The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 115 The Wife Is Awkward
Yanhua and Yanzi made up their minds to exchange the customs of the neighbors, and now they are in the final stage of negotiation.

Xiangtu Renqing signed a five-year contract with the landlord. It has been in operation for three years and there are two more years left.The annual rent is 26, and the boss invested 500,000 in the decoration, and prepared to exchange 300,000.

Although the tables, chairs, benches and kitchen equipment inside are probably new, they are definitely not worth 300,000, so Yanhua and Yanzi don't plan to give those money.But the boss bites hard, because he can see that Yanhua and the others really want to make a profit.

So the negotiations reached an impasse.

The next year's rent will be paid by the end of July, and if the rent cannot be paid, the landlord will take the house back, so the boss who speaks of local customs is also in a difficult situation.

It is not profitable to continue to operate, and it is unwilling to exchange at a low price.

With the experience of exchanging stores for the last two times, Yanhua and Yanzi are not in a hurry at this time.

Of course, some owners who want to be restaurants used to talk to the owners of local customs, but they were all afraid of the transfer fee of 300,000 yuan and the rent of 26 yuan. What about a hot restaurant?what to do?

This street has Chinese food, hot pot, barbecue, and Sichuan and Hunan restaurants. Don’t worry about dumplings. Who can do Aqiao?
If you don't do catering and do other things, there is no need to rent such a large storefront.

It is not easy to exchange out.

In August, the landlord began to urge to pay the rent, and the local boss couldn't stand it any longer.

At this time, Lao Tan came back from home, his body recovered, he was full of spirits, and he devoted himself to the negotiation in a full state, and finally won the store at a price of 120,000.

After the storefront was settled, we negotiated with the landlord to extend the lease term to 15 years. After five years, the rent would increase by 20.00%, and in the tenth year, we would renegotiate according to the actual situation.

After negotiating with the landlord, I rented a warehouse in the surrounding area, and moved all the tables, chairs, benches, and kitchen equipment in the store. The entire storefront became an empty house, and I began to find the original decoration company to redesign.

The local customs and the dumpling restaurant are connected together, and there is a wall between the roads.Now the two have become one family, with a total area of ​​[-] square meters, a very large storefront.

This time, the design requires a [-]-square-meter business store, a small central kitchen, an office area, and a warehouse.

These are difficult for Lao Tan, but not a problem for professional decoration designers. After actual inspection and measurement, they took a week to get the renderings out.

Lao Tan, Yanhua, and Yanzi are very satisfied with the renderings.

It retains the original style of Aqiao Dumpling Restaurant in appearance, it looks like an expanded dumpling restaurant, without excessive high-end atmosphere, it is still as down-to-earth and approachable as before.

The first half of the entire first floor is a scattered platform, and the second half is an open kitchen, a small central kitchen and a warehouse.The first half of the second floor is a private room, and the second half is an office area, meeting room, and training room.

The whole design is simple and clear, the layout is reasonable, the structure is compact, and it does not appear crowded.

After the decoration of such a restaurant is completed, it will be the existence of Beisantaizi after the Kanto people.

After finalizing the renderings, on August 15th, the old dumpling restaurant closed down and started renovation.

This time, the renovation period is short, [-] days, and we have to open in late October.The employees of the old store are temporarily on vacation, and those who don’t want to go home can go to work in the new store. Li Shuang, Huaqing, Tuya and Xiao Gao arrange it.

Here we review the history of Aqiao Dumpling Restaurant from its beginning to today.

It opened in April [-], and it has changed from one store to two in more than two years.

The monthly turnover of each store is 300,000. This turnover is a miracle for a small store of [-] square meters. Most people dare not think about it, but Ah Qiao did it.

With 10,000 yuan a day, many catering people find it incredible and think that there is moisture.If calculated according to this ratio, the 160,000 square meters of the house in Kanto is [-] times that of the dumpling restaurant, and it should sell [-] per day.

People in the Kanto region spend [-] a day at their best, and usually [-], which is already very good.

The total investment of the two stores is 65.So far the net profit is 500,000, excluding the total investment of 65, the net profit is 75, and there are two stores.

The decoration plus rent was invested in 600,000, which is equivalent to only earning 150,000, and the two bosses were [-] each.

I have to say that the two women are very courageous.

Once a woman starts a career, she is stronger than a man.

Lao Tan jokingly said to the two of them: "Up to now, you two have not earned much money, and no one will believe you when you say it. Besides, are you willing to invest such a big investment?"

