The Urban Successor of God of Gluttony Chapter 254: Invitation from the nobility
Shu Yu knew that Gu Zheng had good cooking skills, and he knew it when he was studying.
Later, Guzheng made fried eggs. She also ate Guzheng's fried eggs and knew the taste. Later, Guzheng went to participate in the Hangcheng Food Contest, and Guzheng won the championship.
At that time, in her opinion, Guzheng's cooking was very good, definitely reaching the level of a master, but it was only so. She never thought that Guzheng won the championship of the National Food Contest.
And it is said to be the most powerful champion with the highest gold content.
No. 1 in the country, completely different from the previous Hangzhou City Competition, and the National Gourmet Competition is the most recognized competition in the country. Fighting for the first place is equivalent to making him the most famous in the food industry. People.
"I haven't concealed it, I haven't always shown my cooking skills before!"
Gu Zheng said with a smile, but Shu Yu was a little stunned. Gu Zheng was right. He did not conceal his cooking skills. He also cooked them before.
They didn’t think that Gu Zheng had such a good cooking skill.
"How is your business?"
Gu Zhancha opened the subject. He had shown his cooking skills before, but at that time he hadn’t got the inheritance of the celestial being. It was very different from the current cooking skills. Shu Yu wouldn’t know , Not even thinking about it.
"I have opened 150 directly-operated stores in Shencheng, Hangcheng and Sucheng, 70% are profitable, 20% are flat, and only 10% are in a loss , But they are all new stores and have not yet made a name for themselves, I believe they will be profitable soon!"
Speaking of his own business, Shu Yu raised a little interest. This time Gu Gu was surprised. Shu Yu’s store opened for more than a year. I didn’t expect to have opened so many stores. The most important ones are directly operated stores.
The direct store is to invest by yourself. The franchise chain can collect other people’s money and let others open it in their own name. The meaning is completely different. The direct store is to invest by yourself, and joining is to make money.
Over a year, 150 direct-operated stores have been opened. Although such a small store is not a big investment, it needs at least 200,000 to 300,000. If the store is bigger, it is even higher. Over time, Shu Yu has invested tens of millions.
Although Guzheng also made a lot of money, it is really different from Shu Yu. First of all, he got the old soup of Sun family, made a better taste of chicken blood soup, and later found several tasty food.
Second, he also has the partner of Changjia, which can let him have no worries. Shu Yu makes small fast food, very cheap ravioli, Lin Run is not as high as his chicken blood soup, and It’s a small shop. It’s really not easy to open so many direct stores in this situation.
Another point is that Shu Yu absolutely did not rely on her parents. This ancient dispute is very clear. If she had to rely on her parents, she would not have opened a small shop on her own.
Only by himself, it can be made like this. Shu Yu is definitely the first of their classmates.
As for him, although he earns more than Shu Yu, he does not rely on himself. He has the cheating device of the immortal order and the partner of the family, and finally earned so much. The two are different in nature. .
"It’s nice, congratulations!"
Gu Zheng gave his thumbs up, and his old classmate had done his career. He was also very happy and happy for Shu Yu.
"But this is still better than you. Gu Ji Chicken Blood Soup has become a benchmark in the fast food industry and cannot be copied!"
Shu Yu is right this time. Many people want to make money like Gu Ji Chicken Blood Soup, but unfortunately they don’t have the taste of Gu Ji. Without that taste, they can’t attract customers.
The existence of the ancient record has once again proved the rule of winning taste. The true cuisine must be the best.
"Let’s talk inside!"
Gu Zheng pointed to the coffee house next to them. They have been talking on the road. Many people have looked back at them. This is really not the place to talk.
"Okay!"
Shu Yu readily agreed that in the coffee shop, Gu Zheng also learned about Shu Yu's entrepreneurial history over the past year.
Her development is indeed good, but it is also very difficult. Shortly after Guzheng left, she started to prepare for the branch. Opening the branch asked for money. She did not have much money in hand and thought of financing. .
She only has a small shop. It is not easy to get financing. Many people are reluctant to invest in her. The last venture capitalist took a fancy to her business, but only invested 500,000.
500,000, only two stores can be opened at most, which can not meet Shu Yu's expectations.
