Chapter 237 The initial effect of the franchise plan (4600 monthly tickets in October
Over the next week or so, Sun Quan's life became relatively calm.
There are no old classmates who need to be received by him, and there are no franchise store contracts that need to be signed by him. All his time and energy can be invested in "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon".
The popularity of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" so far this month has not disappointed him. From the fifth place on the monthly ticket list at the beginning of the month, it has still been the fifth place on the list for a few days now.
Although the ranking did not rise, it gradually widened the distance from sixth place and narrowed the gap with fourth place "Magic Chef".
In addition to its popularity on the monthly ticket list, the number of chapter subscriptions for "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" is still rising steadily. The exposure of the top five in the monthly ticket list will definitely have an effect on increasing subscriptions to this book.
In just a few days, its average chapter subscriptions have increased from 8,200 at the beginning of the month to more than 8,800.
The highest number of subscribers for a single chapter has also increased from more than 15,000 at the beginning of the month to more than 17,000.
These data encouraged Sun Quan to be more enthusiastic about coding. After completing five or six chapters a day, he felt less tired than before.
On days when there were no distractions, he only slept, ate, and slept. The only difference between him and a pig was that he was constantly coding. He actually enjoyed it and felt very fulfilled and happy.
In his opinion, his level of happiness is second only to dating Yuan Shuiqing.
but……
His fulfilling and happy days were soon broken.
But what broke his peaceful life this time was the franchise contracts.
First, there was a senior who was in the third year of the culinary major at his alma mater. I don’t know where she heard about Sun Quan’s braised chicken, or where she heard that his braised chicken restaurant was franchising.
In short, she contacted Kuang Longfei, and then Kuang Longfei negotiated a franchise contract with her and brought her to Sun Quan to formally sign the franchise contract.
When they met, Sun Quancai learned from her how she knew about his braised chicken and the franchise store plan.
"After I graduated, I didn't go anywhere else. I just worked in City M, making cold dishes in a three-star hotel. As you know! The technical content of cold dishes is not high, and the work is relaxing and comfortable, especially in summer.
The chefs who cooked the red dishes and white dishes were as hot as fish out of water, but we who cooked the cold dishes had air conditioners blowing on them, which was really cool, but...
Hehe, you must have heard that the salary for making cold dishes is much lower, and there is no room for improvement. If you want to change jobs, it is not easy to find a job, because I work here and occasionally go to your restaurant to eat.
After a few times, I thought it tasted very good, and most importantly, it was cheap. Later, I heard that this store was a chain store and was opened by our junior fellow from the culinary department of M University. Ha, to be honest, I admired you very much at that time.
Recently, when I went to your branch for consumption again, I happened to see the investment and franchising advertisement you posted outside the door. After thinking about it for a few days, I decided to join you! Then I found Xiao Kuang..."
Well! In her mouth, Kuang Longfei, who used to be called Lao Kuang, became Xiao Kuang.
After chatting among the juniors and seniors for more than an hour, Sun Quan signed a franchise contract with her, and Kuang Longfei accompanied her to the bank to transfer the franchise fee successfully.
The small matter of going to the bank to transfer money reminded Sun Quan, and that afternoon, he called someone to install a POS machine in his store.
Originally, a small shop like the one he opened for small consumption would not be able to use POS machines. Imagine - in 2007, a few people went to roadside shops to eat for more than ten or twenty yuan.
When are you required to pay by card?
But now that there is a franchise store plan, Sun Quan feels that the sexy POS machine should be launched online.
After all, not everyone who comes to sign a franchise contract will bring 50,000 yuan in cash.
…
Sun Quan originally thought that after this senior, he would have to wait many days before welcoming the next franchisee.
but……
On the third day after this senior student signed the contract and left, when he logged into QQ with a cheap hand, he found that someone in the college classmate group was liking him.
When he clicked into the group, he saw that he was summoned by a male classmate whose appearance he could not remember.
The summoning message is very concise, as follows:
Yang Yufei: "@Sunquan, King Wu! Are you there? I'm out to pick up the guests! I have something to ask you."
Because it is a group of classmates, most of the classmates in the group use their real names.
Because everyone has graduated not long ago, the classmates in the group are not like those in the years before Sun Quan was reborn. Occasionally, a classmate will talk in the group. One day has passed, two days have passed, and a week has passed.
Another classmate came out to answer the call.
Their classmates at that time were almost dead.
But today, when Yang Yufei summoned Sun Quan in the group, several other classmates appeared first.
Classmate A: "Huh? Yang Yufei, why are you calling Zhongmou? You are not in the same city now, right?"
Classmate B: "Damn it Yang Yufei, when will you pay for the meal you owe me? Are you planning to skip it?"
Classmate C: "I heard that Zhongmou is now prosperous? Is it true?"
Classmate D: "Lao Kuang, Luo Na and Dabao all work for him, what do you think?"
…
Sun Quan was still mean, and showed up to reply to Yang Yufei: "@杨宇飞, if something happens, you will start to fight, but if there is nothing, you will retreat!"
