Shen Chen pulled down her hand and held it, and hummed in a low voice, "I'm listening." ”

Lin Xi was satisfied and said, "I want to hire some people to plant." It's too hard for you to be alone, and the amount I need is really large, and you can't provide it alone. ”

Shen Chen was a little puzzled: "In addition to making hot pot ingredients and supplying Keyunlou, what else do you want to use it for?" ”

When Lin Xi was making hot pot ingredients, he had seen it on the side, and the amount of red pepper Lin Xi used every time was not much.

Now in the neighboring villages of this county, only Linxi has red peppers. Since Lin Xi didn't tell Zhao Dequan about her calculations, it means that she didn't talk to Zhao Dequan this time, and Zhao Dequan must not know how many red peppers they have stored in their house.

In the business negotiated with Zhao Dequan, the amount of red pepper she provided to Keyunlou would definitely not be very large.

Moreover, since it can be negotiated so quickly, it means that at least for half a year, Lin Xi is very sure that the supply will be continuous. Then the amount of supply she negotiated will not be much, it should be about a few dozen catties per month.

With such a small amount, and you want to start planting so quickly, it should be used for ......

Shen Chen said thoughtfully: "After you open a store, do you want to sell red peppers?" Earlier, you said that the hot pot ingredients are used for other purposes, and you also want to sell the hot pot ingredients in the store? The same way as selling to Keyunlou? ”

"That's right!"

Lin Xi was not surprised that Shen Chen would guess.

She explained: "Let's talk about this hot pot sauce first. Now many people in the county like hot pot, and if I open a shop to sell it at this time, those who like it will come and buy ingredients and go back to cook their own food. Anyway, with the finished ingredients, they just need to add some water to boil and put it in the dish. This is cheaper than eating at Keyunlou. ”

Shen Chen said: "So you asked Zhao Dequan to control the supply and price before, not only because it was troublesome to make hot pot ingredients, but also because you didn't want him to rely on you and form a constraint on you, and more importantly, to borrow Keyunlou to let more people know." This way, when you open your store, you have a basic foot traffic. You don't have to go through the hassle to tell each other, and many people will know about your store. ”

In modern terms, Keyunlou is a living signboard.

People will think that even the popular Keyunlou is buying hot pot ingredients from her, so if they want to eat it, can't they just go to her and buy it? Anyway, I can't line up in Keyun Building.

At this time, if you find that it costs less to buy and eat from her, and you spend less money, then people will be more impressed by her shop, remember her, and come back next time.

To some extent, this is equivalent to the low-price competition used by Fu Lai Estate.

Good quality and low price have always been the favorite of the people.

Lin Xi said: "Therefore, my opening of the store is the result of careful consideration. Before I did it, I had already done a good job of foreshadowing it in all aspects. ”

Shen Chen looked at her and reminded: "Zhao Dequan may be unhappy in his heart, so ...... your cooperation"

"I know." Lin Xi said, "The business I did with Zhao Dequan at the beginning had a conflict of interest. But this is only the result of a short period of time. ”

"It was because I expected this that I asked Zhao Dequan to engage in hunger marketing...... It's that scarcity is expensive. When the time comes, the guests he faces are dignitaries, while the guests I face are ordinary people. Naturally, there was no conflict of interest between me and him. ”

Sometimes I have to admit that the difference between the sources of customers is really big.

A noble person may spend hundreds or thousands of taels on hot pot, and a hundred ordinary guests together may not be able to make such a profit.

The nobles also have the pride of the status class, and most of them disdain to buy the same as the common people.

is because she and Zhao Dequan really don't have a long-term conflict.

Zhao Dequan is a smart man and knows how to choose.

Shen Chen bowed: "I can rest assured if you have a number, I will find a good person and a place to plant red peppers as soon as possible." ”

Lin Xi looked at him with bright eyes: "Then do you know how I bought red peppers?" ”

Shen Chen shook his head.

Lin Xi got up and walked to the board, pointed to the dishes on it and asked, "Is the food I made delicious?" ”

Shen Chen nodded immediately.

Lin Xi laughed, "So, I'm going to sell semi-finished products." ”

Shen Chen didn't understand too much, "Semi-finished product? ”

Lin Xi explained: "For example, if I want to make a dish, I have prepared the dishes I need, and I have prepared the ingredients for stir-frying, but I haven't started stir-frying yet, which is called a semi-finished dish." ”

"In the past few days, I have been walking around the county, not only inquiring about the news of various stores, but also chatting with many people, and found that most of their cooking at home is very simple. And many people are tired of making money, and after returning home after a tired day, they don't have much mental strength to make delicious dishes, so they deal with things hastily. ”

Shen Chen was thorough: "So you want to sell this kind of ...... 'semi-finished product', let them go home and find a job, and pour it directly into the pot and simply fry it to eat, which is delicious and convenient." ”

Lin Xi smiled and groaned, "That's right. Through the guests of Keyunlou, I found that many people in the county like to eat spicy guesses, and the acceptance is very high. So I only need to sell semi-finished spicy dishes, and of course, red peppers also have to be sold. ”

"Of course, it's more than that."

"When I inquired about the store, I also found that the county is actually very tolerant, and there are many vendors from the north and south. However, things from other places are not very common here. Whoever appears is very popular. So, I also want to sell some rare items, things that are commonly used at home......"

Counting and counting, Lin Xi suddenly had a clear mind.

Isn't that what she envisioned as a modern department store?!

Lin Xi said: "It's a department store!" There are all kinds of things, food, drink, use, etc. ”

When she said this, her eyebrows fluttered, and her brilliance shone brightly, vividly and vividly.

Shen Chen looked at her, his gaze gradually softened, and said, "If you want to do it, just do it." It's just, it sounds like it's going to be tiring, you need to hire some guys to help, I'll help you find a reliable one? ”

"No, I've already found one! In the beginning, try to do it first, and you don't need to sell too much and too much, so there are not many people needed at this time. "Lin Xi Road.

Shen Chen suddenly guessed who she was talking about: "Zhang Ze? ”

He thought about it and said, "Uncle Zhang, it's unlikely that they will agree." You can try. ”

Lin Xi said with a smile: "Zhang Ze, this kid is a talent, his mind is very flexible, and he can speak, so he is suitable for receiving all kinds of guests." If he is willing, and Aunt Zhang is also willing, I will use him first; If Aunt Zhang and they don't want to, I'll find someone else at that time." ”

"Okay, that's all it takes, you go wash the vegetables, I have to hurry up and cook." Lam Creek Road.

Shen Chen hummed, got up and took the cabbage that Lin Xi had chopped, and picked a few eggplants and radishes out.
