Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 324 Ants and Elephants

The main customers of high-end ingredients are not actually those rich people.

Because the ingredients are different from those high-end luxury goods, this stuff cannot be delivered directly to customers, and it needs to be processed to a certain extent before it can be turned into exquisite food.

So in fact, apart from a small number of ingredients that can be eaten directly or that are simple to cook, the mainstream customers of many other high-end ingredients are actually those who are proficient in cooking.

These people are not only chefs, but also housewives from middle-class families, and some gourmets who know how to cook!
Because for ordinary people, the most direct reflection of high-end ingredients is probably the price.

The so-called high-end ingredients are not only high in nutritional value and good in taste, but also high in price.

The price of a dish is the income of an ordinary person for a month or a year or even higher, which is absolutely unacceptable for ordinary people.

Just like the private meal that Chen Li took his sister to eat in the previous life, the four of them spent almost 8000 yuan, but Chen Li felt distressed for a whole year afterwards.

It wasn't just because the food that time made him dissatisfied, what made him even more depressed was the price of those dishes!

So ~ no matter what, as long as the word high-end is involved, it will definitely not be cheap.

And the yellow feather chicken that has been systematically improved is definitely considered a high-end chicken.

So ~ it is conceivable that the price of this yellow feather chicken is absolutely impossible to be cheap.

There is actually another reason why Chen Li doesn't sell yellow feather chickens at the moment, that is, he doesn't know what the price should be.

The system is also ignorant, and it can't give Chen Li any reference price at all, so the pricing power of this thing is completely in Chen Li's hands.

But Chen Li in his previous life was just an ordinary person. Where did he come into contact with high-end ingredients?

He has eaten some abalone lobster caviar, but these things cannot be used as a reference target for yellow feather chicken.

My family knows their own affairs. Although the quality of this yellow feather chicken is quite good as an ingredient, it does not have much technical content in essence.

The quality of the yellow feather chicken is so good, it is the credit of their system.

Compared with those researchers who worked so hard to breed new breeds of chicks, the yellow-feathered chicken that Chen Li got from the system was somewhat too easy.

Chen Li only needs to feed the chickens in the system space, shovel chicken feces and so on, and after a while, he will get the improved yellow-feathered chicken.

This guy~ just has such a problem!If it wasn't something that was obtained through hard work, people might not feel how cherished this thing is.

So in Chen Li's view, this yellow feather chicken is certainly a good thing, but if you compare it with things like abalone, shark's fin and bird's nest, it must be incomparable.

Chen Li felt that this yellow-feathered chicken must be better than ordinary native chickens, and naturally it would be more expensive than native chickens.

But how expensive should it be?At present, Chen Li has not come up with a specific charter.

In his previous life, Chen Li had read some novels, in which the food grown by the protagonist, the poultry and so on could be sold for sky-high prices.

But that's because, in those novels, it is set that the things produced by the protagonist almost all have some special effects.

For example, it can make people younger, more beautiful, etc.

Some exaggerated ones even have the effect of curing diseases, and even some outrageous ones, terminal illnesses are not incurable!

It is also based on these reasons that although Chen Li thinks it is a bit nonsense, at least there is an explanation for it. No matter how expensive this kind of thing is, it still makes sense.

But the yellow feather chicken has no such effect!
Although Chen Li had seen the nutritional test of yellow feather chicken given by the system before, it was indeed much higher than ordinary chicken, but this chicken definitely had no special effect.

Therefore, the sky-high price of chicken is definitely impossible!
In fact, the yellow-feathered chickens in the chicken farm are not without prices, but the price is not directly set for the yellow-feathered chickens.

In the farmhouse restaurant of the chicken farm, most of the dishes are made of white feather chickens.

But there is one dish that must be yellow feather chicken!
That is. Chicken Soup!
Uh~ That's right, the name of this dish is Chicken Soup.

In fact, the names of all the dishes in the farmhouse are quite unpretentious!
This native chicken soup is made with yellow feather chicken and shiitake mushrooms, and the taste is simply amazing.

Deng Weimin of Xuehua loves this dish the most. Every time he takes his subordinates to the farmhouse for dinner, he must order this dish.

This buddy not only eats at the farmhouse, but even packs it home.

As for the reason, it was probably because the employees had a dinner party, and the company's accounts were used.

If Deng Weimin paid for it personally, this guy might not choose this dish.

Because the price of this chicken soup is as high as 168 yuan!
Maybe some people will say, a big pot of real chicken soup costs less than 200 yuan, and it’s still not expensive in a farmhouse outside?
Indeed, if it is 20 years later, the local chicken soup stewed from a chicken weighing about four catties in an outside restaurant will cost 200 yuan. It is really not expensive!
Even if it can be guaranteed that this is a real local chicken stew, Chen Li may still feel that he has earned it.

