Chapter 668 The perfect plan, Chabalou rises again
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."
"Then we can only think of other ways, such as cooperating with some travel agencies. As the capital of Yanjing, countless foreigners come to Yanjing every year. If you can reach a cooperative relationship with travel agencies, you will not worry about customers, especially
During the peak tourist season, there will be more guests.”
When Guan Xiaoguan and Li Chengtao heard this, their eyes lit up.
"This is good, this is good." "Yes, this method is good."
Looking at the two people who were inexplicably excited, Zhou Chen did not stop: "Cooperating with a travel agency is just an example. You can also cooperate with factories, enterprises, and even government agencies. Even if you give up a part of the profits, as long as the volume is large, then
It’s definitely profitable.”
"In addition, restaurants can also add a service, which is takeout. Takeout is a delivery service. Guests call the restaurant and ask you to cook the meal, and then you send someone to deliver it in person. The meal delivery service can also charge for errands.
Fees and errand fees are calculated based on the distance traveled.”
"If the takeout service is done well, the profit will definitely not be worse than in-store consumption. And based on the takeout service, you can also expand other services, such as..."
Listening to Zhou Chen's novel ideas one after another, Li Chengtao and Guan Xiaoguan's mouths grew bigger and bigger, and their expressions became more and more shocked.
Even Mr. Guan was attracted by the takeout service Zhou Chen mentioned. If this service really existed, he would not have to cook by himself in the future.
After talking for nearly ten minutes, Zhou Chen's mouth went dry. He drank three glasses of wine in a row and found that the three people in front of him were looking at him blankly.
"What do you think of the plan I mentioned?"
"ah?"
The three of them woke up with a start. Li Chengtao was the first to stand up and shouted to Zhou Chen: "Brother, you are really my brother, no, closer than my brother. Oh my God, Zhou Chen, you are really my brother."
It's so amazing. How did you think of so many things? Even Han Chunming is far behind compared to you."
They had asked Han Chunming for advice, but Han Chunming thought for a long time and couldn't think of a good solution. As a result, Zhou Chen casually mentioned several plans, and each one was better than the last.
Simply, simply...
Well, he couldn't think of any good adjectives to describe his shocked mood at this time.
Guan Xiaoguan also agreed from the side: "Yes, Zhou Chen, you are so amazing. What my grandfather said is indeed true. You are really amazing. Han Chunming is really incomparable to you."
"There's no need to brag. Just ask, does what I say conform to your wishes?" Zhou Chen asked.
"That's for sure. It fits so well. It's simply perfect."
"It's just that you just said so much, I didn't remember it all, and I didn't understand it very well."
Li Chengtao scratched his head in embarrassment. He could understand the first half of what Zhou Chen said, but he was really confused about the takeout service at the end.
Zhou Chen said: "If you don't understand, just think about it slowly."
Then he looked at Mr. Guan: "Old man, your granddaughter thinks it's worth it, what do you think?"
Mr. Guan glared at him: "What else can I say? Come to my place in a few days and I will let you choose one."
"Okay, then I'll thank you."
Zhou Chen suddenly smiled. With these few words and ideas, he can get a good treasure from Mr. Guan, and he will definitely not lose.
A few days later, Zhou Chen came to Mr. Guan's small courtyard again. Mr. Guan took Zhou Chen to his treasure house and asked Zhou Chen to pick out a few boxes of treasures.
Zhou Chen has been in this industry for a long time. With his strong learning ability, he has mastered a lot of archaeological and antique knowledge. Although there was no prompt from the old man, he still picked out an object from the Yuan Dynasty.
After obtaining it, it was identified by the system that it met the requirements of the side mission. This meant that he had collected another mission item and was one step closer to completing the mission.
In the blink of an eye, more than a week has passed.
Just when Zhou Chen was at his home, admiring the treasure he got from Mr. Guan, Han Chunming suddenly visited.
