Kuang Longfei brought over more and more people to sign franchise contracts with Sun Quan, first from his own city, then from several neighboring cities. One day, Kuang Longfei also brought over a franchisee from Suzhou Province.
Before Kuang Longfei brought these people over, he had actually negotiated all the conditions for joining. When he brought them to Sun Quan, they just chatted for a few words, then signed the contract and stamped it.
Yes, as more and more people came to sign franchise contracts, Sun Quan had already carved a seal at Kuang Longfei's suggestion, otherwise he would have to fingerprint every time he signed a contract with someone... It would look stylish.
It's not high, and secondly, it's quite dirty, because every time after taking fingerprints, even if you wipe your hands with a tissue, you still can't wipe them clean.
Anyway, he has already got a seal, and it is engraved on the seal - I am ordered by heaven, and I will live forever... Hehe, just kidding, those are the words on the imperial seal passed down by Qin Shihuang. How could Sun Quan dare to engrave such words? He
It hasn't drifted like that yet.
This seal usually only has his name engraved on it.
Fortunately, the days of constant interruptions finally came to an end - Yuan Shuiqing finally completed all the formalities for leaving her job, and she was free.
After leaving her job, she took a short break for two days and slept with Sun Quan for two nights. Sun Quan appointed her as the general manager of the company. As for Kuang Longfei, who was originally the general manager?
The landlady personally came to serve as the general manager. What else could Kuang Longfei say?
He can only be moved down one level obediently, his title will be changed to deputy general manager, and he will be at the same level as Lorna, but his salary will remain the same.
Regarding the demotion, Sun Quan imitated Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's drinking wine to release his military power.
The night before it was announced that Yuan Shuiqing was appointed as general manager, Sun Quan called Kuang Longfei and invited him out for barbecue and beer.
Kuang Longfei happily attended the appointment.
Sun Quan accompanied him to eat skewers and drink beer, and then told him about demoting him one level. When Kuang Longfei learned that he was going to give way to Yuan Shuiqing, he smiled bitterly, but had nothing to say, and raised his hand
He drank the glass in one gulp and said cheerfully: "It's okay! No problem! Don't worry! I will definitely continue to do my job well in the future. Isn't it just a false name? What's the matter?"
Then that night he drank and vomited.
It's not that he was in a bad mood and got himself drunk.
But Sun Quan was a bastard who didn't care. People said he didn't mind. He said that if Kuang Longfei didn't drink, he would be angry with him. He forcefully got Kuang Longfei drunk. On the way back, he was blown by the night wind and held him up.
The guardrail on the roadside was in disarray.
With Yuan Shuiqing taking office, Sun Quan finally no longer has to sign franchise contracts with others every now and then.
He left all the signing matters to Yuan Shuiqing.
Anyway, Yuan Shuiqing is both a shareholder and now holds the title of general manager, so he is qualified.
His mind and time can be focused on coding.
But what is strange is that he has not started another monthly ticket battle this month. Although there are not many updates every day, he no longer frequently posts single chapters asking for monthly votes.
He only occasionally added the sentence "please vote for me" at the end of a chapter or in the title, which seemed quite indifferent and aloof from the world. It seemed that he was very satisfied with his fifth place in the total list of monthly votes.
Regarding this, in his book fan group, people have asked him more than once or twice why he is not competing for the monthly vote list this month?
Even his pillowmate Yuan Shuiqing asked him this question out of curiosity one night.
And his answer was: "Don't be so violent! The world is so beautiful, but we are so irritable. This is not good! It's not good!"
At that time, Yuan Shui gave him a clear look, opened his mouth and bit his shoulder lightly, and asked: "Speak humanly!"
Then he immediately changed his tune: "Well, there must be several reasons! For example: the fifth place in the overall list is already not low, and it has been attracting new readers continuously. There is no need to fight with others to the death.
, everyone is tired, and it also makes some book fans feel bored, so why bother?
What’s more! You see, we who write novels ultimately rely on our works to speak for themselves. If I always focus on competing with others for monthly votes, the quality of my works will inevitably be affected.
Judging from it, every time I compete for the monthly vote list for another month, my popularity and reputation, as well as the royalties for that month, will definitely be higher, but what about in the long run?
Will readers who read my books in the future be disappointed with the quality of my works?
Do you know the stars and actors in the entertainment industry?"
Yuan Shuiqing hummed, "I know, what's wrong?"
Sun Quan smiled and said, "The author is like a fighting cock, always competing for monthly votes. He is like a popular star with great exposure in the entertainment industry. His popularity is indeed very high, higher than many powerful actors, but one
How many years can popular celebrities maintain their high popularity? When the audience's novelty slowly turns to disgust, and from liking to read their news to being bored after seeing their news, these celebrities can continue to maintain their popularity.
Is it popular?
impossible!