After all, at that time, native chickens in the vegetable market sold for 30 yuan a catty, and those things were not real native chickens, at most they were free-range chickens that had been raised for a while.

But the problem is that this f*ck is [-]!

In these days, the living expenses of a college student are only two or three hundred yuan.

A chicken soup, drinking a month's living expenses of a college student?This is somewhat extravagant.

Of course~ For Deng Weimin, given his wealth and income, it is naturally affordable.

But ~ even a high-income group like Deng Weimin still feels that Chen Li's price for that chicken soup is a bit expensive.

The "expensive" he thinks does not simply refer to the price of 168 yuan. Deng Weimin has never tasted more expensive dishes.

Deng Weimin came up with the idea of ​​"expensive" because of the environment of the farmhouse and the main ingredient of this dish is chicken!

If it is abalone, sea cucumber and lobster, the price of 168 yuan is naturally nothing.

But when this dish is made of chicken, it makes Deng Weimin have some worthless thoughts!

You must know that the price level of these years is really not high!

Take Erlong Town as an example, the price of pork has fallen instead of rising, and has fallen to three yuan a catty.

If you go later, you can even buy it for two yuan and five.

This is because there was an outbreak of swine fever in many places in China some time ago, which directly caused the price of pork, which was eager to try and was very likely to rise, to fall back all of a sudden.

Similarly, if there is swine fever, there is chicken fever and even all kinds of bird flu!
Basically, every time something like this breaks out, the price of the corresponding ingredients will plummet.

In addition, there is also the influence of the supply relationship. When the productivity is greater than the consumption, the price will naturally fall accordingly.

Anyway, Chen Li vaguely remembered that the price of pork was between 3 yuan and 5 yuan, and it seemed to last for many years!

As for how and when the price went up later, Chen Li couldn't remember.

This is to reflect the current consumption level.

Pork costing three yuan a catty in Erlong Town must be more than enough in Yanjing, but no matter how expensive it is, it is not much more expensive.

The same is true for chickens!
Although the concept of native chicken has been accepted by many people these days, the price of native chicken is not as high as later.

As for a native chicken soup in Nongjiale, it is calculated on the basis of about four catties of a native chicken, and an average of 40 yuan per catty.

Of course, the price of food will also vary due to various factors such as cooking methods, craftsmanship, and the size, environment, and grade of the restaurant.

But the farmhouse of the ideal chicken farm is almost at a very low level in these conditions.

However, the price of this native chicken soup has reached a very high level, which makes people somewhat speechless.

What's even more ridiculous is that the other dishes of the farmhouse are relatively normal.

Even though dishes such as big plate chicken and turkey are higher than those in small restaurants, they are special dishes after all, so it is not incomprehensible.

But only this local chicken soup made Deng Weimin quite incomprehensible.

Because the price of this dish is too conspicuous, it is obviously different from other dishes by more than one grade!
So ~ Deng Weimin reminded Chen Li out of kindness.

But it didn't work at all!
Although Chen Li accepted Deng Weimin's kindness, Chen Li ignored his reminder.

Because Chen Li planned to use this chicken soup as the signature of the farmhouse from the very beginning.

Whether the ideal farmhouse can blossom all over the country in the future depends on this chicken soup.

Although Deng Weimin thinks that the 168 local chicken soup is not worth it now, Chen Li dares to assure that in the future, Deng Weimin will definitely be "proud" that he can often drink the local chicken soup from the ideal chicken farm!
Of course~ this is all Chen Li's imagination!

Before the ideal chicken farm's yellow-feather chickens can be opened to the market, Chen Li needs to sell the yellow-feather chickens first.

And this Chef Gong happened to be such a person who could help Chen Li open up the market.

So today, Chen Li, who was originally invited by Zhou Xiaoli's father, turned out to focus on making friends with Chef Gong.

Of course, Chen Li didn't show it too clearly, he still understands the worldly ways.

It's just that he was somewhat worried about Zhou Xiaoli's father. He was very worried that this wealthy real estate businessman would give his idea to his small fried chicken shop.

But there is a very inexplicable law in this world, which is called what you are afraid of!
When the lunch of the day was almost finished, Chef Gong made a cup of jasmine for Chen, Li and everyone.

Originally, Chen Li was still rejoicing that nothing unpleasant happened today, and he actually gained something, which made Chen Li very happy.

But at this moment, Zhou Bowen suddenly held his purple clay pot and said:
"Little Chen~!"

"Your fried chicken shop is really good!"

