Chapter 30: A Little Legend
"There's a traffic jam on the road, you just take care of the storefront...... Tell Xueqiang that it is better to be slower, don't be fooled, and let the guests wait a little longer is not a big problem, but if the food tastes wrong, people will not come next time...... Okay, so be it. Lin Yi hung up the phone, looked at the clogged road, and couldn't help but be depressed - he knew that his buddy would come by tram.
"You're running a restaurant?" said the driver in the front seat suddenly.
"That's right. Lin Yi responded.
"Where's your shop, in the alley next to K. Wah Building?" the driver added.
"Do you know that place?" said Lin Yi with a smile. That alley wasn't the main road, and people who didn't work around it would rarely know about it.
"Hmm......" The driver answered, speechless.
This chat level ...... Lin Yi couldn't complain, and continued to pick up his mobile phone to kill time, but he didn't want the driver to pause for a while and said, "We are considered peers." ”
"Oh......" This time it was Lin Yi's turn and he was not interested in chatting.
The driver said, "Do you know about the food street? That's what I contracted, my name is Wang Weidong." ”
"Heh, big boss......" Lin Yi pouted slightly. It is said that when the food street first opened, Lin Yi secretly cursed the food street and robbed all the business in his store - when the food street first opened, there were no less activities such as big rewards, sending people to nearby office buildings to issue coupons, what to eat ten yuan for five yuan, order one and get one free, etc., plus the new opening, unified decoration, new tableware or something, it is indeed very attractive, and it directly robbed the nearby diners, which led to the original restaurant in the alley.
But now Lin Yi's resentment against the food street is not so heavy - the business in his store is already too busy, where is the effort to hate others?
"Which store are you, can't it be that Chinese noodles?" asked the driver, Wang Weidong, again.
As the owner of the food street, Wang Weidong had already investigated the surrounding competitors when the contractor was half a floor of the contractor and the food street was rebuilt, and several restaurants in the alley were naturally the main targets of the investigation, and even went door to door to eat, but he knew that the owners of that street were all middle-aged. Until one of them was transferred to a young man, who came to himself and rented three storefronts, thinking that the young man was the one in the back seat.
But this young man has become a legend!
That's right, in the catering industry around K. Wah Building on Qiyi Road, Lin Yi has become a legend!
A small shop is full every day, and people who have eaten it say that it is a delicacy in the world; peers are crowded out, but two stores have closed down in succession; in half a month, one store has become two, and the business of peers is so hot that anyone who sees it is red; on the first day of the opening of the new store, they are clamoring to open a chain store, and it has only been less than half a month, and the four franchise stores are about to open......
There is no impermeable wall in this world, and Lin Yi's expansive development has long been seen by his peers, especially Wang Weidong, who has inquired about Lin Yi's biggest "secret" - the statue of the ancestor!
For this reason, Wang Weidong deliberately contacted the advertising store on that street through Cui Yuchao, who had a shop at a high price in the food street, and got a statue of Yi Ya, and then went to Wutai Mountain and invited a monk to open the light at a high price, but the result was - it didn't work!
Even the food court business is getting worse and worse!
That's right, the business of several shops on that street is getting more and more prosperous, customers are seriously diverted, and the business of the food street is of course getting worse and worse!
What's even more depressing is that Wang Weidong contracts the food street, and implements a sales commission model, that is, in addition to the need to pay an entrance fee when the tenant is good to settle in, he does not have to pay rent every month, but all the shops have to give him a commission for every meal sold. Anyway, the food court has a unified cashier, and only a part of it needs to be deducted according to the sales of each store.
The advantage of this model is that the better the business of the food street, the more Wang Weidong will earn, but if every store in the food street has no business, the risk taken by the store is small, and Wang Weidong will also lose money!
Pity this period of time Wang Weidong was so worried that he lost his hair one by one, you must know that the money to open the food street was all borrowed by him, the first month of crazy big rewards, the entrance fees of each shop were also lost, I was counting on completely squeezing a few shops in the alley, and I began to make a lot of money in the second month, but the current situation, let alone making money, I can't get enough commission to pay rent to the mall!
In desperation, Wang Weidong believed the rumors about Lin Yi, but the statue of the ancestor was not spiritual. However, he had also heard that it seemed that only the statue of the ancestor provided by Lin Yi was effective, and he was still hesitant to go to Lin Yi to see if he could buy a statue of the ancestor, but he didn't want to drive a hitchhike to Lin Yi in order to subsidize some gas money?
Fate? Heaven will not kill me!
"Where am I a big boss...... Wang Weidong laughed dryly and said, "The business of the food street has plummeted, and all the customers have gone to your side, and I am about to drink the northwest wind......
"Oh, blame me?" Lin Yi said disdainfully.
If you are allowed to open a food street and make a big deal to steal the business of our alley, we are not allowed to make a good meal and snatch the customers back?
"No, where can I blame you, hehe......" Wang Weidong said with a dry smile, "What, I heard that Boss Lin's cut noodles are very delicious, and customers like them very much?
Wang Weidong's abacus is very shrewd, if he directly asks Lin Yi for the statue of the ancestor, he will definitely not give it to himself, and he may not sell it if he spends money to buy it - the traffic around is so large, so that the business of your food street is good, and there will be no one in the alley?
Therefore, Wang Weidong pondered, first pull Lin Yi to the food street to open a branch, and then take care of him more, reduce his commission amount or something, the relationship is closer, and then buy the ancestor statue from him, wouldn't it be easy......?
"Open a branch?" Lin Yiba smacked his lips and said, "I don't mind opening a branch in the food street, but ...... I don't have any money!"
"Haha, money is not a thing!" Wang Weidong said with a smile, "If you can call my car, it can be regarded as a fate between the two of us." Well, as long as you come to the food court, the entrance fee is free, how about it?"
"Still no!" Lin Yi shook his head and said, "I don't like to do business with enemies. ”
"Uh......" Wang Weidong looked embarrassed, this guy regards himself as an enemy? Didn't we just start opening the business, and held a big entertainment activity and robbed you of the business in the alley? That is also a normal business competition, how can you become an enemy?
"Hehe, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Cui Yuchao, and Li Lao Er......" Lin Yi said with a smile, "That's it, as long as you blow the two of them away from the food street, I will go to your side to open a branch, and I also guarantee that all the shops in your food street will have a prosperous business, how about it?"
Needless to say, Cui Yuchao's grievances, Li Lao Er is the original landlord of Lin Yi's old store, that guy knew that the food street was about to open, and transferred the store to Lin Yi at a high price, but Lin Yi was miserable, this goods definitely belong to the enemy. For the enemy, Lin Yike is not so generous......
