1987: Sleepless Tonight

He kept emphasizing his responsibilities, KFC, and Kevin's importance to him, asking Lu Hao not to mind what he said, but in fact he was not optimistic about this cooperation and had a very deep prejudice against Lu Hao.

"Mr. Lu, should you give me a reasonable explanation for what Fang Bilong said? If this plan is exaggerated, it is not what you actually think. I think you are not sincere enough for this cooperation. , then I will have very pessimistic thoughts about the possibility of cooperation." Kevin looked at Lu Hao.

He believed Fang Bilong's words somewhat and asked Lu Hao to give an explanation.

"It took me three days to write this plan, and I am responsible for every word in it." Lu Hao took a puff of his cigar, "Just because others can't do it, doesn't mean I can't do it. What Manager Fang thinks is exaggerated doesn’t mean it can’t be completed in my hands.”

"I am very confident in KFC's expansion speed in Jiangcheng, including its expansion across the country, and this confidence is not blind. It is based on reference."

"First, KFC is indeed a very good fast food brand, and this is good not because of how good it tastes, but because of KFC's business philosophy, ambition, and global expansion ambitions, and I also have the same Ambition, I want to expand my business, not just in Jiangcheng, but also across the province, the country, and even the world."

"To achieve this, the best way is to join forces, play to each other's strengths, make up for each other's shortcomings, and achieve the goal of 11>2."

He looked at Kevin and said, "You chose Fang Bilong as your manager because you originally hoped that he could act as a translator. And because he is a local, he understands our concepts better. With him by your side, he can give you reference opinions so that you can make decisions about cooperation and cooperation." No, it is the basis for formulating KFC’s business development plan.”

"There is nothing wrong with any of this, but there are obviously loopholes, and there will be misjudgments. Fang Bilong misjudged me. He did not do enough homework on me before coming. Maybe he came here just as a tourist. He was not interested in this trip. The cooperation did not involve careful investigation and understanding. If he had had a careful understanding of me, he would not have said what he just said."

"I was originally just an idle member of society without a job, but within a year, I was able to grow my business to such a large scale. The Wanjia Department Store was being renovated and expanded. Within half a year, that is, at the end of the year , will be completed, and by that time, the renovated and expanded Wanjia Department Store will become the most modern building in Jiangcheng, and will become a business model that is eagerly reported by the news media."

"The turnover is about to reach an all-time high. I am an ambitious person, but I am definitely not someone who talks nonsense."

The contents of Lu Hao's plan were not exaggerated, because this contact with Kevin was more about reaching an overall intention of cooperation, and the details will definitely continue to be discussed.

If you exaggerate in your plan and write about things you can't do, you may end up shooting yourself in the foot, which is not worth the gain.

Lu Hao continued, "Yes, Mr. Kevin may not know yet, but with only a department store operating area of ​​1500 square meters, my daily sales exceeded 500 million, breaking the sales record of Jiangcheng Mall."

He talked about his achievements, and kept staring at Kevin's face and expression.

From Kevin's expression, he could see that the other party really didn't know much about his situation, and after hearing what he said, he was very interested.

Always listening carefully.

There is a play.

"What I want to do will definitely be successful, and if I want to do this, it means that this thing has great potential. Since I said that so many KFC branches can be opened in Jiangcheng, then they can definitely be opened." Lu Hao looked at Kevin, "This is why I want to contact you through Hannah."

"Actually, as the party who took the initiative to talk about cooperation, I should have gone to find you. I should have flown to the KFC stores in China and sat in your office to discuss with you. But I asked Hannah to talk to you. The reason you contacted me and asked you to come to Jiangcheng is because I think Mr. Kevin, you definitely want to see for yourself the real situation of my potential partner, my business, and my abilities."

"We have an old saying that hearing is false and seeing is believing. Is what I say is a lie? Is my plan deceiving you? Or do I really have the confidence to do what I say and do what is written in my plan? What I have read is not to brag. I hope that Mr. Kevin can personally visit all the businesses under my name to see how I am different from other people and to see if my abilities are feasible."

Lu Hao is very confident that the contents of the plan can be achieved.

In the previous life, the time for KFC's rapid expansion was not now but a few years later, but in fact the time is now ripe.

The reason why KFC is still hesitant at this moment is because they are not sure yet and still have doubts about market confidence. Even if the first store they opened has already had a good start and is still red and purple, the more so, the more Cautious, fearing that this phenomenon is just a coincidence.

But Lu Hao is sure, he has this confidence.

So when I said these words, my voice was decisive and without hesitation at all.

Such an attitude, such confidence in KFC, and such optimism about the domestic market really inspired Kevin.

He looked at Lu Hao and said, "Mr. Lu, I have to say that you are a very good speaker. You have convinced me that I am very interested in cooperating with you. But before that, I really want to cooperate with you." Go around the company and see the situation realistically, so that you can evaluate your strength more accurately and objectively, and then sit down and discuss the specific details of cooperation, what do you think?"

"You are welcome to visit the companies under my name to see the specific situation. You are also welcome to interview my employees to see their management of the company and their views on the future. You will find that I am not like the other businessmen you meet. It's different, you will see the real me, you will also see a positive me, and you will also see a very good partner." Lu Hao nodded.

He stood up and shook Kevin's hand.

"Let's go, let me take you around the department store first to see the business conditions, what customers think of us, and the service attitude of the waiters." Lu Hao said.
