Chapter 249 Every Bite Is at Ease (for Subscription)

At around 1:30 noon, Lu Dong saw off the invited guests, came out of the county guest house, and was about to return to the commercial street, when Wang Dong, who was small and big-headed, followed from behind.

Wang Dong greeted: "Lu Dong, go to the commercial street? May I let you go?"

Lu Dong glanced at Wang Dong's car, and said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll trouble you, Brother Wang."

Unlike before, now that he is a partner, Wang Dong speaks more politely: "The two of us are with whom."

Wang Dong drove, Lu Dong got into the co-driver, and the car drove out of the gate of the county guest house.

Du Xiaobing, Da Yiwan, Qiao Weiguo and others have already returned to the University City first.

"You don't think about buying a car?" Wang Dong said with a hint of reminder: "Riding a motorcycle all day, it's okay in our Qingzhao. Many people know you. You want to leave Qingzhao to go outside to discuss business. No A car will cause a lot of trouble."

Knowing that what he said was true, Lu Dong replied with a smile: "Recently, I have opened new stores one after another. My small company has spent too much money. Wait for a while, and I will definitely buy a car."

Society will only become more and more realistic, especially in the business field. Don't make things difficult or look down on others when you ride a motorcycle and wear big slippers to discuss business.

It is impossible for one person's power to be against the general trend of the whole society.

Lu's catering company will enter Quannan in the future, and it will be much more convenient to have a car if it needs to negotiate with the manufacturer for direct purchases.

Having said that, you can't blame others in this regard. If a company can't even do the simplest front work, no one can expect to be good at other jobs.

While driving, Wang Dong said, "The university town is on summer vacation, so it's a bit quieter."

Lu Dong answered, "Most of the students have to go home during the summer vacation."

"The Internet cafe in the university town can't be filled with people recently." Wang Dong talked about the recent situation: "Business is a little colder than before."

Lu Dong said: "It will be fine next month. By the end of August, people will come back. There will be more people in the university town, and residents in various communities are moving here, waiting for the affiliated primary and secondary schools to start."

Since the holiday began in early July, the turnover of Burger King and Lu's Malatang has also declined significantly. Fortunately, a large number of residents in the community have moved here, and the stores are not deserted. However, the turnover of the two stores has also dropped from the original minimum of 3 in a single day. Around 50,000, it dropped to less than 20,000.

After all, commercial companies have not yet moved in on a large scale, and the residents in the community are far from full. The impact of university holidays is still relatively large.

"I heard that more students will move here in the university town this semester?" Wang Dong knew that Lu Dong was very well-informed in the university town, and asked, "Are you sure?"

The two are now cooperating in business, and the investment is not small. Lu Dong said directly: "The School of Economics and the School of Finance have officially merged, and they will be relocated as a whole before September 1st to form a brand new University of Finance and Economics. The number of students in this school alone At least double the expansion. Other schools such as Normal University and Provincial University will gradually move more departments to the University City.”

He paused for a while, and then said: "Brother Wang, haven't you heard? This year, university enrollment has been expanded, and the number of enrollments in various universities is increasing. I heard that many technical secondary schools in Quannan will form several new colleges or universities, and then move to In a university town."

Wang Dong looked a little excited: "There will be more and more people in the university town!"

Lu Dong said: "Our business in the university town will become better and better in the future."

Wang Dong thought of something: "Shouldn't the new store in the Internet cafe in the university town open in the middle or late next month?"

"Okay." Lu Dong smiled: "Brother Wang, you can make up your own mind about these things, I don't really understand."

When it comes to running Internet cafes and game rooms, he is far behind Wang Dong.

Anyway, opening a new store in the university town does not need to go far.

Wang Dong asked: "Can you invite Director Yang to come over when it opens?"

Lu Dong thought for a while, then slowly shook his head: "Brother Wang, this industry is a bit special, we can make money safely and steadily, it's better to keep a low profile."

Thinking of what his brother-in-law told him, Wang Dong agreed, "That's right." He added, "Brother, there are more and more students in the university town. From now on, our basic market will be in the university city. After opening this new store, let's go to other places." The place is open, if you encounter any trouble, you can't stand by and watch."

"Of course, this is a cooperative business." Lu Dong vaccinated Wang Dong in advance: "Brother Wang, let's make it clear that there are many people in the store, and the firefighters must take care of it! Also, we must not do anything illegal. .”

Wang Dong laughed: "Needless to say! My brother-in-law will be the first to let me go if it's really messy! We can make money legally, so why go out of our way? Isn't that stupid?"

Lu Dong gave Wang Dong a thumbs up: "Brother Wang can see clearly."

The car came to the commercial street and stopped in front of the Hamburger Gate. Lu Dong got out of the car and went to the store. Wang Dong drove the car back to the university city to work on the new store.

With the new store opening before the end of the summer, there is still a lot to do.

Although it was after dinner time, there were still a large number of people coming in and out of the Burger King store. Lu Dong took a closer look and found that the customers who came were either teenagers themselves, or parents with children.

There is no doubt that these people belong to the main audience of western fried fast food.

