People are hired, clothes are ordered, it seems that everything is ready, just waiting for the opening day in five days, but before opening, I have to train these people well, it is easier to be like a cook , Washing meat, cutting meat, and skewering meat can be mastered after a few times. It is much more difficult when it comes to the cook, but fortunately, although these two teenagers have no experience, they are better than an obedient one. He Jiaan demonstrated a few After several times, you can learn almost the same, and the rest is a matter of heat.
The most difficult thing among these people is how to train the six waiters.
There are places to eat, although I am more sure about barbecue, but other restaurants also have other characteristics, so if you want to keep people, it depends on how effective these waiters can be.
First of all, it took He Jiaan a lot of effort to train the smiles of these waiters, so that six people stood in a row in the yard, and he stood in front of them, with a professional smile, and then said: "See, I The current smile is your most standard smile, customers come to the store to consume and to be a gentleman, so once they enter the door, they must be given a comfortable and warm environment.”
A big man had to imitate a woman's smile, and the waiters couldn't help lowering their heads and giggling regardless of He Jiaan's identity.
"Look, your kind of smile is not right." He Jiaan didn't make any excuses, but corrected him: "Your kind of laughter is called ridicule, as long as the customers who come to the store see your kind of smile, they will immediately laugh. Turn around and leave, do you believe it? Believe...no...believe."
It sounds as if what Mr. He said is quite reasonable. Several people immediately restrained their laughter just now. They just wanted to imitate He Jiaan's smile but didn't know how to imitate it. At this time, a woman standing in the middle suddenly said: "He Young master, we all forgot your smile just now, why don't you show us another laugh."
These words are usually said by men to women in brothels, but today it is reversed, but these people have invested their own money, so naturally they need to be trained well.
"See, like me, with an amiable expression, six to eight teeth are naturally exposed in the mouth, the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, pay attention, be slightly, you... yours is not too big, take it back, yes, That's right."
For the whole afternoon, He Jiaan did nothing, just taught a smile and taught the sun to sink, but fortunately, finally let these waiters understand what a smile looks like, although there are still some deficiencies in general, but this is also It doesn't matter, people these days are not so hypocritical, and they can get by in the first few days.
These newly hired people are all locals of Qingjiangpu, so there is no need for He Jiaan to provide food and lodging. After tidying up, he also returned to the Chen Mansion in a carriage, because he still had something on his mind, which was what kind of decision Chen Yueying had made.
First arranged Xiu'er back to his own yard, He Jia'an went straight to Chen Yueying's Xiulou, in his mind, Chen Yueying should be leaning in her garden at this time, with a sad face, in fact, there is nothing to worry about, As the saying goes, 'As long as the green hills are there, you are not afraid of running out of firewood', so even if you sell all those shops, you will be able to accumulate a large amount of wealth immediately, and then you can do whatever you want.
So when He Jiaan entered Chen Yueying's yard, he walked straight towards the back garden. When he was still some distance away from the yard, he suddenly heard a silver bell-like laughter, and He Jiaan's brows immediately frowned. Thinking about it, why is this a little different from what I thought? It stands to reason that Chen Yueying should be very anxious at this time, why is she still laughing now.
When Su Hongxiu saw He Jiaan appearing, she immediately covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Just now my sister said that my brother-in-law is busy recently and has no time. If you don't talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here."
Chapter 50 Fox Tail
Why is she here?
He Jiaan's first reaction was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly returned the gift, and said with a smile: "Yueying is right. My barbecue restaurant just happens to be opening recently. I will invite sister Su to visit me then."
"Barbecue restaurant?" The surprise on Su Hongxiu's face didn't seem to be fake. Maybe she only paid attention to Chen Yueying in her intelligence, and didn't take He Jiaan seriously, so when she heard He Jiaan talk about the barbecue restaurant, the expression on her face Immediately confused, she blinked her eyes and looked at Chen Yueying puzzledly and asked, "Why doesn't my sister say anything about such a big matter, do you think my sister is an outsider?"
