Li Qi's concept was so exciting that the elderly Wu Furong couldn't keep up. He was stunned for a long time before asking: "What do you mean by this?"
"I just want to invest some of our money in the south and open a few big restaurants there." Li Qi explained with a smile.
This was not something he said impromptuly to scare Wu Furong. In fact, he had planned to do this for a long time. The reason why he did this was naturally to prevent the Jingkang Incident. Although he did not know whether his sudden arrival could change this period of humiliation for the Han people.
Since his history is uncertain, he has the responsibility to leave a way out for the hundred or so people in Zuixianju. Besides, with his businessman mentality, he doesn’t like to throw all his eggs in one basket.
However, Wu Furong didn't understand what Li Qi was thinking. Bianjing was now the richest city in the Song Dynasty. People from outside were still rushing to come here to do business, but Li Qi actually threw money outside. He said in surprise: "You want to
Invest your money in the south? Why is that? We are doing well here, why should we leave? Even if we want to open a branch in the south, we must first open a branch in Bianjing!"
Li Qi sighed and said: "Uncle Wu, the restaurant industry in Bianjing has reached its peak, and everything is available. If you want to make further progress, it will be very difficult, and those places in the south are still developing.
, very suitable for us to show off our talents. Take this incident as an example, Cai Minde just used some small tricks and almost brought us down. If Fan Lou hadn't helped in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. If we
If there are branches in the south, then we don’t have to worry. If we lose money here, we can transfer money from the south to make up for it. This is the principle of not putting your eggs in one basket, lest if you don’t hold the basket firmly that day, it will fall with a plop.
On the ground, all the eggs were gone."
After listening to this, Wu Furong began to think deeply.
Li Qi smiled again and said: "Uncle Wu, don't worry too much. I'm just saying this. We will discuss with my wife carefully what to do in detail at that time. However, I have to make this move.
Of course, I won’t let you run over there.”
Wu Furong nodded and said with a smile: "If it is beneficial to Zuixianju, even if I have to make a trip with my old bones, I will have no objection."
"We'll talk about this later."
Li Qi chuckled and asked, "Uncle Wu, what's going on in other restaurants recently?"
Wu Furong said cheerfully: "They are gathering together all day now. They are discussing how to sell the meat in their hands. Now the price of pork has dropped by another penny. If they continue to sell like this for another month, it will be enough for them."
It's okay. It's not bad. If they can't sell it, then they have to jump into the river."
Wow! If so many members and outsiders jumped into the river together, what a spectacular sight it would be!
Li Qi felt evil in his heart and suddenly said: "Uncle Wu, do you think it is possible for the price of meat to drop again?"
"I think it's really possible. Mutton probably won't drop too much, but pork will definitely drop. However, the price of ducks is constantly rising." Wu Furong said with a depressed expression again.
Li Qi laughed and said: "This is just an extraordinary period. Roast duck has just been launched. After a while, I think the price of duck will fall back. But this period
Son of a bitch, it’s enough for us to take revenge.**”
Wu Furong grinned and nodded: "That's right, that's right."
Just when Li Qi and Wu Furong were chatting enthusiastically, Chen Anan's voice came from outside, "Uncle Wu, Brother Li, and Mr. Fan are here."
Fan Shaobai?
Li Qi frowned and asked, "What is he here for?"
Wu Furong shook his head and said, "I don't even know. Could it be that something happened to their chain store?"
"Uncle Wu, can you say something more auspicious?"
Li Qi glanced at Wu Furong angrily, and then said to Chen Anan outside the house: "Anan, go and invite Mr. Fan here."
"oh."
...
After a while, Fan Shaobai walked in with a spring breeze on his face.
When Li Qi saw the smile on Fan Shaobai's face, he knew that Wu Furong's prediction had come true. He was clearly here to bring good news.
"Master Fan."
"Shopkeeper Wu, Master Li."
The three of them bowed to each other, and Fan Shaobai bowed to Li Qi and said, "Master Li, back then Shaobai was too blind to see Mount Tai. I hope Master Li will forgive me for what I have offended."
He is now convinced by Li Qi and understands Fan Zheng's intentions.
Li Qi hurriedly helped him up and said hehe: "Master Fan, we have always gotten along very harmoniously. We should not offend anyone. What you said is too outrageous."
Fan Shaobai looked ashamed and nodded.
After Li Qi asked Fan Shaobai to sit down, he asked politely: "Have Mr. Fan eaten?"
Fan Shaobai chuckled and said: "On the way here, I ate two Hanbao, and now my stomach is still full. Master Li, your Hanbao is really a good thing. Most people will be full after eating just one, and the price is still very cheap."
, it’s much more cost-effective than buying meat. Who wants to buy cooked meat these days? People all over the street are stuffing Hanbao into their mouths.”
You are exaggerating.
Li Qi laughed and said: "This is just a fresh period, this Hanbao still has to withstand the test of time! Mr. Fan, please don't praise it too early, be careful of it becoming arrogant and complacent."
"It's time to praise, it's time to praise."
Fan Shaobai smiled and said again: "Master Li, to tell you the truth, I am taking the liberty of visiting you because I actually want to discuss something with you."
Li Qi asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
"I want to borrow someone from you."
"Borrowing someone?"
Li Qi asked: "Who is it?"
