Yanhua and Yanzi drove to the store they wanted to rent on Taishan Road.
There used to be a Japanese restaurant here, but it was closed after two years of operation without making any money.
The boss is the landlord, and he has been renting out the property for 300,000 yuan, and also charges a transfer fee of 200,000 yuan. He wants to earn back some of the money spent on the original renovation, so as to avoid losing money.
If this is the case, renting the store would cost 500,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the cost of a Huangshan Road store including rent and decoration, which is not cost-effective.
This was the third time that Yanhua and Yanzi came to negotiate. The conditions they gave were to take 350,000 yuan and sign a five-year contract. After five years, they would have priority in renting the house and the rent would increase to 350,000 yuan.
Of course the boss refused to accept this condition, but he also relaxed and the transfer fee was reduced from 200,000 to 150,000.
"Boss Cao, I accept the rent of 300,000 yuan. After all, the location is here and the price is the same. But I open a dumpling restaurant, Chinese food, and yours used to be a Japanese restaurant. All the decorations and kitchen equipment are not needed.
It needs to be replaced and renovated. So the transfer fee is a bit high. I still said it as before, the rent is 300,000 yuan and the transfer fee is 50,000 yuan." Yanhua said neither humble nor overbearing.
Boss Cao said: "I spent 400,000 yuan on the decoration of this store. It has only been built for two years and is made of real wood. If you build a dumpling restaurant, my style is also suitable. The front hall barely moves, just for decoration."
Install the kitchen.”
Yanhua smiled and said: "You have to move everything, leave nothing behind, your family's style is not in line with mine."
"In this case, the transfer fee is 120,000." Boss Cao lowered it by another 30,000.
"I can only give you fifty thousand." Yanhua said with a smile.
Boss Cao looked at Yanzi, as if he wanted to know what Yanzi meant. Yanzi didn't smile, and his beautiful face had an expression that said he wouldn't even give 50,000 yuan.
Looking at the two beautiful women in front of him, Boss Cao felt a little helpless, and a hint of anger gradually rose in his heart. He wanted to rent it for 350,000 yuan, and just wait.
So he lowered his face and said, "That's no good, I can't rent it to you."
Yanhua still smiled and said politely: "Okay, I won't bother you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out without any regret or intention of staying.
"Let's go talk about the next house." Yanzi said and walked away.
Boss Cao stood there in a daze for a moment. He wanted to call Yanhua and the two of them, but in the end he didn't say anything. He had already said it to death, so why did he have the nerve to call her away?
After Yanhua and Yanzi came out, they went directly to the intersection of Taishan Road and Changjiang Street. There was a restaurant there for cash out, but the location was a bit remote, not as prosperous as here, a bit like the Chishan Road store.
This store covers an area of 360 square meters. The rent is 200,000 yuan, the transfer fee is 50,000 yuan, and the rent is due in two months.
The location there is not as good as Boss Cao's store. For a restaurant owner, I would rather spend more money to rent Boss Cao's store than rent there.
Doing business requires the right time, location, and people.
The weather is just right for Ah Qiao Dumpling Restaurant. People like to eat dumplings, and Ah Qiao’s model is suitable for the current consumption concept. In addition, health wine is accepted by people, and regular customers have become addicted to it, and it is not expensive.
, and it also has a nourishing effect, who doesn’t like it.
Needless to say, the two bosses and Lao Tan have a close relationship with each other. There is no barrier between them. The senior management and middle managers are very united and treat the hotel as their own home, which is very rare. The employees are also united.
I would like to work here.
This is mainly due to the boss's generosity and structure.
Many people do not understand and always regard money as good. Money is indeed a good thing, and we all know that the more the better. But there is a "more" method for having more. It does not mean that you can have more by reducing expenses, nor can you save money.
from.
As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and acquires it in a proper way. The accumulation of wealth must win the hearts of the people.
When we do something, we must first consider three points.
