Chapter 96

Xu Lei and the two walked a short distance to their destination: the Good Taste Cafeteria.

A large bar at the door: open for three days, half-price tasting;

It used to be 80 yuan per person, but now it's only 40, so there are a lot of people who eat, and many of them are students from nearby universities.

Xu Lei and the two walked in and paid the money and found a place by the window. Look around, clean, hygienic, the environment is very good, probably because of the new decoration.

There is a lot of variety of food.

In addition to rice, there are also pizzas, breads, steamed buns, and fried dough sticks, which are suitable for people from different places.

In addition to the usual home-cooked dishes, there are also expensive dishes like abalone, bacon, sea cucumber, scallops, etc.

At the current price of 40 yuan, it can almost only return to the capital, maybe the boss just wants to use these days to make a name for himself.

There are still very few cafeterias near the university town, and most of them are fly restaurants when Xu Lei is studying. Because there is a reason, students need to consume a lot of brain power to read and are growing their bodies, so the amount of food is relatively large. Students are also more frugal, and in order to return to the self-help meal, it is common for them to go hungry for a day and then have a good time.

There are quite a lot of people around the bacon and abalone, and you need to get the food. Xu Lei didn't go to join in the fun, and picked some home-cooked food casually.

I tried it, the taste was okay, Xu Lei estimated that it was better than his own frying.

Sun Sicheng brought two bottles of beer, which was also free.

The two of them blew on each other, and Sun Sicheng asked Xu Lei: "What are the plans of the fourth child to come to Gancheng this time? If you look for a job, the major we studied is not easy to find now." ”

Xu Lei studied biotechnology and applications, which was originally quite marketable. It's a pity that the school is too weak to attract good companies, only some grass platform teams will come here to recruit people, and they can only give a salary of three or four thousand yuan a month, which they can't support themselves if they go.

Xu Lei swallowed the food in his mouth, shook his head and said, "I don't want to find any job, I plan to open a small shop by myself." Food & Beverage. ”

"Hmm, when did you learn to stir-fry?" Sun Sicheng was a little surprised, hesitated for a while and said: "The current market is not very good, since last year, many clothing and southern goods stores have transferred out to do catering." Most of the street across from our school has been converted into restaurants, and the competition is not ordinary. ”

"That's it..."Xu Lei didn't expect the market to change so quickly.

If he thinks about it carefully, there are also many shops on the street in Gongmi County at home that have been changed to sell steamed buns and hot noodles after being transferred. With the rise of e-commerce, express delivery began to be delivered on the first day or the next day, and online stores do not need rent and labor expenses so that things are sold at a much cheaper price; traditional clothing, small goods, and home appliances cannot compete with it at all, and only service industries such as catering can barely survive.

Sun Sicheng drank the wine in the bottle, smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, since you are now opening a restaurant, it shows that there is still money in this industry, or you should try it first." ”

Open must be opened, Xu Lei's golden finger is this. He is also confident: although other dishes are average, he has his signature dish 'fish head soup'. The taste is extraordinary, delicious, and with the accompanying special effects, once the effect comes out after a long time, there is no fear of no customers.

However, opening a store is not a trivial matter, and the location should be carefully selected.

Xu Lei finished picking up the food on the plate and said, "I'll take a look again, I haven't decided yet!"

........................

After the two finished eating and sat in the store for a while, Sun Sicheng left first after class in the evening, and left Xu Lei with the door key when he left.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry for a while, Xu Lei simply walked around. Most of the storefronts on the main street are occupied by large companies, and the annual rent is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of yuan smaller, so Xu Lei's small net worth doesn't need to be thought of.

There are some vacant storefronts in the small streets and alleys, but the flow of people is less, but the rent is not expected to be too low. I don't know if the 50,000 yuan I brought with me is enough. Xu Lei thought to himself.

In the evening, Xu Lei went to the talent market again and found that the salary level here is much higher than that of Gongmi County, and the average waiter also has 3000+, plus some necessities such as tables, chairs, stoves, etc., which are really nerve-wracking.

Xu Lei also said that the previous 'stone restaurant' was too small and too low-grade, but when he came here, it was not easy to do it in a place of forty or fifty square meters.

Alas, this is difficult to do, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

...............

At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Lei took a car back to the 'Ganzhou Biotechnology Vocational College'. He remembered that there were a lot of small single rooms here, which were quite cheap, so let's be smaller, and open the store first.

After this search, I found that there were several stores to be transferred or leased, and Xu Lei asked some information according to the phone number above.

The first is a restaurant that is currently open.

The boss said that it was because there was something at home that was not open, but Xu Lei estimated that it was the reason for the bad business. Eight or nine o'clock was the time for dinner, and there were few people in the store. The house is a little sloppy, probably because the boss is reluctant to decorate, and the rent is still four months due. The transfer fee is about 60,000 yuan, and you can get it at a bargaining price of 50,000 yuan.

Xu Lei doesn't like this very much, there are three restaurants in a row here, the sewage at the door is cross-flowing, and the environment is too poor.

The second is the South Goods Store, which has closed down.

The boss was very simple, and to tell the truth, because there was no business. The price is not expensive ~ 30,000 to take. In terms of rent, there are still more than five months. The boss is probably disheartened and anxious to shake his hands. Tell Xu Lei that if you can, you can sign a contract today.

Xu Lei didn't rush to agree, because there was a problem with this store: it was in the middle of this street. ......... Generally speaking, if you are doing business, it is the worst place to be in the middle. The people at both ends were stopped, and all they did was the business left by others.

The third room is a small single room that is set out.

Originally, it was a very large storefront, more than 100 square meters, doing auto repair, and the boss's business was not good last year. The store was empty for four or five months, and it was too wide to rent out, so the landlord found someone to divide it into two small rooms. Each room is about 50 square meters, and one has been rented out.

It's a little far from the school, but it's another street. Xu Lei feels that this location is very good, but the price is a bit expensive - 80,000 per year. Xu Lei talked to the landlord for a long time, but refused to lower it. He had no choice but to reluctantly say that he would think about it again...............

Xu Lei picked a restaurant with the best business on this street, tried the taste, and felt similar to his own craftsmanship, but there were no specialties here. It's true that it's cheap, and it's mostly a student business.
