Dare to cook

Chapter 343 The Facade
After the New Year, Yao Yu and Yao Chan stayed in Qindao for another two days before returning to Shencheng.

Chen Yuhui did not go with them.

Although it has been decided to live in Shanghai, Qindao still has some things to deal with.

It is estimated that before Yao Yu's restaurant officially opens, Chen Yuhui won't be there too soon.

After returning to Shencheng, Yao Yu went to Lu's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Both Lu Huaiwei and Lu Tao already knew Yao Yu's plan to start anew.

The two also supported Yao Yu's idea.

With Yao Yu's popularity in the culinary world, it would take a matter of minutes to pull together an elite chef team of around 50 people.

There's hope, there's funding, there's professionalism.

Yao Manzi's catering will definitely make a steady profit without losing money, so Lu Tao and Lu Huaiwei didn't ask any more questions, but just mentioned a few incidentally, and then changed the topic.

Two days later, Li Xungui called Yao Yu and said that he had found a suitable store.

The location of the store is at the intersection of Qixia Road and Pudong South Road. It has two floors, facing the street, and is also close to Century Avenue.

After Yao Yu received the call, he and Li Xungui met near the store.

At this time, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year has just passed, and the faint atmosphere of the New Year has not dissipated all over the country. It is reasonable to say that restaurants, hotels and other places should be the best time for business.

However, after Yao Yu came to the neighborhood, he discovered that the store Li Xungui mentioned had posted a notice of the transfer of Wangpu.

"What's going on with this store?" Yao Yu asked after getting into Li Xungui's nanny car.

Li Xungui was already a household name among the young people in Shanghai, so he would not show up in public unless necessary.

Seeing Yao Yu getting into the car, he smiled and said:

"By coincidence, Zheng Xuan, the owner of this store, also knows him. His surname is Liu. Their store has been on this street for seven or eight years. The business has always been very good."

"But Boss Liu's son was taken to Macau for a tour a few years ago."

"You know that place in Macau. If you enter a casino and get caught, you won't lose no matter how much money you have."

"Boss Liu's son was designed by someone to owe more than 7000 million yuan in gambling debts."

"The other party has great influence. The Liu family can't afford that much money at the moment, so they have no choice but to resell the store."

"The property rights of this store belong to their family, and the procedures are complete. The storefront, waiters, cooks, and kitchen equipment are all ready-made. It can be used for decoration and decoration once it is laid out."

"I mentioned to Zheng Xuan that you want to open a restaurant. After he inquired about the Liu family, he asked me to inform you."

"How about it? If you have an idea, I'll ask Zheng Xuan to bring you in touch with Boss Liu?"

Zheng Xuan is a friend of Li Xungui, who owns a bar by the Pujiang River.

Yao Yu also went there several times for consumption. Because of Li Xungui, he and Zheng Xuan also had occasional contact with each other, and they belonged to acquaintances on social networks.

After hearing Li Xungui's words, Yao Yu took out his mobile phone and contacted Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan happened to be fine and got connected soon.

On Yao Yu's side, he first said a few words of auspicious New Year's greetings, then expressed his intention to come, and asked Zheng Xuan if he could invite the store owner to meet him.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xuan said there was no problem.

An hour later, Zheng Xuan brought Boss Liu to the store.

The store door was wide open, and Yao Yu, Zheng Xuan, and Boss Liu entered the store after seeing each other.

For a facade that can be opened near Century Avenue, the interior decoration is naturally not bad.

Yao Yu walked around and then went into the kitchen to take a look.

The equipment in the back kitchen was updated last year, and it looks at least [-]% to [-]% new.

The restaurant run by Boss Liu has been serving traditional Chinese food before. It serves all kinds of cuisines from all over the world. It mainly depends on what the chef in charge is good at.

If Yao Yu sells this store, the equipment, tables and chairs in the store can be used directly.

It's just that the decoration in the store is too old-fashioned in Yao Yu's opinion, not refined and avant-garde enough, if it is sold, it will definitely have to be redecorated.

Of course, this is something.

It is almost impossible for people who are engaged in catering in China not to recognize the current top of the Jade Food list.

What's more, Yao Yu is the most popular among the jade food list in the past dynasties.

Even if Boss Liu didn't pay attention to Yao Yu's deeds before, after the meeting, after Zheng Xuan, the middleman, pointed out Yao Yu's identity, it was impossible for Boss Liu not to pay attention.

If it weren't for the fact that Gouzi was a prodigal, Boss Liu would be reluctant to sell the property.

Now that it is going to be sold, and it is urgent to spend money, it is natural to find a reliable buyer.

And Yao Yu is undoubtedly the most suitable buyer.

He is a famous chef, he is neither short of money nor famous, so if he transfers the restaurant to him, his basic plate that he has worked hard for many years will not be ruined.

Those employees who have followed them for many years can also have better bosses.

Maybe... because of this, I could also have some kind of love affair with Crazy Yu.

After things at home are settled, I can open a restaurant somewhere else. Maybe I can get a little help from Yao Yu?
Thinking of this, Boss Liu has already made up his mind to transfer the restaurant to Yao Yu.

Yao Yu is an expert. After looking around, he also felt that this place was good, so he said:
"Boss Liu, you are selling it sincerely, and I also sincerely want to buy it, so let's not talk nonsense. Just give me a price."

When Boss Liu heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother Yao is really quick to talk. Then I won't bother. Forty-five million, everything in this store, including property rights, equipment, and ready-made labor teams, can be packed away directly. .”

The land price in Shencheng is ridiculously high, and the transfer of the property right is different from the pure use right transfer.

The price is also higher.

As soon as Yao Yu heard this, he knew that the Liu family was indeed in big trouble.

Otherwise, they don't have to sell the property rights of the store at all.

After all, in a bustling metropolis, real property rights can appreciate in value as long as you hold on to them.

Yao Yu knew it in his heart, but he was not so straightforward that he would not pay back the price:

"Is your quotation inflated? Even if I buy a store as big as yours near Jinmao, I can't pay so much?"

"In this way, I know you need money urgently, and I won't take advantage of you. It's only [-] million. As long as the property rights are clear, I will pay you in one lump sum for the things in your store."

"As for your previous artificial team, I will give them a chance to interview. If they are qualified, I am naturally willing to accept and stay."

Boss Liu couldn't help shivering when he saw that Yao Yu was bargaining hard.

At this price, he can only say that he has neither profit nor loss, which is slightly lower than the normal market price.

But what Yao Yu said was also true. He was in urgent need of money, and it was difficult to find a suitable buyer in Shanghai even in Shanghai who could spend 4000 million yuan at a time.

Even if there is, bargaining is definitely more ruthless than Yao Yu, and the payment may not be as straightforward as Yao Yu.

What's more, Yao Yu is still a celebrity, and he and Zheng Xuan are friends.

If this wave of business has been completed, everyone has a little favor.

After thinking about it, Boss Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's pay at this price. If it's convenient for you, let's go through the transfer procedures tomorrow!"
