Chapter 6 The Biography of Cao Yang VI

Zhao Teng smiled, and said in his heart that although this kid has a rich family, he is still inexperienced after all, so he patiently explained: "Although Juancheng County is not as good as the big city, it is adjacent to Youzhou, and there are many businessmen, and operating a restaurant inn is naturally considered to be a lot of income. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut since half a year ago the county opened another restaurant called Hongfu Restaurant, our business has been going down! ”

Cao Yang said disapprerovitously: "It is common to have competition in business, and fair competition is understandable, but the shopkeeper's hotel has been open for a long time, and there must be many old customers, why does Hongfu Restaurant have such a big impact on this place when it first opened?" ”

Zhao Teng nodded and said: "It can be regarded as fair competition, this time it all originates from a special dish of Hongfu Restaurant, called Nian Nian Feng Taro, taro is the taro of taro, but it is the same sound as the wealthy Yu, although the flavor of his other dishes is very general, but this dish does taste very good, plus the name is auspicious, many businessmen are admiring it, so the business of our restaurant is getting bleak day by day!" ”

Cao Yang asked, "Wouldn't other cooks make this dish?" ”

Zhao Teng smiled bitterly: "It's really been said by Gongzi, this dish is original to Hongfulou, and the ingredients are also extremely mysterious, I have also invited a few famous chefs to try it a few times, but the taste is far from the same!" Later, I sent a clever guy to Hongfu Building to steal school, but I was found and broke my legs, and now they are well guarded, and we are even more helpless! ”

Although Cao Yang knows how to taste food, he never cooks, and every time he eats at home, he has a special chef to do it, so he doesn't know anything about cooking at all, but he has a lot of insight into business matters.

He thought for a moment, and then suggested, "If they don't have taro and can't make this dish, will the shopkeeper's business be better?" ”

Zhao Teng smiled bitterly: "If there is no such dish, we will naturally be better in terms of other dishes... It's just that it is not easy to let Hongfu Restaurant cut off the supply of taro, although taro is not a staple food, and the farmers who plant it do not account for the majority, but in the entire territory of Yanzhou, there are not 500 households that can produce taro, but there must be 300 households, and it is about to be the season of taro production, how can Hongfulou have no taro available? Could it be that we have to buy all these taro? ”

Cao Yang took a sip of the tea on the table and said proudly: "That's right, but this matter can only be done by people close to you, and you must not let idle people know, otherwise it won't work!" ”

Zhao Teng's face was full of embarrassment, and he said: "Although Childe's approach is feasible, is it too risky?" If there were a large amount of taro stored in Na Hung Fu Lou on weekdays, or if there were other channels for purchasing, wouldn't the taro we bought rot in our hands? I'm afraid that in a few months, we will have to close our doors! ”

Cao Yang said with a smile: "The shopkeeper's work is too conservative, the so-called greater the risk, the greater the return, if you rest on your laurels, according to the current situation, hehe, I said something ugly, closing the door is only a matter of time or time." If you don't try at this time, it will be a 10% failure, but if you try, maybe there will be a turnaround? ”

Seeing that Zhao Teng was still hesitating, he further persuaded: "What's more, now is a good time to thwart Hongfulou, since the season of taro production is approaching, then Hongfulou will definitely not have too much inventory, even if there are some, with his passenger flow, it will not be able to support for long, it is a matter of time before the stock is out of stock, we just need to sweep away the taro first, and when they are out of stock and ready to replenish, they will be surprised!" Haha, besides, ingredients are most afraid of long-distance transportation, not to mention easy to deteriorate, and the loss is serious, so how can he be reluctant to go far? As long as the supply of goods is cut off, when they look for the source of goods everywhere and then travel back for a long distance, it will take three or five months, and we will let them close their doors in these three or five months! As for how to close the door, let me sell it first, hehe! ”

Zhao Teng saw that Cao Yang was full of confidence, and couldn't help but feel a little tempted, there is really no better way at the moment, it is better to fight to the death, he nodded solemnly, and said: "Then it depends on the son's plan, but this matter is very important, we have to calculate carefully every step of the way, otherwise there will be a risk of bankruptcy in an instant!" ”

Cao Yang said: "This is natural, of course the money has to be carefully calculated..."He pondered for a while and asked: "I don't know what the financial resources of the owner of Hongfu Mansion are?" What are your hobbies? ”

Zhao Teng said without thinking: "The boss of Hongfulou is named Han Lang, he is a foreigner, his financial resources were originally between him and the next one, but in the past half a year, the business has been prosperous, I am afraid that he has far surpassed himself, as for his hobbies, I heard that he likes to collect some rare stones, I don't know if these can be helpful to the son?" ”

Cao Yang stood up excitedly, paced back and forth in the room quickly, clapped his hands and said, "That's very good!" If the shopkeeper has the ability to sell that piece of imperial green jade at a good price at Han Lang, then our plan will be foolproof! ”

Zhao Teng slapped the table case heavily, and said loudly: "Then let's give it a try, I will personally arrange a fresh face to sell the jade to Han Lang, and I guarantee that there will be a good price, don't worry, son!" ”

Cao Yang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's not someone else, it's you who is the shopkeeper who will go in person, to make Han Lang feel that you can't make ends meet, and you can only barely make ends meet by pawning some valuable items!" ”

"What?" Zhao Teng looked surprised, "My peer is an enemy, he wishes that I would close the door as soon as possible, how could he buy this jadeite, for him, wouldn't that be equivalent to helping the enemy?" ”

Cao Yang sighed helplessly, and asked rhetorically: "Shopkeeper, let me ask you a question, if someone gives you a piece of priceless jadeite, if you don't want it?" ”

"Of course I will, but where can there be such a good thing?"

"You sold this piece of jade to Han Lang, to him, it was like giving him away!" Seeing that Zhao Teng was still confused, he had to continue to explain:

"His restaurant has robbed you of all the customers, which is equivalent to making the money you should make, and now you are in the cold, no matter what price the jade is sold, in the end you will only use this money for daily use, so you can't make ends meet, and it is a matter of time before you close. And for Han Lang, he not only got the jadeite, but also earned back the money from the sale of jadeite from the customer who should have been you, and finally defeated the competitors. ”

After listening to this, Zhao Teng pondered for a while, and then suddenly said: "The son really sees things clearly, and he has been doing business for 20 years in vain, he is really ashamed!" ”

In fact, if you say that people are sophisticated, buy low and sell high Zhao Teng is naturally a master in this, but Cao Yang has followed his father since he was a child, and what he has learned is how to seize the market, how to suppress opponents, and how to improve capital utilization.
