After observing Shiweitian for a while, she found that there were more and more people, and Lou Xiao'e suddenly proposed that she wanted to go out for a walk.

As for the food for the day, she thinks it's okay, after all, today is not a rest day, and it can still be full, which has proved that the flow of customers here is very high.

For a restaurant, as long as the attendance rate is high, it is not a problem to make money, it is nothing more than a matter of earning more and earning less.

So seeing this, it's enough, there's no need to look any further.

"Really don't look at it anymore?" He Yuzhu, who followed Lou Xiao'e out of the door, asked.

"I don't look at it." Lou Xiao'e shook her head with a smile, and turned her head to look at the person sitting outside the door with a big pomp and circumstance dragon in Mazha, "There are a lot of customers, and the business is very good, so it's already clear at a glance." ”

"Yes." He Yuzhu nodded, "It's really clear at a glance." ”

Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu asked Lou Xiao'e again: "Then what do you think, do you want to invest here?" ”

"Vote, of course." Lou Xiao'e smiled, "This location is so good, the business is so good, why don't you invest?" And I also decided that I was going to buy this restaurant, and then I would buy the surrounding houses and turn them into bigger restaurants, and the business would definitely be better when the time came. ”

"That's a good feeling." He Yuzhu smiled, "But if you want to buy this, then Cao Zhiqiang may not agree." ”

"Not necessarily." Lou Xiao'e smiled, "I have been in contact with Cao Zhiqiang a few times, and he is a very shrewd person.

Although this restaurant is his, and he is also the one who made it popular, I know very well that he does not have this restaurant in his eyes, or rather, he does not like this restaurant at all. ”

"Can't you?" He Yuzhu frowned and said, "Cao Zhiqiang is very busy, but he should also be very concerned about this restaurant, otherwise, how could he let his own sister be the manager here, and get a lot of people to be my apprentices?" And got a lot of waiters here? ”

"It was through this that I realized that Cao Zhiqiang didn't like this restaurant." Lou Xiao'e smiled.

Immediately afterwards, Lou Xiao'e looked back at the signboard of "Food for the Sky" and said: "If Cao Zhiqiang really wanted to run this restaurant well, he would not invite so many chefs and waiters, let alone all the employees of their factory."

He obviously wants to use this place as a training base for chefs and waiters, and opening a restaurant is just by the way, mainly to train chefs and waiters for him.

Of course, if it's just like this, it can't be said that he doesn't care, but let me ask you, if you are the boss of such a popular restaurant, are you willing to sell it? ”

"Me? I'm definitely not selling. He Yuzhu shook his head, "The business of this restaurant is so good, how good it is to do it yourself, why sell it." ”

"That's the problem!"

Lou Xiao'e turned her head to look at He Yuzhu: "Silly Zhu, do you know, I didn't want to invest in this restaurant, but Cao Zhiqiang first proposed to me to sell the shares of this restaurant to me."

Although he didn't say sell it all at the time, I think he means that as long as I have the right price, he will definitely sell all his shares to me, and I am not particularly distressed.

Selling me all the shares is no different than selling me a restaurant.

Normally, it is the restaurant that has a bad business or is very short of money, so it will rush to sell the restaurant.

But the business of this restaurant is so good, and as far as I know, that Cao Zhiqiang is not short of money now, so he is still in a hurry to sell it to me, which is very abnormal. ”

He Yuzhu frowned: "But yes, such a good restaurant, why is Cao Zhiqiang willing to sell it?" ”

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly: "At first, I thought there was something wrong with this restaurant, but when I looked at the accounts, revenue, net profit margin, and the traffic here, I knew that he didn't lie to me, this is indeed a high-quality asset and a very profitable restaurant."

I didn't understand that he was in a hurry to buy such a good restaurant, but after listening to the business model here, I suddenly figured it out.

It turns out that this Cao Zhiqiang has a big heart, and he didn't look down on this restaurant at all. ”

He Yuzhu blinked: "Why is your heart too big?" ”

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly: "Look, the manager of this restaurant is Cao Zhiqiang's sister, the waiter and the cook, except for the two apprentices you brought from the unit canteen, the others are Hongguang Machinery Factory, that is, the unit where Cao Zhiqiang works."

