The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 90

In March 81, a Sichuan restaurant named Chuanxiangfu opened next to Wangfujing Street.

On the day of the opening, after discussing with He Yuzhu, Wang Gang and He Yuzhu decided to hold a more grand opening ceremony. There will be discounts three days before the opening, and all dishes will be [-]% off.

The renovation of Chuanxiang Mansion was done by Wang Gang himself, costing him nearly 5 yuan, which is considered very luxurious in this era.

For this matter, Ran Qiuye specially asked Wang Gang to sign a cooperation agreement, giving up [-]% of the profits of Chuanxiang Mansion, and they only accounted for [-]%.

In fact, He Yuzhu only spent 5000 yuan to open the restaurant this time, not even a cent of the capital. Originally, Ran Qiuye was going to give up [-]% of the profit, but Wang Gang refused.

Naturally, Wang Gang didn't have trouble with money, but gave up profits on demand.

His request is very simple, that is, He Yuzhu trains a chef.

Wang Gang has long thought that Chuanxiangfu will definitely open branches in the future. According to his intention, he will open Chuanxiangfu in all districts of Sijiu City and make it a chain brand.

He has confidence in He Yuzhu's cooking skills, but he is not at ease about his management ability.

Therefore, Wang Gang personally came to manage the restaurant in the early stage, and He Yuzhu learned from it.

Chuanxiang Mansion's promotional activities in the first three days were strong, attracting many guests to eat, and He Yuzhu even brought out all his crafts and received a lot of praise.

Three days later, the promotional activities ended, and the business in the store dropped a lot, but customers still came to the door one after another.

Because He Yuzhu had to go to work in the factory during the day and could only be in charge of cooking at night, Chuanxiang Mansion only did business in the evening market, which made He Yuzhu very tired.

A month later, He Yuzhu and Wang Gang sat down to reconcile the accounts, and found that the restaurant's monthly turnover was nearly 2 yuan, and the gross profit was also three to four thousand.

He Yuzhu sees that he can earn more than 1000 yuan a month, and he no longer thinks highly of the factory's salary of more than 30 yuan.

After Ran Qiuye saw the account book, he could no longer object to He Yuzhu's decision to resign and go to sea, so he could only agree to He Yuzhu's resignation.

Time passed day by day, and Wang Gang became completely busy.

Zhao Zihao's three stores needed to purchase goods, He Yuzhu's restaurant needed to be managed, Wang Gang went out early and returned late every day, and sometimes he was on business trips to purchase goods, his feet were so busy that he couldn't see his wife and children.

After the re-opening, all parts of the country have also entered a period of development. First of all, prices in Forty-Nine City began to rise, although the increase was not as great as later.

Wang Gang knows that the national price rise will have to wait until the 90s, when the national average wage will exceed 100 yuan.

The spring breeze of reformation has indeed made a group of bold people rich first.

Wang Gang and Zhao Zihao firmly grasped this spring breeze. After a year of hard work, they settled their accounts in 81, and each earned about 40 yuan.

The development of Chuanxiang Mansion was not as fast as that of the goods-hunting king, and the capital was large, so the first year's income was not too much. After deducting all the capital, there was still a profit of [-] to [-].

The restaurant paid back its capital within a year, which also made Wang Gang more eager to open a branch.

Now the rent in Forty-Nine City has not been fully raised, and the bulk of the cost of restaurants lies in the cost of staff salaries and meals.

After discussing with He Yuzhu, Wang Gang and He Yuzhu decided to take out the profits of Chuanxiang Mansion and post some money to open a branch.

Ma Hua, He Yuzhu's big apprentice, has been with him for more than ten years and has already graduated as a teacher. Wang Gang has also tried his craft and is good enough to be the chef of the branch.

Wang Gang understood the principle that money begets money, so he gave 5% of the shares of the MCA branch, and tied him tightly. If the business of the branch is good in the future, he can try to increase the shares.

