Chapter 284 The shock of hundreds of billions of won

Chapter 284 The shock of hundreds of billions of won

"Of course I remember. I didn't have time at the time, so Brother Zhong Guo went with you."

"I heard from Brother Zhong Guo that you were determined to join that pickled fish on the day it opened."

"How is the situation now?"

After Chi Shizhen's reminder, Ha Dongxun also remembered the incident half a month ago, and then began to care about the progress of this matter.

After Ji Seokjin saw that Ha Dongxun had remembered it, he didn't mean to blame him, and then happily shared his happiness with him.

"You can tell when you see how happy I am. The progress now must be very good."

"And to be honest, I'm very glad now that I acted impulsively and agreed to join Huang Xu on the day he opened, signed the contract and paid the money."

"Otherwise, if I join now, it won't be so easy."

"Oh, what do you say?"

He Dongxun's curiosity was also completely aroused at this time.

Now he can't believe what Chi Shizhen said. Could it be that there are people who are willing to join and give money to the franchise company, and there will be others who refuse to accept it?

And the most important thing is that he is also making preliminary preparations for joining, and is quite sensitive to various matters related to joining.

Since his barbecue restaurant was transformed into a music restaurant and bar under Huang Xu's guidance half a year ago, business has become extremely popular.

Now even if he and Kim Jong Kook don't appear and don't ask those celebrity artists to perform, the prime time period in the evening will still be overcrowded.

Even on weekends, there are queues at the door.

Compared with him half a year ago, this can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Naturally, this kind of business has also attracted the attention of many interested people. They have been looking for him for a while, testing his tone, and want to join his music restaurant.

Although he wanted to agree immediately, this store did not belong to him, but also to the two shareholders, Jin Jongguo and Huang Xu.

Especially the shareholder Huang Xu, although he only holds 10% of the shares, as the creative provider of the music restaurant and bar, Kim Jong Kook respects his opinion very much.

So I insisted that I wait until Huang Xu comes back and they meet and talk before they can start joining.

This gave He Dongxun some ideas.

It's true that Huang Xu came up with the idea of ​​this music restaurant, but it was himself and Kim Jong Kook who actually paid for it, and it was him and Park Gensik who had been running it.

And what about Huang Xu?

Except for a visit when it first opened and a visit later to entertain friends, he basically never showed up or cared about the place.

Now someone is sending money to his door, and he still needs to wait for his consent before he can accept it. This makes He Dongxun a little confused.

But with Kim Jong Kook here, he couldn't say anything, so he could only wait patiently.

So when he heard Chi Shizhen talk about franchising, he became interested and wanted to hear what Huang Xu's franchise chain was like.

Will they really push out the money delivered to their doorsteps?

Facing Ha Dongxun's doubts, Ji Seokjin explained with a smile.

"Because their joining is so popular."

"Do you know how many customers have been interested in joining us over this period of time?"

"How many?"

He Dongxun recalled in his mind some of the data he had mentioned when he had dinner with Huang Xu last time.

"Last time, his Malatang restaurants ended up being more than 100 and less than 200."

"And the last Malatang was a big deal. Not only did many ordinary people come to check in, but many celebrities also followed suit."

"There are only about a hundred stores. I haven't seen any news about the pickled fish this time on the Internet. It should not be the same as last time."

"Hey, you are so wrong."

After Ji Seokjin heard the number He Dongxun guessed, he shook his head, and then looked at him with some contempt.

"Are you an insider in the restaurant industry? Don't you even know about their booming business?"

“It’s not that there are only over a hundred people who want to join their Malatang franchise, but they have only selected over a hundred people.”

"Later, they considered that there were too many followers and the market was close to saturation, so they stopped the franchise business."

"I am one of those people who want to join, but there is no place for them."

"Otherwise, the number of Malatang franchises alone will reach more than 300."

"Although this pickled fish has not caused a check-in trend on the Internet, it does not mean that there are fewer people who want to join them."

