Hearing that Zhou Chen wanted to choose something from Mr. Guan’s treasure house, Li Chengtao didn’t think it was a big deal, but Mr. Guan and Guan Xiaoguan’s expressions changed.
Especially Mr. Guan, his eyeballs were widened, and his cloudy eyes became shrewd in an instant.
"Even that brat Han Chunming doesn't dare to care so much about my things. You brat is lucky enough to talk to me about terms."
Zhou Chen shrugged and said: "Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. I am also an ordinary person, so naturally I am not exempt from vulgarity."
Mr. Guan was very dissatisfied: "They are the ones asking you to do something. If you want to raise conditions, go to them. Why are you looking for me, an old man?"
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Because they don't have anything that interests me, but you do."
"Don't even think about it." Mr. Guan refused directly.
Zhou Chen was not annoyed and just said to Guan Xiaoguan: "You heard it too. It's not that I don't want to help you, but that your grandpa doesn't want to. If there is nothing else, then I will go back first."
"Hey, don't."
Li Chengtao saw Zhou Chen standing up and quickly stopped him: "Zhou Chen, don't be impatient. Sit down. Let's talk slowly."
"Tell me, what do you want when you get here? I will help you find it."
Zhou Chen looked at him indifferently and said, "You can't find what I want."
"Uh, okay."
When Li Chengtao saw what Zhou Chen said, he had no choice. Although he had a very good relationship with Han Chunming, he had no friendship with Zhou Chen.
So, he could only look to Guan Xiaoguan for help. After all, Mr. Guan was Guan Xiaoguan's grandfather, and her words would definitely be useful.
Guan Xiaoguan caught Li Chengtao's gaze and thought about the current state of Chabalou.
If she was just working in Chabalu, she would definitely not be so anxious, but now she is the second largest shareholder of Chabalu. This is her business and she would definitely not want to throw it away.
After weighing the pros and cons, she couldn't help but look at Mr. Guan, but before she could speak, Mr. Guan spoke first.
"Don't even think about it. I am your grandfather. Do you still want to help outsiders to trick your grandfather?"
Guan Xiaoguan smiled coquettishly: "Grandpa, can you bear to see my career ruined like this? Just help me."
Mr. Guan remained unmoved and tasted the wine by himself.
When Guan Xiaoguan saw that her grandfather was ignoring her, she got angry and snatched the wine glass from Mr. Guan.
"Grandpa, if you don't help me, I won't give you a drink."
"Hey, that's outrageous."
Mr. Guan shouted loudly: "Are you still trying to make me faint?"
Guan Xiaoguan's expression suddenly froze, and he reluctantly put down his wine glass.
"Grandpa, grandpa, just help me. Didn't you tell me before that Zhou Chen is capable? Otherwise, we wouldn't have thought of him. Now that they are willing to help, why are you unwilling to help your granddaughter?
Already?"
"Grandpa~"
Zhou Chen and Li Chengtao both couldn't help but shudder, this was too embarrassing.
Mr. Guan was used to it. He stared at Zhou Chen with swollen eyes and said, "It's all your kid. Han Chunming only cares about my things. You care about me now. You don't respect the old man at all."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Old man, what you said is wrong. I said this out of respect for you. Otherwise, I would just say that I spent money to buy it."
"Hmm."
Mr. Guan snorted coldly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke again: "First tell me how to solve the problem of the little lazy cat and the others."
"Okay."
Zhou Chen suddenly smiled, knowing that Mr. Guan agreed.
This was not beyond his expectation. He had many treasures, but compared to his only precious granddaughter, in his heart, it was clear which one was more important.
Of course, this is also because Zhou Chen only wants one piece. If Zhou Chen opens his mouth, he will definitely not compromise so quickly.
Guan Xiaoguan added another sentence: "It must be real and effective, and talking on paper does not count."
"Shut up."
Mr. Guan's expression changed and he scolded Guan Xiaoguan severely.
Having known Zhou Chen for so many years, he naturally knew what kind of person Zhou Chen was. If he was not sure, Zhou Chen would not make that request to him.
