Chapter 235: The Two Join Forces
The Chamber of Commerce was established, and the business of the Kelai Restaurant returned to normal, and the monthly profit should be about 3,000 taels of silver. According to this profit, plus the land of the guest restaurant, 30% of the shares can be worth 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver.
Seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver in exchange for a few months of VIP cards to accumulate the price of wine and food, Lin Dong believes that in addition to wanting to save money as much as possible to survive this catastrophe, Wang Shuangxi's desire to repay the favor is definitely not low.
If it is a legitimate transaction, Lin Dong will refuse 100%. One is that it is stupid to help a good competitor avoid the crisis, and the other is that if you really do what Wang Shuangxi said, it will definitely affect the inn's business to a certain extent.
Seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver is a lot, but Lin Dongzhi will definitely not do this in the entire Autumn Wind City.
However, Wang Shuangxi offered this price because he wanted to repay his kindness.
Lin Dong has never treated his friends coldly so far, although he knows that it is time to refuse with a hard heart, and when the guest restaurant is down, supporting 1,800 taels of silver can be regarded as a friendship, but he still can't open this mouth.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Dong couldn't help but glance at Yiyi on the side and asked, "Boss Wang, if Yiyi is allowed to play the piano and sing in the guest restaurant, I think that even if the price of the guest restaurant is raised, it should not have too much impact, right?" ”
Wang Shuangxi smiled bitterly, what Shopkeeper Lin meant, was unwilling to accept the conditions that were suitable for both parties. A little disappointed in his heart, Wang Shuangxi still shook his head and explained: "It's really inappropriate for a girl's family to show up. ”
Lin Dong looked at Yiyi and Wang Bin, who were also smiling bitterly, and lightly tapped his index finger on the tabletop, falling into consideration.
The three of them looked at Lin Dong closely, a little unable to understand why he was reluctant to agree. This condition is obviously Lin Ji Inn taking advantage, if the shopkeeper Lin is really the kind of person who would rather suffer a loss than make his competitors sad, he would not have returned the title deed of the restaurant and more than 100,000 taels of silver tickets.
Early summer is approaching, and in the distant sky, the slightly scorching sun is slowly shifting towards the west, bringing the shadows of the four people closer to the middle little by little.
Suddenly, Lin Dong stopped tapping his fingers on the table and said, "Boss Wang, how about we cooperate?" ”
"Cooperation?" All three were at a loss.
Lin Dong nodded and said: "If the VIP card of Lin Ji Inn can also accumulate the price in the guest restaurant, it means that a small part of the business of Lin Ji Inn will be pulled by the guest restaurant, and at this stage, it will take a lot of effort to pull a table of guests." To be honest, in my eyes, 30% of the shares of Kelai Restaurant are not worth this price. ”
The three of them were a little dumbfounded, and the thirty percent of the shares that they thought were very valuable were not as good as a few tables of guests in the eyes of Shopkeeper Lin.
Thinking of Lin Dong's words, the three of them had expectations in their hearts, and couldn't help but look at Lin Dong together, waiting for his explanation.
Lin Dong carefully sorted out his thoughts and said, "Boss Wang, how many plates of braised carp do you make a day now?" ”
"About thirty plates." Wang Shuangxi said helplessly: "The current guests of the guest restaurant are almost all supported by braised carp. ”
On the side, Wang Bin and Yiyi's faces were slightly red, obviously a little ashamed in their hearts.
"How many plates can Boss Wang make in a day at most?" Lin Dong didn't care about Wang Shuangxi's dust disease.
"If the materials are complete...... Wang Shuangxi thought about it for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be difficult to have seventy plates a day." ”
Seventy plates, still a little less, fortunately, it is not impossible.
Lin Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "In this way, Lin Ji Inn has braised soft-shelled turtle and vitality beef balls with maple leaves, and braised carp from Kelai Restaurant, how about we join forces?" ”
"Teaming up?" Wang Shuangxi was surprised: "What does Shopkeeper Lin mean that Lin Ji Inn and Kelai Restaurant can sell each other's signature dishes at the same time?" ”
"Yes!" Lin Dong nodded and said: "Lin Ji Inn and Kelai Restaurant are not far apart, after the guests order, the horses will be transported quickly, and the weather is not cold, so they can be served in time." In this way, it means that the strength of both of us has improved a lot, although the business is a bit of a mutual robbery, but it can also rob the diners of other restaurants, which is far better than the business of the guest restaurant with the help of Lin Kee Inn. ”
"But in this case, if the guest restaurant raises the price...... Wang Shuangxi wants to stop talking, once the guest comes to the restaurant to raise the price, and the Lin Ji Inn does not move, the same special dishes, diners will naturally run to the place with a low price.
"How do you want to mention Boss Wang?" Lin Dong asked.
"It will take about ten days to recover the price of 10%." Wang Shuangxi explained: "Although the amplitude is a little larger, everyone knows that major restaurants are losing money now, and some old customers should be able to understand." ”
Lin Dong nodded and said: "The price of Lin Ji Inn remains the same, guests come to the restaurant, a table full of two taels of silver will give a plate of vitality beef balls, full of four taels of silver, and a stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves, if a guest mentions, the two can also be reversed." In that case, the attraction for both of us is about the same. ”
"But ......," Wang Shuangxi asked cautiously, "What is the cost of Vitality Beef Balls and Stewed Turtle with Maple Leaves?" ”
Lin Dong smiled leisurely: "Vitality beef balls are more than twenty yuan, and maple leaf stewed soft-shelled turtle is less than two hundred yuan." ”
The three of them were stunned, and they all exclaimed, "So low? ”
"Shopkeeper Lin, this cost ......" Wang Shuangxi smiled bitterly: "It's almost low to ordinary ingredients, especially vitality beef balls, which are almost the price of ordinary ingredients, Shopkeeper Lin doesn't want to lose money to help us come to the restaurant, right?" ”
Lin Dong shook his head: "Boss Wang, don't worry, I hope this cost will not be passed on." Otherwise, it will have a big impact on the reputation of the inn. After all, if you sell it for two taels of silver for more than 20 cents, even if it is worth the money, the profit is so high that anyone will feel uncomfortable. ”
Wang Shuangxi still didn't believe it, but chose to remain silent.
