Chapter 173: Inspiration from a Bowl of Rice Noodles
The Yunnan rice noodle restaurant that Zhang Meng said is just a small shop with only two stores near the south gate of a middle school, and the environment in the store is also very average, but there are many customers.
They waited for more than ten minutes before the rice noodles were served, and the bowl of rice noodles made in the store actually looked very simple to Chen Qingdong, with only rice noodles, shredded tofu skin, bean sprouts, some marinated chicken, and two quail eggs.
However, this rice noodle that looks simple in Chen Qingdong looks very rich in Zhang Meng, in fact, in Liulin County around 2000, there are really not many high-grade fast food restaurants and snack bars.
"Xiaodong, give it a taste, it tastes good. Because there were two very young girls sitting next to her, who looked like freshmen or sophomores at most, Zhang Meng did not call Chen Qingdong "husband", but called his name.
"Okay, come on. Chen Qingdong said.
After tasting a bite of rice noodles and drinking a sip of soup with a spoon, Chen Qingdong felt that the taste was not bad, but it was not particularly delicious, compared with the rice noodles that opened branches everywhere in Huaihai Province, the taste was still a little worse, of course, the price was also a lot worse.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing had a flash of inspiration!
Yes, although the process of urbanization and economic development, especially the development of some large shopping malls and supermarkets, has formed a "siphon effect" on the consumption, entertainment, shopping, catering, etc. of the people, the fast food industry relying on these large shopping malls and supermarkets will also be popular, such as KFC, McDonald's, Ajisen Ramen, Korean bibimbap, etc., as well as China's Yonghe soybean milk, steamed kung fu, and various pie shops-based fast food restaurants are developing extremely rapidly!
If you register a catering brand now and launch it to the market after good packaging and positioning, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money relying on these large shopping malls and shopping malls!
However, thinking of this, Chen Qingdong suddenly laughed dumbly, compared with those fast food restaurants, those large shopping malls and supermarkets, shopping malls bring greater profits, and these are cash flow enterprises, Chen Qingdong through these days to read the knowledge of economic management to understand that modern enterprises are cash is king, only with money in hand, it is equivalent to having a treasure box, in order to make the enterprise bigger and stronger, many enterprises develop to a certain scale after seeking to go public to make money is this reason.
If you have the opportunity to get involved in the department store industry, why bother to go far and do catering?
Seeing Chen Qingdong eating rice noodles and suddenly laughing, Zhang Meng asked angrily, "Xiaodong, what are you laughing at?"
Of course, Chen Qingdong wouldn't tell Zhang Meng that he had just gone around the world, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of a joke." ”
"What joke?"
Chen Qingdong thought about it, and there was really a joke about rice noodles in his mind, which he still heard from his brother in the dormitory when he was in college, and immediately sorted it out in his mind, and said: "It is said that a man took his girlfriend to eat rice noodles on the bridge, and found that there are two kinds of rice noodles in the store, one is ordinary, five yuan a bowl, and the other is a bridge rice noodles, ten yuan a bowl, this girl asked her boyfriend, why is the bridge rice noodles five yuan more expensive than ordinary rice noodles? This boy thought about it and said, ......"
"That five yuan is a bridge toll!" Zhang Meng said for Chen Qingdong.
Chen Qingdong smiled: "It turns out that you have also heard this joke. ”
"It's all old jokes, who hasn't heard it. Zhang Meng sneered, "You still treat it as a new joke, and you are still telling it with such interest." ”
The conversation between the two of them was also overheard by the two girls next to them, and the two girls also laughed quietly.
Chen Qingdong was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Eat rice noodles, eat rice noodles." ”
However, while Chen Qingdong was eating rice noodles, he still couldn't help but think about the question just now, if he has the opportunity to enter shopping malls, supermarkets and other industries in the future, or enter the restaurant chain industry, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but feel a little moved. Compared with the thorny steps of the official road, it may be much easier and more chic to take the business road.
However, after this thought flashed, Chen Qingdong quickly made up his mind, and he still concentrated on his career in the future, because he clearly knew that money was only enough, what was the use of asking for so much? Moreover, even no amount of money could fill the hungry hole in his heart, only power and high positions could fill it!
For the sake of power and high position, he has established the belief that he will do anything, how can a small amount of money shake his belief?
This money-making business opportunity, or look for the right opportunity and give it to the eldest brother!
Just when Chen Qingdong was thinking wildly, a person hurriedly ran in, almost knocking over the two tables, causing a burst of screams, Chen Qingdong and Zhang Meng also raised their heads at the same time, Zhang Meng stood up in surprise and shouted, "Brother!"
