Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Therefore, the customer base of Xujiapuizi Restaurant has always been relatively stable.

The newly opened shop was luxuriously decorated and offered a wide variety of dishes, but the taste was a little worse than that of Xu's shop, and the portion sizes were not as large as those of Xu's restaurant. Although it attracted some customers when it first opened, it did not last long and the old customers came back to eat there again.

However, the replacement of the restaurant inevitably affected the business of Xu's shop to some extent.

Dongzi didn't show it on his face, but he was still a little anxious inside.

So after Xu Wanning proposed the idea of ​​opening a branch, Dongzi has been using his spare time to run this matter.

For this reason, he hasn't taken a vacation to accompany Gengming for a long time.

Since others can open restaurants, why can't their Xujiapu Restaurant expand?

However, there are some considerations as to where to open it.

At present, Xujiapuzi Restaurant has become famous in Beijing, and even many people from other places know about it.

If we want to open a branch, no matter where it is, as long as we have this reputation in front of us, business will not be too bad.

But there is a huge difference between being not bad and having good business.

In the west of the city that Dongzi mentioned, there are several large factories, all of which are state-owned factories and are engaged in heavy industrial processing.

The workers' work is relatively harder, but correspondingly, their wages are also higher.

The monthly salary of an ordinary formal worker is more than 70 yuan, which is considered very high in Beijing.

Even temporary workers can get more than 30 yuan as long as they work full time. In many factories with average performance, regular workers only get 30 or 40 yuan.

The four factories are large in scale and have many workers, with a total of at least 40,000 to 50,000 people.

If we assume that one person eats out in a restaurant once every two weeks, for several factories with 40,000 to 50,000 people, that means at least several hundred people eat out every day.

Moreover, the positioning of the branch can be slightly different. It can still be a mid-range restaurant, but it can be lower-to-mid-range and cheaper. The portion of the dishes remains the same, but more staple foods such as rice or noodles can be provided. This is perfect for people who do physical work.

After listening to Dongzi's analysis, Xu Wanning couldn't help but sigh that Dongzi was indeed doing this with all his heart, at least he had done market research.

The west side of the city is indeed suitable for opening a branch, but the only problem that bothers Dongzi is that there is no suitable storefront.

The landlord of the shop he liked only sold it and did not rent it out. The rent of 20,000 yuan was prohibitive for Dongzi.

But for Xu Wanning, spending 20,000 yuan to buy a house is a common thing.

But she didn't say to buy the house and open a restaurant directly. Whether the house is worth 20,000 yuan or not, he needs to go on an on-site inspection first.

At this time, there is still some time before lunch, so Dongzi is not very busy. Xu Wanning, accompanied by Dongzi, went to the west of the city.

"Sister-in-law, it's this house. The landlord asked for 20,000 yuan, and I think it's a bit expensive."

If it were located in the east of the city, Dongzi felt that the price was acceptable. After all, the east of the city had already developed and was considered the most prosperous place in Beijing.

When Xu Wanning bought the building of the No. 2 store, she spent more than 10,000 yuan. It has been almost a year now, and the housing price has already risen twice.

But the problem is that the west of the city is still very remote. If there were not four large factories in this area, I guess not many people would be willing to come here.

Of course, this is just Dongzi's opinion.

Xu Wanning felt that the house was worth 20,000 yuan.

Although the city is still divided into the east, west, south and north, from her perspective in the future, these are all areas within the third ring road or even close to the second ring road, which is definitely the city center!

"Can you contact the landlord? I want to see the interior structure of the house. If the layout is reasonable and well preserved, then I can buy the house."

"Yes, I will go find the landlord right away."

The landlord lives nearby and he owns several houses like this, but the one Dongzi likes is just one of them.

Hearing that Xu Wanning was the boss behind the scenes and the one who decided whether to buy the house, the landlord took out the key and opened the door without saying a word.

Unlike Brother Wang’s house, although this house showed no signs of being lived in for a short period of time, the landlord often came to clean it, so even if there was some dust it was normal, at least there were no obvious spider webs in sight.

The house has three and a half floors and a large terrace.

Overall, Xu Wanning was very satisfied.

She knew how much the house's value would appreciate in a few decades, so she didn't bargain with the landlord over a thousand or eight hundred yuan. The main reason was that she felt really bad about it.

So, Xu Wanning bought the house for 20,000 yuan.

As for the money, Xu Wanning asked Cuifen to withdraw it from the account before she left. It was exactly 20,000 yuan, enough to buy the house.

The transaction was completed so quickly that before Xu Wanning could react, the house transfer procedures had been completed.

The people at the Housing Authority had seen Xu Wanning too many times and knew that she was the niece of the top leader, so they did not dare to slack off and handled the procedures very quickly.

Holding the freshly-issued title deed, Xu Wanning and Dongzi returned to the restaurant.

As soon as we got back, it was time for dinner and Dongzi and Cuifen were busy.

Xu Wanning didn't disturb them and went straight to store No. 2.

Xujiapuzi Restaurant is busy at mealtime every day, especially the lunch, which is always packed with guests.

In comparison, store No. 2 is slightly better at noon.

Because the focus of diet is different, few people are willing to eat such greasy food at noon.

In addition, although the food in the second store is delicious, the waiting time is too long. Many people come out to eat during their lunch break, and the rest time is limited. You can't rush back to work before the food is served, right?

Therefore, during the lunch, the business of No. 2 store is not very good, but in the afternoon, the business of No. 2 store will be obviously stronger than that of Xujiapuizi Restaurant.

Xu Wanning originally thought that after the summer, when the weather gradually turned colder, fewer people would be willing to come for a midnight snack.

But surprisingly, the sales of midnight snacks are still high.

Barbecue can be eaten all year round. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to drink a pot of hot rice wine or ginger cola, pair it with a few skewers of barbecued meat, and eat some stir-fried dishes?

Therefore, the night snack business of No. 2 store did not deteriorate due to the weather.

When Xu Wanning arrived at store No. 2, there were only a few tables of guests sitting in the hall, and her aunt was not very busy.

"Aning, how come you have time to come here today? Are you done with your work at the Agricultural Science Academy?"

"Yes, the experiment has come to an end. I have a few days off and have nothing to do today, so I thought I would go around and take a look."
