I’m The King Chapter 47: :One step further
"The idea is really great, I mean, it's not perfect yet." Gao Yuan smiled, and continued: "Since Mr. Wu intends to open the best restaurant, in my opinion, everything in it It must be the best, not just wine.”
"Everything is the best, what do you mean?" Wu Kai shook his head and said, "Nephew Gao Xian, this is not easy to define. I think that we have the best wine, which is enough to make a name for ourselves."
"Master Wu, don't forget that our wine will be sold freely in the future. At that time, all the restaurants in the county will start selling our wine, so our restaurant will have no advantage at all Already?"
"My goal is to sell wine. If the goal is achieved, I don't care if the restaurant makes money."
"No, since we are doing it, we must do our best, and Mr. Wu, this is a hugely profitable industry. If it is operated well, the profit will far exceed that of selling wine." Gao Yuan threw out the bait.
Sure enough, when he heard that the profit was far higher than other liquor sales, which was already a huge profit for Wu Kai, his interest was immediately aroused.
"How can he make such a big profit?"
"There is no one else, dear ear!" Gao Yuan laughed.
Wu Kai and Lu Hong looked at each other.
"Just that?"
"Of course not, it's expensive, naturally there must be a reason for it!" Gao Yuan said: "First of all, the decoration of our restaurant must be exquisite, and we must not make it as brilliant as a nouveau riche. You know, the county It’s no different than ours, it must be unique, and after people come here once, they will remember our uniqueness.”
"That's easy to say!" Wu Kai said.
"Secondly, since it is the most expensive, the things inside must be the best, the best master, the best waiter, the best kabuki, the best dancer, and the best luthier. "
"Wait, wait!" Wu Kai said puzzledly: "We are a restaurant, what do we need these people for? And we want the best?"
"Master Wu, you can't just treat him as a restaurant!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Who are our target groups? Those who are rich and powerful. These people don't have anything at home. They come Eating and drinking outside, is it just eating and drinking? No, if so, they would still prefer to eat and drink at home, is it better than eating outside? We want to make it a place for meeting friends, a place for business, A place to put on a face, as long as the guest can think of it, we can do it for him.”
"This is a bit difficult!" Wu Kai gasped.
"So, we want the best." Gao Yuan said affirmatively: "The initial investment must be huge, but once it starts to operate, I can guarantee that the financial resources will definitely come in."
"Nephew so sure?"
"Of course!" Gao Yuan was full of confidence, "To make customers feel good, it must be the best, that is, the most expensive. We have what others have and are better, but we have what others don't have. Yes. After laying this foundation, we can charge a high fee. At that time, if you want to enter the door of our restaurant, okay, you have to pay the entrance fee first. We don’t have a hall here, only private rooms, including There is a private room fee, and each private room has a dedicated waiter, which requires a service fee, of course, if you want dancers, musicians, and kabuki, that's fine, as long as you are willing to pay, you can have them."
Wu Kai took a breath, "Here, is there anyone here?"
"Of course there are people who come here. In this world, there are many people who want this taste, what they want is a face. If others can't afford it, he comes here to spend a lot of money. Isn't it a matter of face? Our restaurant is just an ordinary bowl of braised pig's trotters, and we have to charge him a thousand and eight hundred Wen." Gao Yuan laughed.
"Nephew is joking!" Both Wu Kai and Lu Hong laughed.
"Master Wu, uncle, what's so ridiculous about this, let's give this braised pig's trotter a new name, and call it Hongsu Shou. With this name, isn't the mood different?" Gao Yuan laughed Road.
"Red Crisp Hands, Yellow Vine Wine, Spring Palace Wall Willows all over the city!" Wu Kai laughed, "Such a poem with artistic conception was actually used by you as the name of pig's trotters. Disgusting scenery.”
"It's okay to spoil the scenery, as long as someone is willing to pay for it!" Gao Yuan said with a smile. Let’s put a piece of chives on it, or we can call him a dragon crossing the river. Anyway, the name is so elegant, so people can’t understand how to come, and finally, it’s expensive. To do this business, we just want to It’s expensive, don’t think it’s right, if you think it’s expensive, don’t come!”
"Let's take another example of the kabuki, dancers, luthiers and musicians in our restaurant. First, let's make it clear that they don't sell themselves as performers, and they don't sell them for how much money they pay. If anyone dares to be strong, they will be dragged out, Mr. Wu, In this way, do you think the grade of our restaurant has suddenly gone up?"
Wu Kai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Gao Yuan, really moved.
"But it's so expensive, what if no guests come to the door?"
"Let's just say that during this period of time, don't we have good wine as a gimmick? If you want to drink good wine, you have to come to us. Slowly, everyone will discover the benefits here Already."
"What you said earlier is indeed true, but my nephew, the county is not as rich as Fufeng County, and there are many powerful people. What if these people make trouble?"
