Peninsula Landlord

Chapter 512 Brother, how should we choose?

"That's true, but how do we solve this problem?"

“These problems don’t seem to be so easy to solve.”

Although Huang Xu spoke very confidently and both of them believed in Huang Xu very much, Kim Jong Kook and Ha Dongxun looked at each other and were still a little worried.

Yes, their main job is artistes, and they really don’t understand some things in the business world.

But they knew that the problems Huang Xu mentioned were really difficult to solve.

Not to mention other things, just the fact that they have been running this music pub for more than half a year has made them feel the difficulty of this kind of thing.

In order to manage this store, Ha Dong-hoon and Park Geun-sik worked so hard that they had to ask Kim Jong-kook for help before they could barely hold on.

If there are many more stores at once, and they are franchise stores.

The difficulty of this management is terrifying just thinking about it.

And if these problems are really easy to solve, then why didn't Huang Xu do it in his previous franchise stores?

However, Huang Xu confidently extended two fingers amid the worried and puzzled looks of the two men.

"I now have two solutions, both of which can solve the problems I just mentioned."

"Now it depends on which one you choose?"

"Two methods?"

"Can those problems be solved?"

Kim Jong Kook and Ha Dong Hoon looked at the finger Huang Xu extended, and the shock on their faces could no longer be concealed.

They were so worried about this matter just now. After struggling for a long time, they finally made the painful decision to give up rapid expansion and making big money.

As a result, Huang Xu now says that he has two ways to solve this problem.

This made the two of them feel a little uncomfortable.

Is the difference in their IQ so huge?

Or is it that the two of them are really not suitable for doing business?

Looking at the two people's doubtful expressions on their faces, Huang Xu felt quite happy and proud.

It is true that showing one's power in front of others is not limited by time or place.

Of course, he didn't show any of this, but began to tell the story in front of their dull eyes.

"The first method, or the first form of cooperation, is for us to jointly invest with them and build the store together."

"Of course, since we are the brand owner, we also have to calculate fees and shares for brand licensing."

"In this way, we may only have to contribute a small part of the capital, such as 10%, and with our brand and management team, we can get the majority of the store's equity."

"Then the right to speak naturally needs to be in our hands."

"In this way, most of the problems I just mentioned can be avoided."

"This is good, this is good."

After listening to Huang Xu's story, Kim Jong Kook had no reaction yet, but Ha Dongxun just clapped and cheered.

In fact, this form of cooperation is not really new. He has seen many similar forms of cooperation before.

After all, he has been running a shop for many years and has met many colleagues who also run shops.

Among them are celebrity artists as well as ordinary small bosses.

But they all have one thing in common: when opening branches or joining franchises, they do not systematically consider brand issues.

At most, they can use manpower, experience, or secret recipes to gain a larger share and pay less money.

As Huang Xu said, they only need to pay very little money to gain control of the store.

This seemed to open the door to a new world for him, letting him know that he could play this way.

However, before he could get excited for a few seconds, Huang Xu poured a bucket of cold water on him again.

"But this is not without its drawbacks. If a partner wants to cause trouble, then even if he has a relatively small say, there will still be certain risks."

"After all, he is one of the bosses and has the power."

"Ah~~, what should I do then?"

Hearing Huang Xu say this, He Dongxun's excited face immediately revealed a frustrated expression.

Huang Xu was slightly stunned when he saw He Dongxun's reaction. He didn't expect that his emotions would change so quickly after he finished speaking.

It was as if he had given up thinking for himself and just followed Huang Xu's rhythm mindlessly.

Kim Jong Kook, who was standing next to him, also noticed that something was wrong with Ha Dong Hoon, and quickly kicked him lightly under the table to remind him to be more careful.

As Ha Dongxun's elder brother, he felt a little embarrassed when he saw his younger brother behaving so poorly in front of Huang Xu, as if he were a child.

After all, this is not only embarrassing for him, but also a loss of face for himself.

After being reminded by Kim Jong Kook, Ha Dongxun instantly came to his senses and felt his face getting a little hot.

He didn't expect that he would have such a violent reaction to Huang Xu's words.

Thinking back to his performance just now, he felt a little embarrassed.

Then he gave Kim Jong Kook a grateful look, quickly picked up the teacup and took two sips of tea to ease the embarrassment.

When Kim Jong Kook saw Ha Dong Hoon's awkward busyness, he didn't care and looked at Huang Xu and said.

"Xiao Xu, your idea is really good. This way, we can control the right to speak. It seems to be able to solve many problems and it is also much safer."

"So what's the other method you mentioned?"

“Does it have disadvantages?”

"Of course, Jong Kook, what are you thinking about?"

"There is no perfect method in the world. Even if there is, I don't know it."

"All we can say is that we can only try to choose methods with fewer disadvantages, and then try to reduce the risks through subsequent efforts."

Huang Xu looked at Kim Jong Kook in surprise. He didn't expect Kim Jong Kook to ask such a question.

Kim Jong Kook's face also turned red, looking a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Huang Xu did not care about his problem, but started the second method directly.

"As for the second method I mentioned, it's actually very simple, just like the joint operation I just mentioned, but it's a step further."

"We don't give franchisees the right to operate and manage. We manage everything. They only have the right to pay money and receive dividends."

"Will this really work?"

Seeing that Huang Xu didn't care about his problem and started to explain the method directly, Kim Jong Kook also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he still had some doubts about what Huang Xu said, that he would only let people pay money but not be allowed to manage or operate the business, and only had the right to dividends.

Is there really anyone who would agree to such an excessive request?

