Chapter 73 If only things were that simple
Huang Xu was not very clear about the scene where Sunny was frantically questioned by several teammates after she returned to the dormitory.

However, when he saw the photo sent by Kim Taeyeon the next day, he still laughed out loud at the sight of Sunny being tightly locked by Yoona and Hwang Miyoung.

At the same time, I also put aside my worries about her.

After all, she has teammates around her to accompany her, so there shouldn't be any problem.

So in the next few days, although Huang Xu did not see Sunny, judging from her condition when she contacted him the next day, she had returned to normal.

She doesn't get angry often or anything like that, and Huang Xu even feels that she's a bit "clingy".

It’s just that Huang Xu is busy dealing with various affairs of the franchise store and did not notice the changes in Sunny at this time.

At the same time, he did not go to places like bars or nightclubs, but instead handled various affairs of the franchise stores in the newly renovated office upstairs from his uncle's restaurant.

Huang Xu knew before opening the store that joining a chain store would be troublesome, but he never imagined it would be so troublesome.

If it weren't for his uncle helping him take care of the chores, he would never have been able to finish all these tasks.

That day, he looked at the franchisee information sent by his uncle and cousin and couldn't help but have a headache.

Because their spicy hot pot has been so popular in Korea during this period, after they released the franchise information, many people came to them to inquire.

Now, there are more than a hundred profiles of franchisees who have passed the initial screening.

There is no way, because his franchise stores are not only very popular now, but the taste is also quite good and very much in line with Koreans' appetite.

At the same time, its fees are relatively cheap, and even compared with other franchise brands, the prices can be said to be relatively cheap.

Their franchise fee, brand usage fee and other expenses only cost 20 million won (about yuan).

Even if we include decoration, equipment, ingredients and other materials, the total investment will probably be close to 100 million won.

Adding in rent and employee salaries, the initial preparation costs to open this store would require at least 1.5 million won (about 80).

This fee may seem like a lot, but it was already Huang Xu's mercy. He didn't dare cut too hard with the sickle.

Otherwise, with this little money, don’t even think about opening an internet celebrity store in a world-famous city like Seoul.

After all, the prices and per capita income here are much higher than those in China.

The main reason he did this was that he didn't want to make a one-time deal. He also wanted to use this first batch of merchants as a model to attract subsequent franchisees.

After all, he doesn’t just make malatang.

There are thousands of delicious Chinese food. As long as you find snacks that suit Koreans' taste, just take out a few of them and you can impress Koreans.

By then, through online marketing, I believe that even if it cannot reach the popularity of Malatang now, it will be able to become a famous Internet celebrity food with a certain reputation.

With so many successful cases, people will not be so worried when paying to join.

Huang Xu can also harvest more merchants.

After all, even if it is a pig-killing scam, you need to lure the pigs in and kill them first.

And the most important thing, which is also the main reason why he opened this franchise store, is that he wants to make a certain profit from the price difference of materials purchased by these franchise stores.

This will give him enough cash flow to fill some of the gaps in the full rental plan.

After he finished reading the franchisee information sent by his uncle, Huang Xu said to his uncle:

"Uncle, let's select these twenty franchisees for the first batch. Once their stores are open and business picks up, we'll recruit the second batch." "Twenty stores? Xiaoxu, twenty stores are too few."

Huang Wenfu looked at the twenty stores selected by Huang Xu and felt that they were a little too few.

After all, after his screening, there were more than a hundred pieces of information sent to Huang Xu.

It can be said that these merchants have been inspected and found to have no problems before they were sent to Huang Xu.

As a result, Huang Xu only selected twenty companies, which was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.

"Let's choose a few more, Xiaoxu. You also know the habits of people in the catering industry. If we don't expand quickly, it won't be long before spicy hotpot will be everywhere. After all, the method of making spicy hotpot is not a secret to Chinese people."

Huang Xu looked at Huang Wenfu, who was more anxious than himself, and could only shake his head helplessly.

"Uncle, of course I know about this situation. I also want to open all of these more than 100 franchise stores. But now we are just starting to develop. Even these 20 stores are the maximum of our current capabilities according to my estimation. We can't support any more."

"Maximum?"

"Yes, uncle. Think about it. Each store needs equipment, decoration, and staff training. We are thankful that we can support these 20 stores now."

"This"

"And uncle, think about it, given the current scale, how much consumables are consumed every day, and how long it will take us to get them, these are all problems."

“Yeah, I haven’t thought about that.”

After hearing Huang Xu's explanation, Huang Wenfu also understood his difficulties.

At the same time, I also understood why only twenty stores were opened in the first batch.

"Then let's confirm these twenty stores, right?"

"Well, let's just take these 20 stores. Let's get these 20 stores done as soon as possible, and then we can continue to expand."

"Understood. I will be fully responsible for this matter during this period of time and try to get them open as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your hard work, uncle. By the way, uncle, if there are any good ones among you who are easy to use, you can also watch and cultivate them. I can't always catch you and use them."

"clear."

After seeing my uncle off, my cousin also stood up.

"Then Xiaoxu, I'll go help uncle. Now I see you guys are busy here, and I'm the only one who has nothing to do every day. This is not appropriate."

"No, Brother Chao, I'm going to have to busy you now, and your next task is more important."

Huang Xu quickly stopped Huang Chao from going to his uncle for help.

"Brother, you just heard it. There are nearly 20 new stores opening here soon. The daily consumption of food will not be a small amount, so you need to start getting busy."

"Xiao Xu, don't they usually buy their own ingredients? We don't have to buy them. We just need to provide the ingredients they don't have. What do I need to do?"

Looking at his innocent cousin Huang Chao, Huang Xu could only shake his head and say:
"Brother Chao, if only things were that simple."
