Chapter 619 National Chain

"My dad? I guess life is better than death now."

Chen Xiaoxing murmured in a daze, not noticing Shen Dapeng's shrewd eyes, and when he was awakened by the ringtone of the phone, Shen Dapeng had already picked up the phone.

"Hello, brother Peng, I'm Li Zeyu."

Li Zeyu's smiling voice came over the phone.

"Big head? What's the matter?"

"I want to ask you something, you said... Can Xiaohetang Hot Pot become a national chain?"

Li Zeyu's voice was very small, hoarse as if squeezed out of his throat.

"Why did I suddenly think of this? Didn't Boss Tang from Xiaohetang say that he would be afraid of others smashing his signboard if he was a chain store? Why? He agreed now?"

"I'm right in front of the Xiaohetang Restaurant, and I was just about to ask him if he agrees. Our self-cooking hot pot fast food is very popular. Recently, more than one catering company has called and asked if we would like to be a national chain hot pot restaurant. , the formula of the hot pot base has already been asked for 500,000 yuan."

On the premise that the per capita salary in 2002 was only a few hundred yuan, if someone could call out a sky-high price of 500,000 yuan for a hot pot base recipe, this person could be regarded as discerning!

At least they have a good understanding of the relatively new business model of restaurant chains, or they have high expectations for the future of restaurant chains.

"Brother Peng? Why don't you talk? Do you think Xiaohetang Hot Pot can be a national chain?"

Li Zeyu's anxious voice came from the phone again.

"If you just talk about the taste, the bottom material of Xiaohetang is really good, but when we made self-cooking hot pot, Boss Tang had already refused to make a chain. He didn't agree. It's useless if you think too much. It's better to focus on the company. Regarding things, if you have time, go to the food factory to see more..."

"Okay, I see. Since Brother Peng said you can do it, then I will talk to Boss Tang. In case he agrees, let's not talk about it..."

"Hey, hello..."

Shen Dapeng was afraid that Li Zeyu's impatience would upset Boss Tang, so he wanted to give some instructions, but Li Zeyu hung up the phone hastily.

Li Zeyu entered the Xiaohetang Hot Pot Restaurant cheerfully, smelling the bursts of spicy aroma, his mood immediately improved, and he hurried straight to the bar.

At noon, when he was busy with lunch, Boss Tang was busy at the bar to settle the accounts, while the proprietress followed the guests at each table in the hall to order food. There were several waiters in the bakery back and forth to order and deliver the food.

"Boss Tang, business is going well!"

"Hey, Manager Li is here, why are you alone and your little girlfriend hasn't come back?"

Boss Tang only looked up, and continued to work on the calculator in his hand, clicking away.

"Ah, I'm not greedy, so I went back to the county to eat your mouthful."

Li Zeyu went to the bar to get a bottle of Yingying classmate as if he was at home, unscrewed it and drank half of the bottle.

"Okay, then go to the hall and find a place to sit, is everything the same?"

"As usual, as usual..."

Li Zeyu pretended to be something in his heart, seemed a little absent-minded, and responded casually.

After Boss Tang paid the bill, he looked up and found that Li Zeyu was still standing beside him, "Why don't you sit inside? There's room! I won't be busy for a while, I'll go have a drink with you."

"Yeah, I'll go first."

Li Zeyu just find someone to rely on

In the seat next to him, he raised his legs and looked at the guests at the next table who were chatting and talking nonsense.

The decoration of the Xiaohetang hot pot restaurant is not too high-end, and there are not many seats, but it is always almost full during the meal time, and even during holidays, the tables will be turned over two or three times at noon and night.

Calculated in a day, the gross profit is three to two thousand yuan. After deducting various costs, it is estimated that it can earn several hundred yuan. This is a good benefit in a small county or even a city.

"Zeyu, I won't be busy for a while, let your Uncle Tang come and drink with you."

The proprietress is very nice, she always has a down-to-earth smile on her face, even those who drink too much and go crazy, she can still handle it.

"I'll eat first,

I'll talk about it later. "

As soon as the hot pot was on the table, Li Zeyu couldn't wait to pour a spoonful of the old soup, and enjoyed it very much, "Yes, that's the taste, and you can't eat it in the provincial capital."

"Auntie, you are so busy every day, aren't you tired? The self-cooking hot pot made by our catering company is not bad. Uncle Tang holds 20% of the shares, and the dividend in a year is several times higher than that of your restaurant. Are you worried about this store?"

"If I were you, I would have brought money to find my son a long time ago. Hey, after all, Tang Yu's little object looks really good. If you don't help him take good care of him, the little girl will run away with others."

Seeing that Li Zeyu was not serious, the proprietress gave him a blank look, "I'm not too old or young with your aunt, believe it or not, I'll get you some rotten duck blood, and put it all in the pot for you?"

"Hey, I don't believe it. Your family doesn't have enough ingredients to sell, how can it be rotten?"

Li Zeyu stretched out his hand to rinse the mutton, looked at the proprietress, "Auntie, I'm not joking with you, it's been so hard, why do you keep doing it every day?"

"Bitch, if you don't work all day, you will get dizzy, your limbs will be weak, your arms and legs will be numb, or you will have muscle cramps, but you can eat well and sleep well if you are busy all day like this."

"Miss Boss, I think you and Old Tang have been working hard all your life."

A regular customer next to him chimed in and interrupted, "The two of you have earned enough pension money for yourself, and then you will earn money for your son to marry a wife. When your son marries a wife, do you still have to earn money for milk powder for your grandson?"

"Ha ha!!"

The proprietress and the few guests around were happy, but then they smiled helplessly.

Their generation is full of seniors and juniors, and they have caught up with the most ambiguous period of the country's economy, and also caught up with the last train of "raising children for old age". Just like what the customer said, they have worked hard all their lives , just to save some money for their children, it seems that they have to watch their children get married and have children to complete their merits and virtues.

"Hey, we just can't stand it. If we can casually get hundreds of millions of projects like Boss Liu of the food factory, who will stick to a hot pot restaurant from morning to night."

The landlady's greasy hand touched the even greasy apron, "In order to earn some money, I make myself dirty every day, and I look down on myself."

"Auntie, come and sit down."

Li Zeyu beckoned the proprietress to sit opposite, seeing that the people around him no longer paid attention to him, and then lowered his voice.

"Auntie, have you ever thought that you will not be so busy? With the taste of your home, you can open a few chain stores and hire a few capable people as store managers. At least it is easy to make some money in our province. .”

"A chain store? Do you mean franchised stores?"

The proprietress shook her head, "You, Uncle Tang, should have told you, right? A relative of my family opened a branch before, but it didn't do well, and almost smashed our signboard." ()
