The homeland is hard to leave, the family has lived here for too long, the familiar roads, the familiar language, the familiar smell of hot pot, and even the sultry summer heat is a little unique.

Liu Ping and Wang Liol were very reluctant to cover the sofa and bed at home with dust covers, and they had to wait until the Spring Festival to come back.

"Lao Wang, look at the water, electricity, and toilet windows are closed." Liu Ping stood at the door with a small suitcase in tow, her eyes full of reluctance.

Wang Hao stretched out his hand helplessly: "Mom, don't look at it, let's lock the door and leave, I've seen it several times." ”

Wang Liol pulled the door over with a bang, and he said, "Let's go, so as not to delay the plane due to traffic jams on the road." It's not that you won't come back, just go out for a long-term trip, don't make it the same as in the TV series. ”

Liu Ping's heart was very complicated, according to her original character, she wanted to refute it, but now all kinds of feelings came to her heart, and she turned around and left after sighing.

At this time, in the green shade of the community, middle-aged and elderly people are gathering together to talk about the world and talk about some parents. After they saw Wang Hao's family coming out with a suitcase, they stepped forward to say hello.

"Teacher Liu, you really have a good son, now go to Australia to enjoy happiness, remember to come back to see us."

"If you leave, we will have one less literary backbone. When will you come back? ”

"Your little Wang, he is really a capable person, not only can he make money, but he has also built so many facilities in our community, thanks to him."

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu. In the future, we will play mahjong but there will be one of the three, and you will both leave, and I will never have to lose money to you again. ”

"Xiao Wang. After you go to Australia, you will honor your parents, they are not familiar with life over there, and you want to ignore them, who will help them? ”

These are all old neighbors who have been in the neighborhood for more than ten or twenty years, and their words are full of reluctance, although they may be jealous in their hearts, but they don't show it.

They all told those who were about to go away. This made the scene feel a little more sorrowful.

"We'll be back before the New Year, you wait, don't push back when the time comes." Liu Ping barely recovered. She was talking and laughing with the neighbors.

As for Wang Liol, he pointed out the last chess piece to the old guys, "Old Zhong, you didn't make the right move, you should go on a horse." What are you doing with creeps. I think you're going to lose. ”

", you're leaving, and you're still pointing fingers, who doesn't know your stinky chess basket, it's almost the same to bully foreigners."

Wang Lijun likes to listen to this, he laughed and said: "That's right, my son said let's teach Australians to play mahjong, if you come to Australia to travel, call me." I will treat you well. ”

At this time, Wang Meng and Pete walked over side by side. They opened their mouths and shouted, "Second uncle and second aunt, the car is already at the door, let's go." ”

Wang Hao waved at the neighbors, dragged the box to the door of the community, and the family went to Australia.

"Sister, when are you coming to Australia to play for a few more days, or take your passport and visa, fly with us, and don't need a ticket!"

Wang Meng sighed, "I want to go, but now the hot pot restaurant we opened has a good business, and we can't leave at all." Besides, your nephews and a few of them still have summer interest classes to attend, so I don't know when I can relax a little bit. ”

Pete took Wang Meng's hand and said with a smile: "It's true, Mengtian spends more time in the hot pot restaurant than at home, I'm a little jealous." ”

The changed tone of Yamashiro came out of Pete's mouth, and it was really a strange feeling. Wang Hao took a serious glance at this cowboy who came out of the golden pasture, his previously slightly decadent and old-fashioned face was gone under the nourishment of life, and now he is like a handsome male god with dark blonde hair, a little Brad Pitt feeling, anyway, he is called Pete.

Driving to Jiangbei Airport, Wang Hao looked at his watch, there was still an hour to take off, so he found a VIP waiting hall and chatted with Wang Meng and Pete.

"Sister, aren't you going to take over the uncle's factory? How to run to open a hot pot restaurant, the catering industry is the most tiring. ”

Wang Meng hadn't mentioned these things to him, otherwise Wang Hao would definitely have an impression.

