Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant

After staying in the hotel for four days, Mingqian and Youjun flew back to City X on the morning of the fifth day. Although Mingqian was still a long time away from dying, fortunately, Youjun had supernatural powers and made two blindfolded guests They couldn't recognize his face.

Ming Qian thinks that traveling once or twice a year, each time no longer than five days, is enough.

Traveling is easy, but he always feels that something is missing.

When I visit the store, I want to travel, and when I travel, I want to go back to the store.

Maybe it’s not because he is obsessed with making money, but because there are more people in the store, which is more interesting, and he and Youjun are the only two people traveling. Of course, the world of two people is happy, but they can’t do more when they stay together, and they hug and kiss. Anything you can do at home.

What's more, he needs to study hard after he goes back.

Besides, it is not enough for him to study alone, You Jun has to study together.

When the two of them sat in front of the computer to study together, Ming Qian felt a little suffocated when he thought about that scene.

But there is no way, no matter how shy the two little whites are, they have to bite the bullet and learn, otherwise it will be the two of them who will suffer, and no one else can help.

Ming's father and Ming's mother stayed in the hotel, and they had no place to play when they went back, and Mingqian was not short of money now, so he could afford his parents to travel around the world, even if Ming's father and mother wanted to take a trip around the world, Mingqian I can afford that money too.

Now he doesn't worry about money at all. After deducting the rent and other expenses in the store every month, he can get a net profit of more than 100 million yuan. He hasn't figured out what to do with the money, and put it there to eat. Interest seems to be a bit of a loss, but when it comes to investing, Ming Qian has no experience, so he is afraid that he will have to "pay tuition" first.

Sitting on the plane, Ming Qian was still talking about investment with You Jun: "I'm going to ask Mr. Yang, don't they keep cash flow? Even if the loss is very limited."

Although Mr. Yang works in an industry that seems to be gambling, in fact, companies like them don’t lose much. They usually buy raw materials first, and although Ming materials are also gambling, Mr. Yang and the others are all Professionals, when they buy a stone, they must conduct an all-round assessment, and make sure that even if the loss is within the tolerance range, they will start.

The real gambler is the full covering material, fine sand leather is good, but the fog layer is thick, and you can’t see anything when you turn on the light. It all depends on experience and luck, and people often fall on it.

It is said that in the craziest years of stone gambling, countless ignorant bosses invested huge sums of money, and finally lost all their family fortunes.

On the contrary, a company like Mr. Yang who only earns a processing fee has survived steadily. It is impossible to get rich overnight, but slowly accumulating, he has a net worth of tens of millions.

It’s just that Mingqian also heard from Mr. Yang that he said he was worth tens of millions, but many of them were placed on stones, and the cash flow was often not in hand. They rarely got bank loans for this kind of business, but earned this money. The pen, the money has flowed back, and then take it to invest in another sum.

Because the company is small, and it is not the kind of jewelry company that buys raw materials and then processes and sells them through one line.

Mr. Yang also doesn't dare to let friends and relatives invest, but if business partners are too deeply involved with feelings, it will be all nonsense.

Maybe it was because he knew that Mingqian had money now, and Mr. Yang hinted at it a few times, but at that time Mingqian didn't respond because he still needed time to think about it.

In addition to playing for the past few days, he has been thinking about this matter and thinks it is still feasible.

Mr. Yang has cash flow, which can guarantee limited losses. Moreover, Mr. Yang’s company has been in operation for more than ten years. It is not big or small, and the employees are all old employees. It has been booming, with prices rising year by year.

Ming Qian: "I'm going to have a talk with Brother Yang when I go back this time. It would be best if we can talk about it. I didn't expect much in the first three years. As long as I can get a fixed share every year, I can recover my money within five years."

"However, more money still needs to be deposited in the bank. I'm going to discuss the shops on the left and right sides of the second floor."

If you buy it, Ming Qian still can't afford it.

The rent is close to 100 million a year, and the selling price must be even more terrifying. Although the shops in this area have prices but no market recently, as long as someone comes to inquire about the price, the price quoted is sky-high.

Although the bosses may not be able to make much money by opening their own shops, they all agree that these shops are golden chickens that lay eggs, and they are ready to make a fortune overnight by selling the shops at any time, and rank among the local wealth list.

But the buyer is not a fool. If such a high cost is used to open a store, it may not be possible to make much money. When will the cost be paid back?

If the business of their own shop is not good, and they rent it out, when will the rent allow them to pay back the money they bought for the shop?

So the price is there, but there is no market and no one buys it.

"I still need money." Ming Qian sighed, "I still have to find a way to buy these shops now, otherwise I will be dumbfounded when the boss raises the rent or doesn't rent it."

