This is not the first time Gao Bin has experienced starting a business, and most of them were in Shanghai, so he is very familiar with it.
He found an agency to go through the formalities, and he made an appointment with an agent to look at the office space. The store and administrative offices had to be separated, so he still chose to rent an office building.
For the sake of convenience, I might as well not go anywhere else but the central building where Anti and Chenxing are.
This building brings together many well-known domestic and foreign companies. Choosing the office here will also be conducive to utilizing various resources in the future.
He rented half of the 23rd floor, and the other half was the Chinese office of a foreign family fund.
As for the office building, there is no need to decorate it. Contact the property management company to make some slight changes to the layout, and then you can buy office furniture and equipment to move in.
The tables and chairs were all 90% new second-hand goods. It happened that a company downstairs had quit, so Gao Bin bought them in packages at a bargain price, and they even guaranteed door-to-door delivery.
The computer is brand new, just an imac. I will have to find a software company to build an internal management system.
After he finished all this, the HR lady introduced in the congratulatory letter was in place.
She is not a high-end talent, but she has worked in this industry for many years. She was a beautiful woman who was expected to be promoted to the chief human resources officer of a listed company. Because she went home to give birth to a child and take maternity leave, her promotion opportunity was snatched away by her colleagues, so she resigned in anger.
Work at home and take care of your children.
Now that her child has just turned one year old, she doesn’t want to be away from front-line work for too long, so she is eager to find a job.
It happened that Gaobin Company was just starting up, so I came to take a look after hearing the introduction in the congratulatory letter.
I thought that there was no advantage in joining a big company now, so I might as well find a job rhythm in this start-up company. If I started working, I would be a hero of Conglong. Therefore, this social elite of Molly joined the ‘A Good’ boutique supermarket.
God knows how speechless the congratulatory letter was after hearing Gao Bin’s name. Can he be more casual?
Will we be able to run chain stores in the future, called ‘a big’ supermarket and ‘a small’ supermarket?
Gao Bin originally started his own business with a playful mentality, so it naturally becomes interesting.
Anyway, Molly thinks this name is good, catchy and memorable.
With the recruitment of personnel, Gao Bin no longer has to worry about recruitment. On the one hand, with introductions through congratulatory letters and friends introducing friends, the administrative team was quickly assembled, and the next step was the highlight.
The future store of a good supermarket welcomes the boss and all administrative staff. Of course, Congratulations and Chen Junsheng are also there.
"Boss, these are three sets of design plans given by the design company. Which one do you think is suitable?"
Chang Mingyuan, the manager in charge of brand promotion, was beside Gao Bin and asked while dragging the design renderings with his hands.
Three sets of plans, three different tones, Gao Bin fell in love with the one with deep sea blue as the main color at a glance:
"That's it. Most of our ingredients come from the ocean, so naturally we have to use main colors that are close to the color of the ocean."
"Okay boss, I'll reply right away and ask them to pick an auspicious day to start work as soon as possible."
"Give them 50 days, if they exceed one day, the money will be deducted."
"Understood."
Gao Bin turned to look at Peng Yu, the boss of the purchasing department and He Han's friend, a woman who was more manly than men.
"How about the overseas office?"
Peng Yu has a background in a prestigious school and has a wide network of contacts. Although he has no procurement-related experience, as the boss of the department, he does not need to do it himself. He only needs to be responsible for coordination and liaison.
Besides, Gao Bin not only serves as the general manager of the company, but also serves as the chief purchasing officer. With him here, there is no need to worry about finding ingredients.
"At present, the planned offices in Sapporo, Jeju Island, and Kamchatka have formed a framework, and personnel are in place one after another. It is expected that work can start in one month." Peng Yu reported crisply.
"Okay, the current three offices should be enough. The next step is to build two more offices in central and western Europe. You need to plan your time."
"Understood!"
Gao Bin slapped his forehead:
"What about the domestic office?"
"Bincheng in the north, Jincheng and Jincheng in the west, and Yangcheng in the south are under preparation, and the personnel are expected to be in place to start work within half a month."
"Got it."
At this time, the congratulatory letter asked:
"Europe wants to build two?"
