The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 96 The idea of ​​the branch

Yanzi calculated her own money, and there was 110,000 in the card.This amount of money is not even enough to pay the rent, let alone decorate the hotel.But she wants to open another dumpling restaurant, and she can borrow money if she doesn't have enough money.

But who to borrow from?

Borrowing money is a practical matter. Good friends can't withdraw money, and if they withdraw money, they will be gone, [-]%.

When I first got divorced, I left the house without even having a place to live.Fortunately, my parents have an old house, otherwise I would have to sleep on the street.

At that time, there were people who asked me to eat, and they always expressed sympathy and comfort at the dinner table. Did you want practical help? He looked worse than himself.

It is often after a meal that there is no contact.

It is often said that if you want to know how many real friends you have, try to borrow money. If one out of ten friends agrees, it will be good.

This is not the reality of people. The main reason is that the money has been borrowed, and it is very difficult to recycle it.

Borrowing money is trust, and repaying money is integrity. People often wantonly destroy trust and discount integrity, and eventually lending money has become a taboo among friends. There is a popular saying "Don't talk about money, friends, talk about money hurts feelings." .”

Don't talk about money with friends, it has become a taboo to talk about money with relatives. Sometimes relatives are not as generous as friends.

Yanzi recalled the scene when her parents gave her the old house. The condition of the eldest brother’s house was very good, he lived in the big house and drove a good car, so he robbed her of the inheritance of the house.In the end, it was my father who made a decision in one sentence. It is okay to want a house, and whoever wants a house will be able to provide for the elderly.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law retired, so she moved into the old house.

Hey, what about my sisters and sisters, they fight for every inch of land and money.

Now that the old man is gone, and I am left alone, I want to talk to my elder brother. When I think of my sister-in-law, I should forget it.

Thinking about the failures of these years, I didn't even make a serious friend.

Except for Yanhua, of course.

At the same time, I have to thank Lao Feng, no matter how you say it is impossible to open a restaurant without Lao Feng, it will still be the same as before, with a monthly pension of [-] yuan, wandering around in the mahjong parlor——
When will people be self-reliant and able to support themselves.Even if it's okay to find a rich man, it's useless if you don't get along well. If he can find himself, he can find someone else.

Now that Lao Feng is gone, he is alone again.I can no longer live like before. At that time, there was no business, no ideas and hopes, and I went to the mahjong club every day for one purpose-to dawdle.

How to put it, emptiness.

Yes, it is emptiness.

It's almost the same as eating and dying.

Anyway, there is a restaurant now, and I have something to do.And the business is fine, it's a business.To be honest, since I opened the restaurant, many people who hadn’t contacted me started to contact me, why?Don't you just feel that you can do it? If you can't do it, you don't need to contact me.

When it doesn't work, it takes a lot of effort to find them to do something, as if they have a lot of favors.After opening a restaurant, seeing that the business is doing well, and doing it on their own, they start to come over like a good sister and a good buddy, as if they were born by the same mother.

Hey people, that's how realistic it is.

What can I do?They all thought that they depended on Lao Feng to live, and when Lao Feng left, no one but Yanhua was fucking seen.Wait, I can do it like a swallow, just wait and see.

In fact, our swallow is a common people.Common people have common people's philosophy of life and way of survival, and many successful people also started from common people.

We need to gradually understand what is to look away and what is to let go in the experience of life.

As Zen Master Yungu said, we will not suffer for a lifetime in this world, but we will definitely suffer for a while.Many people suffer for a lifetime because they can't see it and want to escape suffering for a while.

People remember three sentences when they are upset, forget it, it’s okay, it will pass.

Life is about eating it, sleeping it, laughing it, scolding it, walking away, dying it, and burying it.

When a person feels contented, not upset, not tired, not looking for anything, and at ease, happiness is in it.

When a person feels able to eat, play, sleep well, have no worries, and is satisfied, happiness lies in it.

There are three ways to be happy, let go, let go, and forget.

Happiness has four elements, change what can be changed, and improve what cannot be changed.Take what you can't improve, and let go of what you can't bear.

Don't envy other people's superficial scenery, in fact, everyone has inner suffering.Worry does not stay overnight, forgetfulness is happiness.Life is tiring, a small part comes from survival, and a large part comes from comparison.

Those who understand me don't need to explain, and those who don't understand me don't need to explain.

Don't let yourself be controlled by three things, the past, other people and money.

If a person thinks too much, he will be entangled. The difficulty is that everything is difficult when he is stuck at home, and the way out is to go out all the way.The greatest charm of a person is to have a sunny mind, and a heart full of sunshine is eternal beauty.

People are happy when they are simple, and they grow old when they are sophisticated.Life is more and more yesterday and less and less tomorrow.The farthest away from us is not the tomorrow that has not yet come, but the yesterday that has just passed.A wise person always thinks of ways to make tomorrow better, while a dull person always laments that he didn't have a good yesterday.

