Chapter 82 The Idea of ​​Running a Chinese Restaurant

Zhang Jianqiang and the others knew that people like Meng Qingshan already had a clear plan for the path they would take in the future, and it was completely different from the path they planned for themselves.

I had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​asking him to be the vice president of the International Students Mutual Aid Association.

After Meng Qingshan learned of this situation, he took this opportunity to find brothers and sisters among the foreign students, and donated 5000 yuan of party funds to the International Students Mutual Aid Association for the strong reason that he had failed everyone's expectations.

The principals and vice presidents are all sensible people, and they know that Meng Qingshan wants to use this excuse to help his compatriots studying abroad.

The four brothers and sisters discussed and decided to accept the 5000 yuan.

Even if the cost of each meeting is calculated at 200 yuan, the 5000 yuan is enough to support 25 gatherings of Chinese students studying abroad.

In the past few years, every gathering was just a dry chat, always ridiculed by those foreign students for being shabby. Now with these funds, it can also improve the image of Chinese students in the eyes of foreign students.

And seeing that Meng Qingshan was able to take out 5000 yuan without blinking his eyes, he also knew that this was a huge sum of money to them, but it was nothing to Meng Qingshan.

Several senior brothers and sisters expressed their thanks to Meng Qingshan repeatedly, and made it clear that after every meeting in the future, they would give him a statement of expenses to prove that they did not use the money indiscriminately.

Meng Qingshan knew that he had to collect the bill, otherwise it would hurt the self-esteem of several brothers and sisters, so he agreed, and said that everyone should not be reluctant to spend money, and he will provide them with another sum of money before returning to China.

The more he got in touch with overseas students from Huaguo, the more Meng Qingshan felt that it was not easy for his compatriots to study abroad.

After much deliberation, he decided to buy a slightly larger restaurant near the school and open a Chinese restaurant.

Because in the conversation with many foreign students, Meng Qingshan learned that there is no Chinese restaurant within a radius of more than ten kilometers.

Almost all Chinese students who come here are not used to Western food.

For old international students who have been here for a while and are familiar with the environment, buying things and cooking in the dormitory has become a point of conflict between roommates and international students in the same dormitory.

Although many Westerners like to eat Chinese food, they can't accept the oily smoke produced when Chinese food is fried.

Some dormitories can be changed to fellow international students who live together, but most international students are not so lucky, and the roommates are all foreign students.

In order not to make their roommates raise their opinions, Huaguo international students had no choice but to make some cold side dishes instead of cooking.

Meng Qingshan thinks to buy a medium-sized restaurant, recruit a few chefs who can cook Western-style Chinese food, and a professional restaurant manager.

Waiters in other restaurants, authentic Chinese chefs can definitely invite foreign students to cook, and as long as they are overseas students from Huaguo here, come here to eat authentic Chinese food, and the price will be halved.

This will not only allow compatriots to eat delicious meals, but also help solve the problem of work-study programs for many Chinese students who are in urgent need of work.

As for whether the Chinese restaurant is making money, he doesn't care at all. The land and real estate of the restaurant have already been bought, so even if they lose money every year, they won't lose much.

For him now, this little loss every year is nothing but a drop in the bucket, without any pressure, and in the future, when Huaguo overseas students meet again, they can use the venue of the Chinese restaurant for free during the meal time.

As soon as he thought of it, Meng Qingshan called lawyer Williams and asked him to find time to help him buy a medium-sized restaurant near the school.

I thought that Williams would have to finish the work at hand, and he would not be able to take care of this matter in a few days.

Who knew that on the phone, Williams told him that two lawyers had been added to the legal team.

One is Lewis, who specializes in capital market legal affairs, contract disputes and criminal disputes.

The other is Thomson, who is good at financial law, international trade, and has a good understanding of real estate legal affairs. It just so happens that Thomson can handle this matter this time.

