Jiang Dahe’s eyes lit up.
“Deal! After the New Year, I won’t take on any other jobs.”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
Then, she started to talk to Jiang Dahe about the pay.
In the end, it was decided that Lin Xiaoyue would be responsible for the materials of the shop.
In addition, during the renovation period, Lin Xiaoyue had to settle the workers’ food and accommodation.
Jiang Dahe did everything according to Lin Xiaoyue’s request, and the final remuneration was calculated according to the number of shops that would be renovated.
10 taels of silver for a shop, and the renovation of the workshop was also calculated the same way.
Jiang Dahe was satisfied with the price.
Ms. Lin probably wanted to open nearly 100 eateries in Nan’an County.
Renovating a shop cost 10 taels, so 100 shops would cost 1,000 taels.
It would only take two to three months to complete the project. If his men worked harder, he might get close to 1,000 taels.
He felt that he could make a fortune from this business.
Lin Xiaoyue continued to discuss her plans with Jiang Dahe.
“Nan’an County is just the first step. When we become popular, 1 might expand to other counties.”
Jiang Dahe’s eyes lit up.
“Ms. Lin, if you need my help in the future, just let me know! “Jiang Dahe quickly stood up and cupped his hands at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and gestured for Jiang Dahe to sit down.
After Jiang Dahe sat down, he said, “the shops that are going to be renovated this time are in Nan’an County. Although you will have to live outside, it’s not too far from Qingshi Town.”
“In the future, if we expand to other counties, the situation will be different.”
In ancient times, there was no good transportation system.
Unlike in the 21st century, many people left their homes to work in other places.
She had the intention to make Jiang Dahe’s team her go-to construction team.
However, she was not sure if the menon Jiang Dahe’s side were up to the task. In other words, were they willing to be away for a long time?
As expected, Jiang Dahe quickly fell silent after hearing Lin Xiaoyue’s words.
Nan’an County wasn’t far from Qingshi Town. If he set a higher salary, his men would definitely follow him.
However, if it was further away, some people would probably refuse.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Jiang Dahe and said, “if we renovate the shops in another county, we won’t be able hire too many people.”
“Liu’s Express will be established in Nan’an County. 1 want to open many chain stores to promote the brand.”
“When we go to other places, the number of shops will decrease.”
It was too much to have nearly a hundred chain stores in a county.
However, there were no chain stores in this era.
In the absence of competition, she could support so many chain stores.
Seeing that Jiang Dahe was confused, Lin Xiaoyue did not explain further and said, “that’s right. After leaving Nan’an County, Liu’s Express will only be opened in cities and large towns. Moreover, the number of shops will be reduced.”
When she made her name known, the franchise fee would be raised accordingly, and she would not have so many franchisees anymore.
In fact, she might even consider stopping it when she had enough money.
How many people do you need?” Jiang Dahe was shocked.
She wanted to open stores outside of Nan’an County.
Did she mean that she wanted to have stores all over the Great Yan?
How many?
If he could take over the renovation for all these stores, would he still need to take on other jobs?
If he only worked with her, he would not have to worry about not having a job for the rest of his life!
At the thought of this, he was excited.
Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment. “Five or six people should be enough.”
When the expansion of Liu’s Express slowed down, there wouldn’t be so many shops that needed renovation at the same time.
Jiang Dahe’s heart skipped a beat.
“Sure! I’m confident that 1 can take this little manpower with me!” He immediately said.
He knew his men well.
Some of them were poor. He just had to offer a higher salary.
A year of working outside could last them 3 to 4. years..