After a long time, Wang Shuangxi suddenly got up and said to Lin Dongzuo: "Shopkeeper Lin did not hesitate to lose money to help me come to the restaurant, this righteousness, Wang Shuangxi remembered it." In any case, please also ask the shopkeeper Lin to accept fifty percent of the shares of the guest restaurant. ”
Lin Dong couldn't cry or laugh, fifty percent of the shares, Wang Shuangxi's misunderstanding, but it was big enough, and he was willing to share half of the control of the guest restaurant.
Just as he was about to explain, Yiyi also stood up and said respectfully: "The two signature dishes of Lin Ji Inn have special miraculous effects, ordinary medicinal materials are simply impossible to be like this, no matter how much Shopkeeper Lin explains, no matter what, please ask Shopkeeper Lin to accept these fifty percent of the shares." ”
"Yes, yes, yes......" Wang Bin hurriedly stood up, nodded and said: "Brother Lin must accept it no matter what, no matter whether this fifty percent of the shares are worth anything in Brother Lin's heart, at least, we can feel at ease." ”
It was in vain to explain again, Lin Dong nodded helplessly: "Sancheng!" ”
The three of them still wanted to argue, but Lin Dong had already said with a straight face: "If there are more, I won't be able to feel at ease." ”
Wang Shuangxi let out a long breath and said with emotion: "In my life, Wang Shuangxi, it is a blessing to be able to make friends with a character like Shopkeeper Lin." ”
"Yes, yes!" Wang Bin hurriedly nodded: "Shopkeeper Lin shared the table with me that day, which is really the biggest luck in my life Wang Bin." ”
"It's not your luck." Lin Dong smiled and said, "It's the guy who asked for a long time, only you are willing to share a table with me." ”
Wang Bin grinned, this is also his great luck.
After discussing the details again, Lin Dong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This matter is good for both of us, so it's decided, sooner rather than later, I'll find Ma Chun to arrange this later." Now, you wait here, I'll go to the kitchen and cook, and I'll eat here at noon. ”
"I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Lin would also cook in person, and if I could taste Shopkeeper Lin's cooking skills and spread it out, my old face would be bright."
The boulder that pressed on his heart landed, Wang Shuangxi smiled from ear to ear, and exchanged signature dishes with Lin Ji Inn, the effect is definitely not inferior to the price of VIP cards and dishes that can be accumulated in the guest restaurant, and the benefits of this trip to Lin Ji Inn exceeded expectations.
Lin Dong smiled and said a few polite words, and immediately went to the kitchen to cook, pinched the time to make half a table of dishes, and when it was brought to the backyard, Yun Lan came suddenly.
After introducing each other, the three of them were undoubtedly a little surprised by Yun Lan's temperament, and they were even more convinced of the ability of the shopkeeper Lin. This Yun girl is obviously not an ordinary person, and it is even more difficult for a businessman covered in copper to make friends than to make friends with parents and officials in a city. After all, the parents are also full of copper stench, as long as the silver is enough, it is not difficult to call brothers and sisters. And the Yun girl in front of me is probably not something that silver can recognize.
After lunch, Wang Shuangxi's family was sent out of the inn, and after instructing Ma Chun to deal with this matter, Lin Dong went back to the room to practice.
In the afternoon, Lam Kee Inn and Kelai Restaurant posted notices almost at the same time, the former added a signature dish, while the latter added two signature dishes in one go, although the price of wine and food increased, but these two signature dishes were all free.
It was when the diners of Fenglin Restaurant returned to the restaurant, and as soon as this announcement came out, it showed some effect in the evening. The next day, the owners of major restaurants were vigilant and excited.
When the two join forces, the attraction is naturally a little bigger, which means that the competitors are a little stronger, and the owners of the major restaurants should be vigilant. He was impressed by the fact that the two significantly strengthened businesses were a living and good example.
Finding a neighboring restaurant to cooperate may also receive unexpected miraculous results.
Immediately, the owners of the major restaurants got up one after another and went to the neighboring restaurants where there were many suspicions and frictions in the past, and some even encountered them on the road.
In normal times, whose signature dish is better and whose characteristics are stronger, the two sides will definitely quarrel over this, plus years of grudges, and may even collapse for a few taels of silver. At this stage, both sides are surprisingly generous, and almost all of them have completely finalized the cooperation on the spot, if it is not for the fact that the road is too far to deliver food, some even want to join forces.
In this regard, Lin Dong laughed at it, and the combination of the major restaurants can not only disperse the diners of Fenglin Restaurant, but also enhance some resistance, which will do more good than harm to Lin Ji Inn. Wang Shuangxi also didn't care too much, the signature dishes of Lin Kee Inn are second only to the news of the Chamber of Commerce of Fenglin Restaurant, in comparison, these restaurants are far less beneficial than the guest restaurant.
The only thing that has some headaches is Ling Zhengyang, Lin Ji Inn is free, so his plan to drag those big restaurants with thin foundations to the point that they will never turn over has failed. Now there is a plan for the two to join forces to make the major restaurants compete to imitate, wanting to knock down most of the restaurants in Autumn Wind City in one fell swoop, and the completion time has to be delayed by more than three or five days.
If there is a Lin Kee Inn in all the big restaurants in each city, a delay of one day will probably be a loss of millions of taels.
