The location of the new car beauty shop was quickly determined. The specific price was negotiated by Zhao Guozhong with the relevant departments in the town. He did know a lot of people in his town. A few packs of good cigarettes and a drink were all it took.
The matter is settled.
The price is quite favorable, and according to Chen Feng's request, it was rented for ten years. The annual rent is only more than 8,000, and it is paid for five years in advance and every year thereafter, which is quite cost-effective.
It is Zhao Guozhong's skill to be able to negotiate such conditions. Of course, he must take care of things a little afterwards. This is a necessary etiquette.
After signing the contract, Chen Feng did as he said and gave him 12,000 yuan as management fee.
In this way, I spent fifty or sixty thousand in the early stage, but these were all necessary expenses.
The next step is for the brand headquarters of the beauty car shop to send a professional team for decoration and training.
The main ones are decoration and training, which can be completed in just a few days.
Another issue is the choice of store manager.
After they launched a circle of relatives and friends, they found two alternatives the next day.
One is the nephew of my aunt and son-in-law. He graduated from college three or four years ago. He is 26 years old. He has worked hard in big cities for several years and achieved nothing. He returned to his hometown in despair and is looking for something to do.
The other one is the cousin of my sister-in-law Li Guihong. He graduated from a vocational high school and is 24 years old. He had previously worked in a factory and worked in sales and other jobs.
These two candidates actually indirectly represent the two parties who contributed money, one is Zhao Xiaolan, and the other is aunt Zhao Xiaomei.
From the perspective of the Chen Feng brothers, they must choose their mother's side, or their sister-in-law's side.
It's just that as far as Chen Feng is concerned, in terms of relatives, they are almost the same, and they don't have any close relatives with Chen Feng.
Because Chen Feng is the largest shareholder and has stated that he will contribute 300,000 yuan, the final decision on the choice of store manager will of course be made by Chen Feng.
It can only be Chen Feng who chooses. Otherwise, whether it is the eldest brother Chen Rui, the mother Zhao Xiaolan, or the uncle Zhao Guozhong, no matter which side he chooses, he will offend the other side.
So, after negotiating the land lease contract the next day, Chen Feng asked these two people to come over to Qingpu Town.
Chen Feng directly arranged for them to meet at his home. After all, relatives were connected with relatives, so he specially set up a table of wine at home to treat them.
It was just the three of them, drinking and chatting without any particular restraint. Speaking of the three of them, the age difference between the three of them was not very big.
My aunt's eldest son-in-law's nephew's surname is Li. Although he is only a few years younger than Chen Feng, he is a generation behind him. He wears glasses and is relatively lean.
Li Guihong's cousin, whose surname is Wang, is a bit fat. According to him, he is now learning to cook and has been studying for almost two years, so he has a lot of food and has gained weight unknowingly.
After a few glasses of wine, the two of them gradually relaxed. First, under Chen Feng's guidance, they each talked about their situations in recent years.
Xiao Li graduated with three majors. He was arrogant at first and wanted to make a name for himself in a big city. However, after working hard for three or four years, his life became more and more stressful. In addition, he had a girlfriend who had been living with him for more than two years.
Because he saw no hope in life, he broke up with him and returned to his hometown feeling depressed.
When he was in a big city, he first worked in sales, and later in an electronics factory, but he was very tired. Finally, he became a freelancer, working as a tutor, tour guide, food delivery, driving, etc. Although he also worked as a freelancer.
It's tiring, but a little freer. At the best time, I can earn nearly 10,000 yuan a month, but on average it's only 6,000 to 7,000 yuan a month.
And his girlfriend only earns a dead salary of more than 5,000 yuan a month.
Even so, living in a big city is still very stressful. A one-bedroom house for two people living together costs more than 3,000 yuan a month. Plus property fees, water, electricity, gas, broadband and other miscellaneous expenses, the cost is close to 4,000 yuan.
.
The combined salary of the two of them is tens of thousands, which doesn't seem like a lot, but life in this big city is still a bit unsatisfactory. He can never afford a house, and his girlfriend doesn't want to go back to his hometown to live with him, so she ends up seeking another job.
Already.
Therefore, if Xiao Li is not lying, his personal ability is actually quite good. After all, he has been working hard in big cities for so many years and has always been hard-working and hard-working.
If his girlfriend hadn't broken up with him, he might not have come back to his hometown.
Xiao Wang graduated from a vocational high school and started working in a factory at the age of nineteen. Later he also worked in sales and insurance. Finally, his family suggested that he learn to be a chef and studied with a master. He has been studying for almost two years now.
