As early as last year, Cai Hongming asked Ruan Tianxuan to help find a store in the prosperous area of Suzhou, and prepared to open a branch of Shengjing barbecue noodle shop in Xidu.

It's just that there has been no news.

It wasn't until last year that the global economic crisis broke out, and there was a wave of closures in China, and many stores were closed one after another for various reasons. It's a pity that he was still filming at that time, and he never had time to watch it. So after dealing with the affairs in the capital, he took a plane to Suzhou.

After getting off the plane, he didn't rush to contact Ruan Tianxuan, first found a hotel to stay, and then called him after washing away the dust along the way.

After Ruan Tianxuan received Cai Hongming's call, he hurried over, and said to him as soon as they met: "Why don't you call me before you come, I'll pick you up at the airport." ”

Cai Hongming made him very unhappy doing this, and the two of them could be regarded as friends after being together for so long. When he went to his side, he was so hospitable, but when he came to his side, he did so, which seemed too raw, so that he, the master, didn't know what to say. It's just that he doesn't know that Cai Hongming has always had this temper, and he generally doesn't like to trouble people when he has nothing to do.

"It's not a child, so you don't have to be so troublesome." Cai Hongming said with a smile, "By the way, where is the store you are talking about?" Shall we go and see it now, or"

"Don't be in such a hurry, it's almost noon, let's eat first."

So, Ruan Tianxuan drove Cai Hongming to dinner.

The car drove for a while and came to a stop by a lake. There is an antique restaurant by the lake, the name of the building is "Yellow Crane", which makes people look a little deafening, because the name is too loud. Walking inside, Cai Hongming saw two beautiful Jiangnan women playing the pipa in the corner of the building, singing Jiangnan minor tunes in Wu Nong slang, the voice was soft, soft and crisp. Like a jade bead on the plate, it makes people feel like they have eaten peaches, and their hearts are sweet.

Before eating, Cai Hongming felt that he had fallen in love with this Yellow Crane Tower.

They chose a window seat and sat down near the water.

Outside the window is the lake, and lotus flowers are planted in the lake. Not far from the window, there is a clear lotus leaf. It is dotted with pink, white, and yellowish lotus flowers. Some of the lotus flowers in full bloom are so close to the windowsill that you can catch them with a little stretch of your hand. Ruan Tianxuan was not polite, leaned out and picked a green lotus pod from the lake, peeled off the lotus seeds, put them in his mouth and crunched them.

People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang like to eat green lotus seeds, saying that they are like peanuts, crunchy and sweet.

Ruan Tianxuan didn't eat alone, broke half of the lotus pod and gave it to Cai Hongming, and then asked the waiter to order.

Cai Hongming is not familiar with this side and doesn't know what to eat. Ruan Tianxuan took the initiative and ordered some Suzhou-style dishes. Suzhou cuisine is heavy and sweet. The dishes made seem to be dead without sugar, but the taste is very similar to that of southern Fujian, and Cai Hongming feels good after eating it. After eating, Ruan Tianxuan asked people to serve another pot of tea, and while the two of them tasted it, they enjoyed the cool breeze blowing by the lake, and there was a whisper of Wu Nong in their ears, and they listened quietly with their eyes closed. It seems that the body also carries the breath of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

"This is a nice place, isn't it?" Ruan Tianxuan said to Cai Hongming.

Cai Hongming nodded, this place is indeed very good. The food is good, the people are good, and the environment is good.

"Originally, there was also a house to sell here, but unfortunately you were not available at that time, and the owner of the house was in a hurry to sell the house for money, so it was gone."

"That's a pity." This place is really good. And it's also popular.

"There's nothing to be sorry for, there are still a few houses where I feel good, wait and see, it's not necessarily worse than here. Speaking of which, you have to thank the recent economic downturn. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in a hurry to sell their houses to fill the gap in their business, but it would have made you catch up with the good times. Almost, let's go! ”

Ruan Tianxuan went to check out, and then took Cai Hongming to see the house.

The most prosperous areas in Suzhou are the area around Guanqian Street and the vicinity of Stone Road, which are centered on Xuanmiaoguan, and if you can open a shop in these two streets, as long as you do it well, it is undoubtedly the rhythm of putting countless banknotes in your pocket.

