From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 289 Everything went well and the shop was recovered

Feng Zhengming invited the owners of the five stores to come in and sit down, and also set up a table of sumptuous meals.

This time, Feng Zhengming did not involve his grandfather and third uncle. He wanted to face this group of people by himself.

The so-called etiquette first, then attack.

Feng Zhengming did not rush to talk about the store resumption. Instead, he had a few drinks with the owners of the five stores and their family members, and invited everyone to try his craftsmanship first.

This time, the owners of the five stores did bring their families.

The owner of the small shop brought his wife and children, and the wife of the clothing store brought her sister.

The sister of the clothing store proprietress saw Feng Zhengming becoming the number one young chef in Quancheng on TV and she has always admired Feng Zhengming.

Originally, the landlady didn't plan to bring her sister, but the invitation was left at home and her sister saw it.

Due to her sister's constant begging and pestering, the landlady had no choice but to take her with her.

The owners of the other three stores also brought their families.

After all, Feng Zhengming is famous for being the number one young chef, and everyone really wants to try his craftsmanship.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Feng Zhengming said: "I invite you to come today. For this meal, I would like to thank you for allowing us to set up tables and chairs on the road outside during this evening. Now that the weather is getting colder, we also allowed us to put up a shed in your store. Thank you very much in front of the door, and this meal is a way to express my gratitude."

After saying this, Feng Zhengming raised his small wine cup and toasted a glass of wine to the five shop owners present.

The five shop owners also raised their glasses and drank a glass of wine with Feng Zhengming.

Then they exchanged looks.

It was the owner of the small shop who spoke first: "Boss Feng, your business is good, and we are also benefiting from it. If it weren't for your dry rice shop here, how could there have been so many passengers on our road before? We should also I want to thank you.

Our business has been so good during this period, and it's all thanks to you, a dry rice shop. "

The other four bosses all agreed, saying that they should be grateful to Feng Jiagan Restaurant for bringing in customers.

After thanking him, the shop owner changed the topic.

"But Boss Feng, you are the big boss. Your business is so booming. I believe you will not take advantage of us in vain. Now you have to set up a food stall shed at night and occupy the space in front of our door. After all, you have some influence on us. Influenced.”

When Feng Zhengming heard what the small shop owner said, he looked at him strangely, and then looked at the other four owners who came today.

Then, Feng Zhengming smiled and asked: "So you guys think that I still affect your business? What do you want to do?"

When Feng Zhengming asked him this question, the owners of the five stores looked at him strangely.

Because according to the previous discussions among several people, they felt that Feng Zhengming should speak first.

After all, he sent invitations to all five of them, and it was Feng Zhengming who invited them to discuss it.

Why doesn't Feng Zhengming talk about compensation now?

Several people looked at each other.

The other four owners still winked at the small shop owner, meaning to let him speak.

The shop owner felt resentful, but in order to get compensation, he still had to speak out.

"Boss Feng, what we are saying is that if you want to use the space in front of our door, should you give us some compensation? You can't just use it like this without any representation, right?"

Feng Zhengming just saw the five store owners exchanging glances, and he had already guessed some of their thoughts.

Now that the shop owner said it so directly, he couldn't hold back and wanted to laugh.

Holding back his laughter, Feng Zhengming asked: "Then what do you think I should do? I don't seem to have put tables and chairs in your store, and I only put them out at night, after you have closed."

At this time, the other owner couldn't help it anymore: "What you said is wrong. We are closed for the night, so you can't just take over the front of our store to do business, right?"

When one person spoke, in addition to the clothing store proprietress, the four shop owners, including the small shop owner, all started talking.

The four people chatted for a long time, and the general idea was that they wanted Feng Zhengming to give them some money as compensation for setting up tables and chairs in front of their store to do business.

Feng Zhengming understood what they meant, and he no longer hid it.

"I think some of you may have misunderstood my intention of inviting you to this meal. Inviting you to this meal is our farewell meal."

Upon hearing the farewell meal, several store owners who were still clamoring for compensation suddenly shut up.

