Rising from the age of thirty

Chapter 45: Taking the High-End Route (Seeking Pursuit)

"Brother Le, the price of over 100 yuan is too high. They can't afford it."

Song Guangli denied Shitou's words: "No, this dish is worth that much."

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no other pig's trotter that can compare with it in the whole province of Guangdong, or even in the whole country.

Lu Le thought about it and said, "Old Song, this dish is a secret of the palace, and the flavor is unique. No one else can make it except you. The price is three hundred. I want to make it a high-end product!"

When these words were spoken, the three of them were stunned, their faces filled with shock.

Song Guangli thought that his price of 120 yuan would be hard for Lu Le to accept, but now Lu Le priced it at 300 yuan!
In Lu Le's opinion, it's not so bad. When the braised pork trotters are in short supply in the future, the price can be raised to five hundred or even one thousand, and people will still come to eat it!

Three hundred is just the beginning.

Song Guangli widened his eyes: "This, this, this..."

I never thought that the dishes made by him would be priced so high!

Is anyone consuming?

Too much!!
"Old Song, we will reopen next week and we can start booking banquets now. I believe you are more professional than me in this area, so I won't say more. Just tell me if you need anything."

Song Guangli shook his head. Now everything is ready, all that is missing is customers coming.

"There's something I have to discuss with my boss."

"You said."

"What's the menu for the banquet?"

"You mean the pricing, right? I've thought about it. There are four levels: 1168, 1288, 1598, and 1698. The dishes and ingredients in each level are different."

Based on the original restaurant menu, Lu Le picked and chose, deleted and selected, and it was the final choice, not a casual statement. As for the pricing of individual items, except for the braised pork trotters, it was all left to Song Guangli to decide.

Song Guangli was a little surprised. This price was a little higher than that of other competitors. Was it okay?
Lui Lok is an amateur after all.

He was right to worry.

However, Lui Lok has his own ideas and firmly believes that his choice is acceptable.

Only the last two grades will be served with a royal braised pork trotter dish!
In a word, expensive things have their reasons!
A single dish of imperial braised pork trotters is already priced at three hundred yuan.

Lu Le added, "One more thing. During the opening period, if customers reserve a banquet, they can deposit 30,000 yuan and get 1,000 yuan free. 1,000 yuan is a consumption voucher, which can be offset by 200 yuan each time, divided into five times."

This is a marketing model that can quickly pay back the investment. It was taught to him by He Mei today!!

Low-end restaurants can be used to attract customers, while high-end ones are the ones that make the big money, and there is no precedent for this in any restaurant in the entire Focheng.

I have to say that He Mei graduated from a prestigious overseas university and is quite capable.

No wonder, he just returned to China and made millions a year by running an advertising company.

Shitou and Tieniu gave a thumbs up and said, "It's really high!"

Song Guangli: “…”

In this way, wouldn’t it be possible to quickly recoup the investment of 300,000 yuan on the opening day?

Song Guangli was instantly filled with hope for the future of the restaurant.

After everything at the restaurant was arranged, Lui Lok, Shi Tou and the others went out for a midnight snack.

Lui Lok doesn't want to drink, because he doesn't drink and drive, and he doesn't drive after drinking.

"Brother Le, we have a designated driver, so drink with confidence. I'll take you to a nice place later."

How could Lu Le not know where the good place Tie Niu was talking about? All men know that, but he just doesn't like that because he has a virtuous wife at home.

Stone: "What good place?"

Tie Niu smiled and said, "It's a great place. Come on, come on, I'll treat you."

"Shitou, go if you want. You're single and have been tired from work lately, so relax."

It was only eleven o'clock, and the three of them ordered a bunch of barbecue. Lui Lok couldn't refuse the invitation and drank two or three bottles, and he started to smell drunk.

When the show was over, Shitou and Tieniu were both drunk and were arm in arm, shouting that they wanted to go to a good place.

Lu Le called a designated driver and followed Tie Niu's directions to a place called Marriott.

Tie Niu walked in with a swagger. Shi Tou was stunned for a few seconds and then followed him in.

"What service is 498?"

The receptionist was very welcoming and whispered something in Tie Niu's ear, which made Tie Niu very happy. "Okay, okay, I want this set meal. Go and arrange it for me and my two brothers as well." Tie Niu looked very rich.

Immediately afterwards, Shitou's face turned red as he was taken away by a girl. Lu Le was only responsible for sending them there, but he himself was very sober.

"No need to arrange anything for me, I'll pay the bills, take care of them."

Lu Le paid for nearly a thousand yuan, and then he asked the designated driver to take him back.

On the way, a message popped up on WeChat on my phone.

From Zhong Xiaoli.

"Old classmate, are you free tonight? Let's have a midnight snack together?"

Followed by a series of expressions.

Lu Le looked at it for a few seconds and replied, "Sorry, I'm not hungry. Maybe I'll be free some other time."

How could he have time for a midnight snack? He had just eaten and he had to go back to be with his wife.

When Lu Le returned, he bought some barbecue for Wang Xueyun.

Having made so much money, it's time to celebrate.

Wang Xueyun didn't sleep. She was waiting for Lu Le to come back. Maybe it was because of the money issue. In short, she couldn't sleep.

At the same time, on the other side, in a rental house in Focheng.

Zhong Xiaolilin fell back on the bed, her body in a big shape, holding her cell phone.

Her expression was a little strange. Her beautiful eyes stared blankly at Lu Le's portrait. Her mind was a mess and she was full of random thoughts.

Ever since I met Lui Lok once at the car dealership, I have been feeling uneasy, especially after hearing what my colleagues said.

Why didn’t you chat on WeChat that day?
So tonight, someone sent a message saying that he wanted to treat Lu Le to a midnight snack.

After sending the message, her face turned red and she regretted it in her heart. Just as she was about to withdraw it, Lu Le's message had already been sent.

Oh my god——

What am I doing? I have a child, what am I thinking about!

When Zhong Xiaoli saw the reply message, she suddenly felt disappointed.

Finally, I replied helplessly, "Okay, some other time!" and added a smiling emoticon at the end.

However, Lui Lok never responded again.

Looking at the group of high school classmates, recalling Lu Le's excellence, and the moment he bought the Mercedes-Benz, Zhong Xiaoli felt mixed emotions.

If I had been braver when I was in high school, would I be the one sitting in the Mercedes-Benz E?
At the very least, if the ending is different, you don't have to live as miserably as you do now.

Lu Le didn't understand what Zhong Xiaoli was thinking, nor did he think about it that way. When they got home, the couple celebrated without waking up the child.

Late night conversation.

Wang Xueyun plans to let her parents-in-law retire. Now that Lu Liang has graduated, only her younger sister is in her junior year. There is not much pressure and she doesn't have to work so hard.

Yes, they are old and it’s time for them to enjoy their retirement.

Lu Le thought about it and felt that Wang Xueyun was thoughtful and considerate. Even her son had not expected that his wife was wholeheartedly devoted to the family.

"Honey, if we're not busy recently, let's go visit mom and dad. I bought some clothes for mom, and the kids miss them a lot."

The parents Wang Xueyun mentioned are Lui Lok's parents.

"it is good."

Lu Le also had plans recently. The last time he saw his father, he told him that he would go to see them when he was free, but he forgot about it as he had a lot of things to do recently.

Just now.

Wang Xueyun's cell phone rang.

Lu Le was very confused. Who called his wife in the middle of the night?

"It's my mother."

Wang Xueyun answered the call, her eyes instantly reddened, "I, I'll be right back."