Swallow said directly: "What is there to be reluctant? If you want to make money, you have to invest. If you want to make money, you have to invest. Besides, you don't have much money, so you don't feel bad if you lose it. At worst, you can go back to before liberation."

Yanhua said: "I didn't look at the money, but I looked at the store. Which store is not worth 600,000 now?"

She was right, the store is also money, if the two of them sell now, the two stores can be easily transferred for 200,000, and they have to compete for it.

Old Tan nodded and said, "You two are rich women now."

"What kind of rich woman is this? I don't have a penny in my hand." Yanhua laughed and said, "When did you have 10 million, it's not counted now."

"We are now in the period of starting a business. It is normal to have no money. Ten years later, not ten years later, five years will be enough. The three of us are guaranteed to be rich." Yanzi said with infinite longing.

All three are full of confidence in the future of the dumpling restaurant.

Because I was full of confidence, I sat down and counted carefully.

Since we want to develop, we must first set up a company.

The name of the company is "Aqiao Catering Co., Ltd."

The chairman is Yanhua and Yanzi, and Lao Tan is the executive president, that is, the general manager.

For now, there are only three of them in the company, and we will add more staff as the scale expands in the future.Production director, service director, market development, marketing, personnel, administration and other job departments increase a little bit as needed.

The three determined the development plan for the first three years.Establish eight directly-operated stores in the provincial capital, do not cooperate or join, use eight stores to open up the situation and build a brand.

As for the future development, we are also preparing for direct sales.

The company's strategic planning and development are jointly formulated by three people. In the future, the three people will have the final say, and no new people will be added.

Three people did the division of labor.Lao Tan is in charge of all operations, Yanhua is mainly in charge of administrative and internal affairs, and Yanzi is in charge of the periphery.

After starting the renovation, Lao Tan first designed the central kitchen, and then asked Huaqing to be in charge of the on-site supervision. He planned to go to Hohhot.

Since I took over Zhang Yu's restaurant, I haven't visited it all the time, which is a bit unreasonable.Although the business over there was very good, and the sales amount reached [-] yuan, Zhang Yu didn't say anything, but he couldn't take it too seriously.

During this period, Yanzi has already registered the company, and all peripheral affairs have been taken care of.I have to say that Yanzi's social and handling ability, if she is asked to stay in the store to manage the store, she may not be able to stay for three days, but these peripheral affairs are her strong point, and she handles them neatly.

Yanzi wants to go to Hohhot with Lao Tan, and meet Dameng in her words.Yanhua agreed to her request, so Lao Tan and Yanzi went to Hohhot.

Their arrival was warmly welcomed by Zhang Yu, Yang Zhijun and Mulan.

The first time we met Zhang Yu was a year and a half ago, when he was doing coal business with a woman named Guo Xiaoying.In fact, he only caught up with the tail end of the coal development in Ordos, but he made good money for a year.

Opening a restaurant and doing coal business, it must be said that Zhang Yu is indeed a shrewd businessman.During the cooperation with Guo Xiaoying, the two had feelings for each other, and they lived together and divorced their wife the year before last.

He thought well, thinking that Guo Xiaoying would marry him after he got divorced, but he didn't expect that Guo Xiaoying not only didn't marry him, but after finding out that the coal business started to lose money this year, he took away most of his money and disappeared.

It is appropriate to describe Zhang Yu at this moment as losing his wife and losing his army, and he is really unlucky.

Fortunately, the restaurant is not yellow and the business is booming, so we don't lose everything.

So when it comes to people, you should be conscientious and don't change your wife after you get rich.

The original wife may be a yellow-faced woman, no other woman is beautiful and gentle, but this yellow-faced woman made a choice without hesitation at the beginning, and followed through ups and downs.

Now developed, began to dislike.

Don't you know that the wife of the dross does not go to court, and it is the kindness of marriage.

Divorcing a wife who is in trouble has no good results, and the money earned will be sent back intact, why?Virtue is not enough.

Of course, there are also those who really can't live on and get divorced. You can't criticize others for this, and you can't hack a boatload of people to death with an axe.

But resolutely and affirmatively said: Don't abandon the married wife, that is kindness.Abandoned his benefactor, God would not agree.

Now Zhang Yu has returned to four years ago, alone, in a store, and a small boss.

The wife is already in bed with another man, the child is in college, and he is truly a loner.

Everything has to start from scratch.
