Chapter 164: Brainstorming

"Laura is pretty." After reading all the cleaned rooms, my mother praised Laura from the bottom of her heart.

"It's right to let Laura pick it, if it's a stone to pick, I don't know what it looks like" After praising Laura, the mother didn't forget to damage her son by the way, well, this is really my own mother.

"But what about the bedding? It looks like new. Before Shi Lei could explain, his mother asked about the disposal of old things, for his mother, who has always been thrifty, it is definitely impossible to waste these things.

"Anyway, we can't use these things, why don't we donate them, donate them to the poor who are in need, don't waste things, and do good deeds, how about it?" Shi Lei mentioned yƬ next to him.

"Well, I think I'll donate to others." Dad came to a conclusion about this matter in one sentence.

After dealing with these trivial matters, my parents will officially move into this new house. On the first day of your stay, you have to fire on this side.

My mother cooked, Shi Lei was responsible for helping, and soon made a simple meal, Shi Lei also took out a bottle of red wine that had been placed in the wine cellar of the ranch, and poured a shallow glass for everyone.

After eating, Shi Lei remembered that there was still an important thing that he hadn't picked up yet. Hurriedly ran to the black dragon, took out the inscription from the trunk that had been prepared by the old man Huang, and ran to his father like a treasure.

"Oh, Dad, this is a gift for your warm pot (to celebrate moving to a new home)." Shi Lei proudly handed over the words. It was placed on the table in front of my father, and after the framing was completed, the volume and weight of the text were enough. It's obviously not appropriate for Dad to hold it and appreciate it carefully, but it looks convenient to put it on the table.

"Well, this painting is good, swaying vertically and horizontally, flowing with clouds and water, and it has both square and round, and the power penetrates the back of the paper. The person who writes is a master, and it is rare to have a deep understanding of this sentence. It's like a group of everyone's demeanor. Good. ā€

Dad was obviously very satisfied with the painting. Shi Lei looked at his father's watch and knew that he was definitely giving the right gift.

"Huh? I seem to have seen this word somewhere, although it is not this sentence, but the word is clearly from the same person. Where did it come from? Dad recalled carefully with some confusion.

"Dad, don't think about it, this painting is also written by Old Man Huang, it is estimated that you have seen his words at Old Man Huang's house, so I feel familiar."

Shi Lei simply revealed the answer, so that the father next to him, who was still thinking about it seriously, glared at him dissatisfiedly, and he didn't know whether he thought that Shi Lei didn't reveal the answer earlier, or that Shi Lei disturbed his fun of carefully reminiscing.

Wait until Shi Yi finishes appreciating the words. Shi Lei helped his father to hang this painting in the study of his new home, and hung it directly opposite the desk. Every day when I sit at my desk, I can see this painting as soon as I look up.

Dad also deliberately sat down at the desk and tried it, looking up and looking up, it felt good, but Dad still counted a few words from Shi Lei, thinking that he wouldn't let Mr. Huang write his favorite "Tranquility Zhiyuan"? Why did you write Shi Lei's favorite sentence? This sentence "too many words are poor, it is better to keep the middle" is not quite in line with my father's personality.

Except for this little episode. On the day I moved into my new home, my parents were always in a state of excitement. The sense of novelty and satisfaction is quite sufficient, so the mood is inevitably a little excited. The content of the conversation throughout the day is basically inseparable from all aspects of the new home.

"Oh, by the way, I'm happy to patronize and move to a new house, how are you looking for a private restaurant?" Mom finally remembered her future career, but she hasn't started yet, so she has to be a little tighter.

"I've already passed the request to various real estate agencies, and now a few of them feel that the qualified housing information has been fed back to me, and when you have time, we can start to look at them one by one." Shi Lei is also more concerned about this matter, and if his parents have something to do, they are in a better mood.

In addition, Laura's request has been passed on. The information is in my mailbox, this needs to be Laura you take a look at first, preliminary screening, see if there is one that meets your ideas, let's take a look. I know you have your own ideas about the external environment, but this is not easy for the intermediary to understand, so you have to grasp it yourself. ā€

Shi Lei turned his head and said to Laura again, indicating that he didn't leave Laura behind.

"Okay, I'll take a closer look at the information when I get back." Laura agreed sweetly, obviously very satisfied with Shi Lei's intentions.

"Well, in that case, you can stay and don't leave tonight, make this new house more popular, and let's go and see the few listings you said tomorrow. I have to let Laura palm my eyes, and I also think that the external environment is also very important. Mom answered.

