Food starts with noodles

So on the high-speed train to the capital, Xu Zhuo searched for interest-free usury, and finally answered a call from a credit card company and a loan manager.

Information is sold so quickly these days.

After arriving in the capital, Xu Zhuo originally wanted to find a place to live, and then screen the famous real estate companies in the capital to consult them one by one.

As a result, when he came to the exit, he ran into Ji Mingyu who was waiting here.

"Brother Xu Zhuo, let's go, my grandfather heard that you came to the capital, so he specially asked me to pick you up. I heard that you are going to come to the capital to open a shop, right? Then I will have a place to eat later, when the time comes Every day I go to your store to eat..."

Ji Mingyu is like a chatterbox, from the exit to the parking lot, he has been chattering all the way.

However, there are quite a lot of acquaintances of this kind of people.

While Ji Mingyu was driving the car out of the parking space, Xu Zhuo looked at him and asked with a smile, "Mingyu, are you familiar with the real estate company in Beijing? I want to confirm the store."

Ji Mingyu became excited when he heard it: "Familiar, my cousin works in a real estate company, and she asked me to help her find a client on WeChat yesterday. How much are you going to buy for that shop? The location is not good. Similarly, the price is also far away."

Xu Zhuo smiled and said, "Less than [-] million."

Ji Mingyu stepped on the brakes and stepped on it: "I'll go! [-] million? Are you so awesome?"

Chapter 1397 Roast Duckling

[-] million is the highest amount Xu Zhuo can get if he sells everything and puts all the favors on it.

This will not only take out all the savings in the hands of the old lady and Chen Guifang, but even Xu Wenhai's small coffers will not be spared.

In addition, Wei Junming and his wife, as well as Dai Zhenting, Yuan Desheng, Zheng Guangyao and other familiar elders, will also borrow some one by one.

Only in this way can we make up [-] million cash.

This is the money for buying a store, and other operations such as decoration and opening of the store have to wait until Sifang Restaurant is transferred out.

Well, Sifang Restaurant is going to be transferred after all. After all, Sifang Restaurant is too profitable now. If it is transferred, at least it can make more money.

This was Xu Zhuo's long-standing plan.

The price of [-] million made Ji Mingyu a little dumbfounded.

He originally thought that Xu Zhuo would only invest tens of millions to set up a store that was similar to his own store, but he didn't expect to invest [-] million.

And this is still the money to buy the storefront.

Is this how to make money as an Internet celebrity?

Ji Mingyu regretted that he didn't participate in the popular live broadcast a few years ago, and he also regretted that he didn't learn cooking skills from his family before, otherwise his current net worth should not be much different from Xu Zhuo.

Well, after all, compared with Xu Zhuo's, my own appearance is also...

Not too much difference.

The car came to the door of Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant, Xu Zhuo got out of the car with his backpack, and entered the Roast Duck Restaurant with Ji Mingyu.

It’s not time for lunch yet, but there are many young people with backpacks waiting in line at the door. Obviously, these are tourists from other places. After finally coming to the capital, it is natural to try the roast duck here.

The reason why I chose Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant was because when Xu Zhuo came to the capital last year, he helped Ji Wenxuan promote it for a few days.

The publicity made many outsiders know that the locals in Beijing never go to Quanjude to eat roast duck, and the roast duck in Beijing is not always expensive like Quanjude.

At the time of the publicity, it happened to be the time when Geji Restaurant was getting negative reviews from the whole network, so Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant, which was originally known only to people in the capital, suddenly became a place for tourists from other places to check in.

As soon as he came to the store, Ji Wenxuan greeted him, and he said with a smile: "Your grandpa sent me a message this morning, saying that you are coming to visit the store, and let me treat you well. I'm the only one asking. Why is this old man still in such a temper now, and he doesn't know how to change it?"

Xu Zhuo smiled: "That's what he said, you must not be as knowledgeable as him."

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, the grandpa and grandson brought Xu Zhuo to a small private room. Although it was not a meal at the moment, there was a welcome feast that should be had.

After taking his seat, Ji Mingyu took his mobile phone and called his cousin: "Cousin, I've made a big deal for you, you know Xu Zhuo, right? He's coming to the capital to open a store, and he's planning to set up a store with a value of less than [-] million yuan.

Hurry up and bring your managers to our main store and bring the information of the high-quality shops. He is eating here now. After eating, I will accompany him to see the house. Can you catch him as a big customer? , It depends on your ability. "

In fact, there is no arrangement for a while, Xu Zhuo really wants to see the house, but until now there is no real estate information at all, so he can't look for it street by street, right?