Chen Qingdong had already recognized this twenty-six or seventeen-year-old man with messy rich hair, dyed yellow, wearing a denim suit, and dressed in a flowing style was Zhang Meng's brother Zhang Yu.
Speaking of which, although Zhang Meng's parents have strict tutoring, the effect is really not very good.
Their eldest son, Zhang Yu, has been a mischievous master since he was a child, he is not good at school, he likes to do some chores, fishing, catching birds and rabbits, and he is a master of everything! When he was in junior high school, he didn't know where he got a broken guitar, and he played blindly all day long, but he didn't have any music cells, and no one taught him, but he was very devoted, and often took the guitar to the school playground and classroom to play for his classmates.
In addition to the lack of talent, the romantic feelings are the same as the famous emperor in history who is the same as his name - Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
At that time, although Zhang Yu was not good at studying, his character was not bad, he was just idle, Zhang Yu's father was choked by Zhang Yu's anger, but Zhang Yu was still a little proud that his son was a talented talent!
It's just that after going to high school, Zhang Yu has fallen deeper and deeper, and he has also learned from those big brothers on campus, gathering a few scumbags who are not good at school and a few idle people in society, and forming a small gang to bully and bully all day long!
Moreover, since the beginning of high school, he began to pursue a female classmate in the class, and he looked absolutely infatuated, and even tattooed the girl's name on his arm, and also publicly threatened in the class that other boys were not allowed to talk to that girl, if he found out that the boy dared to talk to the girl, he knew that he would beat him once! However, that girl didn't like Zhang Yu at all, and even hated him very much, afraid of him, Zhang Yu was completely unrequited!
Later, Zhang Yu really broke the bridge of his nose because of this incident, and this squad leader is also a figure with a lot of background, his father is a real leader of a county-level unit, and this incident also made a big fuss, Zhang Yu was expelled from school, and the girl also chose to transfer because of this incident.
Since then, Zhang Yu has completely bid farewell to school, wandered around in society, and became an idle person, and still has no formal job.
In fact, Zhang Yu is four or five years older than Chen Qindong, but because he repeats too many grades, when he was in middle school, he was only one level higher than Chen Qingdong, so Chen Qingdong is also very clear about these anecdotes about Zhang Yu. And because Chen Qingdong had a very close relationship with the school boss Cheng Xiaodong at that time, and Zhang Yu was also very familiar with Cheng Xiaodong, the two of them had known each other for a long time.
Seeing Zhang Yu rushing in in such a hurry, Chen Qingdong immediately had a bad premonition.
Zhang Yu also saw Zhang Meng at this time, and immediately ran over with an anxious face, and said to Zhang Meng: "Mengmeng, why are you here! I found you!"
Then Zhang Yu also saw Chen Qingdong, different from their parents, Zhang Yu did not object to Chen Qingdong and his sister being together, and said: "Qingdong, you are also here!"
"Brother Yu, what's wrong?" asked Chen Qingdong.
Zhang Yu touched the sweat on his face, and said anxiously: "Hey! Don't say it! It's really unlucky today! Qingdong, Mengmeng, do you have any money, lend it to me first!"
"Brother, you're gambling again!" Zhang Meng said angrily.
"No...... Zhang Yu said impatiently, "Do you have any money, take it out quickly!"
Zhang Meng didn't pay him money, but taught him a lesson: "How many times have your parents told you that you won't let you gamble, why don't you listen?"
"Hey, I'm too lazy to tell you!" Zhang Yu looked anxious, and asked Chen Qingdong again, "Qingdong, do you have any money, give it to me first!"
Chen Qingdong was a little hesitant, he didn't have much money on him, so he was naturally reluctant to give it to Zhang Yu, a gambler.
Seeing that Chen Qingdong didn't make any moves, Zhang Yu was anxious and said: "Qingdong, don't you want to marry my sister? I'm in charge! If you give me 1,000 yuan, it will be regarded as the bride price for you to marry my sister, and this matter is settled!"
Then he was afraid that Chen Qingdong would not agree, and said: "Don't worry, my parents will do my work there, and make sure they listen to me!"
Chen Qingdong couldn't cry or laugh, Zhang Mengxing's eyes widened angrily, and she scolded: "Brother, what are you talking nonsense!"
Zhang Yu ignored her at all, and said to Chen Qingdong: "Brother, hurry up and give me some money, I'll save my life with the money! Several people outside are looking for me, if they catch me, I'll take it!"
Zhang Meng said worriedly: "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Hey, why do you women talk so much nonsense! Do you have any money? Hurry up and take it out!" Zhang Yu shouted helplessly.
Zhang Meng guessed that Zhang Yu was going to gamble for money, so she said: "Brother, if you don't say what you want to do with the money, don't want to get the money." Qingdong, you are not allowed to give it to him!"
