1987: Sleepless Tonight

Kevin thought for a while and then nodded in agreement, "Okay, no problem. For the KFC restaurant you are cooperating with, Mr. Lu, you have the right to make suggestions and votes in terms of decoration design. Your opinions will be taken into consideration when designing the decoration."

"I believe that Mr. Lu will be able to provide us with very valuable suggestions based on your ability."

Kevin agreed to both suggestions!

so easy!

So easy!

This made Yan Mingchang and others feel a little incredible.

They have also had contact with foreigners. The foreigners are very open-mouthed and rude when it comes to making conditions. They are also very disrespectful and arrogant towards the suggestions made by domestic personnel.

But I didn't expect Kevin to value Lu Hao's suggestions so much that he was even willing to give him the right to vote on decoration design.

“I have always had a concept in business, which is win-win and take care of the interests of many parties. The essence of the transaction itself is to get what everyone needs. It does not necessarily have to harm oneself and benefit others, nor does it necessarily have to benefit oneself at the expense of others. It can completely complement each other and each can gain something. What you need." Lu Hao said, "Mr. Kevin, even if you have doubts in your heart now, I believe that time will prove everything, as we have an old saying, time will tell the truth."

"In addition to the above two requirements, I would also like to make some requests, or suggestions. In the contract, the planned trial operation time is three months, and the KFC branch will be transferred to me after three months. , this time is too long and needs to be shortened.”

"Mr. Lu, how long do you think is appropriate? I have to explain first that three months is the data we have obtained after various comprehensive considerations. If it is shorter than this time, the training of personnel will not be in place. Personnel training If it is not in place, it will affect the normal work of the store and then affect the customer flow." Kevin said.

"I believe that it takes three months of training to ensure service. It is the result of your careful consideration and full verification." Lu Hao first affirmed.

However, he then changed the subject, "But is this verification based on the actual situation in our country, and is it an investigation that is in line with our national conditions?"

These words stopped Kevin.

He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "This survey and verification is not a survey in China, because there is currently only one KFC store in China, and the sample is too small and not accurate enough. This survey is based on the results of a global survey. "

"It takes three months for employees to master various operating specifications proficiently and produce qualified products so that customers can have a satisfactory experience."

He was telling the truth. The trial operation for such a long time was mainly to allow employees, franchisees and partners to become proficient in the operation of KFC.

"So, this global survey is actually not accurate enough. KFC has many competitors around the world, especially McDonald's. In places other than China, its size and popularity are... All are better than KFC. If KFC wants to achieve certain results in China, it cannot stick to formalities and must take the initiative to make changes and survive of the fittest." Lu Hao looked at Kevin.

Lu Hao was wearing a suit and tie, his hair was combed, and he sat very straight.

The eyes are very sharp.

Although it was in a conference room, it felt like a battlefield with two parties fighting.

Moreover, Lu Hao completely occupies the dominant position.

This scene excited many people present, especially some reporters who took photos and videos. They saw that Kevin, as a foreigner, was being questioned by Lu Hao, and Kevin seemed a little overwhelmed.

Such scenes are rare.

In terms of military strength, the whole country has fought several fights with Laos and the United States, either directly or indirectly. From top to bottom, we have very strong confidence that we will not be bullied easily, even by Laos and the United States.

But in terms of economic strength, living standards, and business, there is still a very big gap between us and the United States, and this gap is reflected all the time, from food, clothing, housing, to all other aspects.

But now, Lu Hao is able to go head-to-head with the old American businessman Kevin without falling behind, which greatly enhances everyone's sense of pride.

"But if you don't pay attention to product quality, there will definitely be fewer and fewer customers, and the entire KFC brand will also be implicated." Kevin said, "Although KFC wants to expand, in terms of food hygiene, safety and quality, We have always been very attentive.”

He also took the opportunity to promote KFC's philosophy.

With so many reporters, so many people taking photos and videos, Kevin is not a fool. He knows that Jiangcheng City attaches great importance to this matter of cooperation with Lu Hao, and will definitely publicize it vigorously.

This is actually equivalent to advertising for KFC, so as the person in charge of KFC in China, he naturally has to ensure a good image of KFC.

"I'm not asking you to cheat, nor am I asking you to tamper with food safety." Lu Hao corrected, "Allowing you to shorten the trial operation time does not mean reducing the quality and safety of the product."

"Mr. Lu, please just say it. I don't understand what you mean. I'm also very curious about how we can shorten the time while ensuring the safety of food and the normal operation of KFC branches. The two seem to be very It’s hard to take care of everything at the same time.” Kevin asked.

He really didn't quite understand what Lu Hao meant.

His mind couldn't keep up with Lu Hao's thoughts.

"Hasn't KFC already opened its first store in China? Then, after we sign the contract, can I arrange a group of people to go to KFC's first store in China to learn from it and learn from it? If you work there in the name of an internship, you can pay them wages. Of course, you don’t need to pay them according to the standards of regular employees. You can pay them wages during the internship period." Lu Hao said.

"It will take five or six months for the renovation and expansion of the Wanjia Department Store to be completed. This period of time can fully allow the employees I sent to master the operating specifications of each position. After the renovation and expansion of the Wanjia Department Store is completed, they can continue return."

"After the renovation of the KFC branch in Jiangcheng is completed, they can also go to work in the KFC branch in Jiangcheng. I will run the store and manage the employees. In this way, can I ensure the proficiency of the employees and meet the job requirements? , on the premise of ensuring service quality, shortening the trial operation time?”

"It doesn't need to be three months, or even a month, just one week is enough."
