"Okay, Miss Tian, I have read your resume, and I can say that I am very impressed. So do you have any better suggestions for the future development of our celebrity chef manufacturing?"
The person opposite who was talking to her with a smile should be the big boss of the celebrity chef who has recently become famous. Tian Qing took a deep breath. She felt that she must seize this opportunity and leave a deep impression on the big boss.
impression.
"Xiao is always like this. I think the current business results of Celebrity Chef Manufacturing are very good, but the way of publicity is still a bit single in my opinion. Moreover, I have also researched the types of products produced by our Celebrity Chef Manufacturing before and found that there are also
There are some cases where the product is single..."
Not to mention, this Tian Qing is really talented. He didn't have any stage fright when he came up and talked eloquently in front of Xiao Feng, which made Xiao Feng very satisfied.
Celebrity chef manufacturing has developed to today's scale. Before the second investment conference, groupization and formalization were already the general trend.
Currently, the only key personnel employed by celebrity chefs are Zhou Jing and Xiao Lin, who were first recruited. Although they later trained a group of their own, these people are still relatively young and have been sent out by Xiao Feng to work as store managers across the country.
.
In his opinion, these people will need to train on the front line for several years before they can be promoted to the headquarters and serve as senior managers in various departments.
Nowadays, if celebrity chef manufacturing wants to operate as a group, it must bring in fresh blood from outside, especially people with management and business talents.
Zhou Jing and Xiao Lin are not very good at this. Zhou Jing is only a qualified manager. Due to the limitation of academic qualifications, his vision is relatively limited. His strategic vision is still lacking and he needs more experience.
Xiao Lin is still relatively young and needs more experience, so Xiao Feng thought of recruiting a different manager.
The Tian Qing in front of me is very suitable. After all, he has worked in Kaifeng Cai and Golden Arch Gate before. He has rich work experience and is very good at planning.
She pointed out at the beginning that the types of products currently manufactured by celebrity chefs are somewhat single, which is indeed inferior to Western fast food.
Just like Chinese fast food, it is always a set meal for one person, one meal, a side dish, or a drink, and that's it.
Western-style fast food has a variety of snack combinations, as well as various family packages and children's packages, which can meet various consumer groups with different needs.
The family package can satisfy families who want to go out for consumption, and the price is more favorable. The children's package can satisfy families with children, and even the toys in the family package can attract children to spend.
There are also various snack packages that can meet the needs of office white-collar workers for afternoon tea, or those consumers who are tired from shopping and want to take a break and have some snacks but don’t really want to eat, etc.
Needless to say, these were profit opportunities that Xiao Feng and the others ignored in the past. In the past, they only focused on staple food and never thought of these different set meal combinations.
Especially those snack packages, Xiao Feng feels that there is a lot of potential. Now his factory can produce fish balls, beef balls, sausages and other snacks, and they are all snacks with extraterrestrial mushroom powder added, which have a special taste
good.
If you make these fish balls, beef balls, etc. into snacks, the effect will definitely be very good, and it is not difficult to make French fries, potato grids, etc. Adding some Western snacks will also be more conducive to attracting customers.
Especially if celebrity chefs plan to operate internationally and expand overseas in the future, they will inevitably have to launch some special catering that suits local tastes. Just sticking to Chinese catering is not enough.
Didn’t you see that Chinese restaurants in Europe and the United States have adjusted their flavors and recipes to suit the locals’ tastes? Moreover, it is normal for Chinese restaurants to also prepare some Western-style snacks.
Xiao Feng felt that Tian Qing's proposal was very good, so he hired her on the spot and arranged for her to be Zhou Jing's deputy to help Zhou Jing enrich her product line and adjust her business strategy.
In addition, he must also assist Zhou Jing in arranging and designing new investment and franchising processes to cope with the upcoming second investment and franchising.
Zhou Jing is very grateful for Xiao Feng's arrangement, because this Tian Qing is better than her in terms of academic qualifications and ability, but the boss still arranged her to be his subordinate, which shows that the boss still misses the old relationship, and he is
He is the veteran of the company, so the boss makes such an arrangement.
But the purpose is also very clear, that is, I hope that I can learn all kinds of knowledge from Tian Qing as soon as possible. If my performance is really worse than Tian Qing in the future, then my good days will probably come to an end.
As for this man Xia Hongtao, it is because in the future Kajia will be mainly in charge of waiting for Mendao, and after the company becomes a group, it will also need a financial officer, so Xiao Feng wants to recruit a financial officer.
expert.