"Yes, there must be one in France, and I plan to set up the other in southern Italy, but there is no rush."
He found the transportation manager who was not far away to communicate with others. He was a very honest man, his surname was Fu, and his name was Fu Haiyang.
"Lao Fu, how is the team doing?"
"Boss, the drivers are all in place. According to your instructions, we will recruit experienced drivers with military car class background."
"How many?"
"24 people, two people per car."
"Okay, when will the car arrive?"
"It's expected to take a month. I will contact the manufacturer directly to make modifications according to our needs. It will take some time."
"The payment can be settled, don't be too anxious."
Lao Fu laughed naively:
"I understand, I will delay the final payment for a while."
"Okay, there's basically no problem. Molly, have you found the store manager? We need to hurry up, recruit supermarket service staff, and pay close attention to training. My only requirement is that the customer comes first, and the service must be in place."
Molly nodded:
"The store manager's interview will be held this afternoon, and the results will definitely come out tonight."
"Okay, publicity department?"
"Boss, here." A 30-year-old girl who looked full of adolescence weakly raised her hand. Compared with a bunch of veteran professionals in the workplace, she was too young.
"Increase the proportion of publicity investment in self-media, and traditional promotion will be enough."
"Yes, boss, I have contacted many self-media companies and signed long-term promotion contracts."
"Okay, where is Xiao Han?"
Xiao Han was the first person to follow him, and now that he has established a company, naturally he cannot leave her behind.
Gao Bin asked her to be in charge of the key account department, which will also be the most important department of the company in the future.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Individual spending power is still not as good as the purchasing scale of large customers, so we cannot give up no matter what.
"I'm here, Brother Bin, ah, no, boss."
Xiao Han was used to calling him Brother Bin, but he forgot to change his name for a while.
This is not the point. Gao Bin waved his hand and told her:
"This opening, how many orders you can place will be directly related to the performance on the opening day, so you have to protect your customers and keep an eye on me. If you don't have enough manpower, I tell you, Sister Mo Li, to hire people!"
Xiao Han nodded heavily:
"I know boss."
Molly smiled bitterly:
"I didn't expect that our company has just started, and the busiest thing is my personnel."
Molly is not kidding, she is indeed too busy. She interviews from morning to night, and has to work overtime when she gets home at night to read resumes and recover information from applicants. In her words, it was not so hard before her children were weaned.
But she feels very fulfilled. Compared with taking care of her children at home, she can endure no matter how tired she is at work.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you red envelopes later. Okay, that's it for the tour. Let's get moving."
Everyone dispersed in a hurry. The reason why we came here today was to identify our location. Even our employees couldn’t find where the door of their own supermarket opened.
After they all left, He Han joked to Luo Zijun:
"How's it going? Are you tired of being an assistant to such a boss?"
"I'm a little tired, but I like this kind of life. The most important thing is that if my boss gives me a salary increase, I will definitely be happy!"
Luo Zijun was also lucky. She caught up with Gao Bin and started his own business. From a little bastard with a monthly salary of 5,000, he became the chairman's secretary. His monthly salary doubled, and he also received various welfare bonuses. She was so happy every day that she couldn't close her mouth. p>
Chen Junsheng stood aside and laughed awkwardly, but Luo Zijun ignored him and pretended that he could not see this person.
"I feel so relieved to see you growing up so fast."
"Tch, it makes you look like an emperor."
Gao Bin came over and asked:
"What are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about your assistant. I got a salary increase and I'm in a great mood."
"Haha, she did a good job. She is a little stupid, but she is better than being obedient."
Luo Zijun was helpless. He had really not worked for a long time. Sometimes he was so clumsy that he couldn't even understand the office software.
In other words, if Gao Bin used her, a different boss would have fired her long ago.
"Okay, let's be serious, during the opening week, can't you get some good stuff for your house?" He Han asked.
"I definitely want it. I have contacted Neon and am planning to order a bluefin tuna weighing more than 600 pounds. On the opening day, I will ask Lao Zhuo to come and break it down."
Congratulatory letter surprised:
"Hey, more than 600 pounds? How much does it cost?"
