A Honda Accord drove into the school gate. Han Tianzhen, who was standing on the roadside, saw this and hurriedly ran up.
A head poked out of the car window, looking a bit weathered. Han Tianzhen's nose felt sore. If there weren't people around her, she would have cried.
Han Guangwen looked unshaven. He was busy borrowing money from everywhere these days.
If this year's rent is not paid in full, the restaurant that has finally made some progress will go out of business.
He had already discussed with his brother about renting the store, and borrowed another 300,000 yuan, which was enough to cover the cost for about three months.
When the time came, I made money and paid back the more than 200,000 yuan I borrowed before. My brother agreed readily at first.
Unexpectedly, last week, my sister-in-law's mother-in-law suddenly wanted to buy a house. My brother didn't even tell him and just lent the money to his uncle.
When he went to get the money on the agreed date, he realized that his brother could not lend him the 300,000 he had agreed to.
He still owed his brother more than 200,000 yuan, and Han Guangwen felt that he was indebted.
After hearing the news, he didn't say anything and could only find a way to raise money on his own.
When someone lends you money, it's out of love, but when they don't lend you, it's their duty. Han Guangwen still understands this truth. If it weren't for the fact that he had no other choice, he wouldn't want to bother his brother and his family so cowardly...
"Dad, you haven't eaten yet, go to the cafeteria to eat something first."
Han Tianzhen didn't know that something was wrong at home at first, because no matter how short of money Han Guangwen was, he would not miss her living expenses.
I have to thank my cousin for this matter. It may be because Han Guangwen asked his brother to borrow money. The relationship between the two sisters is very bad now. From time to time, the cousin will mock her in the family group, saying that the family is too poor to expose the blame.
Now, I still want to go to Disneyland.
At first, Han Tianzhen thought that her cousin was jealous of her. Later, when several elders in the family group also stood up and said that she was ignorant, Han Tianzhen realized the seriousness of the problem.
Last night, Han Tianzhen returned home and confronted her parents face to face, forcing them to reveal the truth.
It turns out that during the epidemic, my father lost all his money and has been borrowing money to keep the restaurant running since last year.
It’s not like Dad has never thought about selling out the restaurant, but after talking to many interested parties, the offers were all too low.
Later, when there was really no other way, we started to lay off employees.
Until the very end.
The restaurant that was once famous in several streets only had chef Han Guangwen, cashier Mama Han, and two distant cousins as waiters.
That's the thing about restaurants. When business is good, everyone flocks to it, even if you are a fly restaurant.
If the business is not good and the place is deserted all day long, even if you decorate it like a palace, there will be no one there.
"If you don't want to eat, please take me to ask. If it doesn't work here, I have to go to the bank to try."
Han Tianzhen's big Xing'er eyes were filled with tears, she nodded tightly, got in the car, pointed to the road and drove towards the Entrepreneurship Center.
···
"The situation is probably like this. Let some friends see if they can help. I, Han, will definitely be grateful."
Han Guangwen actually felt a little guilty. If his daughter hadn't dragged him over, he wouldn't have believed that an investment company run by a college student could have the ability to revive his restaurant.
The pantry is separated by gypsum boards next to it.
Han Tianzhen had already burst into tears, and Jiang Mengbai hugged her and kept comforting her.
She knows best whether the investment company opened by Lu Xiaochuan is strong or not.
It’s not just Lu Xiaochuan’s net worth.
As the president of the student union, she also learned a lot of information that other students didn't know.
For example: this company has just cooperated with Haisheng Group on a large order worth several million; the company has just invested 2 million in a team of information engineering; and Lu Xiaochuan's cars for Zhou Yalin and Li Xinhui are both Audi A4l.
In the office.
Lu Xiaochuan asked curiously: "Uncle, what kind of cuisine does your restaurant specialize in?"
Han Guangwen knew that the person in front of him was the boss of the company, and proudly said: "I specialize in ducks!"
Lu Xiaochuan and the other three nodded slightly.
