It was already late at night when we came out of Jade Pavilion, and the streets were deserted.
On the way back, Wu Xiaoliu looked at Li Qi with admiration and said with a silly smile: "Brother Li, you are really capable. You got 1,500 guan in a blink of an eye. Compared with you, my uncle is nothing."
It’s really far off.”
Li Qi glared at him angrily and said, "You kid, don't flatter me here. I'm telling you, your uncle is complaining about me now. When he returns to the store, he will scold me."
"
When Wu Xiaoliu heard this, he wondered: "Brother Li, why is this? You have made so much money, how could my uncle still complain about you? Besides, he doesn't dare to scold you now."
This is the truth. After all, Li Qi is now half the boss of Zuixianju.
Li Qi smiled and suddenly asked: "Liu Zi, how do you think Brother Li handled this matter?"
"I don't know about that." Wu Xiaoliu shook his head first, and then chuckled: "But I know that you will not do that kind of loss-making business. You must have your reasons for doing so."
Hey! I didn’t expect this guy to understand me quite well!
It feels good to hear this.
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "Brother Li, let me tell you, in fact, in this transaction, both we and the Jade Pavilion are the winners."
Wu Xiaoliu asked doubtfully: "They are all winners? Brother Li, I don't understand."
"Brother Li is asking you, do you know what our Zuixianju lacks most now?"
Wu Xiaoliu thought for a while and said: "Silver!"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, what we lack is capital. Without capital, the most we can do is set up stalls on the street. It is difficult to make a difference. But once we have enough capital, we can start a business in Tokyo."
Therefore, these fifteen hundred dollars are very important to us. But to Cai Yuanwai, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket. Although I don’t have much contact with him, he is by no means an easy person.
Senior, if this stinky tofu can't bring him several times or even dozens of times of profit, he will definitely not buy it. Therefore, both of us are winners in this business. As for the future, huh, we still have to ride.
Donkey read the songbook, let’s wait and see.”
After listening to this, Wu Xiaoliu pondered for a moment and nodded: "Brother Li, I understand. What you mean is that when doing business, you must put your own interests first in everything, whether it is friends or enemies, as long as anyone
If it is beneficial to us, then we will do business with anyone."
Li Qi was taken aback for a moment and praised: "Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect that this kid like you is quite smart and has a talent for doing business."
"Hehe, isn't this all just a guess?"
Along the way, Li Qi told Wu Xiaoliu some business experience. Wu Xiaoliu responded very quickly and quickly mastered some of the key points.
After returning to Zuixianju, Li Qi saw that Wu Furong's room was still lit. He sighed, asked Wu Xiaoliu to put the things back in the kitchen, told him to rest early, and then walked towards Wu Furong's room.
Li Qi knew that if he didn't explain clearly to Wu Furong tonight, the old man might not be able to sleep all night.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Uncle Wu, are you asleep?" Li Qi gently knocked on the door and shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a "squeak" sound, and the door opened from the inside.
Wu Furong hurriedly invited Li Qi into the room. Before Li Qi could sit down, he couldn't wait to ask Li Qi: "Master Li, what on earth is going on here?"
Li Qi did not hide it anymore and told him about selling the secret recipe of stinky tofu to Jade Xuan.
Although Wu Furong had already expected this when Cai Laosan sent the money, when he heard Li Qi say it himself, he was still stunned for a while, suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "Master Li,
You—you are confused!"
Li Qi smiled slightly and asked, "Uncle Wu, what do you mean by this?"
"Mr. Li, it's not like you don't know. Now we in Zuixianju are all turning to this stinky tofu, and this secret recipe is the lifeblood of a restaurant. How could you sell it so easily?"
Speaking of this, Wu Furong shook his head and sighed: "I know you are doing this to raise the thousand dollars, but you are a little too impatient. In fact, I have already thought about this. I still have some savings here, let's raise the money
Let's get together and show off in front of Madam, and then we can do business. Now, when the other side also makes this stinky tofu, what can we do to fight with him?"
Seeing Wu Furong's regretful look, Li Qi couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed loudly, "Uncle Wu, do you know why I chose to make this stinky tofu?"
Wu Furong was stunned and shook his head.
Li Qi said seriously: "First of all, the smell of this stinky tofu is quite special. The fragrance is strong enough to attract the most customers at the first time. Considering the reputation of our Zuixianju, we can only rely on the food itself to attract
Guest; Furthermore, in this Tokyo, no one can make it except me; another point, which is the most important point, is that I planned to sell the secret recipe of stinky tofu to Jade Xuan from the beginning.
.”
"What?"
