Li Wanshan and Yanhua went to Ganqika for a trip. Sister Yuan also invited Xiaofeng to come and play for two days. Xiaofeng readily agreed and brought Brother Liu with her.
Under the leadership of Sister Yuan and Lao Tan, the group went to Daqinggou, Xiaozhuang Mausoleum, Agula Park, and the racecourse. They visited these scenic spots, ate roasted whole lamb, hand-grilled meat, and watched a bonfire party.
After two days, everyone had a great time, and some of them still had a lot to learn.
Yanzi and Yanhua told Lao Tan about their plan to open a small restaurant. Lao Tan analyzed that Santaizi now lacks a better dumpling restaurant. It can be opened on Songshan Road or Bei Santaizi, and the area should be 200 to 300 square meters.
100 square meters, the total investment does not exceed 400,000, try to recover the cost within one year, keep the business at 3 million in the second year, and make a net profit of 600,000.
Yanzi and Yanhua didn't want to build something so big. What they meant was that the area should be within 100 square meters and the investment should not exceed 50,000.
Lao Tan said: "A small shop of 80 to 100 square meters is not impossible. It can be done. Selling for 30,000 yuan a month can be a big deal. Small restaurants have low costs and low expenses, and they make less money. If it is a mom-and-pop shop, it is okay.
, the couple earns 6,000 to 8,000 yuan a month, and a total of 10,000 yuan is enough to live on."
"If two people cooperate, the one who has to worry about it won't make much money. Don't listen to what I say. As the saying goes, it's hard to work together when doing business. You two are not cooperating now. When you do, you will have disagreements.
, maybe we won’t even be friends, because a small restaurant isn’t worth it.”
Yanzi didn't agree with what Lao Tan said, and asked: "Opening a big hotel requires two people to cooperate, so a big hotel is enough?"
Lao Tan smiled and didn't want to discuss this matter with her, as that would discourage the two of them.
He said: "Let me tell you, a hotel of more than 200 square meters is just right in Santai. It is neither small nor big. It has private rooms and private rooms. It can accommodate all kinds of guests. Put more effort into the decoration and try to make it more comfortable.
The common people can eat for 20 yuan when they go in, but the leaders don’t feel the price has dropped when they go in, and they think they are eating well. This is the best.”
He said to Lao Deng, who was sitting next to Yanhua: "Brother Deng is the section leader. There is no problem with the workers in the factory. They all give the section a face and can come to eat. When you come, take care of you, add dishes and wipe out zeros."
By offering a discount, one is to win over the boss, and the other is to gain face for Brother Deng."
Then he looked at Li Wanshan and Feng Shimin and said: "Brother Li and Brother Feng promise to give their full support, but you two are officials - the people are most annoying to the village chief and secretary. If you know that the secretary's wife owns a restaurant, I promise you won't go there."
"One good thing is that you two have a place to eat." After finishing speaking, Lao Tan smiled.
Although the words are cold and unpleasant, it is the truth.
Then he went on to say: "Brother Li, Brother Feng, you two have felt it yourself. If you two treat guests to dinner, or if others treat you two, can you go to a small restaurant? The people who eat with you are either township cadres or business people.
People with money have power, so you have to find a hotel of similar quality, right?"
"Sister Yan, Yanhua, you two are running a small restaurant. Brother Li and Brother Feng are too embarrassed to take customers to the store, so even if they want to help, they can't help. They have more resources, so they need to use them. I suggest you
The two opened a dumpling restaurant with an area of more than 200 square meters. The dumplings are highly profitable and down-to-earth. Customers are willing to come in once they see the dumpling restaurant. Dumplings are affordable for the common people and even the leaders can eat them. The other three characteristics of the restaurant are that people from Santaizi eat it.
:It’s cheap and affordable, the dumplings warm the stomach, and the drinks are not expensive, right?”
Yanzi and Yanhua nodded, and the others also expressed their approval.
Of course, Lao Tan is just a suggestion, and in the end, people have to make their own decisions. He just came to a conclusion as a friend and through the analysis of the Santaizi catering market from the perspective of a catering person.
If it were him, he would open a dumpling restaurant like this and earn seven to eight thousand yuan a month by opening a small restaurant, which is better than working for others.
Xiaofeng and Liu Ge also suggested that Yanzi and Yanhua do what Lao Tan wants, but this matter involves money, and it is not a small amount. Lao Deng is now in the active stage and agrees to give Yanhua money. Lao Feng has to
Total total.