"So, we have to bring in the prefect, this is the first, and second, we naturally have to treat those who can hold our necks in a special way, for example, in our restaurant. A special room, no one else is allowed to enter this room, only for him to use, and other charges can be discounted, so that he can save face? The prefect was a shareholder at the time, and this building was his, and he Naturally, there is a house that belongs to him, and everything is free.”
"It makes sense, it's worth a try!" Wu Kai was eager to try.
"As long as Mr. Wu is willing to invest, I still have a few recipes for wine making." Gao Yuan smiled.
"Is there any other recipe for wine making?" Wu Kai was surprised and delighted.
"That's right, they make fruit wine." Gao Yuan said in a calm and unhurried manner, "Let's make some colorful fruit wine and put them in the restaurant, which can also attract the families of the rich and powerful. Master Wu, what do you think?" Think, our restaurant has private rooms, and rich people can still rent a room for a long time, as long as you pay for it, right? In this way, their family members come to the restaurant without being exposed to publicity, isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?”
"Wait a minute, you said this wine is colorful?"
"Of course red orange yellow green blue blue purple, you can make any color you want!" Gao Yuan said.
Wu Kai raised his eyebrows rapidly, staring at Gao Yuan, "How much?"
Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Wu Kai thought he was going to sell the prescription again, so he smiled and said: "Master Wu is out of touch, since this restaurant has my uncle and I's shares, it is natural What money do we need for our own business? Of course, it would be best if you could forgive me the one thousand strings I borrowed earlier!"
Wu Kai couldn't help but laugh, Lu Hong smiled and shook his head, he couldn't see that Gao Yuan was still so tired.
"Okay, I don't want this thousand guan. Your prescription is only one thousand guan. When will you give it to me?"
"I'll write to you when I get back." Gao Yuan said generously.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Wu Kai stretched out his hand to hold Gao Yuan's hand and laughed.
"However, Mr. Wu, we can sell this white wine, but we can't sell this colorful fruit wine. We must take it easy and sell it out frequently. Even if there is, I would say there is no more." Gao Yuan said mysteriously.
"I understand, I understand, rare things are the most valuable, the less they are, the more expensive they can be sold!" Wu Kai deeply agrees.
"My lord is indeed a genius in business!" Gao Yuan flattered again, "But lord Wu, why didn't you want to make more money on liquor?"
"It's been a pot of money now, and I'm a little scared to sell it."
"In the future when our restaurant opens, you can go to a potter to make a jug of different shapes, then put the wine in it, and give them a nice name, for example, a hundred Sunzui, Yutangchun, etc., I am not very good at it, but if you want to listen to it elegantly, you will have a artistic conception, just like this braised pig's trotter, we call it Hongsu Shou. We can raise the price if we name it. Besides, the jug, the more exquisite it is, the more expensive it will be sold. Well, it is best that this utensil for holding wine can be used as an ornament and placed at home for appreciation even after the wine is finished. In this way, Even if it's a catty of wine, we can still sell it for a jug, right?"
Lu Hong on the other side was dumbfounded, and looked at Gao Yuan, "Gao Yuan, where did you learn these things? Why didn't I know you had the talent to do business before?"
"It's okay to think about it!" Gao Yuan said with a sloppy eye: "I used to have an uncle who took care of me, and I didn't know how much money I paid if I wasn't in charge of the family. Now I have more than a hundred people under my command, eating, drinking, and messing around, but I worry about it. I want to make money!"
Lu Hong nodded: "Thanks for your hard work!" In his heart, he naturally thought that Gao Yuan made so much money to build an army for his elder brother Lu Chao, so he naturally had to thank him. Explanation.
Wu Kai looked at Gao Yuan, "Nephew, you have such a heart, it's too incompetent to lead soldiers, why don't you become this soldier, and come to help me with business, I won't treat you badly, the shares are the same, and they will be re-opened every year." How about your thousand wages?"
Lu Hong was taken aback, and was about to speak, but Gao Yuan waved his hands again and again: "Master Wu, I can only come up with ideas here, you really want me to go into business, and I have to pay so much that I don't even have to wear my pants. "
"It's enough to have an idea! An idea is worth a thousand dollars. When you say that, I immediately feel that our restaurant has a bright future. First, we will open a restaurant in Liaoxi County. If we make money, we will open it in Yuyang County. Going to Jicheng, these places are much richer than our Liaoxi County, I'm really excited to think about it."
"It's not just these places, Mr. Wu, we not only want to bloom everywhere in Dayan, Zhao Han Qin Wei Chu Qi, no matter which country they are, they must have our restaurant!" Gao Yuan even blew loudly.
Wu Kai took it for granted. Lu Hong blinked his eyes, watching the old and the young with their heads tied together, talking deeply about how to develop, but he couldn't get in the way, so he had to drink on the sidelines and get bored Tea, just drink a pot of tea to the last drop.
