my boyfriend is a chef

Xi Chuan could understand Sun Youchen's excitement. At the beginning, he was only thinking of engaging in the catering business, and he just wanted to get Xiaoyayuan back. Now that he finally had the opportunity, how could he be unhappy.He calmly said: "Let's find a reliable person to inquire about the situation first. We definitely can't go. Liu Hecheng will definitely raise the price on the ground. We need to find someone to help us negotiate."

Sun Youchen calmed down, it is true, Xiaoyayuan is currently at a low point, Liu Hecheng is eager to sell, the price will definitely not be too high, but if Liu Hecheng finds out that they also want Xiaoyayuan, he will definitely raise the price on the ground, he thought of a question: "Yes Now, how much do you want to buy it?" They just paid the down payment for the house, and they don't have much money on hand.

Xi Chuan said: "If you want to take down all the signboards of Xiaoyayuan, it will cost several million at least."

"The signboard must be there, otherwise, what's the use of it?" Without a signboard, Xiaoyayuan lost the meaning of asking for it, "But we don't have enough money in this way."

"If you don't have enough money, you can always find a way. First, you need to find a reliable person to inquire about this matter. Who is better to ask?" Xi Chuan is worried about this, who is more appropriate to talk about it?You should find a person who is familiar with the business, so as not to suffer losses in the negotiation, but this person must be trustworthy, otherwise they will lose money if they just sit back and raise the price as soon as they turn around?

Sun Youchen also stopped: "That's right, who can I ask for help?"

The two thought about all the people they knew, Xi Chuan raised his head and looked at Sun Youchen: "I think there is one person who is more suitable."

"I also thought of someone." Sun Youchen said, "Who are you talking about?"

Xi Chuan pointed at the ceiling, "Shao Kuan."

Sun Youchen laughed loudly: "I thought it was him too. I don't know if he will help us." Shao Kuan is a businessman with a lot of experience, so he will certainly not suffer from negotiating, it just depends on whether he is willing to help.

Xi Chuan said: "I'll call him and ask." He took out his mobile phone and called Shao Kuan, saying that he wanted to trouble him with something, and asked him to come to the store for a meal when he was free.

Shao Kuan said: "Okay, I'll come over at night and cook me some light dishes. I'm a little angry these days."

"Okay." Xi Chuan agreed wholeheartedly.

Sun Youchen was a little anxious, he was worried that someone had pushed Xiaoyayuan away in the past few days, and asked Wang Xijun to help him run to Xiaoyayuan to see the situation.Wang Xijun went to Xiaoyayuan to have dinner, and said that the store was open as usual, but the business was very light. He also asked the waiter, saying that the taste of the dishes was different from before, and whether the boss had changed. The waiter said no, it was just the chef. Changed.It seemed that Liu Hecheng hadn't transferred Xiaoyayuan out yet, and Sun Youchen breathed a sigh of relief.

In the evening, Xi Chuan made jar meat, chickpea curds, three fungus twists, mussels and bitter gourd soup, etc., all of which were light and fire-reducing dishes. Shao Kuan looked at the carefully prepared dishes on the table: "It's worthless. But what's the big deal?"

Xi Chuan didn't go to the kitchen, but came to accompany Shao Kuan for dinner with Sun Youchen. He poured wine for Shao Kuan: "Eat first, and we'll talk about business later."

"If you don't drink, you will have to drive later." Shao Kuan said.

"It's okay, I'll drive you back in a while." Sun Youchen took over the driver's job.

Shao Kuan smiled: "Let's talk about it first, and eat later, lest I drink too much and agree to some unequal treaty in a daze."

Xi Chuan had no choice but to put down the wine bottle, and said, "Actually, it's like this..." He explained their thoughts on taking over Xiaoyayuan.

After listening to Shao Kuan, he nodded and said, "I understand. You want to sell Xiaoyayuan, but it's not convenient to come forward, so you want me to come forward to talk to Xiaoyayuan's current boss on your behalf, right?"

Both Xi Chuan and Sun Youchen nodded: "Yes."

Sun Youchen said: "Xiaoyayuan is a brand that my grandfather and father worked hard to manage. I can't bear to let it be ruined by outsiders. Now I have a chance, so I want to take it back."

