YDelivery.
The cumulative deficit for 50 days alone was over 160 billion won.
It was predicted that a deficit worth 300 billion won would be recorded over 90 days.
The scale of the deficit is beyond imagination.
‘Are you okay. It’s worth holding on.’
I am working really hard on stocks.
The reality was that the business was running a deficit by earning money from stocks.
It is fortunate that the speed of regeneration is faster than the speed of expenditure.
“Secretary Han.”
I looked at Jiyu.
“New business ideas are prohibited for the time being.”
“Huh? Yes. I understand.”
“Please think about how to improve our existing business.”
Expanding the octopus foot business is good, too.
It was a time of choice and concentration.
“Do you like the delivery app?”
“Yes? Yes! I really, really like it! I use it at least twice a day!”
“Really? What do you like most about it?”
“It is useful and convenient. For 2,000 won, you can receive meals, snacks, daily necessities, and food from restaurants all over the country. I can no longer live without Y Delivery.”〈 Br〉
These days, Jiyu orders food and daily necessities at the same time on her way home from work. Yesterday I ordered a hamburger. I ordered desserts and daily necessities such as Okdongja, stockings, socks, and shampoo from a local supermarket.
JiU came up with an idea.
“CEO. How about issuing a gift certificate?”
Gift certificate?
“You create a YSP gift certificate and use it like currency.”
It was to link gift certificates with cash, points, coins, and businesses.
By issuing gift certificates in large quantities.
When gift certificates are released on the market.
No matter what purpose it was used for, it was beneficial to the company.
“Are you okay? Please proceed.”
“Yes. And.”
The idea did not end with gift certificates.
“How about partnering with a credit card company?”
“Partnership?”
What if we partner with a credit card company to provide better benefits to customers?
It was a win-win strategy for everyone.
YSP benefited by gaining competitiveness, the credit card company benefited by building performance, and customers benefited by receiving benefits.
“Is it good?”
“Yes. And.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Yes. There are many.”
It was an idea bank.
[Inner heart: I want to be praised by the CEO.]
“Our Jiyu is kind. You are great. Thank you for working hard for the company.”
“No.”
[Inner thoughts: Hehe, I received praise from the CEO. I love it.]
“I guess I should give you a reward? Let’s go out for lunch later. I’ll buy you clothes.”
“I understand.”
[Inner thoughts: Award? Clothes? Shopping date? I love it so much.]
“Let’s go shopping. Eat something delicious. Let’s stop by a motel.”
“No. I have an interview scheduled for the afternoon.”
“Let’s go out around 11, have a date for an hour, rest at the hotel for an hour, and then come back.”
“Uh-.”
Jiyu blushed and looked away from her in shame.
“Why? I don’t like it?”
“No. It’s okay. Dates and motels are okay.”
Jinseong subtly touched Jiyu’s buttocks.
—
“Representative.”
Myeong-ho Lee, Vice President of YSP Foods, came to visit.
“Finally, we have opened the 100th branch of Halmaetteok.”
Myungho Lee smiled brightly.
“You had a hard time.”
Jinseong responded with a soft smile.
“Time seems to fly by so quickly. It seems like only yesterday that the first store opened.”
“That’s right. It seems like only yesterday we opened our first store, but we’ve already opened our 100th store.”
“We have raised our goal for this year. Our goal is to open at least 150 stores.”
“How are the sales of grandmother’s rice cakes?”
“Yes. Overall, it is trending upward.”
Halmaetteok had a win-win structure for both the headquarters and franchisees.
The head office’s operating profit was trending upward at a scary pace.
Franchise store owners were receiving at least 120 million won per month.
In particular, thanks to Y Delivery, sales of Grandmaetteok soared.
[Today! Grandmaetteok 50% bomb sale!]
[When participating in the review event, you will receive a 30% discount coupon for Halmaetteok!]
[What if I purchase grandmother’s rice cake with a YSP gift certificate? Accumulate 10% points!]
Promotional costs?
The entire amount was borne by the company.
We never did anything like pass on promotional costs to the store owner.
“Would you like to go to dinner?”
“Yes.”
Jinseong ate octopus mushroom shabu-shabu with Lee Myeong-ho.
I thoroughly enjoyed adding octopus and beef to the octopus mushroom shabu-shabu for two.
