Lin Xiaoyue looked at Jiang Dahe. “You are an expert in this field. I just wanted to ask if you’re interested.”
Jiang Dahe’s eyes lit up.
“Can you tell us how many stores you are planning to open?” He cupped his hands and asked Lin Xiaoyue.
He didn’t know what a chain store was, but he just needed to renovate it according to her requirements.
How long had it been? The workshop next to the Liu residence had just been completed, and she was going to open more. Moreover, it sounded like she would open many.
“I can’t say exactly how many. However, the number would depend on the size of the town.”
“For example, Qingshi Town is a big place, so opening four chain stores is not a problem. Taohua Town and Daxi Town next to us are smaller, so we’ll open three shops each.”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled embarrassedly. “I am not familiar with the towns in Nan’an County, I can’t say exactly how many shops I want to open.”
Meanwhile, Jiang Dahe’s eyes widened in shock.
She’s doing big business!
“As for the towns smaller than Daxi Town and Peach Blossom Town, we won’t consider them.”
“Can you tell me the specific requirements?”Jiang Dahe gulped and said.
Ever since he helped the Liu family build the Liu residence, he had practically watched them prosper.
Although what Ms. Lin said just now was too shocking, he didn’t doubt that her plan was real.
“Alright.” Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.
Then, she told Jiang Dahe about her request.
When Jiang Dahe heard that, he was delighted.
Renovating the shop to the same style was easy!
“In addition to the chain stores, we also have to build a workshop.” Lin Xiaoyue continued.
Then, she told Jiang Dahe about her plans.
Of course, the workshop did not need to be built on its own. Instead, it’s added to the rented store.
For example, in a rented store, the kitchen would definitely not be enough. He would need to build some stoves in the courtyard.
In addition, some changes had to be made to store the goods and carriages.
“Sure! 1 will divide the manpower and do it according to your request!”Jiang Dahe replied.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
“I’ll arrange for someone to select a location for the shops. Then, you must try to renovate each shop at around the same time.”
She thought that it would be difficult to choose a location.
After all, even if she could teach Shanshan and the others, it would not be easy for them to negotiate with the landlord.
Even if Shanshan went personally, it would not be easy.
However, after chatting with Li Xiao, she felt much more at ease about this problem.
This was because the Nangong Army also had connections in Nan’an County.
She was referring to the people who helped manage the Nangong family’s business.
After the Nangong Clan’s incident, in order to support the army’s military expenses at the border, Li Xiao had already given the order to sell off their properties.
So, these people were all idle at the moment.
However, it just so happened that she needed a large number of capable and trustworthy people now.
She could hire them as managers and accountants
They could also help with choosing the location of the store and deal with the matters of franchising. This way, she could progress faster.
Jiang Dahe thought about it.
“I have a total of 22 men under me. If we work together, I can guarantee that
4 shops can be renovated at the same time.”
“I’ll prepare the materials in advance and rush the construction period. Four to five days should be enough for one shop.”
Lin Xiaoyue thought about it and nodded.
She could also arrange for workers to buy and transport the materials.
In any case, there would be people in charge of the local area. She would ask them to keep an eye on the stores around them to ensure that the work progressed normally.
“Nan’an County has a total of over 30 towns, and I estimate that at least half of them meet the requirements to open a chain store. In addition, there are even more eateries in Nan’an County.”
“If you can renovate the shops quickly, it will take two to three months, including the time spent on the road.”
Lin Xiaoyue muttered to herself.
“How about this, we’ll start construction after the Lunar New Year. On the 16th day of the first lunar month, bring some people over. 1’11 get someone to arrange for you to go to the shops.”
In three months, it was time for the first season of chilis to be harvested.
The shop should not be empty for long before it could open for business..
