Cai Xiaoli took Taozi directly to Wang Gang's house, and Taozi was still cursing along the way.
??"Xiaoli, why, why did you stop me."
??Cai Xiaoli rolled her eyes and said, "You really want to attack Cheng Jianjun!"??
??Wang Gang in the back room heard the sound and came out and joked: "Taozi, if you want to fight Cheng Jianjun, why don't you call me to join you?"
??When Taozi saw Wang Gang coming out, he immediately said excitedly: "Let's go beat him together!"
??Cai Xiaoli said speechlessly: "How come you guys know how to fight all day long?"
??Wang Gang laughed and said: "Men's friendship is either born out of drinking or fighting."
??Taozi nodded with deep understanding.
??Cai Xiaoli was completely speechless and ignored Wang Gang and Tao Zi.
??Wang Gang said to Tao Zi: "Why did Cheng Jianjun offend you? Do you want to beat him?"
??Taozi glanced at Cai Xiaoli and said, "I just looked and saw Cheng Jianjun harassing Xiaoli."
??Wang Gang was stunned and couldn't help but think of the TV series where Cai Xiaoli was deceived by Cheng Jianjun's sweet words, married him, gave him a son, and ended up getting divorced.
"Xiaoli, Cheng Jianjun has a dark heart and doesn't follow the right path. It's better for you to have less contact with him." Wang Zheng reminded him kindly.
??Cai Xiaoli said quietly: "If I don't contact Cheng Jianjun, then who do you want me to contact?"
??Wang Gang hugged Tao Zi and said, "Of course it's us!"
??Taozi chuckled and said, "We are much better than Cheng Jianjun."
??Cai Xiaoli snorted and said: "I didn't realize that he is not a stinky man."
??After the three of them joked for a while, Wang just got down to business.
??"Taozi, I came to you today just to ask you about your business and what your plans are."
??Taozi said seriously: "I want to open a restaurant. Food is the most important thing for the people. I think the business will be good after opening the restaurant."
??Wang Gang nodded and said: "It's okay to open a restaurant, but you have to wait a few years. If you want to open it now, the conditions won't allow it."
??Although the chaos is over and controls are getting looser, the reform has not yet begun, the rules have not been completely liberalized, and self-employed people cannot open restaurants.
"Taozi, if you believe me, you can reopen the restaurant in two years and quit your job in the food factory for the time being." Wang Gang said seriously.
??"I don't believe in anyone, and I won't disbelieve in you either!" Tao Zi laughed.
??Wang Gang explained: "The country will liberalize self-employment in two years. Then it will be your time to show off your skills. Now there are only three things you have to do."
??“Which three pieces?” Taozi asked.
??“First, accumulate capital. You can’t do business without capital. Renting a store, hiring employees, and purchasing materials all require capital.”
??Taozi nodded and said: "I have saved some money over the years, and I will be able to get some out of it when I sell the house."
??Wang Gang said: "I have thought about money. I still have some money. When the time comes, investing in the hotel will be regarded as a shareholding."
??"That's great." Taozi said excitedly: "We brothers will definitely make a lot of money if we go into business together."
??Cai Xiaoli on the side was a little hesitant.
??Wang Gang is a college student, and it is the best capital university in the country. He has the status of a cadre as soon as he graduates. It is not suitable for business, right?
??"I am going to college soon and have no time to run the restaurant. From now on, the store will still have to be managed by you. I will only contribute the money to hold the shares." Wang Gang said:
??"Xiaoli, do you want to take a share?"
??Cai Xiaoli shook her head and said: "I have no money. Most of my salary is used for my father's medical treatment."
??Wang Gang and Tao Zi also knew that Cai Xiaoli's father was a drug addict and had a lot of medical expenses every month. The Cai family basically couldn't save any money.
??"Xiaoli, why don't you come to my hotel and work together after graduation!" Taozi said with stern eyes.
??Cai Xiaoli shook her head again and said: "My mother asked me to find a way to join the Education Bureau after graduating from college."
??Taozi was a little disappointed. He also knew that Cai Xiaoli was a filial child, so he didn't persuade her again.
??"Then what's the second thing?" Taozi turned to Wang Gang and asked.
??Wang Gang said: "You can open the restaurant later, but you can do the preparations first, such as finding stores and suppliers, you need to prepare in advance."
??Cai Xiaoli agreed: "Yes, doing business is like fighting a war. You cannot fight an unprepared war."
??Wang Gang smiled and said: "We all work in a food factory and have an advantage in finding suppliers, so I asked you not to quit your job yet."??
??Cai Xiaoli praised: "Chunming is still thoughtful. If Taozi is allowed to work alone, the hotel will collapse."
??Taozi touched the back of his head honestly.
??Wang Gang continued: "The third thing is to study."
??Taozi was stunned and said, "I didn't get into college, so what should I study?"
??Wang Gang said: "People can not have diplomas, but they must not be uneducated. Learning is not just in school."