"I heard from Xiao Li that you plan to expand the scale to [-] branches this year?"

"Hmm~ Your idea of ​​occupying the market in advance is very good!"

"But according to the current scale of development of your fried chicken restaurant, it may not be easy to achieve this goal, right?"

There is nothing wrong with Zhou Bowen's words. It is already April, but the fried chicken restaurant opened a branch not as fast as expected.

This is mainly because Chen Li put all his energy into the matter of the Y[-]K patch some time ago.

In addition to the first month of school, there were a lot of miscellaneous things, so the separate expansion of the ideal fried chicken restaurant was somewhat affected.

And most importantly, in order to expand the scale of the chicken farm, Chen Li embezzled a sum of money from the ideal fried chicken shop.

This is actually the biggest reason why the expansion of Ideal Fried Chicken Shop is hindered!
Of course~ Chen Li embezzled money from the fried chicken shop, and that was because he had greeted Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli.

In fact, this sum of money can be regarded as a loan from Ideal Fried Chicken to Ideal Chicken Farm.

Although the bosses of these two companies are both Chen Li, because Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli are the shareholders of Ideal Fried Chicken, Chen Li has to give an explanation.

Because Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli are only the shareholders of the ideal chain fried chicken, and the ideal chicken farm is Chen Li's private property.

Now, Ideal Chicken Farm and Ideal Fried Chicken are actually a cooperative relationship!
Ideal chicken farm. It can be regarded as a supplier of ideal fried chicken!
However, because Chen Li borrowed this money, the expansion speed of the branch of Ideal Chain Fried Chicken was greatly restricted.

This is actually affecting the interests of shareholders in disguise!
Of course~ Neither Su Mei nor Zhou Xiaoli have any objections.

But Zhou Bowen, as a veteran real estate businessman, could see the irregularities here at a glance.

So when he said this, he was actually trying to wake up Chen Li.

Although he didn't say it clearly, he believed that Chen Li should understand.

After all, this is the end of the story, if Chen Li still doesn't understand, then it really can't be called "young and promising".

In fact, Chen Li did understand. He frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Zhou Bowen's awakening.

Yes ~ Dissatisfied!

Because from the very beginning, he had already discussed with the two of them in advance when he pulled Sumei and Zhou Xiaoli to buy shares.

After the two become shareholders, they are responsible for working and getting money!
As for the management of the company~ the two must not interfere!

At that time, the two agreed well, but at this moment Zhou Bowen suddenly mentioned it. What does it mean?
So ~ people ~ the first impression is actually very important!
Because of Zhou Bowen's status as a real estate businessman, Chen Li actually had a bad impression of him.

This difference does not mean that Chen Li has a bad impression of Zhou Bowen. In fact, he thinks Zhou Bowen is quite interesting.

But in Chen Li's eyes, Zhou Bowen, a real estate businessman, is a hungry wolf who is always coveting the ideal fried chicken restaurant.

Chen Li even secretly asked Zhou Xiaoli whether the Zhou family's real estate business has encountered any trouble recently, so he wants to change careers!
But in the end the answer he got was no!
In fact, this is also normal. As long as the real estate business is not messed around these days, it is really easy to do.

But no matter what, in Chen Li's eyes, it was absolutely impossible for this boss Zhou to be anything good.

So now that Zhou Bowen mentioned this, Chen Li couldn't help but think a little more.

He thought for a while, and said with some hesitation:

"Uh~ The fried chicken shop is currently operating fairly well."

"Next, I plan to speed up the development of fried chicken restaurants."

"I don't know Uncle Zhou, do you have any good suggestions?"

Chen Li was testing, and at the same time reminding the other party that he could speak directly if he had anything to say.

Chen Li's posture is very upright. After all, he is just a small fried chicken shop owner now. When facing a big boss like Zhou Bowen, he still needs to have the respect he should have.

The invincible protagonist in novels can almost only exist in novels.

The real reality is that when you're dealing with people who are several levels above you... you habitually put yourself down.

And like Chen Li, with the advantage of rebirth and the blessing of the system, at best he can only be neither humble nor overbearing.

There is no way~ For a "big man" like Zhou Bowen, it is a bit exaggerated to say that Chen Li can be crushed to death with one hand, but the other party may cause ideal fried chicken to encounter a lot of trouble with a single phone call.

After all~ this guy is in the real estate industry!

But when it comes to Zhou Bowen, he seems to be very satisfied with Chen Li's attitude.

Neither humble nor overbearing, with the vigor of a young man, but not as obsequious as some others.

That's great!

So Zhou Bowen took a sip of the purple sand pot, and then said:
"The fried chicken shop is really well managed by you!"

