Chapter 315 is all about catering (subscription)

   It is an important point in Lixia District when it comes to the new direct-operated store. In addition, when there is free time, Geng Hongju came along with Li Guang from the market research department to see the specific situation of the site selection here.

   A deputy manager of RT-Mart received them.

   Geng Hongju came into the mall and saw three shops with the main entrance facing east and close to the south at a glance.

To the east of the    is Lishan Road, one of the main roads in the south and north of the spring. Students from the old campus of the Normal University, the School of Art, the School of Technology, the Police Academy and the School of Architecture all come from the east.

   As soon as you come over, you can see the signs of the shops of the shops.

  The south side is close to the intersection, and the south of the road is a residential area with tens of thousands of people.

   Looking in from the transparent glass curtain wall, the three stores are spacious enough, and it seems that the upper and lower floors must be close to 300 square meters.

  Any one of them is enough to open a new KFC store.

   "Manager Yue." Geng Hongju asked, "All the shops here are rented out?"

  The manager Yue of RT-Mart said: "It has been rented out for a long time, and the same company rented it, and all began to be decorated."

   Through the glass curtain wall, you can naturally see the decorators inside. Geng Hongju frowned slightly, but said nothing, and followed Manager Yue to the north.

   RT-Mart also obviously knows that the location on the south side of the intersection is better, and the north side is relatively poor, so the stores on the north side are smaller.

   Looking at the two shops on the north side, with an area of ​​about 140 square meters on the upper and lower floors, Geng Hongju was not very satisfied.

   For KFC, the area is a bit small.

  According to the company's survey data, once RT-Mart opens, it will become a new commercial gathering center.

   Geng Hongju asked, "Is there no bigger one?"

   Manager Yue replied: "There is a 180-square-meter room on the west side."

   "Not from the west." Geng Hongju shook her head directly: "The west side doesn't face the avenue, let alone the people from the east. People from the south and north are hard to find out right away."

   Manager Yue can only say: "According to your request, this is the biggest one."

   Geng Hongju turned around, looked south, and saw three shops in the south, with workers going in and out carrying decoration materials.

   "It was rented by the same company?" Geng Hongju asked.

   Manager Yue said: "Yes, a catering company."

   Geng Hongju continued: "Manager Yue, can you help coordinate? They rented three shops, is it possible to sublet one?"

   The people over there were connected with the above. Manager Yue did not take this responsibility and said directly: "Mr. Geng, this kind of thing needs to be discussed in person. If they are willing to transfer it, we have no opinion here."

  Li Guang, a market researcher who accompanied Geng Hongju over, said, "Manager Yue, can you help me find a way?"

   Manager Yue shook his head: "The rent has been paid over there, we can't do anything about it."

   Hearing the meaning of this, Geng Hongju knew that RT-Mart could not come forward.

   She has something else to do later, so she can't spend too much time here, and said, "Li Guang, you can get in touch with someone and see if you can."

  Li Guang said quickly: "Okay."

   Geng Hongju left first, Li Guang stayed behind, and said to Manager Yue, "Do me a favor..."

  Manager Yue took his chin and pointed to the south: "I saw that the young man was missing, so he wore a black down jacket. He is the person in charge over there. If you want to talk to someone, hurry over there. I can only help you."

  Li Guang looked over there and saw a tall and strong young man opened the glass door and entered one of the stores.

   This man is young, at most twenty-three.

  Whether it works or not, you have to try it.

   The leader said a word, and the following broke his leg.

  …………

Just as Lu Dong entered the store, he said a few words to Xie Gong. There was a knock on the glass door leading to the shopping mall. A man in his 27s or 80s seemed to want to come in, but he was polite and didn't push it rashly. Opening the door, his eyes passed through the transparent glass and looked towards him.

   Lu Dong went over to open the glass door and looked at it a little: "Who are you looking for?"

   This person is wearing a down jacket, revealing a white shirt, and a tie on the collar. At first glance, he looks like a professional.

   "My name is Li Guang." The man first introduced himself briefly, and then asked, "Excuse me, are you the person in charge here?"

   Lu Dong did not answer directly, but instead asked, "Aren't you from RT-Mart? Is there something wrong?"

  Li Guang quickly said with a smile: "No, I came to RT-Mart to look at the shops. I originally wanted to see these three shops facing east and south. After I came over and asked, I found out that the three shops have already been rented..."

   Lu Dong asked a key question: "Which company do you belong to?"

   Li Guang saw that he could not avoid this problem, he took out a work card from the inner pocket of his down jacket and handed it over.

   Lu Dong didn't answer, just glanced at it and saw the words "Marketing Department of KFC Quannan Branch" written on it.

"It's from KFC?" Lu Dong is not too surprised. After all, when he came here last time, Uncle Seven had met KFC's market research consultants. KFC must use this place as one of the options for opening a store. Now he is coming to RT-Mart. It's normal to see the store.

   He smiled: "I don't seem to have any connection with KFC here."