“Wow! The soup is delicious!”
It seemed as if the lively octopus was bursting with energy.
I feel healthy thanks to the nutritious mushrooms and fresh vegetables.
“How about a second round of whole chicken?”
“Whole chicken? That’s good.”
“There is a really delicious whole chicken restaurant nearby.”
I left the restaurant. I walked to digest it.
“Representative Yoo?”
Arrived at the store.
Lady boss. Eunha Yoo Her mother was frying whole chicken.
“Welcome.”
The female boss smiled brightly and welcomed her sincerity.
[Confidence: 1]
[Inner thoughts: Thanks to CEO Yoo, so many things have changed.]
The bed has changed.
I went from living in a rented room attached to a store to living in a clean officetel.
My daughter has changed.
My daughter, who was severely obese, lost more than 35 kg.
The debt problem has been solved.
She no longer suffered from debt.
[Inner thoughts: Our benefactor. A truly grateful person.]
I was so grateful that I felt like bowing.
“Boss, please give me a whole chicken and a bottle of beer.”
“Yes, I understand. Just a moment.”
Myungho Lee looked around the whole chicken restaurant. Shabby and narrow. There was not a single guest other than themselves.
Myungho Lee had doubts. Whole chicken restaurant. Is this really a good restaurant? It doesn’t look like a good restaurant at all?
“Let’s go here. It’s a hidden restaurant. Furthermore, it’s really amazingly delicious.”
“Really?”
Bottled beer and corn were served. Next came the whole chicken.
“Boss? We only ordered one?”
“Hoho. It’s a service. Service. Eat a lot.”
“Oh my. Thank you.”
I received two. There was a lot of sauce, a lot of radishes, and a lot of salt.
“It sounds delicious, right?”
“Eat it before it gets cold.”
There was a generous amount of fried vegetables inside the whole chicken.
Myung-ho Lee ate fried onions and a bit into a chicken leg dipped in salt.
Next, I dipped the garlic fries in seasoning sauce and ate them.
“Wow? It’s delicious?!”
Myungho Lee was honestly surprised. I had no expectations at all. It was delicious beyond imagination. It was better than most chicken restaurants.
“Right? It’s delicious, right? Eat a lot.”
“It’s really delicious. I learned about this good restaurant thanks to the CEO.”
I am full after eating a lot of octopus mushroom shabu-shabu.
I even drank beer and my stomach is full.
Myungho Lee couldn’t stop his hands. He couldn’t stop his mouth.
“I’m full.”
I rubbed my bloated stomach.
I made one chicken per person. Only a few bare bones remained. Even the fried vegetables were all empty.
—
‘Today was a worthwhile day.’
Myungho Lee felt fun at work these days.
I was filled with joy at the success of YSP Foods.
There is great satisfaction in growing a win-win company with one’s own hands.
‘I have to go home after dinner.’
He visited a whole chicken restaurant on his way home from work.
“Oh? Vice President? You came today too?”
“Haha. Yes. Just give me one whole chicken.”
I visited seven times in ten days.
It was so delicious that I stopped by on my way home from work and took a bite.
Myung-ho Lee is drinking cola.
‘It’s delicious. It’s a delicious restaurant.’
I looked around. There was no one but myself.
‘It’s a shame.’
Compared to the taste, the whole chicken restaurant’s business was so poor.
There were five main reasons.
1. The location of the store was ambiguous. It wasn’t noticeable.
2. The interior is outdated. It was seriously shabby.
3. There are many competitors. There were so many chicken restaurants nearby.
4. The menu is simple. Only whole chicken, draft beer, seasoning sauce, and chicken radish were sold.
5. Did not register with the delivery app.
Myungho Lee smiled with satisfaction as he bit into a whole chicken.
‘It’s delicious as expected.’
Even if I ate it every day, it was a taste that didn’t bother me at all.
Satisfaction is doubled, no, tripled with the abundance of fried vegetables.
‘I need to help.’
Ojiryan was activated.
[Me: Manager Lee. Do you have time tomorrow evening?]
[Manager Lee Hyun-woo: Yes. As it turns out, tomorrow evening is leisurely.]
[Me: I have something I want to discuss. Would you like to have dinner with me?]
[Director Hyunwoo Lee: Okay. See you tomorrow evening.]