"Parting dinner? Are you leaving here? Are you going to open a new store somewhere else?"

This time even the proprietress of the clothing store suddenly thought about it.

They had been discussing together for a long time and had forgotten that Feng Zhengming could move the dry food shop.

This time their original plan was completely disrupted.

Still want to ask for money?
They are going to move away.

If the Feng Family Restaurant is moved away from this road, won't this road return to its previous half-dead state?
Even if there is some occasional business, it is obviously impossible to attract so many people here as the Feng Family Restaurant.

Among them, the owner of the small shop felt the most uncomfortable because he thought Feng Zhengming was going to move the replicas away.

How much business could his small shop get in the past?

Later, the Feng Family Cooking Shop opened next to it, and the business of his small shop was really getting better and better.

What if the Feng Family Restaurant moves from here?

How can a small shop have such good business now?

Thinking of this, the owner of the small shop quickly said: "Boss Feng, you don't actually need to move out. Those old customers are used to coming here to see your Feng family restaurant. If you move out, it will definitely affect your business.

I just told you that I wanted compensation, but that was all a joke. Your Feng family restaurant is here, and my small shop's business has been much better. How can I ask you for compensation?
If you feel that this store is too small now and want to open a big store, then there is no need to close this store. You can treat this store as your old store and find a place to open a new big store. You can still have business. "

As soon as the owner of the small shop said this, the other owners quickly agreed, saying that Feng Zhengming did not need to close this old shop.

Only the wife of the clothing store feels something is wrong? So she never spoke.

At first, the proprietress of the clothing store thought that Feng Zhengming was going to move the dry rice shop from here.

But when she thought about it carefully, she felt it was wrong.

If the Feng Family Restaurant finds a new restaurant and moves out, is there any need to treat them to dinner?

After Feng Zhengming nagged several bosses for a while, he was already a little bit dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that these bosses were really good at figuring things out.

They actually persuaded him not to close the old store together, and even gave him advice on how to use the old store to guide customer flow to the new store.

Previously, these bosses were still planning to seek compensation from Feng Zhengming. Trying to get a wave of gold coins from Feng's restaurant.

As a result, each one of them now transformed into a "counselor" and began to advise Feng Zhengming.

This dramatic reversal really made Feng Zhengming find it so interesting.

Wait quietly for them to say it's almost done.

Feng Zhengming finally said: "I didn't say that I wanted to move Ganfanpu. Many people have remembered the address of Ganfanpu. I definitely can't move it. Just like what several bosses said, if I want to open a new store, It won’t close here.”

After hearing this, several bosses suddenly felt relieved.

They all laughed and said, "That's right."

Then when they were about to toast, Feng Zhengming continued: "You are the ones who are leaving. Maybe you don't know yet, but the shops you rented have been sold to individuals. After the New Year, your lease period will be over." When it expires, you may have to move out, because your shop will belong to me after the New Year."

The restaurant was completely silent for a moment, everyone was completely quiet, and all eyes fell on Feng Zhengming.

Feng Zhengming continued: "I am going to expand the dry rice shop. The current dry rice shop is too small and ten tables are not enough. I will open up the five shops of yours with mine, and then renovate it and add Feng Zhengming to it. Jiagan Rice Shop has been completely expanded and turned into a convenience restaurant that serves pork and stir-fry vegetables.”

Feng Zhengming finally finished speaking and said what he really wanted to say to his bosses.

But the five store owners here, including their family members who brought them to eat today, were still a little hard to digest for a while.

Not even the proprietress of the clothing store expected that it would be such a result.

Feng Zhengming invited them to have this meal. In fact, he wanted to take back the shop they rented from them, and use this meal to give them a decent step down.

Through this meal, they were notified in advance, so that they would have time to find a new store before the year.

And after the New Year, I packed up everything in the shop and moved it away.

To say that Feng Zhengming's approach is really very kind.

Not only did he notify them in advance, but he also specially treated them to this meal.

It's just that the owners of the five stores still find it difficult to accept this result.

The owner of the small shop was still the first to speak.

"You can't do this. How can you talk to the landlord in private and take away our shop? Isn't this too immoral? We all have lease contracts."

