Liu Gongzi's career has encountered many setbacks, and he has no previous connections, so he has to start all over again.

His desire to do big things directly has slowly returned to reality after repeated blows.

In the evening, Ji Ran looked at Liu Gongzi standing on the balcony in a daze, knowing that he had not been in a good mood these days, and had been planning for the future.

Ji Ran looked at Liu Gongzi's worried appearance, and felt very sorry for him in his heart, all of this was brought to him by himself, and he dragged him down.

"If you really can't, don't hold on any longer, it's not good for either of us, is it?" Ji Ran walked up to Liu Gongzi and said softly.

"Give me some more time, don't give up so easily, okay?" Liu Gongzi turned around, looked at Ji Ran and said.

"Xiao Ran, give me a little more time, I don't believe that others can do it, why can't I do it?

Give me some confidence, I won't let you down. Liu Zhan swore to Ji Ran and promised.

When Ji Ran saw Liu Gongzi say this, he couldn't say anything, so he had to promise to give him some more time, and only when he experienced enough setbacks and realized that this road would not work, he would turn back.

Liu Gongzi began to go out to look for a job, his advantage is that he understands English, knows how to operate and manage, and is suitable for positions such as translation, sales manager, sales planning, etc., and he also worked as a part-time model when he was abroad.

However, now there are too many people who know English, and there are many talents in sales, and if Liu Gongzi wants to engage in this kind of industry, I am afraid that he will have to start from the bottom.

Liu Gongzi tried to talk about a few companies, but the salary was really pitiful, the highest salary of these companies was only 3,000 yuan, and there was even a company that offered 1,500 yuan, which really surprised Liu Gongzi.

Liu Gongzi really can't understand, why are these black-hearted capitalists so ruthless?

actually squeezed the wages of employees to such a point, and what made him even more speechless was that he knew that the bosses of these companies were black-hearted wolves, but there was no government department to govern them, so that they blatantly exploited the surplus value of employees.

After more than 200 years of practice, Marxist theory has been completely forgotten, but it is the useless capitalist countries that have been criticized by Marxism that seem to protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers more effectively.

Of course, Liu Gongzi has no right to comment on the country's system and governance methods, but these jobs without any guarantee really make Liu Gongzi very disappointed, if he can be a few years younger, maybe he is willing to try, but now, it is impossible.

He plans to open his own chain store and start his own business.

After a few days of investigation, Liu Gongzi planned to open a food chain store in S City, and the result of his investigation was that Yang Guofu Malatang and Zhang Liang Malatang chose to do Malatang because the cost input was small, the risk was relatively small, and the profit was very considerable.

For example, Zhang Liang Malatang, an average of 20 yuan per bowl, the cost is less than 10 yuan, plus the cost of cooking, the cost of leasing the store and various other expenses, it is almost only about 11 or 2 yuan, and the profit margin can reach about 50 percent, that is to say, if you can sell 300,000 yuan a month, then you can almost earn about 150,000 or 60,000 yuan.

Moreover, Zhang Liang Malatang does not have to worry about the problem of ingredients, they are all directly extracted from the franchise store, the ingredients are safe and secure, the supply is large, and there is no need to worry about the problem of running out of stock.

After Liu Gongzi thought about it, he discussed it with Ji Ran.

Ji Ran was very surprised when he heard that Liu Gongzi was going to make Malatang, a dignified second-generation official, who had never eaten Malatang before, but now he was going to the sea to make Malatang by himself, how could he not be surprised?

"Didn't you say before that Malatang is all junk food? You don't eat it yourself, how do you think of making Malatang? Ji Ran asked strangely.

"I didn't eat it before, because I wanted to pursue a better quality of life, but now that the conditions are different, I naturally have to lower my stature, not to mention that I make it for others, as long as I try to clean it up and do it with a conscience." Liu Gongzi said to Ji Ran.

"Hehe, are you really going to do this? But I'm tired. Ji Ran reminded with a smile.

"What are you doing now, aren't you tired? It's okay to be tired, it's okay. Liu Gongzi smiled and said.

Seeing that Liu Gongzi wanted to do Malatang so seriously, Ji Ran did not object, in fact, she felt that this industry was at least a reliable industry, at least much more reliable than writing the Internet, if she wrote, a book would become popular, and she might be able to make a lot of money, but once she hit the street, she might be hungry for several months, but if she made Malatang, she would not have such concerns.

As long as the market is opened, it is a profitable business and not a loss.

Moreover, Zhang Liang Malatang is also an old brand for more than ten years, and Yang Guofu Malatang is an old brand of Malatang, even if it is not advertised, there is no need to worry about no business.

It's just that if you join now, the franchise fee will be more expensive, if it is a few years earlier, it can be cheaper, remember that around 2018, the franchise fee of a store is only 70,000 or 80,000, and now if you join, it will cost almost 100,000 yuan, and if the store is larger, it will even take more than 200,000.

Of course, Liu Gongzi will definitely not make a big store as soon as he comes up, after all, it is still in the experimental period, so he rented a sixty-square-meter store first, planning to start small.

After listening to Liu Gongzi's plan, Ji Ran agreed with both hands, she went to discuss with the tenant who rented her house, and asked the other party to pay the rent for two years in advance, and then discussed it with Ji's father and Ji's mother, and made up 100,000 yuan and gave it to Liu Gongzi.

"Ah, this is 100,000 yuan, there are only so many at home, save a little." Ji Ran stuffed the money into Liu Gongzi's hand.

Liu Gongzi held the money, and was so moved that he almost shed tears, but he didn't expect that when he was at the lowest point in his life, he relied on the help of Ji Ran's family to make a comeback.

"Xiao Ran, don't worry, I will pay the money back." Liu Gongzi nodded solemnly and accepted the money.

On the weekend, Ji Ran and Liu Gongzi went to the store to take a look, and it was almost decorated, all of which were decorated according to Zhang Liang Malatang's standards, although the façade was not big, but it looked quite foreign.

After a few days, the store was finally renovated, the decoration fee cost more than 30,000 yuan, the franchise fee was 60,000 yuan, and there were 10,000 yuan left, Liu Gongzi spent 3,000 yuan to hire a clerk to help, and the remaining 7,000 yuan were all bought and ready to open for business.

Of course, in order to support Liu Gongzi's small shop, Ji Ran also posted on the campus forum, hoping that students would have the opportunity to try it, and also opened accounts for Liu Gongzi on mobile apps such as Meituan and Ele.me.

With the joint efforts of Ji Ran and Liu Gongzi, the store finally opened in full swing.