"Almost 2 million, I'm willing to risk it all."
"The bluefin gold gun shouldn't have to worry about selling."
"That's for sure. I've already released the news. 80% of this fish has been reserved, and the rest will be distributed in a few days."
"That's good, is there anything else? Tuna alone is not enough."
"I'll go to Dinghai tomorrow to see if I can order a batch of large yellow croaker."
"Wild?"
"It's wild, but it's rare to find it. I asked someone to tell the fishermen over there that if they happen to catch it, they must keep it for us."
The congratulatory letter deeply agrees:
"Price doesn't matter. As long as it's a truly wild large yellow croaker, someone will buy it no matter how much it costs."
"Yeah."
“Seafood alone isn’t enough, right?”
"Don't worry, there are wagyu beef from Xiaoben, black pigs from Jeju Island, beach sheep from Jincheng, lion-head geese from Goose City, Bresse chicken from France, everything that can fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water!"< /p>
Chen Junsheng had never dared to talk to him, but he suddenly said out of curiosity:
"What is Braise Chicken?"
The congratulatory letter couldn't help but licked his lips:
"This is good stuff."
Gao Bin nodded, it is indeed a good thing. It is known as the "King's Bird", how can it be bad?
To put it simply, this chicken is fat and tender. Because of its small fiber, the meat juice will penetrate into every inch of the texture during cooking, achieving a "steaming" effect. You can easily dig out a delicious chicken breast with a spoon.< /p>
France’s nickname is Gallic Rooster, which shows how much people in this country love chickens.
In French, a chicken has different names according to male and female, age, etc.;
Roast capon is the most anticipated delicacy of the French people at Christmas. It must be a capon, because the capon is more tender and juicy than ordinary chickens, and the belly is stuffed with precious black truffles and minced pork.
As for Bresse chicken, it is the best among chickens, probably equivalent to the status of Liu Rushi and Li Shishi in history.
A gentle plain is often covered with thick fog, and time feels particularly slow. Low farmhouses are scattered on the hundreds of miles of grassland, which still retain the structure and self-sufficient feeding method of a hundred years ago. This rare tranquility makes Brace feel like
Abandoned and independent.
The Blaise Plain is divided into three different administrative regions (previously an independent province). It takes about an hour to take a train from the neighboring city of Bresbourg to Lyon, but it is relatively complete geographically.
It is a fertile plain that is 100 kilometers long from north to south and about 35 kilometers from east to west, between the central mountains of France and the Jura Mountains. It is formed by the alluvial flow of the Saone River and is dotted with many ponds.
The local soil is particularly fertile, with lush grass and continuous corn and buckwheat fields growing there. Because the geology is rich in "clay" and has poor water permeability, the ground is moist and many earthworms and other molluscs grow there.
Such conditions are particularly suitable for raising chickens on vast grasslands. The 1930s were the peak time for local small farmers to raise Bresse chickens, with an annual output of more than 4 million. Due to reliance on artificial feeding, only 1/3 of the current output has become
More precious.
Bresse chickens are commonly known only because of the place of origin. In fact, they are actually a breed of chicken called "Garus". Originally, there were two other gray and black breeds raised locally.
In 1957, after the Bresse chicken became the first and only chicken protected by French legal production areas, it was stipulated that only white-feathered Gallus chickens were allowed.
The French regard the Bresse chicken as the "national chicken", which is closely related to its highly recognizable appearance: bright red comb, pure white feathers, blue-gray paws, and a combination of red, white, and blue.
The same color as the French flag.
Gao Bin explained to Chen Junsheng:
"The most special thing about raising Bresse chickens is that they are raised on grass. Each chicken's activity range is protected by regulations, and it must eat freely on more than 5,000 square meters of grass.
And the chicken flock cannot exceed 500, which means that each chicken needs at least 10 square meters of space to move and forage.
Every two pieces of grassland where chickens are raised must be separated by more than 200 meters to avoid interfering with each other and transmitting diseases.
In addition, chickens particularly hate basking in the sun, so it is best to have a small forest next to the grassland for them to rest.
