Chapter 120 Field Trips
What Liang Ping said with tears in her eyes, I have to say, is quite sympathetic. Yang Qingping frowned and thought for a moment, then turned to Yang Xingyu, "Xiaoyu, do you think you can do it for my sake?" Can you take care of your Aunt Liang regarding the price?"

Yang Xingyu nodded, "Of course! Aunt Liang is your friend. Regarding the price, I will try my best to give you a high price."

Of course this is just a scene.

He is a businessman, how can he give a high price when he can lower the price?
Liang Ping's family owed 50 yuan, and Yang Xingyu owed even more!

What's more, it's not easy to make money, so how can you make big concessions on price just because of someone's face?Could it be that his Yang Xingyu's money was brought by the strong wind?
"Thank you, thank you Xiaoyu!"

Liang Ping smiled and expressed her gratitude to Yang Xingyu.

As she spoke, she held up the wine glass with both hands and toasted to Yang Xingyu.

Yang Xingyu had a drink with her, put down the glass, and while picking up the food, he said: "However, as for the price, I have to visit your stores first. After all, I haven't paid for the 10 stores you mentioned, Aunt Liang." I know the location, but I don’t know the size, and I don’t know what the decoration inside is like.

Also, is your kitchen big enough?Is the kitchen fully equipped?
I have to read all of these before I can give you my estimate, okay? "

Liang Ping nodded, "That's right! Let's go see it after dinner later, right?"

Yang Xingyu looked at the time on his watch, shook his head and said, "I'll have to go back to prepare the goods later. Do you have time tomorrow morning? How about we wait until I'm done here tomorrow morning to take a look?"

Just now he heard Liang Ping say that the 50 she borrowed would have to be paid with a minimum interest of two cents. He knew that Liang Ping was now eager to sell off those 10 stores so that she could quickly withdraw funds and use them to repay debts.

In this case, he is not in a hurry.

Again, he is a businessman and will never give a high price when he can lower the price.

Not to mention that Liang Ping can only be regarded as his third uncle's mistress now, even if she is already his third uncle's girlfriend, he will not show mercy.

Unless Liang Ping has married his third uncle.

Then she is his third mother, so she should give him face.

Now, it can only be said that Liang Ping, a woman, doesn't know how to negotiate business at all. When negotiating the price, she actually exposed her shortcomings.

She actually naively thought that a poor sale would make him relent and offer her a high price.

"Okay, okay! Then tomorrow morning, I will take you to see it."

Liang Ping had no objection and quickly nodded in agreement.

After the serious talk, the next step was to drink, eat, and chat.

Yang Xingyu asked curiously: "By the way, Aunt Liang, I have met your husband. I think he has a very strong personality, right? You opened 10 stores at once this time, and you used your name when signing store leases and so on. ? Does he have any objection?"

Liang Ping pursed her lips and sighed: "Of course he has objections, but part of the money for opening this store was saved by me over the years, and the other 50 was borrowed from my natal family in my name. , when borrowing money, I made an agreement with him that I could borrow money to open a store, but it must be in my name. If he didn’t agree, I wouldn’t borrow it. After all, he had a gambling problem, and I was afraid of him. God is so cruel, he has to escort all the stores out!"

Still a little brainy.

Yang Xingyu nodded.

While eating and drinking, Yang Xingyu asked another question out of curiosity.

"Aunt Liang, Hu Laosan initially wanted me to transfer the store to him, so when you first raised money, were you planning to acquire my company? Why didn't you succeed in acquiring my company and chose to open your own store? Don't you know how to open a store in one go? How risky is 10 stores?”

Liang Ping smiled bitterly.

Yang Qingping answered for her: "I asked your Aunt Liang about this. After she said that the acquisition of your roast duck restaurant failed, she thought about paying back all the borrowed money, but Hu Laosan refused! Hu Laosan insisted on learning If you open 10 stores at a time and turn it into a chain store like this, your Aunt Liang can't defeat him. Plus, the interest on the 50 borrowed funds has to be calculated every day, so she was anxious, so she agreed to do it in a daze. "

After saying that, Yang Qingping laughed and said to Liang Ping: "You have no brains! Otherwise, how could you end up like this? Fortunately, my nephew is willing to buy your store. Otherwise, if you have 10 stores, you will open them to the outside world one by one." If you transfer it, you don’t know how long it will take to transfer it all, and then the interest on the money you owe will be overwhelming!”

Liang Ping's expression became even more bitter, "It's too late to regret now. Fortunately, I got to know you and your nephew."

When Yang Xingyu heard what she said, he looked at her strangely.

I thought: Are you sure you finally met my third uncle?Is it possible that you jumped from one fire pit into another?
……

It was around 9 am the next day.

After Yang Xingyu prepared the goods to be sold at noon, he contacted his third uncle and Liang Ping, and went with them to visit the 10 stores under Liang Ping's name and the large kitchen where they stocked the goods.

Liang Mei Roast Duck opened by Hu Laosan and Liang Ping has 10 restaurants and a large kitchen, all in the old city.

This morning, they visited one store after another.

