The next day, Ye Fan and Li Ruoxin sent Yiyi to school, then came to the cake shop and announced a reform measure.
Starting today, Xiaojuan will be promoted to service manager, responsible for the training and management of Yiying waiters.
Xiao Wu is the technical manager and is responsible for training pastry chefs and all aspects of pastry supply.
Xiao Zhao was promoted to logistics manager, focusing on equipment management and batch orders.
The three young people were puzzled.
"Mom boss, there are only five people in our store. You two are still the bosses. Why do you give us the position of manager?"
Xiaojuan opened her mouth and asked loudly.
Xiao Zhao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we only have these few pieces of equipment in the store. We don't need Brother Ye now. I can do it with my eyes closed. It doesn't matter whether the manager or not."
Xiao Wu scratched his head and said with a smile: "But business has been very good recently. We really need to recruit some people, otherwise I will be too busy."
"Yes, Xiao Wu has hit the point."
Li Ruoxin was confident and laughed loudly: "Brother Ye and I are planning to recruit a large number of workers, including ten pastry apprentices and five cashier shopping guides!
Among them, three pastry chefs are responsible for the order business and are managed by Xiao Zhao. The remaining seven pastry apprentices are supervised by Xiao Wu!"
"Boss lady, you want to recruit fifteen people?!"
Xiaojuan was immediately shocked, and Xiao Zhao and Xiao Wu couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.
"Boss boss, please think twice! Our store is so big and we can't fill it with so many people."
"Fifteen people are just the initial stage. If there are not enough people, we have to continue recruiting!" Ye Fan waved his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, we are ready to enter the Binhai City Center!"
"What?!"
The three young people were shocked again.
"Brother Ye, don't be joking. Stores in the city center don't just open. The landlady has saved money for ten years, but she can only open such a small store here."
Xiaojuan and the others have followed Li Ruoxin for several years, so they naturally know her financial situation.
Li Ruoxin chuckled, "Silly children, I brought you to Binhai not only to make money, but also to give you a good future.
I decided to adjust the shareholding system of the cake shop. Each of the three of you will get 5% of the shares. I will get 35% of the rest, and Brother Ye will get 50%."
"What?"
The three young people were stunned. In just one night, Li Ruoxin became the big boss and the second boss.
"Okay, don't hide it, tell them everything!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
Li Ruoxin nodded, and then said: "Brother Ye invested 10 million to make our cake shop bigger. You guys have to work hard today, and we will issue a notice tomorrow to repair the shop for a week.
Brother Ye and I are responsible for purchasing a store in the city, and you three are responsible for recruiting employees!"
"..."
The three young people looked at each other with astonishment. You looked at me and I looked at you, but they still couldn't believe their ears.
"Silly children, Brother Ye has even completed the company's documents! 'Novan Fashion Catering' Chain Co., Ltd. has invested 10 million!"
When Li Ruoxin spread the legal documents in front of everyone, Xiaojuan and the others burst into cheers.
The three of them hugged Li Ruoxin and cried with joy.
Fortunately, it's almost noon now and there are not many customers in the store, otherwise I might have scared away many people!
Ye Fan did not interfere and stood aside and watched quietly.
Xiao Zhao suddenly let out a whimper and ran to hug Ye Fan again. Xiaojuan and Xiao Wu reacted and hugged Ye Fan tightly, thanking him constantly.
"Come on, my arm is still injured, don't make it worse!"
Ye Fan was in great pain, but the three little devils did not let go of his consciousness at all.
In the end, it was Li Ruoxin who shouted, and they calmed down their excitement and let go of Ye Fan.
"You three, sign the share contract first, and don't bother me again." Ye Fan smiled bitterly, sat on the chair, and waved his hands feebly.
Xiaojuan and the others quickly signed the contract and handed it over to Li Ruoxin with tears in their eyes.
"Okay, three managers, let's get to work quickly." Li Ruoxin saw the three brats getting carried away and couldn't help but roll her eyes at them.
"Yes, boss lady!"
They responded quickly, and then bowed to Ye Fan, "Thank you, boss, let's go to work!"
"Okay, okay, let's go." Ye Fan smiled and nodded.
Boss, boss lady...
Li Ruoxin's face turned red and she yelled at Ye Fan who was smiling: "Brother Ye, didn't you say you would handle the recruitment information? Come and show it to me!"
"Oh, I haven't even posted the recruitment notice yet!" Ye Fan was stunned.
Yesterday I only remembered showing off and forgot about it.
He quickly ran to the printing shop, designed the recruitment notice, and printed a thousand copies.
After lunch, Xiao Wu and Xiao Zhao took advantage of their free time to distribute leaflets on the street under the leadership of Ye Fan and Li Ruoxin.
Many pedestrians are interested in this job and ask for details.
Ye Fan and Li Ruoxin have already discussed it. If the place of work and residence are far away, the company can subsidize some car subsidies according to the situation. If there is a place to live nearby, it can subsidize some housing expenses.
As for those who have no place to live, Ye Fan and Li Ruoxin can also rent some shared apartments nearby, but they will only pay half of the room fee, and the rest needs to be borne by the employees themselves.
However, Li Ruoxin's initial salary was quite high. The probation period alone was 5,000 yuan, and the official salary was more than 8,000 yuan.