This time the clothing store proprietress finally spoke.

"Boss Feng, you just said that the shop we rented already belonged to an individual? In other words, the shop we rented was sold to an individual? Did you get the news? Then you went to negotiate the lease with the person who bought the shop we rented. , does this mean that our shop is in your hands?"

Feng Zhengming saw just now that the proprietress of the clothing store had not spoken and knew that she was a relatively calm and capable woman.

The first time I came here, the dry rice shop had not yet been renovated.

This woman took the initiative to say hello and even offered to buy her own lunch box.

As a result, she didn't show up at noon the next day.

Feng Zhengming knew the boss lady was a powerful person at the first sight, so he didn't take her words seriously that time and sold out all the lunch boxes without asking her at all.

After hearing what the landlady said, Feng Zhengming nodded: "It's okay for the eldest sister to say so."

This time, several other bosses broke through their defenses instantly.

"Aren't you too unreasonable? Why do you want to intercept our shop?"

"Yes, you cut off our lease, and then you even invited us to dinner under the pretense of notifying us in advance. This is too cruel of you."

"I just won't move. I have a lease contract. Why do you say you want to move? Just move?"

The owner of the small shop finally said: "Just to tell you, in my lease contract, I have the priority to rent. Do you want to rent the shop secretly? There is no way."

After hearing the words of the small shop owner, Feng Zhengming smiled and said: "Sorry, the property rights of your shop already belong to me, and your lease contract is also in my hands. I know that your lease term expires at the end of the month, so After the expiration, I want to take back the shop and no longer rent it out, I think this should be okay?"

The shop owner stared at Feng Zhengming with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could you buy my shop?"

Feng Zhengming said calmly: "It seems that the news of the sale of the shops on this road has been released a long time ago, right? Haven't you seen it? I want to expand my business, and of course it will be more beneficial to buy the shops."

The owners of the five stores were speechless.

How could they not know about the pavement sale on this road?

It's just that some of them can't afford to buy it.

The clothing store proprietress has thought about it, is it possible to get a loan to buy the space of her own clothing store?

But after going to the bank to inquire, the clothing store proprietress couldn't provide enough guarantee and there were more complicated procedures to go through, so she finally gave up and planned to move out if the shop was sold.

In fact, including the small shop owners, most of the shop owners on this road have similar ideas.

If the shop you rent is sold and you can't reach an agreement with the new landlord, the worst possible outcome is that you will move away from this road.

However, the owners of their five stores did not expect that they would be the first batch to move out.

Feng Zhengming picked up the wine glass and said: "Don't worry, I will let you continue to work until the lease expires in accordance with your previous lease contract. Today's meal is an advance notice to you. If you continue to do business, before the end of the year, It is best to find a suitable shop.

After the Chinese New Year, your lease term is up, and you may be asked to move out from here.

Because after the Chinese New Year, our restaurant is going to be renovated and we need to open up all the walls on both sides. "

After saying these words, Feng Zhengming drank all the wine in the wine cup.

"I am treating you with courtesy first and then informing you one month in advance. I hope you can understand. In the future, our dry rice shop will be renovated and reopened. You are also welcome to come and get together when you are free. I will give you a discount."

Everything has been said clearly, and the owners of the five stores also understand that they have no right to bargain.

Although Feng Zhengming only said that he bought the small shop next door, several other owners probably guessed that the buyer of their shop might also be Feng Zhengming.

The proprietress of the clothing store was the first to pick up the wine glass and toast Feng Zhengming.

"Boss Feng is really young and promising. I didn't expect that in just half a year, he has already become famous in Quancheng and has the money to buy so many shops. The key is that Boss Feng's craftsmanship is indeed very good. I will convince you with this money." A glass of wine is a farewell, and I hope I can catch up with Boss Feng in the future."

Qian Jinxiu, the proprietress of the clothing store, first offered Feng Zhengming a glass of wine.

The other four store owners also toasted Feng Zhengming.

The matter of taking back the shop was settled smoothly.

　The second update is here, there will be another update later
