Similar to the teahouse situation, there are also bars under Jiayi International projects, which are currently managed by each project itself. In a short period of time, these projects may not be able to find qualified strategic partners to join them.
The management rights of the coffee shop have been handed over to Suijinghao. This franchise method is what Sun Dahai hopes to see most.
In fact, in Sun Dahai's vision, the operating rights of bars, cafes, teahouses, and amusement projects in all Jiayi International projects must be managed and managed uniformly by professional strategic partners.
On the other hand, catering needs to have enough local characteristics, so each project may not necessarily be consistent. This area can be solved by each project's own investment, and at most the cafeteria can be left to be operated by itself.
This "self" does not refer to each project itself, but to other professional catering companies within the company system that are responsible for operation and management.
Sun Dahai unanimously hopes that projects should avoid cross-border operations as much as possible. Jiayi International only provides one platform, and the purer and simpler its business scope, the better.
Introducing appropriate strategic partners will be the best way to solve this problem.
Sun Dahai came to the teahouse now because he made an appointment with Ouyang Huihui and Old William to come here to discuss work.
There is a cooperation project between Suijinghao and No.9 Hot Pot Restaurant, which is the "Taotie House Global Food Gallery". We will discuss the status of this project in a moment.
Sun Dahai purchased his family's old house in Daocheng from David Smith, including the land, for a total of US$100,000.
This piece of land is located next to the first bathing beach in the island city, with mountains behind it and the sea. It is in an excellent location and has high commercial value.
Therefore, Sun Dahai bought the land in the name of No.9 Hotpot Restaurant, and jointly funded No.9 Hotpot Restaurant and Suijinghao, pushed it to the old house on the original site, and rebuilt a three-story street-facing shop.
building.
This commercial building is owned by two companies, and they applied to change the use of the land and became the branches of these two companies in the island city.
The new shop building was completed in May last year, and on June 18, the No. 9 hotpot restaurant and the branch of Suijinghao in Daocheng began their official operations.
This commercial building covers an area of nearly 3,000 square meters. The total business area from the first to the third floor exceeds 8,000 square meters. Each of the two companies reaches 4,000 square meters. This is just the reception area.
The underground floor of this building is connected. The underground floor is a semi-underground structure. The kitchens, operation rooms, storage rooms and warehouses of the two companies are all located on this floor.
In addition, a two-story building was built behind the shop building. The first floor is the administrative office area of the two stores, and there is also a small cold storage, which is managed and shared by both parties. The upstairs is the collective dormitory for the employees.
Therefore, although the rooftop platform of the shop building has been semi-enclosed and is a veritable sea-viewing platform, it has not been used because the business area on the first to third floors is enough for two stores to use during peak tourist periods.
But it would be a waste of money not to use such a good business location. The two companies discovered this problem after the design drawings of the commercial building were released.
After discussing it, they felt that they would not be able to use it themselves and it would be inconvenient to rent it out to outsiders, so they submitted the issue to Sun Dahai directly.
After Sun Dahai received this question, he suddenly remembered the mid-to-high-end international complex buffet restaurant that had a booming business in his previous life.
So he told this idea to Ouyang Huihui and Old William, and asked them to cooperate and use the top platform of the store building to try this business method.
Old William is a good eater and likes to look for delicious food everywhere, otherwise Sun Dahai would never have thought of recruiting him to No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant. He is old and has no shortage of money.
When I mentioned this kind of restaurant, I didn't expect Old William to actually know that there are already similar buffet restaurants in Xiangjiang and Wanwan, but they are relatively small in scale and have not become popular for the time being.
He took Sun Dahai's suggestion very seriously, so after consultation with Ouyang Huihui, they conducted on-site inspections and market research separately, and decided to start a new business and register a separate catering company to specialize in this project.
Through preliminary inspections, they found that the key factor in this project was the supply of ingredients. So they roped in Shiweitian and Jiahua to jointly operate the "Taotie House Catering Investment Company", and the project was also named
"Gourmet House Global Gourmet Collection".
Later, I didn't know where I got the news. The Sun family's domestic partners, Huaxin Trading Company and Huaxin Travel Company, came to the door together, hoping to participate in the "Taotie House Catering Investment Company".
Huaxin Trading Company and Huaxin Travel Company are affiliated to Huaxin Trust and Investment Company. They have cooperation projects with Shiweitian, Huanyu and Jiahua, and the relationship between the two parties is relatively close.
Because they are foreign-related enterprises, they have foreign exchange quotas in hand, and there are certain foreign investment tasks that they need to complete every year.
In the 1980s, foreign exchange was so important to the government that domestic companies were very cautious when spending real money on foreign exchange investments for fear of making mistakes.
However, the foreign economic environment is very different from the domestic one at this time. The government has the courage to try the "going out" policy, but as the business leaders involved, who are not trembling with fear, how can they dare to take action easily.
At this time, they heard that the Sun family was going to open a new company and operate a chain of high-end restaurants.
This is good news. Everyone has seen the development of No.9 Hotpot Restaurant and Suiyuijinghao in China. It is really a success to open a branch and say that they are cash cows. It is not an exaggeration at all.
Everyone knows the details of the Sun family, and this is not the first time they have cooperated, so there is no need to worry about things like identity and background.
Anyone familiar with the situation knows that the Sun family's businesses are very profitable, and they are all registered in Hong Kong or abroad. If you can participate in the shares, not only will you not lose money, but you may gain considerable profits.
At the same time, such investment also meets the requirements for foreign investment by state-owned enterprises. Therefore, they have already had this idea and are ready to hit the road.
The business of No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant and Suijing Hao is very booming. Unfortunately, they are not short of money, so they can at most apply for a loan. This is because the bank is chasing after them all day long, so they can’t save face.
No. 9 Hotpot Restaurant and Suiyuijinghao do not raise funds publicly at all, so the two companies of CEFC have no chance to invest in shares with a check in hand.
Now that they heard that No. 9 Hotpot Restaurant and Sewijinghao were joining forces to create a new high-end catering brand, they naturally would not miss the opportunity.
Therefore, Mr. Zhao from Huaxin Trading Company pulled Mr. Fan from Huaxin Travel Company together, and the two of them went to Sun Dahai's home at No. 18 Xihuangchenggen and paid a personal visit.
