As the weather gradually cooled, sales did indeed decline somewhat each day. There was nothing that could be done about it.
Even with the decline, there was still money to be made each day.
Han Songlin began to delegate more things to Xu Lu to do, and Xu Lu also seemed to sense something, working even harder.
In December, Han Songlin officially appointed Xu Lu as the person in charge of Han's Luwei Yanghe.
Of course, with the promotion came a pay rise.
Her monthly salary rose to 1,000 yuan, and she also received a monthly bonus.
If you want your employees to remain loyal, you have to be willing to pay.
In addition, you have to inspire a sense of identity in your employees.
Han Songlin had specially ordered a batch of work clothes, red, yellow and black.
Han Songlin knew that wearing the same clothes could arouse a sense of pride.
Each employee was issued three sets of winter work clothes.
Where did Han Songlin get the work clothes custom-made?
At a tailor's shop!
There are quite a few tailor's shops on the street nowadays.
Many people don't like buying ready-made clothes, but prefer to go to a tailor and have clothes made from a piece of fabric.
Isn't that ridiculous!
Nowadays, the poor go to tailors to make custom-made clothes, while the rich go to buy ready-made clothes.
In the future, the poor will buy ready-made clothes, while the rich will go to tailors to make custom-made clothes.
The poor and the rich will do the opposite.
Han Songlin custom-made this uniform with reference to the uniforms of hamburger shops.
Both sell food, so it's a good reference.
After unifying the uniforms and the stores in this way, it will make consumers remember the Han's Marinade brand more.
I don't know if it was because Han Songlin did this, but even though it was cold, sales at Han's Braised Delicacies did not decline much.
The daily profit was around 4,000 to 5,000 yuan, which was much better than expected.
On December 15, Han's Braised Delicacies started paying wages, all in cash.
Fortunately, banks still don't have this payroll service.
The wages of the 21 employees came to less than 10,000 yuan a month.
Now, Han Songlin had more than a hundred thousand yuan in his account again.
Although the number of people buying braised meat and cold dishes in winter was much lower than in summer, Han's braised meat was still affected, but not as much as one might think.
People still bought it when they needed to eat.
Moreover, many people would buy large quantities of braised meat and cold dishes for banquets and other events.
After saving up some money, Han Songlin left Yanghe and took the train to Jiangzhong City.
Han Songlin had passed through Jiangzhong several times before, but had only been passing through, without getting to know the city in depth.
After arriving in Jiangzhong, Han Songlin's first task was to rent a house.
It was quite easy to find a rental property, as there were special bulletin boards and the like where you could find them.
He rented a two-bedroom apartment.
After getting a place to live, Han Songlin started to look around the whole city of Jiangzhong.
to see if there were any suitable shops for sale.
This time, Han Songlin was not looking for a large shop to be the main store.
There was no need for that, and Han Songlin decided to find a place to produce the braised pork.
First, he identified two shops, one in a newly built residential area. This area was quite popular, but the shops had not yet been completely sold.
Han Songlin then bought one of the shops.
The other one is on the commercial street, of course the price is much more expensive.
But does Han Songlin care about money?
Expensive? It's not like you can't make it back.
With the current housing prices, in Han Songlin's opinion, it's no different from getting it for free.
After getting the two stores, Han Songlin quickly looked for a decoration company to do the decoration.
Han Songlin originally asked Wei Bo if he was interested in doing business on the Jiangzhong side, but Wei Bo was not willing to come at all.
There was nothing he could do, so Han Songlin could only ask him for the previous store's renovation drawings and then bring them over.
Since the store was already starting to be renovated, Han Songlin also accelerated the search for a suitable place to produce meat products.
In addition, Han Songlin also called Liu Yuyan and asked her to bring two people from Yanghe.
Why bring people from Yanghe?
Han Songlin said bluntly that he wanted to use this method to mix sand in the early stages.
Nowadays, local people sticking together to protect their own is still quite serious.
The good thing is that everyone is still within the same administrative division.
In addition, Han Songlin also found a suitable place for the brine factory through an intermediary.
Before, this was the warehouse of a company built in the 1980s.
Now the company is no longer in business, so it wants to sell the place.
Han Songlin took a look and thought it was quite good.
It is close to the main street, so a shop can be opened, and behind the shop is the warehouse; there is absolutely no problem with the traffic.
Furthermore, the place is large enough, with a total area of 1,000 square metres.
On the Yanghe side, the main store has already run out of space to handle more than 1,000 jin, or nearly 2,000 jin, of various types of meat every day.
Before Han Songlin left, he specifically bought the shop next door to expand the space.
With so many shops, Han Songlin was naturally able to figure out things that he had been unable to in his previous life.
For example, he knew how to arrange the space.
He also called in the decorators to start renovating the entire space.
First, the space had to be easy to clean.
It had to be kept clean and sanitary.
Han Songlin didn't want his braised meat to be produced in a dirty and messy environment.
In order to buy the place, Han Songlin directly emptied all the money in the account.
In addition, the registered company was also registered, Jiangzhong Han's Marinated Delicacies Co., Ltd.!
Of course, now that Han Songlin is broke, he is not afraid, because Yanghe can record thousands of pure profits every day, and everything will be OK in a few days.
The purchase of the shops is still in progress. Han Songlin first negotiated the terms with the people, and then said that he would pay a few days later.
This is not a big problem.
By mid-January, the three shops finally opened for business.
Why did they wait until mid-January to open?
There was no choice. This marinated food factory takes a certain amount of time.
Han Songlin let out a small sigh of relief. It's finally opened.
Opening means that there will be income, and they won't have to keep transferring money from Yanghe.
A few more days and it will be New Year's Eve. Han Songlin and Liu Yuyan are also preparing to go home for the New Year.
Since leaving in September, Han Songlin and Liu Yuyan have not been home for a long time.
'I miss Ting!' Liu Yuyan's eyes are full of longing. She doesn't know if Han Ting will even recognise her when she sees her mother.
Even if they did, the two of them spoke on the phone often.
But the phone was expensive these days, and Liu Yuyan was reluctant to spend the money. So, whenever she called, she only spoke for a few minutes before hanging up.