The most precious thing in life is not the material you own, but the people who can accompany you.As time goes by, we meet more and more people, and the people we stay with feel more and more important in our choices.

And we tend to ignore the people who are with us, only to find that we missed a lot when we look back.

Don't talk nonsense when you don't understand, don't talk too much when you understand.Speak slowly when you are upset, and stop when you have nothing to say.

Language communication is both interpersonal communication and emotional expression.When we can't make ourselves stronger, we learn to listen instead of chattering.

As a human being, having a clear conscience is the most peaceful pillow, and being grateful is the best practice.

If you have a good attitude, everything will be fine, if you have a bad attitude, everything will go wrong.

No one is destined to be a successful person. If he is messed up by the secular world, no matter how good the opportunity is, he will slip away.

People, when feeling physically and mentally exhausted, think about the eagerness to get this job at the beginning, will you still be tired?When complaining about others leaving, think about whether you have hurt others' hearts——
Let go of some things, not for ease, but to move forward better.

Maybe our swallow can't understand this, but she knows how to do it, and this is the beginning of understanding.

She approached Yanhua and told her about opening a branch.

"I'm going to tell you about this too. Our family is doing well now, so we should open a branch. We can't always stick to this one store," Yanhua said.

"I have 110,000--" Yanzi said bluntly.

"Hey, what are you thinking? We are bound together now, so we don't need to divide it so finely." Yanhua smiled, patted Yanzi with her hand, and said, "Tell me what I think. Let's not talk about it first." Regarding the opening of a branch store, haven’t we both recovered the cost now, that is to say, even if we don’t open a store, we both have a monthly income of 30,000 yuan, right?”

Swallow nodded in agreement.

"To be honest, I never thought that I could earn 30,000 yuan a month in this life. Sometimes I am surprised when I think about it," Yanhua said.

"I haven't thought about it either." Swallow said.

"Hehe, I don't know if you still remember the girl from Harbin we met when we visited Wuhan with Lao Tan? She also runs a dumpling restaurant." Yanhua asked.

"Remember, why don't you remember." Swallow said.

"There are [-] stores now. I remember that when we chatted, she seemed to say that she also earns wages every month. The money earned by the [-] stores is unified in one account and does not move around. The money is to ensure the normal operation of the [-] stores. The one who runs and opens the branch, right?" Yanhua asked.

"It seems to say so--I was very annoyed by her contemptuous look at the time, so I didn't listen carefully, so just say what you mean." Yanzi said.

"You—I mean we are the same way. We only get wages every month, and the money we earn is saved together. Sooner or later it will be our own money, and we can't run away. If we have enough money, we will open branches and expand our business. To put it bluntly, we The two are not short of money now, 8000 yuan a month is enough to spend, isn't it?"

Yanzi understood what Yanhua said, and couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and said, "I understand what I mean, that is, don't touch the money you earn, use it as operating funds, open stores, decorate, replace equipment, etc., then we are the two of you." Don't you have to set up a company?"

Yanhua smiled and said, "You, you only want to be big, and you want to return the company—but maybe, it will be a company when it's done well. They have fourteen chains. What's wrong with us is that we started late."

"I agree with this, and it looks normal. But you can't wait until you have saved enough money to open a store, you have to open it now." Yanzi was a little impatient.

"It's okay to open the shop, there's no delay." Yanhua said confidently, "Isn't the shop open now? You get money every day. If you want to open a shop, you just need to find a place. After you find a place, pay the rent and decorate it. It's easy. The main reason is that we can't It’s going to be the same as before, you have to figure it out before you do it, no.”

"What else is there?" Swallow asked a little puzzled.

"We are a partnership, and the civilized word is called a partner. This time we should be more formal, write an agreement, set some rules in advance, and then sign and draw a deposit, so as to save time and trouble, right?" Yanhua said own meaning.

Yanzi has no objection to Yanhua's proposal, and she also has this meaning in her consciousness, but she is not as perfect as Yanhua, so she can't express it.Now that Yanhua thought of this, she would save herself the trouble of thinking about it.

So the two women reached a cooperation intention, but they were a little unfamiliar with the agreement and didn't know how to write it, so they planned to find a professional to write it.

At the same time, it was decided to open a branch.According to Yanhua's proposal, each person provided 100,000 yuan as start-up capital, adding up to 200,000 yuan, which was enough to pay the rent.

The decoration fee is easy to settle, Yanhua will pay in advance, and it will be deducted from the monthly profit as the hotel owes.

The two also have a clear division of labor, Yanhua is in charge of logistics, Yanzi is in charge of the peripheral, dealing with functional departments.The unified management is still in charge of Lao Tan, who is a professional.

After everything was settled, the two decided to start looking for a place, and the goal was set near Songshan Road, about three kilometers away from the current dumpling restaurant.
