"Nell, and Koman, the pace of social developnt is fast."
"So people always sit on dirty chairs or nestle in dirty sofas thinking about one question, why do the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?"
"Actually, the reason is simple, the pace of social developnt is getting faster, which is why the gap between rich and poor is getting wider."
"When you’re still considering where to open your store to attract more guests and what services to improve service quality, your potential client base has almost been taken away."
"We have money, you have professional knowledge, so let’s not start from the stupidest beginning!"
"But before that, listen to a story I have to tell..."
In another world, there is a dining brand known as one of the "Three Great Empires in Dining." Despite no visible promotional ads and lacking advanced developnt thods, it miraculously has its own territory in every city and even has ventured abroad.
At that ti, Lynch chatted with one of the big figures from this culinary empire about their developnt strategies, thinking it might involve so high-end corporate business secrets, not easy to extract.
Yet, unexpectedly, the other party willingly revealed the secret of their rapid developnt and expansion, which is the survival of the fittest and interest combination.
In this dining empire, there is a group known as "Pathfinders" or "Pioneers," who play the most crucial roles.
They rent short-term storefronts in various cities where they perceive comrcial value and start their simple fast-food operations.
Take a family-run shop as an example, if within three months the store’s profit per person per month exceeds the local average wage, they would send the news back to the headquarters of the culinary empire.
The headquarters of the culinary empire would release this information to franchisees, stating that in a certain city, a certain location has a storefront that has opened up the market, indicating monthly profits suitable for a family or group.
At that point, franchisees or new groups would bid, offering transfer fees and equipnt fees that match the lowest bid provided by the "Pioneer," securing a store that is bound to make money.
After the store is transferred, these "Pioneers" would go in search of new business opportunities, earning their wages in three months and also profiting from transfer fees, they actually earn more than others.
anwhile, they bear risks that other franchisees do not need to bear, such as if store operations are poor, they might lose three months’ rent.
But overall, there is more profit to be made.
Thus, with the help of each "Pioneer," a culinary empire silently spreads across the nation, and its presence is visible overseas!
This is not the result of investing tens or hundreds of billions in promotional ads; it never advertised, yet people have beco accustod to its existence, accustod to seeing it anywhere and spending a little ti solving stomach troubles.
Of course, Lynch couldn’t tell this story in its entirety, as his story is tailored to better fit the values of this world.
Also, in terms of capital operation, it’s more blatant here, and calling it ruthless might not be too far-off.
"If we opened a gym in Sabin City, from starting operations to earning enough to operate the next one, we might miss the whole wave."
"So, in this matter, we need to quickly open up the market like the Pioneers, but we shouldn’t bear the losses ourselves; we need others to bear these losses for us."
"We need to adopt a company-person partnership model for rapid promotion; I believe in this industry, there are countless fitness instructors who want to be store managers themselves, right, Koman?"
Koman calls Lynch "Mr. Lynch," but Lynch is not so respectfully addressing him as "Mr. Koman," in a country like the Federation pursuing freedom and equality, but on the premise that the social classes of both parties are equal.
Sitting opposite Lynch, Mr. Koman swallowed a mouthful of saliva as if he had seen a ghost, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, Mr. Lynch," this is what Lynch hears most often.
Always "Yes, Mr. Lynch," very rarely "No, Mr. Lynch," no one can refuse him!
"Indeed, there are many fitness instructors like who want to make sothing of themselves, but..." he hesitated a little.
Lynch’s words just now, he largely understood them, Lynch wants to open stores quickly and does not want to assu the risk, wishing to transfer the risk to those fitness instructors who want to open gyms.
As a fitness instructor, Koman felt humiliated, but as "Mr. Koman," who might beco Lynch’s mother’s second husband and who wants to achieve sothing, he decided to abandon discussing this problem with Lynch.
"What should I do?" he asked.
Nell, sitting beside them, said nothing, but from his lighting another cigarette, he was also waiting expectantly for Lynch’s next words on what a capitalist should do, although Lynch did not admit he was a capitalist.
"You have to understand that brand value is not just the superficial value of a single store, but it lies in influence and the trust people have in it. What we need to do is invest in the brand’s value."
"Those who want to be the store manager, open their gym, these instructors are investing rely specific wealth, compared to the value of a chain brand, we are actually investing more."
"They have so clear understanding of fitness groups in each city, we find the best locations, rent the best storefronts, if they don’t have enough money, they can borrow from us."
"In short, we handle influence, brand planning, career developnt planning, and they’re responsible for shelling out the money."
"If the store starts entering a profit period, we keep it, but if not, imdiately kick off those partners and terminate the contract, finding any excuse, like a custor complaining about their inappropriate behavior during guidance..."
When Lynch babbled about how to be a capitalist, Nell suddenly interrupted, "Isn’t it possible during the most profitable tis, we can also use this thod to kick them out for cheaper employees?"
Lynch looked at Nell a bit surprised, while Koman showed a "you’re damn inhuman" expression looking at Nell.
Nell was sowhat embarrassed by their gazes, especially Koman’s expression, scratching his head, "Am I wrong? This maximizes our interests."
Lynch pointed at him, "You’re right, as a shareholder, you have the right to make decisions, but I suggest not using this trick excessively, using it occasionally is fine."
"If we massively kick out the initial partners, it will tarnish our brand, diminishing the brand’s value, understand my point?"
"Also, our stuff is easily replicable, they out there master proficient and successful experience, soon enough we’ll have competitors."
This differs from Lynch’s take on unsuccessful investnt and imdiately expelling people, in reality, if these stores cannot make money, Lynch imdiately terminating partnership contracts is not harming people, this aspect is essential!
It seems like Lynch does not lose anything, while those instructors dreaming of owning their gym not only stumble but lose all their money, yet it is not like that.
Sotis what is seen, heard, and reality differ greatly.
If this partnership model continues, these fitness instructors would start to incur debts, worsening with poor business results, eventually becoming overwhelming debts.
Their latter half of life would be ruined by this entrepreneurial failure, plunging into the Abyss.
Being supposedly the most conscientious and socially responsible rchant, Lynch would certainly not let this happen.
Although they might lose all their startup money, they won’t endure any debts because of the venture, instead of cursing Lynch, they’d praise him!
Lynch briefly explained, and Nell’s gaze towards Lynch changed as well, after quite a mont he nodded head to acknowledge his mistakes, "You are damn conscientious!"
Lynch smiled, indicating approval of Nell realizing his shortcomings, then continued, "We do not sit idly by during this process, only thinking of using others’ money for our own startup, that’s wrong."
"I ask you to quickly sign up those beauty and fitness champions, organizing a bodybuilding competition of our own, with specifications as large as possible."
"I will find so celebrities to beco our mbers, let them occasionally appear in random gym places, all these will transform into our brand value and influence."
"Those star chasers would consequently step into our gyms, sweating there, sacrificing their youth to the equipnt!"
"Now, do you understand about those words I said earlier?"
Logically, one before and one later, these are two "dads", yet now both dads seed more like students looking at Lynch with worshipful eyes.
Shaless, but thrilling.
Even knowing there are many twists and turns, Koman still willingly joins Lynch’s chain plan as a fitness instructor.
Because it’s simple, no one thinks they would fail, nor do they think they can’t beat others.
Contrarily, everyone believes they’re the protagonist, the wave dancer in the storm.
Previously lacking an opportunity, now the chance not only cos but also actively falls into their hands, why not fight for it?
Even if failing, it is no financial debt, just a restart, but what if it succeeds?
After so mont, Koman asked, "What’s the na of our chain brand?"
Lynch naturally responded, "You’Er i!"