"When I went to the store this morning to see the decoration, I heard from the staff there that the number of customers who want to join them will soon reach a thousand."

"."

"Real or fake? A thousand families?"

When Ha Dongxun listened to the news told by Ji Seokjin, the expression on his face could no longer remain calm. He even opened his mouth without noticing.

No way, the news revealed by Chi Shizhen was really surprising.

What is the concept of thousands of potential franchise customers?

He is no longer a novice in the industry. Although he doesn't know the price of Huang Xu's pickled fish franchise this time, he is very clear about the spicy hotpot last time.

In addition to the franchise fee of up to 100 million won, each franchisee also needs to pay a considerable brand usage fee every year.

In addition, many condiments and accessories need to be purchased from the company.

Therefore, Huang Xu can earn more than 100 million in net income for each additional franchise store, and in the future, as long as his store is still open, it will create a considerable profit for Huang Xu every year.

It is precisely because he knows this that he is so enthusiastic about those who seek to join him.

But now he heard Chi Shizhen say that there were already thousands of customers who wanted to join Pickled Fish, which made it difficult for him to accept it.

After all, if this news is true, then even if there are no long-term benefits later, it means that Huang Xu can earn more than 100 billion won in one fell swoop.

This is more than 100 billion won.

As a star artist, he also has a music restaurant and bar as a side business, and his income is already very exaggerated compared to ordinary people.

But there is still a huge gap between it and hundreds of billions.

Even he couldn't imagine what it would be like if he had 100 billion won.

So in the subsequent exchanges, he seemed a little absent-minded, basically relying on instinct to chat with Ji Shizhen.

Fortunately, other eliminated members also came here one after another, and Chi Shizhen didn't chat much with him anymore.

But even so, he was a little confused during the subsequent recording.

Even after the show ended, Yoo Jae Suk, the main MC of the show, gave him a special nod.

"Haha, if you are too tired, take a good rest and adjust. Don't affect the recording of the show."

Hearing Liu Zaishi's criticism, Ha Dongxun woke up from the shock.

Later, after making a promise with Yoo Jae Suk, he met Kim Jong Kook who was waiting for him in the parking lot.

"What? Are you being criticized?"

"Well, Brother Zaishi said a few words."

Seeing that Kim Jong Kook cared about him, Ha Dongxun had no intention of hiding it and directly told him about the criticism he had received.

After Kim Jong-guo heard this, he lightly patted Ha Dong-xun on the shoulder and said:

"Don't worry about Brother Zai Shi. As the main MC, he is responsible for the program, so you"

"I understand, brother." He Dongxun was not a ungrateful person, and he did not have any bad emotions.

When Jin Zhongguo saw this, he nodded with satisfaction, and then asked He Dongxun.

"By the way, what happened to you just now? You were completely out of shape, and your reaction was even half a beat too slow?"

"Are you too tired during this period?"

"No, it's not because I'm too tired."

"Oh, what is that?"

Jin Zhongguo also became curious at this time. He had just seen He Dongxun's performance and really thought that he was tired.

But now he denied it, which made him a little curious.

However, Ha Dongxun did not answer the question immediately. Instead, he looked around and extended an invitation to Kim Jong Kook.

"Let's go and talk in the car."

"Okay."

Looking at the worried Ha Dongxun, Kim Jong Kook naturally would not object.

Then Ha Dongxun and Kim Jong Kook got into his car and asked his manager to wait nearby for a while.

After seeing that there was no one in the car, Kim Jong Kook looked at Ha Dongxun with concern.

"What's wrong haha, are you worried?"

"Yes, a little bit."

Seeing that he and Kim Jong-kook were the only ones left in the car, Ha Dong-xun naturally let down his guard, and then asked Kim Jong-kook with some frustration:

"Brother Zhong Guo, do you know how much money Huang Xu's franchise store can earn this time?"

"How much can he earn this time?"

Jin Zhongguo looked at He Dongxun in surprise, obviously not expecting that the other party would ask such a question.

