Chapter 353 Do You Know What a Chain Store Is?
"To open a restaurant, the cost is mainly in three aspects, the first is the chef, the second is the ingredients, and the third is the storefront."

Li Chaosheng looked at Bai Shoumin and said: "First of all, the restaurant opened by the secret spy department of Lantian County hires local chefs. This costs a lot. The kitchen of a big restaurant does not have one or two chefs. One or even a dozen, two or three master chefs alone, followed by porridge, cold dishes, pastry chefs, and lotus, and the entire back kitchen team will cost a lot of money."

"And to open a chicken and chips shop, you don't need a chef. We have a secret recipe for the production method. Follow the method taught by the secret recipe step by step. Anyone can make this chicken and chips, and the taste is exactly the same as what you eat today. Same, so the money for the kitchen will be saved.”

Li Chaosheng analyzed slowly, after hearing this, Bai Shoumin looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "So simple?"

At this moment, Li Chaosheng smiled and said to Kang Kangchun beside him, "Let me introduce the method of making this thing to Mr. Bai."

Hearing this, Kang Fuchun smiled and said: "Master Bai, these few things are very simple. First of all, the French fries are potatoes wrapped in starch and fried in a hot oil pan. I can learn it almost once after I train it. And the secret of this delicious food is the tomato sauce, this is our secret recipe, according to the meaning of the county, it is to provide the finished product directly, and the tomato seeds are only available in our Lantian, so we can monopolize the tomato sauce at the source."

"As for this fried chicken, you can buy local chicken. The secret to its delicious taste is our secret fried chicken powder. It contains special seasonings such as chili powder that cannot be imitated in other places. It is not afraid of being learned by others. When making it , as long as you roll the chicken in the fried chicken powder, and then deep-fry it in the oil pan, and in order not to be fried, Xianzun specially asked a craftsman to make an hourglass, from throwing the chicken into the pan to taking it out, One hourglass will do."

After hearing this, Bai Shoumin said, "This is the way to go. We don't need to find a chef, and we can save one-third of our personnel expenses."

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "Let's go on to say that the second ingredient, the ingredients of the big restaurant must be rich, such as flying in the sky, running in the ground, swimming in the water, basically have to have, otherwise you will throw it if you don't have it when people come to order." It’s a signboard, so it is inevitable to prepare more ingredients, and the ingredients will be wasted if they are not used. This waste of ingredients is a big expense, especially seafood or river seafood, which are more likely to be wasted.”

"As for fried chicken and French fries, you only need to prepare two ingredients, one is chicken and the other is potatoes. These two things can be stored for a long time, which avoids the waste of ingredients and saves a lot of money. money."

Bai Shoumin said: "The county lord is very right, but what about the rice wine and plum soup for the county lord?"

Li Chaosheng said: "This is simple. You can order rice wine from a local wine shop, and you can add ice when you come back. As for the plum soup recipe, it is an old recipe. The ingredients in it can be bought in the dried fruit store of the pharmacy. It can be drunk when it is cold, and there is no technical difficulty.”

"We can also save a lot of money on the ingredients of the County Venerable, but the rent of the County Venerable is not cheap."

Bai Shoumin raised a very crucial question, the rent, this rent is not cheap, you can save money here, and that also saves money, but how are you going to solve the rent?Can you still conjure a house out of thin air?

Bai Shoumin looked at Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng looked at Bai Shoumin and said with a smile: "The house is also very simple, find someone to open the chain."

"Ah? Chain, what is chain?"

Bai Shoumin's eyes widened in confusion, Li Chaosheng looked at Bai Shoumin and said, "Do you think these two things can make money?"

After hearing this, Bai Shoumin said: "Yes, I think it's quite delicious."

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "It's easy to make money. After we open a store in a city, we will first find local wealthy businessmen to discuss cooperation. It must be difficult at first, but it's not important. Let's open two flagship stores first. It’s too big, the decoration must be more refined, and then sell the fried chicken, French fries, rice wine, and plum soup, as long as we sell it and make money, then we will talk about cooperation when we let the wind out, and these businessmen will definitely flock to it.”

"And the conditions for us to cooperate are also very simple. They provide the store, we provide personnel and secret recipes, they hold [-]% of the shares, and we hold [-]% of the shares, so we can use their real estate for nothing."

After hearing this, Bai Shoumin said: "Thirty percent, what can they do?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said, "If it wasn't for the quick marketing, I wouldn't give him [-]%, two floors at most."

