Chapter 124: Scheduling Issues_1
Many people left messages on Shuidilao’s official Weibo, asking when Shuidilao would open stores in other cities.
Regarding this issue, Chen Yuanxiang had communicated with Shen Dong.
Seeing how popular Shuidilao was, many people called them, expressing their desire to franchise.
The two held the same view, to operate a self-owned brand and not to franchise.
Although developing Shuidilao through franchising could allow store fronts to cover the nation at the fastest speed.
And there would be no need to worry about labor, store management or rent—just send someone to guide them, and then collect the franchise fee.
However, this method made it impossible to unify management, which could easily cause problems and ultimately affect Shuidilao’s reputation.
Once the reputation collapsed, it would be very difficult to restore.
Therefore, pursuing the self-operated path was the most reliable.
It allowed for vertical management and ensured that the service in every city’s Shuidilao was consistently of extreme quality.
Such a path would naturally be much more difficult, and it would require more capital as well.
