Chapter 749: L'Espalier
After sending Chen Mu away, Qin Xu fell into deep thought.
It is undeniable that Chen Mu's suggestion is correct.
But here comes the problem again.
That is, how do they go about buying Michelin-starred restaurants that have already established a scale?
As we all know, a Michelin-starred restaurant, as long as it is properly managed, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily profit.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the owner of a Michelin-starred restaurant will not easily sell the restaurant in his hand.
This is an old hen that lays golden eggs.
Of course, the exception is Roger Ferguson, who sells a restaurant because of a failed investment.
"Qin, what's wrong?"
Xu Mengyao, who came out of the villa, saw Qin Xu frowning and pondering, and couldn't help but come to him and sit down with concern.
Qin Xu came back to his senses, smiled and took the beautiful woman's jade hand, and kissed it gently.
"It's nothing, it's just that you want to buy a few restaurants and you don't know where to start. ”
"Oh, what restaurant?"
A hint of dumbness flashed in Xu Mengyao's eyes, so soon to start acting?
Qin Xu didn't hide it, ** with the smooth white and tender jade hands of the beauty, he told Xu Mengyao, who was a little curious, about the method they had just discussed.
"It's a bit of a challenge. ”
Dai's eyebrows frowned slightly, and Xu Damei was also a little hesitant when she heard this.
In fact, there is no way, but the key to the problem is still in the money.
For example, the original value of this restaurant is 100 million, and if you spend 100 million to acquire it, the other party may ignore you.
Some people even think you're teasing him.
But if you bid 110 million, they'll think about it.
If you bid 150 million, they'll be tempted.
If you can bid 200 million, then this matter is basically stable.
After all, businessmen are profit-seeking.
As long as it's not something that has a special meaning or is hard for them to part with, there's nothing they can't sell.
However, in this way, their cost is too high.
Qin Xu and the others obviously thought of this, looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
If you want to let people cut their love and take food from the tiger's mouth, you don't know how much it will cost you to your side.
didn't let Qin Xu wait too long, at noon that day, Qin Xu received a call from Chen Mu.
On the phone, Chen Mu's voice was very excited, and he laughed and said:
"Boss, we're in luck, I inquired, the owner of L'Espalier, seems to be interested in selling the restaurant. ”
"Really?" Qin Xu sat up from the sofa with some surprise.
"Yes, boss, it seems that this has something to do with us. ”
"Something to do with us?"
Qin Xu was a little dumbfounded, could it be that this guy knew that he wanted to be a restaurant, so he planned to sell it?
seemed to know Qin Xu's thoughts, Chen Mu on the other side of the phone explained with a smile:
"It's not that the owner of L'Espalier is unpredictable, it's just that this restaurant is not too far away from us, and we are all in the same business district, so business has been a bit bad lately. ”
"Huh, what do you mean?"
Hearing Chen Mu's words, a vague thought suddenly flashed in Qin Xu's mind.
But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't figure it out, obviously it was a little close, but he couldn't open it.
"Yes, because we are in the same business district, we have absorbed a lot of customers. ”
Chen Mu said while smiling excitedly.
All of this has changed because of his own efforts.
"So, now is a good time to start?"
Seeing that Chen Mu was so excited, Qin Xu simply stopped thinking about what happened just now, but asked seriously.
"Yes, boss, why don't I test his mouth first?"
Seeing that Qin Xu was very interested, Chen Mu asked with some expectation.
"Go ahead, call me when you're ready. ”
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xu's mind was still thinking about a series of things that had happened just now.
He had a hunch that he must have overlooked something.
But what could it be?
Scratching his hair a little irritably, Qin Xu felt that he was just a little short of the truth.
But it's such a thin film, but it can't be pierced no matter what.
In the end, Qin Xu, who was a little dizzy, simply stopped thinking about this, but strode upstairs to the bedroom.
There, there is a budding rose, waiting for his caresse.
......
Three days went by in the blink of an eye.
When Qin Xu was still lying on the sofa leisurely, holding Xu Damei, eating and watching TV, the mobile phone rang suddenly again.
took out his mobile phone and looked at it, Qin Xu's face, which was still a little smiling, instantly became serious.
"Brother Chen, I hope this is good news. ”
There was silence on the phone for a while, and there was a burst of laughter, and then it seemed that something had been thought of, and then he said excitedly:
"Boss, it worked, and Mr. Larry Richards agreed to our terms. ”
"Oh, is it really done?" Qin Xu asked in disbelief.
In the past three days, almost every day Chen Mu would make a phone call to report the situation.
But every time, when Qin Xu picked it up with anticipation, Chen Mu's frustrated voice would come from inside.
Over time, seeing Chen Mu's phone, Qin Xu wanted to hang up directly.
"Yes, boss, five and five million dollars, including the hundreds of square meters of shop, belong to you. ”
When Qin Xu heard this, he immediately smiled contentedly.
However, thinking of Chef L'Espalier, Qin Xu asked with some eagerness:
"Brother Chen, what did Mr. Frank Wagner say, are you going to leave or continue to stay in the restaurant?"
Speaking of this, Chen Mu was a little embarrassed, and this is also one of the objects he has been trying to communicate with in the past few days.
"Hurry up, what's there to worry about. ”
Not hearing the answer he wanted, Qin Xu became a little impatient.
"Well, boss, Mr. Frank wants to take a stake in the restaurant as well. ”
Being urged again and again, Chen Mu said a little sneeringly.
"Want to take a stake in the restaurant?" Qin Xu couldn't help frowning.
There were many reasons why Chen Mu was allowed to take a stake in the restaurant.
One is because he introduced this restaurant to himself.
Second, it is also because for the sake of the face of the fellow countrymen, they are both Chinese, and they must help those who can help.
But the main reason was because Qin Xu was too lazy at that time, so he didn't want to take care of the affairs in the restaurant at all, and he didn't expect the restaurant to make money at all.
Therefore, it was agreed that Chen Mu would buy 10% of the shares at a price of 5 million US dollars.
But it's different now.
First of all, I am ready to do a big job, and it is impossible to give the fat in my hand to others to enjoy.
Secondly, if the restaurant has a stake in the chef, what about the next time?
You know, although Boston is big and New York is big, the circle of chefs is not big.
Especially this top-notch chef.
Excuse me, take another day off, I just moved the dormitory today, tired like a dog,
