"Well said!"

Uncle Yi suddenly slapped the table and said loudly: "In life, you really shouldn't worry too much, but it's enough to ask for peace of mind!" ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Yi turned his head to look at Cao Zhiqiang, and said with a look of relief: "Qiangzi, just say what you said today, you should be rich, you should be promoted!" ”

"That's a good point." Yu Li smiled and said, "If it weren't for the fact that Qiangzi is now a big boss and a big leader, this pattern would be different." ”

Uncle Yi sighed and said: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that in our courtyard, there would be a character like you."

It is said that the three masters in our yard are the most calculating, in my opinion, he is all small calculations, compared with the strong son, you are nothing, you are a big calculation, big heart. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Yan Jiecheng hurriedly smiled, "If you want me to say, my dad is all a small calculation, picking and searching, and he can't get on the stage, if he really wants to talk about calculations, he has to be a strong son." Otherwise, how could it take less than a year to become today's climate, this must be a big calculation. ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Okay, it's all a neighborhood in the same courtyard, everyone has known each other for so long, who doesn't know who, there is no need to say these words." ”

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Yu Li: "Aunt Yu, you came to me on purpose, you didn't just want to say this, is there anything else?" Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush. ”

Yu Li frowned, looked at the others, and then said with a dry smile: "This, say it here?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "None of them are outsiders, let's just say it." ”

Yu Li lowered her head, rolled her eyes, thought about it, and then sighed: "Okay, since this is the case, I am not afraid of being embarrassed, so I have something to say." ”

Immediately afterwards, Yu Li raised her head and said to Cao Zhiqiang: "Qiangzi, that's the case, what about me, it wasn't that the efficiency of the unit was not good before, so I was suspended from pay and left my job, and planned to come out to open a restaurant by myself and become a self-employed person."

Then, we invested all the money and borrowed money from all over the place, and finally opened the restaurant.

As a result, it has been open for so long, and it has always been a loss, and there are basically no customers coming to the door.

But every day, the water and electricity, the rent, the waiter's salary, and all kinds of purchases are indispensable.

Anyway, it's just that I can't get in and out every day, and I lose money every day, and my heart is uncomfortable to watch.

Later, I found out that the restaurant business was not good, not because of the location, but because the food tasted bad, and there were other restaurants around that competed with us.

The food in other restaurants, to be honest, is better than ours.

For the same dish, the price of other people is the same as ours, but the taste is better than ours, so whoever changes it will go to another family, and will not go to our house.

Therefore, I figured out a reason, that is, to open a restaurant, you must have a good cook, without a good cook, there is no good food, and without good food, then customers will not come.

Therefore, I just wanted to ask Silly Zhu to help, and I didn't think about asking him to take charge of the spoon, I knew that I couldn't invite him, so I just wanted to invite him as an apprentice.

But who knows, as soon as Silly Zhu heard my request, he directly opened his mouth to my lion, saying that it would cost me 500 yuan a month, and that he could only send me a cook, and he had to pay me a month's salary in advance.

If the stupid pillar goes, I will definitely give it without saying a word, but just one of his apprentices will ask me to give me a salary of 500 yuan a month, and I have to pay it in advance.

In case his apprentice can't do it, he will have to be dismissed when he turns back, won't I lose a month's salary in vain?

I begged the fool to be accommodating, and sent someone over to help me first, and then I would pay my salary when the business was good.

If the business really improves and there is money to be made, I will definitely give 500 yuan.

But the stupid pillar just didn't listen, he had to ask me to give it in advance, this is not a scoundrel! ”

"That's it!" Yan Xie said, "How can the salary be paid in advance, there is no reason for this, I think the stupid pillar is a fool!" ”

Yu Li smiled and said to Cao Zhiqiang: "Then, when I was still begging for Silly Zhu, Silly Zhu blasted me out, and then I saw Lou Xiao'e coming over with He Xiao, you said that this matter is troublesome, but it is true." ”

After shaking her head, Yu Li looked at Cao Zhiqiang again, and said with a smile: "Zhiqiang, since Silly Zhu's heart is not on your side now, what about you, you have a big family and a big business, and you are not afraid of Silly Zhu leaving, so can you lend me a chef to use?"

If you are willing to lend me a cook, I will definitely listen to you for everything, but you can see if the salary can be less.

