Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 342 Talk to the agency guy

In order to give companies time to prepare, the results will not be announced until the last day, but will be announced three to five days in advance.

Therefore, today, five days before the end of the month, a new report document was released on Haishi's official website. This document reported in detail the residents' voting results for the 'Two-Year Lunch'.

【南苑小区，参与投票人数314人，丰收农场：52票、锦绣酒店：19票、徐氏餐饮：239票、无效投票：4票.徐氏餐饮获得了南苑小区‘二元午餐’供应权。】

[Nanshe area, 438 people participated in voting, Harvest Farm Fairview Hotel Xu’s Catering: 272 votes. Invalid vote Xu’s Catering won the supply right in Nanshe area. 】

[Dongmei Garden. 121 people. Harvest Farm 79 votes. Harvest Farm obtained the right to supply. 】

【.】

A total of 179 communities in Haishi participated in this voting event. The final result was that Xu's Catering won the supply rights for 110 communities, Harvest Farm won the supply rights for 43 communities, and Jinxiu Hotel only received [-] The right to supply a community.

Xu An is not interested in how many communities the other two companies have won. All he can think about now is the number '116'.

110 six communities, the cumulative number of orders is as high as [-]. This number is the total number of orders currently accumulated by Xu's Fast Food!

In other words, Xu's fast food has to double its production capacity to meet the meal demand of the 'two-yuan lunch'.

Fortunately, Xu An was prepared. After reading the official documents in detail, Xu An contacted Han Yuanpinghan, the manager of Xinyang Commercial Kitchen Technology Co., Ltd., and purchased eight automated cooking equipment in one go.

In addition to the purchase of equipment, the kitchen staff has also been expanded, and eight members of the Haishi Disabled Persons' Federation have been recruited to join Xu's Catering and become official employees of Xu's Catering.

Looking at the neat and shiny automated cooking equipment in the back kitchen, and then looking at the increasing number of chefs who are not proficient in cooking, no, they should be called 'equipment operators', Zhou Qi I felt depressed for no reason.

Zhou Qi's annoyance is not because of these devices or the members of the Disabled Persons' Federation, but because he feels that the skills he is proud of and relies on for survival are being despised and trampled on.
The kitchen work in group catering companies like Xu's Catering is already very boring. Now they have installed automated cooking equipment. As long as they can operate this equipment, ordinary people can change their jobs and become "chefs". Zhou Qi suddenly I discovered that my existence or not is no longer important to Xu's Catering.
A huge sense of loss enveloped his whole person, and he, who was cheerful by nature, became silent unknowingly, as silent as if there was no such person as him in the kitchen.

Such a huge change naturally could not escape Liu Daxi's eyes, but he attributed Zhou Qi's silence to the fact that there were too many Disabled Persons' Federation members in the kitchen, which brought a huge sense of depression to Zhou Qi, so he became silent.

"Master Zhou, let's go smoke a cigarette together?" Taking advantage of his free time at work, Liu Daxi took a box of cigarettes and a lighter and invited Zhou Qi to "smog together."

"what"

Zhou Qi subconsciously looked at the place where the sound came from, and his thoughts broke away from the silence. After he reacted, he was looking for a reason to refuse, but Liu Daxi had already stepped forward and took his arm.
Without hesitation, Zhou Qi and Liu Daxi came to a secret corner dedicated to smoking on Qianjie Road. It was a busy corner in the past, but at this moment, there were only two of them.

Click - hiss - whoosh -

A puff of white smoke came out of the nostrils of the two people and turned into two clouds floating in the air. Their faces were looming in the clouds.

"Master Zhou, tell me what's wrong. Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere or are there other reasons?" When enough clouds enveloped them, Liu Daxi finally spoke.

"There's nothing uncomfortable about it." Blocked by the clouds and mist, Zhou Qi said something against his will.

"No, with your devastated look, it's impossible!" Liu Daxi advised: "Let's talk about it, there are only two of us here, and only I know the conversation here, and I won't tell anyone else."

I don’t know if it’s because of Liu Daxi’s persuasion, or because the nicotine in cigarettes numbs the nerves, or because the weather today is very good and this corner is very relaxing.
When the cigarette was about to burn to his fingertips, Zhou Qi took a deep breath, then threw the butt of the cigarette to the ground. The tip of his shoe severely crushed the dots of red light, and after exhaling a long puff of smoke, Zhou Qi Finally spoke.

“I just feel a little uncomfortable.”

"Because of the new members of the Disabled Persons' Federation?"

