Shenhao who plays around the world

Chapter 133 Boys should protect themselves

Thanks to the 69% discount and the guidance of some store-exploring bloggers, Chong Hotpot has become a rising star in the Chengdu hotpot market.

The slogan of Long Hotpot also resonates with many people.

Although Jackie Chan is good, it's not a big deal as an adult.

These days, there are too many young people who want to show off and lie down.

This kind of mourning culture also has a large audience.

Coupled with the novel and interesting factory-style decoration, it has quickly become another internet celebrity check-in spot in Chengdu.

Especially among the student party groups, with the spontaneous publicity of many people, it became famous without much effort.

Haidilao also has discounts, but those are during non-peak dining periods.

If you have the opportunity to gather wool now, then whatever you do, you have to take advantage of the fact that your student ID card has not expired and gather more wool from it.

The per capita consumption is RMB 100, and I used a 69% off voucher, but it was only around RMB 70, and the ladies in the store were all pretty, and their service attitude was quite good.

Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Moments, and almost all local citizens have heard about this newly opened hot pot restaurant that has become very popular.

In any industry, free money and discounts are the biggest advantages.

Some colleagues in the industry sneered at it.

Even Haidilao cannot sustain such continuous discounts.

Are employees free of charge?

Free rent cost?

The cost of ingredients alone accounts for almost 40%.

69% off, it can be said to be a profit at a loss.

They want to see how long this store can last.

A week has passed and the discount is still there.

Half a month has passed and there is still no movement.

Unscientific?

There are tens of thousands of hot pot restaurants in Chengdu.

Among them, Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot accounts for 30%.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you walk a few steps on the streets of Chengdu, you will see a hot pot restaurant.

There are also several hotpot restaurant owners around Lin Shen's restaurant.

We usually compete with each other, but we all maintain a tacit understanding. Even if we offer discounts, it is only within the acceptable range of everyone.

But now, it's been half a month since this store opened, and it still hasn't canceled the 69% discount.

Now, they couldn't sit still at all.

Without mentioning the distance, let’s take the residents of several nearby communities as an example.

All the old customers from previous stores went to Chong Hotpot.

The decoration is novel, the service is good, there are discounts, and the taste is great.

Does this still require thinking?

In the past half month, with the efforts of Yang Shan and Shen Han, the operation of the store has taken shape, and it is busy but not chaotic.

On group buying websites such as Meituan and Dianping, it also has a very good reputation, always maintaining a super high rating of 4.8 points.

This is without employees secretly writing positive reviews. It is completely a spontaneous positive review from customers, which makes it even more authentic.

Many student gang members want to blow up this store.

Yang Shan was interested in taking advantage of the situation to expand, but Lin Shen was still hesitant.

Now that I am able to persevere in such a cool way, it is entirely due to the power of the system.

As long as the score is high, the reward money can be dozens of times more than the profit from the hard work of opening the store.

But if it's expansion, even if Lin Shen has money, it won't be a problem if he continues to burn money like this.

However, if she disagrees, it will be a blow to Yang Shan.

After switching from Haidilao to running a small store, Yang Shan endured a lot of pressure and criticism.

After much thought, Lin Shen decided to agree to Yang Shan's expansion plan.

But there is a premise: the location must be chosen carefully before opening a store, and stores should not be opened in non-core business districts.

It is unwise to open a store blindly.

Even if Haidilao opened three stores within one kilometer, it would still be unstoppable.

Yang Shan received Lin Shen's authorization and was immediately full of confidence: "Don't worry, I will do the location selection myself. If the opening store suffers serious losses, I am willing to cut my salary by 50%!"

"That's not necessary. I plan to open a high-end hot pot restaurant in Shanghai. You have to worry about the early stage store coordination."

Yang Shan was startled for a moment. She originally thought that Lin Shen would take root here in Chengdu and steadily open a second store, but she didn't expect that there would be such a big jump.

Lin Shen understood Yang Shan's thoughts and said with a smile: "The stores in the Magic City should be as high-end as possible. You can refer to the hot pot upstairs and the bungalow hot pot."

"What level do you mean by high-end?"

“Are you sure about restaurants with more than 1,000 per capita sales?”

Yang Shan looked hesitant, "Boss, this kind of restaurant has very strict requirements for location selection. They basically choose old bungalows, and the annual rent ranges from several million."

"Don't worry, just take a look at the information about this house."

Lin Shen handed the phone to Yang Shan, which contained pictures and videos of an old bungalow from various angles.