You have to know that they also paid money, so naturally they need to get the corresponding right to speak. And he was not the only one who had doubts in this regard. After calming down, He Dongxun also began to think about the method Huang Xu said.

Like Kim Jong Kook, he was skeptical about the feasibility of this method.

After all, this really goes against the business model he understands.

However, Huang Xu seemed very calm in the face of their doubts.

In fact, this business model was not created by Huang Xu, but was learned from a domestic franchise company.

He didn't know whether this model was relatively new or rare in Korea, which made the two of them so confused.

But for China, this business model is already very mature, even rampant.

For example, Yum! Brands, a very well-known catering company in China, has been trying this business model since the 1990s.

Of course, if you just mention the name Yum! Brands, many people may not know much about it.

But when it comes to the restaurant brands he operates, KFC and Pizza Hut, I believe most people are familiar with these two names.

Yum! Brands has the exclusive operating and authorized rights for these two companies in China. If you want to open these two stores in China, you must contact them.

In addition to these two brands, he also owns national chain restaurant brands such as Little Sheep and Huang Jihuang.

It can be said that in the field of brand operation and catering franchising, his company is one of the top companies in China.

After so many years of operation, they have proved that the feasibility of this model is really good.

And they have come up with more tricks based on this.

In addition to them, there are many catering companies that also use this routine, such as Juewei and Zhou Hei Ya, which sell duck products, they also use this model.

In addition, in addition to the catering industry, some stores in other industries are also operating using this model.

For example, HaiLan Home is a brand that I looked down upon when I was in school, but after I started working I found it really great.

They also use the franchise hosting model.

In other words, the investing boss only needs to invest money, and he doesn’t have to worry about the rest. The opening of the store, the management and operation in the middle, all of these do not require the investing boss to do anything.

All they have to do is stay at home and wait to get paid.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that they have no permissions at all. They will still be given permissions to query the store’s operating data.

And one or two employees will be given training opportunities, so that his relatives can work in the store after training.

In short, this business model is already very mature, and there are ready-made cases for reference and learning.

Kim Jong Kook and Ha Dong Hoon were also dumbfounded after listening to Huang Xu's story.

They did not expect that the business model that they thought was very unreliable, or that no one would choose, was actually very common in China.

Of course, if it was just Huang Xu's simple narration, they might still be a little skeptical.

But who asked Huang Xu to give so many examples when he was telling the story?
In particular, the examples he mentioned include KFC and Pizza Hut, two global restaurant chains.

For a company of this size, it is relatively easy to look up their relevant franchise information and business model, and it is impossible for Huang Xu to falsify it.

This forced the two of them to believe the authenticity of what Huang Xu had just said.

But at this point, there is one last question.

"Xiao Xu, didn't you say there is no perfect business method in the world?"

“So what’s the flaw in this model?”

"If it has defects, why would such a large chain company still use it?"

"Don't they have a good solution?"

"Of course there are flaws, and the flaws are very serious for us."

Huang Xu was very happy to see that the two did not show surprise immediately after listening to what he said, but patiently asked him about their doubts.

In his opinion, this was a good thing, proving that his action of pouring cold water on others had played a certain role.

But this did not stop him from continuing to break the cold water.

Sure enough, when they just agreed on it, the two did not show any surprise, but when they talked about the defects, they still showed worried expressions.

Fortunately, this time Huang Xu started telling the story without waiting for the two to ask.

"Don't worry, brothers. The flaws of this mode are not caused by itself, but because we are not strong enough."

"To put it bluntly, this model is just using other people's money to open our own branches and then pay them dividends regularly."

"I won't repeat the advantages. I believe both brothers are clear about them."

"But the disadvantage is also obvious, which is that it requires a large number of people, especially management personnel with good business capabilities, that is, positive and negative store managers."

"We can recruit service staff and kitchen staff first and train them slowly, but it's not easy to find a qualified store manager."

"."

"Indeed, this problem is indeed fatal to us."

Ha Dong-hoon and Kim Jong-kook looked at each other, then smiled bitterly and nodded.

They have deep feelings about the problem of the store manager, or the management staff, that Huang Xu mentioned.

Although in the past six months, especially in the past two months, they would often go to the store to help whenever they had time, this cannot deny the role of Park Geun-sik as the store manager.

In fact, it is precisely because they often go to help that they can realize how lucky and rare it is to have a store manager they can trust.

Seeing that the two had understood what he meant and clearly realized the pros and cons, Huang Xu stood up and spoke to them.

"Okay, brothers, you should all be clear about my method. As for the pros and cons, you also know them."

"So which one are you going to choose?"

"Of course, you can also choose neither and stick to the choice you just made. Don't open up franchises, but slowly save money to open branches."

"us."

"Hey~~, Dongxun, don't be so hasty to make a decision."

"This matter cannot be rushed, and it cannot be settled in a hurry."

Huang Xu interrupted He Dongxun who was anxious to reply, and after comforting him, he spoke to the two of them.

"Brothers, please chat here slowly. I have something to take care of. Please wait for me here for a while."

"If you need anything, you can ask the front desk to prepare it for you."

After saying that, without waiting for the two to say anything, Huang Xu turned around and left his office.

Looking at Huang Xu's departing back, Kim Jong Kook and Ha Dong Hoon looked at each other, but had no intention of stopping him.

They knew that Huang Xu left on purpose to give them space to talk.

So after Huang Xu left the office and closed the door considerately, Ha Dongxun looked at Kim Jong Kook impatiently.

"Brother, how should we choose?"
