Tuesday, April 26.
In the office, Pei Qian was trying to make a simple mind map on the computer.
The content of the mind map is very simple, that is, all the possible profitable departments of Tenda so far, as well as some auxiliary and transactional departments.
The relationships between these departments are very complex and varied in nature.
Some make more money, some make less money, and some don't make money;
There are obvious subordinates or linkages between some departments, while the relationship between some departments is not so close;
The relationship between the profit and transactional departments also seems to be different.
Mind map, in layman's terms, is to write various key information in small boxes, and then use various lines to connect these key information, and mark the relationship between them.
Pei Qian decided to use different colors and lines to represent the status of each department and the relationship between them.
The sectors with red boxes represent sectors that have already made a profit.
Sectors with blue boxes represent sectors that are not yet profitable and are relatively optimistic.
The black line represents that the two departments have been linked. For example, Moyu Takeaway is actually providing fitness meals for the shared gym, and for example, rof installation and headwind logistics are basically in the state of conjoined babies;
The other is a red line, which represents a link between the two sectors that has not yet occurred, but is likely to arise.
Pei Qian's idea is very simple, that is to use this mind map to smooth his thinking, and at the same time predict in advance the possible linkage between departments.
But after the initial arrangement, Pei Qian quickly discovered that the situation did not seem optimistic.
Judging from the situation on the map, there is red everywhere, and only a few departments such as Moyu Takeaway, Headwind Logistics, and tpdb website remain unprofitable blue.
Moreover, the workload is much larger than I imagined!
The various blue lines are intricate, and after sorting out, you will find that the connections between certain departments are far more complicated than you thought.
What's more, there is also a bug like otto technology, which is related to almost all existing departments...
The dense black lines represent the irreversible relationship that has occurred between the various departments, making the whole picture almost become a net, with various small words of explanation, it looks very headache.
Pei Qian tried to draw a red line between two unrelated departments, predicting the possible special relationship between them, but after drawing a few lines, it collapsed.
Because it seems that there is a theoretical possibility of linkage between all departments!
Pei Qian can only try to imagine the worst situation after the linkage between the two departments, and mark it with a red line.
If it is some ambiguous and plausible connection, I will not mark it, because there are too many lines, and if I continue to draw it without filtering, it will only disturb my sight.
Pei Qian looked at this diagram of the relationship between the various departments that he spent two hours initially smoothing out, and couldn't help leaning back on the chair, holding his forehead with his hand.
"How did the situation develop like this..."
"It turns out that my company has unknowingly been in such a bad situation?"
"Now I can't fully understand the intricate relationship between these departments."
If there are only three or five departments, the relationship between them will be very simple and can be straightened out very quickly.
But now there are more than a dozen departments. Who knows which of these two departments will have some inexplicable linkage
It is impossible for Pei Qian to ask the person in charge of the department to report everything to his own decision. In that case, President Pei will not have normal rest and entertainment time, and he will spend every day dealing with these trivial matters.
In the current situation, we can only focus on the big and let go of the small, and stare at a few key departments.
"If you look optimistically, the situation is actually good. I lost money in the last cycle. I have slowly figured out the trick to losing money, and it should be smoother and smoother in the future."
"Yesterday, the loss management personnel should have entered various departments, and they will be called up next Saturday to conduct a big survey of the situation in all departments."
"Using the intelligence of various departments spying by the supervisors, and perfecting this picture, at least a preliminary understanding and early warning of all departments can be completed. Compared with the previous ones, the risks are well controlled..."
"There's too much content in this picture, it's useless to be anxious, let's improve it slowly."
Pei Qian carefully saved and backed up this picture, so that he could check it at any time, reflect on it at any time, and prevent possible dangers.
He couldn't help but sigh, making losses, it seems that he is becoming more and more a technical worker...
As soon as I turned off the mind map and was about to watch a drama to rest, there was a knock on the door outside.
After getting permission to "come in", Lin Canrong cautiously pushed the door and entered.
Pei Qian was a little surprised.
Why is Chef Lin here
Lin Canrong is the manager of Mingyun Private Kitchen. Whether he was working at Moyu Internet Cafe or later transferred to Mingyun Private Kitchen, he worked diligently in his position and never came to Tenda's headquarters.
When there is something to report to President Pei, he basically makes a phone call, or waits for President Pei to go to Mingyun Private Kitchen for dinner before reporting.
What's the matter today, you came to the office
"Is there anything going on at Mingyun's private kitchen?" Pei Qian couldn't help but look forward to it.
Most of the money-making departments report to work, but Pei Qian resists them.
Because most of these departments come to ask how President Pei spends money, which is very annoying.
But Mingyun Private Kitchen is different.
Because so far, Mingyun Private Kitchen has no room for improvement!
It is full every day, and the seats have been reserved until the next month. Although we are making money every month, there are only so many seats, and the income has been fixed for a long time, and there is no possibility of improvement.
That's why Pei Qian felt that Manager Lin came this time because something went wrong with Mingyun's private kitchen, and the profitability was not good enough
Really looking forward to it!
Lin Canrong was a little tangled, and after a while, he said: "Mr. Pei, you seem to have separated Moyu Takeaway, encouraged you to open branches for expansion, and set up a special 'food laboratory' to study new meals. ?"
