Shen Dapeng pondered in his heart that franchise stores are different from direct-operated stores. The store selection, price positioning, and sales efficiency of directly-operated stores are all determined by the headquarters; franchise stores pay a franchise fee to the headquarters, and the company cannot participate in many subsequent decisions unless forced to join.
into the contract.
"You have to think clearly. It's just one franchise store with multiple friends and multiple routes. In exchange for the Shanghai and Guangzhou-Shenzhen markets, it can also increase the brand effect in the two first-tier cities. I think it's great, so I discussed it with you.
And there is a franchise fee of five million, which can solve your temporary financial problem."
"Five million? How much does a provincial agent for an air purifier cost? You should know, right? Are you sure I will be blackmailed for five million? What a joke."
Shen Dapeng was silent for a moment, shook his head and sighed, obviously very dissatisfied with Cao Zhang's petty thoughts. He let Cao Zhang manage all the directly-operated stores in the capital, and this guy actually ate from the bowl and looked at the pot.
"Dapeng, you don't believe me? Do you think I want to occupy the Shanghai and Guangzhou-Shenzhen markets? Do you think I want to occupy the franchise store's ten-year management rights? You underestimate me."
Hearing Shen Dapeng's series of incomprehensible questions, Cao Zhang smiled bitterly, "The school season for freshmen has arrived, and Xiaoyu mobile phones are about to enter the market. Don't you think we should increase Xiaoyu's brand awareness as soon as possible? The mobile phone market changes every year, do you think?
Let Jason and the others’ efforts go to waste?”
"..."
Shen Dapeng continued to remain silent. He could not understand Cao Zhang's thoughts more and more. Logically speaking, he should know more about conspiracy and intrigue than Cao Zhang. Why was he always taken advantage of by Cao Zhang?
It seems that as he has grown up to this point in this life, the people and things he has encountered have gradually exceeded his knowledge in his previous life. Apart from the development direction of the future environment, the help that rebirth can bring him is weakening.
Fortunately, he never wasted time. Whether actively or passively, he always kept moving forward and his own learning never stopped. Even if he couldn't study professional books on various subjects, he could at least know a little bit about it.
It may be difficult for him to become an elite in a certain subject, but he can still manage the overall situation and plan for the future.
And looking back at the final choices of various business tycoons, they basically delegated power, retreated to the second line, and lived a carefree life. How different could he be?
"Is your friend very powerful?" Shen Dapeng straightened his body and asked seriously.
"They are both stronger than me. They are young masters from powerful families in Shanghai and Guangshen. They are similar to me. When they reach the age of fighting for power in the family, they want to make some achievements on their own and earn the support of the family elders."
Cao Zhang's words are very true. No matter how big or small a family is, there will always be internal struggles for power. If young people want to rise to the top, they must show abilities that are different from ordinary people. This is the case for him, Cao Zhang, and his friends are also in the same situation, as well as the Huang family.
Huang Bin, why did you temporarily put aside Cao Mengyuan and open an electrical appliance supermarket? It was just to take over the Huang family.
"Okay, Xiaoyu Life Hall... you and your friends can join in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. I agree, but I have conditions and must be included in the contract."
"Say." Cao Zhang's eyes showed bursts of excitement. He really wanted to help Shen Dapeng, and he also wanted to make profits from it. It was not considered using Shen Dapeng, but he wanted to prove himself to the Cao family, and making money was the most direct way.
Xiaoyu Life Center gave him a taste of the sweetness, and his thoughts gradually increased. If Beijing can make money, then Shanghai and Guangzhou, which are both first-tier cities and have better economic development, will naturally not be too bad.
"1. The selling price of all goods must not be lower than that of directly-operated stores, nor must it be 20% higher than that of directly-operated stores."
"Second, all payments must be paid in advance according to the quarterly plan. The company does not accept product returns or exchanges."
"Three, within one year, we must open ten franchise stores in Shanghai and Guangzhou and Shenzhen, for a total of twenty."
"Four, the most important thing is that five million is not enough for my aunt to sign her name."
Shen Dapeng stirred the ice cubes in his coffee, "Xiaoyu Life Store is my idea. I can decide whether to operate it directly or to franchise it, but the suppliers are my aunt and Wang Yuying. Do you want to exchange five million for two franchise stores?
Supply channels? Do you think that with Xiaoyu’s existing brand effect, you can’t find an agent willing to pay 50 million?”
"You are short of money, so I took the initiative to introduce investors to you. However, I do want to invest in franchise stores with my friends, but I will make them strictly follow the company's requirements. Look at the few stores in Beijing, aren't they pretty good?
With me here, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai can't go wrong. Once the market is opened, our directly-operated stores will be established immediately."
Cao Zhang was obviously older, but he could only laugh in front of Shen Dapeng at this moment, especially when he heard the four things Shen Dapeng said, which were actually to strangle them from three aspects: price, supply, and number of franchise stores.
Everything is still decided by the company. No matter who opens the franchise store, there can be no trouble. As for whether the franchise fee is 5 million or 50 million, it is just a condition that Shen Dapeng is feinting.
"I'll think about the game company. You should also discuss the Guangshen and Shanghai franchises. Let me know the result... However, I suggest you hurry up. Now that my aunt's company has settled in the capital, funds are tight and many conditions are more stringent.
It's easy to communicate. After a while, the capital chain becomes stable, and my aunt may not agree."
"Dapeng, everything else is easy to discuss, but... ten franchise stores within a year, isn't it too fast?"
In Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai, each city has ten stores a year, which is equivalent to opening one store every month, renting a store, decorating it, and distributing goods. The time is too rushed.
And even if the franchise fee is temporarily waived, Shen Dapeng still has to pay for the goods in advance. The 20 stores in Shanghai and Guangzhou and Shenzhen have invested at least 20 million in the first year, and the risk exceeded his expectations.
"I'll take a step back. Ten stores a year, five stalls in business district buildings, and five formal shops of more than 100 square meters. As for the speed of opening stores, you decide for yourself."
Shen Dapeng paused for a moment and made a calculation in his mind, "I don't want more than the franchise fee. Ten million, I will invest it all in the game company, and I will hold 67% of the shares, and have the veto power of the board of directors. Is that okay?"
"this……"
Cao Zhang was stunned, looking at Shen Dapeng's expressionless and cold look, he felt unhappy in his heart. He was obviously plotting against Shen Dapeng, and wanted to take advantage of Shen Dapeng's lack of funds to win the franchise rights of Shanghai and Guangzhou-Shenzhen lifestyle centers.
How come he has to spend nearly 30 million in cash to join and make purchases within a year after chatting? And Shen Dapeng is about to become the largest shareholder of the game company with a veto power as soon as his upper and lower lips touch?
"You know very well the profits of Lifestyle Store in first-tier cities, and you don't need me to tell you about the future development prospects. If you can't make the decision, discuss it with your friends."
Shen Dapeng leaned back in his chair, calmly and always with a faint smile, talking about tens of millions of investments, his eyes were calm, but his tone was somewhat tough.
"There is no need to discuss it. This matter is settled. You will vote all 10 million to the game company. As for the veto power... it also belongs to you. Anyway, Lu Ming and I are not interested in games. We are all here to help Tang