These words were a bit weird, but combined with the smiling expression behind them, they didn't seem so weird.
Let’s chat with Shang Shang, he is always used to being funny.
Classmate B: "Huh? Zhongmou Aite really came out? Zhongmou! What do you think of me? Can I also go to work in your store?"
Classmate D: "Of course you can't! King Wu needs talents like me! Please step aside!"
Classmate e: "Zhongmou! Do you still need a younger brother? What do you think of me?"
…
These replies are mostly followed by various smiling emoticons, which are obviously mostly jokes.
To them, Sun Quan was their old classmate. They hadn’t seen each other for more than a year, but they suddenly saw Sun Quan appear in the group. They were so friendly!
But for Sun Quan, he hadn't seen them for more than ten years, and he couldn't quite remember what they looked like.
But he can act, so I saw him pretending to be familiar with these people in the group, making jokes, and chatting very much like that.
Until Yang Yufei suddenly sent a long message: "Wu Wang! I heard that the braised chicken you are making now is recruiting franchisees, right? Lu Wenyi and Huang Youliang have both joined?
That's it, I've already inquired about your franchise conditions, and here's me! I don't want to go to work recently, and I want to join your store. Look... For the sake of my old classmates, can you reduce the franchise fee for me?
Ah? Hehe."
"This mallet..."
Sun Quan muttered, his expression helpless.
When it comes to joining the franchise, it’s okay to just say it in the group. He even asked for the franchise fee to be reduced or waived, but he openly said it in the group. How could he agree?
Not to mention that he is unwilling to agree in his heart, even if he is willing in his heart, so many students in the group are watching! Maybe Huang Youliang is also peeking at the screen now. If he agrees here, what will Huang Youliang think later? What if other students want to join in the future?
, are they coming one by one to ask him to reduce or reduce the franchise fee?
Various thoughts flashed through Sun Quan's mind.
He didn't feel embarrassed at all, and typed a reply to Yang Yufei: "Okay! We just decided to raise the franchise fee to 60,000, but since you have spoken, we are all good brothers, and I won't say anything else.
You and Huang Youliang have the same price - 50,000! You have nothing to say, don't you? Don't bargain! It's a small business and we can't afford to hurt it! Hehe."
After typing, when he hit the Enter key to reply, Sun Quan picked up the cell phone next to the computer and dialed Kuang Longfei.
"Monitor! Let's raise the external franchise fee by 10,000 yuan! 60,000 yuan each, but this price is flexible. When you negotiate with someone, depending on the other person's intentions and financial resources, you can lower it a little if necessary, but the minimum cannot be lower.
At 50,000!”
After hearing this, Kuang Longfei said, "Okay! I get it, well, that's good too! If it gives those who want to join the franchise some bargaining space, it might be easier for us to negotiate the terms!"
Sun Quan: "Well, that's what it means!"
…
Yang Yufei among his classmates did not know that his request for a partial reduction in the franchise fee actually resulted in the overall franchise fee being raised by RMB 10,000.
But he must have felt depressed when he saw Sun Quan's reply to him in the group.
Because he had already inquired about the franchise fee for Sun Quan’s Braised Chicken.
He originally wanted Sun Quan to reduce part of the 50,000 franchise fee, for example by 10,000?
Unexpectedly, Sun Quan actually told him that the franchise fee had been increased to 60,000. Considering their friendship as classmates, he lowered it by 10,000, but it was still 50,000!
Not only that, Sun Quan also said it very beautifully, which seemed to give him enough face.
At the end, he even used words to block his room for further counter-offering in advance.
What else could he say?
After thinking about it for a while, he responded with a thumbs-up emoji in the group, and then sent another sentence: "King Wu is really a brother! I accept your favor, brother! Thank you, thank you! Thank you very much!"
Not only him, several classmates in the group also praised Sun Quan.
Classmate A: "Zhong Mou! It's really different when you become rich. As soon as you opened your mouth, you gave a classmate a deduction of 10,000. I admire you!"
Classmate C: "Well done, King Wu! When I don't want to go to work anymore, I will join your store too!"
Classmate e: "There are not many rich people with humane feelings like Zhongmou these days, Yang Yufei! You will have to thank Zhongmou very much later!"
…
Yang Yufei: "Absolutely! I just know that King Wu is easy to talk to, so I want to join his store! Otherwise, there are so many stores outside that can be franchised, how can I think about his store? Hehe, right?"
…
Seeing these classmates in the group praising him so much, Sun Quan really blushed a little. He couldn't help it! His face was still not thick enough.
…
A few days later, Yang Yufei came to City M to find him to sign a franchise contract.
It also delayed Sun Quan's time for half a day.
And these... are just the beginning.
In the next period of time, people from this city, neighboring cities, and even one from Jiangsu Province, one after another, made phone calls, or visited in person, conducted on-site inspections, and interviewed in detail about joining 99 Braised Chicken.
The only difference is that these people are no longer Sun Quan's classmates or acquaintances.
The franchise advertisements made by Kuang Longfei and others seem to be working.
