Chapter 69: Household Management Company

  "I have a friend who runs a housekeeping company in Kyoto and recently wants to open up the market in Anping, but he is an outsider and is not familiar with the local conditions here, so he wants to find a local partner who knows Anping."

  Mo Shaokun looked at Father Fang, and the housekeeping company was still a fresh word for people nowadays, just like supermarkets. Although service companies had emerged in recent years, that deformed industry and housekeeping were two different things.

  During this period, Mo Shao Kun had been trying to find a project that was suitable for Fang's father and mother to operate. After some thought, it seemed that only the family business was most suitable. Neither Fang's father nor mother had a high level of education, and they were both born workers, so it would be difficult for them to do anything else.

  As for saying what friends think about finding someone to cooperate with? That's completely nonsense. Can't directly tell Dad Fang and Mom Fang that I'll invest in your business and let you make money, right? Even thinking about it with my knees knows what the outcome will be.

  According to Mo Shaokun's idea, after the domestic service company is on the right track, he will find an excuse to let that non-existent partner withdraw his shares and hand over the company to Father Fang and Mother Fang.

  "What's a domestic company? What is this thing?" Fang Dad looked at Mo Shaokun with confusion.

  "What is known as a home services company actually provides services to ordinary families, including moving, cleaning, nursing care, elderly companionship, babysitting... and so on. All of these are within the scope of services provided by home services companies. Nowadays, people's lives are getting better and better, and many people's consumption concepts have also changed compared to before. Take moving house for example, if you do it yourself, you'll be tired and need to ask relatives and friends for help with food and drink, not to mention the emotional debt that comes with it. But if there is a company that provides moving services for them, they don't need to do anything except pay a certain fee, I think many people would be happy to do so."

  "Nowadays, many families are dual-income households, and when the children are still young and there is no one to take care of them, they can only ask their elderly relatives to do so. However, the elderly are getting older and their physical condition is not good either. If we could provide nanny services for these people, that is, find someone to help take care of their children and charge a certain fee, I think many people would be willing to do so as well. Sweeping and cleaning, as well as accompanying the elderly, are also based on this principle."

  Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang exchanged a glance, and after a moment, Mr. Fang shook his head and chuckled: "This is just the servant of the old society, we are now in a new era, can't afford to take a step back."

  "Uncle, your understanding is biased. How can this be considered exploitation? The exploited class refers to those who are oppressed, whereas the relationship between our employees and employers is equal! You have a need, I can satisfy that need, and then you pay me a certain fee - it's as simple as that. It's just like buying something! The only difference is that what we're selling is service." Mo Shaokun explained with a smile.

  Mr. Fang frowned and stopped talking, while Mrs. Fang lowered her head as if carefully considering the feasibility.

  A moment later, Mrs. Fang looked up at Mr. Fang and said: "I think Shao Kun makes sense. Old Fang, think about it. Not long ago, when the old Lin family moved, all the neighbors went to help. We didn't spend less money, nor did we owe fewer favors. And that silly boy even broke their big color TV. The Lin family didn't even dare ask us to compensate them. If I were in charge of such a company, I would definitely be happy to find these people to move our house. It's so much more convenient and we don't have to owe anyone favors. Moreover, if there are any scratches or bumps on the furniture, we can also ask them for compensation."

  "That's the idea, Uncle. Your thinking is a bit conservative now. The top leaders are all saying that we should be brave in exploration and innovation. Just look at those who have gone into business over the years, every one of them has made a fortune!" Mo Shaokun added, striking while the iron was hot.

  Father Fang hesitated and said: "But your aunt and I have been workers all our lives, we don't understand these things."

  Mo Shaokun smiled and said, "This housekeeping company is actually very easy to operate. You can have your own people do the moving and cleaning work. Your factory's efficiency isn't great right now, and there are many people who want to make some extra money on the side, right? If you get a job, just find a few free people to do it, and if not, everyone goes back to their normal work without any loss. Plus, this way, the cost is minimal, just pay for each move. If it develops well in the future, we can hire some full-time staff, but if it doesn't develop well, then we can just stop without any significant losses."

  The company wants to develop or formalize, but Mo Shao Kun knows that being impatient will not work. With Fang's father's stubbornness, if he were to ask him to quit his job and focus on this full-time, he would definitely be worried. It's better to let him start with a temporary position first, and when he finds out that it's feasible, he'll know how to choose without needing to say anything.

  "As for those nannies and caregivers, you can adopt an intermediary approach. That is to help people introduce themselves, whoever needs it comes to you, you help them find a suitable candidate, and charge some introduction fee in the middle, this way there's no risk."

  Father Fang fell into deep thought. After hearing Mo Shaokun's words, it seemed that this matter could indeed be done. Anyway, there was no risk and even if they failed in the end, there would be no loss.

  "Shao Kun, is your friend reliable? And what does he mean by wanting to cooperate?" Fang's mother asked.

  "That friend of mine is absolutely reliable, actually he's a relative of my family. Da Gui should have told you about it, right? Last time I went to Kyoto was because I found a long-lost relative. As for the cooperation method, all the initial investments including tool purchases, moving vehicles and advertising expenses etc. were all paid by him. However, since he's in Kyoto and doesn't have time to come over here, the management side still needs to be taken care of by you guys. The profit will be split 50/50, and later on when the scale gets bigger we can discuss the stock distribution."

  "Is this a good thing? We don't have to spend a single cent and can still get half?" Fang's mom looked at Mo Shaokun with some suspicion.

  "Ah, Auntie, this money isn't just given to you for free," Mo Shaokun said with a smile. "All the matters here need to be handled by you, my relative at most only invested some in the early stage. If we really talk about it, he's actually taking advantage of us. He just needs to invest some money and wait for the dividend without doing anything."

  "Old Fang, I think this can be done! Shall we give it a try?" Fang's mom said to Fang's dad.

  But Fang's father still couldn't make up his mind, he still felt that this matter was not reliable. The thing itself was nothing, after listening to Mo Shaokun's explanation, he also thought it was feasible. But the problem is, would anyone be willing to pay for their own business? This kind of good thing he had never encountered in his life!

  It seems that Mo Shaokun had guessed what Mr. Fang was worried about, and he looked at Mr. Fang seriously: "Uncle, you also know the relationship between me and Da Kui, although we are not biological brothers, but in my opinion, we are no different from real brothers. It just so happens that my relative is looking for someone to cooperate with here, this good thing would rather benefit our own people than outsiders! You think that's reasonable, right?"

  "Shao Kun, your uncle has been a worker all his life and is still stubborn. He can't turn his brain around, you talk to your aunt about this matter, I think it's feasible! If he doesn't agree, then let your aunt do it herself!" Fang's mom glared at Fang's dad, then warmly pulled up Mo Shao Kun's hand, with a radiant glow in her eyes.

  At present, Mo Shaokun also talked about some basic cognition of the home service company. In fact, he is not very familiar with this industry either. The problem is that this is originally a low-threshold industry without any technical content. Even if he only knows a little bit, in today's era, it can be considered as forward-looking experience.
