A group of brothers sat in the office, smoking and chatting. Upon hearing that Xinhua Electronics Factory's product advertisement would be aired on CCTV in about twenty days, everyone was delighted.
"I never imagined our product would ever appear on CCTV!"
"This is truly a point of pride for all of Yongnan County!"
"Boss, you've really brought glory to our hometown this time!"
Qin Chuan sat on the sofa, a smile on his face as he listened to the endless stream of flattery.
To have his product featured in a CCTV advertisement was indeed a considerable honor. He was likely the only one in Yongnan County to achieve such a feat, marking a historical milestone.
Of course, everything still depended on the results after the advertisement. If Xinhua Electronics Factory truly took off from here, that would be the real achievement.
"Jin Yu, there's something I need to discuss with you in detail."
After the flattery subsided, Qin Chuan spoke to Chen Jin Yu.
"Boss, whatever you need, just tell me," Chen Jin Yu replied.
Qin Chuan didn't mince words and directly brought up the matter of franchise stores. Upon hearing about such a significant business venture, Chen Jin Yu felt both happy and overwhelmed.
He was happy because it was a highly beneficial prospect for his responsibility, the Yaohui Decoration company. As the highest-ranking director, the better the company's business, the greater his own benefits.
The pressure, however, stemmed from the fact that his current team was already stretched thin. If they took on this additional project, they might not be able to cope.
Moreover, there was a crucial point: how to design the store's interior. Others might not know, but Chen Jin Yu was well aware that the boss had extremely high standards. He was, in fact, a design master himself, someone Chen Jin Yu admired immensely.
Chen Jin Yu voiced his difficulties. Qin Chuan, with his characteristic decisiveness, said,
"Not enough manpower? Then hire more!"
"As for the store design, I already have a general outline in mind... How about this, I'll sketch out a simple rendering now, and we can discuss it together."
As he spoke, Qin Chuan opened a drawer and took out several sheets of white paper, along with pencils and colored pens of various hues. For someone skilled in design and fond of drawing, these items were always kept in the office.
When he had nothing else to do, Qin Chuan would often sketch.
Hearing that the boss was about to directly draw a store renovation rendering in front of everyone, the people who were seated on the sofa immediately gathered around, crowding the desk, watching Qin Chuan with curiosity.
Under their gazes, Qin Chuan picked up a pencil, thought for a few seconds, and then began to sketch skillfully on the white paper.
"Swish! Swish..."
In the large office, only the sound of the pencil scratching against the paper could be heard. With just a few strokes, a general outline of the store's design emerged on the paper.
This sight made everyone's eyes widen, including Chen Jin Yu.
Although it wasn't the first time he had seen Qin Chuan draw, such exquisite craftsmanship and fluid technique always left him amazed.
If Qin Chuan claimed to be an expert in the art world, no one would dare doubt him.
As for the others, many were witnessing Qin Chuan's impressive drawing skills for the first time. The pencil, as if imbued with magic, seemed to come alive, dancing on the paper.
"Damn, we're all human, all have hands, how can there be such a big difference between people!" Bai Xiaoguang blurted out uncontrollably.
"Some people's hands can be used for drawing, writing, playing the piano, all high-level pursuits. Our hands can only hold chopsticks! Are we just useless for this life..." Yao Dong also chimed in with emotion.
"Shut up, you two! Don't disturb the boss's creation!" Zheng Cheng Dao reprimanded them directly.
Time ticked by. Qin Chuan, seated on the sofa, would occasionally pause to think, or exchange a few words with Chen Jin Yu beside him. Many in the room found their conversations incomprehensible, like listening to ancient scriptures.
About half an hour later, Qin Chuan began to add details to the drawing.
The name of the store was decided as "Shendun Storage Cabinets," making it immediately clear what was being sold at a glance.
The font was chosen as Kai Shu (regular script), with a golden hue, exuding dominance.
This was complemented by Xinhua Electronics Factory's logo, and at the bottom corner, the slogan for Shendun Storage Cabinets: "Safe storage cabinets for your peace of mind!"
Qin Chuan and Chen Jin Yu debated the background wall design for a long time. Finally, they settled on a deep blue sea theme, conveying a serious and diligent attitude, perfectly aligning with the meaning of Shendun Storage Cabinets.
For the interior design, Qin Chuan opted for a flagship store model from later eras, favoring a minimalist style. This would be paired with promotional photos of Zhao Weiwei, Lin Xin Ru, and Fan Bin Bin. Under the exquisite lighting, the effect should be quite impressive.
After finalizing the rendering, Qin Chuan instructed Chen Jin Yu to find a printing factory to customize a batch of promotional photos featuring Zhao Weiwei, Lin Xin Ru, and Fan Bin Bin as spokespersons. These could be displayed outside or on the glass windows.
"Jin Yu, our time is extremely tight, only twenty days!" Qin Chuan pointed to the store rendering on the paper and said to Chen Jin Yu.
"This is our flagship store, and it's crucial. It will largely determine whether franchisees are willing to choose us!"
"You must hurry and get it done within half a month, and without any mistakes!"
"If you need manpower, you can draft them all!"
Chen Jin Yu glanced at the group of people beside him, a look of excitement on his face. His smile made everyone's teeth ache, implying he intended to ruthlessly exploit their labor in the coming days!
"Boss, where should we set up this flagship store?" Chen Jin Yu suddenly asked.
"Do we need to find a new storefront on the street?"
Qin Chuan shook his head. "There's no need for that. The flagship store will be set up within our factory... See that two-story flat building not far away? It's been vacant, used for storing miscellaneous items from the office building. I'll have it cleared out!"
Chen Jin Yu stood up and looked out the window.
"Hmm, that location is excellent, to the southeast of our office building. It's indeed very suitable as our factory's flagship store."
Qin Chuan immediately picked up the phone on his desk and called the administrative department, instructing them to quickly clear out the miscellaneous items and clean the place thoroughly.
"The rest of you, for this period, all of you will go and help Chen Jin Yu. No slacking, understand?" After completing these arrangements, Qin Chuan instructed everyone once more. They all nodded quickly, like little chicks pecking at rice.
What could they say? This was a task personally assigned by the boss, and besides, they had all been idle recently.
"Alright, we're pressed for time, and the task is heavy. Hurry up and get to work with Chen Jin Yu!" Qin Chuan waved his hand in conclusion.
"Boss, I have something to report to you!" Just then, Bai Xiaoguang suddenly spoke up, and the others hadn't left yet.
"What is it?" Qin Chuan asked, puzzled.
"It's about that Li Yuan San!" Bai Xiaoguang said.
"Boss, didn't you entrust this person to me to handle before you left? I've already set everything up. With just your word, we can close the net!"