Is this something you like? Many people spend their whole lives doing things they don’t like, and waste their lives when they get old.
Is this thing beneficial to the people? This is not a high-profile matter, but a practical issue. Only when it is beneficial to the people can there be consumption and make money. Opening a restaurant is convenient for the people to eat, the food is delicious and not expensive, and it feels better than cooking it at home.
It’s affordable to eat, and there’s no restaurant that doesn’t make money.
Can you persist in this matter for more than ten years? Persistence is victory. This saying makes sense. Spend ten years doing something you like and that is beneficial to the people. After ten years, the blessing you will receive is wealth and success.
.
Everyone understands the simple truth, but few can do it. If so, then the old saying goes, "A three-year-old can know it, but an 80-year-old man can't do it." Why? It means that we know too much and can do it.
Too little too little.
If you understand everything and do nothing, if you still can't persist after doing it, you can only fail.
There is no secret to success. It is nothing more than moving in the right direction, persevering, gritting your teeth when you are tired, and standing tall. After that, you will be greeted by flowers and applause.
Ah Qiao Dumpling Restaurant has the right time, right people, and as for the right location, there is an example of the Chishan Road store there. Yanhua believes that as long as it is well run, it can make money anywhere, so it just depends on what it does.
Business is done by people, and some places seem to be dead spots. No one can do it. Maybe she can do it by herself. This is not to say that she is great. She believes that as long as the location is not too far away and has a certain amount of customer flow,
With honest management, unique characteristics, large quantities and affordable prices, delicious food and affordable prices, coupled with warm and thoughtful service, we will definitely make it happen.
Yanhua parked the car on the road opposite the store, got out of the car, and stood there looking at the store and the surrounding environment.
She was familiar with this place. When she first came to the provincial capital, she worked on Taishan Road, which is where she met Lao Tan. Taishan Road was not so prosperous at that time, and the Rose Hotel where she worked was a relatively large hotel on this street.
Boss Cao's restaurant is located in the center of Taishan Road, which is a prime location, not to mention its geographical location. This restaurant is located at the corner of the west of Taishan Road, behind the Institute of Social Sciences and the Provincial Family Planning Commission, and behind it is the 33rd Middle School
, and further behind is the residential area.
To the south is Taishan Community and to the north is Shahezi Community. Both communities are very large, with more than 30,000 residents.
There are shops on both sides, including supermarkets, restaurants, beauty salons, pharmacies, and businesses.
"This place is good, let's start working. See, the parking lot is enough. Nowadays, everyone who eats drives, because they are afraid that the hotel will not have a parking lot." Yanzi said.
"Yes, that's ok. Our restaurant is a dumpling restaurant, so it's better to be closer to a residential area. We all rely on the residents of this community for food. Boss Cao's shop is good. It's next to the Provincial Government Building and close to Beiling Park. The customer flow is guaranteed to be constant.
Yes, we will definitely make money. But our family is more suitable here, and our development will be as good as his place." Yanhua said.
"Go in and talk?" Yanzi asked.
"What did the boss say when you last talked?" Yanhua asked.
"The boss wants to pay 50,000 yuan for the transfer fee and two months' rent. He wants to finish the job. He is making money now, but he has been working for a long time. The couple feels tired and needs to take a rest." Yanzi said.
"Oh." Yanhua nodded, thought for a moment and said, "He still has to work for two months. Don't worry. Have you met the landlord?"
"No, I didn't plan to rent here at that time, and I didn't ask in detail. I just said the rent would be 200,000 yuan," Yanzi said.
"Meet with the landlord and have a talk. If everything is settled, then talk to the boss. If it works, I'll give him a transfer fee of 60,000 yuan and ask him to stop working for two months." Yanhua said boldly.
"I've been thinking about it this way too." Yanzi smiled, "Leave this matter to me and contact the landlord after that."
