My Strength Does Not Allow Me to Low-key

In fact, Xiao Feng has also investigated the investment environment in Europe. Unfortunately, after looking around, he can only say that the investment environment is really not friendly to the current famous chef group.

If he invested in building a factory in Europe, he would have to recruit local workers, but these European workers really left him speechless.

First of all, my work attitude is procrastinated and not serious, and I never work overtime. Even if I work overtime, I will make all kinds of troubles. If I am unhappy, I will sue you.

And the European legal system is even more fucked up, especially for companies with foreign investment, it can be said to be very unfriendly.

Therefore, although it may be very cheap to purchase some raw materials locally in Europe, and it will be very easy to enter the local market, but considering the various legal disputes that may be faced in the future.

Xiao Feng decided to forget it after thinking about it, and it would be more worry-free to cooperate with Pierre. After all, Shenglu Group has special channels in various European countries, and can also get in touch with local real power figures.

It is also more worry-free to leave the transportation to them, and instead of going to Europe to spend higher wages to hire those European masters, it is better to let the meat rot in the pot and hire more domestic workers.

At least for these domestic workers, if you give them corresponding benefits, they will give you corresponding rewards, unlike those white-eyed wolves in Europe, who are full today and want to eat more tomorrow.

And when he took into account a series of labor costs and the risk costs that he may face later, he found that investing in a factory in Europe, even if it is transported over a long distance, is really not as cheap as investing in a domestic factory. .

That's why there is this cooperation with Pierre, and Pierre is very happy about this cooperation method.

Originally, he wanted to talk to Xiao Feng about the exclusive agency of Celebrity Chef Manufacturing in Europe, but now it seems that he didn't mean that at all, and when he saw other European merchants joining Celebrity Chef Manufacturing one after another.

This made him feel very tasty, but now it’s all right, Xiao Feng established a company with him, and asked him to be responsible for the customs clearance and transportation of cooking packages in Europe, which is equivalent to making him a fortune for nothing. Unhappy reason.

In the afternoon, the franchising conference facing European merchants was also held as scheduled, but this time the speaker was replaced by Tian Qing.

Her education is higher than that of Zhou Jing, and she has also worked in Kaifengcai and Golden Arch headquarters. She has very rich experience in dealing with foreigners, and she speaks English very fluently.

That's why Xiao Feng entrusted her to preside over the franchise meeting facing European merchants.

And Tian Qing didn't disappoint Xiao Feng either, she didn't show the slightest bit of stage fright after taking the stage.

Due to the small number of European merchants, the Merchants Franchise Conference this time did not continue to rent the new exhibition center, but was held in the banquet hall on the third floor of their Pennyville Peninsula Hotel.

This banquet hall was originally designed to hold various banquets, weddings and other large-scale events. It covers an entire floor and is divided into several multi-functional halls, which can accommodate up to 1,800 people at a time.

It is more than enough to entertain European merchants of less than 100 sizes, and only a small exhibition hall is enough.

Same as the routine in the morning, after Tian Qing took the stage, he first introduced the establishment and growth of Celebrity Chef Manufacturing, as well as the characteristics of the fast food restaurant.

Then, based on the operation of Pierre’s five branches in France, he roughly introduced the cost of opening branches in various parts of Europe. Finally, including the franchise fee and other expenses, it is converted into 1 million yuan to open a store. EUR.

To be honest, this price is really unscrupulous. Compared with the price of franchise stores in first-tier cities in China, it is more than 20% higher.

But who made these Europeans rich! One million euros may not seem low, but it is actually not expensive, especially compared to finding a long-term business with a stable cash flow.

Therefore, these European merchants do not have much objection to such joining standards.

Opening restaurants in Europe, especially fast food restaurants, is actually a very profitable business. After all, most of these foreigners like to eat out.

Their consumption habits are also more advanced than that of Chinese people.

This was especially obvious when Tian Qing explained the profit table.

Pierre’s five branches in France almost recovered the investment cost in less than four months. Of course, this has something to do with France being a big tourist country. Chinese tourists who have been to France in recent years Much.

Therefore, there are also a lot of Chinese tourists who patronize these fast food restaurants. As for other countries and regions, the cost may not be recovered so quickly, but it is still no problem to recover the cost within one year.

The cost and profit forecasts in this investment manual were made by Citibank, not those banks in Huaguo, or those unreliable three-none consulting agencies, so the credibility is very high.

