Hearing Cao Zhiqiang say this, Lou Xiao'e said with a slightly surprised face: "Hey, Xiao Cao, I didn't expect you to have a lot of ideas." ”

"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Don't hide it, I have already eaten the dividends of reform, just recently, I only took three months to earn 500,000 yuan, or after tax." ”

After hearing this sentence again, Lou Xiao'e was really shocked: "What, you earned 500,000 yuan in three months?" What do you do to earn money? ”

"Of course it's the right thing." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "But you may not be able to do this way of making money, I wrote poems, published a book of poems, and then earned the manuscript fee." ”

"A collection of poems? Royalties? Lou Xiao'e was stunned again, "You mean, you made so much money by publishing books?" ”

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded, "So this method of making money for me is really not something that ordinary people can learn." ”

"That's right." Lou Xiao'e smiled, "The business of writing poems to earn manuscript fees depends on personal talent, and ordinary people really can't learn it." ”

"Yo, Aunt Lou seems to understand very well." Cao Zhiqiang said, "I know the market in our mainland very well." ”

"Not really." Lou Xiao'e smiled, "Don't forget, I grew up here, and I didn't have to go to Xiangjiang later, but even if I went to Xiangjiang, I have always paid attention to the situation here, so I may not know less about things here than you." ”

"I see." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "So, Aunt Lou, do you really plan to invest in the mainland and make money in the mainland?" ”

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked around, and found that it was very empty, there were few people around, and no one paid attention to this side, so she nodded to Cao Zhiqiang.

"Yes, I do."

Hearing Lou Xiao'e say this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Aunt Lou, can you tell me why you plan to invest in the mainland?" What projects do you plan to invest in? If there's a suitable one, we might be able to work together. ”

"Cooperation?" Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, and looked at Cao Zhiqiang carefully, "You want to cooperate with me?" That's why you're here to see me? ”

"Not really." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "Aunt Lou, you really think too much." ”

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang deliberately groaned for a while, and then said: "Actually, when I came to see you this time, I really just listened to my friend's words, and I wanted to come and see if you were really Lou Xiao'e, sorry, I said your full name." ”

"It's fine." Lou Xiao'e waved her hand, "The name is what people call, it doesn't matter." ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Aunt Lou, I really just want to see if you are real, after all, I have a lot of respect for Uncle He, and of course I am very interested in the person he really likes."

So, the purpose of my first place here, for no other reason, is to make sure if you are really Aunt Lou, and I haven't thought about anything else.

However, when I actually met with you and heard you say these things, I have some new ideas.

You see, you don't care if you grew up here, but your current identity, that is, a native of Hong Kong, is a serious Hong Kong businessman.

And if you want to invest here and find a project, you must find a reliable project.

How can it be reliable? It's best to find a reliable person to work with, especially to find some reliable leaders and departments.

Coincidentally, I have just negotiated two projects with several big leaders, and they are currently being promoted.

I think if you agree to join in and invest together, it may be very good, and you can cooperate for a win-win situation and ensure that you make a lot of money! ”

"Oh? Two projects? Lou Xiao'e smiled, "What are the projects, let's hear about them?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang raised his first finger: "The first project is a record company."

If you want, I plan to partner with you to open a Sino-Hong Kong joint venture record company in the mainland to develop the music industry.

The music industry in the mainland is still quite primitive, and it is still too far from Xiangjiang, but the market is very vast, far from being comparable to a small place in Xiangjiang.

In Xiangjiang, if you are a singer, it is good if you can sell 10,000 records for an album.

But in the mainland, an album can easily sell 800,000 copies, which is still a one-day sales.

Moreover, the mainland's artists have low requirements, low salaries, and no need to share, so record companies can get more income.

Therefore, if you set up a record company in the mainland and build an artist industry, there is a lot to be done. ”

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e frowned, then shook her head with a smile: "I'm sorry, I don't understand this business, so let's forget it." ”

found that Lou Xiao'e was not interested, and Cao Zhiqiang did not force it, because he knew that talking more about this issue at this time would only annoy her.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang is not a stupid pillar after all, and he has no ability to let Lou Xiao'e forcibly reduce his intelligence.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang raised a second finger: "Then the second project, you must be interested."

My second project is to open a chef training school! ”

"Chef training school?" Lou Xiao'e was stunned.

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Actually, when I talk about opening a chef training school now, I am putting gold on my face."

Strictly speaking, I wanted to start a chef training class and then slowly expand it.

When the scale is large, I applied for the establishment of a private technical training school, mainly to train chefs and waiters.

Nowadays, there is no school in China that specializes in training chefs, and if you want to learn cooking, you have to learn from a teacher like the old tradition, and the master may not teach the real thing.

Coupled with the relationship of those ten years, the country is now a proper food desert, not to mention that it is not as good as Xiangjiang, not even more than ten years ago.

If nothing else, just say that we are the capital of the capital, it is said to be the center of the country, and the food should be very good, right?

