I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 492 Chapter 293-294: Pingguo's worries! (4000 words)
A daily turnover of 4000 yuan?

Gao Huaijun was a little surprised when he heard this.

Because he heard from Shang Yayan that this store did not do any advertising in the past two days due to lack of experience, and its daily turnover was around 2000 yuan.

That means that in recent days, the daily turnover has exceeded 6000 yuan!
By this calculation, with the increasingly popular trend, it is easy to have a monthly turnover of more than 100,000.

That’s millions of dollars in turnover per year!
This is indeed an exaggerated thing for a woman with no business experience.

You know, for a small shop like this that is only about ten square meters, the rent is generally not very high, unless it is in a prime location in Shanghai or Beijing. The monthly rent for a store is about 5000 to 15000 yuan. If it is higher, it is actually quite dangerous. If it is lower, the natural traffic of the storefront will be very low. It may seem low, but in fact it is doomed to fail.

But even so, with the addition of labor and decoration depreciation, as well as material costs, the cost per month is at most 3 to 4 yuan.

A store with an income of millions or even more is indeed an exaggerated existence.

If things go well, they can open more than ten or twenty stores in a row. Not to mention more, it is more than enough to ensure that Shang Yayan and her parents have a good life.

"It looks very good! What are your plans for the next step?" Gao Huaijun asked casually.

"We haven't even broken even yet. We have hired two R&D personnel, both of whom are in the food industry. We will continue to expand and make our products more diverse."

"Also, I haven't decided yet whether to continue direct sales or franchise. But already there are some franchisees who want to join us."

Shang Yayan said happily on the side.

So soon, a franchisee came to our door?

Gao Huaijun was shocked when he heard Shang Yayan say this.

Now it seems that the brand appeal of Cha Yan Yue Se is far stronger than he imagined!

The idea he gave to Shang Yayan now was not the idea of ​​Cha Yan Yue Se in his previous life around 17 years ago, but more of a product system that had undergone several years of improvement and had become well-known in the market.

Coming to this era when coco milk tea was being sold at will a few years ago, this is definitely a dimensionality reduction attack.

In this era when the tea beverage market is still a blue ocean, it is normal for franchisees to smell something different.

“Don’t join the franchise yet.”

"We are not short of money. You should start by opening up the direct-sale store in Xicheng."

"For the first year, we will just run this store well and not expand. We can hire more people to prepare for the next expansion."

"We will expand by 1-2 stores in the second year, and 3-4 stores in the third year, and we will expand slowly at this speed."

“Once we have ten seed stores, we will expand rapidly.”

"Now that the foundation has been laid, if you don't have external funding for subsequent expansion, I can use my own personal money to expand for you."

Gao Huaijun said calmly.

Shang Yayan quickly nodded in agreement.

This store, although she is executing.

But she knew that Gao Huaijun was the real manipulator behind the scenes.

She also knew that now that Cha Yan Yue Se was truly launched, it could be quickly replicated and increased in value.

Although in terms of late-stage potential, it cannot compare with the Hillhouse Group.

But this is an industry that belongs to you alone, so you naturally need to cherish it.

After all, this will be the greatest support for her and her son in the future.

Feng Xiaochen, who was standing by, looked at Gao Huaijun in shock again.

What he meant by using my own personal money is the funds that can be flexibly used by slowly separating them out through assets such as Hillhouse derivatives and Hillhouse properties.

Gao Huaijun is so nice to Shang Yayan!

She felt a little jealous after hearing this.

"Two people in the R&D team is still a little too few. We need to have a big picture and hire more people to maintain a certain level of new product development, constantly eliminate unsalable products, replace them with new products and continue trial and error."

"Also, the analysis software you bought is too outdated. Its analysis of capital flows and products is still the same as that of the last century. I'll ask Min Weiguo to make you a new one. It won't cost too much, and you don't need to recruit a new team."

After thinking for a moment, Gao Huaijun felt that he should help to the end, so he asked Min Weiguo to do it.

You know, it would cost hundreds of thousands to make such a small analysis software and modify it using Hillhouse's internal financial analysis software.

But for Gao Huaijun, this was just a piece of cake.

Now we can see the benefits of creating a large R&D complex.

Others work hard and spend millions on something, and even after spending millions they still cannot get it right, but Hillhouse, relying on its huge human resources advantage, can get it done very easily.

And it can be even better!

The word "surprise" could no longer be used to describe the look on Shang Yayan's face.

But she knew very well that she could not order Min Weiguo to help her make a customized analysis software for milk tea.

This kind of product has very few users. If it was made by an ordinary software company, the price would be too high.

But if it is produced by Hillhouse Technology’s professional software department, the price will be a completely different concept.

It is estimated that it only takes a few engineers a month to make this little gadget.

But how can you concentrate on such professional and experienced engineers as Gao Ling?

"Dad is so awesome!" Gao Hongyu, who was standing aside, seemed to notice a hint of moisture in his mother's eyes. He was quite good at observing people's expressions and happily said while hugging Gao Huaijun's neck.

Gao Huaijun was also quite proud.

If it were in his previous life, let alone opening a milk tea brand for Shang Yayan, he would have even used up all the analysis software. It would have been difficult for him to even support his family to open a small shop.

But now it’s different. As one of the richest men in China, it would be too easy for Shang Yayan to start her own business with just some money!
"This is what you deserve. You've worked hard to take care of this little guy, Gao Hongyu." Gao Huaijun said as he rubbed the little guy's head.

Shang Yayan was also very lucky and gave birth to a boy as her first child, which made Gao Huaijun's mother immediately shut her mouth about letting him get married.

So no matter from which angle, Gao Huaijun must reward Shang Yayan.

This is not only a promise, but also a hint to the people around you!
If you do it right, I will reward you. If you do it wrong, I'm sorry.