So, stars change very quickly, often in one or two years, or two or three years, but it is different for actors who are truly capable. They may never be the most dazzling, but because they are capable,
They have been making progress, and there is usually little news, so the audience has never had any bad feelings towards them. Then, as long as they occasionally have good works coming out, they will be deeply loved and praised by the audience. In comparison, the careers of actors in this type can only go so far.
It will last a long time.”
At this point, Sun Quan smiled and closed his mouth.
Yuan Shuiqing looked at him with gentle eyes and asked softly: "So, you want to keep a low profile now? Do you want to be a powerful person?"
Sun Quan gently kissed the tip of her nose and hummed, "Last month, my new book had just been put on the shelves. I needed people to see the edge and strength of this book, but this month... there is no need for that.
, anyway, the current ranking is not low. Instead of focusing on competing for the monthly ticket ranking, it is better to calm down and write the subsequent plot. It doesn’t matter how long I am. As long as my strength improves a little bit, the fans who read my books can
It can be seen that this is more meaningful than advancing one or two places on the monthly ticket list, what do you think?"
Yuan Shuiqing reached out and touched his face, placing her forehead against his, "Well, I'm very happy that you think so, because it shows that your mind is clear, and I support you!"
Sun Quan raised his lips slightly, "Do you really support it?"
Yuan Shuiqing did not notice the danger and hummed, "I really support it!"
The next second, Sun Quan's bestiality showed up. In her exclamation, a debate about whether she really supported it officially started.
…
In a blink of an eye, it’s the end of October.
"The Ring of the Immortal Dragon", which did not deliberately compete for the monthly ticket rankings, quietly moved up a place, once again pushing Sanshao's "Magic Chef" down one place, and "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" ranked fourth on the overall monthly ticket list.
s position.
As for franchise stores, the results achieved are also very gratifying.
On the evening of October 28th.
Sun Quan and Yuan Shuiqing slept in the same bed innocently, and Yuan Shuiqing reported to him this month's performance with a smile.
"As of now, counting the contracts you signed before, there are now 4 franchise stores in this city that have signed franchise store contracts with us. In several neighboring cities, the number of franchisees that have signed contracts with us has reached 13, and there are also
There is the franchisee from Jiangsu Province that you signed, so if we add them all together, there are now 18 franchisees that have joined our braised chicken! How do you like it? Are you satisfied? Is this speed okay?"
Sun Quan hummed, in a good mood, and asked casually: "What about the franchise fee? There are 18 franchises... If the average franchise fee per franchise is 50,000, it would be 58,40, 15 = 5, that's 900,000?"
Yuan Shuiqing chuckled: "It's more than that! It's already more than one million, because you later raised the franchise fee to 60,000. Although almost every franchisee raised the price a little bit, but in total, even if you charge Lu Wenyi
The amount is 30,000, and our franchise fee this month has exceeded 1 million! Haha, congratulations! Boss Sun, you are a millionaire now!"
"Really? Hehe."
Sun Quan smiled and looked at Yuan Shuiqing's smiling face and suddenly said: "Congratulations to you too!"
Yuan Shuiqing's eyes were smiling, "What do you congratulate me for?"
Sun Quan suppressed his laughter and said, "Congratulations on your sharp eyes and good luck. You have found a millionaire! What? Don't you think this is worthy of congratulations?"
"Pfft..."
Yuan Shuiqing was amused by him, and her shoulders shook with laughter.
After a while, the two changed the topic again.
Sun Quan: "Kuang Longfei and Luo Na are very busy recently, right?"
Yuan Shuiqing: "Well, that's for sure! Millions of funds are placed in the company's account, and we don't take any of it. We let them use it all to expand new stores. Can they not be busy? I can still see Kuang Longfei once or twice.
, because he still has to receive franchisees, and for Lorna, she has been basically looking for stores outside recently, and watching the decoration company decorate the store, I haven't seen her for almost a week! "
Sun Quan nodded slightly, played with Yuan Shuiqing's hair, sighed, and said: "It seems that we will continue to recruit people to enrich the company's management! I heard you say two days ago that we currently have 5 new stores.
Are we renovating at the same time, right? Once these five new stores are opened, and if we continue to open a few more new stores in the future, Kuang Longfei, Luo Na, and you shouldn't be able to manage them, right?"
Yuan Shuiqing smiled slightly, "Your news is out of date. Now there are not 5 new stores being renovated at the same time, but 7! Well, two of them are almost completed. Kuang Longfei said that they can officially open their doors in one week at most.
Open for business. But..."
After a pause, she nodded slightly, "But you are right, it is time to strengthen the management of our company! If nothing else, let's talk about Kuang Longfei! He now has to take care of the daily business of the current 9 stores, as well as
You have to take care of the investment and franchising, and at the same time, you have to divide your energy and time to take care of the new store decoration and personnel recruitment... Hehe, you, the big shopkeeper who doesn't usually go out, didn't you see... your squad leader - Kuang Longfei has already
I am so tired that I have lost a lot of weight..."
"Yeah?"
Sun Quan blinked, a little surprised and a little ashamed.