"Yes and no." After Zhou Qi answered ambiguously, his eyes locked on Liu Daxi, trying to see the expression on his face clearly through the clouds, and asked pretending to be relaxed:

"Master Liu, do you have a sense of crisis? Automatic cooking equipment + ordinary people = we chefs who have worked hard for many years to learn cooking skills before getting a job. Isn't this a bit unfair?"

"It's indeed a bit unfair." Liu Daxi nodded slightly, sighed and then laughed: "But they are only 'chefs' when they use these equipment. Without these equipment, they are nothing. .But after we break away from these devices, we are still chefs, right?"

After another long silence, Liu Daxi spoke again: "Actually, for members of the Disabled Persons' Federation, this is an extremely rare position. As long as you can read and have no problem with your hands and feet, you can do the job. The boss doesn't I am strict, my colleagues are very friendly, the salary and remuneration are very good, and everyone is very happy.”

"Ha" Zhou Qi laughed, and finally swallowed the "so what" sentence that had reached his throat, took a new cigarette and lit it.

"At my age, I am only a few years away from retirement. I hope that the person who can take over my position in the future is someone who is as accepting and friendly to members of the Disabled Persons' Federation as you are. Apart from here, it is difficult for them to Never find a similar job again”

what.!

Zhou Qi suddenly raised his head to look at Liu Daxi, but there was too much smoke between the two of them, and he could only vaguely see the corners of Liu Daxi's mouth.

"Master Liu, what you said means that I want to force you into the palace?" Zhou Qi gently patted Liu Daxi's arm and said with a smile: "With your physique, Master Liu, you can work for another ten or eight years." There is nothing wrong with Nian, just abdicate and make way for someone more worthy."

Having said that, Zhou Qi finally revealed his true feelings.

"I have always had a dream in my heart to open a restaurant where all the dishes sold in the restaurant are dishes developed and cooked by myself. I like to see the happy expressions on the faces of the guests when they eat the dishes I carefully cooked.
When I open a restaurant, I will also recruit some members of the Disabled Persons' Federation, but I will look for those who are interested in cooking and have talent. I will not accept just any scrap. "

"You brat, you have so little ability and you still want to teach people. Don't teach people in the ravines. No, what did you just say? You are a rotten vegetable. You are disgusted by the boss. What do you mean, stinky chess basket, you are finished, hurry up and bribe me, or I will report this matter to the boss!"

"Aha, I didn't say anything, and you have no evidence to prove what I said. Hahahaha"

There was a hint of guilt in the laughter, and even though Liu Daxi didn't say anything, Zhou Qi felt that his mood had somehow improved.

When the new cigarette was about to be finished, Liu Daxi suddenly asked: "Master Zhou, I think my craftsmanship is quite good. After get off work, do you want to learn a few tricks from me?"

"Ah, Master Liu, are you planning to teach me the art of pressing the bottom of the box?" Zhou Qi pretended to be surprised. "What are you dreaming about in broad daylight?" Liu Daxi raised his hand and slapped Zhou Qi on the head, and said angrily: "I just want to correct your little cooking problems. You have been with me for so long. I learned nothing about the good things, but I learned a lot about the shortcomings.”

"Master Liu, you didn't teach me at that time. How can I avoid a lot of mistakes if I learn from you secretly?"

"It's all nonsense!"

The two of them laughed and stubbed out the cigarette butts in their hands, threw them on the ground, and walked in the direction of Xu's Catering one after another.

After leaving the fog created by the two of them, the sight suddenly became clear and widened. A trace of hesitation appeared in Zhou Qi's eyes. This hesitation stayed for a long time and then turned into a sigh. Finally, at Liu Daxi's urging, Zhou Qi walked a few steps quickly. Walking side by side with him, we returned to Xu's Catering.

After Zhou Qi went out and came back, the gloom on his face was wiped away, and he joined the chatting group again.
------

"I just want to ask if there is room for negotiation on this price. After all, if the price is increased for no reason and the dishes remain unchanged, it will be difficult for us to explain to the parents of the students."

"How can you say that? One more dish has been added. Side dishes and side dishes can serve more meals, right?"

"In that case, let's do it at the end of this month."

"Oh, do you plan to renew the cooperation contract at the end of the month? I will prepare it in advance. How about coming to you tomorrow to re-sign?"

"Ah, no." The principal of Hongxing Middle School pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Let's end the cooperation at the end of this month. I have found a new supplier."

After leaving Hongxing Middle School, the faces of other suppliers in Zhuzhou City appeared in his mind one by one. After playing it in a loop several times, he still could not locate the suspect. In the end, he could only curse in secret: "Shameful traitor!"

Jingle bells - jingle bells -

Almost at the moment when the curse was spoken, the cell phone rang at the same time. The man took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from a familiar supplier.