This money is not a small amount of money for sending parents out on a trip. If you want to take down all the two stores except your own shop, you need to prepare at least tens of millions.

With such a large amount of money, Ming Qian used to think that he would never be able to earn it in his entire life.

Although I feel pressured now, it no longer feels impossible.

After the plane landed, Ming Qian and You Jun took a taxi back home.

Opening the door of the house, as soon as he walked in, Ming Qian felt at ease.

Only when you stay in a place that you are familiar with and feel safe, can you truly relax.

After Ming Qian changed his slippers, he went to the kitchen to boil water, made tea for himself and Youjun, and then brought it to the coffee table in the living room, and sat on the sofa with Youjun to rest.

"If I really live as long as you in the future, won't I be able to stay in one place for a long time?"

Ming Qian remembers that he used to read novels, the male protagonist is immortal, he always wanted to have a home, but he could never get it, because he would always watch his wife die, and he would never have his own children, and because of his face, he He can't stay in one place for a long time, no matter how much he has feelings for that place.

Youjun glanced at Mingqian, and seemed to think that Mingqian was a bit stupid: "There are tricks."

Ming Qian: "...Oh."

After resting at home for two hours, Youjun also went to the kitchen to cook two bowls of noodles.

Ming Qian didn't even know when You Jun learned to cook. You Jun also cooked Ming Qian's breakfast before, but Ming Qian was so patronizing and moved at that time that he didn't know when You Jun learned how to cook.

During the meal, Ming Qian took out two bottles of orange juice from the refrigerator. He looked at the orange juice and suddenly said, "We can make our own freshly squeezed drinks!"

He patted his forehead.

The profit of freshly squeezed juice is not low. Although it is not as profitable as milk tea, the freshly squeezed juice is healthy and will not affect the reputation of the store. What's more, the fruits grown by irrigation are not like those consumed by Yiyi's domestic cows and pigs. so fast.

Even if you can eat any fruit in the self-service area of ​​the hot pot restaurant, you can only get a few free fruits, and customers don't come here specifically to eat fruits. On average, one person can't even eat three yuan of fruit.

Switching to fruit juice is different, the selling price is high, the profit is high, and it can make more money for Guan Guan.

In addition to fruit juice, milk tea can also be made, but it is not blended milk tea, but the tea leaves are boiled with fresh milk, and then some sugar is added. The taste should not be much worse than the blended milk tea.

And these things are also easy to get. Ever since Chen Yan's own roasted tea was welcomed by the guests, Chen Yan went home to roast tea as soon as he was on vacation. Now he has accumulated a lot of tea, and there are different teas, black tea and green tea.

At that time, black tea is used to make milk tea.

Small ingredients are even simpler. Pearls are made directly from tapioca flour, coconuts can be bought ready-made, red beans are not troublesome, and pudding is the same.

These things are small cost big profit.

Otherwise, why can milk tea shops occupy the streets and alleys so quickly?Obviously the market is almost saturated, but there are still so many new milk tea chain brands coming out every year?

People love to drink, businesses can make money, and the market is of course thriving.

Although Ming Qian didn't plan to become fat all at once, these things that don't require too much manpower and material resources can still be added.

It’s best to let customers know that their milk tea is freshly brewed. It’s not too much to sell a cup of milk tea for 20 to [-] yuan, right?

The milk tea outside is basically at this price now, and there are also cheap ones, but if his real milk tea is sold at a low price, he himself will not be able to accept it.

Staple food doesn't make much money, and these customers can still increase the selling price appropriately for what they choose not to order.

Ming Qian wanted to make it when he thought about it, and immediately sent a message to Yiyi after eating the noodles, asking her if there was any fresh milk sold in her hometown.

Yiyi replied quickly, saying that she has a relative who owns a cattle farm, and the fresh milk she produces is sold to the surrounding residents, and the price is not expensive, and it does not mix with water.

Mingqian then sent a message to Yiyi, asking her to bring back some fresh milk when she buys goods tomorrow, to try the taste of the boiled milk first, and if it is good, promote it to the customers and see the customer's feedback.

There are also fruit tea, fruit soda, these can keep up.

Ming Qian: "Let's go, let's go to the store now."

After Ming Qian finished eating, he hurriedly put away the bowls and chopsticks, and ran to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Now he and You Jun are the one who cooks at home, and the other one washes the dishes.

Ming Qian doesn't let You Jun play tricks on the cleanliness of the house - the main reason is that he bought a sweeping robot. If You Jun can clean the house with just one lift of his hand, then Ming Qian won't be able to enjoy modern technology.

After washing the pots and bowls, Ming Qian went out with You Jun.

