Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 203: Partnering to open a local chicken restaurant

"Luo Cheng, since you have so many local chickens, are you interested in opening a local chicken restaurant? You have a natural advantage in the supply of goods. The cost is much lower than others. Where I live, there is a chicken shop. The clay pot restaurant is very popular. They don’t even sell local chicken, they just focus on one dish.”

"Local chicken restaurant? Open a restaurant?"

"Call it a specialty restaurant. If you run it, I'll take a stake in it. How about that?"

"Is this going to happen?"

"Why not? I'll tell you~~@^T^#!"

When Luo Cheng was in front of Zhou Meng, even though he was just from an ordinary university, his knowledge and culture at least deceived Luo Cheng. It’s planning, it’s route, it’s business model. Luo Cheng didn't understand anything, but he felt that Zhou Meng was quite powerful. He was a college student and the pride of heaven. He was really awesome.

Finally, after asking about investment, Zhou Meng knew that Luo Cheng was interested, which was really exciting. All analyzed with Luo Cheng from the perspective of partners, how to reduce costs and maintain a good reputation. The rent for shops on the ground floor is too expensive, but those on higher floors require a lot of publicity. Therefore, it is best to have a local chicken restaurant that is one-in-one. There is a small facade on the first floor where you can receive people, and all meals are on the second floor, which is conspicuous and saves rent.

Then there are kitchen equipment, staff salaries, etc. Of course, the cost of a local chicken is more than 100, and this is a live chicken sold to others. With such a high price, it is definitely best to locate the store near the central area of ​​the city. People there spend a lot of money and like to pay attention to specialties when eating.

This restaurant sells local chicken specialties, and the price is not fixed, but is directly measured by weight. The live native chickens on the market are more than 30 pounds per pound. You can just sell them at double the amount.

The most important thing to talk about is the issue of stock investment. The budget for decoration, equipment and various things cannot be obtained without 500,000 yuan. This has to be a one-for-two method of renting a store. The rent on the first floor alone in some prosperous places costs hundreds of thousands a year. If the area is large, there are millions of dollars.

When it comes to decoration, the store decoration materials are generally just fine. The main thing is that the style is good-looking, and many of them are just prototypes. It doesn’t cost much to decorate.

Anyway, the minimum investment is 500,000 to 800,000, and Zhou Meng suggested that Luo Cheng invest 70% first to rent the shop and decorate it. The remaining 30% is budgeted for employee salaries, clothing and various miscellaneous expenses. These expenses may not need to be paid immediately, but they do cost a lot in calculation.

Zhou Meng mainly focused on a time difference. As long as Luo Chengzhen was willing to invest in the chicken restaurant, she would definitely have to pay some of the expenses. But the maximum capital investment is about 10%. As long as the business starts, her 30% will definitely be made up "one after another". If you don't do it, you will just be a junior learning to drive together.

When the time comes, he can just pretend to be poor and have no money, but Zhou Meng thinks it's worth it to trade someone with Luo Cheng's connections for the opportunity to be a small boss.

Her purpose of taking the initiative to make friends with Luo Cheng was originally to take the lead in the middle in the future. For example, if someone had a good project but no funds, she would come to Luo Cheng to recommend the project. If you succeed, you can ask the project manager to get some free shares. But she has just graduated from college and can't make friends with any rich people.

Now that I see what Luo Cheng did, I feel that I would rather do it myself. Another reason why Zhou Meng is willing to join is that Luo Cheng doesn't know anything, and she can do something stupid in investment. In terms of business operations, we can also do some tricks. For example, it is agreed that she will manage the store, and the management will also pay wages, and it cannot be related to dividends.

In this way, she can pay herself the salary of a store manager, which is ten thousand a month, even though she is doing a job worth thousands of dollars here. Then other personnel recruited should also falsely report their points appropriately. As long as the store's business is going well, the little money she so-called invested will be paid back in a few months. Luo Cheng does not have much brains in business, and it is not his fault. It was like that in his time. Most people are down to earth, and Luo Cheng's calculations are not on the same level as Zhou Meng's.

Zhou Meng only calculates store costs and operating costs. Luo Cheng's calculation is simple. If a chicken can be sold twice as much, the cost of raising the chicken will be lower. When people come to eat, they can't just eat chicken. They always order other dishes, and other dishes are considered maintenance costs.

Calculating this way, he can earn more than one hundred more from one chicken than simply selling live. One hundred chickens is more than ten thousand. Selling 10,000 pieces is equivalent to millions. According to Zhou Meng’s article, offline and online promotion, and if the location is chosen well, it is possible to make a return in one year.

So Luo Cheng felt like he didn't have much to think about. He did feel like he had money but no place to spend it. He sold one or two Big Black Tens every month, some rice, and cooked vegetables that others couldn't sell. They can earn hundreds of thousands, and the income from eels, turtles and native chickens has not yet been taken into account.

In fact, as long as the local chicken sales go well today, Luo Cheng's wealth can rise to eight figures. He may not be able to spend this money in a few lifetimes, but in the eyes of wealthy people, he cannot even buy a high-end house in some first-tier cities.

Zhou Meng didn't expect that he could convince Luo Cheng so easily. He was so excited inside that he was still very calm on the outside. He had to maintain his ladylike image.

After a long discussion, the division of labor was arranged, and Zhou Meng first found a suitable store. After finding it, Luo Cheng first took out the money to sign the contract and decorate it. As for Zhou Meng herself, she said frankly that she had just graduated and had no money, so she would have to ask her family for the money for the partnership, but she promised that it would be in place.

Luo Cheng didn't take any precautions at all. He didn't expect that the budget would give him some false accounts before the cooperation started. I thought Zhou Meng would also pay around 200,000 by then.

Zhou Meng was enthusiastically helping him design several stores that Luo Cheng planned to renovate. Luo Cheng was still thanking her in his heart for being a beautiful and kind-hearted person.

At noon, Zhou Meng also took Luo Cheng to a chicken hotpot restaurant for dinner. He said that local chicken restaurants can also be like that, and the business of their chicken hotpot restaurant is indeed good. With in-store business plus delivery, I feel like I can sell 100 copies a day without any problem. In other words, if the business is really good, you can actually make money back in a few months.

But in fact, everyone who is really engaged in the catering industry knows that in this industry, if you look at the stores that other people are opening, it actually doesn’t have much reference value. Because those who are engaged in catering and are still operating are basically doing well. And if the business is not good, it will close down and leave long ago. If you open ten restaurants and one of them can explode in business, it will be considered very good.

Anyway, Luo Cheng ate Zhou Menghua's cake and it still tasted delicious. With Zhou Meng, Luo Cheng felt that time passed very quickly. Every time the other party told him some design ideas, he would get very close. The smell of Zhou Meng's body was unknown, but it smelled very good. Her skin was the same as Liu Xiaofei's, very white and delicate, but Luo Cheng only admired her as a pleasure to the eye, and did not have any evil thoughts in his heart.

After separating from Zhou Meng, Luo Cheng went back to the warehouse house, where there were the clothes he bought yesterday. Today Luo Cheng wanted to show Liu Xiaofei something to wear. He wanted Liu Xiaofei to understand that he actually had good taste, even though Zhou Meng helped him choose it. But at least he feels that what he wears looks good. At least he can get used to it and his taste in clothes can improve.

Most people's clothing quality is actually improved slowly through many attempts. Why are most poor people relatively cheap? He couldn't afford any clothes, and he didn't have any knowledge, so the clothes he wore wouldn't feel tacky to him, they just felt about the same.