This is a kind of commitment and confidence, so he firmly believes in Zhou Chen's words.
Now that he agreed, Guan Xiaoguan questioned instead. This was not only doubting Zhou Chen, but also doubting his vision.
Guan Xiaoguan shrank his neck and wanted to say something, but seeing his grandfather's expression, he didn't dare to say a word.
Zhou Chen was not disturbed by this atmosphere and said with a smile: "If it's useless, I won't have the shame to collect it."
"Okay, Zhou Chen, just tell them how to do it. If it doesn't work, it means they are incompetent and can't blame you."
Unlike people nowadays who talk about interests more and more as they get older, Mr. Guan values ​​​​commitment, trust and loyalty between friends more. He preconceptions that Zhou Chen cannot be perfunctory, so he feels that if he does not do well, it will be his granddaughter and Li Chengtao.
I have no ability.
Zhou Chen understands what Mr. Guan is thinking. This feeling of being trusted is still very good, but he has lived for so many years and has very few friends who can trust him like this.
"Old man, you trust me too much. In this case, it seems that I can't let you down."
After saying this, Zhou Chen's expression became serious.
"The reason why Jin Changsheng was able to open his business and the business was booming for so many consecutive days is due to several reasons. One of them is that they found a trustee."
Guan Xiaoguan couldn't help but interjected: "We may have thought about this, but it's been seven or eight days now, and their place is still almost full every day. If it's a commission, how much money will they have to pay? Isn't this too much?
Is it worth the loss?"
Li Chengtao was also nodding at the side, and he thought the same as Guan Xiaoguan.
Zhou Chen looked at the two of them. At this level, it is really not easy to open the tea shop well.
"Why is it impossible? If it were me, even if I had to ask for help for a month in a row, as long as I could bring down the tea shop, I would do it without hesitation."
"Because compared to the small price of asking, the profits of a single company are more crazy, isn't it?"
Guan Xiaoguan and Li Chengtao looked at each other. Neither of them were shrewd businessmen. Even with Zhou Chen's analysis, they still felt in their hearts that the gains outweighed the losses.
Even if Jin Changsheng really defeated their tea shop, can Jin Changsheng guarantee that their business will do well? Aren't they worried that there will be others to compete with them?
"I know what you two are thinking, but for Jin Changsheng, their main opponent now is you. As long as they can defeat you, they will be able to gain a foothold. No matter what happens in the future, they will still have enough
time to deal with it.”
Li Chengtao scratched his head and said, "Okay, it seems to make sense."
Guan Xiaoguan felt the same way, and she asked: "What's more, didn't you just say there are several reasons?"
Zhou Chen said: "Actually, there are several specific reasons. It is not important. What is important is that a restaurant that has just had problems and reopened, even if its food is really good, it still needs time to settle. It cannot just open.
It has been full for several days in a row, and this situation can only mean that there is something wrong with it."
"As long as you know this, for you, how to maintain the past traffic and compete with Jin Changsheng is the most important thing at the moment."
"Yes, yes, I, the most important thing for us now is to save, to save..."
Guan Xiaoguan, who was already anxious, became even more impatient when he heard Li Chengtao speak.
"Restoring the decline."
"Yes, it is to restore the decline."
"Okay, Tao Zi, just stop talking and let Zhou Chen finish."
"Uh, okay."
Zhou Chen ignored the conversation between the two people and continued at his own pace.
"There are actually many ways to restore Chabalou's business. The first one is to learn Jin Changsheng's plan, please. But to be honest, this method is very mediocre. Unless there is no better choice, otherwise, in the end,
It’s better not to use it.”
"Because Chaba Tower is different from Jin Changsheng. Jin Changsheng has just opened and no one knows about it, while Chaba Tower has been around for several years. As long as you are a regular customer, you basically know what is going on, unless you try another one."
A better chef team will conquer customers with better food."
Li Chengtao said: "We have just changed a group of chefs in our tea shop, but they are not much better than the previous group. It will not be easy to change a group of chefs in a short period of time."
