In fact, when Lu Yao arrived at Lao Chen's residence today, he also considered how to tell these people about the royal transaction. Although for these people, Lu Yao certainly did not have to talk to the eight people before.
The leader of a team prepares in advance when speaking, but when speaking to them, you must pay more attention to the method.
Therefore, the fact that this matter has progressed so smoothly is actually a bit beyond Lu Yao's own imagination. For these people in the outer city, Lu Yao knows that their main purpose is to make money, so in terms of royal transaction fees, it is natural
The more important thing to look at is that the reason why it went so smoothly was that it only took more than two hours from Lu Yao teaching them how to cook to successfully signing the contract. Of course, this is because everyone trusts me.
, when Lu Yao said that he would send someone to collect the rent on behalf of the royal family, these people instantly felt at ease. On the other hand, Lao Chen also played a decisive role in this. Under Lao Chen's leadership
, these common people finally agreed to the proposal of giving 10% of the royalties to the royal family, and signed happily.
When it comes to the establishment of this food street, the two most important points for Lu Yao have been solved so far. One is that Lu Yao needs to explain to Emperor Zhao Zhen that he wants to build a food street, because
Zhao Zhen hates officials doing business, so the first thing Lu Yao has to solve is Zhao Zhen's problem. Getting him to agree to open this food street and hot pot restaurant is the first step. After Zhao Zhen agrees, this delicious food
The street has become a royal business, and the second most important thing for Lu Yao has emerged, that is, the issue of negotiating with these common people. First, Lu Yao must ensure that all common people who run the food street are safe and reliable.
After all, you can’t learn skills secretly and then run away. In this regard, it is easier to achieve it with Chen Chen’s father, Lao Chen, as a guarantee. Lao Chen is much smarter than Chen Chen, and he can better understand Lu
Yao meant what he said, so the people he found had no problems. And just now, Lu Yao also solved the most important problem of this food street, which is to let these operators accept the fees given to them by the emperor.
standard.
After everything was done, the next step was for these operators to go back and practice the delicacies given to them by Lu Yao. After signing the contract, these families all looked eager to try it. Lu Yao also said that he
There is nothing else to do. When the house is renovated before the new Cuju competition starts, everyone can come and take a look. Then after the new Cuju competition officially starts, the food will be made and sold in this two-story building.
.
When everyone heard this, they all understood the urgency of the time. After all, there are only a few days until the new Cuju competition officially starts. Although they just watched Lu Yao make those delicacies, the cost of the ingredients used is very low, but
The production process is not as simple as imagined. No one can guarantee that without more practice, you will be able to cook your own delicious food with ease when it is officially opened.
Therefore, after everyone made sure that Lu Yao had no other instructions, they all left Lao Chen's residence and seemed to be going back to practice cooking.
As for Lao Chen, although he didn't see Lu Yao teaching them how to cook, Lao Chen also felt a sense of crisis from everyone's expressions and words. Originally, he thought his rice bag would be
The lowest cost and the most delicious food, but now after Lu Yao taught the other three families, Lao Chen no longer dares to guarantee the rice bags he made. As the main operator of this food court, Lao Chen
He felt that if the rice bag he made was lost to any of the other three families, he would feel that he was a failure and it would be a very embarrassing thing. Therefore, Lao Chen also confirmed with Lu Yao and returned it.
Do you have anything else to explain to yourself? Lu Yao thought for a while and said no. After all, Lao Chen’s old house has been acquired by Lu Yao and will be transformed into a food street base.
As for Chen Chen, Lu Yao doesn't plan to disturb him these days. The most important thing is to give him more time to train the grassroots team.
Therefore, Lu Yao asked Lao Chen to go home and make preparations. Once there was new news, he would find Tangxi and go to his home to tell him.
After Lao Chen left, Lu Yao found all the craftsmen present and reconfirmed that he would complete the expansion of Lao Chen's old house before the official start of the new Cuju competition. Because it involved important business, Lu Yao simply built it.
A document similar to a gambling agreement was drawn up to ensure that they would complete the expansion of their house before the official start of the new Cuju competition. Otherwise, Lu Yao would not give them even eleven cents.
The craftsmen didn't care about this. After the previous cooperation with the bank, they knew that Lu Yao was a man who was not short of money, so the reason why they were asked to sign such an agreement was more because they were worried that they would not be able to complete the work as scheduled.