So what Ji Mingyu said was purely to urge the other side to be more efficient and not waste each other's time.

A woman's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "I knew my younger brother was the best to me. It's the traffic jam right now. Wait a moment. Don't eat it so fast. Give me a piece of duck, master!" Just say it, slow down..."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Mingyu said: "My cousin's house was demolished a few years ago, and she lost several houses and tens of millions in cash. Such a rich person actually works in a small company and worries about performance every day. I I really don't understand what she's thinking."

I've always heard jokes about billionaires working in small companies, but I didn't expect to meet them today.

Tsk, this is probably the unpretentious happiness of the rich.

Today, because there are few people, there are not many dishes prepared. After all, we are our own people, so there is no need to waste extravagantly.

Regarding Xu Zhuo's coming to the capital to open a shop, Ji Wenxuan was very supportive: "It's time to come here a long time ago. Your grandfather is so good at craftsmanship. It's a bit of a shame to live in the provincial capital of the Central Plains. Only the capital can let him show his talents."

The positioning of the city is different, and the consumption level is completely different.

To open a store in the provincial capital, you have to be constrained by the cost, but in the capital city, there is no such thing. The consumption level here is higher, and the tolerance for food is higher. As long as it is delicious, the price is not a problem.

Although ordinary people may not come to taste it, but there are too many rich people in Beijing, and there are quite a few people who can easily spend tens of thousands of dollars on a meal. The old man can cook those high-end dishes of Shandong cuisine at will, without having to think carefully about the cost.

As a royal dish, Lu cuisine must not care about the cost if it wants to be delicious.

The more timid you are, the less delicious the dishes will be.

Xu Zhuo is also well aware of this.

Everyone chatted while eating, and soon, the roast duck came up.

What I ate today was not the usual roast duck, but a small suckling duck.

The 21-day-old baby suckling duck weighs only two catties. After being slaughtered, it is made according to the method of roast duck. The duck meat is more tender, the duck skin is more crispy, and the aroma is stronger.

This is a new product launched last year. After Xu Zhuo helped publicize it, the number of tourists at Ji’s Roast Duck Restaurant increased rapidly. Many of them came alone. I want to eat some other dishes, so I can't eat the roast duck even more.

In this case, roast duck naturally came into being.

There is not much meat in a roast duck except for the skeleton, so even a girl can easily eat one.

After eating the ducklings, there is no delay in eating other authentic dishes in the store, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

So soon, the roasted suckling duck became the new signature dish in the store, which is very friendly to customers who come to eat alone or for two.

While eating, Ji Mingyu's cousin came.

Not only did she come, but she was also followed by two middle-aged men in neat suits.

Obviously, the [-] million shops are somewhat exciting.

At this moment, he was almost done eating, so Ji Mingyu asked the waiter to remove the dishes from the table and serve some refreshments again.

During this process, Ji Mingyu's cousin has been searching with a thick piece of real estate information, marking the ones that are suitable. She looks like a real estate sale, and she can't tell that she is a person with a net worth of hundreds of millions.

Seeing this, Xu Zhuo sighed lightly.

The capital city is really a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so you have to be more careful when messing around here in the future, and you must not make any behaviors that judge people by their appearance.

Otherwise, what kind of big shot might be offended.

Chapter 1398 Poverty Makes People Calm

In our country, the larger the city, the more efficient it is.

After all, everyone's time is precious, so we won't waste it on gossiping and chatting.

After everyone said hello to each other, it was convenient to ask Xu Zhuo about his requirements for the shop.

They have some existing shops in their hands. If Xu Zhuo is not satisfied, they can also help find them. After all, there are many people who are eager to transfer and spend money, and they usually don’t register with real estate companies, because real estate companies are too efficient. Slow down, the bigger the shop, the harder it is to turn it around, so it's better to ask friends and acquaintances to look for it.

After all, large shops involve the exchange of hundreds of millions of funds, and their customers are very limited.

Xu Zhuo's request was actually quite simple.

Firstly, it is inside the third ring road, secondly, it has an area of ​​more than [-] square meters, and it also faces the street.

The first two requirements are system requirements, and this is a hard target that must be completed, otherwise all the things I have done will be in vain.

Xu Zhuo proposed to be facing the street. Although in the capital, restaurants in small alleys will be full of customers, but after all, it has to do with face. Xu Zhuo naturally wants to find a room facing the street, open and bright.

