Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

After his trip, Chu Yu quickly returned to his work.

The construction of the new factory is progressing steadily, and Burger King's expansion is also going very smoothly, with forty stores already in Beijing.

Under Cheng Ye's leadership, the market development department successfully opened thirteen stores in several cities in North China, with Beijing as the core.

Every store is doing great business, packed with customers, receiving rave reviews, and sales are soaring.

Burger King's brand building was very successful, and this segment of the business developed steadily and rapidly, so Chu Yu turned his attention elsewhere.

You shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, especially in business; it's always better to diversify your business empire.

After careful consideration, Chu Yu decided to open a seasoning production company, mainly producing mixed spices and marinades, such as five-spice powder, spicy powder, barbecue marinade, fried chicken marinade, and compound cumin barbecue seasoning.

This allows consumers who don't know how to cook to simply mix seasonings into meat or vegetables at home, cook them, and get a taste that surpasses that of restaurants.

At this monthly department head meeting, Chu Yu directly announced the news.

"I am very pleased to hear everyone's reports. Everyone has been working hard and striving in their respective positions, and has achieved great results. The company's performance has been rising steadily. Therefore, all employees' bonuses will be doubled at the end of this year."

As soon as Chu Yu finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted from below.

The eyes of all the department heads present lit up significantly. Qianwei's bonuses were substantial, and with the bonuses doubled, everyone could have a super prosperous year!

Who wouldn't like a boss like that?! He pays promptly and decisively, and never utters words of gratitude.

The most frequent thing they said was how hard everyone had worked, how much effort they had put in, and how they were going to get a bonus. It made them all want to stay home that night and work overtime! Right now, all they think about is their work!

Seeing the fighting spirit in their eyes, Chu Yu was very satisfied. After the applause subsided, he continued, "Running a business is like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. Although Qianwei is developing very well now, we must also plan for the long term."

"My long-time employees all know that from the very beginning, I said that Qianwei would not just be a single brand or a chain of restaurants. We want to be involved in all aspects of the food industry and become a giant in the food industry."

"Clap clap clap clap clap!" Loud applause rang out again.

Chu Yu slightly raised his hand, and everyone stopped in understanding.

"Next, I plan to expand my business and establish a company specializing in the production, research and development, and sales of seasonings."

"With the accelerating pace of life and consumers' ever-increasing pursuit of culinary experiences, convenient, delicious, and diverse condiment products have a broad market potential."

"We need to leverage our existing technological advantages and R&D capabilities to develop an optimal formula that is different from all other seasonings on the market."

"We want to ensure that consumers can simply mix these seasonings into their meat or vegetables and cook them a little more to create dishes that are even more delicious than what they would eat at a restaurant."

Chu Yu's words made the crowd below light up again. The boss wanted to set up a new company, which meant that he needed a lot of manpower.

This is also a good opportunity for promotion. Although they are already heads of their respective departments, they all want to go further.

At this moment, Lin Chuan, the deputy general manager of Qianwei, took over, saying, "Everyone heard what President Chu said. I had already discussed the new company with President Chu before the meeting, and we both agreed that it has great potential."

"In the early stages, we can also leverage Burger King's brand recognition to drive traffic and promote our seasoning brands, such as promoting Burger King's same fried chicken marinade."

"As everyone knows, many consumers from other provinces and cities now specifically seek out personal shoppers to buy Burger King products because of their recognition of them."

"If we set up a seasoning company and sell seasonings with similar flavors, then those customers will definitely buy from us. Our seasoning brand has a natural customer base."

Cheng Ye responded first, "President Chu and President Lin are truly visionary! During our market development and research, the consumers we contacted all had extremely high opinions of our Burger King and were very satisfied with our products."

"Many consumers have also expressed their love for our Burger King sauces and unique flavors, and have expressed a desire to purchase the same sauces and seasonings separately. I believe that our seasoning brand will be a huge hit once it's launched!"

Seeing that Cheng Ye had spoken first, the other department heads quickly expressed their opinions as well.

"President Chu, your idea is incredibly forward-thinking!"

"Yes! It's sure to sell out!"

"President Chu is brilliant! President Lin is brilliant!"

"President Chu, President Lin, what kind of preliminary preparations do our departments need to make?"

Chu Yuchao nodded slightly to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan understood immediately and continued, "The new condiment company, like Burger King, will become an important part of the Qianwei Group. The company name and brand are tentatively set as 'Weijiamei.' Next, I'll briefly explain the preliminary work of each department."

"The legal department is responsible for reviewing all legal matters involved in every step of the process."

"The marketing department is responsible for market research and analysis."

"The finance department is responsible for calculating the start-up capital needed to establish the new company and preparing a preliminary budget plan."

"The administration department is responsible for handling the permits and licenses."

"The production department and the engineering department are responsible for the selection, planning, equipment procurement, and production debugging of the production site."

"The R&D department is responsible for analyzing and researching existing similar seasoning products on the market and developing our unique formula. In the early stages, General Manager Chu participated in the R&D work and took overall control."

When Feng Yi, the director of the R&D department, heard this, he was delighted. He was not bragging, but the R&D of many well-known brands could not compare to that of their CEO, Chu.

With President Chu involved in the early stages of research and development and overseeing the process, the products we make are guaranteed to be excellent and will definitely sell like hotcakes.

With that in mind, Feng Yi confidently assured him, "Under President Chu's leadership, our R&D department will definitely be able to develop the best product on the market, far surpassing similar products, ensuring consumers will keep buying it!"

After saying "Okay," Lin Chuan continued, "Next is the supply chain management team. The procurement of raw materials and the selection of relevant suppliers for the new factory need to be done in advance."

Upon hearing this, Fang Hua nodded. "We have certain supplier resources for commonly used spices and basic raw materials, but we still need to further expand our procurement channels for some specialty spices and high-quality raw materials."

"After the meeting, I will immediately organize my colleagues to conduct a comprehensive investigation and screening of domestic and foreign seasoning raw material suppliers, and select at least 10 major suppliers."

"Yes, that's fine."

"The establishment of the new company cannot be separated from the support of professional talents. Every department needs people. Director Cheng, after this meeting, you need to develop a detailed recruitment plan as soon as possible to ensure that the personnel are in place within two months."

Cheng Su immediately replied, "Okay, President Chu, President Lin, the HR department will do its best to recruit high-quality talent and will absolutely not affect the normal establishment and operation of the new company."

After a moment of contemplation, Chu Yu said to Cheng Su, "For the new company's management positions, we will first assess the existing employees of Qianwei who are willing to work hard in the new company, based on the necessary skills and qualities required for the positions. Those who pass the assessment will be directly promoted or transferred."

"If there aren't any suitable candidates, we'll recruit from outside. But I'll say it again: for management positions in our company, I prefer to hire people who have worked their way up from the bottom with the company."

"Skills can be cultivated. People who are loyal to the company, get along well with colleagues, are persevering, and are willing to learn and improve are worth the company's investment."

"President Chu, I understand what you mean and I appreciate your good intentions. After the meeting, I will immediately formulate corresponding performance evaluation standards based on the positions, and I will make sure that no talented and ambitious colleague is overlooked."

"Okay, let's continue with the new factory issue..."
