I Beg You All, Please Shut Up Chapter 218

Chapter 218: First Franchisee

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two weeks had pa.s.sed. Everything was going smoothly. Since the land grant for the factory had already been issued, construction began the following day. Within the span of two weeks, the 150-acre site had been developed, primarily due to the availability of funds. Several construction teams worked collaboratively, resulting in the completion of the outer walls of the factory within the two-week timeframe.

In addition, the first workshop had taken shape. As long as the steel frame materials arrived, the welding would be carried out according to the drawings. The first workshop would be built in about a week.

However, it would take another week for the production line to truly be put into use.

Although half a month had pa.s.sed and all the equipment needed for the production line had been completed, because Chu Tian’s workshop had not been built yet, the equipment was still in the production equipment factories.

Moreover, the a.s.sembly of production equipment was very troublesome, no matter how long it took to a.s.semble.

In other words, it would take another half month at the earliest before the workshop was officially put into use.

Besides, Li Niannian was really busy during this period. She wasn’t busy with the construction of the company. After all, once the money was in place, the construction team could do it themselves. They were mainly busy recruiting people and contacting suppliers.

This kind of factory-type production line certainly couldn’t buy the raw material from the supermarket. The supermarket also couldn’t supply it. Therefore, the supplier also must be contacted.

Moreover, the recruitment of workers needed to be conducted in advance rather than waiting until the production line was built to start the process. This was to ensure minimal delays. Fortunately, Li Sisi had a relatively lighter workload during this period and a.s.sisted Li Niannian in resolving these matters.

……

It’s half past eleven in the morning!

A taxi stopped in front of a restaurant in downtown Haicheng, and Chu Tian and Li Niannian came out and walked in.

They were scheduled to meet with a prospective franchisee today. The woman surnamed Zhu and named Mei Yun, had traveled from Shanghai and had been in town for two days. Today marked the third day, and she expressed her interest in joining their franchise.

“Chu Tian,” Li Niannian began as they walked into the restaurant. She was dressed in a skirt, a white blouse, had her hair tied up in a high ponytail, and wore black high heels. “I think Zhu is genuinely interested. After all, she would be our first franchisee. How about we offer her a discount?”

“What kind of discount?” Chu Tian shook his head and replied, “We are already providing her with an opportunity to make money. If she is willing to join, then she should join. If she doesn’t want to, she won’t be the first. Some people want to be the first.”

Hearing Chu Tian’s response, Li Niannian smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll go along with your decision.”

Li Niannian pushed open the restaurant door and walked in.

……

“Manager Li.”

In the restaurant, Li Niannian and Chu Tian had just entered when a woman around 40 years old stood up by the window.

It was Zhu Mei Yun.

Seeing this, Li Niannian smiled and walked over with Chu Tian.

“Sister Zhu, I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”

“No, no.” Zhu Mei Yun smiled and said, “I just arrived too. Come, sit down and chat.”

“Hey.”

After the three of them sat down, Zhu Mei Yun looked at Chu Tian with a smile and said, “This is?”

“Oh, he is my brother.” Li Niannian said, “He’s free, so he’ll come with me.”

That’s it!

Zhu Mei Yun nodded.

Li Niannian said, “Sister Zhu, I’ll treat you to this meal. What do you want to eat?”

“No need, no need.” Zhu Mei Yun smiled and said, “I’ve already ordered the meal. It’ll be here soon. I’ll treat you to this meal. Next time, please treat me.”

“That’s fine,” Li Niannian didn’t stay on this topic either. She said, “Sister Zhu, you’ve been inspecting our factory for two days and also seen the popularity of our shop. To put it bluntly, we’re not a small workshop. Just our factory alone has an area of 150 acres. The current investment is almost 200 million.”

“I know that.” Zhu Mei Yun smiled and said, “Just from the scale of the factory, it can be seen that you’re using milk tea for nothing. I’m definitely not worried about being, but….”

Speaking of which, Zhu Mei Yun said in a low voice, “The joining fee is 20 million. Isn’t this too expensive? Can it be cheaper?”

Li Niannian shook her head with a wry smile and said, “Sister Zhu, this isn’t up to me. It was decided by our boss.”

“Then, can’t you arrange for me to meet your boss?” Zhu Mei Yun continued.

“Our boss is really busy.” Li Niannian said, “It’s not that I didn’t arrange it. He’s currently in Europe talking about other projects. He won’t be able to return in a month or two. Besides, he doesn’t care too much about this company. He has numerous ventures under his belt. In his eyes, if you’re willing to join, you can join. If not, that’s also fine. However, I’m different. I genuinely hope that you’ll consider joining.”

“I understand.” Zhu Mei Yun smiled and said, “Big Boss, in his eyes, we’re not worth mentioning.”
