Chapter 143: Provincial Examination Results Announced
Shopkeeper Xu's suggestion coincided with Su Wan's idea, but she had other ideas.
"I'm going to open a medical clinic in Fucheng. I have to hire people to take care of it. I don't have much time to manage it. If we open a branch, we won't have enough manpower and we need to do everything by ourselves. You are already too busy to manage this restaurant. Well, I have another idea."
Su Wan raised her chin toward the stairs and said, "Go upstairs and talk in detail."
Shopkeeper Xu immediately took Su Wan to the third floor. Guests were not allowed on this floor.
The two of them sat at the table. Shopkeeper Xu poured a cup of tea for Su Wan: "Do you have any good ideas?"
"We will join others." Su Wan took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote the words Zuixianglou at the top: "I will try my best to develop some new recipes, dishes and snacks that other restaurants do not have, taste, service We must do our best and the price is suitable for ordinary people to consume, so that the customer base will be larger.”
"If anyone else wants to join us, the franchisee must contribute 60% or more of the capital. All personnel required for the branch will be the responsibility of the franchisee. The management rights belong to them and they must accept our unified management."
"For example, procurement, price strategy, dish configuration, store decoration, and personnel management are all implemented in accordance with the standards we have set."
"They send the people they hire to us for training. Only after they are qualified can they go into business."
Su Wan explained the franchise rules in detail while teaching shopkeeper Xu how to develop franchisees.
"I only came up with this idea recently, and many things are not perfect. It still needs to be carefully considered and some details planned. You'd better hire more cooks and stewards. We have specially trained them and can let them go to branches to teach their experience in the future. "
Su Wan has never joined a franchise before, but has only been exposed to it through hearing and seeing, so he still has to explore many things by himself.
"How to calculate the money?" Shopkeeper Xu cares about this the most.
"The commission will be based on the total amount of their business."
Shopkeeper Xu nodded in understanding, but he also realized that if they ran the business well, it would be easier than opening a branch themselves. If you want to open restaurants all over the Zhou Dynasty, it is almost impossible in this life. According to Su Wan's concept, it can be completed within ten years!
Just the thought of their Zuixiang Tower being able to open all over the Great Zhou Kingdom, makes Shopkeeper Xu feel like he's been pumped.
"We have many businessmen passing by here. If someone asks about buying rice noodles next time, I will ask them if they want to join!"
"Do a good job!" Su Wan patted Shopkeeper Xu on the shoulder: "Hire someone first, preferably someone with good moral character."
Shopkeeper Xu's face froze, thinking of all the chefs who had been poached by the Flavor House in the restaurant, he curled his lips and said, "I'm not sure about people. When the time comes to hire someone, you can take a look at it."
"Okay." Su Wan agreed.
Shopkeeper Xu took out the account book and gave it to Su Wan: "This is last month's turnover. This month is only more than half over, and it has already exceeded last month."
When Su Wan looked at the numbers, her heart beat a little faster. This...is this too much?
The net profit in the first month reached six thousand taels.
This month has exceeded 10,000.
Su Wan felt that her career was relatively successful and she was now a rich woman.
"I'll make two new dishes later."
Su Wan felt as if she had been given a shot of blood and was full of energy.
She originally wanted to go to the medical clinic earlier, but the money in the account ignited her enthusiasm, so she stayed in the restaurant to teach Jiang Baiwei and the others new dishes, and stayed in the restaurant to cook for a whole afternoon.
It wasn't until midnight that the restaurant became quiet. All the people who worked in the morning took a rest, while the other group of people continued to be busy preparing ingredients for the evening.
Su Wan brought the draft she had made when discussing the franchise with Shopkeeper Xu, preparing to go home at night to continue improving it, and quickly headed to the medical clinic.
The business of the medical clinic is also very good. There is a long queue of patients and the medicine boy is also very busy.
Su Wan washed her hands and helped diagnose the disease together.
After sitting down, Su Wan never got up, and she didn't even have time to drink water. She also drank less water. When she was thirsty, she took a sip to moisten her throat so as not to run to the toilet.
It was not until dark that Su Wan saw the last patient. Her neck was stiff, her back was sore, and her butt hurt: "This stool is too hard. Let's get a soft cushion."
Doctor Zhou also looked tired, "Okay, let's have someone go to the embroidery building tomorrow to have a look."
Su Wan stood up with her hands on her waist, washed her hands, and drank a large glass of water: "Are there so many people in the medical center every day?"
"Yes, after your reputation became public, you were very busy every day. I hired two more doctors and divided them into two groups. One group of people stayed for six hours, and left one person at night to deal with emergencies. "Trouble." Doctor Zhou slapped his waist: "Xinglin Workshop is on the right track. Everyone consciously goes there to place orders, which saves me a lot of trouble."
"Guangrentang imitates our wound medicine and sells fake medicine to the people to cause trouble. I will take over Guangrentang and replace it with Xinglin Medical Center. You can continue to hire doctors and medicine boys. If you are willing to stay in Fucheng, you will be paid generously. We will treat them badly." Su Wan sighed: "The root cause of the emergence of counterfeit medicines is that our shipments are too small. If the workshops in Fucheng can be popularized, every medical clinic and pharmacy will have them. If you can buy it, no one will spend their free time to fake it.”
"Are you going to hire someone to manage the medical clinic in Fucheng?" Doctor Zhou frowned: "You still need to find someone reliable."
Su Wan had one candidate in mind, and that was Wang Dong, who stood up for her when the Guangrentang incident happened. This man had a sense of justice, hated evil as much as hatred, and was not the kind of person with evil intentions.
"I know what's going on." Su Wan rubbed her swollen forehead. In the end, her foundation was too weak. Like those aristocratic families, they had a group of people of their own. The managers of each shop were all servants or apprentices. If she wanted to do something, she had to recruit people temporarily.
However, with money to turn around, she was not afraid of not being able to hire people.
Doctor Zhou showed Su Wan the account book. The profit was even better than that of the restaurant. He was no longer afraid of lacking money.
Even so, Su Wan still did not dare to slack off. She was sailing against the current. If she did not advance, she would retreat.
Su Wan waited for the time for the announcement of the results, went to Yanzhi Pavilion, and then soaked in the workshop to develop special medicine for typhoid fever, as well as skin care products and natural, additive-free powder and lip balm.
The day before the results were announced, Su Wan tested the efficacy of the typhoid medicine and found that it met expectations. In order to facilitate taking, she made pills. She arranged for the workshop to make a small amount of ten bottles and put them in Xinglin Medical Clinic for use. If there were no side effects, they could be put into use in large quantities.
Su Wan took the skin care products and powder back to Xinghua Village, ready to try them out herself. If there were no problems, she would give them to Manager Jiang.
When she returned to Xinghua Village, it was already late. Su Wan washed her face, mixed the powder in a bowl and applied it on her face. After a quarter of an hour, she washed it clean, applied the skin care products, and fell asleep on the bed sleepily.
In a daze, her nose was itchy, and Su Wan sneezed and woke up with her eyes open.
The two little guys squatted beside the bed with sad faces, holding a piece of hair in their hands, which was the tool for committing the crime.
"What's wrong?" Su Wan rubbed his nose and sat up. The sun was shining outside, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon: "Aren't you going to the academy today?"
Gu Jingyun pouted: "Sister-in-law, the results will be announced today."