??Taozi was a little confused: "I am most afraid of studying, otherwise I wouldn't have failed the college entrance examination!"
??"Learning is not just in textbooks." Wang Gang explained: "If you want to open a restaurant, you must not know management and cooking, right?"
??"In this aspect of management, don't you have me? If I encounter something I don't understand, I'll ask you." Taozi said:
??“As for cooking skills, I can hire a chef!”
??Cai Xiaoli was the first to raise objections.
??"If something really happened, how could you have time to find Chunming?" Cai Xiaoli blamed:
??"Besides, how can you manage a hotel well if you rely on others for everything?"
??Wang Gang strongly agrees with Cai Xiaoli’s words.
??In the TV series, Tao Zi managed the hotel into a mess, and finally asked Mr. Guan’s granddaughter Guan Xiaoguan to clean up the mess.
??What’s even more interesting is that Taozi couldn’t manage the hotel, so he simply married Guan Xiaoguan and let his wife take charge of the affairs.
??Just because he has no ability, Taozi has always looked down on his wife and mother-in-law.
???Wang Gang regards Taozi as a friend, so he naturally doesn't want him to live such a useless life in the future.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In addition to management, you also need to learn cooking skills." Wang Gang said: "The core technology of a restaurant is the chef. Hiring external chefs is risky and costly!"
??Cai Xiaoli agreed: "Yes, it's so expensive to hire a chef from outside! If you have good cooking skills, the chef will save money!"
??"But where should I go to study?" Tao Zi wondered.
??It’s not easy to learn to cook nowadays. There are no cooking schools. Masters lead apprentices, and skills are passed down from one generation to the next.
??"You have a ready-made master in front of you!" Wang Gang pointed at himself and said with a smile.
??“You know how to cook?” Tao Zi and Cai Xiaoli said in unison.
??After knowing each other for so many years, the two of them have never seen Wang Gang cook.
??"I know a lot of things, and I will open your eyes today."
??While talking, Wang Gang walked into the kitchen and showed off his skills to Tao Zi and Cai Xiaoli.
??When the four dishes and one soup were served, Tao Zi and Cai Xiaoli were a little surprised.
??Wang Gang’s chef became He Yuzhu in the courtyard world. After training in several worlds, he has long since become his own school. He can be said to be a master of his generation.
??After Taozi and Cai Xiaoli tasted Wang Gang's craftsmanship, they became more confident in opening a restaurant.
??"If you have this skill, why should you go to university? You can't make more than a university professor by opening a restaurant." Taozi sighed.
??Cai Xiaoli looked at Wang Gang with even more admiration.
??"You study hard with me, and I will guarantee that you will become a teacher within three years." Wang Gang patted Tao Zi on the shoulder and said, "First call me, Master."
??Taozi quits, he will be a generation short, who would like that?
"We, we brothers, whoever follows the other, don't need to be apprentices!" Tao Zi said with a playful smile.
??Wang Gang smiled and said: "It's okay to become a disciple, but I must drink this cup of apprenticeship tea. This is the rule!"
??When Wang Gang learned cooking from He Yuzhu, as his sister-in-law, he also had to serve tea and learn from his master. Wang Gang felt that Taozi should do the same.
??Taozi is not being pretentious this time, he is just offering a cup of tea, as long as he does not call him master in the future.
??Wang Gang drank tea and said to Taozi: "Starting from tomorrow, you come over at five o'clock in the morning and I will start teaching you basic skills."
"Five o'clock? Isn't it too early?" Taozi asked in surprise.
??Wang Gang shook his head and said: "You usually have to go to work, that is, you have time to study in the morning before work and after get off work in the evening."
??Taozi reluctantly agreed.
??Then Wang Gang took out a can of chili sauce and said, "Your biggest learning task this year is to learn how to make chili sauce."
??"Chili sauce?" Taozi asked puzzledly: "Isn't this thing for sale?"
"This is my unique chili sauce, I call it Laohan chili sauce." Wang Gang said, "My specialty is Sichuan cuisine, and I spend half of my time in this bottle of chili sauce. From now on, it will be the main dish of the restaurant!"
??“You want to open a restaurant and sell hot sauce at the same time?” Cai Xiaoli asked curiously.
"Yes." Wang Gang explained: "It's profitable to open a restaurant, but it's even more profitable to sell chili sauce.
??I plan to earn a reputation for chili sauce through restaurants in the early stage, and when the time is right, I will build a factory to mass-produce chili sauce. In the future, our Laohan chili sauce will be sold all over the country and all over the world!"
??Taozi and Cai Xiaoli were shocked by the pie painted by Wang Gang!
??"Can foreigners get used to our country's hot sauce?" Cai Xiaoli asked worriedly.
??Wang Gang smiled confidently, Cai Xiaoli didn't see foreigners being crazy about Lao Ganma, otherwise she wouldn't have said this.
