Chapter 74: Going out for a drink tonight
"How to say?"
Seeing the wry smile on Huang Xu's face, Huang Chao was a little confused and didn't understand why Huang Xu was like this.
"Brother, think about it, when we are in our hometown and do business in a foreign country, do we have to be more careful and low-key? Even after we reach a certain scale, do we have to give back to the society?"
"That's for sure. When business is good, some people will be jealous. Plus, if you don't know the place, it won't work if you don't cultivate your reputation."
"The truth is the same. We only have four stores now, but we are making such a big noise, and there will be twenty franchise stores to open next. The situation will be different by then.
And this is only the first batch. When the second and third batch of franchise stores open, do you think there will be people?"
When Huang Chao heard this, he also understood what Huang Xu was thinking.
"Are you saying that we also need to cultivate reputation now?"
"Sure, if you don't do it now, it will be bad later."
"Okay, what should I do next? What to do?"
Seeing that his cousin already knew the importance of the matter, Huang Xu told him his thoughts.
"Well, it's very simple, just go around Seoul and some here."
In fact, what Huang Xu asked his cousin to do was very simple, which was to find some less developed rural areas around Seoul, find local vegetable farmers, set up a purchasing company, and purchase some agricultural products such as vegetables from them.
The benefits of doing this are manifold.
First of all, the purchase price of the products will be slightly lower. After all, it eliminates the need for middlemen, and can also provide low-priced agricultural products to its franchise customers and reduce their costs.
Of course, if that's the case, then Huang Xu can be said to be thankless for his efforts.
His real purpose is actually for these farmers.
At this time, since there are relatively few stores, it is not possible to achieve any scale. It is just about reducing costs.
But what if his stores continue to increase?
When there are hundreds or even hundreds of stores, the amount of ingredients consumed in these stores every day is not a small amount.
By this time, behind his purchasing company, there will be thousands of farmers providing agricultural and sideline products.
Even when he opens more franchise products, the number of farmers under his banner will continue to increase.
If he was fine, these farmers would not be of any use.
But if someone is really jealous and wants to attack him, then these farmers who provide products will be Huang Xu's talisman.
People in South Korea are different from those in China. If you really offend them, they won't just shout support on the Internet.
They really know how to "real" you directly offline.
In particular, people in South Korea prefer to hold demonstrations and protests.
So when someone threatens Huang Xu and affects these people's jobs, their role will come into play.
The fighting power of these people is not something that ordinary people or ordinary companies can resist.
This is Huang Xu's purpose, to find a talisman for himself.
At the same time, there will be another benefit, that is, you can brush up on social favorability in normal times.
After all, South Korea is a relatively complicated place. If someone is provoking trouble, it will be really difficult for him to implement his chain store plan.
But if these farmers were there, the situation would be a little easier.
Of course, these are just Huang Xu's preparations for the future.
In fact, there is another best method, which not only does not require so much effort, but also prevents many ambitious people from taking action.
Nip the danger in the bud.
That is to ask a beautiful Chinese person to be your white glove, and put your business and behavior in the cloak of a beautiful country.
Then he doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing happening in his franchise store business.
It’s just that white gloves are not that easy to find.
First of all, it is required that the white gloves cannot be white, at least they must have a certain background.
Otherwise, we won’t be able to control the situation.
The second thing is that this person's ambitions should not be too big. It would be best if he only shows his face and doesn't care about things, or even doesn't come to Korea very often. Otherwise, Huang Xu would be worried that he would occupy the dove's nest and end up playing with himself, which would be bad.
After all, I am a business novice and am not good at company management or development.
At most, they can just come up with ideas or something like that.
However, it is time to put it on the agenda now to find beautiful Chinese people as white gloves.
After the first batch of franchise stores here are opened, the second batch and even the third batch of stores will be installed as soon as possible.
Otherwise it will be too late.
According to Huang Xu's memory, Kim Kwang Soo should receive an investment next year to establish MBK Entertainment, which in turn will acquire Tara's agency.
If he waits until then, it will be too late for him to take action.
Huang Xu is quite envious of Tara and the others.
This kind of girl group with good looks and relatively strong strength will basically become a cash cow after receiving it, as long as it follows the development trajectory of its previous life.
He doesn't want to miss this group now, let alone this opportunity to make a fortune.
But these are still plans for the future. The most important thing for Huang Xu now is to sign the first batch of franchise stores.
So he spent the next few days dealing with signing-related matters.
At the same time, we are also looking for a suitable place for the next new office space.
Now a group of people are still huddled together in a temporarily converted office on the second floor of the restaurant.
Everything here is temporary, even the offices of him and his uncle were simply transformed from the original private rooms.
Although the space on the second floor of the store is currently sufficient, it can also accommodate these people temporarily.
But they can't always be here.
So after signing the agreement with the franchisee, he started busy looking for a new office space.
On this day, Huang Xu braved the heavy snow and followed the agency to an office building.
After a brief visit, he immediately fell in love with this place.
Because the original company here went bankrupt in less than a year after the decoration was completed due to a broken capital chain.
Therefore, the decoration and furniture here are still relatively new. If he moves his company in, he only needs to clean it briefly and buy some office supplies, and it can be used directly.
The only problem is that the area here is a bit large, more than a thousand square meters, which is a bit luxurious for them now.
So he turned around and said to the agent behind him:
"Everything else here is good, but the area is a bit big. If I rent it myself, the space would be too big. If the landlord can sublet it, I will consider it here."
"Mr. Huang, if you want to sublet here, the landlord may not be willing. As you know, the landlord doesn't want to be too troublesome, so we can only rent it out as a whole."
"The area is too big. If it cannot be sublet, then it will not be considered here."
Although this place is very suitable, and he only needs to clean it up briefly and change the company culture wall to move in, but this area is too big and he can't use it all.
Seeing that Huang Xu was so determined, the agent quickly said:
"Mr. Huang, please don't worry. Let's communicate with the owner and see what he wants. However, if you want to encounter such a well-decorated and fully furnished house, it's not easy to encounter it.
However, I still have a few venues on hand. If you are very concerned about the area, I will take you to look around. The area there may be more in line with your requirements. ”
"Okay, me."
Just as Huang Xu was about to check out the next place with the agency, he heard his cell phone ringing, so he turned around and walked away from the agency before answering the phone.
It wasn't his fault for being so cautious, but because it was Sunny who called, and he was worried about any negative impact he would have after answering the phone.
After all, SNSD's fame is too high in Korea, and he is afraid that it will affect them because of him.
But as soon as he answered the phone, before he said anything, he heard Sunny on the other end of the phone, excitedly saying to himself:
"Huang Xu, it's snowing outside, let's go out for a drink tonight."
Today’s first chapter, another chapter will be out around one o’clock.
