1987: Sleepless Tonight

It really is like this.

It was still possible to operate like this. After listening to Lu Hao's explanation, Kevin suddenly realized.

He looked at Lu Hao and said, "Mr. Lu, your ideas are always surprising, but I have to say that they are very reasonable. They are like a beam of light appearing in the darkness, so dazzling and bright."

"Arranging employees to intern in KFC stores in advance can indeed solve this problem, but this method is not applicable to all stores. No one has the courage like you, Mr. Lu, to arrange employees to intern in advance. After an employee completes his internship, if he does not return to work in your store, your losses will be relatively large. Moreover, some people will definitely not be so happy if they have not seen the opening of a KFC store or the turnover in the store. Peace of mind.”

Let employees go for internships in advance, and then let them work in their own stores.

This method is actually similar to some orientation students.

In some units, because the working conditions are relatively difficult, in rural areas, or in very remote places with inconvenient transportation, few people are willing to work there and do not want to live there.

However, the local area is in urgent need of talents in various fields.

As a result, the local government took some measures to reach cooperation intentions with some schools and recruit oriented students. When these oriented students apply for these majors, their scores can be slightly lower, or their tuition fees can be reduced. In return, these students When graduates, orientation students must go to work in these places with difficult conditions to help local development.

Now, what Lu Hao has to do is to select some employees to work and intern at KFC, and then let these employees come back after the KFC branch in Jiangcheng is built.

He provided job opportunities, and in return, these employees had to come back to work when the Jiangcheng branch opened.

"Yes, it is not useful for all stores, but it is very practical for Jiangcheng, Mr. Kevin and I, and this KFC branch that has signed a cooperation agreement with KFC." Lu Hao nodded.

"Because the reconstruction and expansion project of Wanjia Department Store takes time, this period of time allows employees to go for training and internships, which just fills the vacuum period. We have been waiting for the reconstruction and expansion of Wanjia Department Store before starting preparations for KFC in Jiangcheng. It will definitely be If it doesn’t work, you have to make full and reasonable use of your time.”

"Another reason why I want to shorten the time is to finalize the KFC branch before the New Year. The New Year is the most important festival of the year in our country. On this day, the whole family will get together. Having New Year's Eve dinner together means running for life, and people who go to various parts of the country will also come back with big and small bags, bringing back this year's income, some delicious food for their children at home, and some New clothes, reunion, harmony and beauty."

"At this time, if the KFC branch in Jiangcheng is run by our own people, from an emotional point of view, it will be more in line with the psychological needs of the general public, and their support for KFC will be greater. Doing business requires Taking national sentiments into account and taking into account public sentiment.”

"So, before the Chinese New Year and New Year's Eve, the KFC branch in Jiangcheng must be handed over to me, and the property rights must be transferred to me. This must be written in the contract."

"But there is no precedent for doing this, and there are great risks. This Jiangcheng branch is KFC's second branch in China. It is of great significance and is related to KFC's future brand value. If the turnover is not high, the business will If it is not good, it will inevitably affect the value of KFC, and KFC will lose the initiative in cooperation with other partners, including KFC's status in the minds of consumers will also decline." Kevin said.

He was still a little worried.

Lu Hao smiled and looked at him, "It's normal for Mr. Kevin to have doubts about this. We can still use the betting method. According to my request, KFC accepted my sending employees for training, and the decoration of the Jiangcheng branch was completed. After that, the store was transferred to me within a week. As compensation for KFC's concession, I guaranteed that after taking over the KFC branch, the daily turnover would not be less than 2 yuan. If it is lower than this number, I would voluntarily The compensation will be 2 yuan to KFC."

He still used the gambling agreement to make Kevin cancel his concerns and make the other party agree with his opinion.

The daily turnover is no less than 2 yuan!

This amount is very high.

Not only Yan Mingchang and others were surprised, reporters attending the meeting were also surprised when they heard the amount, and even Kevin himself was also surprised.

Unexpectedly, Lu Hao would propose such a bet in order to make himself agree.

Even Li Xiujuan, Zhang Zhigang and Li Xuewu were also surprised.

If the daily turnover does not reach 2 yuan, they will be given 2 yuan. These are two households worth [-] yuan.

The key point is that there is absolutely no need to make this bet with the other party. Just train for a while and let KFC operate for a while before taking over. Although it may take a little longer, if the business situation is really bad, you can still calm down for a while. Take it easy and find a way to solve it instead of saying that you have to pay 2 yuan to the other party.

On the side, Wang Guosheng couldn't help but remind him in a low voice, "Boss Lu, don't be so anxious about KFC. Good things come in a long way. There is no problem in letting KFC operate for a while. As long as the cooperation stipulates that it will be transferred to you in the end, this matter will be settled." You can wait a little longer.”

"Thank you, Director Wang, for the reminder. If KFC achieves success in the hands of foreigners, the credit will definitely belong to the foreigners. If it is transferred to our own hands earlier, then the results will definitely belong to us," Lu Hao said.

After saying this, he did not forget to remind Fang Bilong, "Don't translate this statement. This is our private discussion. There is no need for Mr. Kevin to know, and there will be no loss to KFC. You Not translating it would not be a dereliction of duty.”

When Fang Bilong heard this, he paused and then nodded, without translating the private conversation between Lu Hao and Wang Guosheng to Kevin.

Instead, he said to Kevin, "Mr. Kevin, Mr. Lu, they are communicating internally, and they also have some disputes about this gambling agreement."

Controversial indeed.

When he said this to Kevin, he was in English. After hearing Fang Bilong's explanation, Kevin just raised his head, indicating that Lu Hao and others could continue the discussion in a low voice.

He was not surprised by this, nor did he object to it. This was all normal.

Lu Hao also heard what Fang Bilong said to Kevin.

Fang Bilong's favorability improved a lot. Although the other party worked for KFC, Fang Bilong's heart was actually on his side. He did not tell Kevin the content of the discussion, but used a relatively vague rhetoric.