Wu Furong was shocked and asked: "You - you said you planned to sell the secret recipe of stinky tofu to Jade Xuan early in the morning?"
"good!"
Li Qi smiled slightly and asked: "Do you still remember why I only sold one or two hundred servings of stinky tofu every day?"
Wu Furong nodded and said: "Of course I remember this. You said you wanted to keep this hot popularity for a longer time."
"Then do you know why I hope this popularity can last longer?" Li Qi asked again.
Why else is this? What businessman doesn’t want his business to prosper?
Wu Furong was stunned for a moment and shook his head. He knew that since Li Qi asked this, the reason would definitely not be that simple.
Li Qi smiled and said: "The reason I did this is to lure the old fox Cai Yuanwai to take the bait."
"Ah? Luring this old fox into taking the bait?"
Wu Furong looked at Li Qi with confusion.
"Think about it, with the kind of person Cai Yuanwai is, how can he not be tempted when he sees our business is so booming every day? So he will definitely try his best to get the secret recipe of this stinky tofu. Not only that, I
When I was negotiating with him today, I told him that we were forced to do this because of lack of capital. When he heard that we were so poor that we couldn't even afford a piece of tofu, could he still take us seriously? In this case
, it will be very convenient for our future development.”
After Li Qi finished speaking, he suddenly asked again without waiting for Wu Furong to speak: "Uncle, do you know why I only fried tofu for one day and asked Xiao Liuzi to take my place?"
Wu Furong said in surprise: "Didn't you say you have important things to do?"
"Uh..., it's a little something."
Li Qi laughed and continued: "But the most important thing is to take the opportunity to tell the old fox that this stinky tofu was made by me. Based on his understanding of you, he can guess the stinky tofu as long as he asks people to inquire."
The tofu must have come from me. Next, he will definitely find a way to find me, and I will deliberately avoid seeing him and let him sit at home and worry. When he is extremely anxious, I will negotiate with him again.
In this way, as long as I use some tricks during the negotiation, he still won't tell me the bottom price in his mind. Anyway, the ultimate goal of all of this is to make Mr. Cai beg me for money.
Sell him the secret recipe of stinky tofu."
After hearing this, Wu Furong suddenly realized it and praised: "What a good plan. If you hadn't told the truth today, I would never have thought of coming to this level. However, I still don't understand something."
"oh?"
"Since this stinky tofu is so profitable, why can't you wait. I believe that in a few months, we will be able to earn 1,500 yuan. Why bother to take advantage of that old fox?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Uncle, you think too simply. The reason why we were able to earn such huge profits in such a short period of time is because the net profit of this stinky tofu is too high. 300 Wen is enough."
You can go to the butcher shop to cut one or two pounds of pork. Besides, this stinky tofu can neither satisfy your hunger nor is good for your health. The business is so good now because of its freshness. After the guests have tasted it several times,
Then you won't waste this wasted money. Of course, there will be some people who like to eat it very much, but with such a high price, they won't come every day. If you want to make 1,500 yuan from this stinky tofu, you don't know how to make it.
We have to wait until the end of the Year of the Monkey, so we cannot treat this stinky tofu as a long-term solution."
Wu Furong nodded and said: "You are right, the business these days is indeed not as good as the first few days."
Li Qi said sternly: "We have to earn enough capital as soon as possible to rise as quickly as possible, otherwise, with the current expansion speed of Jade Pavilion, it won't be long before all of Nancheng will be his.
At that time, if we wanted to turn over, it would be even harder than reaching the sky."
In fact, Li Qi still has one concern, that is, the "Jingkang Incident" that is coming soon, but he cannot tell Wu Furong about this.
"Master Li, I have convinced you. I didn't expect you to have thought so far. It's rare, it's rare!" Wu Furong shook his head and praised.
Humph! I haven’t even started yet. Just wait, I’ll surprise you with the storage in the future!
Li Qi smiled secretly in his heart, but had a shy look on his face.
Wu Furong asked again: "Now that the capital has been earned, what should we do next?"
Li Qi snapped his fingers and said: "Rest!"
"rest?"
"Well, if we do it with great fanfare as soon as we get the money, then the old fox will definitely guess that we have a premeditated plan, and he will definitely retaliate with all his strength. With our current strength, we can't fight him. Moreover,
We might as well take advantage of this period of time to straighten things out. As for what to do next, I haven’t figured it out yet.”
As Li Qi spoke, he unconsciously revealed a sinister smile.
When Wu Furong saw it, he knew that he must have planned it for a long time, but he just didn't want to say it. Wu Furong had long been accustomed to this, and did not continue to ask, but secretly expected it in his heart.