"Master Tan, if they open a restaurant, they will have to ask for your help." Feng Shimin thought for a moment and said to Lao Tan.
Lao Tan smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. I promise to help. I've provided all the dumpling makers and chefs. I'll teach you how to make them. I'm fully responsible for the human aspect and will personally guide you."
Li Wanshan laughed and said: "I'm just waiting for your words. If they really do it, you must help them. Then you will be the general manager."
Lao Tan smiled and said: "I don't want to be the general manager. The consultant guarantees that it will be mine."
The hotel hasn't been settled right away, so it's not something to rush. Even if it is settled, you have to go back to find the store, pay the rent, then decorate and make preparations. The operation won't be completed within three or two months, and it has to be enjoyable.
In this case, if the house is not suitable, it will take a long time.
The next day, the group was preparing to return to the provincial capital. That night, Lao Tan brought over two new friends he had made here, Bart and Director Wu, and they all had a good time together.
Everyone had a great time during this trip. They enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the grassland, appreciated the customs and customs of the Mongolian people, ate the roasted whole lamb that they longed for, and drank Xama wine. Enjoy the bonfire party.
The joy and the comfortable enjoyment in the yurt left a good impression on them, so that they would visit the grassland every summer in the future.
After seeing off friends from the provincial capital, the Naadam Conference in Banner was held immediately. Since this place is ten miles away from the conference venue, it is very close, and it has become a place where many Sumu and Gacha teams eat and stay. In addition, the osteopathic hospital has already been there for a long time.
I made a reservation, and the rooms were full for five days in a row, the restaurant was full, and business was booming, with a daily turnover of more than 40,000.
Sister Yuan smiled and said to Lao Tan: "It would be great if this happened every day. I would just take this off and do it myself."
Lao Tan said: "It depends on future development. It will be okay if it develops well, but it will be in vain if it does not."
Sister Yuan said: "No, no one can say for sure. This policy can change at any time. Once a gentleman, there will be a minister."
"It will stop when you are done with Naadam. Not many people will come here, and it is far away from the street."
Sister Yuan also expressed the same view.
The fact is indeed the same as what Lao Tan said. As soon as the Naadam Conference ended, the bustling hotel suddenly became deserted. For two days in a row, four people stayed in the hotel every day. There were three small tables in the hotel every day, and there were no more than twelve people in total. The staff
There are more guests than there are.
This is to be expected. On the last day of Naadam, Lao Tan informed the kitchen to purchase less goods and prepare less ingredients to prevent the backlog of raw materials from causing unnecessary waste.
Sister Yuan went home on the weekend and said she would come back next Wednesday and go to the group for meetings on Monday and Tuesday.
After Lao Tan went to Ganqika, Lin Yan and her son resumed their old lives. They got up every morning and made breakfast for their son. After eating, they sent his son to the kindergarten and then went to work.
It’s just that I got home too late from get off work. I couldn’t pick up my son at seven o’clock. As before, brother Li next door would pick him up. If he got off work late, my sister-in-law would pick him up.
Brother Li and his sister-in-law have watched their son grow up. They like him very much and treat him as their own child. His daughter Jiaqi also likes this brother and misses him even if they don't see him for a day. When brother Li picked up his son, he treated Jiaqi as his own child.
He took it with him when he arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten. When his son came out and saw his sister, he would run over happily. The two girls held hands and followed Brother Li home.
The kindergarten teachers thought they were biological sisters.
In addition to Brother Li and his wife who went to pick up their son, sometimes they were unavailable. Brother Li's comrades-in-arms Erping and Li Jian also went to pick him up.
Brother Li, Erping, and Li Jian are regular employees of the aircraft factory. Before joining the factory, they were armed policemen and transferred to work in the aircraft factory. Through Brother Li, Lao Tan and Erping, Li Jian became friends, and the four families got along quite well.
Like brothers.
Erping and Li Jian are both married and have no children yet.
Li Jian is the youngest among the four brothers, like a child. Her partner Lili was introduced to her by Lin Yan. Li Jian is very fond of Lao Tan's son and is the child's godfather.
Erping is older than Li Jiancheng. He has been married for four years and his wife is unemployed at home. He loves to drink and is a pure alcoholic like Lao Tan.
As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, and a close neighbor is not as good as the door. These elderly Tans work in other places, and thanks to Brother Li and the others, they take care of their family.