Now that the itinerary has been decided, Shi Lei and Laura are not hypocritical, and go directly to the bedroom that Laura arranges according to Shi Lei's preferences and sleeps.

Early the next morning, Shi Lei called several real estate agents to make an appointment, and then took his parents and Laura to set off to see the listing.

Considering that in order to facilitate the parents to travel between home and private restaurants, one of the most important selection conditions for real estate agents is to be relatively close to the location of their parents' new home. The few properties selected this time are all within half an hour's drive of the surrounding area.

Shi Lei took his parents around several places. It is not only necessary to understand the interior decoration and structure of the house, but also to understand whether the surrounding environment of the house is beautiful, and this is also a very important factor when the time comes.

Then, it is necessary to understand the environment of the surrounding neighborhood, the target customer group of my mother's private restaurant should be a rich man like Lincoln, and the price will be relatively high, so as to live up to the few tables of meals that my mother carefully prepares every day, so it is also very important whether the block is suitable, such as opening in a notorious area like Downtown, which is obviously not suitable.

This day is basically spent in these places. My parents were also very cautious about the location of this location, not only did the two of them carefully look at each place inside and out, and kept exchanging opinions. From time to time, I also asked Laura's opinion and asked about the security situation around Laura.

And Shi Lei's opinion was directly ignored, he was more like a full-time driver and part-time bodyguard, every time he went to a place, he only needed to stop the car and stand beside him, completely like a bodyguard.

Seeing the attitude of his parents, Shi Lei also consciously played this role. Be good at finding different pleasures from various things, Shi Lei will look around decently. Make yourself like a professional bodyguard.

At noon, Shi Lei did not treat his stomach badly, and after asking Laura's opinion, he chose a nearby one with a good environment. The restaurant that tastes good can solve your stomach problems while also making it easier for parents to observe how people get it.

They are enthusiastic about this now, and they have different feelings when they sit down to eat this meal, and they are also paying attention to how other people's menus are designed.

What kind of tableware is used, how the store is arranged, and even the service level of the waiter is noted. I also took out my mobile phone and recorded the presentation of all the dishes, so that I could learn from it in the future.

Follow the results of a brainstorm together with a family including Laura. The so-called private cuisine, if you want to succeed, you must do a few points, and the most important thing must be the word private.

On the one hand, the environment must be private, and it is best to have a homely feeling. On the one hand, the dishes should be private and not popular. Be exclusive and not a big roadside thing, if the menu can be constantly updated. It's even better if you keep pushing the boundaries of what you're innovating.

The positioning of another private dish should be accurate, since it is a private room, it is definitely impossible to set a lot of tables, and it is impossible to win by quantity, and in the case of low customer flow, of course, it can only raise the consumption grade, so the target group is clear from the beginning, it must be a guy like Lincoln, and winning by quality is the king.

It would be better if you could add the maintenance of feelings in this process, and many chefs in Europe and the United States have also done a good job in this regard, especially those chefs who are the bosses themselves, many of them have the habit of coming out to chat with customers, and many private restaurant owners in China also have this good habit.

Because of the particularity of private cuisine, old customers are a large group to maintain their business, and it is also an important way for private restaurants to expand their popularity by word of mouth, so it is also important to maintain a good relationship with customers.

This is my mother's shortcoming, mainly because of the language barrier, and my mother was not particularly good at communication, only talking and laughing with acquaintances, and when there were many people, she was more nervous.

In order to deal with this problem, the final result of everyone's discussion was to find a store manager with strong communication skills, and before finding the right person, it was really impossible to let Laura make a cameo.

Laura, a beautiful big beauty, originally has a strong affinity, plus she is proficient in 5 Chinese, she comes from an upper-class family, and there will be a common language between the target customer group, so it should be very appropriate for her to be in charge.

It just so happens that this also provides an opportunity for Laura to take care of the studio by herself, to accumulate some experience first, her future target customers are basically this group of people, not only to know more about them, but also to increase the future customer base, her future so should be very suitable for her.

In this regard, Laura is also more happy, the finished product of the studio will take some time to complete, especially the design of several new boutique men's and women's clothing, as the main feature of the new studio, must be carefully crafted, and personnel and other factors also restrict the pace of the establishment of the studio.

Laura took the opportunity to participate in the whole process and learn how to choose a person and choose a site and so on.

After looking at all the alternative listings, a day has passed, Shi Lei and the family once again returned to his parents' new house, it seems that he definitely doesn't have to go back tonight, and he has to accompany his parents to discuss the results.