"Women have to have their own careers after all, and I still have three construction banks, so I have to think about them studying or even buying a house in the future. Now the factory business is getting more and more difficult to do, and it just so happened that my dad's friend had an empty storefront, so he rented it to open a hot pot restaurant, and now it is basically renovated and just waiting to open. ”

In this part of Shancheng, there is never a shortage of newly opened hot pot restaurants, and there are countless hot pot restaurants in the streets and alleys, and the people of Shancheng are inseparable from the moisture of hot pot all year round, so the taste is very picky.

It is not uncommon to see a large number of people waiting outside some hot pot restaurants, while the hot pot restaurants on the other side are crowded inside, which requires good taste, fresh ingredients, good environment and excellent reputation to attract customers.

Like the old classmate Dongzi hot pot who was more popular during this time, it relied on a movie "Hot Pot Hero" to become popular, and the rest of the old captains, captains, and old base hot pots are carried out by relying on the theme hot pot mode.

Similarly, Qinma hot pot, Hongya Cave Little Swan hot pot, Xiaoyu hot pot, Zhao Er hot pot, Dezhuang hot pot, mine hot pot, etc., have a wide variety and have their own emphasis.

If you want to fight your way out of the many hot pot restaurants, it is simply impossible to do without a killer feature.

At this time, Liu Ping said approvingly: "That is, your sister is also very busy, and she has not even had time to eat for a long time, so you have time to help your sister and introduce more customers." ”

Wang Hao scratched his head, he knew that he had to take care of his relatives without his mother's explanation, for a billionaire, his cousin's business of opening a hot pot restaurant was naturally a small sesame, although he couldn't look down on the profits in it, but he had to help his cousin.

"So where is your hot pot restaurant located? What is the main feature? Wang Hao activated his brain and began to think.

"The location is still very good. Just on the side of Guanyin Bridge Beicheng Tianjie, the flow of people is very large, and the traffic is convenient. It can be said that it is a prime location, but the rent is a bit expensive, after all, the area is relatively large, with more than 200 square meters. As for the characteristics, it is mainly to work on the bottom of the pot and the dishes, using the old stove hot pot, which tastes very good. ”

Guanyin Bridge can be said to be one of the most prosperous business districts in the mountain city. There are countless hot pot restaurants on the side of Beicheng Tianjie, and you can search for group purchase information of various hot pot restaurants in the vicinity by opening a Meituan software.

Wang Hao nodded while listening, and he said, "Then you have finished decorating." After the rent was paid, did you buy any other facilities and equipment? There is no waiter recruitment training, the most important thing is to spend money to hire a reliable pot master to retain customers with the best seasonings. ”

The beauty of a hot pot restaurant is that you can hire less fire chefs. And leave the biggest storefronts for diners. All you need to do is prepare fresh and delicious dishes in the kitchen.

If no one comes to eat the hot pot, it must be that the hot pot doesn't taste good enough, not the rest of the reasons.

Wang Meng opened her mobile phone with great interest, she flipped out the photos she took, handed them to Wang Hao, and said: "Look, this decoration is not bad, and we have also installed the most powerful air conditioner to ensure that there is enough space between each table." Not too crowded. ”

In these photos, the slightly Chinese-style decoration looks very eye-catching. The dark stone table with Chinese red coexists boldly and delicately, making it spacious, bright and stylish.

Touching his chin, Wang Hao opened his mouth and said to Wang Meng: "Is there any problem with the hot pot restaurant now?" I mean, what can I do to help you, we're all family, there's nothing you can't say. ”

"That's it, Xiaomeng, if you have anything, just say it and let the mouse help you solve it, if he doesn't make a contribution, see if I don't clean him up." Liu Ping said on the side, sure enough, it was her own mother.

Wang Meng hesitated for a moment and said: "Because of rent, decoration and procurement, now we have a bit of a problem with working capital, and we originally planned to borrow it from my father, but the operation of his factory is not good." Pete hasn't made much money over the years, only a few hundred thousand yuan in RMB, and basically all of them have been invested. ”

Although cowboy is a relatively high-paying profession, it can cost more, and foreigners don't like to save, so Pete's real money is not much.

Wang Hao nodded, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem at all. So he patted his chest and said, "How much is it missing?" Is one million enough, if it's not enough, I'll take another million out? ”

Forbes Rich is different, as if a million is a fluffy number, and they don't care about any of that.

