Return to the 80s, from touching loaches to becoming the world's richest man

Chapter 158: Stay and see?

Thinking of this, Lu Hai looked at Cheng Zhiguo with a smile, "Then I think you made the right bet. If you follow me, it should be no problem to get rich."

Cheng Zhiguo saw that Lu Hai was not some evil force, so he spoke without trembling. Moreover, since Lu Hai was a legitimate business, he was naturally not afraid anymore.

"Boss, so confident?" Cheng Zhiguo was a little surprised.

After all, it's not meal time now, so the business in this store can only be said to be average. Although there are people eating, compared with the minimum occupancy rate of 80 to 90 percent during meal times, now there are only scattered people, and the occupancy rate is only a few percent at most.

In this situation, it is difficult for Cheng Zhiguo to believe that he can get rich after joining.

After all, the business in your own store doesn’t look very good now, how can you make money?

Lu Hai also knew what Cheng Zhiguo was thinking, so he smiled and explained, "It's not meal time yet, so it may not seem like there are that many customers. If you work in the catering industry, you'll know that lunch and dinner are the busiest times."

"To have these guests this afternoon is the best among our peers."

Cheng Zhiguo nodded, but he still had doubts in his heart...

Lu Hai was not angry either. After all, Cheng Zhiguo was an outsider and didn't understand many things. It was normal...

It's like, if you talk to a primary school student about calculus or advanced mathematics, they may know the concept, but they are completely clueless about how to calculate it...

Therefore, Cheng Zhiguo now thinks that Lu Hai's store is doing good business at best. After deducting all costs and labor costs at the end of a month, he can earn at most one or two hundred yuan. But can he say that he makes a lot of money?

I really can't tell...

Although one or two hundred is a lot, at least it is a lot for many people...

But don’t forget, among those who can come up with money to do business these days, which family has poor conditions?

Even if they enter government agencies, they may not be able to get promoted directly at the beginning, but they can't escape the salary of 50 or 60 yuan a month...

Then, with connections and money, and with the help of family, you can quickly rise to prominence, and after a year or two, you can earn a salary of 100 or 200 yuan...

Why bother doing business?

Therefore, Cheng Zhiguo, who has seen the actual situation of the store, has no interest in the franchise concept he saw at the beginning...

Lu Hai also saw Cheng Zhiguo's disappointment. After all, he was the first one to come, so he planned to fight for it. As long as this first franchise store was opened somewhere else in Kyoto, his reputation would at least be raised to a higher level...

Moreover, if someone can afford to invest money to join a business, how can his connections be bad?

Will there be no one coming to support us on the opening day?

What if a leader is traveling around to attend meetings and sees a hotpot restaurant with the same sign, then wouldn’t the reputation of this brand be spread?

Moreover, as I said before, doing business these days is like picking up money from the ground with a sack, so it is reasonable for me to keep him a little bit, at least let him see what the store looks like after lunch...

"Comrade, if you don't believe me, why don't you wait until later? It's still more than an hour before dinner time. If you're not in a hurry, you can stay and take a look. You can also try the food in this restaurant. It won't be too late to decide..."

When Cheng Zhiguo heard this, he thought there was no problem, so he nodded and agreed.

He wanted to see how the business would be booming after mealtime as Lu Hai mentioned.

The most important thing is that although his family gave him money to support his business, he really had no idea what kind of business to start...

Running a restaurant is just like what Lu Hai thought, he doesn't understand it at all...

He had thought about opening a grocery store, but the profit was too little, and in his eyes, it was too unchallenging...

After all, if you open a shabby grocery store and just sit there selling things every day, what's the point?

As for opening a hotel, the investment is even greater, and there is no guarantee that if it goes wrong, the family cannot afford such a huge loss...

So, when Cheng Zhiguo heard the alliance advertisement, he was immediately attracted...

He also briefly inquired with Luo Yongfeng, and found out that the franchise fee was only 500 yuan, and then he could use Lu Hai's brand and formula...

Although he had to pay for other expenses such as renting a shop and equipment, he calculated that the total cost was several thousand yuan, which was still acceptable to him...

Moreover, you don’t have to think about the decoration plan, marketing, menu, or even the originality of the dishes…

Of course, the most important thing is the so-called marketing, that is, the store opening activities and so on, and you don’t have to worry about it yourself...

It can be said that he only needs to spend money to set up this restaurant, and then just look after the store, which is worry-free and labor-saving for him...

And the specific cost has been calculated. The store is only rented for one year. Although the rent in Kyoto is expensive now, it is more than 1,000 yuan a year. Add some equipment and the overall cost of opening a store is just over 5,000 yuan...

If he lost this money, it wouldn't be an unacceptable loss for his family...

Seeing Cheng Zhiguo accept it, Lu Hai also breathed a sigh of relief...

He just didn't believe it. With the store now full of customers at mealtime, how could Cheng Zhiguo not be moved?

When the time comes, I will show him today's accounts. The store has made a profit of more than a thousand in just one day. Wouldn't you be tempted?

Although it costs several thousand dollars in the initial stage, but at this rate, the cost can be almost recovered in less than a month after opening the store. Are you dissatisfied with this speed of making money?

He just couldn't believe that there were still people who could refuse a profitable business worth more than one thousand or two thousand yuan a day these days...

Even in the 90s, people's income was already much higher than it is today in the 80s, but if you let a taxi driver who earns yuan a month take the iron rice bowl of a civil servant, even so, do you think the taxi driver will pay any attention to you?

This income alone is already far higher than that of civil servants. Although the benefits are better, what benefits are there without more money?

So, now that people in the 80s can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, Lu Hai doesn't believe that anyone can refuse it? !

So Lu Hai drank tea while washing Cheng Zhiguo... and chatted...

And time, in the blink of an eye, it was dark...