However, it is better to open two, than to rely on these 500,000, and to rely on these three stores. The reputation of the three stores is very good, and the benefits are very fast, which makes the venture capital very satisfied. After that, an additional investment of five million yuan was added.
On the basis of these five million yuan, and then borrowed from the bank, Shu Yu fully developed her royal ravioli to the size of 150 now, and because she is developing too fast, she is still Negative assets owe a lot of money to the bank.
However, the overall benefits of all her stores are very good. Catering is originally a profitable business. Now 70% of her stores are profitable, and more than 50% of the stores can fully return the cost within one year. According to the current development, it will be paid back in two years at the latest.
That is, 30% of them are not profitable, most of them are newly opened, and it is not time to make profit. Only three of them have been losing money because of wrong location selection, but they have not lost much. Shu Yu fully supported it.
Because the venture capital investment is relatively early, after several capital increases, the venture capital still accounts for 30 shares, so Shu Yu has only 70% of the equity, and the company is not her alone.
Venture also wanted to continue investing to increase its shareholding, but Shu Yu refused it, and now it has expanded, and can’t eat fat at a stretch, it is necessary to digest all the current, stabilize it, and then expand it later.
"Why not join a franchise, so you can relax a lot and make more money!"
Ancient dispute asked casually, direct management should invest by itself. Chain franchise not only don’t pay, but also collect franchise fees, and then provide a source of goods can also earn a sum of money, which is more cost-effective.
Shu Yu shook his head: "Many people have to join. I refused. I don’t plan to join the franchise mode in the future. All direct sales are more profitable to join, but the forest is big and it is easy to get bad birds. A franchise store can ruin my brand. My most valuable brand now is the brand, which must be protected!"
"In addition, really good, the top companies do not follow the franchise model, all are directly managed by themselves, so it is easier to control!"
Shu Yu thought about joining the model at first, but it would be unknown, and no one would like to join. Now that she is famous, she feels the benefits of direct management, and she is not thinking about joining.
It is better to develop slowly, but also to maintain your own brand. This old dispute is agreed. Many people want to join his ancient chicken blood soup, and he has never agreed.
It’s a great pleasure to know a friend from another country, let alone an old classmate from a foreign country.
Guzheng and Shu Yu ate dinner together before leaving. They agreed to go back to the food festival together. Guzheng is a special guest at the food festival. When the time comes, they want to make food. Shu Yu also said that he must go and taste it.
Going home, Gu Ming hasn't gotten off work yet. Gu Zheng simply took out the ingredients of the flooded space to prepare a delicious dinner.
He cooked the food yesterday, but he used the ingredients here. Gu Ming used the same ingredients, but they were only inferior, not much inferior, and there was no such thing as an ordinary level.
The ingredients produced by Guzheng are above ordinary, and the taste and taste will be better.
When Gu Ming came back, Gu Zheng had just made it. Gu Zheng made four dishes and was eaten clean by Gu Ming. This meal finally made Gu Ming understand why those people said that Gu Zheng this time Has the highest gold content.
I changed the ingredients, and the food I made was really extraordinary.
He was absolutely unable to make such a delicious meal. Gu Ming praised Gu Zheng very much, which made Gu Zheng very proud, but unfortunately too proud, it was not good. After the praise, Gu Ming's words turned around He wanted Guzheng to provide him with these better ingredients.
Fortunately, Gu Ming didn’t need much. If he wanted more, Gu Zheng couldn’t help. These good ingredients were all saved by Gu Zheng, and he didn’t have much.
Fortunately, Gu Ming wanted all public ingredients, and some of them are ingredients that Gu Zheng can improve. He can provide a lot of such ingredients.
Even if Gu Ming doesn’t want to, Gu Zheng will leave him a part, after all, this is his father, and he is currently the closest person.
At the same time, in a small town in England, one of the five Indians was kneeling on the ground, looking at a mirror in front of him.
A vortex appears in the mirror, and the Indian heads are afraid to lift it in the face of this vortex.
"He can really absorb your power?"
The dull sound came from the mirror, and the Indian headed nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Master, Titak’s power was once absorbed by him, but then he returned!"
