Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Tuesday, 26 April.

In the office, Pei Qian is trying to make a simple mind map on the computer.

The content of the mindset is simple: to date, it has reached all possible profitable sectors, as well as a number of auxiliary, transactional ones.

Relations in these sectors are complex and varied in nature.

Some make more money, some make less money, some don't make money;

(b) Clear reporting lines or linkages exist between some sectors, while links between others are less intense;

The relationship between the for-profit and transactional sectors does not seem to be the same.

The idea map, commonly referred to, is to write key messages in a small box, and then connect them with various lines and map the relationship between them.

Pei Qian decided to use different colors and lines to represent the state of each department and the relationship between them.

The red box sector, which represents the already profitable sector.

The blue box shows sectors that are not yet profitable and relatively optimistic.

The black line, which represents an already related relationship between the two departments, such as the fact that fish takeaways are actually providing fitness meals for the shared gym, and the fact that ROF installations and anti-wind logistics are essentially in unibody infancy;

The other is the red line, which represents a possible link that has not yet occurred between the two sectors.

Pei Qian's idea is simple, through this thought guide to follow his own path, while prejudging possible departmental linkages in advance.

However, after preliminary collation, Pei Jian quickly found that the situation did not seem optimistic.

The picture shows that there is a red spot everywhere, only a handful of departments such as fish takeaways, anti-wind logistics, TPDb website, etc. maintain a non-profit blue color.

And the workload is much bigger than I thought!

The various blue lines are intricate and, when sorted out, the linkages between some departments are much more complex than they had previously imagined.

Not to mention the OTTO technology bug, which is connected to almost all existing departments...

The black lines of density and numbness represent an irreversible relationship that has taken place between departments, making the whole picture almost a net with all kinds of explanatory notes in small words, which look like a headache.

Pei Qian tried to draw red lines between the two less connected departments, predicting the special relationship that might exist between them, but after drawing a few lines, it collapsed.

Because there seems to be a theoretical possibility of linkage between all sectors!

Pei Qian can only try to imagine the worst situation after linking the two departments and mark it with a red line.

If it is some ambiguous, seemingly not connected, don't label it, because there are already too many lines, and if you continue to paint it without screening, it will only disturb your sight.

Pei Qian looked at this departmental relationship chart, which had taken him two hours to initially smooth, and had to lean against the chair to support his forehead.

“How did things go like this...”

“So my company is unconsciously in such a bad position? ”

“Now I cannot fully understand the intricate relationship between these departments under my command. ”

If there were only three or five departments, the relationship between them would be simple and straightforward.

But now that we have more than a dozen departments, who knows which of these two departments will have some incredible links?

It is not possible for Pei Qian to ask the head of the department to report everything to him/herself for decision. In that case, it is impossible for Pei to have normal rest and entertainment time, so he can handle these trivial things every day.

In the present situation, we can only scratch and zoom in, staring at a few key sectors.

“If you look optimistic, the situation is actually okay, the last cycle has already lost, I have slowly figured out the tips for losing money, should be smoother and smoother in the future. ”

“Yesterday the losers should have entered all sectors, and next Saturday they will be assembled to make a big mapping of all sectors. ”

“Using the intelligence of the departments discovered by the pipeline claimants, refine this diagram to at least initially complete the understanding and early warning of all departments, which is a good control over risk compared to previous ones…”

“The content of this diagram is too much. It's useless in a hurry. Please improve it slowly. ”

Pei Qian carefully saves and backs up this diagram so that he can view it at any time, reflect at all times and prevent possible dangers.

He had to be emotional and make losses, which seemed to become more and more a technology living...

Just turn off the mind chart and get ready to take a break from the show, and there's a knock outside.

After obtaining permission to “come in," Lin Chan Rong carefully pushed the door in.

Pei Qian was a little surprised.

Why is Chef Lin here?

Lin Chan Rong is the manager of Ming Yun Private Chef. Whether he previously worked as a fishnet cafe or was later transferred to Ming Yun Private Chef, he worked diligently in his position and never came to Tengda's headquarters.

When you report something to President Pei, you basically call him or wait for President Pei to go to Ming Yun's private cook for dinner.

What's wrong with you today? You came to the office?

“Ming Yun, can I help you?” Pei Qian had to look forward to something.

Most of the profit-making departments came to report their work, and Pei Huan resisted.

Because most of these departments come to ask how Bae spends money, which is very annoying.

But Ming Yun's private cook is different.

Because so far, there is no room for improvement in Mingyun Private Chef!

Every day is full, the seats are booked until next month, every month, even though they make money, so many seats, earnings are fixed for a long time, and there is no chance of any improvement.

That's why Bae Qian felt that Manager Lin was here because of the problem with Ming Yun's private chef, and his profitability was lost?

What an anticipation!

Lin Chan Rong showed a slight tangle and just took a moment to say: “President Bai, you seem to be independent in touching fish take-out, encouraging the expansion of branches, and setting up a special ‘food lab’ to study new food products? ”

Touching the fish take-out was arranged two weeks ago. Pei Huan thought about making touching the fish take-out more open and more compensatory, so encouraging touching the fish take-out expansion.

