Chapter 300 Follow Shang Chao

"Affected by this round of Siberian cold current, it is expected that most parts of our province will experience strong winds and cooling weather this weekend. The temperature drop in some areas can reach 8 to 10 degrees, and there are heavy snowstorms..."

In the black Santana sedan, Lu Dong drove the car, and the radio broadcast the latest weather forecast, and the theme was still repeated countless times every winter—the Siberian cold current came again.

Arriving at the Innovation Port of the Provincial University, the car was directly driven into the underground parking lot and put away, and Lu Dong took the elevator to the eighth floor.

As soon as he entered the door, Xue Tian at the front desk greeted him with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Lu."

Lu Dong was dressed in black and looked more mature. He nodded immediately: "Xiao Xue, good morning."

Although the company has recruited some people, the office space of more than 300 square meters is still very empty.

Entering the office, Xiao Xue immediately brought a cup of hot tea. Currently, the company has limited manpower. Apart from the front desk, Xue Tian also works in other companies.

There is a central air conditioner in Innovation Port, but it is not turned on. A cup of hot tea in the morning warms up hands and body.

"Thank you." Lu Dong said politely, and confessed: "The meeting will officially start at nine o'clock, you clean up the meeting room."

Xue Tian hurriedly said: "Boss Lu, I've packed it up."

Lu Dong nodded slightly: "Okay."

Xue Tian left the office, and Lu Dong packed up the materials prepared in the past two days, which will be used in the meeting later.

Qiao Weiguo came in from the company entrance, just like last winter, with no hat on his bald head.

As the working hours approached, the employees of the company arrived one after another. The heads of departments such as Qian Feng, Xu Man, Qiao Weiguo, and Su Xiaoshan were all making corresponding preparations for the meeting.

Xue Tian went around the meeting room again to make sure there was no problem. He just returned to the front desk when he saw someone coming from the corridor opposite the door.

Song Na entered the door, smiled at Xue Tian who greeted her, and went directly to the meeting room.

Xue Tian watched Song Na turn into the conference room with envy.

A gray woolen jacket, a black turtleneck sweater, dark blue leggings, half-height leather boots, and a neat bob. It seems very ordinary, but it has a very outstanding temperament.

It is undeniable that the skin is a bit darker, but she looks beautiful and has a good figure...

Xue Tian also knew that this was a veritable little rich woman who came out to do business and start a business right after she was in college, not counting the investment in Lu's Catering, plus this recently opened, she has four restaurants of her own.

She heard Xu Man mention that his monthly income is more than ten thousand.

In addition, she is also a minority shareholder of Lu's Catering and the future proprietress.

It would be a lie to say that you are not envious. They are also those who graduated from rural areas to go to university, and people come from the mountains. Why is there such a big gap?

Just as I was thinking wildly, I saw two tall men coming over, one of them was a foreigner.

Du Xiaobing and Big Ivan also entered the meeting room.

Su Xiaoshan went over early and chatted with Qiao Weiguo.

Seeing Du Xiaobing arrived, Xu Man entered the meeting room with a pen and notebook. She would not mess around during the company's working hours, but went straight to the place where Du Xiaobing was sitting.

Lao Du used to practice basketball professionally, and he is tall and strong.

Xu Man is short and thin, standing taller than Du Xiaobing who is sitting.

But people always have dreams, just like men always have a goddess in their eyes, and women also have their own prince charming in their hearts.

Besides, this Prince Charming is really extraordinary.

Xu Man pulled out the chair and sat next to Du Xiaobing, without speaking.

Song Na glanced at the two of them, then turned her gaze away and whispered to Qian Feng that Qian Feng was also in charge of the finances of the Warm Warehouse for the time being.

Of course, she was paid for the work she did.

Lu Dong entered the conference room at this time, closed the door directly, came to sit down at the front of the long conference table, first boosted morale, and tried his best to speak Mandarin: "I have good news for everyone. This past weekend, Saturday and Sunday For two consecutive days, the single-day turnover of the company's catering stores has reached 200,000 yuan."

There was applause in the meeting room. At present, Lu's Catering has two stores in Qingzhao County, three stores in University City and three stores in Quannan Road Pedestrian Street, totaling eight stores.

The average daily turnover of a single store can reach 20,000 yuan, which is quite a remarkable achievement.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, even Big Ivan, a foreigner, laughed from ear to ear.

For the investment at the beginning of the year, it is estimated that the dividends in the first year will not only return the invested money, but even a lot more.

Such a deal should not be too cost-effective.

Big Ivan couldn't help but said: "Lu Dong, doing business with you is the most correct decision I've made."

Lu Dong was not polite to this human-shaped nuclear bomb, and said, "Ivan, you have to pay more attention to the company's formalities in the future."

As a shareholder himself, with a high enough return, Big Ivan responded immediately: "No problem, call me when you need me, and I'll be right there!"

Du Xiaobing said, "Lv Dong, I'm looking forward to the end of the year dividends to buy a car."

Lu Dong smiled: "The second good news is that in view of the company's development needs, I plan to buy a second car." He drives the first car to Quannan every day, and it is inconvenient to use the car here for anything: "Old Du , can you find your classmate and buy another Santana?"