Moyu Takeaway was arranged two weeks ago. Pei Qian thought about making Moyu Takeout more open and paying more, so he encouraged the expansion of Moyu Takeaway.
Two weeks have passed, and it should be in full swing.
Lin Canrong had been the person in charge of Moyu Takeaway before, and he was Rui Yuchen's old superior. Naturally, the situation of Moyu Takeaway could not be concealed from him.
But... Lin Canrong is now in charge of Mingyun's private kitchen, and he came here on purpose to take out the fish, what does it mean
Pei Qian nodded in confusion: "There is such a thing, so what?"
Lin Canrong's expression seemed to have some small emotions: "Mr. Pei, this is not fair!"
"I know that Moyu Takeaway is a very important layout in the group's industry. The temporary loss is to occupy the market, cultivate customers' consumption habits, and to make greater profits... I have no opinion on the expansion of Moyu Takeaway. .but… "
Halfway through Lin Canrong's words, he paused, and Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly.
What is a temporary loss is to occupy the market, cultivate customers' consumption habits, and make a bigger profit!
Don't over-interpret it!
Lin Canrong continued: "But Mingyun Private Kitchen is just as important! Why Moyu Takeaway has been losing money, and they can open so many branches quickly, while Mingyun Private Kitchen has been making profits and has been in short supply, but there is no need to open it at all. What are the plans for the branch?"
"The quality of Mingfu Family Banquet is not as good as that of Mingyun Private Kitchen, but it has made a lot of money so far, which is enough to show that the consumption needs of high-end diners have not been fully met, and there is still room for profit!"
"And, I think, Mingyun Private Kitchen should also set up a food laboratory!"
"Moyu takeaway has to think about how to better meet the tastes of the public, but Mingyun Private Kitchen also has to think about how to meet the tastes of high-end diners!"
"So... I'm here with two requests this time."
"First, make good use of the brand of 'unknown restaurant', and then plan the location and open a branch under the premise of ensuring the quality."
"Second, a food lab is also set up to provide diners with better dishes."
Pei Qian was silent.
White was happy.
It turned out to be a money-making plan to me!
Manager Lin, if you ask for this, then I will definitely not be able to agree to you...
Your analysis is so right.
Mingfu family banquets can make money, and Mingyun private chefs have to queue up, which shows that the consumption needs of high-end diners have not been fully met.
But Moyu Takeaway can expand because it doesn't make money!
Mingyun Private Kitchen has already made so much money, do you want me to open another one and continue to make money
Give me less burden, balls!
In fact, Pei Qian was also very distressed. Since Mingyun's private kitchen became popular, he could only eat at a predetermined time.
You can only go to the largest private room to eat once a week, and only once a month on the 20th.
But Pei Qian would rather wait for a seat, and was unwilling to open another store to make more money.
Want to open a branch now? Think too much, impossible!
Neither does the Food Lab.
Moyu takeout is for the general public, and the ingredients are relatively cheap. Most people don’t pursue that kind of fancy dishes. Open a food laboratory, and the improvement is very small.
However, Mingyun Private Kitchen is aimed at high-end diners. If those powerful chefs are really allowed to set up a food laboratory and develop metaphysical dishes such as "fried air", they will definitely become more famous and out of control. !
Therefore, Pei Qian was very resistant to these two requirements and could not agree.
Of course, Lin Canrong proposed that Mingyun Private Kitchen also opened a food laboratory, which is reasonable.
He thought for a moment and said, "Opening a branch means, do you think Mingyun Private Kitchen has achieved the ultimate goal now?"
Lin Canrong was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer for a while.
Are you saying you've done your best
If you really think so, it is obviously complacent, because this industry can never be the best.
But to say that it is not perfect
Lin Canrong feels that the service of Mingyun Private Kitchen is already better than that of most high-end restaurants. It cannot be said that there is no room for improvement, but the price/performance ratio is very low.
After repeated consideration, Lin Canrong said: "It's not the ultimate, but opening a branch and a food laboratory can be regarded as a direction to pursue the ultimate, right?"
Pei Qian: "..."
It seems reasonable to say.
No, you can't be persuaded, you will make more money if you are persuaded!
Pei Qian coughed twice: "You can use the money earned by Mingyun Private Kitchen, but you can't open a branch."
"In the case of a food laboratory... With the current size of Mingyun's private kitchen, it is impossible to do it. The chefs have to cook for guests every day. How can there be extra energy to do research?"
"Your first goal must be to ensure the dining experience of customers. In order to study new dishes to affect the energy of chefs and reduce the quality of dishes, it is a matter of putting everything at the bottom, and don't be too ambitious."
"At most, you are allowed to take advantage of the research results of the Moyu Takeaway Food Laboratory."
Pei Qian has now learned a very good way to refuse.
For those questions for which you can come up with a reason for rejection, give a reason, even if it is a little far-fetched;
For those who can't think of a reason, it is enforced.
Anyway, everyone's brain supplement level is so high now that even if President Pei makes an unreasonable request, everyone will think that it has another meaning, and if they mess up, they will only think that they have not understood enough.
It can be regarded as a windfall left over after being misunderstood so many times...
Sure enough, the expression on Lin Canrong's face changed. He seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end he swallowed it silently and said, "Okay, Mr. Pei."