"I heard that you let Xiao Zhang keep training new employees, which is very good!"

"After all, with the operation model of Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant, talent reserve is the most important thing!"

"However, one of the shackles that plagues the development of Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant is not the staff reserve, but the funds, a lot of funds!"

"Actually, Xiao Chen, your vision is very good!"

"You have made a plan for [-] branches, and you have been making relevant talent reserves, so as long as you have enough funds and suitable stores, you will soon be able to open the ideal fried chicken to the streets and alleys of Yanjing. "

"And you are so impatient, you actually want to occupy a certain market share in advance before other people enter the market."

"This idea is very forward-looking~ This is also what I am quite optimistic about you!"

"So... you take this!"

Zhou Bowen took out a note from his pocket, but when Zhou Bowen handed over the note, Chen Li suddenly found that it was a check.

Chen Li glanced at the numbers above!

"Ho~!" A full 100 million!

To be honest~ It's not that Chen Li has never seen a check, but this is the first time he has seen a check with such a large amount of 100 million!

Although the millennium bug was sold for 2100 million US dollars, that money has not been transferred back to China yet!
So ~ Seeing the 100 million check, Chen Li's heart beat a little faster.

But in fact, Chen Li seemed quite calm at the moment, because he was about to own tens of millions of dollars, so he was not so surprised by the 100 million!
The reason why the heartbeat speeded up a little bit is purely a normal human reaction to money.

The face of a million checks. I still have to give some.

"Uncle Zhou~ What do you mean?"

A puzzled expression appeared on Chen Li's face, and then he looked at Zhou Bowen in puzzlement and said:
"If you want to buy Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant, this price is not acceptable!"

After saying this, Chen Li laughed himself first.

But the smile was a bit forced, because in Chen Li's heart at the moment, he thought that Zhou Bowen was planning to forcefully buy Ideal Fried Chicken?

Uh~ It's always been played like this on TV!

A company worth tens of millions, but some villains will buy it if they just give it 80.

If you don't sell it, then there will be all kinds of trouble waiting for Chen Li, and it may even threaten Chen Li's personal safety.

Hmm~ I have to say that Chen Li has a rich imagination.

But Zhou Bowen was taken aback when he heard Chen Li's words, and then he pondered for a few seconds, and finally realized it!
"Ah? Xiao Chen, where do you want to go?"

"I said how do you feel that your attitude towards me is somewhat wrong today!"

"At first I thought it was because you met for the first time, that's why you did this. But later on, I saw that you and Lao Gong got along very well!"

"I'm also wondering if Xiao Li said something bad about me in front of you, which caused your misunderstanding of my impression."

"Now it seems. Are you worried about my idea of ​​an ideal fried chicken restaurant?"

After many years of ups and downs in the business world, Zhou Bowen, who has some understanding of people's hearts, quickly understood Chen Li's thoughts.

After reacting, Zhou Bowen was a little dumbfounded.

He obviously had good intentions and wanted to support this junior who he liked very much, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood by the other party, and this matter caused a lot of trouble!
"This money~ I lent you!"

"With this 100 million, follow the plan you made before."

"I believe that with your business acumen, you will soon be able to build Ideal Fried Chicken to a large scale."

"Of course~ You still have to type the IOU!"

After talking about his real purpose, Zhou Bowen took advantage of the opportunity to make a joke.

He originally wanted to make Chen understand the situation. He thought that Chen Li might be a little embarrassed after making a misunderstanding.

But in fact, Chen Li is really not embarrassed!

No~ Strictly speaking, Chen Li can't care about embarrassment at this moment!
In fact, Chen Li's business experience is very shallow. He has been crossing the river by feeling the stones until now.

So Chen Li has always been very careful, he was careful to test the path he was going to take in the future.

But at this moment, when he realized that Zhou Bowen was not planning on a fried chicken restaurant, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he quickly pulled back and deleted the messy tricks and bad tricks in his mind.

Although compared with Zhou Bowen's elephant, he may be regarded as an ant, but who said that an ant can't kill an elephant?

After all, Chen Li is a reborn person, and he still has a system in his hands. No matter who wants to bite his own flesh, Chen Li must at least lose all his teeth!

Of course~ the current situation is actually the best!

Harmonious development!
But this money!
Chen Li looked at the 100 million check again, stretched out his hand and pushed the check back.

"Thank you Uncle Zhou~!"

"I did think too much before, I'm sorry ~ Uncle Zhou!"

"But the money is still useless!"

"I've found a new investor!"

"In a few days, Ideal Fried Chicken will receive its first venture capital investment!"

"Amount is"

"200 dollars!"