What Xia Hongtao has reflected on his resume can be said to be impeccable.
After graduating from a prestigious university, he later went to the United States to study. He also worked for a large financial institution in the United States. Later, he was recruited by a high-tech domestic bank and returned to China. After that, he switched jobs to a securities firm and an investment bank.
According to the resume written on his resume, this Xia Hongtao is definitely an elite among the elite, but why did he choose to apply for the job at Celebrity Chef Manufacturing?
Xiao Feng raised his question, but Xia Hongtao could only explain to him with a wry smile. It turned out that when he was in an investment bank, he messed up a project and offended a major client, which made his superiors angry and finally lost his job.
But this time he lost his job, which made him feel disheartened and he no longer planned to work in such a pure financial industry.
In fact, based on his resume, it is not difficult to find another high-paying job in the financial circle. However, after years of struggling in this circle, he is tired of it.
Moreover, the profitability of this kind of duckweed industry, which has no foundation at all, also depends on the cyclical nature of economic development. When the general environment is good, this industry is certainly very profitable.
But once the general environment is not good, then this industry will have no choice but to rush into trouble.
He is already in his forties this year and no longer wants to live such a precarious life, and his family also needs more company from him, so he plans to find a job in a physical company.
According to him, after a round of inspection, he felt that this chef was the most suitable and had the most promising development prospects.
After listening to Xia Hongtao's explanation, Xiao Feng felt that this guy was quite reliable, so he smiled and asked Xia Hongtao.
"Well, Mr. Xia, you can also see the current development status of our celebrity chef manufacturing. Do you think it is appropriate for us to go public for financing in the future, or is it appropriate for us to operate like this without going public?"
Hearing this question, Xia Hongtao was stunned for a moment, looked up at Xiao Feng carefully for a while, and then answered cautiously.
"Mr. Xiao, I have a general understanding of our celebrity chef manufacturing situation. This company has great potential. According to my understanding of the industry and predictions, this company can even become the No. 1 Chinese fast food in China in the future.
.It is not difficult to compete with international famous brands like Kaifeng Cuisine or even Golden Arches..."
When he said this, he glanced at Xiao Feng again, and saw that Xiao Feng's face was expressionless, and then his heart skipped a beat.
"As far as I know, the profitability of this chef is very strong. It has 400 franchise stores and more than 20 directly-operated stores. Almost none of them is losing money. Every store is profitable, and the average
The net profit in a single day has exceeded 10,000 yuan. Such a company is simply a money printing machine. It can guarantee a steady flow of cash flow every day, and it also adopts a franchise model. I really can’t think of anything like this.
What is the need for such a company to go public for financing? And Mr. Xiao, it seems that you don’t need too much money to make other investments at the moment..."
"But if it doesn't go public, will it really have no impact on the future development of celebrity chef manufacturing?"
Xiao Feng asked with a smile, while Xia Hongtao nodded seriously.
“I don’t think it will have any impact on the future development of the company. Mr. Xiao, there are Lao
It has become a condiment empire, and it is still not listed on the market, but its performance is still everlasting!"
Xia Hongtao's words made Xiao Feng nod. These two companies are indeed very strong. It can be said that they have their own unique skills in their respective industries.
"I think that as long as a company operates normally, has healthy finances, and stable cash flow, there is no need to go public for financing. To go public for financing, financial statements must be disclosed regularly every year, which is likely to attract criticism from interested people. In addition, it must introduce
Strategic shareholders will restrict the future development of the company. So why should we ask for trouble? As long as we do well, wouldn't it be great to be a century-old store? "
When Xiao Feng heard this, he couldn't help but sit up straight. Yes, as a business, who doesn't want to build a century-old store? But is a century-old store that easy to build?
Seeing that Xiao Feng's attention was attracted by his topic, Xia Hongtao's words must have scratched Xiao Feng's itch and made him more energetic.
"Especially for catering companies like ours, as long as we are not listed, we don't need to be responsible to our shareholders. We only need to focus on being responsible for our customers, so that we can make the most delicious and healthiest food. This is who we are.
The way to operate for a long time, build a brand, and build a century-old store!"
"Okay, very good. Mr. Xia has to say that your words touched me. You are hired, when can you come to work!"
Xiao Feng turned to Xia Hongtao and asked, and Xia Hongtao was also a little excited: "Um, Mr. Xiao, I have to go back to Pengcheng to deal with family matters first. Can you see me next week?"