Du Xiaobing knew that it was unrealistic for the company to buy a luxury car at this stage, so he replied, "It's up to me."

Lu Dong opened the folder and got to the point: "Everyone should know the content of today's meeting, mainly about the next step of the company's expansion. We were lucky. The first step into the Quannan market was a firm foothold. There is a foothold on the South Road Pedestrian Street, and we will definitely continue to open new stores after we have accumulated a little strength and stabilized our business, are you all satisfied with the current situation?"

Du Xiaobing saw the opening of Guangmei Electric, and said: "Our company must become the Guangmei Electric in the catering industry! We must not only develop in Qingzhao and Quannan, we must go out of Qingzhao to see the scenery outside. "

Song Na was the first to agree: "Old Du is right."

Qiao Weiguo sat solemnly and did not speak.

Big Ivan nodded frequently.

"I don't know if you have noticed that in Taidong Province, a province where the public economy occupies an absolute dominant position, private enterprises are ushering in unprecedented development opportunities." Since March and April this year, Lu Dong has been accompanied by Song Na under the supervision Reading books, taking notes, and going to provincial universities to attend classes. Although he is a scumbag, his learning energy is unprecedented. Not to mention other things, his theoretical level has somewhat improved.

He has something in his stomach, and he speaks confidently: "Our efforts are the key to the success of the company's business, but it has little to do with market competition. Malatang, looking at Qingzhaoquannan, there is no such thing as type of storefront competition; Burger King’s products, we are following the route of imitating KFC and McDonald’s, and our competitors are actually these two, but the market for Western-style fast food is bigger than imagined, let alone KFC and McDonald’s, even if we There are two multinational chain brands of the same type, and this market is still promising."

Everyone else has actually participated in the operation of Lu's Catering. After thinking about it, it is not difficult to find that what Lu Dong said is not wrong.

Lu Dong continued: "The only real competition is hot pot, and we focus on brand, hygiene, quality and service for hot pot, which is what most hot pot restaurants lack at this stage."

Big Ivan is a foodie with a remodeled stomach, and he said: "When I was teaching in the old campus of the province, I ate a lot of hot pot, and most of the restaurants were very greasy."

Lu Dong said: "So, we must seize this good opportunity and strive for the company's catering stores to blossom in all parts of Taidong Province in the next two to three years, and even go out of Taidong and enter neighboring provinces."

This big goal has been stated long ago and will not change.

After re-emphasizing the long-term planning goals for a period of time, Lu Dong talked about the short-term focus: "Our current work, one is to stabilize and continue to develop the operation of existing stores; the other is to prepare for the opening of new stores."

Song Na raised her hand and reminded: "Officer Zhao from the management committee informed me that they have reached an agreement with Ginza that Ginza will soon open a commercial building and supermarket in the university town. This is the first supermarket in the university town. I think For quite a long time, there will be a lot of traffic.”

Lu Dong said: "The market in the university town is far from being saturated, and universities are still expanding their enrollment. There is definite news that the number of enrollment expansion next summer will be much larger than this year, and more technical secondary schools will be merged into higher vocational schools in the future. Or after colleges and universities enter the university town, the total number of students in the university town will continue to rise within two years, the university town market is our basic market, and we must occupy this market if we can.”

He asked Song Na to help distribute the information he brought: "I have some relationship with Ginza. When the Ginza store in the University City is established, it will not be difficult for us to open a store in a short distance. In addition, Sennan Ginza is also expanding the market. According to my understanding, Ginza will build three stores in Yanshan, Bayi and Honglou in recent years, and we can choose the right type of stores according to the actual needs of the local market, and follow Ginza to open stores.”

From this point of view, Qian Rui's favor a few months ago was really great.

Zhang Mingyu, Qian Rui’s co-worker in Ginza, not only helped Lu’s food bagged products successfully enter the supermarket, but also Lu Dong took advantage of the opportunity of the other party’s desire to enter the university town, and introduced the cooperation between the management committee and Ginza. , to further narrow the relationship between the two parties.

With the coordination of such a high-level inside Ginza, Lu's restaurants can also follow in the footsteps of Ginza.

Lu Dong got up and went to the whiteboard at the front of the meeting room, and wrote Ginza on it!

Then, write RT-Mart.

Through Yu Zhanlong and Qiansheng Commercial Building, Lu Dong also had contact with RT-Mart.

"RT-Mart's first store is built in the core of Quannan, and we are neighbors." Lu Dong said in detail: "I have communicated with the person in charge of RT-Mart in Quannan. RT-Mart will soon build a Lixia store. On the west side of the old campus, there are dense residential areas in the west, and the old campuses of five or six universities that have not moved away in the east. Within a few kilometers, there are six middle schools and elementary schools, covering a very wide area."

"RT-Mart will also build new stores in the Shilihe area in the south and near the West Market in the west. This is also the focus of our next store opening."

Du Xiaobing answered, "Lv Dong and I went together to contact RT-Mart. My family has business dealings with RT-Mart. I will do the work here."

Lu Dong said: "Okay. Others, such as the train station area, promising commercial streets and business districts, newly opened college areas, and residential areas, are all areas that we need to focus on when we open a new store. Lao Du and I have already Hire people, do pre-market research.”