Lin Yan had two days off on Sunday and took her son to art class. When she came back, her son said, "Mom, other children's homes have big houses. When will our family buy a big house?"
Lin Yan felt very uncomfortable at her son's words.
My son is five years old. He is very sensible. He has never been picky about what he eats or what he wears. At a young age, he knows that his parents are hardworking and he is rarely naughty. Sometimes Lin Yan comes home late from work and gets home at ninety o'clock. After dinner at Brother Li's house, her son takes off his clothes by himself.
Clothes fell asleep.
Every time she saw her son sleeping on the bed with his little face flushed, Lin Yan would have sad and happy tears falling from her eyes.
Lin Yan decided to buy a house.
I called Lao Tan and said, "As long as you keep working, we will buy a house this year."
Lao Tan said: "If you have to buy it, buy it. I can work here until the Spring Festival, and I will find another job after the Spring Festival."
Lin Yan was a little annoyed and worried and said: "After buying the house, our family will not have much money left. Your son also said that he wants a big house, not a small one. After buying the house, you will be laid off and will not make any money, so you will have to rely on me alone."
After paying off the mortgage with salary, there will be nothing left. When the time comes, your son won’t even be able to drink milk. It’s up to you how you deal with it.”
Lao Tan said with a smile: "Don't worry and buy it boldly. I'll give you two ladies a chance to drink the northwest wind. Money is not an issue. I have an easy job, so just buy it."
Although he doesn't care about money, he has a general understanding of his family's financial situation.
Buying a house is a big deal, and the couple has unanimous views.
Isn't it that after working all these years, I just want to have a house in the provincial capital and settle down and work happily?
How can you settle down without a house, and how can you work happily without settling down?
Buying a house is officially on the agenda. Although Lao Tan is not at home, he must strongly support it.
Lin Yan looked at three second-hand houses and one new house, but was not satisfied. The main reason was that these four houses were not on Songshan Road. She has lived on Songshan Road for nearly ten years and has feelings for this place. She doesn't want to leave and is planning to stay here.
Buy a house on the road.
Nowadays, the house prices in Songshan Road are astonishingly high, with a minimum price of RMB 6,000.
Lin Yan planned to buy an old two-bedroom apartment, which cost 50 to 60 square meters, and was enough for a family of three. But after seeing the new two-bedroom apartment, her heart felt happy, and her son also said in a childlike voice that he liked big houses, so she decided to buy it.
Two new rooms.
The new two-bedroom apartment has a large area, the kitchen, bathroom, and living room are all spacious, making it comfortable to live in, but it also costs a lot of money.
After buying the house, I have no money to renovate it.
Lin Yan wants to buy a second-hand house with similar decoration and not renovate it yet. She can live in it for a few years and then renovate it when her house is more spacious. Her son is five years old, so there is no rush. The house can be lived in until his son goes to college. It may not be possible until his son graduates from college.
It doesn't matter what you do, or where you work, as long as the house is big enough for an elderly couple to live in.
After buying the house, I will continue to save money to support my son’s education, and then buy a house for my son when he gets married. This will be the mission accomplished in this life.
Hey, you still have to work, you can’t be idle.
My son spends money every day, including milk, bread, and kindergarten fees. He grows up quickly. The clothes he bought in the first half of the year will be too small to wear in the second half of the year. He still has to buy them. Children's clothes are so expensive. They are more expensive than adults' clothes. You can't look at others.
Ask your children to look at their children when they wear them.
You also have to enroll in cram schools, interest classes, and learn art, dance, music, and English. This all costs money, which is nearly a thousand a month.
A family of three has to pay for food, clothing, water, electricity, gas, rice, noodles, vegetables, oil, salt, soy and vinegar, favors, and everything. Three or four thousand a month is simply not enough.
It's okay for Lao Tan to work. He earns a lot, has enough money to spend, and still has some money left to pay off the mortgage. If he doesn't go to work, it will be in vain, and he won't be able to support himself at all.
Now the efficiency of cold chain logistics is pretty good, and I am familiar with it, but the salary is low, 3,500, and fortunately, I have to pay three insurances and one fund.
An old logistics company has more than 5,000 yuan a month. When can I earn something?
Brother Li gave a lot of advice when buying a house, saying that it is best to buy on Songshan Road. This is a prosperous area in Santaizi, with potential and a lot of room for appreciation. When the time comes, if you want to change the house, it will be easier to sell without losing money.
