did not bring much change to her mentality.
"I'm here, tell me if you have anything to say." Ye Fan smiled.
Wu Xue hesitated and said in a low voice: "Ye Fan, we have a party tonight, can you come over as a favor?"
"reunion?"
Ye Fan checked the time, today is not the weekend, everyone is still at work, what is there to get together with?
However, he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "I see, today is your birthday. Happy birthday, Wu Xue!"
"Thank you." Wu Xue's voice finally became cheerful, and then she asked weakly: "Are you coming?"
"I'm afraid I don't have time. I'm going to open two branches in Lu Jiaozhou in a few days. I'm very busy!"
Ye Fan did not intend to hide Wu Xue's business trends. If she would tell other students, it would also reduce their guilt and prevent them from trying to compensate themselves.
Wu Xue didn't expect Mark to reject her so decisively. Her tone was slightly condensed and hesitantly said: "But, I really want you to come."
Ye Fan still has feelings for Wu Xue, but she has changed too much and has been corrupted by Binhai's business circle.
Furthermore, the Li family's secret war is still going on. Lin Wanqing brought Wu Xue to the board of directors, and the two of them have probably reached a strategic agreement.
He knew very well that it was best for him to keep a certain distance from this kind of woman, otherwise the affairs of the Li family would be involved, causing unnecessary trouble and becoming a potential threat to his family.
Although Ye Fan's life is dull now, he is very happy. He has a woman and children. When the time comes and he starts a family, he will have no desires or desires.
"Wu Xue, it's really not necessary. You just have to have fun." Ye Fan declined Wu Xue politely, "Yiyi has to go to school tomorrow, and I have to accompany her in the evening."
"Otherwise, you can bring Yiyi with you. We will just have a simple meal and it won't take too long." Wu Xue said quickly.
"Forget it, I've already eaten."
"Ye Fan, why are you avoiding me?" Wu Xue seemed to be crying, and her voice was a little more choked up, "I know about you, Mr. Lin has told me. Please, can you come and talk to me?"
"Huh?" Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, "What did Lin Wanqing say to you?"
"My shares...were earned with your life, Ye Fan, why did you do this?" Wu Xue shed tears and cried.
"Okay, don't cry, I promise you." Ye Fan smiled bitterly, "Where is the specific location."
"Yuan Yin was near your house in the afternoon and he has already gone to pick you up." Wu Xue was overjoyed and wiped away her tears.
"He seems to be in some trouble. I asked him about it, but he refused to say anything. If possible, try to trick him!
He helped me a lot before, and now that I have some ability, I think I can give him some help."
"Okay, I understand." Ye Fan nodded and hung up the phone.
He went back to the cake shop and discussed with Li Ruoxin and the other four for a while. By the way, he asked Li Ruoxin to take care of Yiyi at night. He had to go out.
"Brother Ye, are you going to see someone?" Li Ruoxin was very alert now, with a hint of jealousy.
"There, a classmate celebrated his birthday and asked me to come and have some fun. By the way, the person who came to pick me up later was the classmate who suggested that I make nutritious pastries.
He has opened more than a dozen gyms and has over 10,000 members. There is a huge demand for this product. Haven’t you already researched a few? Make some first and let him try it!"
Ye Fan felt guilty and quickly changed the topic.
Li Ruoxin was immediately overjoyed, "Tens of thousands of members? Wow, that's amazing. Xiaojuan, you and Xiao Zhao have sorted out the files. Let's work hard tonight and go to my house to lay the floor. Let's work another shift. Xiao Wu, you and I
Come in, let’s make some samples of nutritious snacks.”
"okay!"
A group of people had a clear division of labor and each got busy.
Ye Fan was not idle either, helping Xiaojuan and Xiao Zhao organize their recruitment files.
Recruitment in cake shops is very lively today. There are dozens of people who have worked in the catering industry before, and more than 30 of them have worked in dessert shops.
Ye Fan estimated that the two stores in the urban area are mainly responsible for supplying the consumer groups of the two squares, and the other is special consumers like Yuan Yin.
The old store in Baida Shopping Center will continue to be retained. The location for batch products will have to rent a large house and renovate it. It is best to turn it into a separate batch pastry processing workshop.
It is estimated that there must be at least ten employees nearby, including four in the store and five in the processing workshop, which are temporarily managed by Xiao Zhao.
KFC in Shanda Plaza, as the main store of Novan Fashion Catering, has at least eight kitchen chefs, with Xiao Wu as the manager in charge.
The facade of the main store is controlled by Brother Qi and KFC's old team. Eight experienced catering workers are enough to cope with it!
At the Central Mall branch, Ye Fan and Li Ruoxin planned to let Xiaojuan take charge of her own business.
