"Master, what do you call it?"

"My surname is Wu, and my single name is a Thai character."

"Master Wu, this year's birthday?"

"After this year, I will be exactly 60 years old."

"Judging from his appearance alone, Master Wu doesn't look like a person in his sixtieth year."

……

Under Tang Yuan's wishes, the middle-aged man invited his father out of the kitchen, the old man was wearing a plain white apron, his hair was half gray, he looked very kind, and very talkative, after coming to the table and sitting down, he chatted with Tang Yuan and the two.

When he heard that Tang Yuan was full of praise for his cooking skills, thinking that his cooking skills were better than those Michelin-starred restaurant chefs, the whole person was even more smiling, and his good impression of Tang Yuan was even greater.

"Master Wu, your small shop is not large, but the business is quite good." Tang Yuan chatted with Wu Tai and his son for a while, and when they became a little familiar with each other, he began to lead the topic to the main thing: "You have been here for so many years, haven't you thought about changing to a bigger store?" ”

Facing Tang Yuan's inquiry, Wu Tai shook his head and replied with a smile: "Little brother, I heard that your accent should be from the mainland, you may not know anything about the situation in Hong Kong City, it's not that we don't want to replace a bigger storefront, but the cost of replacing a larger store is too high." ”

"We have actually considered it before, but we have carefully calculated that if we replace a store that is twice as large as the current store, the rent we bear every month will increase by more than three times, and with the expansion of the store, our father and son alone will definitely not be busy, which is bound to recruit workers, and the labor cost will be further expanded."

"Considering many factors, we carefully calculated, after expanding the store, we may not necessarily earn as much as we do now, and it also greatly increases the risk, and the final result is likely to be thankless."

After being busy all day, Wu Tai rarely took a break, and coupled with Tang Yuan's charter fee today, it was more than what they earned in a busy week on weekdays, so that he was in a very good mood, and opened the conversation as he spoke.

Tang Yuan bowed slightly, he knew that what Wu Tai said was true, because what Wu Tai said just now was a common problem in many family workshop-style businesses.

The smaller the scale, the more prosperous the business.

When the scale is large, it quickly becomes unpopular.

There are countless situations like this in real life, and it is not easy for Wu Tai and them to always keep a clear head and work hard with their original intentions.

"Master Wu, take the liberty of asking."

"How much money can you earn after a year of hard work?"

Tang Yuan groaned and asked Wu Tai again.

"This ......"

When Wu Tai's son Wu Liang heard this, he didn't expect Tang Yuan to suddenly ask such a private question, and he became a little hesitant for a while.

"If people are interested, you can tell the truth." Wu Tai glanced at his son, and said a little angrily: "Do you think people can take a fancy to our three melons and two dates?" It's still hidden. ”

"Ahem......"

"It seems to be."

Wu Liang coughed lightly twice, his face was a little embarrassed, looking at Tang Yuan's burly and hardcover black-clothed bodyguard and the many luxury cars parked outside the store, he felt that his concerns were indeed a little redundant, so he laughed twice and replied to Tang Yuan: "We remove the rent and cost every year, when the year is good, there can be almost one million per year, and when the year is not good, it is about 800,000 per year." ”

When Tang Yuan heard Wu Liang's answer, he didn't show any surprise on his face, in his opinion, the number reported by Wu Liang was not only not much, but a little less.

The annual profit is one million, which sounds like a lot, but you must know that behind this profit, the labor force paid is Wu Liang's family of three, that is to say, the average annual salary of each person is only more than 300,000, and according to the latest survey report released in 2018, the median income of residents in Hong Kong City is 15,000 yuan, and the average salary is 20,000 yuan.

On average, Wu Liang's family's income is just a little higher than the average salary of Hong Kong City residents, which is indeed not very high compared to the hard work they have paid.

"Hey......"

"The housing prices in Hong Kong City are too high, and I am a little ashamed to say that such a small shop, starting from my father's generation, has been operated for nearly 100 years by three generations of grandparents, and it is still impossible to buy this small shop, and half of the hard-earned money earned every year is earned by the landlord."

Speaking of this, Wu Tai took over and let out a helpless sigh, but this is the current situation of the port city, as a native of Hong Kong, they have no other way out than to continue to maintain the status quo.

With Wu Tai's sigh, the entire store fell into a brief silence.

"Master Wu, are you interested in living in a different environment?"

Suddenly, Tang Yuan broke the quiet atmosphere and asked Wu Tai.

"A change of scenery?"

Wu Tai was a little confused, so he was confused by Tang Yuan.

Seeing this, Tang Yuan smiled slightly: "I mean, is Master Wu interested in coming to Zhonghai to be my private chef?" The annual salary is 2 million. ”

After Tang Yuan expressed his intentions, not only Wu Tai and his son were stunned on the spot, but even Wen Muxue, who was sitting opposite Tang Yuan, was also stunned.

After a full moment, Wu Tai and his son came to their senses.

Private chef?

Annual salary of 2 million?

Wu Tai and his son glanced at each other, and they were suddenly a little moved, you must know that they work tirelessly every year for a whole year, and they can only earn 1 million in a good year, and the young man in front of him doubled their annual profits when he opened his mouth.

But the heart is moving, Wu Tai hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, if the other party lives in Hong Kong City, then he doesn't say a word now, and directly agrees, but the other party lives in Zhonghai, he grew up in Hong Kong City since he was a child, and he has never left Hong Kong City in his life, and now let him give up everything here to go to Zhonghai, which is really a bit difficult.

Wu Tai shook his head, and just when he was about to open his mouth to refuse, he saw Tang Yuan raise his hand and signal him to be restless, and then Tang Yuan spoke again and said, "Master Wu, don't be busy refusing first, after you have listened to all the conditions I offered, it will not be too late for you to refuse." ”

When Wu Tai heard this, the words of rejection that had already reached his lips were swallowed into his stomach again.

"Master Wu, if you are willing to come to Zhonghai to be my private chef, I will spend 20 million yuan to open a restaurant for you on the most prosperous Bund in Zhonghai, with you or your son as the manager, and I will also give you 49% of the dry shares of this restaurant, and your annual salary will be composed of 2 million fixed salary and restaurant dividends."

"In addition, as long as you can always maintain your cooking skills as they are today, after you have worked for me for five years, I will completely transfer 49% of the real shares of the restaurant to you, so that you can become a veritable major shareholder."

"How?"

"Master Wu, what do you think of this condition?"

After Tang Yuan finished speaking, he took a sip of the Gangcheng milk tea in his hand, and then looked at Wu Tai and his son with a smile on his face, waiting for the answers of the two......
