Guan Ying'er smiled and said, "In most places, these fast food companies indeed have a large number of directly-operated stores, but there are also quite a few partnership models like ours. Business-to-business, as compared to individual franchising, is actually much more convenient, and they tend to prefer it."
Li Qing nodded, "That's true."
He had known before that fast-moving consumer goods and alcoholic beverages had local distributors who worked with the manufacturers to manage stores in the area, but he had never really looked into the fast food business.
"So, President Guan, what's the purpose of your visit to our village this time?" Li Qing set aside the background details and went straight to the point.
Guan Ying'er glanced at Lü Changxi, placed her clasped hands on the table and said seriously, "Director Lü gave me a call yesterday, asking if I would consider opening a store in the village. I found the idea quite absurd when I heard it."
