Chapter 513 You Are My Woman (Eleven)

• Chadwick Fullner carefully reviewed the report with the Marketing Department team, engaging in discussions. The following day, Chadwick Fullner, accompanied by two Marketing Department employees and the managers of Store One and Store Two, spent a day out together. This routine continued for the next two days. After three days of outings, Chadwick Fullner proceeded to sign a contract with a developer. They secured a storefront spanning two hundred and twenty square meters, located in a newly developed property. The Marketing Department and purchasing staff had made selections and negotiations, with Chadwick Fullner making the final decisions.
• Ultimately, Chadwick Fullner signed the agreement, leasing the space for a year at a price of four hundred thousand. Due to it being a bare shell in a new property, the price was relatively lower. The developer also offered a discount to Chadwick Fullner as a valued client. However, the annual rent had to be paid upfront, posing a cash flow challenge for a small shop owner like Chadwick Fullner. Despite the need to invest a few hundred thousand in renovations, the ten-year agreement made the annual cost manageable.
• Upon finalizing the lease for the third store, Chadwick Fullner appointed the original manager of the second store to lead the third store's operations. The manager oversaw all store preparations, while equipment procurement was handled by the procurement department, finances by the finance department, and marketing by the Marketing Department. The operations department devised a detailed plan for the new store, outlining personnel numbers, equipment requirements, and decor details in documents and renderings. Each department managed its responsibilities efficiently, allowing Chadwick Fullner, the true manager, to have a less strenuous role. The new manager of the third store, previously managing the second store, was a business management graduate who understood the operations well.
