Chapter 275 Company Development
Nine o'clock in the morning, in Huang Wenfu's office.
“Ah~ha~~”
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you get enough rest yesterday? Or were you too tired in the past few days?"
Huang Wenfu looked at Huang Xu who was yawning in front of him with some surprise, then poured a cup of tea for Huang Xu and handed it to him.
He had never seen Huang Xu so tired since last year.
Huang Xu took the teacup handed to him by his uncle and drank it all. Then he rubbed his face to make himself sober, and then said helplessly.
"Isn't it that I didn't get enough rest? I basically didn't sleep yesterday."
"Not asleep? What happened?"
"Wasn't it just after ten o'clock when you arrived in Seoul?"
"It's true that you didn't come back too late, but there were a lot of things that happened yesterday, right?"
Huang Xu made a bitter face and told his uncle everything he could about his experience yesterday.
He had experienced a farce of coincidence yesterday, followed by a Korean-style midnight snack.
Sing, drink, play games, drink and sing again.
There were more than a dozen people in the apartment, and they played until about five in the morning, and they stopped when everyone was almost exhausted.
If it was just drinking, singing and playing games, Huang Xu shouldn't be so tired even if he stayed up all night.
The benefit brought by his rebirth makes his recovery ability so strong that it is not like that of ordinary people.
But she was bombarded by the other members of Girls' Generation all night yesterday. Now she can appear in front of her uncle soberly, which is already a rare talent.
You have to know that among the members of Girls' Generation, besides Sunny, the god of alcohol, there are several others who can drink more.
Especially Jessica Jung, who was knocked down by Huang Xu with rice wine a few days ago, her performance last night could be said to be like a god of war.
And apart from her, Yuri and Tiffany's drinking capacity can be said to be no worse than Sunny.
Even Xu Xian, the girl in the group, could drink more than Huang Xu expected.
Not to mention Yoona who is making a strong comeback in the later stages.
Huang Xu was able to withstand the repeated bombardment from several people, even the unequal bombardment, and now appeared in the company soberly, which was already an extraordinary performance.
Even if he didn't have a strong recovery ability and was able to excrete the alcohol quickly and in time, he would still be lying in the apartment, unconscious like Sunny.
There's nothing we can do about it, since yesterday's situation was a little special.
When he was besieged, he felt very unhappy and even wanted to get angry at one point, but he endured it in the end and quietly endured the siege of several people.
It's his fault that the things between him, Sunny and Goo Hara were exposed.
Although both parties involved in this matter had no objection and were willing to be with him, they were both Sunny's teammates.
So last night, when Huang Xu saw them attacking him in perfect coordination, he could only passively endure it.
However, thinking back to Jessica Jung who took the lead in the attack last night, Huang Xu secretly made note of her in his heart.
Huang Wenfu listened to Huang Xu's story with an expression of gloating on his face.
"Who told you to date two girlfriends at the same time?"
"Oh, I don't want to either!"
"Okay, stop being so ungrateful."
Looking at Huang Xu's arrogant expression, as his uncle, Huang Wenfu would not give Huang Xu any face.
But after that, he looked at Huang Xu with some worry.
"Xiao Xu, what are you going to do in the future? It will just keep going like this."
"Or do you want to choose one in the end and get married?"
"Well, let's leave it at that for now. We'll talk about it later. I don't have any other way to deal with this matter now."
After hearing his uncle's question, Huang Xu fell into deep thought and started to have a headache.
The current situation for him and them is indeed not easy to deal with, so they can only take it one day at a time.
It seems that he enjoys all the blessings, but no one can understand his difficulties.
They are still relatively young now, so these are not a problem, as long as they are happy.
But after a few years, when the three of them were about to get married, what should Huang Xu do?
Choose someone to marry?
But what should the other person do?
You know, Huang Xu has no intention of giving up on both Sunny and Goo Hara.
But now both China and South Korea practice monogamy, and there is no way to enjoy Ehuang and Nvying like the ancient people did.
Of course, he can also choose not to get married and remain single.
Then even if he has several girlfriends at the same time, it won’t be a problem.
At most, they would suffer some moral condemnation, but it would not involve any illegal issues.
Huang Xu had read a news report in his previous life about a boss named Xu from a domestic gaming company who lived with many women at the same time using the excuse of not getting married.
According to incomplete statistics, he even had more than a dozen children with several different women within a few years.
But even so, he was only condemned for being immoral and having a chaotic private life, and did not violate any legal issues at all.
After all, he is unmarried, and those women are just single women.
Moreover, this type of case is actually a normal phenomenon among the wealthy classes in various countries. It is a routine operation and is not worthy of curiosity.
Not only that, a famous legal expert in China also said this in his live broadcast.
As long as the two parties do not have a marriage certificate, it doesn’t matter even if he holds a wedding ceremony with two or even more women at the same time.
They will not be subject to legal sanctions, but will only be condemned on a moral level.
Huang Xu also wanted to handle it in this way at first, but after considering the identities of Sunny and Goo Hara, he put it aside.
His current situation is somewhat different from those people. Sunny and Goo Hara are both well-known idols in Korea and even in Asia.
Their every move is always being watched by someone.
It seems that he has been with them for more than half a year now, and their relationship has not been discovered by others, and the situation is very good.
But Huang Xu knew that this was just an appearance.
Not to mention those who are far away, there are already quite a few people who know about their relationship.
Not to mention the members of Girls' Generation who already knew about their relationship, people also knew about the two groups, Tara and F(x).
In addition to these closely related groups, people like Sunny's uncle Lee Soo-man and some employees of SM company should also know something about their relationship.
These people are not exposed now simply because there is no need.
But when the time really comes, the three of them will directly make the headlines of Korean entertainment news.
