Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

Hao Qiang first hung the prepared recruitment poster at the door of the store and called the decoration company to come and inspect the store.

During this period, he contacted three decoration companies and put forward his requirements. Based on the other party's decoration quotation and his understanding of the decoration plan, he chose one of them.

When decorating a shop, the facade is the most important!

It is a magnet that attracts people, so you have to be willing to spend money on it.

Hao Qiang has already designed the doorplate and logo. The all-charcoal black background symbolizes the burning of raw charcoal, conveying the authentic style.

The orange-yellow artistic font "Human Fireworks" contrasts sharply with the black background, making it eye-catching.

There is an incandescent lamp inside, so you can see these four words from a distance at night.

The LOGO is a ball of red fire with a 270-degree arc on the outside, representing hot pot. The LOGO is placed in the lower center of the four fonts.

The overall look is simple and bright.

In the decoration world, the use of black background is a high-level technique. Even if you use lower-grade materials, you can show a high-end texture and it is not easy to make mistakes.

Outside the shop, Hao Qiang also planned to have someone tidy it up, including trimming the overly lush trees that directly blocked the doorplate.

Many business owners are reluctant to spend money to clean the road outside their shops, thinking it is a waste of money.

However, if the road is not clean, customers will not be willing to walk on it, so how can they be willing to walk into the store?

In fact, it doesn’t cost much.

A clean and tidy road is the first step to attract customers.

The road surface in front of the pavement is like a beautiful woman's shoes. Once there is a problem, it will affect the overall beauty; and the house number and LOGO are like a beautiful woman's face, which are equally important.

In order to create a comfortable dining environment, Hao Qiang plans to place two rattan tables and several rattan chairs outside the store for guests to rest and wait for friends.

The interior decoration of the store is also bright, and through clever lighting design and color matching, it creates a clean and tidy atmosphere.

Of course, such decoration will cost about 100,000 yuan in total, and the construction period is 15 days, starting from the official construction after the decoration renderings are produced.

At around 1:00 p.m., the designer from the decoration company came over to inspect and meet with Hao Qiang.

The two parties had communicated before, and after measuring the dimensions, the designer immediately returned to the company to prepare a rough decoration rendering for Hao Qiang.

At the same time, they also arranged workers to enter the store for preliminary processing and remove the parts that needed to be removed first.

The decoration company is mainly responsible for the decoration of the storefront and interior of the store, but does not include the customization of tables and chairs.

After Hao Qiang finished this work, he went out to a furniture factory that had experience in making hot pot tables to customize tables and chairs.

After finishing this, a day passed.

The next day, Monday, classes resumed as normal.

Taking advantage of the open class, Hao Qiang took the lease contract and information and hurried to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register two companies.

One is "Yuecheng Renjian Fireworks Catering Co., Ltd.", with a registered capital of 10 yuan. Its registered address is in the hot pot restaurant, and the company's LOGO has also been applied for.

Fortunately, no one has registered a company with this name yet.

The other is "Yuecheng Xinghai Culture Co., Ltd.", whose registered address is in a rented house. This company is a shell company, responsible for the financial public business with Lin Nan Entertainment Company, which is used to reasonably avoid taxes.

After finishing the industrial and commercial registration, Hao Qiang rushed back to school to continue his classes.

During this period, he was extremely busy. He only sent text messages to Qiu Yuqing and Han Qingying during the brief moments while waiting for meals. He deleted each message he sent because he was most afraid of women checking his phone records.

In fact, he didn't know when the bomb would explode, so he could only hope that they didn't know each other's existence.

Tuesday, September 28th, is the Mid-Autumn Festival and is also close to National Day. The school will be on holiday from September 28th to October 4th.

Qiu Yuqing and Han Qingying both knew that Hao Qiang was busy opening a store recently. They suppressed their longing for him and tried not to disturb him.

On Monday night, Qiu Yuqing and Hao Qiang spent the night in their rented apartment. The next day, Hao Qiang sent her back to his home in Shenzhen to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family.

Otherwise, she would still like to continue to be with Hao Qiang.