However, although he was curious about why He Dongxun asked this, he still cooperated and made his own guess.

"The business of his franchise store this time seems not as good as last time. The Malatang last time was very popular on the Internet. It seems that there is no news this time, so he probably won't earn too much this time. ”

"Not too much?"

He Dongxun also sighed softly after hearing Jin Jongguo's guess, and then excitedly told the news he just heard.

"This time he may earn hundreds of billions of won."

"How much? Hundreds of billions?"

After Jin Jongguo heard the news, his eyes, which were usually almost squinted, opened wide this time.

He was obviously shocked by the news, and then looked at Ha Dongxun in disbelief.

"Are you sure he can earn hundreds of billions?"

"Well, these are the news that Brother Shi Zhen just revealed to me."

Seeing Jin Jongguo's shocked look, Ha Dongxun felt a little more balanced, and then began to talk about the conversation he had just had with Ji Seokjin.

After listening to He Dongxun's words, Jin Jongguo slowly calmed down and waited for him to finish speaking before speaking calmly.

"Haha, things are not as simple as you think."

"It's impossible for him to open thousands of stores at once. The market is so big. It's definitely not feasible to open thousands of stores at once."

"Really?"

"Are you sure?"

"Okay, but even so, his franchise store is making too much money."

After hearing Kim Jong-guo's analysis, Ha Dong-hoon slowly calmed down, but then his passion ignited again.

"Brother Zhong Guo, how much money can you make by joining our music restaurant and bar franchise?"

"I don't know, but just ask professionals."

"Professionals, who are they?"

"Who else could it be, of course Huang Xu."

Jin Jongguo looked at Ha Dongxun who had not yet reacted, and shook his head helplessly.

"Among the people we know now, besides him, is there anyone who knows more about this aspect?"

"No, but is he back?"

"I'm back, don't worry."

Kim Jong-kook took out his phone, checked his itinerary, and then asked Ha Dong-hoon.

"Are you free tomorrow morning? If you are free, let's go meet him together."

"I'm free, but brother Zhong Guo, how do you know he's back?"

"Because he asked me to work out together, so."

. . . . . . .

"So you two came here early in the morning just to ask me if I can make money by joining the Pickled Fish franchise?"

Huang Xu looked speechlessly at the two people who appeared in front of him early in the morning, and then poured them a cup of tea respectively.

Early this morning, after he separated from Sunny, he came to the company to handle things.

As a result, before I was busy for a while, I saw Kim Jong-kook and Ha Dong-hoon who were visiting. And just after they met, Ha Dong-hoon asked such a private question.

Yes, the company's income issues can be said to be quite confidential information of the company. Generally speaking, it will not be disclosed to outsiders.

Even many employees within the company didn't know much about the company's income. As a result, the two of them had just met and asked so privately, which was obviously inappropriate.

Jin Zhongguo naturally felt Huang Xu's displeasure, and then quickly explained.

"Haha, I didn't mean to inquire about your company's confidential information. I just wanted to ask if you can make money by joining."

“Aren’t there many people who want to join our music restaurant and bar?”

"He doesn't have much confidence now, so he wants to ask you, a professional, to see if he can make money by joining."

"Also, I want to ask you for advice on how to organize a franchise and what things are needed."

"What about joining the music restaurant bar?"

Huang Xu pondered for a moment, and then said to the two of them.

"You will definitely make money by joining, but how much you can earn requires detailed analysis of the specific situation."

"A music restaurant like yours, as long as it is done, it will definitely be"

"It's not the two of us, it's a music restaurant for the three of us."

Jin Zhongguo heard half of it and heard Huang Xu talking about their music restaurant, so he quickly corrected Huang Xu's statement.

Huang Xu may not care much about this share now, but the two of them still need to make it clear.

After Huang Xu heard what Jin Zhongguo said, he realized that he seemed to have a stake in it, and then said quickly.

"Yes, there are still my shares in it!"
