The Journey Starting from the Siheyuan Chapter 568 Hot Searches on Steak
Wang Lidong glanced at the people present. There were eight families in total, and most of them were worth between 10 billion and 30 billion.
"I'm really not sure about this. I've never been in business here in Zhejiang Province. But I can tell you here in Mingzhu. The annual agency fee for Western food is 900 million, and the annual agency fee for Japanese food is 1.8 billion.
According to the ratio of the total consumption of the two provinces and cities, Zhejiang Province is twice that of Mingzhu. The starting price for agency fees for Western food is 1.8 billion/year, and the starting price for Japanese cuisine is 3.6 billion/year."
"So expensive?!"
Everyone took a breath. They originally thought it would be five or six billion, but now with this price, plus the store, decoration, etc. after the photo was taken, it is a bit difficult for a family to afford it alone.
"I'll do the math with you, and you'll know it's really not expensive."
Wang Lidong said: "Last year, Gray Whale's annual income was 120 million, and it is estimated that it will be about 150 million in the future, with a gross profit of about 72%..."
“The gross profit is so high?”
"In the past, the gross profit was around 65%, but the chefs were all robots, and the waste in all aspects such as ingredients, seasonings, and losses in the kitchen was almost zero..."
Everyone suddenly realized that they had forgotten this. They couldn't tell it at ordinary times, but after careful calculation, it was really not a small sum. According to Gray Whale's calculation, 7% would cost tens of millions.
"The total cost of personnel, rent, water, electricity, amortization and other costs is almost 31%, and the net profit is almost 40%. A store has a net income of 60 million a year. I plan to open 33 three-star Western restaurants in Mingzhu City, so it will be about the same a year.
2 billion net profit.”
"Based on the agency fee of 900 million, Haokun, you are taking 45% of the profits even if you do nothing? Isn't this too high?"
“The famous ‘Apple tax’ is only 30%.”
Knowing that this would be the case, Wang Lidong sighed and said:
"Although I have 45%, I actually only get 4.5%, and the rest will be given to eC Company."
Li Zhaonian said: "You want to hand over 90% of the profits?"
Wang Lidong had a wry smile on his face: "Otherwise, why would they let me act as an agent? Wouldn't it be better to hand it over to a company that specializes in this area? To put it bluntly, I can win the agency because of this."

Everyone present was thoughtful.
Calculated this way, if we win the agency right, we can get about 55% of the profits, while the Jiang family only gets 4.5%...
Isn't this similar to the profit of the foundry, maybe not as strong as the foundry.
Wang Lidong saw everyone's reaction and smiled in his heart, it was only human nature.
Originally, the net worth of each family was about the same, but the Jiang family suddenly wanted to make a fortune. Although they expressed congratulations on their faces, they were lying if they said they were not sad in their hearts.
"You think it's expensive, but in the eyes of some people, it's just a matter of words. We have many elders in Zhejiang Province, and of course they may look down on this little bit of meat..."
Everyone's heart suddenly felt chilly...Ali Ma, Frog Sect, Xiyou Ding...the elders who are worth hundreds of billions, they know more than double tens...a province can make billions of profits a year
, in five years it will be tens of billions, in twenty years it will be less than 100 billion...
Meatballs?!
Jiang Haokun is a little distracted!
"Brother Li,"
"Brother Nian..."
Everyone looked at the eldest Li Zhaonian. He was the one who took the lead in similar situations before.
Li Zhaonian thought for a while and then said: "Fighting alone, we alone will definitely not be able to compete with those big bosses. The old rule is that we all come together and after we win, we will divide it up."
Everyone nodded and worked together to seize the territory first.
"I have no opinion."
"I don't have any objection either."
"..."
After going around and everyone agreed, Li Zhaonian looked at Wang Lidong:
"Haokun, which provinces do you think we can take over the agency rights?" Looking at the scorching eyes of everyone, Wang Lidong said, "Brother Li, you are not asking a question, you are clearly the general of our army."
Li Zhaonian picked up the teapot and refilled his cup: "If it's about real estate, building materials, green plants, etc., I won't ask you. But except for you, we are not very familiar with the catering business. The 'super chef' belongs to your family.
, of course I have to ask you about this real Buddha."
Wang Lidong said:
"The decision-making power for this set of things is actually not in my hands. I also fought for a long time to win the agency rights for the two cuisines in Mingzhu City."
