Chapter 1208 Conditions of Cooperation
Synchronized with Ning Weimin's salary and company status, there is also his relationship with his cheap cousin, Shen Cun.
You know, Ning Weimin did not just drop his paws and forget about the fast food chain.
Not even waiting for Pierre Cardon to open for business, Ning Weimin found a time to drive Shen Cun to the site to see the locations of six fast food chain stores and the central kitchen equipment.
Then he spent two nights having a good chat with Shen Cun about the business model of Salia in Japan.
He told Shen Cun that as long as they follow Salia's example and adopt the business model of taking out the products from the production site - processing them in the central kitchen - and delivering them to the stores, they can minimize the cost of ingredients and labor.
In this way, not only can we attract a large number of loyal customers with high cost performance, but we can also achieve the highest work efficiency and table turnover rate.
In addition, the business location is good, there is no reason not to make money.
Ning Weimin even provided Shen Cun with some data that he had initially calculated.
As for Shen Cun, he fully recognized everything Ning Weimin showed him.
After he inspected the specific situation of the store on the spot, he took another look at Ning Weimin's "feasibility report."
By this time, it was already clear to him that Ning Weimin had really made great efforts to do this well.
Because those shops are all located in the commercial areas in the core of the capital.
Even though the signboards haven't been put up yet, the decoration style in each store that resembles a Western restaurant has already made many people poke their heads around.
This completely shows the attraction of exotic customs to people in the capital.
What's more, even the clothing store that Ning Weimin opened in a piece of space between two restaurants was overcrowded, there was an endless stream of people, and the business was booming.
In addition, Ning Weimin has done sufficient research and investigation work, and the data is detailed and credible.
Shen Cun, who originally thought that this matter was going to be a big deal, naturally no longer had any doubts at this time.
The truth is obvious, when there are no domestic competitors.
This kind of Western-style fast food restaurant that focuses on high cost performance and can represent exotic customs is very attractive to ordinary people.
In mainland China terms, it has a strong mass base and I believe that we will never worry about running out of business in the future.
Shen Cun even felt that the actual situation was much better than he originally imagined.
Because in addition to the hardware and operating procedures, they are already ready.
He really didn't expect that his little cousin was so organized and had already figured out the general direction of how to run the business.
It is not an exaggeration to say that "everything is ready, all we need is the east wind".
So what's the problem?
Although it seems that he got this fast food chain through plagiarism.
But the problem is that there is no infringement of plagiarism. Who is not learning from each other and imitating each other in the industry?
Besides, not everyone has the ability or ability to copy.
Ning Weimin was able to discover the value of Salia's business model before others, and he could see through the secret of Salia's business model at a glance.
Then he was able to take decisive action to get this matter to where it is now.
In Shen Cun's opinion, that's his skill.
To be honest, he was really tempted.
Besides this incident, Ning Weimin actually did not forget to fulfill Shen Cun's wish to open a design office.
On the tenth day of the lunar month, Ning Weimin took Shen Cun to the construction site of Pierre Cardon Company next to the International Trade Center and took him to see the completed building.
And then he was taken to the headquarters of Pierre Cardon Company and met with Song Huagui and Zou Guodong.
According to the introduction from Ningwei Folk Residence, Song Huagui and Zou Guodong naturally valued Shen Cun very much.
In addition to being concerned about An Shen, he said that the split of the fast food chain is a formal decision of the company, and there will definitely be no recurrence after the transaction between the two parties is completed.
After hearing Ning Weimin introduce that Shen Cun studied Western architecture and planned to open his own design office in the capital.
They also made a request to Shen Cun, hoping that he could come up with ideas for the hotel's decoration style.
Not to mention, Shen Cun does have real talent and learning.
Although he studied architecture in the United States, he has unique professional insights into the architectural styles of European countries.
Considering that Picardon is a French company, he made a few sketches and then made annotations and distinctions between Italian and French styles.
The luxurious sophistication shown in his paintings is a combination of classical French elements and Parisian decorative features.
Key features include herringbone floors, high ceilings and a neutral color palette punctuated by vibrant colors and gilded accents.