Lv Dong went upstairs and downstairs, and the 230-square-meter store was still full of seats. Some of them inevitably occupied the seats to enjoy the shade, but these people may become consumers after staying for a long time.

People came into the store to order food one after another. On the basis of ensuring the quality of food and service at Burger King, Lu Dong emphasized the word "fast".

Quick ordering and fast pick-up allow consumers to enjoy meals as soon as possible.

This is the biggest advantage of fast food.

Then there is food safety, which is also a top priority.

In the store, there are clear promise slogans on many prominent positions.

"Burger King promises that every bite is safe!"

In a short period of time, Burger King will not have strong competitors in the county.

It was after 2005 that KFC and McDonald's entered Qingzhao County.

As for the university town, the market is much bigger than the county seat. Not to mention KFC and McDonald's, even if more catering companies flood in, this rapidly expanding market is enough to carry it.

Lu Dong is like an ordinary customer, looking around in the store, rarely speaking or doing anything directly.

Suddenly, near the playground area, there was a quarrel.

Lu Dong hurried over, and Miao Yu, who was the person in charge of the store, had arrived immediately.

It turned out that two children had a quarrel, and the six or seven-year-old boy knocked over the little girl's Coke cup. The little girl asked him to apologize, but the little boy quarreled with him. overthrown.

Then, the two children were arrested, and the parents who brought them also quarreled.

Miao Yu quickly calmed down the matter, and at the same time persuaded both parties, he whispered a few words to the waiter next to him, and the waiter hurried back to the bar.

When the waiter came back, Miao Yu gave each child a glass of Coke, and another gave a small gift.

The two children stopped arguing, and the parents also changed from cloudy to sunny.

Lu Dong nodded lightly. Miao Yu, the reserve store manager, has grown significantly after several months of training in the university town.

These are small things that happen in the store every day, but if they are not handled properly, the impact is very bad.

In the afternoon, when the customer flow was a little less, Miao Yu hung the recruitment announcement on the side of the store entrance.

Waiters in the catering industry are inherently highly mobile positions.

The salary of Lu's Catering Company is relatively generous, which is higher than the average level of Qingzhao's industry.

But it's only one grade higher. The company recruits employees for work, not uncles.

There is room for growth in salary grading. For more common positions such as waiters and even accountants, any smart people and companies will not offer high salaries as soon as they recruit them.

Song Na, wearing a sun hat, came in from the outside and saw Lu Dong sitting at a table for two near the door, and went to sit opposite him.

"Go to No. 1 Middle School?" Lu Dong asked.

Song Na took off her sun hat and said, "There are some deliveries. They arrive after one o'clock. No. 1 Middle School is on summer vacation. The store's business is not very good this month. It is estimated that the profit will be at most 800 yuan."

Lu Dong said: "It will be over soon. There are more than 1,000 students in the third year of high school. I heard that school will start in early August."

"When I was in high school, I was looking forward to a longer vacation." Song Na told the truth: "Now, I just hope that No. 1 Middle School will not have a holiday, and that classes will be held during the winter and summer vacations."

Lu Dong laughed: "The business of the store is good if there are students. This is called different positions and different views."

Song Na nodded slightly: "Your level has improved, and the book is not in vain."

Lu Dong said, "I work harder than when I was in school."

Before the holiday, as long as Professor Yang had a class, he would go to the Provincial University to attend, and Li Wenyue never stopped borrowing books from the Provincial University library.

Song Na and Lu Dong, who were classmates for three years in high school, can be said to know the basics, and said directly: "It is better to work harder than when you were in school, because you didn't work at all when you were in school."

Lu Dong was not embarrassed, and said, "There has to be a process."

Song Na stopped in moderation and looked at the watch on her left hand: "I won't tell you anymore, I'm going back to the university town, and there is yoga class at 4:30."

Lu Dong said: "Okay, you go back first, I will stay here today."

Song Na was about to leave, and asked, "Aren't you going to the University City today?"

"Not going." Lu Dong said, "I'll go home directly at night."

Song Na asked again: "Tomorrow?"

Lu Dong said: "Tomorrow, brother Zhao helped to contact the people in the logistics of the Provincial University, and took me to see the office. We need to have our own office as we expand."

Song Na said seriously: "Is there going to be another recruit later?"

"Take your time." Lu Dong nodded lightly, "Don't be too anxious."

Song Na smiled like a flower, wore a sun hat, and rode a motorcycle back to the university city.

After five o'clock, the flow of people in the store began to skyrocket again. The previous advertisements were in place, and many people in the county knew that there was a new store here.

Many people want to come and have a try.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that the customers gradually dispersed. Miao Yu stood behind the cash register and counted today's data through the system software.

Lu Dong patiently waited aside. The Burger King store in Qingzhao County opened on the first day, and he needed first-hand data.

A few minutes later, Miao Yu raised her head and said with a smile, "Today's turnover is 13,661 yuan."

"Not bad." Lu Dong nodded slightly: "Good start!"

There are so many advertisements, and there are various activities and gifts for the opening.

This store in the county seat will definitely decline in the later period.
