Chapter 391 I am a farmer

The catering industry is indeed a very basic industry, but high-end catering is not so easy to do.

Many high-end restaurants look hot, but the real profits they can get are actually not as good as street food stalls.

There are many reasons, the main reason is that the rent and staff wages are too high, and then the guests just want to be fresh, and they want to be cheap for activities. Finally, under the competition of the peers, it will not work after a while.

Therefore, Ding Yuan feels that this farmhouse is not suitable for making money, it is more like a place for a rich young master to have fun.

There are many ways to make money, there is no need to spend a lot of money to do this thing.

The cost of this farmhouse is too high, not to mention the basic construction of bamboo buildings and bamboo houses.These things are mainly a one-time investment in the early stage, and the cost of maintenance in the later stage is not much higher.

But they have to raise their own chickens, pigs, and even grow bamboo by themselves, or they have to raise other ducks, geese, fish...

Looking at the ingredients on the table, they are all rare wild vegetables that are not commonly seen. Except for a cold fungus, Ding Yuan can hardly recognize the other wild vegetables.

I know the scrambled eggs with fresh bamboo shoots, and there is one that looks a bit like tofu and bean curd. I don’t know what the ingredients are.

The price of these things is hard to say, but if they are all made in this "self-reliance" style, the cost will be very high.

Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing. This was indeed a way to reduce costs in the past.

But now the productivity of society has developed to a certain level, and the cost of large-scale production has become terribly low.

The price of many things on the market is even lower than the cost of making them yourself.

In this era, we have to rely on our own hands and manual production, so we can only take the high-quality route.

Naturally, this farmhouse is taking the high-quality route, and the cost is ridiculously high, so the price will definitely be ridiculously high.

It's not that there are such high-spending customers, but there are not many, and they don't maintain a stable consumption every day.

After all, this is just a restaurant, no matter how delicious it is, it is impossible to eat it every day.

Expecting to take the high-end catering route is not just about getting the food right.

Therefore, Ding Yuan is very skeptical about the profitability of this farmhouse.

Liu Aiguo chuckled: "Whether making money or not is actually not the point. Even if this place is going to lose money, it will only lose a few million a year at most. It's not a big deal."

"Oh?"

Ding Yuan was a little curious, he originally wanted to have an in-depth discussion with Liu Aiguo about his management methods, but Liu Aiguo changed the topic.

"What's your business, Brother Ding?"

"Me? I'm mainly... well, just a farmer."

Ding Yuan feels that farming is the most appropriate way to describe himself.

Of course Liu Aiguo didn't believe it, even if Ding Yuan was really a farmer, he was definitely not an ordinary farmer.

Otherwise, Qian Duoduo would not ask them to discuss business.

After all, he is also the young master of the Splendid Group. Although he is a bit out of business, he is not the kind of ordinary little local tyrant who can negotiate business with him.

In fact, Liu Aiguo almost ignored Ding Yuan, because Qian Duoduo's introduction to Ding Yuan was really ambiguous.

Qian Duoduo only said that Ding Yuan is Zhao Tingting's man. This definition of identity will only make people think that Ding Yuan is a "husband-in-law" or something like that.

Although the son-in-laws in recent years have been quite cruel, they are only examples that appeared in novels, and there have never been any outstanding son-in-laws in reality.

For example, Ren Hanzi, the son-in-law of the Bangxing Group, was just a small security guard at first, but in the end, Li Meizi, a wealthy daughter, fell in love with the group and joined the group.

As a result, this waste of mud couldn't support the wall, and the son-in-law's face was completely disgraced, and he didn't play any tricks of counterattack.

Liu Aiguo would not pay attention to a person whose main identity is a son-in-law.

But it was different for Qian Duoduo to introduce Ding Yuan to him alone. He absolutely did not believe that Ding Yuan was a farmer. Even a farmer who contracted tens of thousands of acres of farmland would not have any cooperation with him.

He smiled lightly, and looked at Qian Duoduo again, wanting to hear what Qian Duoduo had to say, what kind of cooperation opportunities he and Ding Yuan could have.

Of course, Qian Duoduo knew about Ding Yuan. When the Zhao family told the Qian family about finding ginseng yesterday, they had already mentioned Ding Yuan.

Afterwards, the Qian family naturally learned about Ding Yuan's situation by the way.

Qian Duoduo smiled lightly at Liu Aiguo: "Have you heard of Longyuan canned food?"

"Longyuan canned food?"

Liu Aiguo suddenly realized: "And the golden potatoes... are all Brother Ding's property?"

Ding Yuan smiled: "Yes, I just planted something myself."

"Not bad."

Liu Aiguo immediately became excited: "Haha, with such a relationship with Miss Duoduo, I will definitely have my share of the golden potatoes. Let's talk about a few hundred tons first."

"You're kidding me."

Ding Yuan smiled wryly and said: "Where do I get so many potatoes, I am not much bigger than your farmhouse. Besides, you are a farmhouse, why do you need so many potatoes?"

Liu Aiguo said anxiously: "I don't care about this farmhouse, but I already have several chain hotels in my family, and I don't have any hard goods in hand, so I really lack competitiveness."

If a hotel wants to compete for competitiveness, it can be divided into two aspects: software and hardware. Software is the service, and hardware is the facility.

Today, the competition in this area has almost reached the extreme, all business ideas are no longer fresh, and no one can come up with fresher means.

At least temporarily.

After thinking about it, Liu Aiguo felt that he could start with the hotel restaurant.

Catering is a place to compete for strength. It is a good idea to fight for a restaurant when you can no longer compete in other aspects.

After all, restaurants in high-end hotels have never been a place to be proud of.

Many people even think that the food in high-end hotels is terrible, and it is not as good as the food stalls on the roadside.

Therefore, Liu Aiguo set up such a farmhouse again to find out the reality of the catering industry.

This farmhouse has indeed achieved the ultimate in food, and he has no way to do better.

But this extreme cost is a bit high and not fully applicable to hotels.

"I think good food must use good ingredients. Good ingredients are the foundation of all food. Without good ingredients, no matter how good a chef is, he can't make good food."

Liu Aiguo looked eagerly: "You seem to have a lot of good things there, I heard that you also have watermelons and tomatoes..."

Ding Yuan said embarrassingly: "It's okay, it's okay, just a few things, it's not good... I'm just a farmer."

"It's nice to have these few things."

Liu Aiguo said happily: "Who doesn't rely on those few flagship products to make a living."