"This is?"

After reading it, Yang Shan was a little confused.

"I transformed this old bungalow into the restaurant we are about to open. What do you think?"

Lin Shen looked at her with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, how much is the rent for this house?"

Yang Shan suppressed her shock, and her first concern was the rent issue.

"For 10 million a year, I may buy the property rights of this old house in the future."

"10 million?"

Yang Shan naturally knows how rare this kind of old bungalow is.

At one time, Haidilao also considered whether to open a brand concept store.

But after just asking about the price, I immediately backed down.

With Haidilao's profitability, renting an old house like this, not counting the cost of renovation and renovation, is already unaffordable for the annual rent of several million.

It’s not that I can’t afford to rent it, it’s that it doesn’t fit the brand tone.

After Yang Shan carefully studied this old bungalow for a while, she suddenly felt that it looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

Quickly, I searched online.

The interior floor plan of an old bungalow that had been on the hot search for many times was exactly the same as the floor plan and interior decoration that Lin Shen showed her.

Yang Shan vaguely knew the answer in her heart, but she still couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lin, is this old bungalow you are talking about Ying Gongguan?"

Lin Shen smiled and nodded, "Well, the restaurant is located in Ying Gongguan, so it should be worthy of the per capita consumption of a thousand yuan, right?"

"It's absolutely worthy. You can even book it at a higher price. If you look at the old bungalows in Shanghai, Ying Gongguan is one of the few."

Yang Shan replied without hesitation, feeling a little excited.

That’s Ying Gongguan!

The four-story old house was originally built by real estate tycoon Ying Ziyun at a cost of 100,000 taels of silver.

Even if it is sold now, I am afraid that the market value will be difficult to be lower than 350 million.

After all, such well-preserved old bungalows are extremely expensive.

That tycoon Ying was able to successfully survive the turbulent times, and he was indeed a hero of his generation.

It can be said that the inheritance of the Ying family to this day is inseparable from Ying Ziyun's determination and wisdom.

In the past half month, Lin Shen has been making money every day.

The hot pot restaurant has extremely high reviews, an endless stream of diners, and an astonishing table turnover rate of 6 times on weekends.

Regardless of the profit of the hot pot restaurant, Lin Shen can make a net profit of 350,000 from the system every day.

The business at the bar is pretty good too.

Song Kun has held several themed events one after another. Now among the entertainment circles in Shanghai, OM is considered a first-tier nightclub. It is fully booked every night, and the number of booths on weekends starts at 10,000.

In terms of turnover, on working days, the daily average is 300,000.

During holidays or activities, the turnover can easily exceed 1 million.

Within half a month, relying on the reputation of having many beauties, good drinks, and a good atmosphere, it brought Lin Shen a net income of 20 million yuan.

In other words, in just half a month, Lin Shen earned 25 million.

One month, that’s 50 million.

This money-making efficiency is simply unrivaled.

This Ying Mansion was also given as a birthday gift by the system to reward Lin Shen.

Yes, Lin Shen celebrated his birthday some time ago.

It was just a small celebration, nothing fancy.

Moreover, celebrating his birthday is also a distress for him.

He spent most of the day just talking on the phone, and he was so tired that his mouth was dry.

However, the system is not that generous.

The birthday gift was just a three-year lease of the Ying Mansion, and the annual rent was 10 million.

Moreover, he must raise the funds to purchase Ying Mansion within three years, otherwise the old bungalow will be repossessed by the Ying family.

Generally speaking, it is relatively rare for an old bungalow to be renovated into a restaurant.

Especially old single-family houses with an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters, like Ying Gongguan, are even rarer.

It's too late for the buyer to take care of it, so he won't be willing to use it as a restaurant.

And if it is converted into a restaurant, it will be more difficult to sell it.

Most wealthy people buy old houses either for their own use or for investment.

Open a restaurant?

The cost of renovation alone is enough to make people's heads tingle.

Take Prada's renovation of Rong Zhai as an example. It took a full 6 years, which shows how difficult it is to renovate and repair old bungalows.

The money in Lin Shen's hand was swallowed up by the system before he could warm it up.

The system provides a renovation plan that can perfectly restore the original decoration of Ying Mansion, and also thoughtfully provides Lin Shen with a full set of high-end restaurant equipment, tables, chairs, and sofas.