Excluding rotating holidays, the daily salary of regular employees is about 300 yuan, which is dozens of yuan higher than the market salary of the same industry.
As a result, in just two hours, a thousand flyers were all illuminated, and the number of applications that Xiao Zhao and Xiao Wu registered on the spot exceeded 300. The writing made their scalps numb and their eyes dizzy.
When Ye Fan and the others returned to the store, they were as tired as dead dogs. They felt that they had used up more energy than working all day long.
In the afternoon, the cake shop put up a sign saying it was closed for rectification for a week.
Tomorrow Xiaojuan and the others will interview candidates in the store. Li Ruoxin gave them the recruitment details, and they only need to follow the details to recruit qualified clerks.
Ye Fan saw them having a meeting in the store, so he took the time to take Yiyi home.
In the evening, Li Ruoxin dragged her tired body back. After a simple dinner, she discussed renting a store with Ye Fan.
Ye Fan set his sights on Lujiaozhou in Xinpu District, which is a bustling new district on the coast. It connects Jiangpu District and Qiukou District, and Xilian old city center, all across the river, and the transportation is very convenient.
Moreover, the store prices here are not too scary. Compared with the tens of millions in the old center, it is simply paradise!
On this point, Ye Fan and Li Ruoxin coincide with each other.
The two decided on the location and checked the surrounding rental information online.
There are many residential communities near Lujiaozhou, which may be related to the development of Xinpu New Area. The rent price is not too outrageous and is within the affordable range.
Ye Fan and Li Ruoxin don't have much time, so they must hurry up and implement the plan to open the new store.
That night, after selecting a few main targets, they rested early and headed straight to the city early the next morning.
Opposite Lujiaozhou Shengshi Plaza, near the exit of Line 2, there is a two-story KFC for sale, with a single-floor area of nearly 150 square meters and a price of 10 million.
It is said that this store currently earns more than 300,000 yuan a month, but the boss is old and plans to move abroad to live with his children, so he decided to sell the store.
However, the boss does not accept loans and requires full cash.
To be honest, the asking price of this store is not high. If it were placed in Shengshi Plaza across the street, it would cost at least five million more.
Ye Fan was very interested in this store for some special reasons.
After careful consideration, Li Ruoxin decided to negotiate with Ye Fan about this store.
If the price cannot be kept down, you can only settle for the next best thing and look for other storefronts nearby.
Since Li Ruoxin plans to build an integrated dessert shop, mainly selling traditional and innovative pastries, drinks, and Western fast food, the kitchen space must be very considerable.
This KFC is large enough, with two floors, and can meet all Li Ruoxin's hardware requirements.
The first floor downstairs faces the street and has a huge consumer base, so it is most suitable as a storefront.
The upstairs requires spending money to renovate and separate private rooms, suitable for couples to date.
Another 20 square meters will be freed up to be used as offices and reception rooms. This way, Li Ruoxin and Ye Fan will not have to rent another house elsewhere.
Ye Fan was looking forward to it and quickly came to the general manager's office of this store.
Li Ruoxin followed him curiously and asked him the reason, but he didn't say anything.
At this time, in the office, an old man with white hair was sitting on a wooden chair. There was a tea tray on the coffee table in front of him, and he was pouring himself a drink.
The manager on duty said respectfully: "Mr. Pan, these two are Mr. Ye and Miss Li. They want to talk to you about the resale of the store."
"Yes, I understand." The white-haired old man nodded, stood up and said with a smile: "You two, please sit down and drink some tea to moisten your throat."
"Uncle Pan, I heard that you are seventy-five this year. You look very tough, almost as old as sixty!" Li Ruoxin sat in a dignified posture with a polite smile on her face.
The white-haired old man laughed and poured her a cup of tea, "Well, calling me uncle sounds better than calling me Mr. Pan! The little girl has a sweet mouth."
He glanced at Ye Fan and grinned, "Young man, are you and this little girl a couple?"
"Yeah." Ye Fan responded.
"Yes, he is a talented man and a good-looking woman, he is young and promising." The white-haired old man grinned slightly, "Tell me, how much cash can you give at most?"
"Old sir, it's easy." Ye Fan stretched out five fingers, "That's all."
"Hey, young man, you are so cruel in cutting me off!" The white-haired old man was not angry and said to himself: "Isn't it a bit fanciful to want to buy my store for five million?"
"The boy is offering five million, and I'll ask you to raise it back slowly. Just like the old gentleman is offering ten million, he must be prepared to lower the price." Ye Fan didn't hesitate.
"Huh?" The white-haired old man was a little surprised, his eyes became sharp, and he looked Ye Fan up and down.
"Young man, that's interesting. In this case, let me tell you directly. My bottom line here is nine million in cash, and it won't be a penny less!"
"Nine million... is fair!" Ye Fan looked directly into the white-haired old man's eyes and laughed: "Old sir, I don't hide it, I only have nine million in cash.
But after I buy your store, I will have to spend a lot of cash to renovate it, buy equipment, and hire employees, so I will have to leave at least two million in working capital."
Ye Fan's outspokenness and frankness appealed to the white-haired old man.
He was very surprised, and a strange idea came into his mind.
Is it possible that this guy went out of his way to investigate me in order to buy my store at a low price?
