Chapter 404 Different Management Philosophies

After being rejected by Qian Laiye, Lu Yunshu did not get angry, but explained the reasons why he wanted to become Qian Laiye's disciple and his sincerity in doing so.

As expected, Lu Yunshu inherited Liu Zhao's hidden business. His previous actions were just to sacrifice the car to save the driver. Although he studied with his grandfather for a period of time, he was ultimately a layman. He lacked the ability and experience to manage the businesses in his hands.

Lu Yunshu didn't want his grandfather's life's work to be ruined in his hands, so he began to think about a solution. The first person he thought of was Qian Laiye, who had once saved his life.

He came to Qian Laiye for help, firstly because he really had something to ask for, and secondly to repay Qian Laiye for saving his life.

Lu Yunshu said that most of the industries he took over were not in Yunzhou. He was willing to use the connections and favors accumulated by his grandfather over the years to help Yipin Guo establish relationships with eight provincial capitals, including Jizhou, Ganzhou, Mingzhou, and Kangzhou, and move into these provincial capitals in advance as a gift to his master.

He hoped Qian Lai would accept him as his apprentice because he was now alone and helpless.

Qian Laiye's mouth twitched when he heard this. Although you are indeed a loner on the surface, with your existing resources and connections, it is not appropriate to say such things. Is this what the storybooks say about being so poor that only money is left?

Although he complained in his heart, Qian Lai still reconsidered whether to accept Lu Yunshu as his disciple.

Of course, Qian Lai could rely on his own abilities and the growing influence of Yipin Guo to gradually break through the checkpoints in other states, but all this would take time, and what he lacked most now was time.

There is a shortcut in front of him right now. Lu Yunshu's gift of becoming a disciple is still very attractive to Qian Laiye at the moment.

Qian Lai soon made a new decision. He wanted to accept Lu Yunshu. He believed in his professional analysis of people and skills. Lu Yunshu was fine at the moment. After he became his apprentice, he would naturally not let him have the chance to go astray. So why should he sentence him to death at the beginning?

In this way, Lu Yunshu became Qian Laiye's fourth apprentice. After Lu Yunshu got what he wished for, he also fulfilled his promise to Qian Laiye. With his help, Yipin Guo's development was unstoppable and it entered the eight major cities with great force, replacing Lulutong and becoming the fastest expanding industry among many industries.

Qian Lai accepted three apprentices one after another, and treated them equally, letting them follow him to learn brand management experience, response strategies and solutions to emergencies.

Three years later, Qian Lai arranged the three of them separately to work in new branches of Yipin Guo in different areas, just like he had done to Yinbao, to become ordinary shop assistants. He allowed them to truly experience the lives of ordinary employees and to see from the perspective of ordinary employees what management flaws Yipin Guo had and the service methods that needed to be improved.

In addition, they need to earn personal points, obtain promotion qualifications, and rely on their own efforts and abilities to be promoted to the management of Yippin Guo.

The three apprentices did not disappoint Qian Laiye's expectations. After taking up the job under pseudonyms, they quickly submitted their observation reports. After that, they began to display their strengths, worked hard, and passed the promotion assessment to become new store managers.

Qian Lai also specially arranged for the three of them to go to the newly developed areas to serve as store managers of Yippin Guo's new stores.

If sending them to be ordinary clerks is putting them on the same starting line, then starting from becoming store managers will become a watershed that separates them.

Their management philosophies, attitudes towards things and a series of other true states will be exposed in this process. Qian Lai only needs to wait and see and he will be able to select the most suitable candidate to succeed Yipin Guo.

The second apprentice, Qi Tianfu, is a practical man. He believes that the success of Yipin Guo is closely related to the service in the store. So after becoming the store manager, he immediately renovated the Yipin Guo store based on the experience he had accumulated as a clerk, added many new services, and allowed Yipin Guo to face the local people with more and better service attitude.

The result of Qi Tianfu's doing this is that local people know about Youpin Guo, a restaurant that puts service first, and they talk about the various services there with great relish.

From a business perspective, Qi Tianfu's approach has indeed increased the popularity of Yipin Guo and increased its sales, but at the same time, it has also increased the workload of store employees, and the burden on each person has become heavier. In the long run, this is not good for the healthy development of Yipin Guo.

The third apprentice, Li Xiaoxiao, is a conservative person. She believes that Yipin Guo’s existing management model is already very perfect, and the only thing that needs to be changed is the employee welfare benefits.

Yipin Guo is a service industry, and employees in the store have to greet customers with a smile every day and work long hours. She has also worked as an ordinary employee of Yipin Guo and knows how difficult it is for ordinary employees. So after taking office, the first thing she did was to change the employees' welfare benefits and increase the star rating for employees on the basis of the original benefits.

Individual new points are calculated every month, and the number of stars is calculated based on the number of new points. Different numbers of stars can be exchanged for different additional benefits, and the benefits provided by Li Xiaoxiao are also very direct, namely monetary rewards and paid vacation days.

This move hit the employees hard. Not all of them were ambitious and wanted to pass the assessment to become the store manager of Yippin Guo and continue to climb up.

In their hearts, their current life is already very good, and as long as they can keep their current job, they will be satisfied.

But Li Xiaoxiao's move was equivalent to hanging the reward directly in front of them. As long as they tried hard and reached out, they could get it. How could they not be tempted?

With the implementation of Li Xiaoxiao's plan, the employees at her Yipin Guo branch have become more motivated. In order to increase their respective points, they have spontaneously improved their service quality, striving to make guests feel at home and make people want to come again after visiting once.

The customers can naturally feel their enthusiasm, and in return, there are more and more repeat customers in the store, and the business data of the store is rising steadily.

The fourth apprentice, Lu Yunshu, was personally taught by two business tycoons and experienced so many things, which invisibly improved his personal vision and pattern.

After becoming the store manager, he did not just think about issues from the perspective of a store manager. Instead, he focused on the entire region, thinking about how to make the Yippin Pot famous faster and better, so that Yippin Pot could quickly complete the distribution of stores in this area.
