Outside, the autumn rain was falling and the weather was slightly cool.

Perhaps it was because it had just rained, or it was already past meal time, but the large restaurant of Rice Really Fragrant Fast Food did not seem busy. Seven or eight chefs and a dozen packagers were chatting and drinking tea, leisurely and contented.

The panic and confusion of a few days ago are gone.

From their eyes, it seems that we can see their longing and expectations for the future.

Seeing Gao Yousi come in, the employees immediately stopped talking, stood up, and tidied their clothes a little cautiously.

They had met Gao Yousi and knew from Xiao Longbo that this man was the investor and actual controller of Fanzhenxiang Fast Food.

"Mr. Gao."

"Hello, Mr. Gao."

Gao Yousi waved his hand, obviously not interested in this level of compliment.

He looked around, then frowned and asked with a gloomy face: "Where are Xiao Longbo and Ji Feiyang? Where have they gone?"

"I'm here."

Xiao Longbo walked in with a dark face and his body was wet. It was obvious that he had just been caught in the rain and was in a very bad mood.

However, Gao Yousi was in a worse mood than him. He snorted lightly and had no intention of giving Xiao Longbo any face. Instead, he asked in front of the store employees: "What kind of aircraft are you working on recently? Didn't you agree to open a new one?"

Two branches? But you are still running around in circles?"

Xiao Longbo's expression changed, and he clenched his fists. He had never been scolded like this since he became the vice president of the student union, and a feeling of humiliation suddenly filled his heart.

However, facing Gao Yousi, the financial backer's father, he did not dare to get angry, so he had to quickly explain: "Mr. Gao, it's not that I don't want to open it, it's just that the situation has changed."

After speaking, he pointed to the other side of the road: "Didn't you see it when you came in just now? A new Zhenxiang fast food opened opposite us, which took away a lot of our business. This Zhenxiang fast food is so shameless, we obviously have well water

If they don't offend, they still want to open a store opposite us to steal business. If they hadn't caused trouble, the second store would have been opened long ago."

However, Gao Yousi didn't want to hear these explanations from Xiao Longbo. He invested in Fanzhenxiang Fast Food to make money. Now he saw that the money was less than expected, so of course he wanted to ask Xiao Longbo for an explanation.

As for whether Zhenxiang Fast Food is causing trouble, he doesn't care at all.

"If Zhenxiang Fast Food comes to open a store and you have no business, doesn't that mean you are doing rubbish? I don't care about this. You must act in accordance with the requirements of the contract anyway. You will open ten branches within this year. In the spring of next year, you will still have

You are going to the capital and Baiyun to open up new markets and come up with some tricks for me!"

He doesn't care what the future development of Fanzhenxiang Fast Food will be, or whether the hidden dangers brought about by rapid expansion will affect the company's potential.

He had no intention of holding Fan Zhenxiang's equity for a long time. Instead, he planned to cash out directly during the A-round financing and make money first.

Therefore, what Gao Yousi needs now is a beautiful financial report, and what he needs is the rapid growth of Fan Zhenxiang's various data.

At this time, an employee walked outside carrying a basin of food scraps, and Gao Yousi saw it. He immediately asked: "What is this?"

The employee answered honestly: "It's some leftover ingredients."

"Where are you going?"

The employee's eyes became strange, and he said angrily: "Of course it will be thrown away."

Gao Yousi suddenly raised his voice a few degrees: "Why should these ingredients be thrown away?"

Xiao Longbo quickly explained: "This is how Zhenxiang Fast Food works. Ingredients that cannot be used up that day must be processed to avoid damaging the brand image because customers eat stale food."

Gao Yousi sneered at this statement and said: "What ingredients will go bad on the same day? Even if it is three to five days, the ingredients are only slightly stale. Besides, what if the ingredients are stale? You can't eat it to death, you won't

Marinate it with heavy oil and salt? Just add more chili pepper or something so that customers can't eat it."

He said very unhappily: "No wonder your expenses are so high. How can such wasteful expenses be small? The hotel makes small profits but quick turnover. It doesn't make much money in the first place, but you fucking waste it all on this."

Although he was scolded, he was still a college student after all, and his conscience was not completely forgotten, so Xiao Longbo said hesitantly: "But will there be any problems if we do this?"

Gao Yousi looked at Xiao Longbo with contempt: "What a stupid question! Who doesn't do this when running a restaurant? Do you understand how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure? Anyway, just do what I say, they have all been reduced to eating box lunches.

Today, who cares about whether you are healthy or not?"

“If you don’t spend a million dollars in angel round investment, you won’t be able to survive rounds A and B. Moreover, if you spend too much money and there is no effect, you won’t be able to get high valuations in rounds A and B.

It’s worth it, think about it yourself!”

After Gao Yousi finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Xiao Longbo thought for a long time and finally made up his mind.

