In fact, Ichiro Honda misunderstood Boss Jia. Boss Jia did not intend to scheme against Ichiro Honda. He originally planned to make the milk tea business independent and operate it as a franchisee.
After all, this way of operation was the most cost-effective and the fastest way to make money. As long as it was well maintained, it would become a big brand that could last for more than ten years.
Therefore, since the beginning of 1994, Boss Jia had been secretly preparing for the independence of the milk tea business. This matter was handed over to Natsume Haruko.
As for why he did not tell Ichiro Honda, it was naturally because Jia Yapeng had already thought of reducing Ichiro Honda's share of profits. If Ichiro Honda did not agree, it was inevitable that they would part ways. Therefore, it was better not to tell him about this matter.
In the end, Boss Jia did not expect Ichiro Honda to be so ruthless. He directly transferred all of the Daqian staff. Therefore, Boss Jia naturally could not tell Ichiro Honda about this matter.
In fact, after Ichiro Honda transferred the staff from the head office, Boss Jia knew that sooner or later, Ichiro Honda would make a move on the milk tea business. Therefore, Boss Jia transferred a group of staff from the milk tea business in advance to prepare for the franchisee training.
This was also the reason why Ichiro Honda could transfer 85% of the staff in one go. This was because 20% of the staff had been transferred by Boss Jia in advance. In order to prevent this group of people from leaking the news, Boss Jia cut off their external contact in the name of confidential training.
At this time, there was no Internet and mobile phones were not widely available. If one wanted to contact family, one could only write a letter or use a landline phone. Therefore, it was quite easy to cut off external contact. There was nothing complicated. Even if Ichiro Honda's people were mixed in with the transferred staff, it was normal that he could not receive the news.
The staff that Boss Jia transferred were basically the basic staff of the milk tea business. These staff were not directly responsible for Ichiro Honda. They were directly responsible for Ichiro Honda's senior management. Therefore, the sensitivity of this information was reduced.
In fact, if Ichiro Honda was a little smarter, he would have discovered this matter very quickly. After all, Boss Jia had already sent out flyers to many shop owners and had even advertised in the newspapers.
But the problem was that these flyers weren't distributed on a large scale. Instead, they were distributed precisely to the shop owners. After all, for the shop owners who already had a shop, it was easier to directly switch to another line of business with their own shop.
In addition, the advertisements on the newspaper were basically all placed on the recruitment pages of the newspaper. That was to say, each page of the newspaper was densely packed with dozens of small grids. Each of the grids was a recruitment page of a company.
There was a huge amount of information on such a page. There were often dozens of advertisements on each page. Apart from those who wanted to find a job and change their lives, no one would pay attention to these advertisements.
It was even more impossible for Ichiro Honda to do it. The only large-scale newspaper advertisement for the opening of the first franchise store was also ignored by Ichiro Honda.
Therefore, Ichiro Honda only discovered that Yu-Gi-Oh Milk Tea had joined almost two months after he resigned. It was already too late when he discovered it. There were already 3,000 franchised shops all over the country. Daqian's momentum was already set, and Ichiro Honda couldn't stop it at all.
"Then what should we do? Are we going to watch as our biggest competitor rises to power? " Sun Zhengyi said uneasily. After all, Yu-Gi-Oh was the first milk tea shop in all of Fusang. It had a huge reputation in Fusang.
If Yu-Gi-Oh collapsed, Tribute Tea would naturally be able to take over. However, not only did Yu-Gi-Oh not collapse, but it had also expanded to 3,000 shops in one go. This was very bad. Tribute Tea might be done for!
"It's not a big deal!" Ichiro Honda calmed down. He sat in his chair and pondered for a moment before he said, "Yu-Gi-Oh has risen. Next, it's just a normal business competition. We just need to get rid of Yu-Gi-Oh!"
"How do we get rid of him?" Sun Zhengyi asked.
"It's simple. We'll play to our strengths and attack the enemy's weaknesses!" Honda Ichiro became confident again.
"What are our strengths? What are our weaknesses? "Sun Zhengyi asked impatiently.
"It's simple. Our advantage is that all of our stores are direct-sale stores, so we can carry out the most meticulous management. Yu-Gi-Oh, on the other hand, has probably given up on the operation of direct-sale stores in order to become his franchise store. The biggest disadvantage of a franchise store is the chaos in management and materials. That's where we can make a fuss!" Honda Ichiro said.
"Oh!" When Sun Zhengyi heard Honda Ichiro's confident words, he immediately calmed down.
"Milk tea sounds simple, but it's actually quite complicated. If the dosage of any ingredient is wrong, the temperature is wrong, or even the mixing time is wrong, it will cause the milk tea's taste to change!"
"We are direct-sale shops. All of our employees have undergone half a month of training. They can fully grasp the techniques of milk tea making. However, those franchise shops are different. They definitely don't have such techniques! "
"The Daqian has created 3,000 franchise shops in two months. According to the calculation, each shop needs at least five employees. That means they need to train 15000 employees! Moreover, we took away 85% of our experienced employees. "
"Is that possible? Is that even possible? You must know that I spent half a year training these employees. Otherwise, I would have expanded Yu-Gi-Oh Café to more than 500 shops! "
"That's why it's impossible. The Daqian has absorbed 3,000 franchise shops in one go. It's impossible for them to carry out detailed training on the employees. These employees must have only gone through simple training. They know the ingredients of milk tea and the entire mixing process. The Daqian might have given them a manual!"
"The milk tea made by these franchise shops will be filled with many problems. The taste will be very complicated. When the time comes, the milk tea will definitely taste terrible!"
"Apart from that, there's also the problem of the milk tea's ingredients!"
"Yu-Gi-Oh Milk Tea and our tribute tea have 12 different flavors. There are 38 different ingredients involved. The ingredients for our tribute tea are carefully selected from Fusang's market. Although the quality isn't the best among all the ingredients, it's definitely the most cost-effective! "
"Do we buy these cost-effective ingredients from the Chamber of Commerce?"
"No. Let's not talk about whether they know which materials are the most suitable. Even if Da Qian gives them a complete list of where to buy materials, these franchisees who have paid a large sum of joining fees will still go to the market to buy the cheapest materials for the sake of profit. That's the only way to earn the highest profit!" "That's right.
"Don't think that the Daqian is joining us so quickly. After a long time, there will definitely be quality and taste problems. When the time comes, we just need to add fuel to the fire on the news. Yu-Gi-Oh Milk Tea rises quickly and falls quickly!"
"One person's problem is everyone's problem. The more franchisees there are, the more problems there will be. Once one person has a problem, all the franchisees and the entire Yu-Gi-Oh Milk Tea brand will be implicated. Then, it'll be completely finished! "
"That's why the Daqian is digging his own grave. If he operates slowly and carefully selects the qualifications of each franchisee, it might not be easy for problems to arise. But since he expanded so quickly, he's doomed. We don't have to do anything. Let's just wait for him to dig his own grave!" Ichiro Honda said confidently.