Anyway, you're not so bad for 180 yuan, so you should help your Aunt Yu, okay? ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly and shook his head gently.

"Ah, no?" Yu Li frowned and said, "Zhiqiang, just let your aunt beg you, okay?" Help! You don't want to watch us lose all our money and end up closing our doors, do you? ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "I didn't say I wouldn't help you, I just think your vision is too small, just borrow a cook, what's the use." ”

"It works." Yan Jiecheng said with a smile, "As long as there are good cooks and good meals, customers will come to the door, and business will naturally improve, so why won't it work?" ”

"Shut up!" Yu Li glared at Yan Jiecheng, "Since Zhiqiang said so, there must be a better idea, you just keep your mouth shut and listen honestly!" ”

After spraying her husband angrily, Yu Li turned her head again and said to Cao Zhiqiang with a flattering smile: "Zhiqiang, you say, we all listen." ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded and smiled: "What about this meal, we all pay attention to the color, flavor, taste and fragrance, naturally needless to mention, we do pay attention to the chef's skills, but this color is not only the chef's skills." ”

After a pause, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "In fact, the dining environment is also very important, the British once did an experiment, a chef made a dish, divided into two portions, and let two unwitting guests eat.

One of the guests was in a very elegant and upscale setting, listening to the violin and eating the dish on fine tableware.

Another guest eats his share of food in a dirty and messy little restaurant, using dirty cheap utensils.

The dishes eaten by the two guests are the same, but the environment is different, the tableware is different, and in the end, the two guests have different evaluations of that dish, and even feel that the taste is different.

It can be seen that the dining environment is very important, at least you can increase the taste of a meal, improve your taste, and the price can naturally be sold.

So, I think you might as well take this opportunity to close the door directly, and then redecorate your humble restaurant first, at least paint the walls, change a set of tables, chairs and tableware, and the waiters should also wear beautiful uniforms, and by the way, get a tape recorder, and put on a soothing piano music or something as the background music.

With these hardware conditions, make a beautiful neon sign, and then I will transfer you a chef over, this can be like words, and the business can improve. ”

Yu Li was stunned for a while, and then said: "Oh, Zhiqiang, what you said, how much does it cost, I don't have any money, I can't do this." ”

"Don't be afraid." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "If you don't have money, I can lend you money." ”

"Borrow money?" Yu Liyi frowned, "How much to borrow?" How much is the interest? ”

Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while: "I've heard of your restaurant, that place and that environment, it's okay, the flow of people is very good, so you don't need to change places."

The lot is no problem, the next step is to renovate.

Well, you redecorate that place inside and out, clean up the façade, make a neon sign, get some parasols outside, change a batch of new tables, chairs and benches, and customize a batch of staff uniforms or something, so that I will lend you 20,000 yuan, which should be more than enough. ”

"Twenty thousand?" Yu Li opened her mouth wide, "So much? Just renovating? ”

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Just to buy an air conditioner, you have to pay more than 6,000 fast money, and it's autumn, it won't be long before it's winter, and you have to get a heating boiler, 20,000 yuan is not much at all." ”

Yu Li frowned and said, "But 20,000 yuan, how much is the interest?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Hehe, it's all your own family, you don't need interest, you can pay it back within two years." ”

"No interest?" Yu Li's eyes widened, "Really? ”

"Nature is true." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"But it's been two years, and the pressure is also very high." Yan Xie said, "Two years, pay back 20,000, hey, this, this is not easy to earn, how can we pay it off in two years." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, as long as you follow my method, it won't take a year for you to pay off my 20,000 yuan, and the rest is your own, and you will make more and more money in the future." ”

"Really?" Yan Jiecheng's eyes widened.

"What is really fake." Yu Li glared at Yan Jiecheng, "Who is Zhiqiang?" When people say yes, they must be able, so you can say a few words. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Li looked at Cao Zhiqiang again: "Okay, since you say so, then I definitely believe it, but, is there any other condition for such a good thing as borrowing money without interest?" ”

"Other conditions, naturally, there are also them." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded.

"What are the conditions?" Yu Li asked as expected.

