Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 314 If you can't do it, let's find a partner!

Sometimes employees are too efficient is also an annoyance.

For example, the day before Xu An wanted to watch live video conversion data, Tang Wen sorted it out and reported it early in the morning; Xu An just passed Lu Shengnan's request to open a branch, and now Xu An is on his way to Huiyuan Shopping Mall.

In fact, the addresses of the two branch stores in the townships have already been selected, but Xu An entrusted the full authority of these two stores to Lu Shengnan, and only the store in the shopping mall needs to visit in person.

There are two reasons. One of the reasons is that the store in Huiyuan Shopping Center is not only a store selling Xu's braised meat, but also serves as a transfer station for Xu's fast food box lunches.

Yes, this is the fourth transfer station outside the three transfer stations of Haishi Library, Red Brick Creative Park and Yinxing Building Office Building. That is to say, the business scope of Xu's Fast Food has expanded again.

The location of the store is not in the Huiyuan shopping mall, but on the snack street where the mall takes out.

At noon, even during working hours, there are many people who come to the snack street to wander around. Most of the shops along the way are full of people. Many pedestrians hold a glass of drink in their hands and carry all kinds of snack.
"The flow of people on this street is quite high!" Xu An sighed as he looked at the endless stream of pedestrians.

"Huiyuan shopping mall is backed by three communities, surrounded by two office buildings and a creative park, three elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school and university. 3000 people."

Lu Shengnan reported a series of data very professionally, and also thoughtfully attached the data forecast after the store opened.

".According to the model analysis, after the store is completed and opened, it can sell [-] catties of lo mei and [-] boxed meals a day, and the three-day profit can cover the entire store's rent, water, electricity, and labor expenses."

While talking, the two came to the target location of the store. The total width of the store was [-] meters. There was a brand-new signboard above the store door, and the words 'QQ milk tea' were written on the signboard. A milk tea shop that soon closed down.

The intermediary waiting at the door saw Xu An and the two coming, and immediately took out the key and opened the store door to invite the two to go in for a visit.

The agent wanted to introduce the store to the two of them again, but was stopped by Lu Shengnan as soon as he opened his mouth, and then he stopped disturbing very winkingly, and stood outside the store waiting for the two to finish their visit and discuss signing matters.

Although the width of the store is not wide, it is eight meters long. There is a back door behind the store. When you open the door, you can see the main road outside. The triangle position happens to be able to stop a small truck, whether it is It is very convenient to carry lo-mei or box lunch.

Seeing the satisfied expression on Xu An's face, Lu Shengnan told the rent of the house, the calculation model of water and electricity, and the estimated renovation cost, etc., and the total was 6 yuan, which was 6000 yuan more than previously estimated.

"Yes, I will leave it to you to arrange the decoration, recruitment and publicity of these three stores." Xu An didn't have any opinion on this, and nodded in agreement.

Before the visit, Lu Shengnan told the agency in advance to prepare relevant materials, and with Xu An's consent, the lease contracts of the three stores were signed together.

Checking the store location of the branch is not the main purpose of going out today. The main purpose of going out today is to meet with nutritionist Li Jinyuan!
Yes, it was Li Jinyuan, the nutritional dietitian discussed by the people at the table behind him when he visited the factory of Xinyang Commercial Kitchen Technology Co., Ltd.

Although Xu An didn't know this person, the law of six never went wrong. Two strangers could be connected through six people.

When Xu An passed the information that he wanted to find Li Jinyuan to Lu Shengnan, Lu Shengnan consulted a friend in the food industry. This friend found a colleague, the colleague found his friend, and this friend found another person. With six people, Xu An's commission was conveyed to Li Jinyuan's ears, and the two established a relationship.

When he arrived at the hotel box, there were still four to ten minutes before the meeting, Lu Shengnan opened the notebook he was carrying with him, and reported the progress of other work to Xu An by the way.

". The 21 prefecture-level cities can be connected into four different lines. The longest line takes eighteen hours to transport, and the shortest line takes six hours. Long-distance transport must rely on cold chain transport vehicles, supplemented by Vacuum packaging can guarantee the taste and quality of lo mei.”

".These are the collected information and quotations of relevant cold chain transport vehicles. The rated load of a 4.2-meter-long refrigerated truck is five tons, and the price is 11. The purchase of four cold chain refrigerated trucks, plus various handling fees, requires a total of 21 funds.”

