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

Chapter 59 Dragon and Phoenix (Part 1)

"Oh my God, Mr. Cao, have you poured ecstasy on Sophia? Why did General Motors set the unit price of mooncakes so high? We can earn 400,000 from this single business alone."

Seeing Wang Manni's surprised look, Cao Chunyuan's vanity was greatly satisfied.

“It’s only 400,000, just sprinkle it with water!

The packaging design drawings of General Motors have already been made. Find a more reliable factory and follow their requirements. Don’t miss out on the packaging.”

"I understand, Mr. Cao." Wang Manni nodded firmly.

In the past, she felt that making mooncakes for General Motors would not bring much profit, so she didn't take it seriously. Now that the other party offered such a high price, Wang Manni's service awareness has also increased.

"Can we add the logo of our fruit shop?"

"Okay, I have to add it, and I have to make it more beautiful. Oh, wait a minute!"

Cao Chunyuan suddenly remembered that she was going to open a pastry shop soon. Why not take this opportunity to advertise her pastry shop?

Thinking of this, Cao Chunyuan narrowed her eyes, tapped her slender right hand rhythmically on the table, and began to calculate silently.

"Mannie, I'm going to open two chain pastry shops."

ah?

Wang Manni showed a black question mark face, she really didn't understand Cao Chunyuan's brain circuit.

Just now, the two of them were talking about making mooncakes for General Motors. Why did they suddenly switch to opening a pastry shop?

You didn’t come up with the idea of ​​opening a pastry shop just because you made mooncakes for General Motors, right?

"Mr. Cao, what are your specific thoughts?"

"I've been so busy these two days that I didn't have time to tell you. The one who helps us make mooncakes is Lao Lang's wife. Her name is Li Xiufen, and she used to be a pastry chef in Daohua Village.

I think her craftsmanship is pretty good, so I plan to open a pastry shop of my own."

"Oh~"

Wang Manni nodded. She had felt that the mooncakes sent by Lao Lang had a familiar taste. It turned out that they were the masters of Daohua Village. No wonder they were so delicious.

However, if you find someone to make mooncakes once, you need to open a pastry shop. Next time you find someone to make a meal, will you also open a restaurant?

I really don’t understand the world of rich people!

"Mr. Cao, your idea is good. However, have you ever thought that we already have several well-known pastry shops in Yanjing. You suddenly come up with a new brand, and people don't recognize it at all!"

Cao Chunyuan frowned slightly and said doubtfully: "You also ate the mooncakes last time. Didn't you say they were delicious?"

Wang Manni shook her head and explained: "Mr. Cao, that's not what you said. This mooncake itself is something that is eaten once a year. I haven't eaten it in a year. Of course I like to eat it when I see it.

But, I can’t hold mooncakes and eat them every day, right?

And the most important point is that we Yanjing people recognize the brand, just like giving gifts to Daohua Village during the New Year, other brands cannot give it.

It is untenable for you to suddenly step into this industry and just rely on the delicious mooncakes."

"oh?"

Cao Chunyuan wanted to open a pastry shop before, and she had the ingredients to help Li Xiufen. In addition, everyone praised the mooncakes made by Li Xiufen, so Cao Chunyuan never thought about the problem of not being able to sell the pastry shop.

After Wang Manni's analysis, she calmed down and began to analyze the pros and cons.

At present, the pastry shops in Yanjing are roughly divided into three stalls:

1. Long-established chain stores like Daohua Village

2. A personal pastry shop that is not famous but has a good reputation

3. Low-end goods coming out of the assembly line.

If Cao Chunyuan enters this industry, she will definitely compete with top chain stores like Daohua Village.

Daohua Village has brand advantages, a wide audience, and is recognized by everyone.

The advantage of Cao Chunyuan is that she has good raw materials and a good pastry chef, but the disadvantage is her reputation.

But just this popularity was enough for Daohua Village to pin Cao Chunyuan under her, unable to move.

There has to be something new!

What a surprise!

Snowskin mooncakes are one, but not enough!

What to do?

What did pastry shops sell in later generations?

Eh~

Pastry shops in later generations seem to have transformed into cake shops, making both Chinese pastries and Western pastries. Why not just open a cake shop?

"Mannie, what do you think of us opening a cake shop?"

Wang Manni's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "Mr. Cao, this is a good suggestion! When I was in Xiangjiang, I often went to a Western-style restaurant near the company to drink coffee.

It was a comprehensive western restaurant that not only made cakes, but also made desserts such as egg tarts and mousse. Customers could talk about work while drinking coffee.

I think you can open a cake shop that combines Chinese and Western styles, offering our traditional Chinese pastries as well as Western pastries such as birthday cakes, egg tarts, and mousse."

"Is it easy to find a pastry chef?"

Wang Manni waved her hand and said casually: "Mr. Cao, as long as you have money, let alone a pastry chef, I can hire a pilot for you even if you want to."

Cao Chunyuan looked at Wang Manni very speechlessly, thinking that we are just ordinary small bosses, why are you so arrogant now, talking like a rich man who just demolished the house!

Have you been with me for too short a period of time and your temperament hasn’t caught up yet?

"Okay, you send out the recruitment advertisement first, and then I'll think about it."

Wang Manni blinked and thought, if you want to think about it, shouldn't you put this matter aside first? How can you think about it while recruiting people?

"Okay, what about the mooncakes?"

"I have handed over the mooncakes to Li Xiufen. They have a small pastry shop and can start work at any time when the sealing machine is in place."

"Okay, then I'll get the sealing machine done as soon as possible."

"Um."

"Then I'll get busy first!"

"Hmm~"

After Wang Manni left, Cao Chunyuan fell into deep thought.

Her life had been going so smoothly during this period, and she was almost in a trance. She decided to open a pastry shop rashly without considering the market conditions. This was not a good sign.

Fortunately, Cao Chunyuan has many things in her mind that are far ahead of this era, otherwise her pastry shop would probably lose money.

"Oh, I've really gotten a little carried away recently. I can't be so impulsive in the future. No matter what industry you invest in, no matter how small the investment, you must first conduct a market assessment before making a decision."

Cao Chunyuan shook her head and began to think about her cake shop again.

What are the characteristics of later chain cake shops?

Chocolate cake, cream cake, fruit cake, cheese cake, N-layer cake, what else?

Snow Mei Niang (Dafu), pancakes, cupcakes, bagels, fruit mousse, caterpillar bread, finger cakes. Thinking about this, I suddenly miss the bakery downstairs of my house.

A cake shop is different from a pastry shop. It must be well-decorated, and the more elegant it is, the better.

It is best to leave half of the space on the first floor so that customers can sit down and have a cup of coffee, milk tea, and dessert.

Fortunately, Zhang Yunxi promised to give me free money for the two shops. I chose the two largest shops. If the place was too small and I couldn't open a cake shop, it seemed that God was helping me!

"Then it's decided that the two new stores will not open pastry shops, but will be transformed into cake shops that combine Chinese and Western styles!"

Although the nature of the new store has been decided, Cao Chunyuan has fallen into a new round of contemplation and has not yet decided on a name for the cake shop.

Appropriating the name of a later cake shop?

Forget it, just think about it yourself!

Since it is a combination of Chinese and Western styles, the store name must have some Chinese characteristics and be a bit Western.

What are the characteristics of China? Dragon, phoenix, unicorn, panda?

Little Shenlong Cake Shop? Jinfengtang? Panda Cake Shop?

Alas, how about a dragon and a phoenix?
