And just like that, a new investment project was delivered directly to the eyes, the acquisition of a sushi restaurant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, many businesses in Japan have a unique phenomenon, that is, although it is very high-grade, very famous, and very expensive, in fact, the scale is really small, and it is often a gateway store that has been passed down from generation to generation. Let's just say this sushi, if you really make a ranking of sushi restaurants in Japan, the top five are all a single restaurant in the country, with only a dozen seats, but each piece of sushi can be bought for tens of thousands of yen, and the amount is limited.

This, of course, is closely related to the spirit of craftsmanship. When you look at the world, when you think of this spirit, the first thing that comes to mind is Japan, and then Germany.

The so-called craftsman spirit, to the macro level, is the concept of doing only one thing in a lifetime, and to achieve the ultimate. Alice vaguely remembers that the Central Bank of Korea made a statistic in 2008 and counted 100-year-old stores in 41 countries around the world: there are currently 5,586 stores in the world that have been in operation for more than 200 years. Among them, there are as many as 3,146 traditional shops in Japan.

In fact, Ishida Yahiko's Hehui sushi restaurant, which opened before and after the First Sino-Japanese War, has a history of 100 years, which may be an exaggeration in the world, but in the small territory of Japan, it is really not a great existence. This is comparable to the national table tennis team members who "won the Olympic championship, but could not win the National Games".

And in fact, for a project like a sushi restaurant, Alice really doesn't have any good development plans, after all, this is just an ordinary restaurant. If it's McDonald's KFC, or even Yoshinoya or Xiabu Xiabu, Alice can come up with some corresponding business policies, but if it's such a thing as sushi......

"Chain problem, easy to say. It is also feasible to use people-friendly sushi to attract commoners rather than dignitaries as customers. ”

It's still in the Crystal Building in Ginza, it's still in the Hehui sushi restaurant on the 19th floor of the building, and it's still in its luxurious private room for VIP guests, Alice analyzes for President Ishida.

"Actually, really, the restaurant industry has an advantage that almost all other industries can't match, Ishida-san, do you know what it is?"

At this time, what makes Alice happiest is the relationship between superiors and subordinates in Japan. Although he is also a big man, he is really just a little girl on the surface, and Ishida is also a successful businessman and company owner, but he is chatting with himself respectfully at this time. Such a scene is too difficult to enjoy in the United States.

"Advantage ......"

In this way, after seeing Ishida ponder for a while, he said respectfully, "Please also give me advice." ”

"It's just what you need. People can skip going to the movies, not changing computers, not going to playgrounds, or even reducing the number of trips, changing to cheaper houses, and buying clothes can also be reduced, but they can't skip meals. ”

"Sushi may be a normal thing in the world, but for the Japanese, it's just your daily food. No matter how poor and miserable the people are, no matter how economically underdeveloped the people are, they will not refuse to go to a cheap and people-friendly sushi restaurant to eat. It can even be said that once the country ushers in a period of economic underdevelopment, affordable and people-friendly restaurants will make a lot of money, because it has attracted the original group of rich people!"

Ishida kept thinking deeply, and nodded sincerely: "Yes, just as my father praised Mr. Sam Walton very much, the strategy of parity and chain has actually allowed Wal-Mart to develop to such a level as it is now!"

"Well...... It won't just rely on these two tactics to succeed. ”

Alice smiled and waved her hand, and then touched her belly again: "By the way, it seems that I killed all the food for two, eh, method, you haven't eaten enough, have you?"

"Eh!!!"

"Well, Ishida-san, let's have a good meal before we continue to discuss investment matters. I'll pay for the sushi for two more. ”

As soon as this meal is eaten, it is a full two hours. During this period, Alice naturally discussed each other's future with Ishida in various ways, and the dishes on the table continued to pass in front of everyone's eyes like a marquee, and almost never stopped.

The method is to eat a long time ago, but no matter how much sushi the waiter serves, Alice can get it all in one bite and two, and she chews it super fast. At the same time, the sushi rolls are all small and convenient to take a bite, and all kinds of fancy swings, including arctic shellfish, are all ingredients that value quality rather than quantity. It turned out to be a good thing, and the lunch feast in the eyes of other Japanese people became the melon seeds when Alice chatted.

"So, I'll buy the whole business, for a total of four million dollars, and take 75 percent of the shares, and the rest will still be yours. ”

When lunch was eaten alive as afternoon tea, Alice finally stopped ordering food, and the first negotiations with President Ishida made initial progress. On a flat A4 piece of paper, Alice writes a note of note.

