readx; Just as the two were chatting, Lu Wanying walked out of the kitchen and said loudly: "Gong Xiping, Yunyun, come over for dinner!" ”

"Oh, here we are!" Tang Yunwen responded, and then said to Gong Xiping, "Brother Ping, let's go over for dinner!" ”

Gong Xiping nodded, then stood up with Tang Yunwen and walked to the dining table. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the two helped Lu Wanying bring out all the dishes in the kitchen and put them on the dining table.

Lu Wanying's dinner table is similar to Gongxiping's family, and it is also a long dining table. It's just that the dining table is not very big. To seat 3 people, it is naturally more than enough. Lu Wanying deliberately let Tang Yunwen and Gong Xiping sit on the same side, while she herself sat at the top of the dining table.

Lu Wanying deliberately took out a bottle of white wine that she had treasured for many years, poured herself a glass, and poured another glass for Gong Xiping. Then he hesitated for a moment and poured a little bit for Tang Yunwen.

Lu Wanying raised her wine glass and said with a smile: "Come, I will first welcome Gong Xiping to our house as a guest." I hope you can make your dreams come true and make progress in your studies in the new year! ”

Gong Xiping also raised his wine glass and said, "Thank you." I also wish Aunt Wan a prosperous New Year, and the restaurant's business is getting better and better. Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and it is a festival to welcome the God of Wealth, so I deliberately chose this day to come, just hoping to have an auspicious picture! ”

After the two finished speaking, they tilted their necks at the same time and drank the wine in the glass. Afterwards, Lu Wanying filled the wine glasses of the two of them again.

Gong Xiping couldn't help but praise: "The wine is good, if I guess correctly, it should be produced in Bordeaux." ”

Lu Wanying said in surprise: "Exactly! How do you know? Since you can guess the origin, can you guess the vintage? ”

Gongxi smiled lightly and said, "Aunt Wan, you made fun of me." It's not easy to guess the origin, but if I can guess the vintage, I'm a master taster. ”

When Lu Wanying heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "That's what you said!" Hehe, speaking of which, if it weren't for you, I would really be reluctant to take out this bottle of wine. This bottle of wine is still my personal treasure before Yunyun's father's accident. ”

Gong Xiping was stunned when he heard this, he glanced at Lu Wanying's expression, and then at Tang Yunwen's expression, and found that the two of them no longer showed a sad look on their faces, and couldn't help but feel slightly relaxed in their hearts.

Lu Wanying said with a smile: "Do you think that when you mention my deceased husband, whether it is me or Yunyun, it will inevitably be sad?" Hehe, if it was not long ago, it might be. Because both of us miss Yunyun and her father. Because we all feel that life is really hard with just two of us women. But not anymore. We can now face life and bear the pressure of life. And it's all because of you. ”

Lu Wanying said, raised the wine glass again, and said, "Gong Xiping, if it weren't for you, we don't know what it would be like now." Because of you, the restaurant has improved, our lives have settled, and I can rest assured, and Yunyun doesn't have to worry about me anymore. Yunyun and I, we are very grateful to you, and we are very grateful for all this you have brought us. This one, I dried, as a token of gratitude! ”

After Lu Wanying finished speaking, without waiting for Gong Xiping to speak, he tilted his neck and drank a glass of wine in one gulp.

Tang Yunwen also raised his glass and said, "Brother Ping, what my mother said is what I want to say." Mom and I are so grateful to you, so, toast too! ”

Gong Xiping saw that Tang Yunwen wanted to drink, and hurriedly said: "No, no, your mother just drinks, you don't need it." ”

However, Tang Yunwen stubbornly drank it dry. Fortunately, she didn't have much wine, so it was just a small sip. Even if you drink it dry in one gulp, it's fine. It's just that she usually hardly drinks alcohol, and after this sip, a flush immediately rose on her face.

Gong Xiping looked at Tang Yunwen for a long time and confirmed that she was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he found that Lu Wanying was actually relieved.

Gongxi said flatly: "Actually, you don't have to thank me. As I said, it's reciprocity, and we both have interests. The restaurant's business has gone up, which is also very good for me as an investor. Moreover, I just invested some money and made some suggestions, and the specific implementation is still up to you. It can be said that the restaurant can have today's situation is the result of your hard work, and I only take a small part. ”

Lu Wanying shook her head and said, "Gong Xiping, you don't have to be too modest. I knew that without you, the restaurant would not have been able to go from a dismal operation to a profit in just two or three weeks! I've calculated that just two weeks after you go to Spain, plus a week after you come back, the restaurant's turnover in these three weeks is already on par with the turnover of the whole of last year! The funds we invested in the early stage have basically all been returned, and there is still a surplus. It's a miracle, a miracle that even I can't believe! ”

Gong Xiping glanced at Lu Wanying, and then said, "Let's put it this way, I'm just in charge of planning, and you are in charge of execution." No matter how good the planning is, it will not work without good execution. So, as I said, we're mutually beneficial, each using our strengths. Without you, I'm useless and useless. So, don't be grateful to me, the restaurant is where it is today, because of your efforts. If you really want to talk about the credit, it will be at most five or five, and everyone will have half of it. ”

Lu Wanying smiled and said, "What you said also makes sense. However, I still feel that it is a blessing for us to be able to meet you with Yunyun. ”

"It should be my blessing." Gong Xiping said with a pun.