Crystal chandeliers and luxurious fabrics enhance the ambience, adding a layer of luxury to every room.
The most important thing is that he also knows how to use art paintings, utensils and lighting to reflect the inheritance and elegance of history and humanity.
This design concept really cannot be supported by a million granite pillars or a marble floor with a pattern.
In this way, Song Huagui and Zou Guodong were greatly appreciated by Shen Cun's design ideas and artistic taste.
They didn’t want to end up with a formalist freak that was packed with luxurious elements like a noisy mess.
After all, the domestic environment is still too closed.
Designers always use "foreign style" as a symbol to show off, but this actually puts them at a disadvantage.
So Song Huagui said on the spot that if Shen Cun is willing, Pierre Cardin Company is willing to temporarily hire him as the art consultant for the hotel project at a price of 100,000 yuan, and will be responsible for the overall decoration during the decoration project of the completed building. Grasp and adjust style.
Even at Ning Weimin's initiative, Song Huagui additionally nodded and agreed that after the hotel project in the Pierre Cardon Building was completed again, Shen Cun could be allowed to create something based on the demolished area. Design of outdoor courtyards and landmarks.
If this plan can also satisfy them, the decoration project completed under the supervision and guidance of Shen Cun will have a good final effect.
Then when the next building of Pierre Cardon Company is completed, including outdoor and indoor, all decoration project design can be handed over to Shen Cun.
For this reason, Shen Cun was overjoyed. Because to be honest, even in the United States, designing the decoration and exterior scenery of a hotel is a project that major design firms are competing for.
The design fees involved are calculated in the tens of millions of dollars.
Even if the domestic withdrawal fee is not so high, it is still tens of millions of yuan.
This project is also something that will make every construction unit in mainland China look at it with eager eyes.
Given that Shen Cun currently has no qualifications and conditions in the mainland, it was originally impossible for him to take over.
But now, because of Ning Weimin’s introduction, this project was almost given to him.
As long as he has some real ability and can keep his design in check, this should be what he has in his bag.
Needless to say, compared to the projects I worked so hard to come up with and finally won in the United States, I ended up in the position of making wedding dresses for others.
At this moment, Shen Cun's inner feelings were really complicated and inexplicable.
He never expected that after returning to the mainland, everything he had learned in his life would be put to use so quickly.
Now he really understands the meaning of "one of his own" as his mother said, and he doesn't seem to be so disgusted and resistant to the world's sophistication.
He didn’t know if it was because he was a Chinese after all, so he might be born with genes for this in his body.
Anyway, if he comes back to the United States.
If his past boss still left a message on the phone, urging him to return to the company, and using "official business" as an excuse to ask him to accept this hidden rule of racial discrimination.
Then he will definitely reply to a call and leave a cordial message, "Go to hell with business!"
Of course, Shen Cun has a deeper understanding of this person, Ning Weimin. value.
Don’t underestimate his youth. Judging from the fact that both the top and second-in-commands of Pierre Cardon Company listen to his words, his weight is extraordinary.
Thinking about it carefully, he basically finalized a design project worth tens of millions and a fast food project worth five million with just a few words.
Even in the United States, a person with such energy can easily decide on a business project worth two million US dollars, which is enough to be respected by others.
The key is that this person can make his personal career so prosperous in a country that is still very poor.
But he is not a child of a well-established family. He is just an orphan with no education and no parents. Everything he has today is achieved by his own mind.
This makes Shen Cun have to admire him and feel ashamed.
I even started to believe that there really is such a thing as "genius" in this world.
So to sum up, Ning Weimin has actually helped Shen Cun gain a foothold in the capital and pointed out the direction for his future career development.
It is conceivable that Shen Cun would also like to reciprocate the favor and reach an agreement with Ning Weimin on the fast food chain project as soon as possible and sign a cooperation contract.
If Guo and Jiang Nianyun hadn't already made an agreement, he promised his mother that he would wait for Ning Weimin to take the initiative to ask for the conditions.
In fact, he could not wait to discuss with Ning Weimin the issue of dividing the shares of the fast food chain after the joint venture.
