The small dinner held at Zhou Fangyuan's house was very successful, the students saw his beautiful small courtyard, tasted the grapes that Zhou's father took care of, and ate hamburgers and fried chicken.

Zhou Fangyuan also gained something, because he made a small breakthrough today.

In his previous life, he was reluctant to let his classmates come to his house, but this was the case here, and later when he moved to the city, he always felt that his family had little money, the house was small, and the decoration was very old and monotonous, and he thought that his classmates would laugh at him because of it.

This can be regarded as a kind of inferiority, Zhou Fangyuan in the previous life was a person with a very complex personality and many shortcomings. He has low self-esteem but is arrogant, and he always puts the blame on others without learning and skills, and these faults have created him who failed in the previous life. In this life, if he wants to make himself better, he has to make changes in all aspects, and this small gathering can be regarded as a kind of progress. In his previous life, he couldn't do what he did today, and even when a classmate wanted to come to his house, he would always refuse.

After Zhou's father and Zhou's mother went home, they learned about what happened today, praised Zhou Fangyuan for being sensible, and understood that the classmates would bring them something when they left.

In fact, isn't that the case between people? If you give me some benefits, I will find a way to give you more benefits tomorrow, and if you come and go, people who are not very familiar with you will become familiar, and people who are familiar with you will become closer, whether it is friends or classmates, feelings need to be cultivated a little bit, and the relationship network is also compiled little by little in this way.

Zhou Fangyuan did the right thing this time, as long as the students he invited were a little bit sensible.

So, are these of his classmates sensible? Not sure, but their parents must be sensible. So this is a good start, as long as this continues to develop, the relationship between Zhou Fangyuan and his classmates will be more mature than in the previous life.

......

Fast forward to the beginning of November, and the impact of the parent-teacher conference has gradually passed. Everyone knows what will happen to the students who don't do well when they go home, and there is no need to say much about the treatment of the students who do well.

No matter what happens at home, no one will bring their emotions to school, and the teachers in the school do not really treat someone coldly because they did not do well in the exam, the teachers are still very conscientious in carrying out the education work, as for whether the students below are willing to learn, it is not something they can worry about.

The Internet café also recently paid a second dividend, which was slightly less than the last time, and Zhou Fangyuan shared less than 70,000 yuan.

It is normal for income to fall, and it has been two months since the Internet café opened, which is enough time for other Internet cafes to complete the renovation and open for business. Moreover, there is Kailing Internet Cafe to play the front, and the Internet café in the back only needs to copy the model of Kailing Internet Cafe, and there is no need to even carry out any innovation.

If it weren't for the fact that it was the first to open and the most famous, the income of the Internet café might continue to decline.

But even so, the income for the whole of October was satisfactory.

The third brother's investment has been completely recovered, and now it is pure earning. The landlord Wang's capital has also been recovered, and with a surplus, everything is developing in a good direction. In addition, I have to say one thing, the third brother has not done nothing in the past two months, he has been running broadband, and finally completed the broadband access work of the Internet café in mid-October.

Although it was only a small change, it undoubtedly allowed Kailing Internet Cafe to maintain its lead. Yes, there is almost nothing interesting on the Internet now, but that is for Zhou Fangyuan, after all, he has experienced the era of great development of the Internet in later generations. And for the 98-year-old Beitong people, the Internet is still the latest trendy thing.

Because of the ability to access the Internet, Kailing Internet cafes are still full, and the decrease in income is not because customers have been diverted, the diversion is certain, but in the final analysis, it is due to too many members before. The membership fee of these members is paid in a lump sum, and they will not make any profit when they come to the Internet after that, so it will invisibly reduce the income of the Internet café.

But this is completely acceptable, after all, if they don't have a membership system, they won't be able to recover the principal quickly.

The third brother has recently pondered opening a second Internet café, Zhou Fangyuan did not stop it, nor did he make any suggestions, he completely left this matter to the third brother to do it himself. He can help if there is a need for him. But as long as the third brother doesn't open his mouth, he won't meddle casually.

After all, the Internet café is a small road, and the third brother uses it to practice his hands, and it is not a smart practice to put too much energy into it. What's more, Zhou Fangyuan has more important things to do recently.

In addition to not falling behind in learning, my mother's career has finally reached its infancy.

All the licenses have been completed, and it has been running for more than half a month, and this is still the case that Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather occasionally delivers words, if you rely on yourself completely, it may take a month or two to complete all the procedures.