"The Hohhot store will open in July. As soon as the project over there is completed, we will renovate the store here. We will try to open it in July and August, and we will try to open it in October," Yanhua said.
"This store opened this year and the task of two stores has been completed. Do you want to go out and relax?" Yanzi asked with a smile.
"Relax? Where to go?" Yanhua asked.
"October is okay, let's go to the beach."
"Let's talk about it then. Last time, Lao Tan said that there is a CEO class in Beijing that is very good. I thought we should go and learn from it," Yanhua said.
Yanzi suppressed his words, then smiled and said, "Beijing is fine, too. I went there when I was a kid. It's fun this time."
"You're spending your own money. Let me tell you, our family's account now only has 1.78 million, and there is no travel expenses." Yanhua said in shock.
"Just pick it------"
Three days later, Yanzi successfully negotiated the store. The boss did not ask for the additional transfer fee of 10,000 yuan, but shortened the operating period by one month and handed over the house at the end of June.
After the negotiation at the store, Yanzi had nothing to do. It happened that Zhongqing had trained three dumpling workers and a chopping board and was going to send them to Hohhot. So she took the four employees and Yanhua's thoughts about Lao Tan to Hohhot.
.
The kitchen here in Hohhot has been completed, and the front desk will be completed in 20 days.
Lao Tan is not idle these days. He sits and gives instructions because of his inconvenient legs and feet. At the same time, he trains new employees and guides Yang Zhijun in preparing health wine.
Health wine is the highlight of the dumpling restaurant. We don’t rely on it to make money, but mainly to attract customers. People in Inner Mongolia love to drink liquor, so I guess the sales of health wine are better than those in provincial cities.
After Yang Zhijun and Mulan came back from the provincial capital with their fellow students, Yaru went back to the dormitory. Although nothing happened to the two of them, living in the same room had a bad influence. They were all gossips, so try to avoid gossip.
Lao Tan was injured and could not always be at the scene. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Yaru helped him go back. Now he does not need to use crutches, he can take small steps, walk for a while and rest for a while.
When Lao Tan came to Hohhot, it was still chilly in April, but now it is June and very hot. Yaru bought him a pair of large pants, which are cool and convenient to wear. But the scars on his legs are a bit disturbing.
Afraid, winding like a crawling centipede, coupled with his bandit appearance and bald head, he doesn't look like a boss at first sight, so there are still people who believe in the underworld.
"When I met you, you looked like a bandit, not a good person." Yaru said, putting the cooked dumplings on the dining table, then turned back to the kitchen to get a bowl.
"Haha, half a lifetime--" Old Tan said, going to get the wine bottle.
Yaru came out with the bowl and saw Lao Tan pouring wine into the cup. She rolled her eyes and said, "I will never forget that little wine of yours!"
"It's better to feed the dogs than to eat dumplings without drinking alcohol. The more you drink, the more you drink." Lao Tan said with a smile.
"It's better to feed the dog. The doctor didn't tell you that your blood pressure is high? He didn't tell you to drink." Yaru Lai said.
"Then you will buy it for me?"
"Aren't you greedy?"
"You still feel sorry for me."
"Go away, I can't control you. Just drink, and if something goes wrong after drinking, you'll be fine. It'll be up to you to fix it, no one will care about you."
When Yaru said this, she looked like a young daughter-in-law who was quarreling with her husband, which made Old Tan stunned for a moment. Looking at Yaru, he felt a little dazed, as if he saw the little girl back then------
"You also have a drink today and stay with me." Lao Tan quickly came to his senses and poured Yaru a drink.
Yaru put a dumpling into Lao Tan's bowl, pushed the peanuts forward, and said: "Drinkers are shameless. When it hurts, they swear they will never drink again. When they are done, they will forget everything. Just drink it."
Wrong, you are from that group and have not changed."
"Hey, you are used to this." Lao Tan joked.
"I'm used to you, it's okay------I'll have a drink with you."
Yaru said with a smile, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Lao Tan.