The development of the facts was exactly as Jiang Nianyun expected. After Shen Cun understood almost everything, Ning Weimin came to Shen Cun on his own initiative and offered Shen Cun conditions.
"Brother, don't blame me for being anxious. This matter can't wait. Don't blame me for being reckless. We need to hurry up and let's work together. To be honest, since I started doing business, I have never suffered a loss unless something unexpected happened. And I I won't and can't cheat you. We are not ordinary, and we have the friendship of the previous generation. So I just opened the deal. If you feel that something is unreasonable, don't be embarrassed. Please tell me directly. "
"To be specific, you don't have to worry about funds. I can afford it. Not only do I have the five million to buy a few shops and a central kitchen, but I also have the money for subsequent operations. I can still do it. Come up with three million. And I have no worries about you. The money is completely yours to allocate, and I will not interfere with the specific business affairs when I am abroad. As long as you don’t deviate from my decision on the business model. The direction is set.”
“As for you, all you need to do is actually help me manage the store for three or four years. When I am free in a few years, you can do whatever you want. That’s it. As for the shares, if you are willing to invest, I can give you 15% of the shares if you can afford 1.5 million yuan.”
“If you are not willing to invest, you can. It doesn't matter, I will give you the same 15% dividend right in the past few years. Even after I take over the store, I will continue to pay you dividends according to this ratio in the next three years. In addition, if you replace me. If you don’t make one million yuan a year from this fast food chain business in the past few years, I will be responsible for making up for it. What do you think?”
Shen Cun was surprised when he heard this. Yu also thought it was a bit funny. He didn't expect Ning Weimin to offer such conditions.
To be honest, in terms of share of shares, what Ning Weimin was willing to give him was less than what he wanted, much less.
But Ning Weimin was willing to give him one million yuan a year, and was willing to pay six to seven million yuan for the few years he had spent, which he did not expect.
According to the official exchange rate, this is equivalent to 1.5 million US dollars.
If calculated over three years, the annual salary would be US$500,000 per year, which is quite generous.
Even if a medium-sized fast food chain company with dozens of branches in the United States hires a CEO, it probably won't cost so much.
What does this mean?
If it goes according to his mother's expectations, this is what Ning Weimin offers him as the most generous offer.
That only shows that Ning Weimin's expectations for this fast food chain far exceed his expectations.
And it is obvious that what Ning Weimin really wants to find is not a partner, but a professional manager who can temporarily handle the business on his behalf.
So although I can nod my head and agree, the conditions offered by Ning Weimin are actually quite good.
But in business, Shen Cun didn't want to completely follow his mother's instructions, and directly agreed or refused.
His heart was filled with ice and fire, he was happy and worried at the same time.
Happily, this business may be my luck. The more I think about it, the more promising it becomes.
He knew very well that Ning Weimin was just unable to distract himself and he had more important things to do.
If he hadn't happened to appear when he needed help.
Moreover, I am not unfamiliar with Western fast food, and I have an American passport.
Otherwise, I’m afraid this matter won’t be my turn at all.
The worry is that Ning Wei Minshe will not get a share of the cake, and his rash request for shares will hurt the fragile friendship between the two.
After much thought, Shen Cun finally considered a more suitable compromise plan. He wanted to discuss it in a gentle manner.
"Wei Min, since we are cooperating together, what can we do if I don't provide funds? I also have almost one million US dollars in my hand. I am optimistic about you and plan to invest half of it in a joint venture with you. But I I didn't expect you to think so. I understand your desire to take control of the company, but now it seems that you are basically providing funds and not participating in the operation. As the actual operator, I only have 15%. I'm a bit unwilling to hold shares. I'm willing to provide more funds. Do you think it's okay to ask for more shares? As for the one million you said, I thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary. I not only believe you. I also believe in my abilities, and from a cooperation perspective, we need to bear all risks together. Isn’t this fair? I won’t talk to you about remuneration. As long as I make achievements, I will get the dividends. ;If I can’t do it, I don’t have the shame to ask for payment. What do you think of this simple cooperation?”
