Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

For Zhou Qi, Lin Yifeng's arrival today was a big surprise. It allowed him to see a different Lin Yifeng, a person full of passion, determination and perseverance.

"You should quit your current job," Zhou Qi suggested.

"I have already resigned," Lin Yifeng replied. "Whether you agree to let me take over the second branch or not, I have decided to continue the dried fruit business. For me, it's just a matter of starting point."

Zhou Qi was a little surprised, and then asked: "If I don't agree, what are your plans?"

"I will start from scratch," Lin Yifeng said. "I can start selling goods with a tricycle, slowly save money to open a store, and then open a chain store like you did. I believe that as long as the product quality is good, there will be no shortage of markets."

Zhou Qi smiled and thought that such words sounded a bit naive. Good products do have a market, but doing business is far more complicated than that. There are many complex factors involved.

However, Zhou Qi did not want to dampen Lin Yifeng's enthusiasm because he knew that he could provide Lin Yifeng with the necessary support.

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "From today on, you are the new factory director of the company. You can select employees from the second branch to form your preserved fruit production team, and you will get 20% of the market sales profit as dividends. What do you think?"

"No problem." Lin Yifeng answered firmly.

"I won't take care of production. Just give me a list of what equipment or funds you need." Zhou Qi continued, "But I have one condition. I hope you can build a complete production line within a month and develop at least ten different products. Can you do it?"

Lin Yifeng pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay."

He has thought about the equipment he needs and knows where to order it from and what size it will need.

As for the more than ten kinds of preserved fruits, he has gained confidence through his hard work and attempts over this period of time.

Zhou Qi immediately called Cao Qinquan to prepare the labor contract and arranged the funds allocation. Lin Yifeng signed the contract without hesitation.

Zhou Qi said to him: "Quality comes first, ** must also be high-end. You can ask professionals to help with the design. Remember, our target is the high-end market, and the price is affordable."

In the next hour or so, Zhou Qi also shared some management concepts, which benefited Lin Yifeng a lot.

He began to understand that his brother-in-law's success was not just luck, but he really had the ability.

Lin Yifeng felt a desire to improve himself and at the same time felt unprecedentedly excited.

After Lin Yifeng left, Zhou Qi tried some dried fruits.

Even though he doesn't usually eat these snacks, he couldn't stop eating them this time.

He decided to bring these dried fruits to Lin Ruixue to taste, believing that she would be happy with her brother's efforts after tasting them.

Indeed, after learning about her brother's changes and tasting the dried fruits, Lin Ruixue's eyes sparkled with emotion. She didn't expect that her once impulsive brother would become so hardworking now.

"Thank you, Lao Zhou." Lin Ruixue said gratefully.

"Why thank me? This is all the result of Yifeng's own hard work." Zhou Qi said.

Lin Ruixue shook her head: "Since the incident at the police station, Yifeng has changed. Although I don't know what happened specifically, I know you have done a lot. It was your influence that made Yifeng become positive, and it was you who changed our family."

"Do I have that much ability?" Zhou Qi said with a smile.

Lin Ruixue nodded and said seriously: "Well, that's amazing, so I don't want to be left behind." As she said that, she took out a booklet and handed it to Zhou Qi.

Another book?

Zhou Qi took it and took a look—a clothing store franchise plan!

What's going on today?

Lin Yifeng had just given him a surprise, and then his girlfriend Lin Ruixue gave him another one.

They are truly a pair of siblings, they understand each other so well, and they don’t have to wait until tomorrow.

Upon closer inspection, it is obvious that this plan could not be completed in one day, as the content is very detailed.

Lin Ruixue explained that the recent sales method through agents is limited by funds, and opening physical stores is too burdensome for ordinary families.

So she borrowed the expansion strategy of the fruit stores, providing risk-free supply of goods and allowing returns and exchanges of unsaleable goods.

All products are marked with high-quality brand logos, so franchisees only need to provide a business premises and accept uniform decoration to join for free, and the profits will be shared proportionally.

It can be seen that Lin Ruixue has put in a lot of effort.

Although this plan no longer suits the current development needs, Zhou Qi is still very surprised because everyone is working hard and the planning is more professional than before, incorporating personal thinking, which in itself is an improvement.

"How do you feel? Are you okay?" Lin Ruixue asked tentatively.

"Very good." Zhou Qi first expressed his appreciation, then pointed out some of the shortcomings and said: "If it was a month or two ago, such a plan could be implemented, but now we need to make some adjustments."

Specifically, the small-scale franchise model can no longer be continued, and existing agents will stop supplying goods soon.

Stop supplying?

Lin Ruixue looked at Zhou Qi in surprise and asked anxiously, "Why?"

Several agents are unemployed workers. It is not easy for them to open shops. If the supply is stopped, how will they maintain their livelihood?

Zhou Qi understands the concerns of his target. Frankly speaking, this will indeed have an impact on small business operators, but for the sake of long-term development, it has to be done.

Looking at the target's expression, Zhou Jianzhong sighed and said, "We can give them some compensation at that time, but they are indeed not suitable to continue to stay in our system."

When it comes to compensation, Lin Ruixue's mood improves a little, but she still asks in confusion: "Wouldn't it be possible to increase sales by expanding more stores? Why do we have to cancel the supply?"

"Because they don't have enough capacity to support a larger market..."

Zhou Qi said: "After our clothing mall opened, many small clothing stores closed down. This is the natural selection of the market."

"Have you ever thought about why this happened?" Zhou Qi asked.

Lin Ruixue was stunned for a moment, because she had not thought about this question carefully before. After thinking for a while, she said, "It may be because their clothes are old-fashioned, the store is small, and the variety is not complete."

Zhou Qi nodded in agreement: "Indeed, these small stores have limited channels for purchasing goods and lack competitiveness, so their market share is naturally small, which also affects the image of our brand."

Then, Zhou Qi no longer concealed it and revealed to her his new plan for his clothing business.

He plans to build his own brand and look for strong partners across the country to open a large clothing supermarket that will become a local landmark like the shopping mall in the county town.