Whether it's an outsider or an insider, Chen Yueying already had her own thoughts in her heart. Although she had doubts about Su Hongxiu in her heart, the expression on her face seemed more intimate. She gently held Su Hongxiu's arm and said: " Sister Su, don't be fooled by him, what kind of barbecue restaurant, it's just that he eats it himself."
Su Hongxiu is not so easy to fool, after all, now is a more important time for him, so he naturally needs to know more about the movements of the Chen family, maybe he can find out how much cash the Chen family still has.
"It would be great if it were as easy as my sister said. You may not know that the prices of shops in Qingjiangpu are all rolling up. I also wanted to open a business a few days ago, but when I asked At this price, guess what?"
"What's the matter?" Chen Yueying listened with surprise.
"It's just a small shop. The annual rent is 80 taels, 80 taels. It's not sure how much the shop can earn a year. It's all rented." Su Hongxiu complained, eyes While shuttling between the faces of the two people, he carefully observed the expressions on the faces of the two people.
"Only 80 taels?" It was He Jiaan who responded first, looking at Su Hongxiu in surprise, then at Chen Yueying and said: "Sister Su said the price is not expensive, but the one we rented costs 150 taels." , By the way, Sister Su, where is the shop you mentioned, I will rent it now."
"This..." Su Hongxiu was a little embarrassed. After all, she just made up what she said just now. Where can I find such a shop? , that shop has already been rented out."
At this time, Chen Yueying probably understood the meaning of He Jiaan's words, and sighed lightly in agreement, and said in a tone that did not find a cheap one: "There is still such a cheap shop, it would be nice to rent it earlier, anyway, he opened it. This barbecue restaurant is not trying to make money, so it would be better to pay less."
Hearing this tone, it seemed that these two people didn't pay attention to the more than 100 taels of silver at all. How could this be completely inconsistent with the information they got.
The suspicion in Su Hongxiu's heart was even stronger, but seeing the expressions of the two people looked so natural, it didn't seem like they were lying to themselves. Could it be that the Chen family still had cash and could last for a while?
Thinking of this, Su Hongxiu couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart, so she couldn't help but test out: "It seems that the Chen family's wealth is really not comparable to those of us small families. Only the Chen family can do it."
The drama meat really came.
Chen Yueying couldn't help turning her eyes to He Jia'an, looking at his plain smile, she thought of the conversation between the two last night, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it seems that there is only one way to go.
Mingming was sighing in her heart, but her face was still very relaxed. Chen Yueying lamented deliberately: "Sister Su must have underestimated herself too much. The Su family is also one of the best big families in Qingjiangpu. It doesn't look like what Sister Su said It’s just a small family, and besides, the Chen family’s business has not been very good recently, I’m thinking about whether to sell a few shops first.”
"Selling a shop?" Su Hongxiu's heart skipped a beat. She was wondering if her plan had worked. When the Chen family couldn't stand it anymore, He Jia'an suddenly said, "No, I won't." agree."
What kind of onion are you? It's your turn to make decisions about the Chen family's affairs.
Su Hongxiu just wanted to continue what Chen Yueying said, but He Jiaan denied Chen Yueying's words with one sentence, and then said with a righteous face: "These shops are the root of the Chen family. Although the business has been a bit sluggish recently, But it won’t be so low forever, besides, the Chen family hasn’t reached the point where they can’t hold on anymore, so we have to wait until next year to buy it.”
Su Hongxiu's eyes suddenly went dark, good guy, He Jia'an's work has actually lasted until next year, but what he said is indeed true, after all, Chen Yueying has already started to rectify the business, as long as these shopkeepers are replaced, Chen The family's business will definitely prosper again, and it will not be so easy to start by yourself at that time.
No, no matter what you say, you can't make Chen Yueying listen to He Jiaan's words. Su Hongxiu thought of this and suddenly said: "Brother-in-law, you are a scholar. If you don't understand business matters, you can't talk nonsense. The Chen family is rich, but business is generally poor now." Not very good, what if you don’t make money for a long time?”