It may even cause a major earthquake in the Korean entertainment industry.
There is no way around it. Both Girls' Generation and KARA are relatively well-known groups in Korea and even Asia.
Their fame is not something that ordinary people can compare to.
Even before Huang Xu's rebirth, if a member of Girls' Generation was in love and their relationship was exposed, it would be able to become a hot topic.
That's why Huang Xu has such a headache now. Huang Wenfu looked at Huang Xu's painful appearance and said nothing more. He just shook his head helplessly and then helped Huang Xu fill a cup of tea.
"Okay, drink some more tea to wake up. You look miserable."
"But let me remind you, no matter how you solve it in the end, you must be nice to them and don't let them down."
"In our Huang family, there is no precedent of abandoning someone after having sex with them."
"Don't worry uncle, it won't happen."
"It better be this way."
Huang Wenfu looked at Huang Xu in front of him, and at this moment he felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
He vaguely remembered the scene when his brother dragged Huang Xu to see him when he went home to visit his relatives more than a year ago.
Looking back now, he could never have imagined that the boy who stood timidly behind his brother at that time would have changed so much in just one year.
Not only has his appearance changed from that dark and thin student to the tall, strong and well-dressed business elite now.
And most importantly, he actually helped me achieve a class leap.
Yes, they have now made the class leap.
In the past, Huang Xu and I were just low-level migrant workers who went abroad to work. We just wanted to save some money by relying on the exchange rate difference and company surprises.
And what about them now?
Although they dare not compare themselves with the many chaebol families in the country, compared with ordinary people, they are already super successful people.
Even if they retired now and did nothing in the future, the money they earned before would be enough for their family to live on for the rest of their lives.
It may even be enough money for the next life.
Therefore, after Huang Wenfu sighed a few words, he looked at Huang Xu with a serious expression.
"Xiao Xu, do you know why I called you back this time?"
"Because of what?"
Huang Xu had already drunk several cups of tea, and his mind gradually became clearer. He then asked Huang Wenfu curiously:
"Is it because of the issue of the Pickled Fish franchise?"
"Yes, that's it."
Huang Wenfu then asked Huang Xu with a complicated expression.
"Xiao Xu, do you know how many stores have confirmed they want to join the Pickled Fish franchise?"
"How many? Two hundred? Or three hundred?"
Huang Xu was also very excited at this time and was making guesses, trying to figure out the reason why his uncle called him back this time.
After hearing Huang Xu's guess, Huang Wenfu's expression did not change at all, but the news he revealed was shocking.
"More than 700."
"In the past two weeks, there have been 700 companies seeking our franchise approval."
"This is because we have high standards and we eliminated a lot of them. Otherwise, the number would probably exceed 1,000."
"Is this true? Are they crazy?"
Hearing this number, Huang Xu quickly put away his previous carelessness and then put on a serious expression.
"Uncle, is this true?"
"What do you think? If it weren't for this, would I have called you back?"
As Huang Wenfu spoke, he handed a stack of documents to Huang Xu.
"Look, these are all the information about people who are eager to join us."
"so much?"
Although Huang Xu was confused, he did not slow down his hands at all and quickly checked the contents of the document.
This news should have been a reason for celebration due to the huge number of franchisees, but it made Huang Xu feel a little scared.
Because the number was so huge, even he was a little scared.
If this number were to happen in China, he would not be afraid even if there were thousands or even tens of thousands of franchise stores, let alone hundreds of them.
But this is not China, but South Korea.
You have to know that South Korea's land area is not very large, and due to population restrictions, the number of catering stores in the country is actually only around 30,000.
The number of people who want to join their company has now reached a terrifying 700-plus, and if there are no restrictions, the number of stores could very likely reach thousands.
By comparing these two figures, we can understand what kind of impact it will have on the Korean catering market if Huang Xu really wants to open up franchising and has thousands of stores.
And now it's not just a matter of impact. It's very likely that their company will come into the sight of certain people, and then the problem will be more troublesome.
So after Huang Xu checked the information, he looked up at his uncle.
"Uncle, what do you think now?"
"My idea is that we should be cautious this time and not allow them to join."
"We need to strictly limit the number of franchisees. It's best to keep it at 200 to 300 stores, and preferably not more than 500."
"Otherwise, not only will these stores not be able to make money, but we may also be in danger."
"."
Huang Wenfu talked incessantly about his concerns, and at the same time, he was observing Huang Xu's reaction.
Although he is Huang Xu's uncle, he is just a manager who holds a small portion of shares in the company.
If Huang Xu really wanted to do something, he seemed to have no ability to resist.
Who made Huang Xu control more than 90% of the shares at this time?
Fortunately, Huang Xu seemed to agree with his opinions. He nodded repeatedly during his speech.
After he finished speaking, he directly affirmed his own thoughts.
"Uncle, there is definitely nothing wrong with what you think, and it is also the safest way."
"We should not drift this time. We must limit the number of people who join us, otherwise there will be big problems."
"And I feel like the 500 that uncle just mentioned is a bit too many."
"Uncle, don't forget, last time we had Malatang, there were already more than a hundred or two hundred restaurants."
"."
"Yeah, it's indeed a bit much."
"But it shouldn't have such a big impact, after all, it's just a chain store."
Huang Wenfu was very happy that Huang Xu agreed with his point of view, but he immediately became confused about the number of franchised stores.
After all, he came up with this number after careful consideration.
As a result, Huang Xu still felt that there were too many stores and wanted to continue to reduce them, which made him feel a little distressed.
"You know, if we have one more store, we will have considerable profits, and based on the current market size, I feel that 500 stores should not have much impact."
"Uncle, are you feeling a little distressed and reluctant?"