".Because the cost of building a fleet is relatively high, you can also consider finding a relevant transportation company to cooperate. The transportation fee for one ton of goods for 200 kilometers is 6000 yuan, and the total transportation fee for twenty prefecture-level cities is [-] yuan a day."

6000 yuan a day. It is enough to buy a cold chain transport vehicle in half a month.
Although he knows that as the transportation volume in the same place increases, the transportation cost will also decrease, but Xu An wants more cold chain transport vehicles belonging to his store.

When looking at the information on cold chain transport vehicles compiled by Lu Shengnan, the rows of unidentifiable trucks parked in the open space of a modern factory converted from an abandoned paper mill became clear in an instant. look like.
What's going on these days?

Ever since Aunt Hong said that someone was hiding in the abandoned paper mill and doing bad things, no matter what she did, she couldn’t help but think of the scene after she leased the paper mill. It’s okay to dream about it when I’m sleeping, but now I’m listening to the work report also think of
Shaking his head slightly, he focused on the plan reported by Lu Shengnan.

Indeed, if you want to develop outward, transportation and preservation occupy an important position; in the food industry with limited shelf life and temperature requirements, how to transport is even more important.

However, Xu An's initial budget for the cold chain transport vehicle was 30 yuan, and now it exceeds a full 20 yuan!Why do I feel that the planned 300 million loan is not enough?

How about talking to Hannan Financing Guarantee Company?

Pat--pat--pat--

Just when Xu An was thinking about whether to ask a financing guarantee company to help him with a large loan, suddenly there was a sound of "click" walking outside the box, from far to near, it seemed to be walking towards the box he was in.

Walking outside the door was the main target of Xu An's field trip today, the nutritional dietitian, Li Jinyuan, and his little assistant.

"Brother Li, didn't you say last time that you would no longer cooperate with the company that makes snacks? Why did you agree to the invitation of Xu's Catering? I checked, and their Xu's braised meat is a product that is biased towards snacks. .”

"Since you have checked, have you found out that there is another Xu's fast food under the name of Xu's Catering?"

"I found it, but the price of that box of rice is only [-] yuan a box. There is no need for any nutritional combination at this price!"

"Whether it's necessary or not, don't you know what the boss says?"

The moment the voice fell, the two walked to Box 203 under the leadership of the waiter. As the door of the box opened, Li Jinyuan saw a man and a woman sitting in the box, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. You don't look very old, could it be that the owner of Xu's Catering hasn't come yet?
Thinking of this possibility, the smile on Li Jinyuan's face weakened by three points. It seems that today is just like what the assistant said, and the trip was for nothing.

Li Jinyuan saw Xu An and Xu An at the same time, Xu An also saw Li Jinyuan and Li Jinyuan, and immediately greeted them with a smile, and greeted warmly: "I think you are Li Jinyuan, Teacher Li. I have admired your name for a long time. Please come here, please." !"

After Li Jinyuan was seated, Xu An picked up a menu and handed it to Li Jinyuan. When he was about to ask him to order, Li Jinyuan spoke first.

"May I ask when will the boss of your company arrive?" Li Jinyuan glanced at his watch and said embarrassedly: "There is an invitation at four o'clock in a while, and the time is a bit rushed."

cough cough——

Xu An and Lu Shengnan coughed dryly at the same time, and after looking at each other, Lu Shengnan finally came out to smooth things over.

"Ms. Li, I'm really sorry. I'm so happy to see you. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Lu Shengnan, the general manager of Xu's Catering." After directing his gaze to Xu An, he spoke again: "This is Xu An, the owner of Xu's Catering."

When the little assistant was still in a daze, Li Jinyuan had already reacted, and quickly answered: "It turns out that I don't know Mount Tai. Boss Xu and Mr. Lu are sitting here, and I can't recognize them. I punish myself." One cup! Punish yourself with one cup!"

"Ms. Li, we are all young people, and we don't like this kind of thing on the wine table." Xu An quickly got up and stopped Li Jinyuan from pouring wine.

Just kidding, I slept in the rocking chair last night because of drinking, and now my back is sore and my back hurts. Xu An really doesn't want to try it a second time.

Seeing that Xu An was sincerely trying to stop him instead of saying anything, Li Jinyuan put down his wine glass along the slope, and said with a smile: "I came to this hotel once when it opened, and I was invited to help them formulate a set menu. , both of you are young people, and the weather is hot and dry now, I recommend you to try this set meal that nourishes the lungs and relieves the internal heat.”

