Zhou Yan wanted to continue calling the mayor's hotline, but after thinking about it for a while he decided to give up: it would be difficult to really improve the quality of food in the cafeteria through inspections from superiors alone. After all, government staff cannot keep an eye on the cafeteria for you every day.
But Zhou Yan has no intention of swallowing this breath. We have finally been able to stand up for our classmates in this life, and a certain benefit has ended in an anticlimactic manner. What's going on?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yan decided to spend money to buy something comfortable and let the owner of the school cafeteria see the cruelty of society: open a fast food restaurant in front of the school and compete with the school cafeteria.
Of course, Zhou Yan couldn't do this by himself.
On the day when the course design was completed, Zhou Yan called Cheng Lidong, his second uncle’s partner and apprentice Yu Fei’s uncle: “Brother Dong, are you free tonight? I’ll treat you to dinner at Yunzhong Restaurant!”
Someone who had never suggested anything suddenly called to invite him to dinner. Cheng Lidong naturally knew there was something fishy about it, but he still agreed because he wanted to see what kind of medicine Zhou Yan was selling in his gourd.
In the evening, Cheng Lidong arrived as promised.
As soon as they met, Zhou Yan asked a question that surprised Cheng Lidong: "Brother Dong, can you get the country's frozen meat reserve?"
"My cold storages are responsible for part of the task of storing meat!"
Zhou Yan suddenly became bright and he laughed: "There is such a thing, the people in our school's canteen are really bullying people..."
Zhou Yan explained the situation in the school cafeteria in detail.
"Oh," Cheng Lidong was happy after hearing this, "Are you planning to spend money to vent your anger?"
"Brother Dong, what I want to do is a business that is both harmful to others and beneficial to myself," Zhou Yan smiled slyly, "Have you ever been to our provincial capital in Xia Dong?"
Zhou Yan didn't need to say much, Cheng Lidong understood instantly: "Are you planning to make fast food based on braised pork and big pot dishes?"
"Yes," Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "If there is a stable supply of meat, even if the dishes are sold cheaper than the canteen of the University of Technology, the profit will still be huge..."
Cheng Lidong was slightly moved: Although the price of pork has risen to double digits, frozen meat is still not very popular. If he follows what Zhou Yan said and circulates frozen meat in a timely manner, at least his own storage warehouses can ensure that
Certain profit.
"But..." Cheng Lidong looked at Zhou Yan with a smile, "There must be great resistance to opening a fast food restaurant around your school, right?"
"To the south of our school is the Public Security Department. No matter how good our school is, we can't control the territory of the Public Security Department." Zhou Yan smiled very honestly, "And not only can we bring in the family members of the Public Security Department, but we can also organize veterans.
Military employment training pilot..."
"Your kid's brain..."
Cheng Lidong was a little dumbfounded, but he had to admit that the fast food in Hongzhou, Xia Dong, was more suitable for veterans: the recipes for braised pork and large pot dishes could be standardized, and as long as they were made according to the requirements, the taste would be the same; and, more importantly,
Yes, the business methods can be flexible and diverse. You can set up stalls, open stores, and even run chains...
Of course, there is another thing that makes Cheng Lidong uneasy, that is...
"Xiao Zhou, the profit of the store..."
"Brother Dong, here..."
Zhou Yan smiled and took out a stack of information from his schoolbag, which contained the initial investment of fast food restaurants and cost accounting of various dishes, as well as the calculation of profit points under various circumstances...
After reading it, Cheng Lidong sighed slightly, raised his head, and looked at Zhou Yan meaningfully: "Xiao Zhou, your brain, learning about engines is really a waste..."
A mysterious smile appeared on Zhou Yan's face: "Actually, if fast food can be made into a chain, the cost can be controlled even lower. At that time, it can be pre-processed in the factory and sent to the fast food restaurant for a little processing.
The dishes are ready to be served…”
Cheng Lidong nodded: "You should have already scouted the store, right?"
Zhou Yan nodded: "The two-story supermarket in Jindun Community can no longer be opened. The number of customers it can accommodate is slightly larger than the largest Xinyuan Restaurant in our school..."
"Then how can we form a partnership?" Cheng Lidong looked at Zhou Yan with a smile.
"Brother Dong, I've done the math. The initial investment for the first store is about 300,000 yuan. I'll pay 200,000 yuan, and you can give me 40% of the shares. However, you have to provide the personnel and materials...
…”
"Forty percent is a bit too little," Cheng Lidong frowned, "I'll give you 45%..."
"Four achievements are a lot," Zhou Yan smiled, "Brother Dong, your relationships can all be discounted. Later I will make a recipe and decoration plan. Take a look and see if it is feasible. Let's
You can start preparing..."
The recipes of fast food restaurants are not a problem for Zhou Yan at all: braised meat, Zhou Yan is familiar with it; big pot home cooking is no stranger to Zhou Yan. When he first started working as a chef, he sold big pot lunch boxes for several days.
The rest of the decoration plan is even more worry-free: Zhou Yan directly copied the decoration of the famous fast food restaurant in Hongzhou that he visited countless times in his previous life.
After getting the recipe, Cheng Lidong asked the master chef in the company cafeteria to try it and found that the taste of the dishes was much better than the dishes in his company cafeteria.
This made Cheng Lidong extremely happy, and he immediately started contacting stores to recruit and train people.
Under the premise of standardized menus, training for chefs, waiters and cashiers is quite simple.
The chef only needs to follow the standard procedures. The waiter has a good attitude and can shout "Welcome". The cashier is a little more troublesome and requires a mathematics level above elementary school...
At the same time as personnel training, the decoration of the venue is also carried out at the same time.
The overall decoration style is mainly Chinese red. The front and back kitchens are separated. The walls are slightly decorated, with food supplier qualifications that are enough to reassure guests. Coupled with red particle board tables and chairs, it is a popular fast food.
The store has already begun to take shape.
After everything was ready, Cheng Lidong had a large number of discount coupons for the grand opening offer printed, and the work-study students dispersed through a large batch of flyers in the school.
"During the opening period, all dishes are priced at one yuan! Is this a good thing?"
Less than ten days after the new semester started, advertisements for opening offers in the dormitory building were already flying all over the place...
On March 12th, Arbor Day, Huimin Fast Food, which had been advertising for three or four days, opened in a small second-floor shop at the entrance of Jindun Community.
On the opening day, it was packed with customers.
Cheng Lidong, who was in command, was so happy that he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear as he watched the pots of braised pork being processed quickly: During the opening bonus period, the dishes costing only one yuan were enough to ensure a profit...
At the end of the day, Cheng Lidong finally had a deep understanding of the black-heartedness of the school cafeteria contractor: he had such discounts here and still made a profit; the food in the school cafeteria was poor, give it a thought, and the country
Financial subsidy……
“There’s too much oil and water here!”
On the second day after the opening of Huimin Fast Food, some students from the University of Technology began to dig through the garbage pile and look for coupons. The roommates in Zhou Yan's dormitory did not fare much better. They threw the coupons all over the floor and looked for them again.
Come back...
On the other hand, the number of people eating in the school cafeteria quickly dropped to the lowest point.
The contractor of the school cafeteria was a little panicked, but he didn't take it to heart. The discount was only for three days, which was not enough to affect the cafeteria's income...