Cao Zhiqiang said: "In this way, I will lend you money to decorate, and I will also send you the chefs we have cultivated, and even give you some of our secret recipes, but your restaurant has to change its name, as for what name to change, I haven't thought about it yet, I'll talk about it later."

In short, I plan to use your restaurant as a pilot to implement my Malatang chain model. ”

"Malatang chain store model?" Yu Li frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Didn't I mention it before, Shiweitian is not only a restaurant, but also a restaurant training school, which is to train my own chefs and waiters."

Of course, in addition to this, I can also take advantage of this to gather some workers in the machinery factory and reduce the wage pressure in the machinery factory.

In short, I plan to open a special fast food restaurant that focuses on ordinary people in addition to food.

As for this kind of special fast food restaurant, instead of ordering food by customers and then cooking by the chef as in the past, it only makes a kind of spicy hot pot like a hot pot.

For spicy hot, you only need to have a fixed soup pot base, and then prepare all kinds of vegetables and meat.

When the guests come, they choose the ingredients to eat, weigh and calculate the money according to the type and quantity of the ingredients, and then cook them with a special spicy hot base, and then serve them to the guests.

In this way, there is no need for too many chefs, and there is no need for chefs to have high cooking skills, just need the base of Malatang to be good enough, the seasoning is good enough, the ingredients are fresh, and the taste is good enough, which can greatly reduce operating costs.

In addition, of course, you should also add some drinks such as milk tea, which are low-cost but can make a lot of money.

As long as the taste is good, the price is moderate, and the dining environment is good, this kind of spicy tang will definitely become popular.

Once your pilot is successful, everyone recognizes Malatang, and when the time comes, I will open three stores in a row, no, five stores of the same type in one go, with the same signboard, the same business methods, and the same food sold, and directly come to a cluster to fight.

At that time, this Malatang fast food restaurant will become a star restaurant, and when everyone thinks of Malatang, they think of my storefront.

In this way, the industry can be expanded and more money can be made than the average restaurant. ”

"Sounds good." Yu Li smiled, "But if we let our restaurant be a pilot for you, are there any other requirements?" ”

"Absolutely." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

"Once you agree to my method, your restaurant will become my franchise, you can't use your own sign, you have to use my sign, and the decoration environment, staff uniforms, and operating regulations must be according to my will.

In addition, you have to go to the food for the day regularly and buy the base of Malatang.

I won't tell you the base recipe of Malatang, we can only produce it ourselves in advance, and then you are short of materials, so you will go to our side, and the purchase price can be negotiable, and it will be counted in January.

In addition, aside from my personal loan to you, the income of your Malatang fast food restaurant must pay us a brand fee every month in proportion, and the brand fee will not be much, but it must be.

Don't think that this brand fee suffers, in fact, you don't suffer at all.

Because after I open a few more chain stores, I will regularly advertise in various ways with the signboard of the franchise store, such as newspapers, radio, and even television.

Therefore, the brand fee you pay is equivalent to the advertising fee.

The most important thing is that you can only continue to use our family's exclusive formula if you pay the brand fee regularly, otherwise you can't continue to use it.

Do you understand what I'm talking about? ”

Yu Li blinked: "That is to say, the restaurant we opened at our own expense, we have to listen to you for everything, the signboard is also yours, and we have to pay a management fee every month?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Pay attention to my mouth shape, brand fee!" ”

"No matter what the fee, you have to pay it every month anyway, in proportion to your income, right?" Yu Li asked.

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"Only by agreeing to these conditions will you be willing to lend us money, and will you be willing to lend us a cook?" Yu Li asked again.

"Yes!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded again.

Yu Li frowned: "Can we think about it?" ”

"Think about it." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "But not too long, if the time is too long, I have other options, and someone else will help me open a Malatang pilot, then everything I said before will be nullified." ”

"Okay, I got it." Yu Li nodded with a serious face, "I will think about it as soon as possible, and I will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible."

Immediately afterwards, Yu Li stood up and said, "In this way, if it's okay, we'll leave first, and we'll talk later." ”

After speaking, Yu Li gave Yan Jiecheng a look, and Yan Jiecheng quickly stood up.

Yu Li continued to smile and nod to Uncle Yi, Cao Jiajia, Cao Zhiqiang, and Wu Qinghong respectively, then turned around and left in a hurry with Yan Jiecheng.