In other words, in addition to being Cao Zhiqiang's personal restaurant, this restaurant is actually equivalent to the restaurant of Hongguang Machinery Factory, because everyone is theirs, you are at most an external hire, right? ”

He Yuzhu frowned and thought: "It seems to be the truth." ”

Lou Xiao'e said: "Then I also heard that except for some special dishes, the other dishes are basically made by your apprentices, I mean those chef apprentices who came from the Hongguang Machinery Factory, which is not wrong?" ”

"Yes, that's right." He Yuzhu nodded, "This is what I agreed with Cao Zhiqiang at the beginning, I only take care of the back kitchen, only the apprentices, but the meals for the guests, except for special requirements, basically the dishes on the menu of the restaurant are made by those people from the Hongguang Factory." ”

Lou Xiao'e said: "Isn't this over, the chefs are all his Cao Zhiqiang's people, the dishes are all made by his people, whether it is the waiter or the manager, they are all his people."

And for a restaurant, the most important thing is the chef and waiter.

Now, Cao Zhiqiang just sold the restaurant to me, and didn't say that he wanted to sell those people to me, and when the time came, I bought the restaurant, and he took the money, and he could take people away at any time, and then start a new business.

In doing so, although he will lose some popularity, with Cao Zhiqiang's business methods, since he was able to fry hot food in a short period of time, he naturally had a way to stir up the new store.

It is equivalent to saying that as soon as he sold this seemingly prosperous restaurant, he made several times the profit he had invested, and then he took the money and then invested in opening a restaurant. ”

"Ah, that's right." He Yuzhu frowned, "If you don't say that, I really didn't expect it." ”

Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu frowned and said: "You mean that after Cao Zhiqiang sells the restaurant to you, he will take your money and transfer the people here, and then open a new restaurant, and let these people go to the new restaurant to do it, is that what you mean?" ”

"That's right." Lou Xiao'e nodded.

He Yuzhu shook his head: "No, not quite right." You can say yes, but then the sign is gone. Now that this restaurant is a bit famous, opening another one may not be better than this. ”

Lou Xiao'e sighed: "You, what a cook, you don't know anything except cooking." Yes, if it were someone else, it might be a problem to open a new restaurant, but for Cao Zhiqiang, it would not be a problem at all for the new restaurant to be popular.

You think, this food for the day has not been open for a long time, why can it be so popular, do you think that your craftsmanship is really good, and it doesn't all rely on Cao Zhiqiang's management.

Although Cao Zhiqiang is not usually staring here, his methods are outside.

For example, the reason why this place is popular is because Cao Zhiqiang found a few foreigners, acted in a play, let some foreigners eat here, and praised the delicious food here and made it in the newspaper.

At the same time, Cao Zhiqiang also cooperated with CITS to let CITS bring foreign guests to dinner, and as long as they brought people, they would give CITS tour guides a commission.

There is a commission to get, and of course those tour guides of the International Travel Service are happy to bring foreign guests here.

There are many foreign guests, and the people in the capital are fresh, so they are naturally willing to come quietly.

In addition, there is air conditioning installed here, oh, that is, air conditioning, which is not hot in summer, and the dining environment can be comparable to those big hotels.

But in this way, he can only attract some ordinary guests, and he also has a good way to spend money on some high-end diners.

For example, he knows a lot of leaders, and sending vouchers to leaders' relatives and university teachers are all good ways to attract these high-quality guests to eat.

These methods are also popular in Hong Kong, but here in the capital, there are few restaurants that do this.

In other words, the taste of the food in this restaurant is not to be talked about, but the business methods are obviously very advanced, even in Hong Kong.

With Cao Zhiqiang's methods, at least for now, if he opens another restaurant and continues to use these methods, he will definitely continue to be popular.

On the contrary, we have no cooks, no familiar waiters, and all of a sudden there is no one.

No one is serving, how can this business be done, just holding a signboard? ”

"Understood, totally understood." He Yuzhu nodded, "It turns out that Cao Zhiqiang has this idea, he wants to make quick money, and then take people away, and then build a new restaurant, oops, this is not authentic." ”

"There's nothing that isn't authentic." Lou Xiao'e said, "His purpose is very clear, looking for me to invest, in fact, he wants to sell some shares to me, so as to raise capital, and then he can buy the surrounding houses, and then transform them into restaurants, expand operations, and increase profits."

If it doesn't work, then sell all the shares to me, give me the restaurant, and he gets the money, pulls people, and then goes to buy a bigger land to open a restaurant.

After all, the area of this restaurant is limited, the profitability is limited, and the current situation is estimated to be the upper limit, and it is difficult to make more money.