.Since the money has been provided, everyone felt that they could complete it within the deadline, so they agreed to Lu Yao's agreement.
The craftsmen said that they will go back today to prepare materials and start construction tomorrow. In less than three or four days, the renovation of Lao Chen's old house will be completed.
Lu Yao is very satisfied with the attitude of these craftsmen. Since the two parties want to cooperate, it means that all unpleasant things must be said beforehand. Now it seems that there should be no problem for these craftsmen to complete the expansion within a few days.
At this point, the food court matter was completely settled. Lu Yao told Tang Xi that when he went to Zhao Mansion to pick up ingredients tonight, he asked about the delivery person they had found for him. After that, the hot pot restaurant and the food court were going to
The carriages and drivers used must be carefully selected. Zhao Zhen originally wanted to find someone to help Lu Yao do it, but Lu Yao considered the issue of salary and finally rejected Zhao Zhen's kindness.
Zhang Maocai also proposed that he would find some people familiar with the roads in the outer city to help with transportation. However, Lu Yao felt that since his cooperation with Zhang Maocai was limited to marketing and publicity, Lu Yao should not let Lu Yao pass in other aspects.
A lot of mixing. Moreover, Zhao Hu must have people who are familiar with the roads in the outer city.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Now that we have developed an exclusive service for hot pot, we don’t need a delivery person from this food court.
Tang Xi took the order. He was going to the Zhao Mansion tonight to pick up the ingredients for the dinner. He might even run into Yang Tao. Then he could just ask Zhao Hu.
All the craftsmen have left. At this time, there are still two craftsmen left. These two were selected by Tangxi and were kept. But what really made them stay was Lu Yao's intention.
Lu Yao had previously ordered Tangxi to find two very professional craftsmen, and they would follow him to the center of the outer city today. The purpose was of course to lay out and decorate the hot pot restaurant.
Naturally, Zhang Maocai also gave him one or two craftsmen. Regarding the decoration of the hot pot restaurant, Lu Yao did not refuse Zhang Maocai's kindness. The reason was also very simple. The wages of the craftsmen introduced by Zhang Maocai were also calculated by Lu Yao, not by Lu Yao.
He is considered to be from Zhang Maocai's side.
Lu Yao took the two craftsmen into the carriage, and Tangxi drove towards the center of the outer city.
Because a lot of ingredients had been used before, the carriage was large enough. Lu Yao sat in the carriage and chatted with the two craftsmen. In fact, Lu Yao didn't know much about house construction and decoration.
, but he also knew that the construction skills of the Song Dynasty were still very superb.
However, ancient professional words sounded different from modern ones. Lu Yao listened to these two people talking all the way, but he couldn't figure out the reason. In the end, he could only pretend to look at the two craftsmen with very admiring eyes.
.
After getting off the car, Lu Yao began to observe the surrounding environment.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Lu Yao has come to the center of the outer city. Even before, when Lu Yao was helping the Emperor Tian team find a rival team, that is, when recruiting members of the grassroots team, Lu Yao himself was waiting near the Bird's Nest.
At that time, Tang Xi was asked to go to the center of the outer city area to recruit people. Later, he met Chen Chen, but that was the Lu Yao Chen Chen came to Lu Yao to find. Therefore, Lu Yao never went to the outer city area several times.
Passing through the center of the outer city. Just like no matter what kind of city, there will always be its shady, dirty and ugly side, no matter which city, there will also be an area that it can use to some extent, not to mention, although
It is an outer city area, but after all, this is also an outer city area of Bianliang City, the capital of the Song Dynasty. Compared with those so-called villages, it is still much better.
And when Lu Yao got off the carriage, he realized that the central area of the outer city was much more prosperous than that near the Bird's Nest. Although it was still not as good as the inner city, at least the number of shops on the streets and the traffic there were
The flow of people in the house was pretty good. From the clothes of these people, Lu Yao could clearly feel that the quality of life of these people was much better than that of Lao Chen and his four families. For a moment, Lu Yao felt a little regretful.
Well, if a hot pot restaurant is really opened here, wouldn’t the discounts that I wanted to give to the people around here be too strong?
Before Lu Yao could think carefully, he saw two people walking towards him. Needless to say, these were the two craftsmen Zhang Maocai helped him find.
