"I'll pay for the rent of the store, plus the decoration, and all the money for raw materials. I'll leave the management to you and Sister Suqin. If you make a profit, I'll make six and you will make four. If you lose, it's mine. How about that?"

This proposal was so sudden and bold that no one reacted for a while.

"This is no small matter, have you thought about it?"

Ma Suqin said.

Zeng Xian could see that Ma Suqin was still very interested in this matter.

Qiao Erqiang doesn't have much social experience and is timid when doing things. But Ma Suqin is different. She has experienced too much, has done many kinds of jobs, and has very rich social experience.

She was able to work in a machinery factory to the extent of being an apprentice, which shows that she has enough ability.

With her joining, Zeng Xian felt more at ease.

"I didn't want to do this just because I was hot-headed. I mentioned to my eldest brother before that I wanted my second brother to open his own store. Maybe it's because of other reasons that he didn't tell you! Anyway, no matter what

, as long as you two are willing to do it, I will pay for it."

"Yiding, what if we fail? That's a lot of money."

Qiao Sanli said worriedly.

"It's okay. There are risks in everything you do. Anyway, I'm still a student now and I don't have to support my family. If I don't do something while I'm young, how long will it take? Besides, the food cooked by my second brother is so delicious. This is

Assure."

"I'm willing to give it a try!"

Ma Suqin said.

Now just wait for Qiao Erqiang to nod.

But since Ma Suqin is here, I don't have to worry about him not agreeing.

"Second Qiang, if you want to give me a stable home, just agree!"

Sure enough, after Ma Suqin said a word, Qiao Erqiang nodded.

Now that a consensus has been reached, all that remains is action.

The Spring Festival is a busy time, and it is definitely difficult to find stores. This matter can only be waited until after the new year. Some stores will close after the Spring Festival due to poor business.

Since Zeng Xian will go back to school soon after the Spring Festival, these matters can only be left to Qiao Sanli and the three of them. Once they find a suitable store, they can come over and have a look, and then negotiate with the landlord about rent and other matters.

After the Spring Festival, Zeng Xian's novel was also published, and it has been three months now. When he sent the manuscript of the second book to the publishing house, the person in charge told him that the first one had sold nearly 10,000 copies, and it had already sold 10,000 copies.

Several bookstores are still adding orders, and they have already started pre-ordering the second volume.

Zeng Xian did the math in his mind. Now the price of his book is 1 yuan, and the royalty income he gets is only 1 cent. Ten thousand copies is 1,000 yuan.

"Is this good or bad?"

Zeng Xian really has no concept in this regard.

"Of course it's a good idea! If this continues, a single copy will sell at least 40,000 to 50,000 copies a year."

Zeng Xian is also very happy that his book can achieve such results. Novels with the theme of time travel are very new in this era, and it is very rare for them to be accepted and loved by the public.

When Qiao Simei got the first book from Zeng Xian, it only took her one day to read the whole book, chasing after Zeng Xian to ask about the plot behind it.

Of course Zeng Xian wouldn't say it. Qiao Simei's big mouth might mean that before the second book comes out, she couldn't help but reveal it to her classmates, which was a violation of the contract.

During this period, Qiao Sanli and the others found a store, and applying for business licenses and other documents went smoothly with Zhu Chen's help. Next came the decoration, installing dining tables and chairs, and other trivial matters, which took nearly three days.

After several months, finally, on a perfect day, "Huimin Hotel" finally opened for business.

Zeng Xian’s suggestion is that in the first three days of opening, all products, except drinks, will be discounted at 10% off. Customers can point out anything bad after eating, and the store will improve it if it can be improved. If customers are willing, they can also pre-deposit their purchases.

Amount. If you deposit more than 20 yuan in advance, you can continue to enjoy a 10% discount in the future.

In 1986, the per capita wage increased significantly compared with the previous year, and the average employee salary reached three digits. However, prices did not increase much, so everyone's consumption level also increased a lot.

The restaurant had just started operating, and its main purpose was to retain customers. Qiao Erqiang didn't know how to operate, so he just cooked his own dishes. After Ma Suqin and Qiao Sanli heard his suggestions, they thought this method could be tried.

Facts have also proved that Zeng Xian's method is feasible. After three months, the net profit margin has been more than 200 yuan, which is a good start for a newly opened restaurant.

And Qiao Erqiang's craftsmanship did not disappoint everyone. This is the magic weapon to retain customers.

The business in the store was getting better and better, and Qiao Erqiang and Ma Suqin gradually became overwhelmed. Zeng Xian suggested that they could recruit people, and they could also take orders over the phone and deliver orders directly to their doorsteps.

This was another bold proposal, and everyone was shocked by Zeng Xian's thinking.

"Is it okay to deliver orders to your door?"

"It's okay, just give it a try!"

Promote it in the early stage. As long as the customers come to the store, they will take a menu with a contact number when they leave.

Also helping with the promotion are Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei. They also bring flyers to school and distribute them to students. As long as they are not too far away, they can deliver the flyers to their doorsteps.

Finally, on the first day of the order delivery business, during dinner time, the first order phone finally rang, followed by the second and third...

Sure enough, you can eat food in a restaurant without going out and the price is the same, who wouldn’t be happy?

In the days that followed, more and more people ordered food over the phone, while fewer people came to the restaurant to eat. Zeng Xian made some adjustments according to the situation, such as charging a 10 cent delivery fee for food delivery.

Many people have become accustomed to this door-to-door food delivery service and do not care about the delivery fee.

After a month, in addition to the wages of the two delivery staff, the store's interest rate is nearly 200.

Gradually, their door-to-door service was imitated by other restaurants, which Zeng Xian expected.

Fortunately, their store has many regular customers, has a friendly reputation, and is the first store with this type of service, so their business here is getting better and better.

The restaurant opened for a year and finally made a profit of more than 10,000 yuan, which simply exceeded everyone's expectations.

At the celebration banquet, Qiao Erqiang and Ma Suqin said many words of thanks to Zeng Xian, but Zeng Xian accepted them all without courtesy.

The two of them, if it weren't for themselves, would still be seeing each other now. If it weren't for themselves, they wouldn't have such a considerable income.

"If you want to take over the hotel completely, I have no problem with it. Just transfer it for a fee."

Zeng Xian was testing them.