Only two batches of chickens can be raised on the same piece of grass a year, and sufficient time must be allowed to "recover", because small bugs such as earthworms on the land are the most natural protein and can help the chickens grow more meat.
The local agriculture and dairy industry are also quite developed. In addition to feeding Bresse chickens freely, the farm owner also feeds them corn and other grains and milk.
In addition to fresh milk, sometimes milk powder or whey leftover from cheese production is used instead. Except for grains and dairy products, no other additives can be used to feed Bresse chickens, which can be said to be quite protective for them.
Moreover, chickens are generally caught at night. If there are scratches on the skin due to fright, struggle, or scratches, the chicken cannot be classified as a Bresse chicken at the legal production area level.
The locals also have a very vivid description - when they are grazing on the grass, it is like participating in the Tour de France. The body will grow strong muscles, but it will be too hard and not delicious.
Putting a chicken in a chicken coop to gain weight is like sending a chicken after a competition to the French Riviera for vacation. You can lie down and eat and drink every day to relax your muscles and grow a little fat.
With these two processes, the texture of the chicken will be more balanced and delicious.
A delicious Bresse chicken should ideally weigh between 1.8 and 2 kilograms after removing its feathers and internal organs. Roosters are generally heavier, but stronger and can withstand cooking; hens are slightly lighter and have relatively tender meat, suitable for roasting or steaming.
”
Just listening to it makes people drool. Chen Junsheng licked his face and asked:
“I don’t know when I will be able to eat it.”
Gao Bin laughed:
"It's coming soon. The chickens I ordered are already being fattened. I'll fly over and I'll treat you to them."
The congratulatory letter said:
"I remember eating pork belly and black truffle chicken stew once in France. The taste is still unforgettable."
Gao Bin nodded in agreement:
"This is one of the representative dishes of a generation of famous French chefs. Black truffles are stuffed into the chicken skin of Bresse chicken, and the pig belly is pierced and cooked slowly, so that the water vapor will not leak out, and the effect is similar to that of a cast iron pot.
Chicken is not easy to cook.
When it is served, the waiter will hold such a big ball, open the air bag in front of you, and skillfully cut the chicken.
The chicken is soaked with the flavor of black truffle, and is topped with morel white sauce. With just a slight cut, you can cut off just enough tender chicken and put it into your mouth. The rich and mellow smell lingers in your mouth for a long time.
But compared to this luxurious cooking method, I prefer the local traditional roast chicken cooking method. As long as it is not roasted too old, some dripping juices are poured on the chicken from time to time, and simply seasoned with salt, it is enough to give you a skill
Delicious crit."
Congratulatory letter with exclamation:
"I want to eat it again, but for these ingredients, you have used all the connections you have accumulated in half your life, right?"
"That's about right. If I didn't have enough time, I would still like to fly to South America."
"Going to South America?"
"I personally think the seafood in Chile is more worth eating than the seafood in Neon, but it's just that it's too far away from us, so the freshness is bound to be compromised."
After a pause, he took out his mobile phone and looked up the photos of his big meal in Chile. The table was covered with all kinds of seafood, which made people want to eat just looking at it.
“Chilean oysters are no less than the top oysters from France and Australia.
Oysters are produced all over the world, but only cold seawater can grow delicious and crispy oyster meat.
Chile's waters close to Antarctica have clear sea water, excellent water quality, suitable water temperature, and a natural pollution-free environment. The result is Chilean oysters, whose meat is tender, crystal white, non-odorous and slightly sweet.
The texture and taste are no less than those famous oyster varieties."
The congratulatory letter once again expressed emotion:
"I am reminded of Maupassant's description:
An old sailor in ragged clothes used a knife to pry open the oysters and handed them to the two gentlemen, who then handed them to the two ladies.
They eat in a very elegant way, holding the oysters in a small handkerchief and stretching their heads slightly forward to avoid soiling their robes;
Then the mouth quickly moved slightly, sucked in the juice, and threw the oyster shell into the sea."
Indeed, Maupassant vividly describes the scene of nobles eating oysters. After reading it, it feels like the sea breeze is really blowing on the face, and the tender and juicy oysters make people salivate.