However, if you go out to take a look at the restaurants here, except for a few high-end places that are only for leaders, what good things can ordinary people eat?

It's not that there are no good chefs left, but those good cooks, like Uncle He, are now either in state-run restaurants or in the canteens of various factories.

Even so, they are hidden and never teach the truth, and their apprentices are very few, basically all of them are family inheritance, and they are still passed on to men rather than women.

Now, there is no such thing as a very high level of cooking, a real willingness to teach real skills, and a willingness to open the door to disciples, and to teach all kinds of good chefs.

In other words, there are not no good cooks in the capital now, but the number is too small and the apprentices are too few, so it can't form a climate.

However, the times have changed, and if you continue to be so self-contained, you will be eliminated by the market sooner or later.

If you have been in Xiangjiang, you should know that in modern society, the key is how to quickly and effectively realize your talents, and formalize and systematize them as soon as possible, so that you can really become bigger and stronger for a long time.

continues to guard his own recipes and craftsmanship, and what kind of tricks are passed on to men and not women, sooner or later he will be swept into the garbage heap of history.

And cooking is also an innovation, and the old things handed down from the ancestors may not all be good.

How to innovate? For example, there are more chefs, more communication, and keeping up with the times.

So I came up with the idea of opening a cooking training class and openly recruiting young people to train them to become chefs.

I've found the teacher who trains chefs, and it's Uncle He! ”

"Silly pillar?" Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but speak, "Is there still him here?" ”

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "That's right, this so-called chef training school, no, let's just say it's a cooking training class."

Because of policy factors, this cooking training class, for the time being, is still a restaurant on the surface, but this restaurant is a little special, not a single one, but an iron cable.

In other words, I partnered with Uncle He to open a restaurant together, which on the surface seemed to be a normal restaurant business.

But in fact, the back kitchen of this restaurant is much larger than that of ordinary restaurants, at least four or five times larger.

In addition, I have more chefs in this restaurant than in other restaurants, at least four or five times more.

To be precise, this restaurant is actually a chef training center, or a culinary incubation center!

When the time came, Uncle He worked as a cook in the back kitchen, cooking and teaching his apprentices at the same time.

When an apprentice comes to learn his skills, he has to sign a contract seriously, which is a serious teacher-student relationship.

The contract can be stipulated, and during the study period, the tuition fee does not have to be paid, and it also includes food, accommodation, and assignment of work.

During the study period, students must fully obey the arrangements of our headquarters, such as going to the branch to help the internship and so on.

After passing the assessment, we will issue them a qualification certificate to prove that they have graduated from our school and have been professionally recognized by our training class.

Then, as the contract says, after this chef graduates, we have to be responsible for finding him a job.

Where is the work?

He can go out and find a job on his own, or we can assign him a job.

It's just that if he goes alone and goes out to find a job by himself, he will have to make up the tuition fees.

If he refuses, then he will not be issued a qualification certificate, he will not be regarded as Uncle He's disciple, and he will no longer be able to play the banner of Uncle He's apprentice in the future, nor can he play the banner of our cooking training class, and he will not get our professional secret recipes.

And if we assign him a job, as long as he is obedient and has worked in the prescribed position for at least three years, he does not need to pay back tuition.

Uncle He is in charge, there is no need to worry about the taste of the restaurant's food, and the guests don't have to worry.

I plan to open a restaurant first and make it known, and then I can use the fame of our restaurant to open a branch.

As for the branches, we don't open them ourselves, but find franchisees and partner with others.

When the time comes, others only need to pay for the storefront, and the decoration must be in accordance with our requirements.

If we pass the inspection, we can put out signboards and management, and of course, we will send our church chefs to work, and even send special people to support us at the beginning.

At that time, the franchisee only needs to pay a franchise management fee and chef salary on a monthly basis, and you can be the shopkeeper, without worrying about not being able to hire a good chef, and you don't have to worry about having no customers, just lie down and make money.

Of course, if the chef we teach wants to open his own restaurant, that's fine.

If the chef we have trained wants to pay for the store and the decoration by himself, then he only needs to pay a franchise fee in the future, and he does not need to pay the chef's salary, because he is a chef himself.

This is known as the franchisee model.

Under this model, we can expand rapidly, launch a food and beverage brand, and unify the management of signboards, which is also convenient for the quality control of each branch.

For those franchisees, they save a lot of risks in opening a store, because they don't have to worry about not having good chefs and good dishes, so they don't have to worry about not having customers.

At the same time, they can also enjoy the blessing of our brand, for example, if we advertise, because it is a brand advertisement, their franchise stores can also get the blessing of advertising because they are all a brand and belong to the branch model.

Also, we can sell ingredients and secret recipes.

For example, we will research some special soup bases and ingredients, which can only be bought by franchisees and our headquarters, and the branch must have a chef from our headquarters, all of whom have been professionally trained, and the quality control of the dishes can also be guaranteed.

To be more precise, it is standardization and scale.

All franchise stores, in fact, have a partnership with our headquarters.