Li Jinyuan wanted to break the embarrassment before introducing the menu to the two of them, but as he spoke, he started to introduce one dish after another. He didn't react until the assistant at the side pulled his arm hard.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I committed an occupational disease when I saw the menu"

"It's okay, it's okay, it sounds very interesting. I didn't expect such a small dish to contain so many details! Let's just find the right person!"

After Xu An took the conversation and praised Li Jinyuan, he casually talked about the purpose of inviting him here today.

"Mr. Li, the main purpose of inviting you here this time is to make a suitable menu for the Xu restaurant under my name."

"Oh, I don't know what direction you want to modify the menu, Boss Xu?" Li Jinyuan said seriously after hearing the words: "Do you want balanced nutrition or do you have any special requirements?"

"I took over a job here to provide lunch for middle-aged and elderly people. Before Xu's restaurant, the meals were all heavy oil and heavy salt. It is not suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Now I would like to invite Mr. Li according to your order. According to the characteristics of different age groups, adjust the appropriate menu”

Xu An seemed to feel that what he said was not clear enough, and gave an example: "For example, what kind of diet is suitable for kindergarten children, what kind of diet is suitable for elementary and junior high school children, and high school, adult and middle-aged children. People and the elderly, etc., should make targeted dietary adjustments.”

"Yeah." Li Jinyuan wanted to answer immediately, but when he thought of the price of the boxed lunch that the assistant said before entering the door, he hesitated and asked, "Are there any requirements for the price?"

"In terms of price, we have listed all the commonly used ingredients here. Mr. Li, can you see if you can make adjustments based on these existing ingredients?" Xu An's voice fell, and Lu Shengnan picked it up from his briefcase. He took out a document and handed it to Li Jinyuan.

"Let me consider."

After all, Li Jinyuan took the document and looked down, writing and drawing on the table with his fingers, still muttering something, the little assistant at the side took out a pen and paper and handed it to Li Jinyuan in a timely manner.

After looking at all the ingredients, Li Jinyuan's face became more and more weird.

Calculated according to the list of ingredients provided by Xu's Catering, each boxed meal costs five or six yuan for the ingredients alone, and after deducting the artificial, water, electricity, rent and other expenses, wouldn't it be possible to earn only a few cents for a boxed meal? Yes, is it possible that Boss Xu opened the shop for charity?

Or, these ingredients on the list are all
This made Li Jinyuan think of the shameless practice of a food factory before. He asked himself to adjust the formula and finally failed to use it. During the publicity, he shouted loudly in his own name. Due to the terms of the contract, he could not jump out and tell everyone. , this food factory did not adopt its own formula at all.

Is it possible that Xu's Catering also has this idea?Using your own name to bluff?

cough cough——

Li Jinyuan's mind turned quickly, and finally thought of a suitable reason, coughed twice and said: "If you make a menu according to the ingredients on this list, it's not a big problem, but I want to go to the store to see the specific situation. I don't know if it's convenient?"

"Yeah..." Xu An turned on the phone screen and glanced at the time: "Xu's fast food restaurant closed at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it's already [-]:[-], and the store has packed up both the ingredients and the equipment. And Mr. Li You have something to do at four o'clock in a while, and it will take at least half an hour's drive from here."

Listening to Xu An's series of "crazy" reasons, Li Jinyuan became more sure that Xu An was trying to use his name to deceive him. Just when he was looking for a reason to get out, Lu Shengnan handed a tablet to Li Jinyuan in front of you.

"Ms. Li, this is our store's food ordering website. The daily purchasing, cleaning, handling, cooking and packaging processes are recorded and uploaded to the website after post-editing."

Lu Shengnan tapped his finger on the video marking the date of 'October NO.11', the video automatically enlarged to occupy the entire screen and began to play.

Although the recording time may reach three or four hours, after post-editing, the length of the video uploaded to the website is about 5 minutes, so one video will be played quickly, and the next video will be played automatically.
Li Jinyuan clicked on several videos at random. After seeing that the ingredients in most of the videos were not the same, he finally relaxed and said with a smile: "Boss Xu, I don't know that besides formulating appropriate meals according to age groups, , are there any other requirements, such as whether the ingredients should be changed according to the seasons?"

Hearing Li Jinyuan's words, Xu An knew that the cooperation was stable.