Especially for these European merchants, when they saw the Citi logo under the forms, their trust in this investment promotion manual immediately increased a lot.

At the same time, the trust in celebrity chefs has increased rapidly!

To be honest, joining a Huaguo fast food chain is definitely a bold attempt for many Europeans.

In Europe, there were actually quite a few Europeans who opened Chinese fast food, but most of those Europeans opened stores in the form of equity, and most of the operators were Chinese, and they would only get dividends at the end of the year.

And as it is now, joining a Chinese fast food restaurant and personally participating in the operation must be the first of its kind.

And even though Celebrity Chef Manufacturing is doing well now, these Europeans will inevitably have reservations about Celebrity Chef Manufacturing in terms of trust. After all, he is not Golden Arches or Kaifeng Cuisine.

But now this Huaguo fast food restaurant has invited Citigroup to help with cost estimation and profit forecasting, which already shows their sincerity.

You must know that asking Citigroup to help with such a job will definitely require a lot of money, at least as little as $100,000.

But what they didn't know was that because Xiao Feng is now a VIP customer of Citigroup Private Banking, the cost estimation and forecast this time was actually done by Citigroup for free.

Celebrity chefs create such a potential Huaguo fast food chain, and Citigroup would like to have a relationship with them and tie them together in the future.

Now that celebrity chef production is going to expand, Citigroup is naturally willing to act as their pawn.

In this way, with this relationship, in the future, if the famous chef manufactures wants to go public one day, they will have the opportunity to have a chance to eat the soup.

"Okay, the introduction of the situation is probably over. Next, please sign up!"

After Tian Qing introduced the general situation on the stage, he began to enter the formal investment promotion process.

"Our Shenglu Group will join 50 companies, covering Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Nantes, Nice... Berlin, Munich, Hamburg... London, Manchester, Newcastle..."

As soon as Tian Qing's voice was over, a white man stood up and shouted loudly, this guy is the representative of the Shenglu Group's office in Bincheng, Henry, a boy under Pierre!

Of course, this scene was discussed by Xiao Feng and Pierre. Henry's statement at this time is similar to the statement of Yida Group in the morning, just to create a catfish effect.

Although this routine is very tacky, but the effect is very good.

Not to mention that the Chinese people follow this pattern, even the Europeans also follow this pattern.

Didn't these European merchants come to Bincheng from thousands of miles because they took a fancy to this profitable business?

And the previous investigations have proved that investing in such a fast food restaurant is definitely a profitable business. Now you, Shenglu Group, suddenly jumped out and said that you want to buy 50 restaurants for one bite. You are making things difficult for everyone.

"Go away, Frenchie, Germany is ours."

"Damn French, do you think we Brits are short of money?"

"Hmph! You take yourselves too seriously. Don't you think France belongs to your own family? If I don't nod, you won't be able to enter Toulouse!"

The other European merchants present could no longer remain calm, and even scolded each other in their native dialect.

There were even a few Europeans who stood up and protested to Tian Qing on the stage.

"Miss Tian, ​​this is very unfair. This is a cross-regional operation. I think this kind of investment model is very unreasonable!"

"Yes, this is very bad, why let the French come to our Germany to open a shop?"

"That's right, I think each country should have its own franchisees, and we can't let Shenglu Group dominate alone. This is very detrimental to business management!"

The banquet hall was full of enthusiasm for a while, but the French representative of the Saint Road Group was full of arrogance and complacency, clearly not paying attention to other Europeans.

And other European businessmen are also angry. These people have come to Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Spain. They have already formed several small alliances before.

As for opening a franchise store in their own country, they have already made plans, and even the sphere of influence has been divided. Now that the Shenglu Group wants to join in to grab food, they naturally refuse to do it.

And their performance like this also gave Xiao Feng and Tian Qing on the stage a sense of confidence. Fortunately, it seems that these European guys are still very enthusiastic about joining the fast food restaurant.

Soon Tian Qing also put on a show on the stage, and then said the new condition, that is, each country only allows merchants from its own country to join, and currently large franchisees across regions are not allowed.

In this way, the first batch of 100 franchise stores will be divided up by these European merchants.

The cost of each one million euros is directly 100 million euros.

Adding in the income from various consumables in the later period, Xiao Feng estimates that he can still earn about one billion euros from these fast food restaurants every year.

"Are you satisfied now?"

In the upstairs office, Pierre and Xiao Feng watched the video on the surveillance camera together, and said to Xiao Feng resentfully.