Chen Feng asked him, since he has been studying for two years, wouldn't it be a pity to give up like this?
The fat little Wang said helplessly: "It's too difficult to learn to cook, and I don't have a very good talent in this area. Master is very strict with me. The most important thing is to give me food now every month."
It costs a few hundred yuan, and I haven’t learned much usefulness after studying for two years. If I want to become a teacher, it’s far away.”
After listening to their stories, Chen Feng felt a little confused. After that, Chen Feng didn't ask them any more questions. The meal lasted for more than an hour, and then they all left to wait for the news.
In the evening, the family sat together for dinner, and Chen Rui asked them which one Chen Feng would choose.
Chen Feng didn't hide anything and said directly: "The one over from my aunt is more reliable. Besides, she also graduated from a university and has better learning ability."
When Li Guihong heard this, she was a little unhappy and said: "Although my cousin only graduated from a vocational high school, he has a strong learning ability since he was a child. He can learn everything quickly. Besides, the car wash shop does not have many technical requirements. What is needed is a university degree."
?" Chen Feng smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I don't deal with the situation and the person. I think you also hope that our second store can run better and make more money, right? If you leave aside that Xiao Wang is your cousin,
Two people with the same ability, one graduated from a vocational high school and the other graduated from a university, which one would you choose to work for?"
Li Guihong was immediately speechless. Although she definitely favored her cousin in her heart, she could not open her eyes and tell lies.
Chen Rui said something fair: "Although your cousin is also good, since the one from the aunt is more suitable, then choose the one from the aunt. Besides, after all, the aunt also paid for it, so we can't all
They are from our brothers' side."
Chen Feng said: "My eldest cousin-in-law's nephew has worked hard in the big city for several years and has done many jobs. Apart from other things, his horizons are definitely good. In addition, it is definitely better to have gone to college than not to have gone to school. Of course, this is still good.
Not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he is more hard-working. Sister-in-law, I am not talking about your cousin. Since he has decided to learn cooking and has been studying with the master for two years, if he gives up, the two previous
Won’t years of hard work be in vain? I think you should advise him that since he has learned to cook, he should persevere to the end.”
Chen Rui also said: "Your sister-in-law's cousin is indeed not a hard-working person. He first worked in a factory and then became dissatisfied that he was too tired so he went to work in sales. As a result, he didn't make any achievements in sales, so his family asked Renqing to follow him.
People learn to cook." After her husband exposed her cousin's younger brother, Li Guihong felt a little embarrassed and could only lower her head to eat.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaolan said: "Then choose your eldest cousin-in-law and nephew."
The choice of store manager was thus decided.
After eating, Chen Feng called Xiao Li. First, he had to receive training from the head office, and then he would have a two-month trial period of 5,000 yuan per month, and after he became a regular employee, he would have 7,000 yuan per month, plus additional salary.
Bonus commission. The details can be discussed in detail after becoming a regular employee. Right now it is just a trial period contract.
Of course, Xiao Li is quite satisfied with this treatment. Five thousand a month is considered a high salary in their 18th-tier county, let alone in the countryside.
So, he happily accepted the job and will report here tomorrow.
After the store manager was found, Chen Feng relaxed.
After eating, he casually found an excuse to go out, and then came to Lin Yujiao's rental house.
She came back two days ago and plans to open the business tomorrow, the eighth day of the lunar month.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for several days. They were both married and divorced adults. Of course, it was better to say goodbye now than to be newlyweds. When they met, they didn't show off, they just got down to business.
The two of them worked hard until early in the morning before finally taking a break. It was a great time.
Only then did Chen Feng have time to talk to her.
"What have you been doing these days? Have you visited any relatives?"
Lin Yujiao panted slightly and said, "I went to two houses, but then I was too lazy to go and went back here directly."
Chen Feng didn't ask her why she didn't stay at home for a few more days. Thinking of her mother's appearance, he knew the reason.
The truth is almost the same. During the Chinese New Year, her mother has been taking her to show off in front of her relatives, saying that she has found a new good son-in-law who is very rich and has given them many good things. She has also been urging her to marry Chen Feng as soon as possible.
Get married, even if you don't get married, you should have children as soon as possible, so that it will be easier to bind Chen Feng.
Lin Yujiao knew about her family affairs, Chen Feng was not her boyfriend, and it was impossible for her to give birth to Chen Feng's child under such circumstances.