Afterwards, the two exchanged about what to make the menu for for nearly half an hour, and finally reached a preliminary intention.

Lu Shengnan was on the sidelines adding or subtracting the terms of the contract according to the chat content of the two. When the two of them finished talking, a brand new contract was drawn up.

Among them, Xu's Catering currently has the most urgent meal menu for middle-aged and elderly people in autumn, and it is agreed that it will be given before November 15th, that is, next Monday. It happens to be possible to arrange this dish to be put on the market for trial starting from next Monday.

"The application report for the road from the town to Hezibao meets the construction standards. It has been submitted and queued up for construction!"

"When will it be scheduled?"

"This is uncertain. If it is fast, it may be approved after the new year. If it is slow, it may not be until the end of next year, or even the year after the next year." The leader of the Hongshan City Poverty Alleviation Office glanced at Li Sixin, and then Said: "After all, some road repair applications from last year have not been approved yet, and they are still queuing up. I can't tell, I really can't tell."

"It's going to take so long!" Li Sixin sighed, and began to sell miserably.

"The business of Xu's Catering is getting better and better, and the scope of acquisitions has spread from Hezibao to the surrounding villages, and more and more orders are being sent every day. Originally, the truck would run once every two days, but now it takes one day. Just go for a run."

".But you also know the road conditions from Hezibao to the city. Those truck masters are not willing to run. They have to ask three times and five times every time. They are only willing to make a trip because of the price increase and the gift of cigarettes and alcohol."

".This is already a big problem, but the bigger problem is that those agricultural products are tightly packaged and airtight! They are easy to break after being stored for a long time! You said that if they are delivered to consumers, they will all be broken. Isn't that true? It’s just a matter of ruining the business, and even the reputation of Hongshan Town has been ruined.”

"."

What he said to Li Sixin was so high-sounding and majestic that no one could find anything to refute.

"You, you, your mouth is still so powerful!"

At the end, the leader of the Poverty Alleviation Office showed a helpless smile, pointed at Li Sixin with his fingers in the void, and said with a wry smile.

"How come I don't know what you said, but ah, there is a distance of nearly 1 kilometers from the town to Hezibao. If one kilometer of road costs 200 yuan, this is 300 million yuan! Not to mention that there are so many mountains on this road, if you dig and level them one by one, there is no one that cannot be beaten by [-] million!"

"It can be repaired for a period of time. If it is not possible, it can be repaired at Shitouzhuang first." Li Sixin began to bargain without discouragement.

"Hi!" The leader of the Poverty Alleviation Office slapped the air with his right hand, interrupted the second half of Li Sixin's sentence, and said in a low voice: "As long as Xu's catering can continue to operate stably, wait until your greenhouse is built. , the devil peppers have started to be harvested, and road construction is no problem!"

"Speaking of Xu's catering, I have an unfeeling request from here." Li Sixin accepted it as soon as he saw it, and opened up a new topic: "Last time on the Internet, because Xu's catering was not officially recognized by the public, I proclaimed myself as [charitable enterprise] ] There is a lot of trouble here, I just want to apply to let Xu's Catering implement this title, do you think it is feasible?"

The leader of the Poverty Alleviation Office guessed what Li Sixin was going to say, but still asked cautiously: "How to implement the law?"

"How about giving Mr. Xu the title of [Honorary Village Director] from Hezibao?" Li Sixin said slyly: "This not only recognizes the good deeds of Xu's Catering, but also makes Mr. Xu pay more attention to Hezibao. A trace of fetters kills two birds with one stone!"

"It doesn't matter what we say about it, you need the consent of the people in your village." The leader of the Poverty Alleviation Office said leisurely.

Li Sixing stared at the news and said angrily: "Who in our village did not accept the favor of Boss Xu to exchange this year's harvest for real gold and silver early. If anyone disagrees, he will be a white-eyed wolf who eats inside and outside. We Hezibao doesn't recognize this person!"

"Don't tell me these things. I only recognize the documents and only the signatures." The leader of the Poverty Alleviation Office waved his hand and said, "Come here with the letter of consent signed by all the villagers in Hezibao, and I will pass it to you right away!"

"Okay, then I'll come back in two days."

"."

After the main matters were dealt with, the two chatted about the recent actions of Xu's catering and the changes in Hezibao. After Li Sixin left the Honghe City Poverty Alleviation Office, he found the Nadutong express company that cooperated with Hezibao for delivery.