Shao Kuan said sincerely: "I would like to advise you two based on my experience. Although Xiaoyayuan is a well-known old store, it takes several years or ten years to accumulate a reputation, but it takes only a short time for the reputation to collapse. In the past two years, I think most of the old customers have run away. It should not be easy to restore word of mouth now, and it is very likely that the bamboo basket will be empty. In fact, your Chenchuan restaurant is also running very well now. Why? Don't concentrate on running this restaurant well?"

Sun Youchen knew that what Shao Kuan said was right, a restaurant could become popular, and the taste was absolutely basic. Now that Chen Chuan had gained some fame because of Xi Chuan, even if Xiao Ya Yuan was taken down, Xi Chuan would not be able to separate himself to Xiao Ya Yuan If you sit in town, you have to find another person to host it. It's hard to say whether it will be alive. He sighed: "You are right, but I just don't want Xiaoyayuan to go further and further away, and finally close the door and disappear." How much That's how old shops disappear.

Xi Chuan said: "Let's just repay one of our wishes. Even if we don't get up in the end, if we do it, we won't have any regrets."

Shao Kuan nodded: "That's fine. I'll go and find out for you, what price can you accept?"

Xi Chuan glanced at Sun Youchen: "We're not too sure. When my master mortgaged it, the price was about 400 million. I don't know what price he wants now."

"Okay, I'll ask you guys tomorrow." Shao Kuan then raised his chopsticks to eat the food.

Shao Kuan was willing to help, and Sun Youchen and Xi Chuan were relieved.After Shao Kuan left, Sun Youchen asked a little uneasy: "How much do you think it will cost?"

Xi Chuan frowned and thought for a while: "At the beginning, Xiaoyayuan and your house paid off a total of 800 million debts. Your house should be worth more than 300 million yuan, and Xiaoyayuan was almost 400 million yuan. At that time, Xiaoyayuan was famous. It’s not broken, and now it’s not what it used to be, so there shouldn’t be so many.”

Sun Youchen said: "But you forget how many years have passed, everything is skyrocketing, and the transfer fee will definitely not be cheap. How can we get so much money?"

Xi Chuan said: "If it doesn't work, let's borrow money. Now that we have a company, we should be able to lend out a sum of money."

"I knew I shouldn't have bought the house. Now that I haven't got the real estate certificate, I can't get a mortgage." Sun Youchen sighed, and regretted that the money will be used up.

Xi Chuan patted his head: "It's okay, there will always be a way."

Sun Youchen turned to look at Xi Chuan, and suddenly felt deeply guilty: "I'm sorry, bro, if it wasn't for me, there wouldn't be so many troubles." Their lives just got better, and they had to go to the loan shop again, Live a tight life, and even if Xiaoyayuan is settled, it will not be a once-and-for-all matter. There will only be more and more things in the future, and it may still be a bottomless hole that needs to be filled for a long time.

Xi Chuan smiled: "What are you talking about? Xiaoyayuan is also of great significance to me. It is the cradle that nurtured me, and I can't bear to see it ruined by others."

Sun Youchen smiled slightly: "Thank you brother!"

"Let's think about it and see how we can reorganize Xiaoyayuan." Xi Chuan obviously paid more attention to the things after getting Xiaoyayuan.

The next day, Shao Kuan called Xi Chuan and said that he had asked his staff to contact the boss of Xiaoyayuan, and planned to meet with Liu Hecheng to discuss the transfer in two days.

When Sun Youchen heard that it would be two days, he scratched his head anxiously: "Why can't you hurry up?"

Xi Chuan said: "I think your concerns are messed up. What are you anxious about? Liu Hecheng should be the one who should be anxious now, and Shao Kuan should also be thinking the same way. He intends to buy Xiaoyayuan, but he is not in a hurry. Liu Hecheng can't handle Shao Kuan. If you think about it broadly, you may make concessions on the price.”

Sun Youchen thought it was true, but he still cared about it and became confused. He was worried that others would take over Xiaoyayuan first. In fact, even if there was such a person, Liu Hecheng knew that there were others who wanted Xiaoyayuan, so he would definitely not be in a hurry to take Xiaoyayuan away. When the garden is sold out, the price must be compared, and it is best to raise the price.So what we have to do now is to wait and see what Shao Kuan can do.