Of course, if there was an unexpected pregnancy, she would not reject it. She could only say that it was God's will, and Chen Feng would definitely not treat her badly.
"Then have you visited Longhua Street in the past two days?"
Chen Feng is still more concerned about her future business plans, not to mention that he has already promised her.
"On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I went to the city and looked around. Everyone there was closing down, and I didn't see any stores being transferred. I don't think it's urgent. The stores there are indeed very popular and not easy to find.
My store here will continue to open."
Lin Yujiao's mentality was relatively stable and she did not rush Chen Feng because Chen Feng had agreed to let him open a store in the city.
"That's alright. I'll go to the city to inquire about it some other day, or I'll entrust an agent. In addition, I'll ask Wu Mengting to help me keep an eye on it."
Wu Mengting was very active in helping her find a store last time, but now that her family is having trouble, it will definitely not be easy.
"Thank you. But I'm really not in a hurry."
"I will return to Xiuzhou after the Lantern Festival at the latest, and I hope to do my best to get this thing done before then."
"……oh."
In the blink of an eye, the next day, the team from the brand head office arrived. Chen Feng received them personally, and then took them straight to Yuelou Town. Chen Feng called Xiao Li and his uncle to join him. In the afternoon, both parties signed the franchise according to the procedures.
protocol.
The other party is indeed professional, and a decoration team will come over immediately and start the construction of the franchise store. In addition, there will also be someone dedicated to Xiao Li, the prospective store manager, to start one-on-one training.
As soon as the construction of their car beauty shop started, because it was located on the only way to the center of Yuelou Town, the news spread quickly.
The two car washes in the town originally learned the news immediately.
None of them expected that there were already two of their car wash shops in Yuelou Town, and someone would force their way in.
First of all, Ai Ba, a local snake, got relatively accurate information and found out that it was a joint venture between Zhao Guozhong and his two nephews.
If it were more than ten years ago, Aiba would have politely called him brother when he met Zhao Guozhong, but today is different. He is already rich, but Zhao Guozhong is a poor man. He has long since ignored him in his heart.
In my eyes.
It's just that everyone knows each other after all, and Zhao Guozhong is also a local gangster with many cliques.
Therefore, Ai Ba planned to be polite first and then fight, and asked someone to make an appointment with Zhao Guozhong to treat him to dinner at a restaurant in the town.
Zhao Guozhong came as promised, but he didn't come alone. More than a dozen old brothers he had sworn sworn friends with before came. Among them was his eldest brother whom he had known for several years, nicknamed Three Fingers.
Aiba used to be just a little gangster, but this three-fingered eldest brother was a local tycoon. He fought fiercely with others for the trucking business, and cut off two fingers of his left hand with two knives in front of his face, and picked them up without changing his expression.
Give it to the other party, indicating that if the other party chops off two fingers, he will quit.
As a result, the group of people who competed with him for business were of course frightened and voluntarily quit.
Three Fingers also became famous in this battle and gained a huge reputation in the local area.
Before Three Fingers became famous, when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he became sworn brothers with a group of more than a dozen local young people.
This was very popular in their area at that time. It was just that everyone joined a group to keep warm. When fighting, there were more people and strength, so that they would not be bullied by others.
But later on, when everyone grew up, the social environment also changed drastically. Of course, we gradually drifted apart, and it was rare for everyone to get together. We even forgot about the matter of sworn sworn vows.
After Three Fingers became famous, he deliberately and slowly alienated his brothers who were several levels below him. He still kept in contact with only five or six people who were about the same level.
Three Fingers had been in jail once before, but he learned to behave after he was released from prison, and slowly began to clear his name. Now he is almost completely clean, and he can be considered a relatively successful entrepreneur.
In the past, of course, it was impossible for him to come out with Zhao Guozhong to support him. But who would let someone have a powerful nephew?
In addition, Ai Ba had fooled around with him before, so Zhao Guozhong was giving him face by calling him.
Therefore, Ai Ba planned to be polite first and then drink the wine, so he could only finish it peacefully. During the banquet, Ai Ba also clearly expressed his absolute support for Brother Guozhong to open a car wash shop, and said that everyone would work together in the future to crowd out the car wash shop opened by outsiders.
's store.
Zhao Guozhong laughed and said, this is easy to talk about, and we will discuss it slowly in the future.
The whole banquet was full of enthusiasm on the surface. After finishing the meal, each person gave a piece of Chinese rice as a gift, which was very polite.
