1987: Sleepless Tonight

"My brother-in-law is going to get married and wants to hold the wedding at the hotel." Lu Hao said, "After discussing with the whole family, we decided on the venue at Yujin Restaurant."

"No problem, leave it here, I will definitely handle it with my heart." Huang Qingqiu responded directly.

She wanted to return Lu Hao's favor.

Lu Hao's brother-in-law's wedding was held at Yujin Restaurant, which gave her a chance.

"When is the time?" she asked.

"No hurry, there is still a period of time, the time is set on June 6." Lu Hao said.

"It's true that there is still a period of time. I will set aside that day to hold a wedding for your brother-in-law." Huang Qingqiu said, "Nowadays it is more popular to hold weddings in restaurants, and many customers put their wedding banquets in restaurants. There have been several wedding banquets in Yujin Restaurant recently."

There are several forms of weddings in Jiangcheng. One is the Western-style church wedding. After the opening of Hankou, the west wind spread to the east. Western folk customs and some cultures infiltrated into the folk customs of Jiangcheng. accepted by people.

There is another type, collective wedding, which was first called group marriage in 1935 in Shanghai Stock Exchange, followed by Hankou. At the beginning, the status of witnesses in collective weddings was not low, and the leaders of Jiangcheng City witnessed the marriage .

In recent years, group weddings have been advocated again. The civil affairs department of Jiangcheng City and some enterprises and institutions hold group weddings for new couples, and sometimes TV stations will also participate.

Finally, weddings are held in hotels and restaurants, which is the most popular form besides holding wine at home.

All kinds of wedding banquets have their own set of procedures.

Huang Qingqiu's Yujin Restaurant has held many weddings since its inception, so he is very familiar with it.

"Then I will trouble you. I will tell you the exact number of guests after the list of guests comes out," Lu Hao said.

"No problem, leave it to me." Huang Qingqiu agreed, "If you have any good things in the future, don't forget me and Yujin Restaurant."

"Don't worry, I will never forget it, and I will bring you along if there are benefits." Lu Hao said with a smile, "But you have to fight for your own words, and the pace of expansion should be faster. Most of the hotels and restaurants are still state-owned. In nature, their pace is relatively slow and the burden is relatively heavy, you should have achieved rapid expansion, opening branches all over the city, and even expanding to other provinces."

"This is also helpful to me. After all, the expansion of your branch stores is equivalent to the expansion of my channels, and my products can follow the expansion of your restaurant in the future."

"Building a hotel requires money. Where can I find so much money and so much land?" Huang Qingqiu said.

She also wants to expand, but it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.

In terms of network building and handling, it is far inferior to Lu Hao.

"You have to be more flexible. Building a hotel requires money. There is nothing wrong with land, but you don't have to buy the property right. You can lease it. Isn't there a lot of state-owned hotels that can't continue to operate? Including various systems, there are suitable ones. Places, you can rent these places and turn them into hotels, if you really have to wait until you earn enough money to do these things, the opportunity has already slipped away." Lu Hao said.

"There are many ways to expand, but there is only one purpose of expansion, which is to gain the upper hand and suppress competitors. Even if we cannot form a monopoly position in the industry, we must let ourselves seize more resources."

"Nowadays all walks of life are crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the catering industry is the same. In the early 80s, the Jiangcheng catering company and the city service company were responsible for managing the city's catering performance and the photography, beauty and hairdressing, and washing and dyeing industries. Wait, the implementation of planned economic management for the catering service industry, the two companies were abolished in the first two years, and the municipal catering service management office was established, which made it more standardized."

"However, it is only slightly standardized. The internal affiliation, personnel relationship, business philosophy, etc. are still a mess, but a mess is not a good thing for these state-owned units, but for private catering units. It's an opportunity, it's a loophole, even though you are a woman, you have to learn to take advantage of every opportunity and seize every opportunity."

The reform first started in the countryside, and this year, the focus of the reform has shifted to the cities.

"Grab it when you see the opportunity?" Huang Qingqiu frowned.

I didn't understand the specific meaning of Lu Hao's words.

"Well, grab the opportunity when you see it, and the opportunity is an opportunity." Lu Hao nodded, "You should know better than me that you do catering yourself. The catering service industry has flourished in recent years and there are many outlets. It can be roughly divided into three categories. There are catering service enterprises run by the society, one is social catering service enterprises, and the other is individual private service enterprises.”

"The first two categories are the most, and the latter category has been quite a few in recent years, but most of them are roadside stalls. Even if there are stores, the scale of the stores is very small. Your Yujin Restaurant can be regarded as very top-notch. This is an opportunity. It is a competitive advantage, which must continue to expand to maintain the gap with other catering outlets.”

Catering service enterprises run by the society refer to units run by the military, schools, government agencies, and factories and mines.

"You know so much about the catering industry?" Huang Qingqiu was surprised when he heard Lu Hao's words.

She didn't expect Lu Hao to know such details.

"To do business, you must have a little understanding of all aspects." Lu Hao said, "The catering industry has a low entry threshold, so you must have some understanding."

The actual situation is that he started in the catering industry slowly in his previous life, so he will be more clear about some information about catering.

It is said that fish in troubled waters.

The same is true for business, the more chaotic the market and management, the more muddy the water, the better to benefit from it.

"Take some time, let's talk in detail." Huang Qingqiu said.

She wanted to have a deeper communication with Lu Hao.

She also attaches great importance to Lu Hao's opinion.

Lu Hao's vision is always beyond ordinary people, and his advice always hits the mark. More importantly, through the home appliances going to the countryside and warm home activities, she knows that Lu Hao is indeed helping her.

She trusted Lu Hao a lot.

"No problem, let's talk in detail when we have time." Lu Hao nodded.

To help Huang Qingqiu is to help oneself.

If Yujin Restaurant can expand quickly, in Jiangcheng, or even in other provinces, it will also benefit me a lot. At the same time, I can also get involved in this industry, invest some funds, occupy some shares, and share some money , which is also quite good.

After hanging up the phone, he walked to the window, opened the curtains, and opened the window for ventilation.

After a while, Huang Minghua knocked on the door and walked in.

"Brother Hao." He said respectfully to Lu Hao.

Lu Hao nodded at him, "Sit."