Meng Qingshan was very happy to learn that Williams had settled two of the legal team frameworks he needed so quickly, and praised Williams a lot, telling him to leave this matter to lawyer Thomson.

I just need to sign a check to pay after Thomson solves all the problems.

Knowing that it will take some time to buy a Chinese restaurant, it is impossible to get it right away.

Meng Qingshan found Zhang Jianqiang, Cheng Gang and other four brothers and sisters from the International Students Mutual Aid Association again, and told them his thoughts.

Knowing that Meng Qingshan spent such a large amount of money to help fellow overseas students, the brothers and sisters were all stunned.

Everyone is not stupid, knowing that Meng Qingshan will only be an exchange student here for one year and will return to China. To set up such a restaurant is obviously to do his best to help his compatriots.

Zhang Jianqiang tried his best to calm down his excitement, and said to Meng Qingshan:
"Brother Qingshan, brother, I know that your family background is good, but I didn't expect your family background to be so good!
Brothers and sisters know that you want to help everyone as much as you can, but I have to remind you that you may lose money if you do this! "

Both Cheng Gang and Chen Xia will return to China in two years, and Cheng Gang will stay for a longer period of time. He can stay for more than two years but less than three years.

The three of them were also very excited, and Chen Xia also said to Meng Qingshan:
"Brother Qingshan, we are very grateful for what you want to do for our international students. To be honest, we are very happy that you are willing to do this.

But if your family loses money every year because you help us, everyone will feel very sorry. "

Meng Qingshan said with a smile:
"Brothers and sisters, please don't be burdened, I plan to open a restaurant, although it does mean to help fellow citizens.

But I have also considered it. I think that opening this Chinese restaurant may make money and lose money half to half.

In business, there is no reason to make a steady profit without losing money, and I have calculated that even if you lose a little money every year.

My family can still bear such a loss. Besides, as long as the restaurant business can persist, it will make money sooner or later. "

Zhang Jianqiang was silent for a while, then said:

"Anyway, I'm going back to China soon, and I'm the one who has benefited the least from all the people here, so the three of them definitely won't agree to this.

I have the cheek to ask brother Qingshan, please tell the truth, if this restaurant loses money, can your family bear it? "

Hearing Zhang Jianqiang's question, the other three also sat up straight.

To be honest, they really hope that Meng Qingshan's family has enough financial resources to support the opening of this Chinese restaurant.

Because at this time, the Chinese students in the United States had a really difficult living environment, and everyone who went out to work and study had been treated unfairly.

There are even a large number of students who have to work and study in various discriminatory environments.

Although they all won the opportunity to study abroad at public expense, the country is really difficult nowadays, and the money they can afford is only enough to pay half of the cost of studying abroad, and they have to find ways to earn the rest of the cost through work-study programs.

If you can't bear such grievances, you may not even have enough living expenses in the future, let alone complete your studies.

Meng Qingshan didn't say what kind of assets his family had, but he just assured his senior brothers and sisters that even if he opened two Chinese restaurants like this and lost money, it would not affect his family in any way.

Hearing what Meng Qingshan said, the four senior brothers and sisters also let out a long breath.

Zhang Jianqiang slapped his thigh:
"Since this is the case, I, a guy who has not benefited much, thank Brother Qingshan for lending a helping hand on behalf of all brothers!

We are going to find some of the best Chinese food cookers among the foreign students, so that they can even get the lowest level of chefs here.

Being able to work in your Chinese restaurant in a legitimate way will not cause you any extra trouble! "

Meng Qingshan hurriedly said: "Brother Jianqiang can tell them that our restaurant can help him pay for the chef exam.

In the future, it will be deducted according to a certain percentage from their new water! "

Senior sister Chen Xia is a very straightforward northern girl:

"Since everyone has agreed that brother Qingshan will help everyone, there is no need to worry about this matter.

If anyone borrows money from Qingshan Brothers and fails to pass the chef qualification test and cannot repay you, the four of us will help him repay the money! "