Pete knew that his boss was rich, but he never thought of borrowing from Wang Hao, this was not a matter of pride, but a cultural custom, and he was more accustomed to dealing with bank lending institutions.

With her mouth open into an O-shape, Wang Meng didn't expect that she could also experience the feeling of being stunned by money, she said in a daze: "If it doesn't cost a million, 500,000 is more than enough." ”

"It's not about saving money, it's about doing the best you can and improving the quality of everything so that you can really win customers." By the way, now it is also a good choice to invest in shops, and the owner of your hot pot restaurant has no intention of selling the property, I want to buy it directly to save trouble. ”

Wang Hao is like a nouveau riche, he doesn't want to see his cousin's hot pot restaurant suddenly forced by the landlord to move or something when business is booming a year later, which is definitely a big loss of vitality.

Wang Liol, Liu Ping and Pete have completely entered the theater mode, and they don't have much say in this regard, everything is the two sisters and brothers talking.

"The prices of the shops in that area are not cheap, and they are all hens that lay golden eggs, will others sell them to you?" Wang Meng asked worriedly.

"If we don't sell, it's just that our price isn't high enough." Wang Hao said very confidently, "You can ask a little, if he has the idea of selling, the price is negotiable." ”

"Okay, I'll ask in a few days, I've been really busy lately, I've been busy training employees in the morning, I'm busy purchasing in the afternoon, I'm so tired every day that I want to vomit blood, I really want to give up. If it weren't for the fact that so much money had already been spent and there was no turning back, I really didn't want to continue. ”

There is a saying in the hot pot industry that there is money everywhere, but there are holes all around.

The meaning of the previous sentence is very simple, it is very simple for a hot pot restaurant to make money, not only can it charge the cost of the bottom of the pot, wine, and dishes, but even the water, waste cardboard, wine bottles, bottle caps and other things generated after normal business can be exchanged for money.

The meaning of the latter sentence is that if you waste a little bit of oil in all aspects of the kitchen, and make a mistake in the procurement process, it will lead to the phenomenon of "the hot pot restaurant looks very good, but the boss can't make money".

Now Wang Meng is personally engaged in various procurement links in the early days of opening, she has explored to understand the types of raw materials of each dish, the situation of each market, figure out the price, and learn to identify the quality of the product.

Even the yield rate of raw materials should be considered, for example, enoki mushrooms with the same price and weight sometimes have different quality due to different manufacturers, resulting in different servings that can be served on the table.

Sometimes the amount is also an important weapon for the operation of hot pot restaurants, how many slices of fat cow are in a piece, how many quail eggs are in a piece, and what kind of duck intestines or hairy tripe needs to be referenced, and the amount must not be less.

The daily cost of water, electricity and so on is quite high, although a table of hot pot seems to cost hundreds of yuan, but the real income is still unknown.

"Don't think 1 million is too much, do you need to spend money on your daily operations, do you need to spend money on publicity activities? If you have money, don't panic, you can pay it back to me within two years. ”

Wang Meng lowered her head and pondered, she suddenly raised her head and said: "Mouse, otherwise the two of us will open a chain hot pot restaurant, first open this head office, if the business is good and the response is good, then we will open a branch in Shancheng, and then gradually expand to the whole country to create a real hot pot brand." ”

Wang Hao was startled by his sudden ambition, he didn't know that his cousin's body contained such powerful energy, and he dared to think and do so much.

"This can be had! A store is nothing, open a branch in every city in China, and even open it in Australia. I want to eat authentic mountain city hot pot in big cities like Sydney and Melbourne! Wang Hao patted the chair, and his tone couldn't help but raise a little.

Wang Meng, who incarnated as a strong woman, also came to the spirit, "That's it, make the hot pot restaurant bigger and stronger." My whole body started to burn, and I wanted to do it right away. ”

The two of them discussed a little loudly, and there were other people in the VIP waiting hall, and a young man wearing sunglasses said in a weird manner: "One million happy beans are still discussing so vigorously, and they have opened a branch, don't collapse the first hot pot restaurant in Guanyinqiao, that's funny."
