Chapter 542 99 The Status Quo of Braised Chicken and Sun Quan's Plan
On the night when he returned to the capital, Sun Quan told Yuan Shuiqing that he wanted to buy a house in the capital and asked for her opinion.
It was late at night when he said it, and Yuan Shuiqing was sleeping in his arms.
After listening to Sun Quan quietly, she asked softly: "Are you so optimistic about the future development of real estate?"
Sun Quan wanted to laugh a little.
As a reborn person, do you need to be optimistic about this? It's absolutely certain! At least on the eve of his rebirth, real estate was still very stable. Even though housing prices have skyrocketed, there are still no signs of collapse.
"Um."
He responded like this.
Yuan Shuiqing: "Then what kind of house do you want to buy? Or a villa?"
Sun Quan hesitated slightly, "If you can buy a courtyard house, that would be the best."
The reason why he hesitated was because it was already 2010 and house prices had risen a lot, especially in the first-tier cities in China. House prices of tens of thousands of yuan per square meter were no longer uncommon.
Although the current housing prices are still incomparable to those before his rebirth, the prices of ordinary commercial housing in big cities are already so high. How high will the prices of courtyard houses be?
He is not afraid that the value will not appreciate after buying it, but he is afraid that after investing all his money, the development of the company and studio under his and Yuan Shuiqing's names will be affected.
Yuan Shuiqing: "Siheyuan? Okay, I will let people know the price of the Siheyuan over there later. If the price is right, then find a way to buy one!"
Sun Quan: "Well, I'll leave this to you. You can serve some snacks."
Yuan Shuiqing: "Yeah."
After a pause, she asked: "By the way, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to M city recently. It won't be good if we are away from the company for a long time. How about you take the time to go back and have a look? Besides, your studio, you and
It won’t work if Fu Lei isn’t here, right?”
Sun Quan nodded slightly, "Well, okay! Fu Lei and I will go back together in two days! Xiao Cai and Mrs. Wang are here to help you. Huo Yiyi lives next door, and Luo Na is also here. We are here
There are also many people in our company, so you should be fine here."
Yuan Shuiqing rubbed her cheek against his and asked with a smile: "What? Aren't you afraid that if I stay here for a long time, I will have any conflicts with Lorna?"
Sun Quan burst into laughter.
He stretched out his hand and pinched her nose, "Why do you always associate Lorna with me? Aren't you afraid that if you say it too many times, what will happen to me if I have an impulse in the future?"
Yuan Shuiqing rubbed his face again, hugged his waist, and said softly: "It's just because I believe you two have nothing to do with each other that I occasionally make fun of them. If you really have something to say, I won't say anything."
Sun Quan smiled.
After a while, just when Sun Quan thought she had fallen asleep, she asked softly: "By the way, after your "The Voice of China" is over, what are you going to do next? Are you still doing variety shows?"
This question kind of knocked Sun Quan down.
Because he hasn't made up his mind yet.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "What do you think? Why don't you give me some advice?"
Yuan Shuiqing shook his head slightly, "Every line is like a mountain. I don't understand this, so I won't give you any advice. You should make your own decision!"
up to you?
Sun Quan still couldn't make up his mind for a while.
He originally wanted to collaborate with Xue Zihan on this variety show, take the opportunity to get involved in the film and television industry, and then find an opportunity to make a web series to test the waters.
But now he feels that the time is not yet ripe. His involvement in the film and television industry is still too shallow, and he has not accumulated enough relevant contacts needed to make online dramas.
…
At noon on the second day after Sun Quan returned to Magic City, the nanny Wang's wife came to work. As soon as she came, Sun Quan's family's food was guaranteed.
But Sun Quan didn't enjoy it for long. The day after Mrs. Wang's arrival, he packed his luggage and went back home with Fu Lei, and flew directly back to City M.
As for the BMW they drove to the Magic City before, they left it to Yuan Shuiqing and the others for the time being.
Back in City M, he at least still had a Jetta available.
Well! He went back to the days of driving a Jetta.
Maybe in the eyes of people who know his current net worth, this guy is too low-key, too low-key. He earns 20,000 to 300,000 yuan a month, or even more, from royalties alone, but he drives a Jetta that costs tens of thousands of yuan.
…
Sun Quan himself had no feelings at all.
For him, a car is just a means of transportation, and whether it is good or bad is not that important. A few years ago, before he was reborn, he was still driving a second-hand junk car. In comparison, this Jetta is now very good.
alright.
When he returned to M City, he went to the company several times and sat in the Xianyu Studio every day.
He is a bit rusty because he has not personally taken care of things in the company for a long time, but after all, he graduated with a major in catering, and he is not an outsider in many things.
Yuan Shuiqing's secretary was still there. He listened to Yuan Shuiqing's secretary introduce the current situation of the company in detail, and then learned more from his old classmates Kuang Longfei and Dong Chuan. Then he summoned several senior executives in the company and listened to their reports.
