Return To 1998

Tianyuan Hotel is where Xu Tongdao and Zheng Qing stayed today, and it was also a hotel that Xu Tongdao found on the Internet before he came.

Nothing special about this hotel.

The reason why he found such a hotel on the Internet was mainly because he found the hotel on the map on the Internet, which was very close to a food street in Wudu.

As one of the municipalities directly under the Central Government, Wudu has more than one food street.

The Tianyuan Hotel he chose happened to be not far from one of the food streets.

On this food street, there are two hot pot restaurants with good reputation.

As for... a person who has never been to Wudu in his past and present life, how did he know that there are two good hot pot restaurants in this food street?

The answer is simple - he learned it all from the Internet.

As the owner of 8 Internet cafes under his name, it may be inconvenient for Xu Tongdao to do other things.

Anyway, before he came to Wudu this time, he collected a lot of information and information related to this trip on the Internet.

Among them, some of the key information is - what time-honored and delicious hot pot restaurants are there in Wudu.

Speaking of this issue, I have to thank the netizens who are really enthusiastic these days.

Xu Tongdao posted a few inquiries on several forums, which were free of charge. As a result, many enthusiastic netizens replied to him.

So, Xu, who had never been to Wudu, knew the names of dozens of hot pot restaurants in Wudu.

They are all hot pot restaurants that enthusiastic netizens think tastes good.

Xu Tongdao planned to come over this time, taste all these dozens of hot pot restaurants, and then look for opportunities to buy the technology of several of them.

Yes!

This time, he did not intend to only buy the technology of one of them, but the technology of several!

What he envisaged is: to draw on the strengths of many families, absorb the strengths of several hot pot restaurant technologies, and summarize a hot pot restaurant technology that belongs to his Xu Tongdao.

If it weren't for the fact that his current funds are not sufficient,

He even wanted to acquire more than ten hot pot technologies.

After getting the technical recipes of these hot pot restaurants, after going back, based on these recipes, a little bit of experimentation, a little bit of summary and generalization, a good hot pot recipe can naturally be summed up.

In this regard, he is confident.

If he can really buy the recipes of several hot pot restaurants, his method is really feasible.

Like car tech!

If there is a domestic car company that can buy the core technologies of several foreign cars, come back and summarize it by yourself, is it difficult to come up with a set of car technologies that you can use?

Xu Tongdao thinks it is not difficult.

Moreover, he feels that he is now buying hot pot technology in Wudu, which has a great advantage.

——That is, limited by the development of the times and the accumulation of capital, at present, there are very few hot pot restaurants in Wudu that have embarked on a national chain model.

Those national chain hot pot restaurants in his memory, at present...he basically hasn't seen them in Mizuno City.

This is a big plus for him to buy hot pot technology this time in Wudu!

Taking advantage of the fact that most of the hot pot restaurants here are still small, their strength is not strong enough, and they have no ambitions, buying their secret recipe is definitely a possibility of success.

for example!

Haidilao before his rebirth had a market value of HK$300 to 400 billion. Haidilao with such a high market value, if you want to buy its core technology, how much do you think it will cost to buy it? In other words, is Haidilao likely to sell its core technology?

But what if Haidilao was just born?

Or when it has been in existence for a few years, but it is still just a small store, and it has not yet expanded or has the strength to expand?

At that time, if you took money to buy its core technology, was it possible to buy it?

Another example!

QQ, it is said that its owner wanted to sell it for 1 million, but could not find a buyer. Out of frustration, its owner could only grit his teeth and operate it himself, and continued to get this money-losing goods in his hands. ... It is beyond everyone's expectations, and it is expanding more and more, and after more than ten years, it has expanded into a penguin empire.

It has swelled into a penguin empire, will its owner still sell it?

Can anyone else afford it?

There are too many similar examples.

It can only be said that any behemoth, before it expands, is very small and its value is not high. If you have money, you may buy it in your own hands.

...

Settled down at Tian Yuan Hotel.

At noon that day, Xu Tongdao and Zheng Qing went to a nearby food street together and found a hot pot restaurant named Liu Yishou.

When they entered the door, they saw that the business in the store...was not bad or bad, and the attendance rate was about 40 to 50%.

Considering that it is noon now, the business of the hot pot restaurant may not be better until the evening, so the attendance rate of 40 to 50% at noon should be not bad.

The store is not big.

Not many diners.

Xu Tongdao and Zheng Qing found a corner table, ordered a mandarin duck pot, and ordered some hot dishes. While waiting for the bottom of the pot and the hot dishes to be served, they were both observing the situation in the store.

Tongdao Xu noticed that the store was quite new, it seemed that it only opened this year.

He carefully recalled the information he had read on the Internet, and remembered that the store seemed to have only opened this year, but an enthusiastic netizen said that the taste of this store was good.

I hope this enthusiastic netizen is not the owner of the store, or the owner's relatives and friends.

Otherwise, their hot pot money may be wasted.

Xiaodao, look! Those people didn't order mandarin duck pot, just the two of us ordered mandarin duck pot. Hey, you said, when our mandarin duck pot came to the table, did everyone here know that we are not locals?

Zheng Qing suddenly spoke, attracting Xu Tongdao's attention.

Tongdao Xu looked at him, and then looked at the hot pot soup bases on the tables of the diners in the hall, and found that, as Zheng Qing said, all of them were red soup bases. All the peppers are densely packed. In terms of visual effects, it is not so much a pot of tumbling soup, but a pot of bell peppers.

It's too scary to ride a horse!

Are the people here here to eat hot pot? Or eat hot peppers under the guise of eating hot pot?

Tongdao Xu swallowed unconsciously.

The fine sweat on the forehead immediately came out, and at the same time there was a feeling of tingling in the scalp.

Although before he came to Wudu, he knew that people here can generally eat spicy food, and it is the kind that can eat spicy food very well.

However, his imagination was limited after all, and he could never have imagined that the red peppers that were placed by the roots when they were cooking on the waterfowl side were actually placed by the pots here.

The surface of a pot of hot pot soup is actually full of red peppers. After these people eat a hot pot, won't they get acne tomorrow? Don't chrysanthemums breathe fire?

How did they eat spicy food since they were young and still be healthy?

At this moment, Xu Tongdao decided that he must stay away from hot girls in this life, at least not marry hot girls, he was afraid.