Ishida sat on the sidelines, his expression visibly excited.

The reason is simple, the right time and place put his store in such a difficult situation that he had to sell his family heirloom from his great-grandfather's time, which is undoubtedly very devastating. But at the same time, when an entire store was sold for four million dollars, such a price that he could fully accept, he could still own a quarter of the shares that were gifted, which was undoubtedly a surprise from heaven!

"You are so merciful, Alice-Sand. ”

Seeing Alice writing neatly and beautifully in both Japanese and English, Ishida said, "After the acquisition of the store, not only did you still give me a share, but you still gave me a full quarter of the share, which is really, this is really ......."

"Well~ win-win cooperation. ”

Alice smiled indifferently, "Don't forget, Ishida-san, I'm not your local Japanese restaurant tycoon. Even if you buy all of your stores, don't you still have to let someone run it? Then you say, who can run it more reassuringly than if you were the founder of the company in the first place?"

After writing this note briefly, she handed it to Ishida for him to sign, and at the same time began to write another copy: "As for the future management policy, I will hand you a plan in a few days, but it is not bad to dictate it to you at this time, what do you think?"

Ishida was slowly writing his autograph, and was stunned when he heard this: "You want to come up with it now?"

"Well~ It's very simple, first of all, the sushi restaurant in your country should have such a type of conveyor sushi, right?"

When Ishida heard this, Meiyu immediately raised: "Ah, that's right, this is indeed a relatively people-friendly way of doing business!

Conveyor belt sushi restaurants are something that almost every Japanese person has heard of, and although its official development is only 30 years old, its origins can be traced back a long time.

Legend has it that during the Edo period in Japan, a method of tasting noodles began to appear: slices of bamboo were used to drain water from a mountain spring into a circular stone trough, and the noodles were placed in the stone trough. This is known as "cold noodles with flowing water", where the noodles are turned in a stone trough and are not easy to pick up accurately with chopsticks, but it is undoubtedly a fun way to eat, and it is one of the prototypes of modern conveyor belt sushi.

If you want to talk about the official appearance of conveyor belt sushi restaurants, it is a sushi restaurant operator at the beginning of this century, Yoshiaki Shiraishi's Genroku Sushi. It was after World War II, when there was a nationwide labor shortage, and Shiraishi's sushi restaurant at the time was also facing a shortage of manpower. But then, when he saw the Asahi Brewery's beer bottle conveyor, he had the idea to apply the concept to sushi restaurants. After five years of development, Shiraishi finally opened the first conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Osaka in 1958, which became famous all over the country!

"It's easy to talk about the problem of conveyor belts, and I know a little bit about the sushi restaurant industry. ”

Thinking directly about her experience when she went to various conveyor belt sushi restaurants in her previous life, Ellie plagiarized unceremoniously: "As many people have discussed, the ideal speed of the sushi conveyor belt is eight centimeters per second, which ensures the safety of the transportation process and takes care of the flow of customers." At this point, let's follow this method. ”

"Eight centimeters per second is ......"

Ishida, however, was somewhat puzzled. A lot of people have discussed that? Although I have never run a belt belt sushi business, I am also a person in the industry, and many people have discussed the problem of eight centimeters? Why don't I have an impression?

"Well, most conveyor belt restaurants have a single conveyor belt, and all the customers are side by side. This method is fine for singles and couples, but if you are a group guest, it is too inconvenient. Therefore, we add tables in appropriate places next to the conveyor belt, and each table can seat up to ...... Six people. This also reduces the length of the conveyor belt while supplying the same number of customers. ”

Is that really the case?

Since he had never run a conveyor belt sushi business after all, Ishida felt a little confused, was the data a little too accurate? But he was also a person in the industry, and he thought about that situation in an instant...... Does that really seem to be the case?

In addition, as Motoroku Sushi did, the conveyor belt flows in a clockwise direction, so that most right-handed customers can hold chopsticks in their right hand and lift the plate on the conveyor belt with their left hand. ”

This Ishida can be sure that the conveyor belt of Genroku Sushi is indeed in this direction.

In the process of speaking, both notes were signed, of course, this is not a contract after all. Looking at the English and Japanese fonts on his copy, Ishida sighed with emotion, then raised his head and asked, "So Alice San, since you bought our Hehui, do you have any plans to change your name?"

Alice blinked, took a sip of juice, "If your old father allows it, then it's called He Lu, and it hasn't changed much, hasn't it?" )