"Xiaoyu."
Fan Shaobai smiled.
"Xiaoyu?"
Li Qi frowned, this guy is quite knowledgeable. Xiaoyu has only worked in their store for a day or two, and this guy is already trying to poach someone. You are so naive. He tried to say: "I don't know what Mr. Fan said.
what for?"
Fan Shaobai hurriedly said: "That's right, I'm very interested in the service concept created by Master Li, so I also want the bartender in the shop to learn from it. I heard that the maids at the last birthday party were all
This Xiaoyu was trained, so I wanted to ask her to teach the bartenders in the shop."
So that's all? This guy was so busy all day that he came over personally to do this little thing.
Li Qi glanced at Fan Shaobai. He was not opposed to this matter. After all, if this service concept can be popularized, it can also greatly improve the status of the bartender, so that some guests will not grab the bartender and yell at them when they have nothing to do.
Even if he doesn't give him dignity, this is too shabby. But he will not lend Xiaoyu to Fan Lou. Xiaoyu is his key training target. He smiled and said: "This is not difficult, but Xiaoyu, I still have a task to assign to him.
In this way, I will send another person to your store to teach them. You can rest assured that the teaching will not be worse than Xiaoyu. What do you think?"
"Okay, Shaobai would like to thank Master Li and Shopkeeper Wu."
Fan Shaobai cupped his hand and said with a smile. In fact, he didn't fully understand Xiaoyu's strength, so he was not here to target Xiaoyu. What he wanted most was to learn Li Qi's service philosophy.
Li Qi returned the courtesy and said: "Where, where, it's a simple effort. It's not worth mentioning."
Fan Shaobai smiled and added: "It's strange to say that after the roast duck and Hanbao came out, the business of the shop was also affected a lot, but this time, the fewer customers come to the shop, the happier I am.
"
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Young Master Fan is joking. Anyway, the money ended up in your pocket. It just changed its place."
"Hey, this money is a small thing."
Fan Shaobai waved his hand and said: "The most important thing is that the shopkeepers of those restaurants are in a miserable state now. They are looking for people to sell their meat all day long. No, what happened yesterday?"
Some restaurant owners even found small shops."
It turns out this guy has other plans!
A gleam flashed in Li Qi's eyes, but he said in surprise: "What? You said that Yuan Cai and the shopkeepers of those big restaurants went to your store?"
"How dare I say this nonsense? But Yuan Cai didn't come."
Fan Shaobai sighed and said: "At the beginning, Cai Yuanwai and those restaurants controlled the meat market in an attempt to bring you drunken immortality, but they never thought that now these meats are more terrifying to them than poison, and customers will not buy them.
Meat, the big butchers behind them are forcing them to sell meat, and they are really riding a tiger now. The meat in their hands is getting more and more every day. Now they can eat this batch of meat, and they have not signed a contract with the butchers.
The store and you are in Zuixianju. If they choose one of the two, they will naturally choose the store first."
Li Qi narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "Then the price they give you must be very low."
"Yes, but it's not about the price now. The problem is that if I don't sell this batch of meat, it won't be a loss." Fan Shaobai shook his head.
"That's true."
Li Qi nodded and said, "Then you rejected them?"
Fan Shaobai nodded and said: "Yes, I can't see it."
i, they will put down their dignity and come to your store."
This guy has been talking for a long time just because he wants to trick me.
Li Qi rolled his eyes, and flashes of light passed by, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Master Fan, you don't dare to accept this batch of meat, let alone the small shop. You should have told him in the first place, never go there
I won’t even give them a cup of tea, so as not to bring trouble to themselves.”
Fan Shaobai laughed and said, "Didn't I think that Master Li could accept this batch of meat?"
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Not to mention that we don't have the strength, even if we have the strength to accept this batch of meat, there won't be so many people eating it!"
"That is, that is."
Fan Shaobai smiled slightly and said with a hint of schadenfreude: "If this is really the case, those restaurants will suffer the consequences."
"This has nothing to do with me. I didn't ask them to sign the contract with the butcher in the first place. If they want to find it, they should go to Cai Yuanwai." Li Qi shook his head.
Fan Shaobai was stunned and said, "What Master Li said is true." As he said that, he laughed again.
After Fan Shaobai learned that Li Qi did not intend to ask for this batch of meat, he sat for a while and then left.
As soon as he left, Li Qi immediately said to Wu Furong: "Uncle Wu, go and prepare the money right away."
"Ah? What are you preparing the money for?"
"Buy meat." Li Qi smiled.
"What? Didn't you say you won't buy it?" Wu Furong said in shock.
"I was fooling Fan Shaobai."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Nowadays, because of the war, the price of meat has been rising all over the country. That is to say, Yuanwai Cai, a kind man, has forcibly lowered the price of meat. Now those restaurants are going crazy trying to sell meat."
, I think the price must be ridiculously low. Only a fool would not want this kind of meat."
Wu Furong wondered: "But with so much meat, have you sold all of it?"
"Don't worry, if this meat is in Fan Shaobai's hands, it will probably be smashed, but in our hands, it will be nothing but money. Oh, by the way, help me contact the cargo ship going south. I want it this time
Spread the name of Zuixianju throughout the country and open up a way for us to go south." Li Qi said with a smile on his lips.
