Chapter 285 Taeyeon? Come back with me tonight!
"You must come in the evening."

"Don't worry, Jong Kook, I will definitely go there in the evening."

Huang Xu stood at the elevator door, looked at Kim Jong Kook and the other person who were still reluctant to leave, and began to wave goodbye.

It was already noon, and more than two or three hours had passed since the two of them arrived here.

In fact, if Huang Xu hadn't chased them away, the two of them would have had no intention of leaving at all.

There's nothing we can do about it. Who made them so concerned about joining the music restaurant bar franchise?

But it’s no wonder they care so much.

As artists, both of them are already worth a certain amount of money, especially Kim Jong Kook. As the only two triple crown singers in Korean entertainment, he can be said to be a wealthy man in the Korean entertainment industry.

But no matter how rich you are, who can resist the further increase of their wealth?

The current chain franchise is an opportunity for them to continue to increase their wealth, so the two of them paid special attention to it and kept asking questions while Huang Xu was talking.

If Huang Xu didn't have something else to do, they could have kept Huang Xu chatting for the whole day.

And after it was over, we also invited each other to have dinner and drinks together in the evening and continue to talk about this topic slowly.

After watching the two men leave, Huang Xu returned to his office. At this time, his uncle was already waiting for him in the office.

"They left? Why didn't you invite them to have a meal before they left?"

"It's okay. I've already made an appointment to drink together tonight."

After Huang Xu explained, he looked at his uncle.

"Uncle, how many people have paid us now, and how many people have not paid yet?"

"I came to you because of this matter. Since the contract was signed a few days ago, the three hundred companies that signed the contract have transferred their money to me."

Huang Wenfu said this and handed the document in his hand to Huang Xu.

"This is the data from the past two days. Look at it. We now have more than 90 billion won in our account."

"How come they transferred the money so quickly this time?"

Huang Xu was not surprised that the company's account had more than 90 billion yuan. After all, he already knew this figure.

This time, the franchise fee for his pickled fish is still 100 million won, and these 300 stores will cost 30 billion won.

As for the extra 60 billion, it is the funds needed for the decoration of these shops, restaurant equipment and consumables prepared in the first phase.

But what he was curious about now was why these people transferred the money so quickly this time.

For their last spicy hot pot project, after the contract was signed, someone took a long time to transfer the money.

When Huang Wenfu heard Huang Xu's question, a smile appeared on his face, but he explained in a contemptuous tone.

"Isn't it because he is afraid that we will cancel his membership quota?"

"This time is different from last time. Last time we were newcomers. Although we were very famous online, many people still worried whether it would work."

"But this time it's different. Although we didn't use the Internet trolls to create hype and don't seem to be very famous, as long as people like them go to the store to take a look and consult the salesperson, they will know whether the store can be joined this time."

"And most importantly, I had someone leak it out, and now there are thousands of potential customers, so."

"I see. I was wondering why it was so fast this time!"

Huang Xu listened to his uncle's complaints, nodded in agreement, and followed Huang Wenfu's words with a complaint.

"As long as they are sure they can make money, their enthusiasm will be fully mobilized."

"And I feel like these people should have gone to our spicy hot pot shop to inquire about the situation. They know about the spicy hot pot shop's exaggerated ability to make a profit."

"Indeed, quite a few people went to inquire about the situation."

Huang Wenfu nodded to confirm Huang Xu's guess, and then sighed.

"Who would have thought that spicy hotpot would be so popular in Korea?"

He now also feels a little bit of the magic of reality.

As a Chinese chef who has worked in Korea for many years, I have to localize the dishes according to Korean tastes when preparing them.

And after the Chinese New Year, the only products that really became popular were fried noodles with soybean paste, sweet and sour pork, and fried dumplings.

As a result, the spicy hot pot made by Huang Xu became unexpectedly popular in South Korea.

It can't even be described as popular, but rather obsessive.

There are now more than a thousand shops of all sizes selling malatang throughout South Korea.

Even under this situation, several of their franchise stores are about to make back their investment.

Do you dare to believe?
It took only four or five months to invest in such a large store and I made my money back.

If he didn't know the authenticity of the data, he would have doubted the truth of this matter.

Generally speaking, for investment projects like this involving such a large amount of money, the official payback period is basically about one year.

And this is the official payback time. If we calculate the actual payback period, it may take one and a half years or even two years.

Suddenly a project appears that can pay back the investment in a few months. Basically, no one can resist being tempted as long as they understand and confirm its authenticity.

It’s just that last time, due to the problem of the number of stores, Malatang had basically closed its franchise channels.

There is no way. Although they only have more than a hundred Malatang restaurants, the number of stores selling Malatang outside is more than ten times theirs.

Now, if you walk in the streets of Seoul, you can see a shop selling malatang every few steps. The competition pressure is too great, so they gave up this project.

However, this time's sauerkraut fish franchise project is a little different from the last malatang one.

Although most Chinese restaurants can make sauerkraut fish, some can even make it taste better than Huang Xu’s.

But Huang Xu’s sauerkraut fish is really cheap this time.

For only 6,000 won, you can enjoy a fairly sumptuous sauerkraut fish meal, which can be said to be a very cost-effective meal.

If these people only need to understand it, they will definitely not give up this opportunity, which is why the current situation has occurred.

After knowing the reason, Huang Xu chatted with his uncle for a while, put down the report in his hand, and then asked his uncle.

"We are opening 300 stores at once this time. Can we handle it?"

"Don't worry, with the company's current strength, opening so many stores at the same time won't be a big problem."