"Lao Tian, ​​come over to the Zhuzhou Hotel. Everyone is here, so hurry up!"

"Okay! I'll be there soon!"

After finishing speaking, Lao Tian hung up the phone, hailed a taxi and went directly to the Zhuzhou Hotel. He hurried to the box reserved by his companions, opened the box door, and scanned the faces of everyone in the box one by one. No one was there. Okay, everyone is here.

Before Lao Tian could sit down, someone asked: "Old Tian, ​​didn't you say that the principal of Red Star Middle School came to see you? How was the conversation?"

"Well, let's talk about it!" Lao Tian said angrily as he sat down, picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp, then said angrily: "Someone in this box has become a traitor!"

"Traitor, what traitor? What's going on?"

Under constant questioning from everyone, Lao Tian fully explained what had just happened at Red Star Middle School, and shouted again: "If there is not a traitor, how can we explain this situation?"

"The talks with me also broke down, and they gave the same explanation, which was to cancel the cooperation."

"Me too, it's said that we are cooperating with other suppliers."

"Me too"

"."

After everyone in the box finished speaking one by one, everyone suddenly looked at each other.

Suppliers of all sizes in Zhuzhou City are here. If everyone is rejected, who will be the supplier that wins the cooperation with these schools?

"Is it possible that there is a newly established group catering company in Zhuzhou City? Or is it that group catering companies from other cities have settled in Zhuzhou City? No matter which type, I have never heard of it!"

Then everyone made use of their personal connections. After making phone calls one after another, they soon received accurate news. A new group meal company had really settled in Zhuzhou City!

Xu’s Catering, it turns out to be you!It turns out that you stole our cooperation order!The foreign monk is really good at chanting sutras!What a great skill!
"What should we do? How about we go back and give in?" One of the suppliers said uneasily: "The price of eight yuan is actually quite good. The profit part is not low, and it saves worry and effort. Big list”

"Being soft. Is it useful to be soft now? Today's interview is probably the last chance for us!" Lao Tian gritted his teeth and said: "Now our enemy is Xu's Catering. As long as it is destroyed, those schools will have to obey. Come back to us!"

"Then, what are we going to do?" After hearing this, everyone seemed to have found a backbone and asked again and again.

"How to do it." Lao Tian suddenly laughed ferociously, and said with gloomy eyes: "Let's let Xu's Catering know what it means to be a strong dragon but not a local snake. When you come to our territory, if you are a dragon, you have to be coiled! Yes! The tiger will just lie down for us!"

------

In this wave of expansion, four new people were recruited in the kitchen. Xu's Fast Food and Xu's Braised Food each established a management team. The design, bidding, administration and other departments each added 1 to 2 employees. The total number of employees in Xu's Catering The number exceeds 100 people!

According to relevant regulations, the average office area needs to be three square meters per person. Previously, because Liu Daxi and other employees were kitchen staff and did not need to work in the office, they were reluctantly accommodated.

But now that a new batch of people have been recruited, not to mention the big office, employees have even been arranged for small meetings. Xu An's office has been cleared out, and half of the space has been given to Lu Shengnan.
Although it is possible to wait until the factory is built and convert the rooms on the first floor into offices, Xu's Fast Food is now in a rapid development stage. According to the current development speed, even if the first floor is converted into offices, it still cannot accommodate the increasing number of people. More employees
This is not a long-term solution, you still have to plan ahead!
With the completion and opening of Xu's Catering Headquarters, many more merchants have settled in Qianjin Road, but there are still many idle plots of land, and the prices for both leasing and selling have not increased much.
The most important thing is that now I have money. As long as I buy the land, sign the contract, and get the real estate certificate, I can take the real estate certificate to the bank for mortgage, and how much money goes in, how much money comes out.
It will not affect Xu's Catering's cash flow, nor will it affect Xu's Catering's factories under construction, branch expansion, cold chain fleet formation, and offshore hot spring construction matters
While thinking, Xu An unknowingly walked out of the store and looked sideways in the direction of Lijie Real Estate Agency. The figure of the agency man appeared in Xu An's mind.

Although there were some problems with the last cooperation with the agency, it was still quite pleasant overall. If the landlord of the furniture store hadn't been ulterior motives, it would have been a perfect cooperation.

Moreover, even after something went wrong and the commission promised by Xu An disappeared, the agency boy was still busy running back and forth without slacking off at all.

Furthermore, the one who is most familiar with the stores on Qianjie Road is the Lijie Real Estate Agency whose store is on this road.
Since you still want the land here, the agent is a very good choice.
How about going to talk to the agency guy?