The clerk was holding the ingredients and stood very hard, so he had to ask: "Mr. Xiao, do you still want to throw away these ingredients?"

"If it stops pouring, put it back in the refrigerator. As for the meat, marinate it first thing tomorrow morning and then sell it normally."

"Okay, I understand."

The situation is stronger than people. If Xiao Longbo wants to make big money, he has to do what Gao Yousi said.

In fact, the reason for the huge waste is that he "knows it but doesn't know why." He only knows that Lu Yiming's daily ingredients are not overnight, but he ignores Lu Yiming's accurate statistics on the usage of raw materials every day, and

Make a preliminary estimate. According to Lu Yiming's algorithm, the remaining ingredients every day are less than 5% of the total ingredients.

Moreover, these ingredients will not be wasted. Instead, they will be processed directly as special ingredients during get off work hours in the evening and sold to small vendors doing late-night snack business.

For ordinary people, let alone the 1990s now, even in another twenty years, it will be impossible for the ingredients to be kept overnight at home, and it would be good to not eat overnight meals, so these ingredients are actually still very fresh.

, belongs to the category of edible.

It's just that Lu Yiming didn't dare to sell it to customers for the sake of the brand image of Zhenxiang Fast Food.

But selling to vendors is no problem, because they are not "customers", and the purchasing price of ingredients for Zhenxiang Fast Food is inherently low due to the large quantity. If there is another special offer, the vendors selling late-night snacks simply cannot refuse.

Over and over again, the current cooperation between the two parties has basically reached a tacit understanding. Every night after 9:30, Zhenxiang Fast Food will take out the ingredients that are not used up that day, allowing these small vendors to come and buy them, first come first served, every time

They can all be sold cleanly, with basically no waste.

But these things are not available in fast food.

In fact, this is a common problem among all copycats. They learn the form but not the spirit. Little do they know that the details determine success or failure. This is why it is said that those who learn from me will live like me and those who will die like me will die. Learning requires one's own thinking, blindly plagiarizing and Imitation, without its own core, will not go far at all.

A week later.

Xiao Longbo got up early. There was no class in the morning, so he went to the store to keep an eye on it.

"Mr. Xiao."

"Hello, Mr. Xiao."

"Well, hello everyone."

Xiao Longbo enjoyed the feeling of a successful person. When he walked into the kitchen area, he looked around for a few times, then frowned and asked, "Where is Kong Ergou? Isn't it his turn to be on duty today?"

Ji Feiyang shook his head: "I don't know. Did he not come to work on time again today?"

Xiao Longbo said unhappily: "This guy is always late and leaves early. I even remember his name. When this period of time passes, let him go."

Several employees around me shivered when they heard this.

Just being late and leaving early will result in expulsion?

Doesn’t this boss take his employees seriously?

In fact, Kong Ergou had already been to the store more than an hour ago.

However, at this moment, he was sitting in a cafe near the door, his eyes staring straight in one direction, as if waiting for someone.

After a while, the person he was waiting for came.

Wearing a crisp dark blue suit, he has a very good temperament.

A valuable watch on his wrist reflects his status as a successful person.

The person Kong Ergou was waiting for was none other than Lu Yiming.

"boss."

Kong Ergou saw Lu Yiming coming in and immediately said hello.

Lu Yiming smiled at him and asked, "Have you brought what I want?"

Kong Ergou hurriedly said: "Take it, take it! I have taken the photos, and this time there is absolutely irrefutable evidence... But if I do this, I will definitely not be able to keep my job, so Mr. Lu, you promised me before The reward..."

While he was talking, Kong Ergou handed over the black bag containing the camera: "Mr. Lu, I'll give this back to you first."

Without saying anything, Lu Yiming took out a large envelope and said, "Here is fifty thousand yuan. After I confirm that there is nothing wrong with the photo, I will give you the remaining fifty thousand yuan."

He opened the black bag, which contained a camera and a stack of photos.

The photos taken in the past three days show various evidences of the use of expired ingredients in Rice Zhenxiang fast food.

This is what Lu Yiming thought of after hearing that Gao Yousi asked Fanzhenxiang Fast Food to use expired ingredients.

Originally, he was thinking of playing a protracted game, but he didn't expect that Gao Yousi actually took the initiative to send the assist.

With such kind intentions, Lu Yiming felt that he would be embarrassed if he refused.

Immediately, he contacted Kong Ergou, and with the temptation of a hundred thousand yuan, he took these photos.

After Lu Yiming looked at the photo, he took out another envelope and said, "Here is the remaining fifty thousand."

Holding two bulging envelopes, Kong Ergou's hands were shaking with excitement.

He was a farmer who went to work in the city. Even how to click the camera shutter was taught by Lu Yiming on a temporary basis. How had he ever seen so much money?
