Ye Feng and Duan Pengfei were even more embarrassed.
Speaking of which, both of them were thinking about investing in a business. There were indeed a lot of things that they did not understand when a surge of hot blood rushed into their heads.
Duan Pengfei's face was flushed red. He used to be a self-proclaimed businessman, even Shen Mengyan, who came from a secretary's family, could see this more clearly than him.
However, he wasn't the only one who felt embarrassed. The fact that Ye Feng accompanied him in making a fool of himself was a bit of a consolation.
Clearing his throat, Ye Feng said, "Director Duan, since the funds are not a problem, then we'll follow your plan. Let's take down a few cities around the Sky Sea first."
"Fine, leave this to me. When Tianhai gets on the right track, I'll focus my remaining energy on the chain."
Duan Pengfei was full of energy.
He was only 50 this year, so he was in no hurry to retire.
Following that, Ye Feng, Duan Pengfei, and Shen Mengyan started to discuss the details of the store.
The problem for Yuanfeng right now was that he was lacking in manpower.
What was missing was not an ordinary employee, but a talent that could take charge of himself.
Even if Duan Pengfei had three heads and six arms, he still wouldn't be able to manage several branch stores on his own. He couldn't completely let go of Tianhai's side as he had only just started.
And if Ye Feng were to take his next step, he would be aiming for Grand City. He would not have much time to stay in the Sky Sea.
According to their plans, they would need to build at least four branches at the same time.
Nanhe, the stage, Tongyang each one, Shan-wan City also needs to open a branch shop to open the signboard.
Furthermore, the branch stores in Shanwan must be overseen by a heavyweight, and it would be best if Duan Pengfei personally ran it.
Although Shanwan was not as developed as Tianhai, it was still a real estate city. A few years ago, there were large scale shops there, and just Ye Feng knew of them.
Shanwan and Tianhai were very different from each other. When the time came for the branch to open, there would be a lot of competition. Other than Duan Pengfei and Ye Feng, the others might not be able to control the scene.
Thinking about it this way, he would need at least three or four capable managers to support his dishes.
Ye Feng said, "Director Duan, how about this, your network in Nanjiang Province is quite wide. If you have a suitable candidate, you can pick them out. If they can be used, then use them."
Duan Peng Fei thought for a moment before nodding.
Seeing that Duan Pengfei had accepted the matter, Ye Feng continued, "Director Duan, you'll be in charge of Shanwan and Tongyang, and I'll be in charge of Nanhe River. Let's quickly settle the matters here, I have to go to Guangcheng as soon as possible. That will be our center of gravity for the future."
There were still around twenty days before the end of the month. Ye Feng wanted to build the branch stores around Tianhai so he could go to Grand City.
After the location of the branch was selected, the follow-up work could then be carried out.
In any case, he had once had a successful experience, so he could just follow the example given by Tianhai.
"… …"
In the blink of an eye, September arrived.
On September 1st, Yuanfeng Shopping Center took stock of last month's business situation.
Overall revenue for the month was 448 million yuan, with a net profit of 67.25 million yuan.
The four branch stores had invested 58 million in the early stages, leaving behind 9 million. Ye Feng gave Duan Peng Fei 1 million points, while he himself earned 8 million.
In order to celebrate, Ye Feng sent out 2 million RMB at the end of the month. Shen Mengyan even took a 280 thousand RMB red packet, which made her so happy that she couldn't help but smile.
Other than the investments in the branch stores and the various bonuses he had taken out, Ye Feng had even given Chen Yurou 1 million as pocket money. Until now, he had only 5 million left.
"… …"
After staying in the Tianhai Sea for a few days, Ye Feng began to leave for Grand City.
His purpose for coming to Grand Dominance City this time was to observe the business market and to look for an opportunity to take root in Grand City.
Ye Feng estimated that he would have to stay in Grand City for a period of time, so he did not go to a hotel. Instead, he found a high-class apartment.
In this day and age, the upscale apartment rented, the cost is not cheaper than the hotel, but the environment is elegant, the room is spacious.
The apartment Ye Feng found was in the University City, with a monthly rent of over 7,000 yuan. Without any hesitation, he paid the rent of 40 thousand yuan for half a year, entered and found that all kinds of facilities were available.
The apartment was on the 19th floor, and it was over 160 square meters. The whole wall of the living room, which was next to the sun, was open, and a French window was built. When it was deep into the night, people stood inside and looked out the window, allowing them a panoramic view of the city.
Ye Feng was quite satisfied and decided to stay here for the time being. He planned to go out tomorrow to take a look at a few large scale businesses and analyze the Grand City Market.
The people who lived here were not him. Lu Kuan also came along. The master and his servant were more suited to each other's temperaments, and he was not lonely at all.
On his first night in the house, Lu Kuan went out to buy some kebabs and bring a dozen beers.
The two drank for a while before Ye Feng gave Duan Peng Fei a call.
Duan Pengfei briefly explained to him the business situation of Shang Chao. Anyway, anything is fine, no matter if it's Tianhai or a few branch stores, everything went smoothly.
Ye Feng had an idea and said: "Old Duan, how about I open a branch in Grand City?"
"Guangcheng?"
Duan Pengfei hesitated for a moment. He'd stayed in Grand Dominance City before and knew this South River Province like the back of his hand.
For an instant, Duan Pengfei really wanted to say, "Then let's go!"
But after thinking for a moment, Duan Pengfei still said the truth, "Young Master Ye, Guangcheng is a capital city, and it's a place where all its soldiers fight for it. Right now, there are no less than four giant chains in the entire city. With Yuanfeng's current strength, it would not be wise for him to enter the city. "
"I understand." Ye Feng took a sip of his beer and said, "But if the Far Wind wants to expand, there's no way to avoid Grand City."
Guangcheng was the political and economic center of Nanjiang Province. If Yuanfeng Group wanted to expand, they had to occupy the Guangcheng Market.
In fact, Ye Feng planned to set his headquarter at Grand City. However, there was no point in saying these words now.
The Sky Sea was too small and unsuitable for headquarters.
On the other side of the phone, Duan Pengfei considered for a long time before saying, "Young Master Ye, I don't object to opening a shop in Grand City, but in Grand City, small fights are not enough to support Far Wind Group. If it's not small fights, then the funds …"
Grand City was not Tianhai. Wanting to build a shopping mall was not something that could be solved with just a few tens of millions.
Although Tianhai's Shang Chao had strong revenues, it was already too late to support all four branches. It would be difficult for them to enter Grand City in such a hurry.
Ye Feng was also very troubled, but he temporarily put down the issue of money and asked, "Let's not talk about the funds. What do you think about this part of Grand City called University City?"
"University City?"
Duan Pengfei recalled the scene in Grand City and thought for a moment before saying, "There are a lot of people there, but the students are mainly students. You know that students aren't the main consumers of energy." In the university city, there are very few residential areas, and university students are used to spending money there. I'm afraid they can't support a large scale business. "
