As Ge Lan rapidly rattled off the franchise benefits, Liu Dongqiang's eyes grew brighter.
Within two years, there was only one franchise slot for a county-level city, three for a prefecture-level city, and five for a provincial city!
This meant that within two years, no matter which city's franchisee, there were ample opportunities to make money.
As long as you had the ability, you could occupy the entire market of a county-level, prefecture-level, or provincial city within these two years.
The biggest reason for Liu Dongqiang's excitement was this, as he had great confidence that he could capture a large market in any city within two years.
"What about the storefronts?" Liu Dongqiang asked, suppressing his inner joy.
"Regarding storefronts, we also have many incentives and benefits," Ge Lan explained patiently again.
"In addition to uniform decoration according to our headquarters' requirements, the larger your store, the greater the support our headquarters will provide."
"For example, if you open a 100-square-meter store, we will provide a subsidy of one thousand yuan. For 200 square meters, it will be three thousand yuan, and for 300 square meters, six thousand yuan, and so on."
"Of course, stores smaller than 100 square meters will not receive such subsidies."
After Ge Lan finished speaking, Liu Dongqiang did not show strong excitement this time.
Because this little subsidy could only be considered icing on the cake.
One could imagine, would people who could afford such large storefronts care about a mere few thousand yuan in subsidies?
However, this was also normal. What boss in the world would give all the benefits to the franchisee?
"Do you have any effect drawings for the storefronts? I'd like to see them!" Liu Dongqiang finally asked after some thought.
As soon as this question arose, Ge Lan became a little embarrassed. She quickly looked at Qin Chuan, because they had not brought any storefront decoration effect drawings with them this time.
In fact, the decoration effect drawings were still being produced. No one expected that someone would want to franchise before even launching advertising.
Liu Dongqiang was a complete anomaly!
"Mr. Liu, we didn't bring the decoration effect drawings with us this time," Qin Chuan resolved Ge Lan's embarrassment and said.
"Because no one expected that someone would want to franchise before even launching advertising."
"Also, the CCTV advertising placement needs to follow a queue."
"Is that so..." Liu Dongqiang smacked his lips, showing great regret.
"Then it seems I can only wait until your advertising is officially broadcast before deciding to franchise!"
Qin Chuan immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, there's no need for us to be in such a hurry."
"During this time, Mr. Liu, you can thoroughly search for suitable storefronts and plan your various subsequent arrangements once you open your store."
"Yes, boss, there's no need for us to rush," Shang Honglian, who had been a silent listener, also spoke up.
"And after this interaction between you and Brother Qin Chuan, I believe that in future cooperation, both you and Brother Qin Chuan will show each other sufficient sincerity."
"Honglian, that's a brilliant point!" Qin Chuan applauded, "Mr. Liu, please rest assured, with our relationship, you can be completely at ease. I will definitely make you my first franchisee."
"At the same time, I will give you significant preferential treatment and discounts."
Liu Dongqiang was clearly delighted to hear this. He stood up, shook Qin Chuan's hand tightly, and repeatedly expressed his thanks.
At noon, Liu Dongqiang and Shang Honglian stayed for lunch before leaving. They were both very busy.
The two sides agreed to keep in touch at any time.
In the afternoon, around five o'clock, Ye Meiyun and Ye Huai'an, the siblings, arrived.
And they brought good news.
That is, the crew of "My Fair Princess" would arrive in Beijing around ten o'clock tomorrow morning. He had already contacted an agent there, and arrangements would be made for everyone to meet.
Everyone was very excited by this news, and some even shouted that they could finally see celebrities.
That evening, everyone made thorough preparations to welcome the arrival of the next day.
At 8:30 the next morning, everyone was dressed and set off, driving to the destination together.
The "My Fair Princess" crew was staying at a five-star hotel. By 9:30, Qin Chuan and his group had arrived.
They found that outside the hotel's main entrance, many people, both men and women, were already standing. They were fans, holding various meticulously made signs and banners, all to welcome the great stars Little Swallow and Princess Ziwei.
Seeing this, Ye Huai'an immediately made a phone call. The group entered through the back door and checked into the same floor as the "My Fair Princess" cast.
Around 10:30, Qin Chuan was chatting with Ye Huai'an. The topic naturally turned to real estate, and Qin Chuan offered his opinions.
Doing real estate doesn't necessarily mean just reselling houses or hoarding land; one could also open shopping malls or electronics markets.
If Ye Huai'an had the capability, he could definitely set up a larger-scale electronics market with better hardware conditions in Zhongguancun.
At that time, the annual rent collection would be immense.
After all, Zhongguancun was located between the Third and Fourth Ring Roads in Beijing, an absolute central location with immense future appreciation potential.
Even now, Beijing's Fourth Ring Road was not completely built, making it the most suitable time for investment.
If Ye Huai'an had the connections and the capital, Qin Chuan also wanted to invest.
Hearing Qin Chuan's suggestion, Ye Huai'an wore a solemn expression and said that he would definitely go to Zhongguancun to take a good look after returning.
With the previous success in real estate, Ye Huai'an took all of Qin Chuan's opinions very seriously.
"Oh! Several business cars have just arrived outside, could that be Little Swallow and Princess Ziwei's cars?"
"So many fans have gathered around!"
Just as Qin Chuan and Ye Huai'an were quietly chatting, excited screams suddenly came from the adjacent suite.
Qin Chuan and Ye Huai'an, who were chatting, immediately rushed to the window.
Qin Chuan was not chasing stars. With his life experience, chasing stars was a bit childish. He just wanted to confirm whether the "My Fair Princess" crew had indeed arrived.
Looking down from the window, he indeed saw the dense crowd of fans outside the hotel entrance surrounding those business cars.
Even from more than ten floors up, he could feel the madness of those fans.
However, the floor was too high, and the people below looked like ants. Let alone their looks, it was hard to even distinguish between men and women. Who knew which one was Little Swallow or Princess Ziwei, and so on.
"Holy cow, it really is Little Swallow!"
"Princess Ziwei is here too!"
Just as Qin Chuan was silently complaining about the distance being too great, a supremely excited shout suddenly came from beside him.
He turned his head and found that, at some point, Ye Huai'an was holding a telescope, and it was a military-grade one.
Qin Chuan: "..."