"It's not hard. Huaijun, you are so busy at work, this is what you should do." Shang Yayan and Gao Huaijun knew that this was not the place to talk, so they got in the car and drove to the small villa where she lived. She now lives in a single-family villa community by Taihu Lake, which is very quiet, and Gao Huaijun will come over occasionally.

. . . . . .

At this time, Kuko, the president of Pingguo Company, took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily.

In his hand, he held Hillhouse's latest Mate phone.

After carefully examining Hillhouse's most powerful flagship model for a long time, he put the phone back on the table.

"Man, what's wrong with you? This is not the true side of our elegant and capable Tim Cuoco!" At this time, a laugh came from behind him.

As he spoke, an old white man came into Kuko's office with a bottle of whiskey.

Originating from Jobs' engineering culture, Pingguo Company has never had much of a hierarchy.

The key is that this guy also likes to drink a little wine.

This is why the company's senior executives all have the practice of having a drink while chatting.

"This is a niche whiskey brand called Ledaig, which belongs to the Tobermory distillery in Scotland. This small distillery was built in 1798 and is a very old distillery." The old white man was Steve Wozniak, one of the three founders of Pinguo Company. He was the only one who could bring a bottle of whiskey to Kuo Ke's office without restraint.

You know, Kuko has no habit of drinking.

"I knew you would like this, there's really nothing I can do about it." Kuco smiled bitterly, then obediently went to the wine cabinet to get a wine glass.

"As a peat whisky lover, I have been paying attention to the Ledaig brand for a long time. Its malt retained phenol value reaches 35ppm. The regular Ledaig 10-year-old has an alcohol content of 46.3%. It is non-cold filtered and does not add caramel color. From the perspective of various process indicators, it is similar to the "popular superstar" Ardbeg Ten on Islay."

“It tastes cool, dry, and bland, which is a bit disappointing, but it’s still very good.”

Wozniak and Kuoco had a drink while talking.

"Have you encountered any problems recently?" After Wozniak and Kuoco finished their drinks, he sat casually on the sofa nearby.

As one of the three founders of Pingguo and the only one who has stayed in Pingguo so far, Wozniak will support Kuoko to varying degrees.

Otherwise, in this huge and complex company, as an executive president, Kuco would have no power to command this bunch of bosses.

Like many large companies, Pingguo is now suffering from big company disease.

This disease manifests itself differently in different companies. In other companies, it may be management chaos, etc., while in Pingguo, it may be a lack of innovation.

In Pingguo Company, whether it is R&D, marketing or sales, everyone knows that a certain product is the trend of future market development. However, the decision-making chain is too long and many meetings, large and small, are held without any effective action plan to be implemented.

Then, everyone watched helplessly as Hillhouse Capital and other newly emerging electronic technology companies, which were originally inferior to Pingguo Company in technology and R&D, slowly surpassed Pingguo Company in related market areas.

Hillhouse basically has a very flat project responsibility system.

Each project team is responsible for its own project.

There is no opportunity to eat from the same pot at all.

When a process comes to Gao Huaijun, he requires that each responsible person must complete the process within 12 hours, and each person needs to write down his or her own relevant opinions on each process.

No paddling allowed for everyone!
If Gao Huaijun meets middle and senior management who are slacking off.

There is only one consequence: immediate dismissal!

Therefore, even the long journey to Gao Huaijun's place can be completed in less than 3 days.

Even so, Gao Huaijun still complained that the process was too slow.

It was only after Min Weiguo's desperate efforts that the current process system was confirmed.

It takes you a month to go through the process in Pingguo. How can you compete with Hillhouse?
A company like Pingguo must have a set of effective management systems and corporate culture that are even learned and referenced by other companies.

However, when it comes to innovation, these mature management systems and corporate culture may become stumbling blocks.

What's more, management systems and corporate culture are not static, but are adjusted with time and market changes.

In Pingguo now, Kuko has made major surgical adjustments.

Lack of confidence!

This is actually a problem faced by many large companies in the United States, such as Cisco, Inter, etc.

From a certain perspective, this kind of virus implanted in a large company is basically unsolvable unless it is managed by a founder and soul figure like Gao Huaijun!
"Liaoning's current mobile phone products not only have very good signals, but also use their own batteries, which are very durable and have very good heat dissipation. We have to admit that Pingguo is far behind Hillhouse in the field of research and development!" Kuco picked up the Mate 10 phone again and handed it to Wozniak.

Wozniak put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the Mate 10 phone carefully.

He tried to open it and play with it for a while. "It is really good. Although the UI animation of Pingguo mobile phone is smooth, the self-closed system and self-developed processor are particularly good, this product is not bad in comparison."

"I never thought that Chinese mobile phones, from their stunning appearance at the beginning, are now gradually catching up in terms of quality."

Wozniak's face was quite solemn at this moment.

"Bingo!"

"bingo!"

"Our R&D team can't continue like this!"

"Compared with the Pingguo mobile phone in 2014, our products have not changed much. I even suspect that the people in the R&D department are getting paid for nothing," Kuco said angrily.

Although we now have an advantage in the North American market, we also have an advantage in the European market.

However, the Chinese market is now losing ground!

In fact, it is now ranked last among the TOP5.

This was completely unimaginable before.

Pingguo Company is undoubtedly the No. 1 enterprise in any region!

Kuko saw the decline of Pingguo mobile phones in the Chinese market, and he did not want this downward trend to reach a level that would seriously affect other markets.

"OK, I understand what you mean, Kuco. What kind of support do you need me to give you?" Wozniak rubbed his eyes and said tiredly.

Now that Pingguo has become like this, it is really a headache for him.

It is indeed as Kuko said, without making any changes.

No way!