"I think that if the Chen family wants to sell the shop, now is the best time. If it really lasts until next year as you said, if it still doesn't make money, these shops will not be at the current price."
After finishing speaking, Su Hongxiu took a peek at Chen Yueying, seeing that her face was quite moved, and felt that there was some way in her heart, so she took the opportunity to fill the fire and said: "It just so happens that the elders in the family are going to open a few houses. The shop sells fabrics, if my sister really wants to sell the shop, I'll go back and ask how about it for you?"
"This..." The hesitation on Chen Yueying's face became more intense, she couldn't help but look up at He Jiaan, and asked as if she couldn't make up her mind, "Jia'an, what do you think?"
Shops are definitely going to be sold, but how to sell them and how much to sell them for is not so easy. After all, these shops of the Chen family bought them earlier and their locations are very good. After all, the Chen family is turning around with the money they sold.
"It's definitely not possible to sell all the shops, but it doesn't matter if you only sell a few in bad locations, it's just..."
Su Hongxiu just felt that the matter could be accomplished, but suddenly heard He Jiaan say something, and asked eagerly, "Just what?"
He Jiaan smiled at her and said, "It's just that I don't know how much these shops are worth. How can I sell them?"
He Jiaan glanced quickly, then quickly turned his gaze back, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss Hongxiu, I've thought of a good way, which will naturally make the price of this shop just right."
Chapter 51 All Auctions
Su Hongxiu had already left, and she left with a lot of confusion. Even after hearing He Jiaan's explanation, she still felt a little doubt about this auction method. Isn't it just a transfer of a shop? Do you want to startle the whole city?
Chen Yueying was also puzzled like her. After seeing off Su Hongxiu, the two of them came to He Jiaan's yard again and sat in the same position as yesterday. Chen Yueying asked impatiently: "Jia'an, what did you say?" What happened to the auction?"
An auction is an auction, so what is there to understand?
He Jiaan came out with a small kettle, and lit a fire on the stove in the yard. When he saw the small flame slowly rising, he suddenly said, "Well, let me just say that this Su Hongxiu There is a problem, look at her impatient look, I am afraid she has been waiting for you to let go."
Indeed, in the case of Su Hongxiu, it was my fault, but how could I have thought that this elder sister who cared about me would have such evil intentions, Chen Yueying said aggrievedly with an embarrassing expression on her face, "But things are already like this. What shall we do?"
"It's simple."
When the water boiled, He Jiaan took the kettle off the stove, put it aside first, then sneered and said, "She wants those shops, then sell them all to her."
"Do you really want to sell them all?" Chen Yueying still had a feeling of reluctance for those shops. When she thought of the disappearance of Chen Ji, which used to be all over Qingjiangpu, she really couldn't describe the feeling in words.
Why can't this person think about it? As the saying goes, if you don't go to the old, you can't come to the new. The old model of the Chen family is already a little behind. Wouldn't it be better to take this opportunity to make a big transformation.
"Of course it will be sold. I have an idea in my mind for the time being. I will tell you when it is mature. I will never let so much silver go moldy in the warehouse. Now I will tell you what is going on with this auction. "
Chen Yueying can prove that silver will not go moldy in the warehouse, but she is still a little curious about He Jiaan's thoughts. She just heard about a concept, and when she didn't understand it, he stopped talking, and she didn't know if it was this. To defend against Su Hongxiu.
"The auction is actually very simple to explain. It's like now, I have a relatively high value item in my hand. I want to sell it for cash, but I don't know how much I should sell it for."
"For example, if you are a buyer, you naturally want to sell it as cheap as possible, but I want to sell this item at a high price. There is a conflict between the two of us. What should we do if there is a problem? The auction is to solve this problem one of the methods."
"First of all, post what this thing is and use a notice to let everyone in the city know where you sell this thing on a certain day and time, and then all those who are interested in this will naturally gather together. Let me offer a low price first, for example, the base price of this kettle is one tael, and now if you are one of the buyers and you really want to buy this kettle, what do you think you should do?"