In the face of Huang Xu's concerns, Huang Wenfu showed full confidence.

"You have to know that the whole company has been preparing for several months for the joining of Pickled Fish."

"If all three hundred stores can't handle the food, then all the work done so far will be in vain."

"Oh, you are so confident." "Of course I am."

Looking at the puzzled Huang Xu, Huang Wenfu began to talk about the work they had done in the past few months.

"I arranged for the marketing department to start preparation work several months ago."

Huang Xu listened to his uncle's explanation, and finally understood why his confidence was so strong.

First of all, the company’s employees have been collecting data from all aspects for several months.

Based on the map of South Korea, they visited several larger cities in South Korea and collected data on the number of permanent residents in each community and office building, as well as the division of the population, age group, and even income.

With these data, they will have much less trouble when helping franchisees choose stores.

You just need to look at their location and then query the company's database to directly determine the customer base around the store, whether their requirements can be met, and whether it is suitable for opening this sauerkraut fish store.

In addition to this, Huang Wenfu also provided decoration knowledge training to these salesmen outside.

With Huang Xu's full rental plan, business employees will be arranged to rotate when renovating the rooms, allowing them to learn some basic decoration knowledge on site.

In this way, when the store needs to be renovated, because these salesmen have a certain understanding of decoration, they can help them supervise the construction site, and there is no need for extra people to watch it every day.

Finally, he has established connections with many decoration companies, so he is so confident that he can decorate 300 stores at the same time.

After learning this, Huang Xu put aside his worries and said to Huang Wenfu.

"Then uncle will be very busy in the next month or so."

"What's the big deal about being busy? As long as I can make money, none of this matters."

Huang Wenfu waved his hand and directly indicated that these were not a problem, then looked at Huang Xu with some emotion.

"Besides, I never had the chance to be so busy before!"

"By the way, there is a lot of money in the company account now. What are you going to do with it?"

"Transfer it directly? Or..."

"We will first transfer part of it to the country, and then we will divide the rest into dividends."

“And dividends?”

Huang Wenfu looked at Huang Xu with surprise and some heartache.

"Although no one will limit the number of times a company can distribute dividends, if we distribute dividends, we will have to pay a lot of tax."

"Are you feeling distressed?"

Huang Xu looked at Huang Wenfu, and then continued speaking without waiting for his answer.

"I feel bad, but there's nothing I can do now. My current project needs money, and the problem now is that we can't not pay taxes."

"After all, it has attracted the attention of some people. If we don't pay taxes, it will really be a big problem."

"."

"Okay, I get it. So how much do you want this time?"

"Let me ask how much they need first, and we can discuss it later."

Huang Xu waited until his uncle left, took a short rest, and then called Chen Fangyi to start communicating with him about the advertising fees needed this time.

But Huang Xu was a little surprised by what Chen Fangyi said next.

"What did you say? Only four or five million is enough?"

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, these are data that have been confirmed many times."

"But how come it's so cheap?"

Huang Xu was a little confused at this time. How could it be so cheap?

You have to know that this time they are planning to launch the promotion in all major APP markets in China, how could it be so cheap?

Chen Fangyi, who was on the other end of the phone, was also very surprised when he heard Huang Xu's incredulous tone.

“There are things you don’t understand too.”

In his previous interactions with Huang Xu, Chen Fangyi discovered that Huang Xu was somewhat unlike a young man, as he seemed to know almost everything.

This put him under a lot of pressure when he was in contact with Huang Xu. Now he was somewhat happy to hear that Huang Xu had made some mistakes.

However, he did not say it out loud, but continued to explain.

"Boss Xu, you have been abroad for too long, so you may not be that familiar with the situation in China."

"There are only a few software markets in the domestic market. We only need to advertise in them and let our software appear on the rankings. This will be enough for current smartphone users to know about our software."

“There is no need for any particularly large or expensive publicity.”

"Is that so?"

After hearing Chen Fangyi's explanation, Huang Xu showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then slapped his forehead in distress.

"I forgot. This is not the previous life."

When he was reborn in his previous life, Internet traffic became extremely expensive. If he wanted to advertise, it would naturally cost a lot of money.

But he forgot that it was only 2013.

The domestic mobile Internet and smartphone markets are just beginning to develop, and they do not yet have a clear understanding of their own value.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the domestic smartphone market has just started and the overall market is still relatively small, and many people do not realize that they can make money.

However, Huang Xu still felt a little regretful at this time. Why didn't he confirm the promotion matter with Chen Fangyi first?
If I had known the cost of advertising at that time, I would not have had to wait for so many days until my sauerkraut fish franchise began to be launched before starting advertising.

He had thought that this promotion would require a lot of money?
As a result, he only needs a few million now, which is enough for him to spend in his domestic account.

After he and Chen Fangyi hung up the phone, he directly called Huang Chao who was still in China.

"Brother Chao, I need you to help me with something."

After giving instructions to Huang Chao and asking him to meet Chen Fangyi on his behalf and inject capital into the company, he said goodbye to his uncle and then started the company directly.

I first contacted Kim Tae-woo and asked him to find out about EXID's agency and see if I could get in touch with them privately to find out what conditions were needed to acquire this team.

Then he sent a message to Sunny, telling her that he was going to drink with Kim Jong Kook and others in the evening.

On the other side, Sunny, who was waiting backstage at a performance, saw Huang Xu's message, her eyes turned, and then she looked at Kim Taeyeon who was playing mobile games next to her.

"Taeyeon, come home with me tonight!"