Of course, even if the formalities are not complete, it is okay to build the store first. But Zhou Fangyuan is hopeful for his fast food, he doesn't want to be able to compete with world-famous companies like KFC McDonald's, but in Beitong, he wants to become bigger and stronger. If he has the opportunity to go out, he will spare no effort to do it.

Therefore, this store can't leave any stain from the beginning, and a small stain now is likely to become a filth that can never be washed off in the future, which Zhou Fangyuan definitely does not want to see.

So he prefers to slow down, and he also wants to be able to be perfect every step of the way.

Now that the formalities have been completed and the store has been rented, it is located in the street shop under the Dongxing Building. The area is about 200 square meters, and the annual rent is 500,000 yuan, which is not cheap.

But considering the location of the East Star Building, it can definitely be regarded as the center of the city center, so the rent of 500,000 yuan a year is already cheap. If it weren't for the new opening of the building, it would be necessary to attract more merchants, and at the same time, the business that Zhou Fangyuan's family wanted to do in Beitong could also be regarded as a scorpion baba - the only one, it was really impossible to win a shop of more than 200 square meters at this price.

However, even if it was 500,000 yuan in rent, they couldn't take it out at once, they just paid two months' rent in advance, and it was written in the contract that if they couldn't make up the rent for the first half of the year in these two months, Dongxing Building had the right to take back the shop at any time.

Zhou's mother was a little resistant to this, but Zhou Fangyuan resolutely agreed. Why don't you agree? Their shop is the most lively place on Daxi Street, and the rent can be rented out if it is doubled, let alone 500,000 yuan a year. If they weren't going to make the earliest Western-style fast food in Beitong City, and it was also a kind of publicity for the East Star Building, would they rent it to them so cheaply?

And even if it's cheap now, I don't know what the price will be next year, but it's good to take advantage of it now, what kind of bicycle do you want?

The lease contract was signed quickly, and at this point, all the hardware was ready, and the next step was the intense renovation.

According to Zhou's mother's idea, they want to open before Christmas, and now it has entered November, and Christmas is only a month and a half away. Time can be said to be very tight. And dry catering is not the same as doing an Internet café. An Internet café is just a matter of putting together a computer, but a restaurant is not so simple.

There are too many things to prepare, such as the necessary equipment for the kitchen, large ovens, large freezers, etc., as well as incubators, soymilk machines, which need to be bought and initially installed at the same time as the decoration.

Tables, chairs and benches need to be prepared a lot, and this one is better to get some. What about the waiters? Do you want to be trained? The kitchen can't rely on Zhou's mother alone, and you also need other staff.

In addition to this, there is one most important point, and that is the incoming channel.

When making Western-style fast food, the most consumed is chicken. You need it in burgers, you need fried chicken, and you need a lot of chicken for all kinds of chicken snacks, and it's not suitable to buy it in the market like before, not to mention the price, and it's not stable enough. If the goods are out of stock one day, do you want the restaurant to close down?

Therefore, the biggest problem facing Zhou Fangyuan's family now is the supply of goods, and they must find a stable supply of chicken in large quantities.

Zhou's mother's idea was to run a few more markets, and as soon as this proposal came out, it was vetoed by Zhou Fangyuan's father and son.

Zhou's idea was to find the larger farms in the surrounding area, or simply establish a long-term supply relationship with the farmers.

This proposal was a bit of a trick, but in the end it was rejected by Zhou Fangyuan. It's not that farms and farmers can't meet their needs, in fact, although their amounts are large, they are not so large that a farm can't provide them. The main reason for Zhou Fangyuan's refusal is that the farms and farmers around Beitong are not up to standard in breeding technology, and the chickens raised are basically feed chickens.

Although the feed chicken has a lot of meat, but the taste is poor, and the most important thing is that these things are not healthy, the feed generally contains hormones, and the content is not low, eating into the stomach will affect the human body. Even if the current people generally don't care, then they can't be careless. It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, it's a big deal, that's not a joke.

Therefore, the most ideal chicken is still free-range chickens, but free-range chickens are too expensive, so Zhou Fangyuan put the goal on the chickens fed by the combination of feed and grain.

The yield is enough, the hormone content is not too high, just right for them.

So where do you have such chickens?

"Meat Factory!"

Zhou Fangyuan faced the puzzled gaze of his parents and gave the answer.