It is understood that Jinling eats 150 million ducks every year! Jinling has a permanent population of 8 million, and each person eats an average of 18 ducks every year. All in all, it does not rule out that many people do not like to eat duck meat.
Han Guangwen said as he took out an insulated food box from his briefcase.
He carries this thing with him, hoping that it can help him when borrowing money.
"Here, you guys have a taste. I just made this this morning and it's still warm."
Lu Xiaochuan motioned to Li Xinhui to take it, and when the food box was opened, a strong smoky smell spread.
Lu Xiaochuan and the three of them had all eaten before. When they smelled the smell of smoked salted duck, they swallowed unconsciously.
Li Xinhui picked up a duck leg unceremoniously, looked at the quality first, nodded and said: "It is indeed a lot higher than the ones in our canteen."
Zhou Yalin found the disposable chopsticks leftover from the bento purchase and gave a pair to Lu Xiaochuan.
Lu Xiaochuan took the chopsticks, opened them, picked up a piece of duck breast with skin, smelled it, and put it directly into his mouth.
“Well, it’s delicious!”
There are no exaggerated modifiers, it just feels delicious!
Zhou Yalin also thought it tasted good. From a professional perspective, he began to analyze why such a delicious salted duck had no business.
"Boss Han, can you show me the restaurant's menu?"
Han Guangwen was stunned. He didn't expect that these college students were quite professional. He was going to the bank to apply for a loan, and there happened to be a copy of the menu in the loan information.
"Okay, I'll get it for you."
Zhou Yalin took the copy of the menu and after taking a look, he discovered the problem.
"Boss Han, the location of your store is quite good. Although there are old residential buildings on both sides, there are three office buildings just one street away, and the district office is to the east. The business in this location can't be too bad, right?"
"Are there any actual photos of the interior of the restaurant?"
"Well, there are many, and there are videos."
Han Guangwen hurriedly took out his mobile phone. Zhou Yalin's professional analysis gave him hope.
Zhou Yalin took various materials and Han Guangwen's mobile phone, took Li Xinhui and started discussing.
Lu Xiaochuan knew that this kind of practical opportunity was rare, so he also joined the discussion between the two.
As Party A, Han Guangwen provides some on-site data from time to time.
Just like that, a lively discussion among the four people rang out in the office, which aroused curiosity among Han Tianzhen and Jiang Mengbai in the tea room.
It is said that boys who work hard are the most handsome.
Both of their eyes fell on Lu Xiaochuan. They felt that Lu Xiaochuan had the temperament of a domineering president even when he was smoking.
30 minutes later.
Zhou Yalin said: "Boss Han, you can invest, but you must leave the later operations and promotion to our company."
Han Guangwen was stunned, a little unwilling, he didn't want to just be a cook.
Zhou Yalin continued: "If you can accept it, I will persuade Mr. Lu to spend 2 million to renovate your store. You are taking the civilian route now, which I think is not advisable. We should go higher and do something valuable."
A Western restaurant with Chinese characteristics!”
Han Guangwen was confused. Although he listened to every word, why couldn't he understand it when they were put together?
“What is Chinese-Western food?”
Zhou Yalin smiled, picked up his chopsticks, pointed at the salted duck in the thermal box, and asked, "How much do you sell this portion for?"
Han Guangwen replied in a daze: "68 yuan."
Zhou Yalin turned the lid of the thermos box upside down and placed it on the table. He picked up a piece of duck breast and placed it on it. He also picked up the puffs bought by Jiang Mengbai and squeezed out a little of the cream inside, dotting it on the crispy skin of the duck breast.
.
Finally, I took the lighter from Lu Xiaochuan and burned a little brown on the butter.
"Boss Han, how much do you think this duck breast should cost?"
Han Guangwen opened his mouth, wondering if this was a joke. He paused and said, "It's just such a small piece, 2 yuan is the most, haha."
Zhou Yalin shook his head and said with a bit of ridicule: "Boss Han is really kind-hearted."
Han Guangwen wanted to retort: "I..."
Zhou Yalin knocked on the table directly and said with a smile: "If you ask me, this salt-baked butter-smoked duck is worth 188!"