After hearing this, Bai Shoumin thought for a while and wanted to shut up.

Li Chaosheng said: "The Department of Commerce will cooperate with your Secret Service Department in this matter. The Operations Department will assign the store manager as the store manager. Your Secret Service Department is not allowed to directly intervene in the operation of the store, understand?"

"Yes."

Li Chaosheng looked at Bai Shoumin and said: "Shoumin, our secret spy department has completed the initial key infiltration, and then we will infiltrate on a large scale. In the past, I acquiesced in some barbaric practices, but now we need to form a system. Things, you secret spies have to pay attention, you have to be good at this aspect, your burden is very heavy."

"Don't worry, the county lord, I will strictly manage the secret spies in accordance with the rules and regulations, please don't worry about the county lord."

Li Chaosheng smiled and nodded, "That's very good."

Bai Shoumin left, followed by the person in charge of the commercial department. Li Chaosheng gave them a chain operation plan called a fried chicken shop. The people from the commercial department looked at it and called the county lord a ghost. The method of cooperation is rapidly expanding the stores. It is foreseeable that as long as the operation is done well, the fried chicken shops will definitely be distributed throughout the cities of Daming in the future.

The fried chicken restaurant is definitely a business model that crosses the era.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chaosheng discussed specific plans with the Ministry of Commerce, especially regarding advertising. To make this product famous, it must be high quality.

After all, the price of Li Chaosheng’s fried chicken is not cheap. The chickens in the fried chicken shop are sold separately, but after combining them, you will find that the price of one chicken can buy two chickens elsewhere, but as long as the price is enough, This is not a problem, after all, Li Chaosheng has ready-made successful cases to refer to.

In this way, under the promotion of Li Chaosheng, the late Ming version of Kaifeng cuisine (kfc) was officially launched. Li Chaosheng felt that the sales would be very good, especially in the Jiangnan area, where there is no shortage of people who have spare money and like to try new things.

In the northern region, some big cities can definitely accept such shops, but Li Chaosheng doesn’t have much hope in small cities, places where people can’t afford to eat, but Li Chaosheng also has a way in these places, that is, to sell grain directly and open grain stores That's it.

In addition, Li Chaosheng gave this fried chicken restaurant an elegant name: Jixiangji. Even more fragrant, this name was more accepted in the late Ming Dynasty.

As for directly copying names like KFC, McDonald’s, and Dexters, it will fall into the lower class. Modern people may know what this shop does when they hear it, but ancient people will be confused when they hear it. What does this KFC sell? ?Do you sell insoles?

Therefore, Li Chaosheng decided to localize and directly named it Jixiangji. The name is catchy, and from the name, you can tell what the store is for at a glance. .

The matter of the fried chicken shop seems to be a trivial matter, but he is not small. Over the years, secret agents have spent too much money, and a lot of it has been spent on these things of opening a shop and losing money, which makes Li Chaosheng very headache. The money should be used in more important places, so when Li Chaosheng saw ketchup, he immediately thought of a fried chicken shop.

This kind of low-cost, high-profit business is the correct way for Secret Service to expand. As for some people who say that a single product is a single product, a single product will never be a problem. Don’t talk about KFC, McDonald’s, etc., which have entered the new era. Shops that sell one thing are also very popular, such as Quanjude that sells roast duck, Roasted Meat Wan that sells roast meat, and Donglaishun that sells hot-boiled lamb. It can be said that as long as one thing is done well, the business will never be bad.

The implementation of the fried chicken shop plan can save the cost of Li Chaosheng's secret agent to the greatest extent.

Let me tell you about the secret spy department. The secret spy department is divided into two parts. One part is ordinary spy personnel who carry out daily spying tasks. Information, there are a lot of people in this part, and the information is very complicated. It needs to be provided to Lantian by category to see if it can help Lantian.

The other part is killer-level agents who carry out latent missions, internally called Ye Xiao, this part is the most formal spy in everyone's impression, carrying out latent, assassination, and other high-end tasks, this part is the most important part of the secret spy department , but the kite is also very important. After all, a lot of inconspicuous information is of great help to all walks of life in Lantian.

For example, where there is a lack of food this year, Lantian can organize a food team to make a profit. Where tea is cheap this year, Lantian can go to collect a wave. In addition to military missions, this part is more about commercial spying, which is to escort Lantian's business. of.