Han Chunming's first words after meeting Zhou Chen were:
"Zhou Chen, I heard from Tao Zi that you gave them the method of dealing with Jin Changsheng?"
Since Zhou Chen told Guan Xiaoguan and the others about the method, he didn't pay attention to the affairs of Chabalou and Jin Changsheng, so he was a little surprised when he heard Han Chunming's words.
"Why, the business of Chabalou has improved?"
Han Chunming said: "It's getting better. You haven't seen it. The business of the tea shop has been very good these days. It's full every day and there are people queuing up. I heard Taozi tell me and I realized that it was you who gave them the trouble."
My idea is to cooperate with travel agencies or government agencies, that’s fine.”
"Is this why you came?"
"Of course, you don't know that since the business of Chabalou has improved, Jin Changsheng's business has deteriorated a lot. Because of this matter, Su Meng almost broke up with me. It must be that I colluded with Tao Zi.
They squeezed Jin Changsheng and ignored me for several days."
Han Chunming complained to Zhou Chen. He had previously thought about helping Chabalou to reverse its decline, but he had never thought about competing with Jin Changsheng.
But before he could think of a way, it was Li Chengtao and Guan Xiaoguan who called for it themselves, and at an extremely fast speed, the business scale was restored to the previous level, which was even much higher.
This made him confused. Li Chengtao had complained to him a few days ago, but he came up with a solution within a few days.
So he found Li Chengtao and interrogated him with coercion and inducement, only to find out that it was Zhou Chen who gave them the idea. Even Mr. Guan knew about it, and he was the only one who was kept in the dark.
He wasn't angry, he just felt strange as to how Li Chengtao and Guan Xiaoguan thought of asking Zhou Chen for help.
What's even more surprising is that the method Zhou Chen mentioned is actually so effective. It only took a week for me to see significant changes.
More importantly, he had been interrogated by Su Meng several times in the past few days, and he was exhausted mentally and physically. But this was the secret of Chabalou, and naturally he couldn't tell Su Mengming.
He felt that he was taking the blame for Zhou Chen, so he came to Zhou Chen to complain.
But Zhou Chen sneered: "None of my business? You haven't even gotten married yet, but you are bullied by Su Meng like this. I can't imagine what will happen after you get married?"
In the TV series, Han Chunming and Su Meng were entangled for more than thirty years before getting married. They seemed happy, but in Zhou Chen's view, it was more like a helpless compromise.
Han Chunming said depressedly: "Zhou Chen, I always feel that you have a big opinion against Su Meng. Are you so dismissive of us?"
"I didn't, don't frame me falsely." Zhou Chen immediately retorted.
But how could Han Chunming believe that one was his best friend and brother-in-law, and the other was his fiancée? Who could he go after?
So in the end he could only pretend that he didn't hear it and it didn't matter.
"But I'm very grateful to you for helping Taozi and the others solve their problem. I don't want to see them squeezed out by Jin Changsheng."
"By the way, one more thing. My car was impounded and I haven't gotten it back yet. The new car hasn't arrived yet. I'll lend you your car to drive tomorrow."
"What are you going to do?"
"I went to the countryside to pick up someone, Xiao Xing's sister Xiao Zao. Isn't it because the old man is not in good health? He is not satisfied with the person Guan Xiaoguan found for him, so I want Xiao Zao to come to the city to serve him."
Zhou Chen was somewhat interested when he heard Han Chunming talking about Meng Xiaozao. Meng Xiaozao in the plot is a very good boy. Although he has no education, he is very good to Mr. Guan, and he also listens to Han Chunming’s words the most.
.
It can be said that among the relatives of the Han family, Meng Xiaozao listened to Han Chunming the most and turned to Han Chunming in everything.
"I know, then you can drive the car later. I'll ride to work tomorrow."
"Then I won't be polite to you."
"Haha, it sounds like you have never been polite before."
Zhou Chen went into the house and gave the key to Han Chunming, and then Han Chunming stayed here shamelessly, had dinner, and then drove away.