Ti Tucker, the unlucky egg that had been sucked away by Gu Zheng before.
"He also said that he is from Emei, let us tell you!"
The Indians continued to kneel and said softly that the vortex in the mirror kept shaking again, but no sound came out.
"The plan is cancelled, you come back first!"
It took a long time for the voice in the mirror to say a word. The Indian first wiped his head and left the room. After he left, the mirror sighed faintly.
"Emei, I haven't been back in a long time!"
The next day, Guzheng got up early in the morning. The Lyon Food Festival held an opening ceremony today. As a special guest, he is going to attend today. Paris is not close to Lyon, and the high-speed train takes more than an hour. , Need to start early.
Chang Le once said that he would use a private jet to pick him up, but Gu Zheng refused. He just came to an event and didn’t want to be so high-profile.
It wasn’t until Lyon Guzheng realized that he had been wrong before. Even if Chang Le sent him by private plane, he would not be high-profile. There are too many private planes here.
The Lyon Food Festival has become a place for European nobles to play a few years ago. Now it has become more serious. Not only the European nobles, but many other nobles and rich people have also begun to participate.
The most typical people are Arabs and UAE. Several princes participated in this food festival. They not only had private planes, but also brought their pets, some brought eagles, some brought pythons, and more Someone brought a leopard and a lion.
However, these pets are required to be kept in cages. They are absolutely not allowed to be released, and there are police officers watching them.
Even so, they are very high-profile. A prince must walk the carpet from getting off the car. The walked place must be covered with carpet. The carpet once walked will never be walked, and it must be a high-end carpet.
That's it, he will walk away thousands of meters of carpet a day.
There are many patterns of nobles in the Middle East, and there are also many patterns of these ancient nobles in Europe. Some people directly pulled a house by car. This is a real RV, and some people came with a cavalry composed of two hundred people, but His army is dressed up as a medieval knight, not a modern army.
Modern troops, even if they are nobles, cannot be brought out in such a big swing.
All in all, there are so many things here, only what you can’t think of, nothing you can’t see, makes Guzheng sigh is eye-opening, never thought people can play so many tricks.
"Hello Mr. Gu, my name is Hao Sen, and there is a French name Lalamp. I will serve you throughout this time!"
After Gu Zheng arrived at the food festival venue, a person came to pick him up very quickly. It was an oriental face, but he had joined the French nationality and was a French Chinese.
"Hello!"
Gu Zheng reached out and shook hands with him politely. Hesen was about twenty-six or sixty years old. He was not tall and was in his early sevens, but the whole person looked very spiritual.
Gu Zheng has a good impression on him, the reason is very simple. When he introduced himself, he first introduced his Chinese name, whether it is because Gu Zheng came from Huaxia, he can introduce it like this, Gu Zheng is very satisfied .
This is different from the young man I met before, it is a scum that forgets the ancestor.
"I represent Sir Brown, thank you for coming to this event!"
Hawson took over everything from Guzheng and said another sentence. Guzheng looked back in surprise: "Sir Brown, what happened? I was not directly invited by your organizing committee?"
"Sir Brown is one of the members of the organizing committee~IndoMTL.com~ he proposed to invite you to participate, so you are both an invitation of the organizing committee and a distinguished guest of Sir Brown!"
Hawson explained slowly, Gu Zheng's eyes widened, quite speechless.
His invitation letter only had the name of the organizing committee, and he never mentioned Sir Brown, but he never expected to come here and come out with such a person again.
And listening to the meaning of Hausen, it seems that he was invited by Sir Brown, which was originally an invitation from the public, and suddenly became a privately invited guest, which made Guzheng a little unacceptable.
In fact, Gu Ming knew that the so-called invitations of the organizing committee are all nobles themselves. Although he did not know which nobles invited, he understood that there must be a noble behind the ancient dispute.
The reason why Gu Ming didn’t say it was that he wanted Gu Zheng to experience it himself, so that he would become more disgusted and would not participate in such activities in the future.
This Sir Brown is a Spanish nobleman, but stays in France all the year round. He is young and in his early thirties. He is an inherited knighthood. His ancestors were European noblemen for hundreds of years...
