Consulting services

One line, two phases

Both phases run on the same backbone: product structure design, then super menu design, then super model building, then the single-store campaign — with a list of key tasks that carries names and dates.

A programme run personally by Chen Yufu: RMB 680k for six months, RMB 1.28M for the full year.

One service line in two phases, not two separate products. The first six months establish the model; from month seven the engagement upgrades to organisation and full-year operating work.

How it phases

Six months, then the full year

A programme run personally by Chen Yufu: RMB 680k for six months, RMB 1.28M for the full year.

01 First 6 months · RMB 680k

Phase one · Strategic Positioning Program

Model building. Product structure → single-store model → strategic alignment. The engagement carries the campaign results through to a model that can be copied.

02 Months 7–12 · RMB 1.28M cumulative

Phase two · Enterprise Strategy Consulting

Organisation structure optimisation, market strategy planning, the full-year operating plan, the full-year product launch plan and single-store model refinement.

03 One line, not two products

Why it phases

A model that has not been built cannot be scaled by an organisation. Building first and then widening is cheaper than doing both at once and getting both wrong.

Prices cover consulting fees only; travel and third-party costs are excluded. The signed contract prevails.

Which one fits

Pick by the state of your organisation

You have an organisation already

Departments exist and mostly work, but the business has hit a ceiling. That usually points at Enterprise Strategy Consulting.

You are still building the organisation

Departments were set up recently and the team is still finding its rhythm. That usually points at the Strategic Positioning Program.

You are not sure

Then the first conversation is exactly about that. We will say which line fits, and if neither does, we will say that too.

Working process

Phase one · Reading the situation

Insight into trends · research and analysis

Nothing is proposed until the situation is read. Three pieces of fieldwork run in parallel, and each produces evidence rather than opinion.