Two weeks later, it should be in full swing.

Lin Chan Rong had been in charge of fish take-out before. He was the old boss of Rain Morning. Naturally, the situation of fish take-out could not be hidden from him.

But... Lin Chan Rong is now in charge of Ming Yun's private cook. What does it mean to come here just to touch the fish takeout?

Pei Qian nodded somewhat confused: “This is happening, so what? ”

Lin Chan Rong's expression seemed to carry some small emotions: “President Pei, this is not fair! ”

“I know that fish take-out is an important layout in the group industry, and the temporary loss is to occupy the market, cultivate consumer habits, and to make more money… I have no problem with this expansion of fish take-out. But..."

Lin Chan Rong said half a pause, Pei Qian's mouth had to be slightly moved.

What is temporary loss is to occupy the market, cultivate consumer habits, and make more money!

Don't over-read it!

Lin Chan Rong continued: "But Ming Yun's private cook is equally important! Why is it that touching fish takeout has been losing money and can quickly open so many outlets, while Ming Yun's private chef has been profitable, seats have been in short supply and demand, but there is no plan to open a outlet at all? ”

“Mingyun Home Banquet is not as good as Mingyun Private Chef, but it also makes a lot of money, which is enough to show that the consumption needs of high-end eaters are not fully met, there is still room for profit! ”

“And I think that Ming Yun's private chef should also set up a food lab! ”

“Touch fish takeout to think about how to better satisfy the taste of the public, but Ming Yun private chef should also think about how to satisfy the taste of high-end eaters! ”

“So… I came here with two requests. ”

“First, make good use of the brand of 'Unknown Restaurant' and plan a new location and open a branch, while ensuring quality. ”

“Secondly, a food lab has also been set up to provide better dishes for eaters. ”

Pei Huan was silent.

Happy for nothing.

You're offering me a money-making plan!

Manager Lin, if that's what you want, I'm sure I can't accept you...

You were right.

The fact that the Ming Fu family banquet can earn money and the Ming Yun private chef has to be queued indicates that the consumption needs of high-end eaters are not fully met.

But touching fish takeout expands because it doesn't make money!

Ming Yun Private Chef has already made so much money, you want me to open another one and make more money?

Don't burden me, balls!

In fact, Pei Qian is also very distressed. Since the fire, Ming Yun's private chef has had to eat at the scheduled time.

You can eat only once a week in the largest bakery and only once a month in the 20th bakery.

But Pei Qianning can wait, and won't open another shop to make more money.

You want to open a branch now? Too much thought. Impossible!

Not even the food lab.

Touching fish take-out is for the masses, the ingredients are relatively inexpensive, most people don't pursue that kind of floral whistle dish, open a food lab, the improvement is small.

But Ming Yun's private cook is for high-end eaters. If you really let the good chefs set up a food lab and develop basics such as "fried air”, you must become more famous and unpackable!

Therefore, Pei Qian is very resistant to these two requirements and cannot agree to them.

Of course, Lin Chan Rong proposed that Ming Yun private chef also open a food lab, which is reasonable, not very well refused, can only find a way to gently refuse.

And he thought for a moment, and he said, "What does opening a branch store mean, do you think Ming Yun's private chef is doing the ultimate now? ”

Lin Chan Rong stunned for a moment and did not know how to answer.

Say you've done the ultimate?

If you really think so, it's obviously complacency, because the industry is never going to be the ultimate.

But not the ultimate?

Lin Chan Rong thinks that Ming Yun's private chef service is better than most high-end restaurants. It can't be said that there is no room for progress at all, but the value for money is low.

After repeated consideration, Lin Chan Rong said: “It's not really the ultimate, but opening a branch store and a food lab is also the ultimate direction, right? ”

Pei Qian: “…"

Seems to make sense.

No, you can't be persuaded. If you're persuaded, you're gonna make more money!

Pei Qian softly coughed: “You can freely dispose of the money earned by Ming Yun's private chef, but you can't open a branch. ”

“At the food lab... With Mingyun Private Chef's current size can't be done, chefs cook for their guests every day, how can they have any extra energy to do research? ”

“Your first goal must be to ensure the dining experience of your customers. To study the impact of new dishes on chef energy and reduce the quality of dishes, please don't go too far. ”

“At most, allow you to take advantage of the results of the research at the Fish Takeout Laboratory. ”

Pei Qian has now learned a very good way to refuse.

Give reasons, if any, for problems where grounds for refusal can be conceived;

Enforcement is mandatory for those who cannot justify it.

Anyway, everyone's brain complement level is so high now. Even if President Pei makes an unreasonable request, everyone will feel that it is something else. If you screw it up, you will just think that you don't understand enough.

It's kind of an unexpected harvest after being misinterpreted so many times...

Sure, Lin Chan Rong's expression on his face changed. There seemed to be a lot to say, but he finally swallowed it silently and turned it into a sentence: "Okay, President Bae. ”