It was exactly five twenty in the afternoon.

Before they reached the store, they saw a mighty queue.

Because of the blindfold, no one recognized them. Mingqian had never lined up for his own hotpot restaurant, and when he became interested, he took Youjun's hand to get a number.

Zhu didn't recognize them either, after all, it was You Jun's blindfold, even Chen Yan and Sui Ru, who were the most cultivated in the store, would definitely not be able to see them.

Mingqian and Youjun were at the end of the crowd, and they also went to buy two ice creams. Although it was winter, the ice cream business seemed to last from spring to winter, and there were so many people queuing up that they couldn't feel it in the crowd. cold.

"It's too difficult to line up. If it weren't for my fame, I wouldn't have queued for such a long time." Someone in front complained.

But after he complained, some people who came to eat said: "As long as you eat, you must feel that the queue is worth it."

"When I first came here, I saw such a long queue and didn't want to eat. Fortunately, my friend stopped me. Really, I will never regret it."

"The service is also good."

"Do you know that there is a very strange thing. My friend said that when he came over with a friend, his friend went to the sink to get a disposable razor. He wanted to take it out when he traveled in the future, but when he went out , the razor is gone."

"At first I thought it was dropped, but then I found out that no one could get the things out of the sink."

"So amazing? I don't believe it."

"Then why don't you believe it? I feel that if you take something that doesn't belong to you, you will definitely lose it. What doesn't belong to you doesn't belong to you."

"Still amazing."

"And now there are people watching over the sink, you can't take it out even if you want to."

"I don't know what those people who want to take advantage of this kind of advantage think. Small samples are not expensive, and they can't be used many times. If you really want to use them, you can buy formal clothes. Staring at these small advantages every day, it's absolutely amazing. "

"When the time comes, if the store is upset, they will collect all those things, and everyone will be happy if they don't want to use them."

"However, the traffic in the store is so large, so the store owner must be able to think of a solution, right? And I think those things are for emergency use. The store owner can think of it because he is considerate."

Ming Qian listened to the guests discussing the wash basin in the store, only to realize that Chen Yan had already prepared everything he said.

As a boss, of course he likes employees like Chen Yan. No matter what the boss thinks, he can quickly accept it and strictly implement it.

Employees like this don't come across all the time.

Ming Qian whispered to You Jun: "I found that all the employees in our store are pretty good."

This is indeed something to be thankful for. There are delicious and lazy things in the human race, but there is no such thing as monsters.

It's just that he is lucky, and the hot pot restaurant is also lucky, and the employees he hired are all capable.

As for being smart...it is not necessary for everyone to be smart, as long as they are not lazy.

The guest next to him was still chatting: "I don't know when the boss will come back."

"I don't think he will appear in the short term. Didn't you see that the employees who were on the show are hiding? If he comes out now, the store will be crowded and the diners will be crowded to death."

"That's right, there are a lot of people who like to watch celebrities and gossip about them now. At that time, they won't care whether there is anyone eating in the store, and they will rush in and take pictures and record videos. What can the people in the store do? They can't take people away." Get out? How will they be able to tell whether the person taking the photo is a real guest or someone who went in to join in the fun? Get them all out? Then wait for the trending search."

"You think quite comprehensively."

"That is, this store still has my shares."

A bunch of people came to be interested, Ming Qian also came to be interested, someone asked curiously: "What shares? Did you invest? Do you know the boss?"

The man looked smug: "I know him, but he doesn't know me. I'm a fan of the hotpot restaurant, and I'm a cloud shareholder."

"I paid attention to this store when there were not many customers, and watched videos every day."

People laughed and "cut".

"According to this, I can also be regarded as an investor, because I come here to eat once a week."

"Hahahahaha, that's what you said, it makes sense."

Ming Qian leaned over and asked, "Then do you think there is anything bad about this store?"

He also asked the guests before, but in front of the boss, the guests always said "no" and "very good": "I don't think there is anything bad about it". There is no perfect store, each customer has a different experience, some customers can accept some problems, some customers cannot accept some problems.

And what he has to do is to narrow these problems so that everyone can accept them.

The guests only thought that Mingqian was a newcomer who came to eat for the first time, but they all enthusiastically said to Mingqian: "This restaurant is very good. It used to be relatively small, but now it is spacious. I have to say that there is nothing wrong with it." The place probably has too many customers."

"I think this store is pretty good, mainly because of the good atmosphere."

"Yes, it's lively."

"Those who don't like the excitement can book a private room."

"I don't think it's interesting to sit in a private room, but it's interesting to sit in the lobby."

"I also found a girlfriend in the store, my luck, hey!"