"Master Lu, we have been waiting here for a long time, and the decoration plan for this house has been made." At this point, the craftsman looked at the two craftsmen brought from the old Chen family behind Lu Yao, and continued
Said, "With all due respect, no one else should be needed for this project. The two of us can be fully responsible."
When the two craftsmen behind Lu Yao heard this, their expressions changed. But after all, these two new craftsmen were fully prepared, and even the decoration plan had been designed. Everyone knows that if it is done by two people, it will be done by four people.
The money allocated to each person is different. In addition, Zhang Maocai must have told these two new craftsmen a long time ago that Mr. Lu Yao is rich and powerful, and as long as he does his job well, the benefits will definitely be indispensable. So these two people
It must have given rise to the idea of doing this job for myself.
However, they still underestimated Lu Yao. They thought that Lu Yao was a businessman and had the same personality as Zhang Mao, that is, profit and money came first. In addition, they thought that the design plan they gave Lu Yao was perfect.
Unparalleled. Therefore, Lu Yao had no reason to reject them. However, what they did not expect was that if he had not cooperated with Zhang Maocai, Lu Yao would not be the same person as Zhang Maocai in essence, and for someone like him
The concept is also very unacceptable. Therefore, in Lu Yao's view, the ugly faces of these two people can be said to be fully exposed.
Therefore, Lu Yao did not express his position immediately. He then took over the drawings designed by the two people and pretended to look at them for a while. In fact, Lu Yao did not make any achievements in this aspect of decoration. After looking at it for a while, he
Turning around, he handed the drawing directly to the two craftsmen brought from Lao Chen's house (hereinafter referred to as old craftsmen for the convenience of reading), and asked them to go directly to the room to have a look, and then judge the quality of the drawing.
feasibility.
The two old craftsmen were dumbfounded when they got the drawings. Originally, they thought that after the two new craftsmen gave Lu Yao the drawings, they should be ready to pack up and leave. However, they did not expect that Lu Yao would let them two
They followed the drawings for comparison and reference. No matter what, since Lu Yao could still use them, they naturally had to work hard, so under the leadership of Tang Xi, the three of them went to a two-story building not far ahead.
Inside, this building is the shop in the center that Zhang Maocai selected for Lu Yao before. It closed down due to the poor management of the previous operator.
Lu Yao was not in a hurry to talk to the two new craftsmen. Instead, he looked at the shops around his shop. It seemed that there were shops selling clothes and various spices, as well as two rouge and gouache shops.
.In fact, if Lu Yao hadn't known that he was in the center of the outer city, just looking at this area, he could really compare it with the inner city.
The two new craftsmen saw that Lu Yao was too lazy to pay attention to them, and the drawings they had given were also handed over by Lu Yao to the other two. They couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but they couldn't take the initiative to speak and anger Lu Yao, so they could only
Waiting there awkwardly.
Lu Yao was actually delaying time on purpose, and was also trying to kill these two people.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Don't think that just because you have the blueprints and are a craftsman from the outer city, you will be able to take on the job due to your personal perseverance. I have already agreed to those two old craftsmen, but then I thought about it, after all, it was Zhang Mao who selected the two people in front of me.
Yes, if I just let the two of them go home, it would be a slap in Zhang Maocai's face. Not to mention, Lu Yao will have dinner with Jiu Zhongxian and Zhang Maocai tonight. Who knows if these two people are Zhang Maocai's?
With relatives and the like, it's not good to have a tense relationship.
So, Lu Yao walked up to the two people and said that the decoration of this hot pot restaurant was definitely different from that of ordinary restaurants. The design of each table including the floor space was particular. Although their design drawings were good, but the most understanding
The essence of this hot pot restaurant is actually the two old craftsmen who came along and talked with Lu Yao for a long time. However, Lu Yao said that since these two people worked so hard and made the design drawings in advance, he could make this
Four people worked on the decoration of this hot pot restaurant together, because after all, the two old craftsmen still didn't know much about the purchase of materials and specific matters in the outer city, so the two newcomers still needed more help.
When these two people heard this, as professionals, they felt that what Lu Yao said was not unreasonable. Their design drawing was for a restaurant like Fan Lou, but they really didn't know much about hot pot. However,
, since Lu Yao handed over all the jobs he had just bought to them, in the final analysis, they would definitely make more money than the two people inside. In this way, their psychology would be much more balanced, so they agreed immediately.