That is, the franchisee pays money, we give technology and talents, and then the headquarters gives the franchisee a franchise certificate, and we partner to do business.

All franchise stores need to accept the unified management of the headquarters, to ensure that the signboard is the same, the decoration is the same, the dishes are the same, the taste is similar, the management is consistent, and it must give people a sense of formality.

In this model, franchisees can make money with less risk, and we can scale up quickly, which is a win-win model.

Of course, the premise of this is that the dishes in our headquarters must have specialties that cannot be made by others.

Our dishes must be full of color and flavor, quality control must be done well, and management must be formal, and it must be done that no one else has.

In addition, we must rather lack than abuse for franchisees, and we must find reliable franchisees, not unreliable people.

Are you interested in such a franchise business? ”

"Franchise?" Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up, "This is a bit interesting." ”

"It's more than interesting." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "In addition to the dishes being distinctive, you also have to have a really good chef."

It's not that there are no good chefs in the city now, but those good chefs are often arrogant and unwilling to work with others.

But Uncle He is different, his cooking skills are not picky, and he is also the heir of the Tan family's cuisine, all the four major cuisines of Sichuan, Lu, Guangdong and Huai, especially good at Sichuan cuisine.

Uncle He joined, and with some secret recipes I got, and of course, my funds, this business will definitely succeed. ”

After a slight pause, Cao Zhiqiang said: "Don't hide it, I originally wanted to do it myself, but if you are willing to join the gang, then I can also count you as a share." ”

"Is this?" Lou Xiao'e thought for a while, "It's good, but if you say it rashly, I still have to think about it." ”

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e looked up at Cao Zhiqiang: "Do you have a detailed plan?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Professional, worthy of being from Xiangjiang!" ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, if you are interested, I will give you a detailed plan tomorrow." Not only that, but I can also take you to see the restaurant that will soon be abbreviated.

To tell you the truth, I opened a restaurant, no, I bought a house for a cooking training class, and the decoration is being done, and it will be good soon.

If you're willing to join, you'll have to hurry.

When the time comes, after you officially move in, I will buy the next few houses, and I will expand the scale from the beginning, and the decoration can be done better.

I believe that together we can build a real restaurant group and become the largest hot pot chain in the country! ”

"That's for the best, of course." Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly, "By the way, can you show me that poetry collection you published?" ”

"No problem." Cao Zhiqiang said, "When I send you a plan tomorrow, I will send it with my poetry collection." ”

"That's for the best." Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded.

After speaking, Lou Xiao'e thought for a while and said, "That's it, it's too late today, tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, you come here to find me." ”

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e asked Cao Zhiqiang if he had a pen and paper, and Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly took out a small notebook and a ballpoint pen.

Lou Xiao'e wrote down a room number on a piece of paper in a small notebook, and then handed it to Cao Zhiqiang: "This is my room number, you can come here to find me at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will read your plan when the time comes." ”

Cao Zhiqiang looked at it, put away the small notebook, and then said to Lou Xiao'e: "Don't worry, I will be on time tomorrow." ”

"That's good." Lou Xiao'e nodded, then suddenly smiled and said to Cao Zhiqiang, "I didn't expect that there would be a character like you in that courtyard, it's really rare." ”

"I'm nothing." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "It's this era that gives me the opportunity to be a trendsetter of the times, if I catch up with the era when you left, it's useless for me to live in my brain." ”

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, and then nodded very embarrassed: "That's what I said, that era...... Hey, don't mention it, it's all in the past. ”

"You really don't go to the courtyard to see, really don't you go to see Uncle He?" Cao Zhiqiang suddenly asked.

"Forget it, I'm not going." Lou Xiao'e shook her head, "Rushing over now will only make each other embarrassed."

If...... Well, I'll talk about it next time I have a chance.

In short, since I, Lou Xiao'e, have come back, I will go to him sooner or later.

Please keep it a secret for me, and don't tell him I'm coming. ”

"You can rest assured." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I promise not to say it." ”

Lou Xiao'e nodded, and then said embarrassedly: "That, can't you really give me our family's heirloom secretly?" Don't worry, I'll tell Silly Zhu when I go back, it's okay. ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Aunt Lou, you are embarrassing me."

Yes, the heirloom may have been yours, but you gave it to Uncle He, it was a gift, and it was reasonable, and that thing was now Uncle He's.

If I take it rashly, I will take it without telling it, and I will be a thief!

Even if it's given to you secretly.

So, if you really want to go back, you might as well ask Uncle He for it in person.

Don't worry, the things are still there, not lost! ”

Lou Xiao'e was stunned, and then smiled dumbly: "That's what I said." That's okay, I won't embarrass you, I'll go with the stupid pillar when I turn around. ”

"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

"Okay then." Lou Xiao'e stood up, "In that case, let's get here here today."

To tell you the truth, I'm so tired today that I want to go back and rest first.

You come to me tomorrow, let's talk about it again, okay? ”

"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang also stood up, "Then Aunt Lou, go back and rest, see you tomorrow." ”

"See you tomorrow." Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded.