   Li Guang said with a smile: "I was born once, and I got acquainted twice, and the relationship is established step by step, isn't it?" He asked, "How dare you ask Mr. your surname?"

   "The last name is Lu." Lu Dong nodded slightly, repeating the old words: "Are you looking for me for something?"

  Li Guang simply said: "I'm here on behalf of KFC."

These days, being able to work in a foreign-funded enterprise in a big city is undoubtedly a very pompous and bluffing thing: "Mr. Lu, KFC is also optimistic about the three stores you rented, but it is too slow to sell. When you came to ask, you had already rented the shop."

  The person from the big company speaks quite skillfully, and is also very polite and polite: "I take the liberty of saying, is your shop subletting?"

   Fearing that Lu Dong would misunderstand, he quickly added a few words: "Mr. Lu, we don't mean to fight with you, let alone three stores, we just want to rent one, one is fine."

   Lu Dong confirmed: "You want to open KFC here?"

"Yes, we plan to open a new store here." Li Guang said briefly, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Lu, can you transfer the leasehold? Don't worry, we won't let you suffer in vain, and we will increase the rent. We will pay you all your investment in decoration, design and construction, and we will also pay..."

Lu Dong raised his hand and interrupted him: "Don't talk about this matter anymore, subletting is impossible, I want to open a store here, I can't open a store without one. Mr. Li, if you go north, you should There are still shops that have not been rented, or you can ask RT-Mart, I remember that they can still rent."

   Li Guang also wanted to say that Lu Dong didn't want to cause any mess, so he simply said, "I also make fast food. The shop at this location cannot be transferred."

   Hearing Lu Dong's words, Li Guang knew it was unlikely, and asked again, "I don't know about your company..."

The    store is open here, at most two or three days, the big sign outside will stand up, Lu Dong said directly: "Lu's Catering Company, three stores are open in a row, welcome Mr. Li to visit after opening."

   Lu's Catering Company? Li Guang felt that the name was a little familiar.

   Lu Dong smiled: "Sorry, I still have something to do, I have to go first."

  Li Guang had no choice but to open the door. Seeing that Lu Dong was far away, he hurriedly found Manager Yue and asked, "Do you know what type of stores those three stores run?"

   "It's all catering." Manager Yue said briefly: "I remember seeing the specific names somewhere, and I'll think about it... By the way, they are called Burger King, Lu's Mala Tang, and Lu's Hot Pot."

   Hearing these three names, Li Guang immediately remembered why Lu's Catering Company was familiar, because he had seen these three stores.

  Qiansheng Commercial Building at the west end of Quannan Road Pedestrian Street, these three shops are the closest to the west on the first floor!

   Also, there is information about Burger King in the company. I didn't pay much attention to it before. In retrospect, isn't it written that Burger King is a fast food chain under Lu's Catering Company?

   However, like Milina, whose single store is booming, the company does not pay attention to this small company that cannot form a scale.

   This company from Qingzhao is very small, at best a small local company, which did not impress him too much at all.

   If it weren't for the fact that the three shops at the west end of Quannan Road Pedestrian Street were doing very well, I probably wouldn't even remember this.

  Li Guang knows that there is little hope. These local and snake-like companies are more difficult to deal with. Although KFC is not afraid of them, it does not want to cause too many conflicts.

   After all, doing business is for money.

   Li Guang sighed, the KFC program went down, and the action was inevitably slower.

   How to decide the new store, we have to let the above call the shots.

   After Lu Dong left RT-Mart, he didn't do anything because of this. KFC wanted to open a store in RT-Mart, but it was impossible to stop it, because it couldn't be stopped at all.

  In the city of Quannan, Burger King will have to face KFC sooner or later as it develops step by step.

   Lu Dong believes that the Western-style fast food market, even if Burger King and KFC are next to each other, will not be particularly affected.

   Maybe it can also form agglomeration effect.

   Even if KFC finds a large enough store, it cannot meet the strong market demand.

  Lu Dong has an idea. If KFC selects the fourth store in the east, the Burger King will be changed from the southernmost of the three stores to the northernmost, next to KFC.

   This kind of idea doesn't exist now, otherwise he wouldn't choose a big sign with white characters on a red background.

   The next day, when Lu Dong came to RT, he specially asked Lao Du to say hello to the mall. As long as KFC confirmed the lease, the mall would immediately notify him.

  The decoration continues. The hard decoration of the three stores of Lu's Catering is the same style, and it will be different until the later stage of decoration.

   Afterwards, Lv Dong and Du Xiaobing went to the vicinity of Shilibao in the East Outer Ring, and they found Mu Kun, Du Xiaobing's classmate who drove the car, and bought an 80% new silver-gray Jetta sedan for a total price of 70,000 yuan.

   "Where are we going?" Lao Du got into the car and was in a good mood.

  Lu Dong thought for a moment and said, "Go to the house, Qin Ya said two days ago that a new project is being developed on the Huanshan Road side. Let's go and see it together?"
