In the afternoon, Qin Chuan received a call from Ye Meiyun.
On the phone, Ye Meiyun excitedly told him that they had signed a big deal that day, with someone officially becoming the first franchisee of Shen Dun Lockers.
Furthermore, they had ordered five hundred units at once, with a total value of thirty thousand yuan.
Ye Meiyun asked Qin Chuan to come to the electronics factory immediately.
After receiving the call, Qin Chuan lost no time and drove to the electronics factory.
To be honest, he really hadn't expected such a smooth outcome this time.
It was only a little past three in the afternoon now, and the big boss from Modu had arrived just after eight in the morning. In just a few hours, the franchise had been confirmed.
When Qin Chuan drove to the electronics factory, he saw the franchisee who had signed up for Shen Dun Lockers in Ye Meiyun's office.
Ye Meiyun, Xu Ronghua, Ge Lan, and others were sitting on the sofa with the client, chatting and laughing over tea.
The client was a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed in a high-end suit, well-dressed and with an extraordinary demeanor. It was clear he was in business.
Several men and women stood beside him. Among them, a couple looked like newlyweds.
Qin Chuan's sudden appearance interrupted the cheerful atmosphere. It wasn't surprising that when Ye Meiyun stood up and introduced Qin Chuan, the client's face showed unconcealed astonishment.
"Mr. Wang, are you surprised that I'm so young?" Qin Chuan smiled, diffusing the tension.
He had learned from Ye Meiyun upon his arrival that the boss who had signed up was surnamed Wang, and his name was Wang Jianyè.
In this era, names like Jianjun, Jianyè, Jianhua, Jianguo, and Cui Lan, Guilan, Cuihua were extremely common, with a high rate of name repetition, much like twenty years later when young parents named their children Zihan, Zihan, Zihan, Zitao, and so on.
This was a mark of the times, and different eras and environments were reflected in people's real lives.
Qin Chuan was fortunate that his parents had not given him and his two brothers similarly common names.
"Boss Qin, if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we really wouldn't have believed it," Wang Jianyè said, shaking his head in surprise.
"You are truly too young; you look younger than my son!"
"I apologize, I'm not trying to insult you, just stating the facts." Qin Chuan waved his hand with a smile, indicating that he didn't mind.
"Boss Qin, is this electronics factory really yours?" a middle-aged woman beside Wang Jianyè asked.
"Boss Qin, this is my wife, and this is my son and daughter-in-law!" Wang Jianyè quickly introduced.
"Our whole family came today to collectively inspect your locker project."
Qin Chuan smiled and nodded, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
"This electronics factory is indeed my own."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jianyè's wife immediately chided her son, "Jun Jun, did you hear that? This electronics factory is really Boss Qin's!"
"Look at him, he's not even as old as you, and he's already the boss of such a large factory."
"After we help you secure this franchise project, you and Qiqi must operate it well. The products of Shen Dun Lockers have great prospects!"
From the words and expressions of the Wang Jianyè couple, Qin Chuan inferred that this was likely a business venture where the parents were helping their son and daughter-in-law find an investment.
This situation was very common, both in the present and in future generations.
Parents had jobs, but their children didn't have good ones, so they had no choice but to slowly help them find opportunities.
And as Qin Chuan had guessed, during their subsequent conversation, he learned that the Wang Jianyè couple was indeed finding a startup project for their son and daughter-in-law.
They had seen the advertisement on CCTV. Wang Jianyè's wife was the first to see it and realized that Shen Dun Lockers had good prospects. She then told her husband.
After careful consideration, the couple decided it was worth a try, and they brought their son and daughter-in-law with them.
"Boss Qin, we are very satisfied with your products," Wang Jianyè said.
"Today, Director Ye not only took us to visit the flagship store but also to many places in your county where Shen Dun Lockers have been installed, such as supermarkets, factories, and many government offices where people work..."
"The function of Shen Dun Lockers has been perfectly demonstrated. The market is large, and the prospects are very good."
"The only point of criticism is, why is your factory located in such a small county town?"
"Transportation is too inconvenient!"
Hearing Wang Jianyè's feedback, Qin Chuan exchanged glances with Ye Meiyun, Xu Ronghua, and others. Finally, Qin Chuan spoke.
"Mr. Wang, we are aware of this point ourselves."
"It is indeed inconvenient to have our electronics factory located in such a small county town."
"However, there's nothing we can do about it. We are in the early stages of entrepreneurship, without substantial capital or strong connections."
"It's ultimately more convenient to set up a factory in our hometown than elsewhere!"
"And there are many policy advantages."
"If our business grows and we develop more products in the future, we will naturally consider relocating the factory to a big city."
Wang Jianyè nodded after listening.
More than half an hour later, the Wang Jianyè family bid farewell.
Qin Chuan personally escorted them to the factory entrance.
After their car drove away, Qin Chuan asked Ye Meiyun how the contract had been finalized.
Ye Meiyun said, "Today, Wang Jianyè paid a franchise fee of five thousand yuan and a deposit of thirty thousand yuan for renovations. We agreed to send people to Modu after the New Year to help them renovate their store."
"We will start supplying goods after the store is renovated!"
Qin Chuan nodded slowly, "And did you mention our supply process and after-sales service to them?"
"Every order requires payment of at least half of the total product price."
"We did, and the other party had no objections," Ye Meiyun replied.
"Well done! Tonight, tell the cafeteria to give everyone an extra chicken drumstick!" Qin Chuan announced to everyone.
"Boss, you're too stingy! How can one chicken drumstick be enough? It should be at least two eggs too!" Xu Ronghua shouted.
"No problem, then we'll add two eggs!" Qin Chuan declared grandly, and everyone laughed heartily.
As the New Year approached, they hadn't expected anyone to join before the holiday, but today brought an unexpected surprise.
This was a very good sign and had a significant motivating effect on all the employees of the electronics factory.
"Notify everyone that we will have a year-end party tomorrow night!" Qin Chuan suddenly remembered something and said.
Ye Meiyun, Xu Ronghua, Ge Lan, and others beside him had their eyes light up with excitement.
"Come with me, I have a few things to tell you..."
Everyone quickly followed him.