Yang Xingyu found that half of these 10 stores were at the entrance of the wet market, and the store rent was certainly not cheap. No wonder the 10 stores cost more than 70 yuan in investment.

The old town is densely populated.

The distance between communities is also short. Every few hundred meters, there is a small old vegetable market.

Liang Mei Roast Duck’s five stores are located in these five old vegetable markets.

The other five stores are located at the entrances of five old communities.

It can be said that the locations of these 10 stores are quite good.

But competition pressure is also great.

There must be one or two competitors within 30 meters of Liang Mei’s Roast Duck store.

After seeing the location of this store, Yang Xingyu also admired Hu Laosan and Liang Ping. These two people were not very good at making roast duck, but they were very courageous.

How dare you challenge so many peers.

You know, the roast duck restaurants and Baiwei chicken restaurants in the old city are basically old restaurants that have been operating for many years, and their reputation and popularity have been accumulated for a long time.

These old stores have a stable customer base.The taste has also been recognized by the market.

When Yang Xingyu came to the city to open a store, he didn't dare to come to the old city to compete with these old stores, but Hu Laosan and Liang Ping dared to come here to seek death.

Although the old town is very popular, there are also many wealthy people.

But if the taste of what you make is not special enough, those rich and naughty people won’t buy it.

Do you really think that the money of those rich people is easy to make?

However, now and then.

Yang Xingyu, who had just come to the city to start a business, did not dare to rush into the old city and compete with those old stores, but that is different now.

With the successful experience of the previous 18 branches and his repeated optimization of the stewed soup recipe recently, the taste of Yangji Roast Duck has been greatly improved compared to the beginning.

Although, it still may not be as good as some old stores in the old town.

but……

Although product quality is important, it is not the decisive factor in whether a business can be started.

If the product with the best quality can dominate the entire industry, then there should be only one company in any industry in the world.

But is that the case?
In the catering industry, it has always been difficult to agree on what everyone agrees on.

Don't talk about anything else, just talk about roast duck. You said that your roast duck stew is rich in flavor and has endless aftertaste, but it can only satisfy the taste of some customers.

There are also some customers who may prefer the stewed soup to be a little more flavorful so that they can taste more of the roast duck itself.

Let me ask you: When you meet such customers, how do you satisfy them?

There are also some customers who like the roast duck in your store, but between taste and price, they are more willing to choose the cheaper one.

Let me ask you: When you meet such customers, how do you satisfy them?
Price cut?

Will it be a loss?
If it tastes good, the ingredients used must be sufficient and the quality of the ingredients may be better, which means your cost is destined to be higher than others.

Even if your costs are the same as others, when others would rather lose money than engage in a price war with you, should you fight?
If you challenge, you will also lose money.

If you don't fight, part of your business will be taken away.

Therefore, even though Yang Xingyu is not sure yet that the quality of his dishes can surpass all the old restaurants in the old city, he is still confident that he can grab a market in the old city.

……

Yang Xingyu followed his third uncle and Liang Ping to see the 10 stores where Liang Mei roasted duck, and was finally taken to Liang Mei's big kitchen by Liang Ping.

The location is in the central area of ​​those 10 stores.

Maybe when Hu Laosan decided to start a chain operation, he was planning to copy the work of Yangji Roast Duck.

Therefore, Liang Mei’s large roast duck kitchen also rented a two-story building with a yard.

The yard is a little smaller than the one in Fishtail Alley.

The small building should also be smaller, with three rooms above and below.

There are also two one-story flat-roofed huts, one is a bathroom, and the other was originally a kitchen and is now converted into a warehouse.

The three rooms downstairs of the main building were opened up and transformed into a large kitchen. There was a wall separated by a plastic board in the middle of the large kitchen. The east side of the wall was the cold food room and the west side was the hot food room.

The cold dish room is only a quarter of the size of the hot dish room.

There are three rooms upstairs, one of which has been converted into the boss's office, with a boss desk and chair, as well as a bright red wooden coffee table and seats.

The other two rooms, one is the dormitory of Hu Laosan and Liang Ping, and the other is the chef's dormitory. This chef's dormitory has four iron beds with bunk beds, a total of eight beds.

When Yang Xingyu followed Liang Ping into the dormitory and saw the four iron beds in the chef's dormitory, Yang Xingyu was silent.

He thought of the dormitory he lived in in high school.

At that time, their dormitory was also an eight-person dormitory.

But when he got to college, he lived in a six-person room.

After graduation, the hotel dormitories I stayed in were usually four-person rooms, and sometimes there were empty beds in the four-person rooms.

He had not lived in an eight-person dormitory for a long, long time.

It is estimated that apart from prisons, some black-hearted factories will arrange this.

At this moment, Yang Xingyu admired Hu Laosan for getting himself a big office but letting the chef live in an eight-person room.

That guy never thought of doing this. These chefs are unhappy. Will they not pay attention to their work?
"Aunt Liang, was this dormitory full before?"

Yang Xingyu couldn't help but ask.

Liang Ping nodded, "Yes, it's full."

She didn't realize the reason why Yang Xingyu asked this question, so she answered casually and asked: "Xiaoyu, I will show you all the shops and this yard now. What price do you think you can give me?"

　Ask for a monthly pass
