Tuesday, April 26th.

In the office, Pei Qian is trying to make a simple mind map on the computer.

The content of the mind map is very simple, that is, all the departments that may generate profits so far, as well as some auxiliary and transactional departments.

The relationship between these sectors is complex and of a different nature.

Some make more, some make less, and some don't;

Some departments have obvious subordinate or linkage relationships with each other, while others are not so closely connected;

The relationship between the profit department and the transactional department also seems to be different.

Mind mapping, in layman's terms, is to write all kinds of key information in small boxes, and then use various lines to connect these key information and mark the relationship between them.

Pei Qian decided to use different colors and different lines to represent the state of each department and the relationship between departments.

The departments in the red box represent the departments that have made a profit.

The sectors in the blue box indicate those that are not yet profitable and are in a relatively optimistic situation.

The black line represents that there is a connection between the two departments, for example, Touch Fish Takeaway is actually providing fitness meals for shared gyms, and for example, RoF installation and headwind logistics are basically in the state of conjoined babies;

The other is the red line, which represents the relationship between the two departments that has not yet taken place, but is likely to occur.

Pei Qian's idea is very simple, that is, to smooth out his own ideas through this mind map, and at the same time predict the possible departmental linkage in advance.

But after the initial sorting, Pei Qian soon found that the situation did not seem to be optimistic.

Judging from the situation on the chart, there is a red everywhere, and only a few departments such as Touch Fish Takeaway, Headwind Logistics, and TPDb website still maintain an unprofitable blue.

Moreover, the workload is much bigger than I imagined!

The blue lines are intricately intertwined, and when you comb through them, you can see that the connections between certain departments are far more complex than you previously thought.

What's more, there is a bug like oTTo technology, which is connected to almost all existing departments......

The dense black lines represent the irretrievable relationship that has occurred between the various departments, making the whole picture almost a net, with various explanations and small print, which looks very headache.

Pei Qian tried to draw a red line between two departments that were not very related, predicting the special relationship that might exist between them, but after drawing a few lines, it collapsed.

Because it seems that there is a theoretical possibility of linkage between all departments!

Pei Qian could only try to imagine the worst scenario after the linkage of the two departments, and mark it with a red line.

If it's some ambiguous and plausible connections, don't mark them, because there are already too many lines, and if you draw them like this, you will only disrupt your vision.

Pei Qian looked at this diagram of the relationship between various departments that he had spent two hours preliminarily compiling, and couldn't help leaning back in the chair and holding his forehead with his hand.

"How did things come to this......

"So my company has unknowingly gotten so bad?"

"Now I can't fully understand the intricacies of the departments under my control."

If there were only three or five departments, the relationship between them would be simple and could be straightened out very quickly.

But now there are more than a dozen departments, and who knows which two of them will have some inexplicable linkage?

It is impossible for Pei Qian to ask the head of the department to report everything to himself for decision, in that case, it is impossible for Mr. Pei to have normal rest and entertainment time, and he will patronize these trivial matters every day.

The current situation can only focus on the big and let go of the small, and focus on a few key departments.

"If you look at it a little more optimistically, in fact, the situation is okay, I have lost money in the last cycle, and I have slowly figured out the trick of losing money, and it should be smoother and smoother in the future."

"Yesterday, the indemnity managers should have entered the various departments, and next Saturday they will be gathered to conduct a big survey of the situation in all departments."

"Using the information of various departments spied by the management and loss students, and then improving this map, at least the understanding and early warning of all departments can be preliminarily completed, and compared with before, it can be regarded as a good control of the risk ......."

"There are too many contents in this picture, it's useless to be in a hurry, let's improve it slowly."

Pei Qian carefully saved and backed up this picture, so that he could view it at any time, reflect at all times, and prevent possible dangers.

He couldn't help but sigh that creating losses seemed to be becoming more and more a technical job......

As soon as I turned off the mind map and was about to watch a drama to rest, there was a knock on the door outside.

After getting permission to "come in", Lin Canrong cautiously pushed the door in.

Pei Qian was a little surprised.

Why did Chef Lin come?

Lin Canrong is the manager of Mingyun Private Kitchen, whether he worked in the Touching Fish Internet Café before or was later transferred to Mingyun Private Kitchen, he has worked diligently in his own post and has never been to Tengda's headquarters.

When I report something to Mr. Pei, I basically call or wait for Mr. Pei to go to Mingyun's private kitchen for dinner.

What's the matter today, to come to the office?

"Mingyun's private chef, is there anything going on?" Pei Qian couldn't help but look forward to it.

Most of the money-making departments came to report their work, but Pei Qian resisted.

Because most of these departments are here to ask Mr. Pei how to spend money, it is very annoying.

But Mingyun's private kitchen is different.

Because so far, Mingyun Private Kitchen has no room for improvement!

It is full every day, and the seats have been booked until next month, although they are making money every month, but there are so many seats, and the income has long been fixed, and there is no possibility of improvement.

Therefore, Pei Qian felt that Manager Lin came this time because there was something wrong with Mingyun's private kitchen, and the profitability was not good?

It's exciting!

Lin Canrong was a little entangled, and paused a little before he spoke: "Mr. Pei, you seem to have made the fish takeaway independent, encouraged you to open branches to expand, and also set up a special 'food laboratory' to study new dishes?" ”

The matter of touching fish takeaway has been arranged two weeks ago, and Pei Qian is thinking about making it possible to open more and pay more compensation, so he encourages the expansion of fish takeaway.