Since the core desserts of the branch are supplied by the main store, and the branch is only responsible for making common snacks in the market, there must be a master chef in the kitchen. As for the number of apprentices, it is decided based on the actual situation.
In addition, the cashier and reception of the branch are managed by Xiaojuan. She is not only the service department manager, but also serves as the branch manager.
Among the officials in the feudal territory, great power is in their hands.
A casual calculation shows that without thirty-five or six employees, it is simply not enough to support the operation of three stores.
It's okay for Xiao Zhao, because he is very familiar with the old shop.
Mechanical management is his old profession, and he usually helps Xiao Wu and Xiao Juan. He has dabbled in pastries and statistics, so he will definitely have no problem taking charge of the operation of the old store.
After hearing Ye Fan's arrangement, Xiaojuan was a little confused and even started to panic.
"Brother Ye, you...you can't throw someone out alone. I know nothing but reception, and I'm young. How can those people listen to me?"
Xiaojuan was so anxious that she almost cried.
Ye Fan laughed loudly, "Silly girl, who said you can't do it anymore? Don't you usually stick in your waist and scold Xiao Wu and Xiao Zhao until they get mad? Just show that kind of momentum and make sure the people in the store obey you.
Be obedient."
"No, it's different. Xiao Wu and Xiao Zhao have known each other for many years, and we live together again. They are just like my brothers.
They also know that I'm just showing off my temper when I curse, and they won't care about me, but I don't dare to do it in front of outsiders!"
Xiao Zhao took over the conversation with a bad smile, "Yes, Xiaojuan is a bully at home, and she becomes a coward when she goes out."
"You are a coward! If you smile again, I will tear your mouth apart!"
When Xiaojuan saw Xiao Zhao laughing at her, she yelled angrily, which frightened Xiao Zhao into hurriedly lowering his head to sort out the files.
"Yes, yes, that's the momentum!" Ye Fan was amazed.
"Xiaojuan, the basic management rule of all enterprise departments is that one leader will be a bad person and the other will be a good person.
You are the kind of girl who has a hard time controlling her emotions, so just use all your aggressive energy, and I guarantee that no one will dare to bully you."
After hearing this, Xiaojuan felt a little moved and asked: "Brother Ye, who will be the star?"
"Of course it's the boss lady and I! We have to establish an amiable image for everyone, eat, live and work together, so that we can gain support from the grassroots!"
"Nima, Brother Shiye, I hate you for being a good person, right?" Xiaojuan said angrily.
"Hey, that's right. If you dislike someone internally, you must protect others externally. Even if the people in your store make mistakes, you must protect them resolutely and not let them be bullied.
As for whether you want to be beaten or scolded in the future, it’s up to you!”
Ye Fan's words were not a joke.
"Then...what should I do?"
"Don't worry, Xiao Li and I have discussed it a long time ago. The old employees at the main store and our old store here have said that the new employees in the city are a problem.
Everyone is here for the first time and is agitated. Xiao Li and I will sacrifice a little to help you establish your image. After that, the stage will be left to you!"
Ye Fan smiled lightly.
Xiao Zhao touched his head, "Brother Ye, what about me?"
"You take good care of the machine, and if the employees don't accept the problem, they will resign. This is your say, as long as the quality and quantity of the batch of pastries are ensured!"
Ye Fan pointed his finger at Xiaojuan, "They are the frontmen and have many people under them. They must work together to improve the management level."
"Yes! Oh, Xiaojuan and the others are working so hard, but I feel much more relaxed in comparison." Xiao Zhao grinned.
"Xiao Zhao, I hope you won't give up your talent." Ye Fan looked serious.
"You are a genius. If you want to continue working in our store, then I hope you can continue to improve the batch equipment.
When necessary, the boss lady and I can support you to go to college for further studies. How far you can learn depends on your own ability!"
"Really...really?" Xiao Zhao trembled.
"Of course. If Xiaojuan and Xiao Wu are willing to stay in our company, then sooner or later they will have to study business administration!
It’s just that you are more professional and have far more opportunities in the future than we do. Whether you want to stay or go in the future is up to you. The boss lady and I will not forcefully interfere with you.”
Ye Fan patted Xiao Zhao on the shoulder.
Xiao Zhao took advantage of the situation and held Ye Fan's hand, and said sonorously and forcefully: "Brother Ye, Novan is my root. Even if I get a master's degree or a doctorate, I will still be Novan's equipment manager.
It is absolutely impossible for you and Sister Li to drive me away!"
Xiaojuan nodded repeatedly, her big eyes red.
"Without the boss lady, the three of us would always be just small wage earners; without Brother Ye, we wouldn't have a bright future... I will rely on you for the rest of my life!"