So, if he wants to continue growing, he has to find investors. ”

"I see." He Yuzhu touched his chin, "But as far as I know, Cao Zhiqiang is not short of money, he sells books and tapes, I heard that he is very profitable, he himself is a very popular singer, but he is relatively low-key and does not shout everywhere, so few people know that he is the singer Ah Qiang." ”

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly: "That's because Cao Zhiqiang has a big heart, and he has bigger projects to do, so he must be short of money in his hands."

The richer these people are, the more they lack money, because they want more things, and what they want is more expensive.

In addition, in my opinion, this Cao Zhiqiang probably doesn't want to continue to stay in the capital, he has hardened his wings and wants to go to Hong Kong to develop, so he found me, hoping to get my help. ”

"To Hong Kong?" He Yuzhu was stunned, "He's going to Hong Kong?" Really? ”

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly: "He hasn't said it yet, but I see what he means, it does mean this." ”

After a short pause, Lou Xiao'e continued: "And I think his main business is not to open restaurants, but to write books and songs, and he does have talent in this area.

For example, the book he wrote, "Jianghu Xing", this book is very good, it is also sold in Hong Kong, and the poetry in it is very well received.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang's pen name Qiangzi is now a little famous, if he can continue to maintain this level, even if he goes to Hong Kong to develop, there will be no problem.

But compared to this, he has more potential as a singer.

Do you know that singer Ah Qiang's "Blooming Life", although it is not yet available in Hong Kong, it is really popular here in the mainland.

In Shenzhen and Guangzhou, this song is not popular, but it is also very popular here in Beijing, and I see that the streets and alleys are singing. ”

"That's right." He Yuzhu nodded, "The song "Blooming Life" is really good, and the other songs in it are also very good, my two daughters like to listen to it, and I like it too."

At first, I didn't know that this was sung by Cao Zhiqiang, but later I learned that Ah Qiang was him.

When I heard this, I was shocked.

But thinking about it again, it doesn't seem strange that Cao Zhiqiang can suddenly become a great poet and a singer again.

In short, this Cao Zhiqiang didn't have much in the past, but since his mother died, it was like suddenly opening up, and he suddenly became strange.

It's like this restaurant, which he also wants to open and specially invited me to come.

At first, I thought he was going to ask me to be a cook, but who knew that he didn't want me to cook for the guests, but asked me to come here to teach my disciples.

I knew then that he had a big plan.

But how to say it, Cao Zhiqiang just asked me to teach the basic skills of the chef to those he brought, and didn't say that I should hand over the unique job, plus the salary he gave was high, and he gave me a dry share, I didn't hold back, so I came.

However, Lou Xiao'e, don't worry, if Cao Zhiqiang is really willing to sell the restaurant to you and take everyone away, then this restaurant will not fall.

Because I know all the dishes on the menu, and I want to make them myself, and I promise to do them better than those apprentices I teach.

If you don't feel like you're running out of staff, I can bring someone from my unit's cafeteria and ask for a few more.

Anyway, if you weren't a disciple, it would be almost enough to have those three or five people in the back kitchen.

As for the waiter, it's simpler, and now in the market, there are young people waiting to find a job, and you have to be willing to recruit workers, it's very easy.

In short, if you really want to buy this store, I promise not to leave, and I promise to do a good job of this store for you, so that you don't have to worry about it! ”

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly: "Let's talk about it...... By the way, I'm a little hungry now, so come and have dinner with me, and we'll talk while we eat. ”

"Okay, no problem." He Yuzhu said, "Why don't you eat for the sky?" I'm going to get you a box. At this point, there should still be a box here. ”

"Nope." Lou Xiao'e shook her head, "Let's go back to the hotel restaurant where I stay, and after eating, you can go up to rest and sleep." ”

Hearing this, He Yuzhu blinked: "This, is this appropriate." ”

"What's out of place." Lou Xiao'e smiled, "There are too many people here, and I don't like to eat in places where there are too many people." ”

He Yuzhu said: "That's it, listen to you, then you wait here, I'll call you a three-wheeler." ”

"Okay." Lou Xiao'e nodded with a smile.

He Yuzhu smiled, hurriedly ran out, and called Lou Xiao'e three rounds.

And looking at the back of He Yuzhu running away, Lou Xiao'e squinted her eyes and secretly screamed: "He Yuzhu! Wait, I'll snatch you this time! ”