Ma Hua is an honest and responsible person. Hearing that Wang Gang not only paid wages but also shares, he immediately resigned from the factory and followed him.

As for He Yuzhu's other apprentice, Fatty, when he heard about Ma Hua, he licked his face and came to He Yuzhu, but was finally sent away by Wang Gang.

Wang Gang has not forgotten his desire to open a department store. During this time, he has been traveling all over the country to find sources of goods, negotiated with many factories, and obtained the exclusive agency right of Sijiucheng.

In 82, Wang Gang took a fancy to a piece of land in Sijiu City. He heard that the government wanted to build a modern community nearby, which also marked that the country would liberalize the sale of houses.

Wang Gang found the leaders of the district, and after a long time of inquiring, he was sure that the news was true, and the location was near Fangjiazhuang on the edge of Sijiu City.

After confirming this, Wang Gang's heart became eager, and he took out all the savings in the family, intending to invest in a piece of land to build a department store.

It's a pity that he calculated and calculated that his family's savings were less than 100 million, and it was far from being able to win even a small piece of land.

Just when Wang Gang was thinking about how to make money, Lou Xiaoe suddenly came to Sijiu City.

At that time, Wang Gang was sitting in the general manager's office of Chuanxiang Mansion, worrying, when a waiter suddenly came and told him that it was a woman named Lou Xiao'e who came to him.

Wang Gang hurried downstairs, and sure enough, he saw Lou Xiao'e standing at the door of Chuanxiang Mansion.

"Sister Lou, why are you here?" Wang Gang happily welcomed Lou Xiao'e into the restaurant box and asked the waiter to prepare a pot of good tea.

"Why can't I come? Didn't I give you your phone number? Why didn't you contact me?"

Wang Gang smiled and said, "I've been really busy recently, so I didn't take care of it."

Lou Xiaoe glanced at the decoration of Chuanxiang Mansion, and said, "You have done a good job in the past two years! Clothing stores and restaurants have opened up."

Wang Gang said with a smile: "Small business, how can you get into the eyes of Sister Lou!"

Lou Xiaoe said: "The decoration of your restaurant is very distinctive. Although it is not big, it has a lot of business. You have made a lot of money in the past two years!"

Wang Gang said modestly: "You can't compare with Sister Lou, your factory has already opened!"

Lou Xiaoe said: "The factory has been built in Pengcheng, and the first batch of goods has been produced. I'm not here to see if there are sales channels in Sijiucheng."

Wang Gang patted the table and said, "Sister Lou, you can give me the goods to sell! I'm planning to open a shoe store to sell shoes."

Lou Xiaoe said with a smile: "I have heard about your Taohuo Wang shoe store for a long time. No one in the industry would not envy you. We agreed to cooperate at the beginning."

"Small business, not worth mentioning."

"Don't be modest. I went to your store and saw that the clerks are all young and beautiful girls. You know how to do business!" Lou Xiao'e said.

Next, Wang Gang and Lou Xiao'e talked about cooperation again. Wang Gang was indeed planning to open a shoe store specializing in selling shoes in the most prosperous street in Sijiu City. The place was already found.

Lou Xiaoe’s family’s shoe factory, Wang Gang, has also seen samples of the shoes produced, and they are the best in both style and quality, and they are very interesting.

Wang Gang plans to package it as a well-known brand in Xiangjiang, as the main product of the shoe city.

Lou Xiaoe and Wang Gang went to see the store in the shoe city together. It is a small four-story shopping mall. The house is not new and needs to be renovated.

Originally, Wang Gang planned to rent the house, but after Lou Xiaoe inspected it, he persuaded him to buy it, saying that it would definitely increase in value in the future.

"Now there is no way to transfer the ownership of the house. If you can't buy it, you can only rent it!" Wang Gang said.

"You can sign a contract with the homeowner first, and then use the contract to transfer the ownership when the house can be transferred." Lou Xiaoe said.

Wang Gang patted his head and said, "Why didn't I think of that."