In fact, the reason why Gong Xiping wanted to help Lu Wanying was also with the mentality of killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, in order to track down some clues of those people who had contact with Tang Wannian, on the other hand, he also wanted to earn an industry for himself, so that after finding his daughter in the future, he could give his daughter a stable life.

After a pause, Gong Xiping continued: "Aunt Wan, do you have any views on the business goals for the coming year? ”

Lu Wanying smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, in fact, I have planned it a long time ago. In the coming year, I intend to take our turnover to a high level. My initial goal is to make an annual profit of about 800,000 yuan. What do you think? ”

Gong Xiping shook his head.

Lu Wanying was stunned for a moment, and then said: "800,000 is too high? That 500,000 should be fine, right? ”

Gong Xiping still shook his head and said, "Aunt Wan, your goal is too low. ”

Lu Wanying couldn't help but gasp. Whether it's 800,000 or 500,000, she has already estimated in the direction of high, but Gong Xiping still feels that her goal is too low, does Gong Xiping have other ideas?

Lu Wanying didn't speak, waiting for Gong Xiping to continue. Sure enough, Gong Xiping continued: "I have two sentences that I want to say to Aunt Wan. First, we have to open two more stores a year in the next two years. Including the head office, there are 5 in total. 5 branches is the limit, and there can't be more, because if there are too many branches, it will cause management difficulties and produce an embarrassing situation of overstretching. In the future, all ingredients, including ingredients, will be distributed by the head office. The ingredients can be complementary between the branches, but the total amount must be controlled by the main store. In this case, the annual profit should reach 5 million or even higher. ”

Although Lu Wanying was a little mentally prepared, she was still taken aback by the number that Gong Xiping said. With an annual profit of 5 million, if you can have such a profit when you open a restaurant, it is simply incredible. In the past, there were indeed several catering companies with good profits under the Tang Group, and the annual profit was only about 5 million. I didn't expect to open a restaurant by myself, and I could actually achieve this number, which is a bit incredible.

"5 million, I didn't even think about it." Lu Wanying said with a wry smile.

Gong Xiping said disapprerovantly: "This is still my conservative estimate." We can't let the branches open too quickly, we have to work hard and step by step. Therefore, the number of branches is limited to two within one year, and the total number of stores cannot exceed 5. When we open a branch, we must ensure quality and food safety. This is fundamental, without these two things, everything else is empty talk. ”

Lu Wanying nodded in agreement and said, "That's not bad at all. ”

"Well, opening a branch is just the first part of all the planning. Let's complete the objectives of the first part first, and then move on to the second part. ”

"And a second part?"

"Absolutely." Gong Xiping glanced at Lu Wanying deeply and said, "Aunt Wan, you won't be satisfied with just opening a restaurant, right?" ”

Lu Wanying was stunned. She could feel his ambition from Gong Xiping's words. He doesn't seem to be satisfied with just doing catering, and seems to have other ideas. It's just that his idea is too far away, and Lu Wanying doesn't dare to imagine it yet.

"The second thing I want to say is, don't have feelings for the tools that make money." Gong Xiping said with a smile.

When Lu Wanying heard this, the second monk was confused. She was stunned for a long time before asking, "What does this mean?" ”

Gongxi smiled lightly and said, "I'll understand later." For example, if you want to let go of the restaurant that you are working so hard to run. ”

Lu Wanying chuckled in her heart. What she expected was true, Gong Xiping was really ambitious. His goal is not just to open a branch of the restaurant, he has a more ambitious goal. This goal Lu Wanying can't think about now, and he doesn't dare to think about it. Because in her mind, this goal is too far away.

After Gong Xiping finished speaking, he calmly took out a cash check from his arms. The amount on the check is 50,000 yuan, and the signature and seal below are all Lu Wanying's. This check is the red envelope that Lu Wanying gave him on Chinese New Year's Eve!

"Gong Xiping, what are you ......" Lu Wanying looked at the check and asked puzzled.

"Aunt Wan, there's one thing, I'm afraid you're mistaken. I'm investing, not lending money to you. Investments do need a return, but definitely not now. The restaurant is just getting started, and you need money to do everything. 50,000 may not be a big number, but it's not a small number either. What's more, for me, I don't lack these 50,000. You don't have to be in such a hurry to show me the results of the restaurant. Hehe, since I accepted your red envelope, then I have already received your heart. Now, I will use the 50,000 yuan as an investment again and inject capital into the restaurant. ”

Gong Xiping said, pushing the check in front of Lu Wanying. Lu Wanying looked at the check and was speechless for a while.

After a long time, she slowly raised her glass and said, "I received your second injection." So, I wish us a higher level in the coming year and strive to open 2 branches within the year! ”

After speaking, Gong Xiping and Lu Wanying drank the wine in the wine glass at the same time.
