Chapter 205 Purchase of Another Commercial Building
"Alright, let's go back first. Once we get back to our place, contact the landlord immediately to confirm the details of the meeting."
While walking, Zhao Yuan suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Mu Bin:
"By the way, Mu Bin, you and Yan Qianqian have quite a good income these days. If you come across a suitable courtyard house or villa, you can confidently buy a few."
However, faced with Zhao Yuan's suggestion, Mu Bin looked troubled. After hesitating for a moment, he finally mustered up the courage to ask:
"Mr. Zhao, I've always had a question in my mind. Many people don't like those old courtyard houses these days, finding them particularly inconvenient to live in. But why are you so enthusiastic about buying them?"
Seeing Mu Bin's puzzled expression, Zhao Yuan smiled and then slowly explained:
"You don't understand, do you? These courtyard houses will be a very scarce resource in the future! Just think about it, having your own independent sky, land, and courtyard—how pleasant that would be! In comparison, those towering skyscrapers, while convenient, feel like being trapped in tiny cages. How can they compare to the freedom of a courtyard house!"
"Oh……"
Mu Bin's mouth was slightly open, his face full of confusion, and his eyes revealed deep doubt.
Clearly, he had not yet fully grasped the situation at hand.
However, despite having many questions, seeing his boss Zhao Yuan's enthusiasm and initiative, Mu Bin believed that there would definitely be no mistakes.
The next morning, soft sunlight pierced through the thin, gauze-like clouds, falling like golden raindrops and gently covering the earth.
Those rays of light seemed to possess a life of their own, leaping joyfully and infusing the otherwise somewhat desolate city with warmth and boundless vitality.
Zhao Yuan, Mu Bin, and Zhou Jiefang strictly adhered to the previously agreed-upon time and arrived at the meeting place with the landlord.
When they finally met the landlord, an extremely fierce bargaining battle officially began.
The two sides were like two well-trained armies, going back and forth, neither giving an inch.
Everyone held tightly to their chips, doing their best to articulate their views and positions, all in an effort to secure the most favorable conditions for themselves in this tense and exciting transaction.
In an instant, various voices intertwined, forming a noisy and chaotic wave of sound.
Some words are sharp and incisive, directly hitting the other party's weak points; others are tactful and subtle, attempting to overcome strength with gentleness.
Amidst this chaotic situation, after round after round of arduous and protracted negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement—the house would be successfully sold for 120,000 yuan!
This house has three floors in total.
The first floor is adjacent to a bustling street, and its prime location gives it extremely high commercial value.
The building has a total area of 1000 square meters, and this huge space can undoubtedly fully meet the operating needs of "Zhao's Kitchen".
What's even more surprising is that it has a spacious backyard of 100 square meters.
Next to the yard is a flat and wide path, which allows all kinds of vehicles to drive in easily and park steadily in the backyard. Such convenience is rare nowadays.
After agreeing on the price, Zhao Yuan went to the bank and withdrew a full 12 yuan in cash, which he neatly packed into his heavy handbag.
Then, carrying the money, they rushed to the Shanghai Real Estate Bureau with the landlord to complete the property transfer procedures. The whole process went surprisingly smoothly, without any obstacles or troubles.
Finally, all the relevant procedures were completed, and the site selection for "Zhaoshi Kitchen's Second and Third Branches in Shanghai" was finally brought to a perfect conclusion.
However, for Zhao Yuan and his team, this was just the beginning.
Next, they will face a series of more challenging and critical tasks.
The first step is to carry out a comprehensive renovation and refurbishment project for the new store in accordance with the company's unified standards and requirements.
This work requires not only careful design of the layout of every corner, but also ensuring high-quality construction to create a comfortable and pleasant dining environment.
At the same time, the recruitment and training of personnel are also urgent matters.
After all, an excellent restaurant cannot function without a high-quality workforce, so it is essential to select suitable talent and provide them with professional and systematic training to help them quickly become familiar with business processes and service standards.
In addition, the development of marketing strategies after the opening of a new store should not be overlooked.
Only by developing targeted and attractive marketing plans can more customers be attracted to the store, allowing the new store to stand out in the fiercely competitive catering market and quickly gain a foothold.
In short, every task is of utmost importance, and any negligence could affect the future development prospects of the new store.
But Zhao Yuan believes that with the wisdom and hard work of his team members, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and create brilliant achievements for "Zhao's Kitchen"!
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Yuan made a crucial decision: to convene an urgent meeting before leaving Shanghai! The meeting was to summarize the work of "Zhao's Kitchen Shanghai Branch 1" and make arrangements for the planning of "Zhao's Kitchen Shanghai Branch 2 and 3". Because he had to catch an afternoon flight, time was tight and there was no room for delay!
Once the notice was issued, the middle-level managers of "Zhao's Kitchen Shanghai First Branch" acted swiftly, rushing to the conference room like arrows released from a bow.
In no time, Mu Bin, Yan Qianqian, Zhou Jiefang, and other key personnel arrived.
After everyone took their seats, the atmosphere in the conference room became unusually heavy.
Zhao Yuan's expression was serious, his brows furrowed. He took a deep breath and slowly spoke:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have gathered you all here today because although our 'Zhao's Kitchen Shanghai Branch No. 1' has been performing very well since its opening, we have also encountered many problems that urgently need to be solved."
Next, I will give a comprehensive and in-depth summary and guidance on our store's recent work.
After saying that, Zhao Yuan opened the document in his hand, which was filled with detailed data on the store's operations over the past period of time and various thorny problems.