.
Without further ado, Lu Yao took out the contract document he had written before and followed the two of them into the shop in front of him.
The moment the two old craftsmen saw the contract document, it would be no exaggeration to describe it as bursting into tears. Because they had just come over with the new craftsman's design drawings to take a closer look and found that this plan was really feasible.
The key point is that if the two of them were to design it, they might not be able to design such a plan. Originally, when they saw Lu Yao coming in with the manuscript, these two people thought that it might be Lu Yao and the two
The new craftsmen chatted very well, so they were not needed. However, Lu Yao said that what he had promised must be done, so after briefly listening to the suggestions of the four people, he handed over the contract to them.
After signing the contract, the four of them will be responsible for the decoration of the hot pot restaurant. Compared with the food street, the opening time of the hot pot restaurant does not need to be so fast. Lu Yao thought, as long as it is completed before the end of the second round of the official competition
That's it. As the saying goes, slow work leads to careful work. Lu Yao has placed the most profitable time for hot pot restaurants in the semi-finals and finals.
What makes Lu Yao happy is that after the idea of hostility was no longer in the air, the four craftsmen chatted happily. They were all professional talents. They always had endless things to talk about in terms of construction, and they even felt like meeting each other.
The feeling of hating the night. The relationship between these four people makes Lu Yao feel at ease. When he is with excellent people, he can often burst out new ideas and ideas. Seeing that they were chatting so happily, Lu Yao could not bear to interrupt.
They then asked Tangxi to hand over the keys to the house to them, and stipulated that before the second official round of the new Cuju competition started, they would bring Tangxi here to check their work progress.
Then, Lu Yao took Tangxi and left the shop.
Back in the center of the outer city, Lu Yao was not in a hurry to go back home. After all, the time agreed upon with Zhang Maocai and Yang Tao was in the evening. It was just past noon, and Lu Yao happened to feel a little hungry, so he took Tangxi with him.
Take a stroll in the center of the outer city. Tangxi was born in the outer city before, but his conditions at that time were similar to Chen Chen. He could only eat a full meal every once in a while, so in fact, he was not interested in this central area of the outer city.
Particularly understanding.
The two walked and looked around, and finally found a noodle shop and had a bowl of noodles. Then, on the way back, Lu Yao told Tang Xi his views on this central area in the outer city.
It is true that this central area is no different from the inner city, and is just as prosperous. The difference between the inner and outer cities is mainly in the edge area. Apart from anything else, Lao Chen's family moved from the outer city to the edge of the inner city, but why
In other words, it can be regarded as moving from the outer city to the inner city. Even the development near Lao Chen's current residence is better than that in the outer city. What is the reason for this gap?
There are reasons from top to bottom, Lu Yao thinks so. Corrupt officials naturally exist, and the so-called phenomenon of paying protection fees if you want to do business is common in the outer city. However, the development of the outer city cannot be compared.
In inner cities, all causes should be attributed to official corruption, but this is not always the case.
Lu Yao discovered that the people in the outer city were much less enterprising and self-motivated than those in the inner city. If a person only aims to have enough to eat and get by, then his life is destined to be mediocre.
Inaction. It just so happens that most people in the outer city have this attitude. Coupled with the dark officialdom, they have completely given up the idea of making progress and doing things. Over time, the social atmosphere has declined. Except for the central area, the outer city has
All the people in the city are doing simple menial work like hard labor. If you want to change the current situation, it will really take a long time to make improvements. Even if food streets and hot pot restaurants can narrow the gap between inner and outer cities,
Promote exchanges, but if you really want to make the outer city prosperous, the key lies in the people in the outer city. Thinking of this, Lu Yao felt that if you really want to do things for the people, then the official career can be said to be very important.
He must first have the power to govern the outer city before he can set an example for these people and prove to them that the outer city can also develop very well.
Tangxi listened to Lu Yao's talk about this journey, and after getting off the car and returning to Lu Mansion, she couldn't help but ask, "Sir, it seems that you have quite ambitious ambitions and are able to do things for the people, unlike those who just want to make ends meet.
"
Lu Yao turned to look at Tangxi and said with a smile: "You think too highly of me. I just can't stand the way those people look at me. I am actually a lazy person. Even if I enter the official career, I
But I have never thought about becoming the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. I just want to have enough food and clothing, and my family and home will be safe."