Three days later, Shao Kuan called and said that he had talked with Liu Hecheng, and the other party asked for a transfer fee of 500 million, including the signboard, decoration and equipment.However, Shao Kuan is a master negotiator, and he got him 200 million yuan with a one-buy offer. Liu Hecheng was not very willing, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

When Sun Youchen heard the news, he said worriedly, "Could the bargain be too hard?" He was worried that there would be others looking at Xiaoyayuan, but he could accept it even if it was more expensive.

"I think it's okay. Shao Kuan has his own considerations. The reputation of Xiaoyayuan has almost been ruined. I think it is more difficult for customers to accept Xiaoyayuan again than to open a new restaurant. The sign of Xiaoyayuan Its value is not as good as it used to be. If you want Xiaoyayuan to come back to life, you have to redecorate it and make a big noise to let old customers know that Xiaoyayuan has changed owners. Otherwise, old customers will definitely detour. His original Decoration is not worth much." Xi Chuan thought more maturely.

Sun Youchen scratched his head, and had to admit that Xi Chuan's thinking was reasonable, and it was very difficult to rebuild Xiaoyayuan. The damned Liu Hecheng didn't know how he had ruined Xiaoyayuan.But if Xiaoyayuan hadn't been ruined, he would have no chance to get it back.

Shao Kuan is a master negotiator, and he detoured with Liu Hecheng for more than half a month. In the end, both sides gave in, and Shao Kuan won Xiaoyayuan with 240 million.This price surprised Sun Youchen and Xi Chuan, but the money was still a headache, because they couldn't get any money from selling the house or mortgage for a while, so they scraped together and finally only managed to get 80.

Seeing them like this, Shao Kuan said, "Well, I will pay the money for you first. You are responsible for the decoration. If Xiaoyayuan does not manage well, then you will return the money to me within two years. If you can If it makes a profit, then the money will be considered as my investment, and we will share the shares equally, and I will take half of the shares in Xiaoyayuan, and the profits will be shared equally, and the management and operation will belong to you, how about it?"

Sun Youchen and Xi Chuan looked at each other, then nodded, Xi Chuan said: "Since Mr. Shao is willing to help us, of course we are willing."

Shao Kuan said: "Well, let's write an IOU first, and then use the equity contract to exchange the IOU."

This is of course not that Shao Kuan is doing charity, no matter whether he is in a loss or not, he will not suffer a loss, and he is not worried that Xi Chuan and Sun Youchen will renege on their debts.He has invested in Qingyu Restaurant and knows the profit of a well-run restaurant. As long as Sun Youchen and Xi Chuan are willing to manage Xiaoyayuan well, it will be profitable within two years. There is nothing wrong with waiting for the dividends to be paid, and you have to keep an eye on the market all the time for stock trading.

Sun Youchen never thought that taking Xiaoyayuan would be so smooth, this time it was really thanks to Shao Kuan's help.Xi Chuan made another delicious meal for Shao Kuan to express his gratitude.

When Sun Youchen got the key, he couldn't contain his excitement. After the hotel closed that night, regardless of the rain, he pulled Xi Chuan and ran to Xiaoyayuan.It was very late, and Xiaoyayuan had been closed for several days. The lights were not turned on, and it was dark outside, only the dim streetlights illuminated the familiar and unfamiliar door face. They have not been back here for several years, because Xiaoyayuan was like a thorn in their hearts, and they could only ignore it as much as possible. Now, the thorn was finally pulled out, and they were able to face it calmly.

Sun Youchen opened the car door, walked across the wet sidewalk, walked to the door of Xiaoyayuan, looked up at the familiar signboard, felt something surging in his nasal cavity, so sore, he finally came back, although Xiaoyayuan was beyond recognition , but the sign is still the same.Xi Chuan followed from behind, put his hand on Sun Youchen's shoulder, and said with a sigh, "We are finally back." He finally fulfilled his promise, one day, he will take Xiaoyayuan back.

Sun Youchen's throat slipped, and he pinched his nose with his fingers: "Thank you, brother, thank you for helping me."

Xi Chuan hugged him: "Thank you, I will definitely do what I promised you. Let's go in and have a look."

But Sun Youchen shook his head: "I don't want to go in today, the inside must be completely changed, so I'd better just take a look outside and come back tomorrow."

After hearing this, Xi Chuan smiled, "That's fine, whatever you want."

Sun Youchen felt relaxed and full of fighting spirit. The glory of Xiaoyayuan will be created by him again.