Obviously I was asking what was wrong with the store, but everyone blew rainbow farts in unison, because they could feel different things in this store. Now that everyone has a mobile phone, it seems that the distance has been shortened. , the actual distance between people is far.

In the past, when mobile phones were not popular, you often had to share a table with others when you went to eat in the store. You could chat with the people at the same table when you were eating. People from all over the world could chat immediately, and the chat was full of enthusiasm.

But now everyone is sitting at a table, chatting with acquaintances with their mobile phones.

Only in this restaurant, you can vaguely find the feeling of the past. The two adjacent tables can chat quickly, and the regular customers will introduce the must-order dishes in the store to the new customers.

Therefore, there are many young people in the store who have become a couple.

The same taste quickly allowed them to find a common topic, and then they exchanged mobile phone numbers logically, and gradually fell in love.

The boy's girlfriend also smiled and said: "At the beginning, it was because we both like to eat shrimp slips, and we both like to cook them in a red soup pot, while others like to eat shrimp slips cooked in a clear soup pot."

The person next to him laughed: "The taste is so similar? That's really fate."

"It's fate to be able to get together, otherwise there are so many people in the world, why did we come to this store at this time?"

As they talked, the team slowly moved forward, and the person who was chatting with them just now was called to the number and immediately walked into the store.

Now the first floor is not as crowded as before, because you can only eat hot pot on the first floor, but you can eat hot pot and barbecue on the second floor, so many people would rather wait in line for a longer period of time than eat on the first floor.

But there are also those who come to the first floor. Compared with eating a small pot for one person, people who love hot pot still like to sit around a pot with a group of people and eat hot pot lively.

Therefore, although the first floor is not as crowded as before, it is still full of seats.

It's just that there are fewer people in line than before.

Ming Qian waited in line for 10 minutes before entering his hotpot restaurant. He was greeted by Congee Congee, but Congee Congee didn't recognize the two of them. In the eyes of others, Ming Qian and Youjun seemed to be taller Ordinary boys, no matter how ordinary you look at them, you can catch a lot of them on the road.

They couldn't even recognize porridge.

It is the first time for Ming Qian to consume in his own restaurant. He can finally experience the dining experience of the guests seriously. After being brought to the table for two, Congee asked them if they wanted a QR code Ordering is still done using traditional paper menus.

Ming Qian chose the latter.

The store still keeps paper menus, and Ming Qian couldn't understand why some stores completely abandoned paper menus.

Are these stores not doing business for the elderly at all?

QR code ordering is convenient, but Mingqian thinks paper menus are also very convenient, because when ordering with QR codes, the menu has to be swiped up and down continuously, but the paper menu can read most of the dishes and categories at a glance. On the contrary, it is clearer.

And not everyone can order with a mobile phone, what if it is an elderly person?If a guest comes to eat, what if the guest's mobile phone has a problem?Will the business of these customers not be done?

No matter how Ming Qian thought about it, he couldn't understand it.

So he has been asking the waiter to explain the two ordering methods of QR code and paper menu when asking customers to order.

"Do you want to roast the beef first or something else?" Congee congee delivered after they had ordered.

Ming Qian said seriously, "Let's roast the foie gras first."

Porridge smiled and said, "Okay."

Ming Qian watched Congee roast foie gras for them, then walked non-stop to another table, and served roast beef to that table. Flip over.

She's like a superhero.

When Yiyi was roasting pork belly for them, Mingqian asked: "How is the business in the store recently?"

Yiyi concentrated on roasting the meat, and said, "The business in the store has always been good, every day is similar to today."

"Then do you want to raise your salary?" Ming Qian raised his head and smiled at Yiyi.

Yiyi was taken aback for a moment, she looked at Mingqian's face seriously, and then looked at Youjun who was sitting opposite Mingqian, she reacted quickly, and immediately lowered her voice and whispered: "Boss, are you back so soon?"

Ming Qian also whispered: "It's not fast, it's been a few days..."

Before he finished speaking, a young man walked out in a hurry.

Ming Qian looked at the other party, he was stunned for two seconds, and then he realized that this person seemed to be Mingxin.

Mingxin ran over and put down the dishes on Mingqian's table. He looked extremely tired. When he put down the plate, he whispered: "When my cousin comes back, I will definitely tell him that you are oppressing me."

porridge:"……"

Mingxin has recently changed his temperament due to Mingli, and he can't find an ally, so he can only hold his breath.

He said bitterly: "My cousin loves me so much, I will definitely tell him when he comes back."

Mingqian: "..."

Why doesn't he remember how much he loves Mingxin?

What gave Mingxin this illusion?

Could it be the toy pistol he gave Mingxin when he was a child?