Of course, these people can also perform high-end tasks, but they are usually not used.

After solving the problem of the Secret Service Division, Li Chaosheng hadn't caught his breath yet, when Gu Zi came in and said, "Commander, Li Chaolong from the Military Department, Guo Bao from the Department of Government Affairs, Sun Dali from the Military Factory, Dean Song Yingxing from Lantian Institute of Technology, Chen Shigong, the dean of the medical school, and Li Chaowen, the principal of Lantian Primary School, are here, right at the door, and it seems that the visitors are not friendly."

Li Chaosheng smiled wryly after hearing this, "Come here to ask for money."

Gu Zi smiled wryly and said, "The silver brought back from Zhangjiakou filled the entire warehouse. Of course, these guys saw the smell of cats and were unwilling to leave."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "Let them in."

Gu Zi nodded, came to the door and opened it, followed by a group of people.

"Meet the county honor (commander)."

Everyone saluted Li Chaosheng. Li Chaosheng felt helpless looking at the group of guys in front of him. Don't look at these people smiling now, but when they ask for money later, their ugly faces can be seen at a glance.

Li Chaosheng glanced at a few people, then cleared his throat and said, "You guys are quite free today, why come to my place when you have time, Gu Zi, pour tea for you adults."

After hearing this, Song Yingxing was the first to say: "Xian Zun, I don't need tea. I'm here to report to the Xian Zun. The steam engine you let me develop has made great progress, and I'm currently overcoming problems related to locomotives. As for the technical content, you must support the county magistrate."

"Oh, so soon?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Song Yingxing in surprise when he heard this, and Song Yingxing said: "Well, if the locomotive project is successful, the application of steam engines on ships can be put into research, so at such an important moment for the county, we need your strong support. "

Li Chaosheng looked at Song Yingxing with a wry smile and said, "How much do you need?"

Song Yingxing stretched out five fingers, Li Chaosheng looked at Song Yingxing and said, "5 taels is not expensive, so I can transfer it to you."

"no no……"

Song Yingxing stretched out five fingers again and said, "Fifty."

"What fifty, fifty taels?"

Song Yingxing looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "50 taels."

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Chaosheng looked at Song Yingxing and said, "Great Inventor Song, are you crazy, 50 taels? How much money do you need to build a locomotive?"

Song Yingxing looked at Li Chaosheng when he heard the words, and said: "Master Xian, 5 taels of silver for a locomotive may be enough, but how can I do it with just a locomotive? I can't let the locomotive run on the ground, so I plan to build a railway, not far away." It’s enough to go to Xi’an, of course, this is the most conservative budget, if it’s not enough, you may need the support of the county magistrate.”

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Song Yingxing and said, "Mr. Song, can't you just build a small railway in school?"

Song Yingxing said: "Xianzun School is too small, the locomotive can't run, and many problems can't be found. This can't be saved."

Li Chaosheng smiled wryly and said, "I'll give you 30 yuan, half of the railway will be repaired, and we can get to Chang'an County. Xi'an City is not our territory in Lantian, so why not build a railway for them?"

"County Honor."

Li Chaosheng raised his hand to stop Song Yingxing and said, "That's it."

Song Yingxing saw that Li Chaosheng's mind had been made up and he couldn't get any more out of it, so he could only say reluctantly: "Your Majesty, you should pay attention to scientific research. You said that science and technology are the primary productive forces."

Li Chaosheng smiled and said nothing, thinking that you are right, but what you want is too harsh, and why did I say that in the first place.

"Xianzun, hehe..."

After Song Yingxing finished speaking, Sun Dali walked over with a smile and said, "The county lord has good news for you. I almost synthesized the thunder mercury you mentioned. In addition, the new artillery you mentioned is also being developed. The paper shell The bullet is also being developed, and I think it will definitely be harvested in the near future, and..."

"Stop, how much does it cost?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Sun Dali and said, Sun Dali said, "Don't worry, I'm not as bold as Mr. Song. I'll do with 30. I can use this money to upgrade the production line, reduce the production cost of grenades, and..."

"Stop, 20."

Li Chaosheng directly discounted it, and after hearing this, Sun Dali sighed and said, "Master, you should pay attention to the arsenal. You said before that every improvement in the arsenal can save the lives of countless soldiers. You have changed."

Li Chaosheng: (⊙o⊙)...

I was also a cheap talker at the beginning, why did I say this, Li Chaosheng was very annoyed in his heart.