In addition, you can use a hood, have water and natural gas, etc., and Xu Zhuo also mentioned them one by one.

After talking about this, Ji Mingyu's cousin and her two colleagues began to search.

The information in their hands is very detailed, not only basic information such as floor area, unit price, area location, etc., but also information such as whether they can get a loan.

In addition to written materials, there are corresponding photos and internal videos on their mobile phones, which is more convenient for preliminary screening and saves time for both parties as much as possible.

Because Xu Zhuo wanted to be within the third ring road, this restriction made the choice of shops very few.

And the business area of ​​more than 20 square meters has reduced the number of eligible shops to less than [-].

If this figure is taken out of the basement and other shops that are not suitable for opening restaurants, there are only a dozen or so available locations.

Xu Zhuo first glanced at the photos of the following shops, and was only interested in four of them.

One is a bank, a single building with a total of four floors. This is good, but it is also very troublesome to decorate, because almost all the non-load-bearing walls upstairs and downstairs have to be demolished, and then reorganized.

And because it is a bank, the height of the lobby on the first floor is very average, which will affect the overall decoration effect.

At least that kind of crystal chandelier that is several meters high is out of the question. If you want to hang it, you have to dig a big hole in the lobby first.

In addition to the bank, there is also a medium-sized supermarket.

This is also a single building with three floors, each floor is more than 200 square meters, there are dozens of parking spaces at the door, and it is also at the corner of the intersection, with convenient transportation.

But the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the floor height is average, and each floor is a large flat floor.

In addition, this supermarket is a steel structure house, although it is strong enough, but the sound insulation is poor, and this kind of large flat floor, if the design is not good, it will easily spoil the favor of customers.

In addition to banks and supermarkets, there is also a shop located on Wangfujing Street, the location is very good, at least there is no shortage of customers.

The structure of the house is also very complete, but the price is high, the price is in the early [-] million, which makes Xu Zhuo somewhat difficult.

If this storefront can be 5000 to [-] million cheaper, Xu Zhuo will definitely take it without hesitation.

But the price in the early [-] million made Xu Zhuo calm down a lot in an instant.

True poverty makes people calm.

After reading it, Xu Zhuo didn't agree immediately, but decided to look for it again, and next week he will invite everyone to see the house together.

Don't be in a hurry to look at the house right now, you have to search and find out. After all, this is a sale worth hundreds of millions, not grocery shopping in a supermarket, so don't be in a hurry.

In addition, the reason why Xu Zhuo is not in a hurry is that the shops in the capital must be purchased in full in the name of the company.

Xu Zhuo is now considering whether it is better to set up a new company in the capital, or let the company in the provincial capital directly participate in the purchase of shops.

The advantage of setting up a new company is that you can enjoy many conveniences in the capital, and it is more convenient to handle social security and medical insurance for employees, but it is necessary to come from the provincial capital to build a company framework in the early stage.

And if you buy it through the provincial capital, you don't have to worry about it in the early stage. After you buy it, you can go back and change the company, which can avoid unnecessary troubles in the early stage.

There are many doorways here, and Xu Zhuo doesn't know what to do.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, as long as others understand.

Xu Zhuo plans to find a consulting company tomorrow to inquire about it, and first straighten out his own route, so that it will be more handy to develop.

Ji Mingyu's cousin also knew that such a big business would never be finalized, so she quickly bid farewell to her colleagues and left. Before leaving, she took Xu Zhuo to take a group photo and added Xu Zhuo's WeChat, like a fan girl.

Xu Zhuo was flattered and took a photo with a rich man for the first time.

"Brother Xu Zhuo, what are the arrangements for later? Anyway, my grandfather said, let me accompany you all the way. If you want to do something unspeakable behind Sister Ke Ke's back, I can cover for you."

Xu Zhuo smiled, he didn't come to the capital to have fun.

If you have this energy, you might as well sit down and play games for a while.

He was a bit idle, and it was almost time to get off work, so it was not suitable for him to find a consulting company. After thinking about it, Xu Zhuo said, "There is nothing to do right now, let's go to Sanlitun."

Originally, he wanted to go to the hotel to play games directly, but after all, the business of the store had not yet been settled, and his heart was not at peace, so he wanted to go out and have a look. He didn't expect to encounter any good stores, as long as he could relax.

Sanlitun was quite lively at night, Ji Mingyu started shaking people while driving, and asked a few friends to come over together, so as to save the two big men from wandering around embarrassingly.

As soon as the two turned to the second ring road, Ji Mingyu's cousin called.