Hao Qiang's action made Qiu Yuqing deeply feel that he knew how to respect his parents.

In fact, after Qiu Yuqing left, Hao Qiang happened to accompany Han Qingying to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After the holiday, Hao Qiang continued to be busy at the hot pot restaurant, while Han Qingying stayed quietly in the dormitory reading, practicing computer typing, and familiarizing herself with computer software.

At dinner time, Hao Qiang went to South China University of Technology to have dinner with her. After dinner, he held her hand and walked around the campus, or rode her bicycle for a stroll.

She liked to wear a full skirt, sit on the back rack, hug Hao Qiang's waist with both hands, and then lean her face against Hao Qiang's back, feeling the sense of security and the cool breeze blowing across her face.

This was probably the happiest moment for Han Qingying.

She felt that her parents might have been like this when they were young.

The second day of holiday,

The designer of the decoration company met with Hao Qiang to discuss the design and decoration renderings.

After reading it, Hao Qiang proposed some revisions.

After all the problems were resolved, the renovation officially started and the workers worked overtime to finish the work.

Shop decoration is different from residential decoration. It cannot be delayed. If you delay for one day, you will have to pay more rent.

Therefore, when signing a contract with a decoration company, the construction period must be clearly stated.

Of course, with the same level of decoration and materials, the decoration price will definitely be higher than that of a residential house, otherwise, the decoration company will be unwilling to rush the work.

For a 200 square meter shop, the normal construction period for mid-range decoration is 15-20 days. Even for high-end decoration, it must be controlled within 30 days.

If it is a small shop with simple decoration, it can be completed within seven days.

If the renovation takes only one or two months, it’s still a waste of time.

All work in the hot pot restaurant is in full swing and time is passing very quickly.

On Saturday, Hao Qiang interviewed the store manager and other employees.

He plans to recruit one dishwasher, one snack maker and cook, three waiters, one store manager and cashier, three chefs and cutters, and two or three temporary handymen.

The recruitment requirements for waiters are young people under 30 years old, and temporary handymen are recruited from nearby universities, that is, hourly workers.

The store manager is Yang Qiuhong, a local. She is a 28-year-old married woman, 160 cm tall, with a slightly chubby face, but a very friendly smile. She has been engaged in the catering industry for ten years and has rich experience, including three years of management experience.

After hiring the store manager, Yang Qiuhong could start work the next day, which made Hao Qiang feel relieved. He planned to let Yang Qiuhong be responsible for recruiting the remaining staff.

Hao Qiang began to carefully prepare the hot pot base. In view of the local people's preference for health-preserving hot pot, he specially prepared some extra of this type of hot pot base.

Hot pot base has a long shelf life. If it is sealed well and frozen in the freezer, there will be no problem even if it is stored for several months.

Therefore, Hao Qiang prepares a large amount of soup base at one time, which can reduce the workload and ensure the consistency of taste.

Of course, when he made the base ingredients, he used an electronic scale to weigh the amount of each ingredient, and at the same time ensured that the heat, time and process were the same.

By October 3, all the store staff had been recruited, but three of them had to wait a few days before they could officially report for work.

Hao Qiang is not in a hurry either, as the house is currently being renovated.

After being busy for a few days, he found that he had a bad habit of wanting to do everything himself. This might be because this was his first attempt to open a store and he wanted to ensure that every detail was perfect.

However, he also understood that as a wise manager, he needed to learn to trust and empower his team members to achieve their highest potential.

Otherwise, when the workload increases, he will definitely not be able to take care of so many things.

So, he began to adjust his management style, trying to delegate tasks that he was already familiar with to the store staff and giving them full support and trust.

As long as the core hot pot base is in your own hands and you can control the finances and food channels, there is no need to worry too much.

After a few days of decoration, it finally looks like what it should be.

Hao Qiang and the staff watched the daily changes in the hot pot restaurant and were looking forward to its opening.

Passersby were also curious about this hot pot restaurant with its peculiar decoration, and many colleagues came to inquire about it.
