After traveling back, I became a group favorite

Chapter 179 179. Price War

While looking at the data, Gu Qingjiu was estimating the approximate passenger flow tomorrow, but she saw that Granny Jiang also pushed the bowl in front of her:
"Xiao Jiu, you can't just focus on work, you have done so much work today, you have to eat well."

Gu Qingjiu felt the precious warmth of home from Granny Jiang, so she put down the roster and obediently agreed to:
"Ah."

……

After a while, Dong Fangzhou came out of the back kitchen silently. His hands were tangled and he didn't know where to put them. To him, this Gu Qingjiu in front of him was too strange. Unconsciously startled.

He raised his finger and pointed to the kitchen:

"The dishes and chopsticks are all cleared away, um... I'm done eating, so I'm leaving first..."

Seeing that Gu Qingjiu ignored him at all, Dong Fangzhou felt embarrassed and left as if fleeing.

"Hey, go slowly!" Granny Jiang didn't know about the entanglement between them, she just showed kindness to every guest, and after watching Dong Fangzhou leave, she turned to Gu Qingjiu in doubt:
"Xiao Jiu, you and him are..."

Sure enough, the soul of gossip knows no age.

"My high school teacher."

Gu Qingjiu ate intently without looking up, and then thought of a strange reason that best expressed their relationship.

"Oh……"

Granny Jiang looked at her, and slowly responded, but she cursed in her heart——

Not quite.

If Gu Qingjiu knew what was going on in her heart at this moment, she would definitely laugh out loud, because Granny Jiang thought:
"That young man has mischievous eyebrows, he doesn't really look like a teacher."

The next day, the small restaurant successfully reopened, with the words "Taste of Hometown" hanging on the door.

The guests came here one after another, and some even brought their relatives and friends. The small shop was extremely crowded, and there was even a long queue outside the shop.

Fortunately, Gu Qingjiu made a review yesterday, analyzing what the guests like to eat most. I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables early this morning, and I had enough ingredients, so I was prepared for any danger.

Gu Qingjiu has traveled through time, and naturally tasted many delicacies from other worlds. Many food recipes are not found in this world, which just adds to her blind box dishes.

Since the business was full, Gu Qingjiu hired a few waiters and cooks for the small restaurant after handing over the recipes to Granny Jiang. They were all recommended by Gu Mingxi and were trustworthy.

She took time out for another matter. The group of gangsters who came to make trouble before must have also harassed other shops around. She went out for a stroll and found that many shops had signs for sale.

So she discussed with Granny Jiang that some of the turnover earned these days should be used to sell other stores.

In just three days, the expansion of the original store and the construction of the branch started in full swing.

When everything was on the right track, on the fourth day, the passenger flow suddenly began to decline. In the evening, when Gu Qingjiu reviewed the data as usual, he discovered this.

So she inquired about those diners, and learned the details from the diners:

For some reason, the food street in front also started to introduce blind box dishes, and both in terms of taste and price, they are cheaper than those in small restaurants.

It's just that one of the diners whispered to Gu Qingjiu mysteriously, he himself is engaged in wholesale trade, and the price of food in the food street has been dropping, and now it's too cheap, even if you buy it at the cheapest wholesale price. , selling at this price will also lose money.

"In my opinion, the material it uses, tsk tsk..."

The middle-aged man had doubts in his tone, implying that the ingredients used in this food court were not clean.

Gu Qingjiu's eyes turned, revealing some scrutiny.

-

In the branch of the Qin Group, Qin Shou is standing on a high floor overlooking the night view downstairs. On the table is the recent income of the food street, but it is all in the red.

As soon as Liu Shiya walked into the house, she heard Qin Shou's dissatisfaction in his tone:

"Shiya, about the income of the food street in the past two days - have you read it all?"

"what happened?"

Liu Shiya's expression with downcast eyes looked unusually soft, she brushed her hair around her ear, leaned over to pick up the list:

"...So that's how it is."

"What do you mean it's like this?!" Even if Qin Shou's expression softened a little when he saw the other party's beautiful face again, he was once again irritated by her words:
"My dad asked me to come to the branch for an internship. I finally came up with the idea of ​​a food street. It's only been three days, and the financial deficit is so serious... And the plan you mentioned before, is it really useful?"

"The financial deficit can prove that my plan is effective," Liu Shiya secretly scolded Qin Shou as a short-sighted person, but now she still has to rely on his power, so she can only coax him along the lines of Mao:

"Don't worry∽~ This is only temporary. When you defeat that small restaurant through a price war, there will be no more competitors near the food street. At that time—how you want to set the price is not up to you? "

Qin Shou expressed half-belief in her words and said:
"What you said...is it true?"

"Why should I lie to you? Cousin," Liu Shiya put down the roster, and continued:

"Although the financial situation in the past two days has not shown very well, this is only the first step. What's more, I have already checked secretly. The customer flow of that restaurant during the day today is obviously not as good as the previous two days. This shows that some of them The guests have been snatched away by us, presumably in time, they will not be far away from the bedding."

But Qin Shou still hesitated and said:

"But... it's only a few days, and the deficit has already been like this. If we carry on, I'm afraid that the company's financial loopholes will be noticed by the people at the head office sooner or later."

"fool!"

Liu Shiya sighed inwardly, why her teammates are all stupid.

The financial situation of the branch company needs to be reported to the head office from time to time. The head office has known about the shortfall these days, but Qin's father probably also knows that Qin Shou is preparing for the food street, so he thinks that the initial business needs to start It doesn't matter if there are some losses in funds, so he didn't reprimand him publicly. It's just that during these days when Liu Shiya lived in the Qin family, he could often see Qin's father beating Qin Shou occasionally to make him let go of work matters. Be smart.

The only one who can't see these things is probably Qin Shou himself.

However, what Qin Shou said is correct. This kind of loss cannot be delayed again and again. At the beginning, some small methods like this can be used to pry away those diners who are based on "go to whichever is cheaper", but it will take a long time. Now, for the rest of the diners who concentrate on eating in a restaurant, it is not easy to dig.

But since the first step has already cast the net widely, the second step is to use some external force to fuel the flames, so that those fish that refuse to swim will automatically swim into the net.

"Cousin, you are right~~ It seems that it is time to implement the second step of the plan."
