My Age of Investment

  Chapter 271 Contracted Canteen

  "The positioning of Chinese food in the United States has never been a high-end brand, and it has been mixed in the low-end.

what is the reason? "

  Xia Jingxing compared the chopsticks in his hand, “Habits, eating habits, eating habits.

  If you want to get out of Chinatown and cater to the tastes of foreigners, the dishes need to be changed. "

  Qiu Zhiyi nodded like a chicken pecked at the rice, "Brother Xia, you are too right.

  My cousin has run this restaurant for more than ten or twenty years, but his influence has never been able to reach Chinatown.

  Even foreigners who come to eat are usually tourists, and the main pictures are fresh.

  Old customers are still mainly residents and new immigrants in the neighbourhoods around Chinatown.

  My cousin tried to open restaurants in other areas of San Francisco before, but the business was very poor. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “That’s it, foreigners are not easy to earn money.

  Since you know that it is difficult to open a store outside, you never thought about what your own store would do? "

   "I thought about it, it's still in a Chinese community, such as the Chinese community in Los Angeles."

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "This is a way, but the competition should be fierce, right? There should be quite a few Chinese restaurants in those places."

   "Yes, we went to Los Angeles to inspect, many old Chinese restaurants, some of them have a longer history than Hongyun Restaurant.

  Our new store is in the past, it is very likely that the situation will not open. "

  Qiu Zhiyi said with a sullen face, "This is what I worry about the most.

  Maybe this is the only opportunity in this life. If it succeeds, it is the best. If it fails, you may have to work in my cousin's shop for a lifetime. "

  Zhang Chenguang did not interrupt, but quietly listened to the conversation between the two.

  "Why don't you open the store to Silicon Valley!"

  Xia Jingxing said with a smile: “In addition to Stanford has Chinese students, there are also many Chinese employees in Silicon Valley.

  I can even give you Facebook and YouTube cafeterias, and your Chinese restaurant will provide food delivery several times a week. "

  Qiu Zhiyi was a little moved, and smiled and asked, “This won’t cause you trouble? What if your company’s employees are not used to Chinese food?”

  Xia Jingxing looked at Qiu Zhiyi with a smile, and said nothing.

  In large Internet companies, the canteen is standard, and it has also become a benefit that attracts employees to join.

  General canteens have delicacies from various countries. All Chinese food is definitely not good. Facebook is an American company after all, and most of its employees are Americans.

  Chinese food can only be classified as a restaurant in the canteen.

   But this seemingly humble business can make a lot of money if it is done well, because Facebook may have tens of thousands of employees in the future.

  "It won’t be troublesome, and it’s not about eating Chinese food every day. Just order it a few times a week! If the staff prefers your taste, then order it every day.

  Don’t think that this is any kind of favor. If we don’t ask you to order food, we will also find other restaurants to cooperate.

  We now have a small number of employees, only more than 100 people.

  If the number of employees in the future reaches 500 or 1,000, we may lease an entire building or build our own headquarters.

  At that time, there will be a staff canteen, and your Chinese restaurant can contract part of it. "

  Qiu Zhiyi nodded. He understood. Currently, Facebook can give them not many orders. If the taste is good and the employees like it, there will be more orders.

   And if Facebook becomes bigger and stronger, it will build its own staff canteen like a big company, and it will also contract the Chinese food area to him.

  This is a great support for him.

Qiu Zhiyi smiled and said, "Brother Xia, I really don't know how to thank you."

  Xia Jingxing raised his hand to stop, “Don’t rush to thank me, let’s wait until the restaurant business is fully operational!

  Also, you have to rent a place in Silicon Valley, not too far away from Facebook.

If    is too far away, it will be very troublesome for you to deliver the food, and the food is easy to get cold. When the Chinese food is cold, the taste is not so good.

  The rent around our company is not cheap. It is recommended that you don’t rent too much area first, and if you don’t do dine-in, you can send meals to our company first.

  If the group of foreigners in our company say good things after eating, then you can rent a larger store and start dine-in.

  In this case, you can save a certain amount of rent, and you don’t need to hire too many employees in the initial stage, and you can also save a certain amount of manpower.

  When the taste of your dishes is completely transformed, and foreigners can adapt, you can expand the scale. "

  Qiu Zhiyi's eyes were full of brilliance. Brother Xia has used Facebook as a guinea pig. It has helped him a lot and reduced his risks.

   "Brother Xia, don't worry, if these foreigners don't think it tastes good, I won't charge you.

  I didn’t charge until they were satisfied with the taste. "

  Xia Jingxing waved his hand. He didn't bother to take advantage of this kind of advantage, but simply wanted to help the other party and realize the other party's dream of a restaurant.

  If Qiu Zhiyi can seize the opportunity and become a tycoon in the catering industry, it will be the other party’s luck and hard work, and he can’t help much.

  After the meal, Xia Jingxing stayed for another hour and provided a lot of suggestions to the other party.

  Qiu Zhiyi found a pen and a notebook, and wrote down all Xia Jingxing’s suggestions.

  Finally, Qiu Zhiyi sent Xia Jingxing to the outside of the restaurant, waved his hand, and turned around and walked into the restaurant with joy when he saw the car going away.

  Xia Jingxing drove Zhang Chenguang to the company and went through the entry formalities for the other party.

  Next, the other party will not directly start working for Facebook, but will receive paid training and enter a security consulting company for a month of training.

  Next, Xia Jingxing took Zhang Chenguang around the company's three-story office, ready to introduce him.

   Seeing the idol coming, the dog rushed up and enthusiastically shook hands with Zhang Chenguang.

  "Hello Mr. Zhang, I am a little dog. I admire your Chinese Kungfu very much. Can you teach me some time..."

  The little dog turned into a kung fu fan, pestering Zhang Chenguang to ask questions.

  Not only the little dogs, the company’s engineers and operations staff all gathered around, ready to take a look at the Chinese Kung Fu masters who defeated eight Xiaohei.

  The enthusiasm of colleagues made Zhang Chenguang a little unbearable, and kept answering their questions.

  In desperation, Zhang Chenguang had no choice but to turn his eyes asking for help to Xia Jingxing.

   "Let's all go to work. There will be more opportunities for everyone to work together in the future. Mr. Zhang has just arrived in the United States and needs a rest."

  Hearing Xia Jingxing's words, these employees finally left.

  After taking Zhang Chenguang around the office, Xia Jingxing took the other person to his office.

  The foreign girl made a cup of tea, took it into the office, handed it to Zhang Chenguang, and said in Chinese: "Insect basket cauldron, please Huo Cha!"

  Zhang Chenguang got up and thanked him again and again.

  He finally doesn’t doubt Xia Jingxing’s words now, and feels that the company’s atmosphere is really good and it is worth working on for a long time.
