Tips for getting rich

Yang Lan worked quickly, and the next day, she sent Chen Yu the printed and electronic versions of the contract.

"Lawyer Yang, so fast. Did you work late last night?" Chen Yu asked.

"No, I didn't."

"Even with this many pages, it's surprising you finished so quickly."

"Well... Actually, we handle many similar cases, so we only needed to make some modifications. Since you were in a hurry, I prioritized your request."

"You mean you only had to change a few names?"

"Well, more or less."

Tears welled up in Chen Yu's eyes.

Being a lawyer was certainly a lucrative profession.

She basically just spent a few minutes modifying this contract, and she earned 1,000 yuan.

Chen Yu kept this complaint to himself; he didn't say anything.

Contracts often followed a similar pattern, and there was no need to create a new one for each client. You could add some clauses or make some modifications if necessary, and that would suffice.

"But Chen, rest assured, I carefully reviewed and modified your contract. If you encounter any issues, feel free to reach out to me."

"I understand. I was just commenting. Professionals should handle professional matters. Not to mention 1,000 yuan, even if you charged 10,000 yuan, it would be well-deserved."

"Thank you for understanding."

"You're welcome. I'll likely need your help in the future, Lawyer Yang."

After receiving the contract, Chen Yu examined it carefully. Once he confirmed there were no issues, he prepared to move forward with the franchise.

There were four ways to franchise: voluntary, entrusted, franchised, and free.

However, generally speaking, voluntary and entrusted franchise models were the main ones.

Voluntary franchising meant that businesses willingly joined a brand and paid a certain franchise fee. All profits generated belonged to the business, and the headquarters provided guidance without sharing the profits.

Franchising involved businesses paying a franchise fee, and the headquarters would provide some return on investment for decoration. However, businesses only had operational rights, and profits had to be shared with the headquarters. Additionally, during operations, businesses needed to follow the headquarters' instructions.

In summary, Chen Yu chose voluntary franchising.

The reason for this choice was twofold. Firstly, currently, Snail Beauty had only one store, which essentially served as the headquarters. However, the headquarters didn't have much money, so it was impossible to provide financial support to franchisees. Secondly, for small eateries like Snail Beauty, Chen Yu primarily targeted small operators. Transparency was low in terms of both procurement and profits, and the headquarters couldn't effectively supervise these aspects.

Instead of participating in profit sharing with franchisees, it was simpler to charge a franchise fee.

Of course, if they expanded in the future and became a more upscale brand, voluntary franchising might not be suitable.

"How can I attract other businesses to join the franchise?" Chen Yu pondered this as he put away the contract.

Currently, while Snail Beauty had some reputation in Xinfeng, it was relatively unknown in the city and province. Attracting other businesses to join would be challenging.

In general, in the future, franchise methods usually involved brands reaching a certain size, where people became familiar with the brand, and naturally, there would be individuals interested in franchising. However, if they followed this path, Snail Beauty would have to manage its operations for several years. As Chen Si Mian, his father, had said, it could be as little as three years or as much as five years before they could consider this route.

However, waiting for such a long time would mean missing out on any early opportunities. By the time a multitude of Chinese restaurant brands rose in the future, there might not be any chance left for Snail Beauty.

"I need to think of a solution," Chen Yu thought.

His eyes lit up with an idea, showcasing the advantage of being a reincarnated individual.

"Jian Ge, are you busy with your business lately?" Chen Yu inquired.

"It's been really busy," Zhang Jianming replied.

"That busy, huh?"

"Yeah, ever since you showed off with the  equipment, we've had a lot of new business."

"But you must have some downtime, right?"

"Of course, we can't be grinding 24 hours a day."

"That's good. I need your help with something."

"What is it?"

"I want you to post on various major websites during your workshop's downtime."

"What kind of posts?"

"Posts about joining Snail Beauty."

"Snail Beauty? Isn't that your family's business?"

"Yes, I want to attract people to join."

As he spoke, Chen Yu sent some pre-written promotional content to Zhang Jianming.

"Make the Most Profitable Business of 2001: Sell Snails."

"Looking to Join a Great Franchise? Choose Snail Beauty."

"Join the Famous Brand Snail Beauty for Only 10,000 Yuan Upfront."

"Which Snack Shop is the Most Famous? It's Snail Beauty."

"Snail Beauty: The Real Money-Making Snack Shop..."

Looking at the plethora of promotional articles that Chen Yu had sent, Zhang Jianming couldn't help but be amazed. "Oh my, Chen Yu, this is just blatant advertising."

"Who said it's advertising? I'm helping them find business opportunities," Chen Yu replied.

"Yeah, yeah, but this seems too fake. Will anyone really want to join?"

"You won't know until you try, right?"

"Alright, I'll help you post."

"It's not enough for just you; get everyone from the workshop involved. And don't let them work for nothing. I'm sending you 1,000 yuan for publicity."

"Chen Yu, we don't need that kind of payment for such a small task. Besides, you have shares in the workshop."

"I do have shares, but what I'm doing now is a personal matter. Business is business, and personal is personal. Moreover, I can't let everyone work for free. I've transferred the money to your account, and you can distribute it to the others later."

"Well, if you insist, we'll do it your way," Zhang Jianming reluctantly agreed.

"Guys, Yu Ge needs a little help," Zhang Jianming told the workshop members.

"What's the matter?"

"We need to post some articles on websites, and Yu Ge has sent 1,000 yuan for each of us to share later."

"Jian Ge, this isn't right. It's just a small favor. Yu Ge is too generous. Posting a few articles is nothing. We're more than happy to help Yu Ge."

"Alright, enough with the flattery. Yu Ge has already transferred the money. Everyone, take a look at the articles I've sent, and then post them on various websites."

While the workshop members were saying they didn't need the money, sharing 1,000 yuan each still meant they'd receive a decent sum. A few dozen yuan could buy them several late-night snacks. Moreover, posting articles was not a difficult task, and they were all energized to help with such a good opportunity.

"You'll never guess how much money you can make selling snails."

"Snail Beauty – A Thousand Profits in One."

"Earn 5,000 yuan a month with Snail Beauty and get rich."

"Still worried about starting your own business? Still troubled by not knowing what to do? The Snail Beauty Group is building a brand..."

One had to admit that these workshop members were indeed creative. After receiving some promotional content from Chen Yu, they had let their imaginations run wild and added many ideas of their own.

Although these promotional articles were blatantly advertisements, it didn't matter how much they looked like ads or how much they seemed to be deceiving. They couldn't withstand the bombardment of a massive number of posts.

Unintentionally, under the onslaught of a plethora of advertisements, a brand called "Snail Beauty" began to gain some recognition online.
