Rebirth 90: I rely on farming to cultivate a master brother

Chapter 51 Business Development (2)

"The mooncakes are indeed not made at my home, but at a small pastry shop in our street. The owner of that pastry shop is my former colleague.

In the beginning, it was my fault that I said something I shouldn't have said, and the two of us were fired from Daohua Village."

As she spoke, Li Xiufen's eyes turned red, and faint moisture began to gather in the corners of her eyes.

Cao Chunyuan nodded and said nothing. She had roughly figured out what happened.

It should be Li Xiufen and another colleague who discovered that their supervisor stole items from the warehouse at the same time, and they chose to report it. As a result, the bad guys were not punished, and the good guys lost their jobs.

Alas, this kind of thing is really chilling!

"Sister-in-law, you are right. It is the management of Daohua Village that has a problem. If they continue to operate like this, they will run into problems sooner or later."

Li Xiufen blinked, not knowing what to say. After all, in her eyes, Daohua Village is an old brand of Yanjing and is considered very powerful.

But Cao Chunyuan doesn't seem to take them seriously. Is Cao Chunyuan a bigger boss than them?

She's so young, she doesn't look like it!

"How big would you say that pastry shop is?"

"About 20 square meters."

"Too small."

It is now the end of August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is at the end of September. In other words, Cao Chunyuan still has one month to prepare.

She glanced at Li Xiufen, who was dressed simply, and a bold idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to open a Chinese pastry shop like Daohua Village, which is well-known to everyone in Yanjing?"

Li Xiufen was stunned, thinking, weren't we just talking about making mooncakes?

Why are you suddenly talking about opening a store?

How could an ordinary person like me open a pastry shop like a big boss?

"Boss Cao, I'm just a woman. I can earn a little money and take care of my family. How can I compete with a big boss like you?"

Cao Chunyuan frowned and said displeasedly: "Sister-in-law, I won't be happy if you say that. What does a woman's family mean? What's wrong with a woman's family? Women can't be the masters of the house?

I am also a woman, and if I don’t open a shop and be the owner, does anyone dare to say anything?”

"this"

Cao Chunyuan's few words instantly made Li Xiufen speechless.

"I think the old werewolf is nice, and you, sister-in-law, are also nice, so I thought of helping you.

If you are willing, I can invest in you to open a pastry shop. Within 5 years, I will take 80% of the profit of this pastry shop and you will take 20%.

Five years later, each of us will share half of the pastry shop’s profit, but the shop and the brand belong to me.”

ah?

Although Li Xiufen has not read many books, she can still understand the most basic Mandarin.

In her opinion, she doesn't care about the 5 years that Cao Chunyuan mentioned or the percentage of the share.

What she cares about is that she can become the boss without spending a penny and can still get a share of the store.

Is there anything better than this?

"Boss Cao, I am willing, and I promise to do it well for you."

"Hehe~"

Seeing Li Xiufen take the bait, Cao Chunyuan showed a proud smile on her face.

She is not a fool. She invests for no reason and lets others make money. She has conditions.

When the pastry shop opened, Cao Chunyuan asked Li Xiufen to lead an apprentice. As soon as the apprentice started training, he could open a new pastry shop.

Cao Chunyuan is equivalent to using the dividends from a shop to support a master who has endless energy to teach apprentices. This business is not a loss.

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to call me Boss Cao, just call me Mr. Cao like Lao Lang.

Opening a store is very simple, we can open it at any time, but the most important thing at the moment is to make these mooncakes. They must be mooncakes of the same quality as before, which will cost at least several thousand yuan."

"so much?"

Cao Chunyuan's words frightened Li Xiufen and took half a step back. She really couldn't understand why Cao Chunyuan needed so many moon cookies when he didn't have a pastry shop yet.

"Yes, do you think your friend's small shop can make mooncakes in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival if it puts all its efforts into making them?"

Li Xiufen frowned and began to calculate silently.

After a while, she said: "Although her shop is small, it can make thousands of mooncakes in a month. However, she does not have a sealing machine. Without a sealing machine, the quality of the mooncakes cannot be guaranteed.

Storage in the open can easily cause spoilage."

Cao Chunyuan waved her hand and said very casually: "That's not a problem, just a sealing machine. Just buy a new one."

"Uh~"

Li Xiufen pursed her lips and said nothing, thinking that her boss was so rich that even a machine worth tens of thousands of dollars didn't even blink.

"Does your friend's shop still have room for new equipment?"

Li Xiufen was about to say that there was no room, but suddenly she thought that her boss was a wealthy owner. Are there any problems that money can't solve these days?

"Mr. Cao, although there is no space in that shop, there is still a vacant room next door. You can rent the room next door first and then return it after you finish making these mooncakes."

Seeing Li Xiufen taking the initiative to make suggestions, Cao Chunyuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, but you don't have to rent it for too long. After all, we want to open the shop in the city center. You won't make much money opening a small place like this."

"Mr. Cao, when should we start?"

Li Xiufen's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait any longer.

"Haha, don't worry."

Cao Chunyuan stood up, walked to Li Xiufen, and whispered: "This batch of mooncakes is very important to me. I will provide you with a batch of fruits specifically for the fillings of the mooncakes.

As for the flour"

Speaking of this, Cao Chunyuan suddenly remembered a particularly popular mooncake in later generations - snowskin mooncake.

Now, there is no such thing as snowskin mooncakes. If Li Xiufen makes a batch of snowskin mooncakes, she will definitely lead the trend.

However, the snowskin mooncakes can be used as the trump card for her new store, supplying them to General Motors, so there is no need to provide such a killer weapon.

"I will also send the flour together with the fruits. You must also choose the best other ingredients, do you understand?"

Li Xiufen blinked and thought, I can understand if I use your fruit. The fruits you sent are all good, but is there any difference in the flour?

In the past, we didn't have to go through so much trouble to make offerings to the emperor. Is it really that important?

"What about money?"

"I will give you 3,000 yuan. You and your friends can decide how to divide it.

After we finish making these mooncakes, we will open a store in the city center. If your friend is willing to come with us, I can give her a high salary and let her be a master chef."

‘Plop, plop’, Li Xiufen felt her heartbeat speeding up and her hands clenched into fists shaking slightly. 3,000 yuan was definitely a huge sum of money for her.

She never expected that Cao Chunyuan would be willing to offer such a high price even before the work was done.

Are all current bosses so rich?

"Cao, Mr. Cao, you are just making a batch of mooncakes. You just need to pay us the processing fee. We won't use that much."

Although more money is a good thing, Li Xiufen still felt that Cao Chunyuan gave her too much, and the money was too hot for her to handle.

Cao Chunyuan shook her head with a smile and said: "This money is not only for the work expenses of the two of you, but also for buying some sugar, oil and other auxiliary materials, and also for rent. You can't afford this money."

Come out?

Don’t think too much, as long as this batch of mooncakes is well made, there will be more benefits in the future.”

"OK."

Since Cao Chunyuan was willing to give more, Li Xiufen no longer refused, and happily discussed some details of making mooncakes with Cao Chunyuan.

After Cao Chunyuan and Li Xiufen discussed it, they returned to the company directly.

She first asked Wang Manni to buy a sealing machine, and then she personally went to the wholesale market and bought some rice, wheat, and glutinous rice seeds.