"Secretary Li, why are you free to come here today!" The boss of Nadutong Express greeted Li Sixin with a smile all over his face, and after beckoning Li Sixin to sit down, he prepared some tea for him.

The Nadutong Express Branch in Honghe City has been at the bottom of the list almost every year. If it is not for the completion of the company's layout, this express point that barely maintains a balance of revenue and expenditure will definitely be removed.

But this year, the express delivery point has ushered in a big turning point. Hezibao has cooperated with Xu's Catering!
From the Hezibao side alone, nearly one or two thousand couriers can be delivered in a day!Recently, three to four thousand express deliveries can be delivered a day, and the turnover has been rising steadily. In just half a month, the ranking has jumped up several places, and jumped out of the bottom five. The boss saw Li Sixin naturally. Very happy.

"Boss, don't be so busy. I'm just here to chat with you about the cooperation. I'll go back after the chat. There are a lot of things waiting for me in the village!" Intention: "Boss, the courier we send from you in Hezibao is about three to five thousand a day, right?"

"Yes, yes, thanks to Secretary Li for your help with the business, otherwise my courier store would have closed down a long time ago!" The courier owner quickly took up the conversation, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He always felt that Li Sixin's visit this time was nothing good.

"We have been cooperating for almost half a month. The cooperation for half a month has been very pleasant. I just want to discuss something with you. Can you arrange a courier point for us in Hezibao?"

"What? Set up a courier point in your village, that's okay, no, no, no," the courier boss immediately waved his hands and refused again and again.

"Listen to me first! Xu's Catering will build two factories in Hezibao next, one is to purchase agricultural products, and the other is to make lo mei for online sales. In the future, there will only be more orders, not less! If you go there early, it can be regarded as a good relationship with Xu's Catering in advance, won't all the orders be yours in the future?"

After the lure was over, Li Sixin began to threaten.

"There is not only one express company like you in Honghe City. There are seven or eight companies like Yuantong, Zhongtong, Shentong, and SF Express. They are very greedy for orders from Hezibao. If you are not happy, I will find them Let's chat!"

After all, Li Sixin pretended to get up and leave, and the courier boss hurriedly pushed him back to his seat in fright.

"Secretary Li, don't worry. I don't disagree. It's not a trivial matter to go to Hezibao to set up an express station. I have to report to the higher authorities and get permission, right?"

"Then how long will it take for your report to have a result?" Li Sixin sat down and continued to apply pressure: "I don't want to wait too long here!"

"Soon, soon!" The courier boss gritted his teeth and gave the exact time: "Three days, you give me three days! Will you?"

"Okay, then wait for you for three days. If there is no letter after three days, I will talk to other courier companies."

"There will definitely be news in three days"

"Auntie, didn't you say that this house is rented out? Why did you come here to move things suddenly? This is already rented out?"

"That's right, the agent just told me that the big girl who came over in the morning has taken a fancy to this store and has already signed a contract. Let me clear things up, and the store will be renovated tomorrow!"

"Hey, this speed is really fast. Auntie, do you know what kind of shop that big girl plans to open?"

"What shop, it seems to be a lo mei shop?"

"Lo mei shop, that's okay." The owner of the shop next door heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked gossipingly, "The girl looks thin and has a good-looking appearance. She doesn't seem like she can do this job, auntie." Is your news reliable?"

"Is the big girl the boss? She just runs errands. I heard that the boss behind the little girl has opened several stores, and the business is pretty good!"

"It's good to open a restaurant, and we can change the taste occasionally. I don't know if the lo mei is good or not, and the price is not expensive."

"I don't know the price, but the taste is pretty good."

"Hey, auntie, if you say it's good, you can't be wrong!" After a compliment from the shop next door, he asked, "Did auntie go to the shop to eat? Is the shop big? How is the decoration?"

"It's not food in the store. A few days ago, a relative in my city bought a new house and wanted to move in. Please let's go over and have a good time. The relative went to this braised meat shop to buy braised vegetables and came back as cold dishes. Yes, it's delicious"

"Auntie, what you said made me drool. When this store opens, no matter what the price is, I have to try it!"

"Then you have to try it, it's really delicious! If the price is not expensive, I'll come here to buy some stewed vegetables this year for Chinese New Year. It's delicious and convenient. The most important thing is that I can cook two less dishes and work harder."

"Auntie, your idea is really good, come on, let me help you"