Two weeks have passed, and it must be in full swing.

Lin Canrong had been the person in charge of fish takeaway before, and he was Rui Yuchen's old superior, so he naturally couldn't hide the situation of fish takeaway.

But...... Lin Canrong is now in charge of Mingyun's private kitchen, and he came here because of the fish takeaway, what does it mean?

Pei Qian nodded with some confusion: "There is such a thing, so what?" ”

Lin Canrong's expression seemed to carry some small emotions: "Mr. Pei, this is not fair!" ”

"I know that the takeaway is a very important layout in the group's industry, and the temporary loss is to occupy the market, cultivate the consumption habits of customers, and make greater profits...... I have no opinion on the expansion of this fish takeaway. But ......"

Lin Canrong paused halfway through his words, and the corners of Pei Qian's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

What is a temporary loss is to occupy the market, cultivate customers' consumption habits, and make greater profits!

Don't over-read it!

Lin Canrong continued: "But Mingyun's private kitchen is also equally important! Why has Touch Fish Takeaway been losing money and can quickly open so many branches, while Mingyun Private Chef has been making a profit and the supply of seats has been in short supply, but there is no plan to open a branch at all? ”

"The quality of Mingfu Family Banquet is not as good as Mingyun's private kitchen, but it has also made a lot of money at present, which is enough to show that the consumption needs of high-end diners have not been fully met, and there is still profit margin in it!"

"Moreover, I think that Mingyun's private chef should also set up a food laboratory!"

"We have to think about how to better meet the taste of the public, but Mingyun Private Chef also has to think about how to meet the taste of high-end diners!"

"So...... I came this time with two requests. ”

"First, make good use of the brand of 'nameless restaurant', and then plan the site selection and open a branch on the premise of ensuring quality."

"Second, we will also set up a food lab to provide better dishes for diners."

Pei Qian was silent.

White was happy.

It turned out that he proposed a money-making plan to me!

Manager Lin, if you ask for this, then I definitely can't agree to you......

You're so right.

The fact that the Mingfu family banquet can make money and Mingyun's private chef has to queue up shows that the consumption needs of high-end diners have not been fully met.

But the reason why Fish Takeaway can expand is because it doesn't make money!

Mingyun Private Chef's store has already made so much money, and you still want me to open another one and continue to make money?

Don't burden me a bit, Qiuqiu!

In fact, Pei Qian was also very distressed, since Mingyun's private chef became popular, he could only eat at the scheduled time.

You can only eat once a week in the largest private room, and you can only eat once a month on the 20th.

But Pei Qian would rather wait than open another store to make more.

Do you want to open a branch now? Think too much, impossible!

Neither can the gastronomy lab.

Fish takeaway is for the taste of the public, the ingredients are relatively cheap, and most people do not pursue that kind of bells and whistles, and open a food laboratory, which has little improvement.

But Mingyun's private kitchen is aimed at high-end diners, and if those powerful chefs really set up a food laboratory and develop metaphysical dishes such as "fried air", they will definitely become even more famous and out of control!

Therefore, Pei Qian was very resistant to these two requests and could not agree.

Of course, Lin Canrong proposed that Mingyun's private chef also open a food laboratory, which is reasonable, and it is not easy to refuse bluntly, so he can only find a way to refuse.

He thought for a moment and said, "What does it mean to open a branch, do you think Mingyun Private Chef has reached the extreme now?" ”

Lin Canrong was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Say you've done it to the extreme?

If you think so, it is obviously complacent, because this industry can never be extreme.

But to say that it didn't go to the extreme?

Lin Canrong feels that the service of Mingyun Private Kitchen is already better than that of most high-end restaurants, and it cannot be said that there is no room for improvement at all, but the cost performance is very low.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Lin Canrong said: "It's not the ultimate, but opening a branch and a food lab can be regarded as a direction to pursue the ultimate, right?" ”

Pei Qian: "......"

It seems to make a lot of sense.

No, you can't be convinced, if you are convinced, you will make more money!

Pei Qian coughed lightly: "You can use the money earned by Mingyun's private chef freely, but you can't open a branch." ”

"Words from the Gastronomy Lab...... With the current size of Mingyun's private kitchen, it can't be done, and the chefs have to cook for the guests every day, so how can they have extra energy to do research? ”

"Your first goal is definitely to ensure that your customers have a dining experience, and don't be too ambitious to study how new dishes affect chefs' energy and reduce the quality of their dishes."

"At most, at most, I will allow you to make use of the research results of the Fish Takeaway Food Lab."

Pei Qian has now learned a very good way to refuse.

For those questions that can come up with reasons for refusal, give reasons, even if they are a little far-fetched;

For those who can't think of a reason, enforce it.

Anyway, everyone's brain supplement level is so high now, even if Mr. Pei makes an unreasonable request, everyone will think that it has another meaning, and if they mess up, they will only think that they don't understand enough.

It can be regarded as an unexpected gain left over after being misinterpreted so many times......

Sure enough, the expression on Lin Canrong's face changed, and he seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end, he swallowed it silently and turned it into a sentence: "Okay, Mr. Pei." ”