Ruan Tianxuan found a parking lot to park the car, and then led Cai Hongming to a large clothing store on the side of the road on Guanqian Street.

The owner of this shop was in the business of opening a factory, and when he saw that the stock market was good, he invested a lot of money in it. It's a pity that bad luck is not good, people make a lot of money in the stock market, he enters the stock market and falls to the limit, this time all the money is trapped, the business turnover can not be turned, bad luck and encounter the economic crisis, plus the bank tightens loans. I had no choice but to sell the store to make money to save the company. Otherwise, he can make a lot of money by guarding the store for a month, and he will sell it if he is stupid.

Cai Hongming took a look, the store was divided into two floors, about 500 square meters, and the boss asked for a friendship price of 65 million.

He still has more than 100 million on him now, and after buying this store, he still has to make movies and buy helicopters, and the money is gone all of a sudden.

He used to think that he had a lot of money in his hands, but now he seems to be a poor man.

However, Cai Hongming did not plan to buy the house immediately, but asked Ruan Tianxuan to take him to other places to see. Shop around, don't look around to know which place is better.

Next, I looked at two more storefronts, one near the Humble Administrator's Garden, and the other on the stone road in the same prosperous area, the prices are similar to the previous ones, but they are worth the money. In the end, Nguyen Tien Xuan took him to a place where Wan Wan. Reach the square, and eat over there by the way.

This side of the real estate is newly opened, the popularity is not as strong as the previous three, but the victory is convenient transportation, good air, and the price is cheap, about 500 square meters of stores can be started as long as 10 million.

Cai Hongming thought about it, his barbecue restaurant uses yaks, ostriches, vermicelli, rice noodles and other things raised on his own farm, which taste excellent and is not in a prosperous area, as long as it is promoted, I believe it will be welcomed by many people. In addition, there are a lot of people driving nowadays, and it is only a matter of seconds to get here, so there is no need to consider the lack of popularity.

Besides, it can't be a place that doesn't thrive all the time, it's just a matter of time.

After thinking about it, Cai Hongming immediately made a decision to buy two sets of stores.

The reason why he bought two sets was that he wanted to open up the two places, expand the storefront, and open a small shop next to it to sell his own agricultural products, such as rice, vermicelli, yak meat, ostrich meat and other things, and maybe in the future, he will develop some handicrafts made of yak hair, ostrich feathers, yak bones, ostrich bones and other things to sell.

After buying the storefront, he hired a well-known local design company to design the decoration.

He plans to design the store with a rugged and heroic desert style with a bit of gentleness, and the main body has a similar taste to Saudi Arabia and Egypt, because they are also desert countries.

When the time comes, he will ask a master to present the vast desert with 3D pictures of the surrounding walls, so that people feel as if they are in the vast desert as soon as they come in. The furnishings inside should also have a strong desert style, and when the store opens, he will ask people to go to the western Xinjiang to buy some exotic style carpets to hang over. I believe that as soon as people come in, they will be refreshed and impressed.

It takes a lot of time to decorate the store, so Cai Hongming asked the design company to design the drawings, and after looking at it and being satisfied, he let them start the decoration.

He still has something to do, and it is impossible to be here every day, so he asked Ruan Tianxuan to come and take a look when he is free, and then he took a plane to Nanjing.

Cai Hongming wants to make Xidu Shengjing barbecue noodle shop a chain enterprise. He plans to take the richest area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang as a point, and then radiate to the surrounding major cities and open stores all over the country.

In fact, when he was at home, he had already checked the stores in Nanjing on the Internet and looked for a few through intermediaries. This time I came mainly to see if those stores were good, if I could, I planned to buy them, and then see how the store in Suzhou would be renovated. If you can, the store will be renovated like that in the future.

Suzhou is very close to Nanjing, and it was still early to arrive, so he called the agent he had communicated with.

After a while, a woman in her thirties walked over.

The two chatted casually for a few words and went to see the storefront.

Nanjing has three largest business districts, one is Xinjiekou, one is Hunan Road, one is Confucius Temple, and there is also one on Xuanwu Road, but the most prosperous is Xinjiekou. And the first store Cai Hongming wants to see is Wanda Plaza in Xinjiekou. (To be continued......)