Li Zhaonian frowned and said: "Aren't all the domestic agency rights given to you? Whoever authorizes them, then what kind of C company should also take care of it?"
Wang Lidong spread his hands: "Whoever keeps the core technology in other people's hands."
Everyone thought for a moment and nodded. If the Jiang family is displeased, they can tear up the contract at any time. If they find a big and powerful factory to cooperate with, Jiang Haokun may not even have the guts to file a lawsuit.
Everyone has encountered this kind of situation of being manipulated casually, and they often encounter it, and they can't help but feel a little resentful...
Wang Lidong thought for a while and said: "My family's business has been thanks to everyone's help over the years... Well, at most, I can help you win the agency rights for one cuisine in Zhejiang Province at the starting price. As for other provinces, if you want
If you want, take it at the highest price... But I advise everyone, stop fighting between the south and the north, just pick the provinces in the Yangtze River Basin..."
Most of the people looked happy. According to Wang Lidong, they can earn about 3 billion a year at a minimum. If they work hard to win a few relatively useless provinces, at the end of the year, one family can get 700 to 800 million.
profit....
During this period, Wang Lidong went out to use the restroom, and when he entered the box again, several companies had already discussed the results. They wanted the agency rights for Japanese cuisine in Zhejiang Province, and other provinces. They had to discuss it with their families after returning home before making a decision.
Wang Lidong reminded: "The auction of the agency rights is planned to be after the Spring Festival, which is about a month and a half away.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These days, everyone can take a look at the performance of the 'Super Chef' and collect some money at the same time. Within 3 days of the end of the auction, the first year's agency fee will be paid...
.”
After negotiating with a group of friends in the afternoon, Wang Lidong thought that these bastards would go home immediately, but unexpectedly, none of them refused to leave, and they even got more serious and called all the family members over, directly occupying the Jiang family's box.
After asking about the reason, I found out that "Welliton steak, extraordinary strength and 'super chef' robot directly occupied the top three positions on the hot search list..."
Anyone who eats 'Beef Wellington' for lunch will have a vision of the Middle Ages in their mind.
At first everyone thought it was just an accident, but as the topic of "robot chef" became popular, it turned out to be no coincidence...
Extraordinary power!
The explosion stunned everyone at once, and the 'Super Chef' immediately became popular, and the fire became extremely popular.
If extraordinary power really appeared, it would be possible to realize the extraordinary escape skills, Taoist magic, and internal skills and mental methods in the world...
While waiting for dinner, Wang Lidong looked at the background data and found that every table ordered 'Beef Wellington,' and couldn't help but laugh and cry...
.............
In a conference room at No. 14 Changjian Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing City, a middle-aged man with two cents on his shoulder said a very nonsense thing in a serious tone:
“....There’s something transcendent about Gray Whale’s Steak Wellington.
In the evening, 6 of us went to the Gray Whale Restaurant. After eating this dish, the image of a general's triumphant victory in the European Middle Ages appeared in our minds...
The origin of this dish is to commemorate the hero of the Battle of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington.
According to the confirmation of six comrades, the general who appears in my mind is very similar to the Duke of Wellington of the Queen's Kingdom."
On the projection screen, a middle-aged man with blond hair and a high nose wearing a medieval lobster soldier uniform appeared.
Everyone in the conference room whispered to each other:
"It turns out to be true."
"I thought it was hype."
"...."
A man with a star on his shoulder asked: "Xiao Zhang, apart from the hallucinations, are there any other abnormalities in your body?"
Ermao Er said: "According to the feedback of the six comrades, no other abnormalities have been found for the time being. I have arranged for them to enter the observation room."
One star said: "Find out where the robot arm and core program of 'Super Chef' come from?"
Ermao Er said: "For the time being, we have only found that this set of things comes from a company called eC, and the contact person is called Ju Zai."
Orange boy?
People in Guangdong Province like to add the character "子" to their names.
Yi Xing thought for a while and said: "Observe for two more days, if the situation is still the same as today..."
After thinking about Jiang Haokun's information, he glanced at the people in the conference room and said to a female officer carrying two cents and one cent on her shoulders: "Xiao Xu, when the time comes, you go to Mingzhu and get in touch with Jiang Haokun."
