Chapter 74 Let's go out for a drink tonight

"How to say?"

Looking at Huang Xu's bitter smile, Huang Chao was a little confused and didn't understand why Huang Xu was like this.

"Brother, think about it. When we do business in a foreign land, shouldn't we be more careful and low-key? Even after reaching a certain scale, shouldn't we give back to society?"

"That's for sure. If business is good, there will definitely be people who will be jealous. Plus, I'm unfamiliar with the place, so if I don't build up my reputation, it will definitely not work."

“The principle is the same. We only have four stores now, but we have caused such a big commotion. And there will be 20 franchise stores to open next. The situation will be different then.

And this is just the first batch. When the second and third batches of franchise stores open, do you think there will be people coming?"

After hearing this, Huang Chao also understood Huang Xu's thoughts.

"Are you saying that we also need to cultivate reputation now?"

"Of course. If you don't do it now, it will be too late."

"Okay then, what should I do next? What should I do?"

Seeing that his cousin already understood the importance of the matter, Huang Xu expressed his thoughts.

"Well, it's very simple. Just go to the areas around Seoul and some places here."

In fact, what Huang Xu asked his cousin to do was very simple. He just wanted to find some less developed rural areas around Seoul, find local vegetable farmers, set up a purchasing company, and purchase some agricultural products such as vegetables from them.

There are many benefits to doing this.

First of all, the purchase price of the product will be slightly lower. After all, the middleman is eliminated, and it can also provide low-priced agricultural products to its franchise customers, reducing their costs.

Of course, if that were all, Huang Xu would be said to have gotten nothing in return.

His real purpose is actually for these farmers.

At this time, since there are relatively few stores, it is impossible to form any scale, it is just to reduce costs.

But what if his stores continue to increase?
When the number of stores reaches hundreds or even tens of thousands of stores, the amount of food consumed in these stores every day is not a small number.

By this time, behind his purchasing company, there will be thousands of farmers providing agricultural and sideline products.

Even when he opens more franchised products, the number of farmers under his management will continue to increase.

If he was fine, these farmers wouldn't be of any use.

But if someone really becomes jealous and wants to attack him, then these farmers who provide products will become Huang Xu's amulets.

The people here in Korea are different from those in China. If you really provoke them, they won't just shout and show support on the Internet.

They really will, directly "real" you offline.

Especially the Korean people prefer to hold marches and protests.

So when someone threatens Huang Xu and affects these people's jobs, their role comes into play.

The fighting power of these people is not something that ordinary people or companies can resist.

This is Huang Xu’s purpose, to find a talisman for himself.

At the same time, there is another benefit, which is to improve your social favorability in normal times.

After all, South Korea is a complicated place. If someone with ulterior motives stirs up trouble, his chain store plan will be difficult to implement.

But if these farmers were here, the situation would be a little better.

Of course, these are just Huang Xu’s preparations for the future.

In fact, there is a most effective method, which not only does not require so much effort, but also can prevent many ambitious people from taking action.

Nip the danger in the bud.

That is to ask an American to be your white glove and cover your own business and behavior with the cloak of the United States.

Then he won't have to worry about this kind of thing happening in his franchise business.

But this white glove is not so easy to find.

First of all, the requirement is that the white glove cannot be a white person, at least he must have a certain background.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to control the situation.

Secondly, this person should not be too ambitious. It is best for him to just show up and not do anything, or even not come to Korea very often. Otherwise, Huang Xu is worried that he will take over the position and end up getting himself into trouble, which would be bad.

After all, I am a novice in business warfare and am not good at running or developing a company.

At most I can just give some advice or something.

However, it is time to put the issue of finding beautiful Chinese people to act as your white gloves on the agenda.

After the first batch of franchise stores opened, the second and even the third batch of stores were set up as soon as possible.

Otherwise it will be too late.

According to Huang Xu's memory, Kim Kwang-soo should get an investment next year to establish MBK Entertainment, which in turn acquired Tara's agency.

If he waits until then, it will be too late for him to take action.

Huang Xu was still quite envious of Tara and the others.

Once we get this kind of girl group with good looks and strong abilities, as long as they follow the development trajectory of the previous life, they will basically be a cash cow.

He doesn't want to miss this group now, let alone the opportunity to make a fortune.

But these are still plans for the future. Huang Xu’s most important task right now is signing the contracts for the first batch of franchise stores.

So in the next few days, he was busy dealing with signing-related matters.

At the same time, we are also looking for a suitable place for the new office space.

Now a group of people are still crowded on the second floor of the restaurant, working in a temporarily converted office.

Everything here is temporary; even his and his uncle's offices are simply renovations of the original private rooms.

Although the space on the second floor of the store is still sufficient to temporarily accommodate these people.

But they can't be here forever.

So after signing the agreement with the franchisee, he started looking for a new office space.

That day, Huang Xu braved the heavy snow and followed the agent to an office building.

After a brief tour, he immediately fell in love with this place.

Because the original company here broke its capital chain and went bankrupt less than a year after it was renovated.

Therefore, the decoration and furniture here are relatively new. If he moves his company in, he only needs to do a simple cleaning and buy some office supplies, and then he can use it directly.

The only problem is that the area here is a bit large, more than a thousand square meters, which is a bit too much for them now.

So he turned to the agent behind him and said:
"Everything else here is good, except that the area is a bit large. If I rent it by myself, the space is too big. If the owner can sublet it, I will consider this place."

"Mr. Huang, if you want to sublet this place, the landlord may not be willing. As you know, the landlord doesn't want to cause too much trouble, so this place can only be rented as a whole."

"The area is too large. If it cannot be sublet, then I won't consider it here."

Although this place is very suitable and he only needs to do some simple cleaning and replace the company culture wall before moving in, the area is too large and he cannot make full use of it.

Seeing Huang Xu was so determined, the agent quickly said:

"Mr. Huang, please don't worry. Let's go and communicate with the owner to see what he thinks. However, it will be difficult to find a house with such good decoration and complete furniture.

But I still have a few venues. If you are very concerned about the area, I will take you to have a look. The area there may be more in line with your requirements."

"Okay, I."

Huang Xu was just about to go see the next place with the agent when he heard his cell phone ringing, so he turned and walked away from the agent before answering the call.

It’s not his fault that he is so cautious, but because it was Sunny who called. He was worried that after he answered the call, it would cause some bad influence.

After all, Girls' Generation is so famous in Korea that he is afraid that he will affect them.

But just as he answered the phone and hadn't said anything, he heard Sunny on the other end of the phone excitedly say to him:

"Huang Xu, it's snowing outside, let's go out for a drink tonight."

　This is the first chapter of today, and the other chapter will be out around one o'clock.
