1987: Sleepless Tonight

"A car is a very convenient means of travel. Many people will definitely use this tool to travel in the future, and as a shopping mall, this situation is even more common. If there is no place to park cars, it will definitely affect the overall scale of the business. .”

"The garage definitely needs to be built, but it will probably be idle for a long time, and there won't be many cars parked in it."

Kevin thinks the idea of ​​the garage is very good, but he is not optimistic about the usage rate of the garage.

Hearing this, Lu Hao smiled softly.

Whether it is Chinese people or foreigners, their understanding of the Chinese nation is still low. They don’t know that once our country has good soil, good policies, and good principles, it will burst out with great potential. .

This potential will make the entire society feel like it is on a rocket, developing rapidly.

Confucianism has been engraved in the bones. As long as the rulers put the people in their hearts a little, the people will be grateful. As long as the environment is better, they can work diligently.

The current number of private cars in the country is about 60. The population is 11 billion, and only nearly 2000 people own one private car.

In another 30 to 2 years, the number of private cars in the country will reach 14 million, with a population of 7 billion, and an average of [-] people will own a private car!

2000 versus 7!

This ratio is amazing, and the progress it represents is amazing!

Cars are no longer a luxury item, but will become an asset for many people, including ordinary people.

The construction of the city will also be due to improper early planning. I did not expect that social development would be so rapid. A car that would have cost tens of thousands of households, or at least tens of thousands of households, would become People's travel tools will become so cheap.

Therefore, when many cities are planning, there are not many parking spaces and the roads are not wide. As a result, the old urban areas of some big cities have to take various measures to restrict traffic flow.

"Actually, from my point of view, a one-story garage is actually not enough from a long-term perspective. The reason why we only build a one-story garage instead of two or three floors is because we consider that if we build an underground garage Too many garages will affect the progress of the construction. At the same time, the difficulty of construction will also increase, and the cost will also increase. The reconstruction and expansion of the Wanjia Department Store will definitely not be accomplished overnight, let alone once and for all. It will not last for decades. If it remains unchanged, we will definitely continue to demolish it and build a larger commercial complex." Lu Hao said, "With the development of society, we must continue to renovate and expand to meet the needs of citizens."

His words shocked everyone present.

I originally thought that the garage on the first floor was unnecessary and very wasteful. Even Kevin also felt that although the garage was useful, in this situation in China, it would cause a relatively large waste and leave many spaces vacant. .

However, Lu Hao said that the one-story garage is not enough, and even two or three floors are needed to meet the demand.

Can society develop so fast and the vehicle ownership rate be so high?

Lu Hao's words, his strong optimism for society, and the expressions on everyone's faces were all photographed and recorded by reporters in the conference room.

"Mr. Lu is always bold, his thoughts are bold, and he is also bold in his judgment of the social situation. It is a good thing to have such confidence. In fact, I also want to put KFC in the Wanjia Department Store after the reconstruction and expansion. It is best to be on the first floor, so that it can not only take care of the customers who enter the department store, but also take care of the customers who do not enter the department store, and attract more customer flow." Kevin said.

"I have no objection to your request and it can be added to the contract."

He also brought a pen and paper, took it out immediately, and took notes.

Then, he looked at Lu Hao and said, "Mr. Lu, what else do you want?"

"The decoration and construction design of the branch are completely decided by KFC. Others are not allowed to interfere. I also have different opinions on this point." Lu Hao said, "I also have the right to make suggestions about the decoration, design and construction of KFC stores. Have the right to vote.”

KFC's success in the country did not happen overnight. Nor were all the products available at the beginning. Instead, they were continuously improved and innovated with the development of society and specific forms.

I have also taken the wrong path and made mistakes.

It's just that because KFC is relatively large, it occasionally makes a few mistakes. Although there are losses, it is not enough to break the muscles and bones, and it cannot bring down KFC. It will recover after a while.

This is just like cancer cells. If cancer cells grow in relatively small animals and continue to replicate, they will crowd out the space of other organs of the small animal, affect the function of the organs, and eventually lead to the death of the host.

But if the host is large enough, such as an elephant or a whale, then even if these animals get cancer, there are almost no cases of death from cancer.

There are people who have a talent for business since birth, but they are very few. Most business geniuses actually gain experience through constant failures and then achieve good results.

The biggest reliance on gaining experience is sufficient trial and error costs.

So is KFC.

But now Lu Hao wants to skip the trial and error cost of KFC and get it right in one step.

He doesn't care about other stores, but he doesn't have to be responsible for the decoration of the KFC store he has joined, but he must have the right to make suggestions.

"Mr. Lu, in the specific cooperation details, you did not require yourself to participate in the decoration design of KFC branches, and you also said that KFC will be responsible for this aspect, because we have experience in this area and unified decoration , unified design, unified management, unified training, including unified procurement of raw materials, unified transportation, can greatly reduce risks." Kevin expressed his doubts.

"I didn't ask to lead the decoration, I just wanted to get the right to make suggestions. As for whether you accept my suggestions, it will be decided by everyone together." Lu Hao said.

"The reason why I want the right to suggest and vote is not because I want certain rights, let alone want to get involved in KFC's affairs. In fact, I am worried that I will not adapt to the climate and KFC's influence on our culture and our people. I don’t understand the concept of life. I can’t meet the needs of customers well in terms of decoration design, etc., so I want to make suggestions when designing and decorating. Moreover, my suggestions on decoration design, including voting rights, are only for those who follow me. The KFC branch I work with.”
