Chapter 62 is going too far, isn't it?
"After Mayor Shen arranged for a provincial inspection team to visit our store, sales started to skyrocket."
"We've already been contacted by people who want to become our franchisees. I'm still undecided, so I called to ask what you and Jiajia think."
The next morning, while Ye Kai and the others were having breakfast, Xi Xi's mother called to report to Ye Kai, the major shareholder, on the recent business situation and some changes in business strategy.
The milk tea business was started with Ye Kai's guidance, and Ye Kai was responsible for many of the overall plans. Therefore, on these important issues, Xixi's mother obviously needed to consult Ye Kai's opinion before making a decision.
"Our foundation is still too weak, and it is not advisable for us to promote to franchisees at the moment."
"However, we can consider opening our core stores in provincial capitals and other prefecture-level cities within the province."
"If the development of each core store meets expectations, then it is only natural to continue to add chain stores around the core stores."
Ye Kai was not blinded by the idea of making quick money by opening franchise stores. He was thinking about taking a steady and solid approach, occupying the provincial market through self-operated stores, and then deciding on the next development path based on the specific situation.
While franchising can rapidly expand a business, this model has significant drawbacks. It can easily lead to an operational crisis, ruining a potentially great brand.
There are countless precedents of such failures, and Ye Kai has no need to repeat them.
"Understood."
"If we want to continue to expand into new core stores, we still need a considerable amount of financial support. Currently, the company has about 60 yuan in cash in its accounts, but that is far from enough to meet the needs of opening new stores."
Xixi's mother also reported on the store's current financial situation.
"How about this, based on the current valuation of the store, we can get a loan through Director Jiang, and with our current working capital, that should be enough. I should also be able to come up with about 100 million yuan at any time."
"Please contact Director Jiang to calculate a reasonable capital contribution distribution plan based on this situation and our previous share distribution model."
"After it's done, just let me know and I'll transfer the money."
Ye Kai hadn't expected the milk tea shop to gain momentum so quickly, and giving up this opportunity for rapid development would obviously be inappropriate.
He currently has around 170 million yuan in cash, so investing another 100 million yuan in a milk tea shop wouldn't be a problem, nor would it negatively impact his future operations.
There are plenty of opportunities to make money in the financial and Bitcoin markets, but that doesn't stop him from continuing to expand his business and focus on strategic planning in the real economy.
"Are we opening a new store again?"
After Ye Kai hung up the phone, Shen Jiayi hurriedly asked him.
This is absolutely outrageous.
Shen Jiayi never expected that the less than 20,000 yuan she lent to Ye Kai would turn into more than 100,000 yuan, and then lead to the establishment of ten milk tea shops, and now she wants to continue to expand to the provincial capital and other prefecture-level cities.
She's just a high school student who hasn't graduated yet, with less than two months until the college entrance exam. How did she become a shareholder of such a large chain store?
It's all so unbelievable, and Shen Jiayi is completely dumbfounded.
"Yes, the opportunity has come, and we can't stop it."
"Doesn't it feel great to be carried by someone?"
Ye Kai nodded and used his chopsticks to pick up a slice of mutton and wave it around in the copper hot pot.
"With you pouring so much money into it, won't our shares be diluted?"
Although Shen Jiayi doesn't understand business operations very well, she does have some knowledge of the shareholding system. When a company expands and needs to inject capital, if the shareholders cannot contribute the corresponding funds, then her share in the company will be diluted, and her shareholding ratio will decrease accordingly.
"I tend to maintain the basic shareholding ratio of all parties unchanged."
Ye Kai picked up a shumai, tore a small hole in it with his chopsticks, poured some vinegar in, and then savored the taste.
In this collaboration, he contributed the most money, but all he needed to do was brainstorm ideas. Xixi's mother contributed some funds, but she also put in the hard work of daily management. Although Shen Jiayi only contributed 100,000 yuan, she had to make more implicit contributions, including financial support from Director Jiang and policy influence from Mayor Shen.
All things considered, although Ye Kai wants to continue investing funds to expand the scale of operations, maintaining the same shareholding of each individual is the best option.
"Then aren't you at a disadvantage?"
Miss Shen's conscience is speaking.
"We're all on the same side, why bother with so many trivial details?"
Ye Kai didn't know how to explain the intricacies of the situation to her, so he just brushed it off with a casual remark.
Shen Jiayi glanced at Ye Kai, then said nothing more. Her eyes flickered with a complex expression, and she hesitated to speak.
……
By the afternoon, feedback finally came back from various universities.
Since this is an independent enrollment selection test organized by the Beijing University Alliance, it is a two-way selection process between students and universities. Each student can submit their application to no more than three higher education institutions, and the universities will also issue candidate invitations to selected students as appropriate.
If both parties agree and reach a consensus, the university will issue a formal admission notice to the student, and then wait for the college entrance examination results to be released before deciding on the score reduction policy and admission status.
"As expected, Tsinghua University said no to me!"
Chen Xiaoyu was very upset when she saw that her only application had been rejected.
But this is harmless; it's simply a matter of getting into Tsinghua University directly through the college entrance examination, which Chen Xiaoyu is confident about.
"What?!"
Shen Jiayi also received a text message. After reading the contents, she jumped up from her stool, first looking incredulous, then furious.
"Why such a strong reaction?"
Ye Kai and Chen Xiaoyu were both puzzled when they saw this.
"I accept not being able to get into Peking University, but how dare they say no to me from a university for ethnic minorities?!"
Shen Jiayi was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
This time, adhering to the principle of not wasting any application opportunities, she adopted a strategy of aiming for Peking University, keeping an eye on Minzu University, and securing Minzu University as a backup, submitting applications to all three universities.
Shen Jiayi was already a shoo-in for Minzu University, not to mention the added advantage of being the top-ranked art student in the entrance exam. She could get in with her eyes closed.
The first university to send her a rejection message wasn't Peking University or Minzu University, but Minzu University, which she believed had absolutely no problems!
"That's going too far!!"
Miss Shen was so angry that she was trembling all over and could not accept the result at all.
This is not normal!
Ye Kai glanced at the notification message on Shen Jiayi's phone, and a cloud of doubt rose in his mind.