For the time being, he understood almost everything about it.
Even if there are still some unclear points, it will be clear after asking Yuan Shuiqing when I have video contact with her every night.
After a few days of understanding.
He was surprised to learn that the company currently has 148 99 Braised Chicken branches.
These 148 branches are currently mainly distributed in various cities in the province, including county towns. 18 of them are located in Shanghai, all of which were organized by Luo Na after her visit.
In addition, the number of franchise stores is even greater, currently growing to 236.
According to Kuang Longfei, there are nearly 100 of these 236 branches, which grew rapidly after the broadcast of "The Voice of China" and the spread of the advertising effect of 99 Braised Chicken on this program.
Not only have franchise stores expanded rapidly recently, but also dozens of the 148 branches invested by the company have recently invested in rapid expansion.
At first glance, the above data are quite scary.
There are as many as 148 branches. So to what extent has the total value of his 99-yellow braised chicken expanded?
actually not!
The reason why the branch has been able to develop so fast is mainly because someone Sun came up with this 99-yellow braised chicken, and the investment cost of a single store is very small.
More than 90% of these 148 branches are rented. The initial rent plus deposit for a store is only tens of thousands of yuan, and the investment in kitchen equipment and restaurant tables and chairs is also very small.
It can be said that a total investment of only tens of thousands of yuan is needed to open a branch.
What really restricts the rapid expansion of branches is the staffing of each branch.
For example, a store manager, a chef, or a waiter.
Among them, qualified store managers are the biggest constraint. In comparison, chefs and waiters are relatively easy to recruit, but a qualified and trustworthy store manager cannot be recruited casually.
Otherwise, the current number of branches of Sun X's catering company may be doubled.
Because he saw more than 16 million in capital reserves in the company's account.
Many of these are franchise fees from franchisees who have recently been attracted by advertisements.
148 branches...More than 16 million in funds...
After learning this situation, Sun Quan hesitated.
This more than 16 million yuan may seem like a lot of money, but if you really use it to buy a courtyard house in the capital, I'm afraid it will be drained away in no time.
As for the development of the company and the development of Xianyu Studio, he still has some ideas, and those ideas require funds to become reality.
He frowned and thought for an afternoon before he made up his mind.
If you want to buy a courtyard house and develop your company and studio, you need to consider loans and financing.
You will definitely need a loan to buy a courtyard house. You cannot use your own funds to buy it. It is not cost-effective.
And financing…
He thought of Huo Yiyi and Xue Zihan.
Huo Yiyi's father is rich, Xue Zihan himself is rich, maybe Xue Zihan's father is also rich?
As for his new idea about the company's development, he only needs to come up with a feasible plan and convince the two women, and the funds for the company's development will be there.
In this way, his company can probably still keep several million in development funds in its account.
With the decision made in his mind, he wasn't so worried anymore.
He did not interfere with the specific operations of the company and left it to Kuang Longfei. He was relieved. He would only occasionally come to the company to attend meetings or listen to the reports below and review and approve some documents.
As for Xianyu Studio, he was even more relaxed.
A few years ago, he had left the specific management of the studio to Fu Lei. Now that Fu Lei is back with him, he can naturally continue to let Fu Lei take care of it.
He only needs to listen to Fu Lei's occasional reports and give guidance to several gunmen in the studio to write the manuscript.
During this period, he went to Hangzhou to participate in the recording of several episodes of "The Voice of China".
His life is much busier and more fulfilling than it was a year ago.
The update of "The God-killing Sword in the Clouds" is still slow, with two chapters every day and a total of 6,000 words.
The book review area has book fans urging for updates every day. What is different from the past is that recently, in the book review area for this book, there are not only posts urging updates, but also some posts discussing "The Voice of China".
At present, almost all his fans know that the recently popular "The Voice of China" was planned by him, and he is also the deputy director of this show.
In response to this, book fans who did not like this program expressed disgust and criticized him for not doing his job properly. There are not many such book fans.
Most book fans still like the program "The Voice of China". After all, this program is very groundbreaking and refreshing. Not only has many strong new singers been born, but the blind audition method of the previous episodes of the program is also different from
Other music talent shows that have appeared in the past.
Sun Quan has recently focused a lot of his energy on this show, company management, and studio work, which has indeed resulted in him spending a lot less time writing manuscripts every day.
This is a remarkable fact.
The most direct consequence is that he never has enough manuscripts on hand.
But in such a busy life, with energy scattered in so many places, it is not without its benefits. Traditional writers like to collect stories and recommend authors to experience life more.
And the things Sun Quan has been doing recently to distract himself, whether intentionally or unintentionally, have actually increased his life experience and broadened his horizons.
And these are all beneficial to his writing.
He can clearly feel that although his coding volume has dropped recently, in the process of writing and considering the plot, his overall view has become better than before.