On the basis of retaining the original antique style of the bungalow, modern elements are painstakingly added to the tableware and furnishings: retro table lamps, luxury tableware

Hermès retro cabinets, Le bain tissue boxes, German Ruffoni pots, Italian handmade top Mauviel pots, French Le Creuset cool color display plates, Pottery Barn "sentiment" series silver-plated bowls, Bulgari knives and forks, Givenchy

spoon...

As Lin Shen narrated, Yang Shan was already stunned.

There was just one thought in my mind.

The boss’s wife is really very rich!

If the colors weren't so rich, she would have thought she was watching a documentary about Ying Gongguan.

Think about it, the annual rent is as high as tens of millions, and the renovation and renovation, as well as these big-name luxury tableware and pots, will not be less than 50 million.

Suddenly, Yang Shan felt unprecedented pressure.

As for the store in Chengdu, Yang Shan manages it very well.

But this kind of high-end restaurant with per capita consumption of over RMB 1,000 was a first for Yang Shan in her life.

"As for the service staff, you can screen them first. They can open at any time. Your first priority in the near future is to train Shen Han to be a qualified store manager. I may transfer her to the Magic City in the future."

Lin Shen didn't hide it from Yang Shan. In the early stage, he would definitely need elite soldiers and generals like Yang Shan to overcome the difficulties.

When the customer base is stable, it won't be too late to ask Shen Han to come over.

Yang Shan didn't say anything. Compared with defending the world, conquering the world is more in line with her character.

Otherwise, she would not have taken the initiative to apply to develop overseas markets.

"Sister Han still needs one to two months of training. By then she will be qualified to take on the duties of a store manager. I will train her with all my heart. During this period, I will select a group of service personnel with excellent conditions and conduct pre-opening training for them. Training to ensure there are no mistakes in service links.”

After Yang Shan thought carefully, she gave Lin Shen an accurate answer.

Lin Shen added: "When recruiting, the salary can be higher. Our restaurant is based on high-end, and the quality of the service staff must also match."

"In terms of salary, the basic salary is 10,000, the perfect attendance bonus is 2,000, five days off and two days off, staff dormitories are provided, and a rental subsidy of 3,000 per person. If you have a house to live in, it can be converted into the salary, and five insurances and one housing fund are provided."

This treatment is definitely very generous.

At least Yang Shan has never seen an ordinary waiter receive such a high salary.

"OK."

Yang Shan didn't say much. The high salary given by her boss was not enough to support a bunch of freeloaders. It had to be at least worthy of such a salary.

The so-called high-end restaurant is nothing more than high-end decoration, high-end location, and high-end ingredients.

When choosing a location, Ying Gongguan can be said to suppress any dissatisfaction.

Decoration, restoration of the full picture of Ying Mansion in its peak period + tableware, furniture, sofas, leather chairs from various luxury brands...

There are also many sources of ingredients.

Yang Shan suddenly remembered that she hadn't asked about the name of the restaurant yet, so she quickly asked: "Boss, what is the name of our restaurant in Shanghai?"

"Just call me Shang Linyuan. It's easy to remember and has a strong character."

"Hmm... pretty good."

Yang Shan muttered the name several times and thought it was okay.

Anyway, the boss is the biggest, so Lin Shen has the final say on what to call him.

"I will entrust you with the restaurant's business license, staff recruitment, and contacting food suppliers."

Lin Shen was also used to being a hands-off shopkeeper, so he smiled and patted Yang Shan on the shoulder.

"I can't help it. Who asked me to receive your salary? This is what I should do."

Yang Shan also joked with Lin Shen and was full of fighting spirit.

"By the way, do you have a boyfriend?"

Lin Shen suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?"

Yang Shan's little heart was beating a little fast, and she was a little nervous subconsciously.

"Don't get me wrong, I just think you've been too busy lately, and it wouldn't be good if it affected your relationship. Plus, you're going to the Magic City soon. If necessary, I can give you a few days off."

Lin Shen couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Yang Shan's earlobes turning slightly red.

Unexpectedly, Yang Shan, who usually has a straight face, has such a little girl side.

"Thank you for your concern. I haven't considered finding a boyfriend yet."

Yang Shan felt a little disappointed for some reason.

From a low-level waiter, she worked her way up to the regional manager through hard work, and was even entrusted by Yang Juan with the important task of developing overseas markets.

Yang Shan's journey has been too difficult. Every day she is thinking about how to complete the assessment, reduce expenses as much as possible, and increase store profits.

There is no time to even sleep, and falling in love is even more of a luxury.

Inside Haidilao, many young people have taken a liking to each other. The only time they can chat every day is during the short period of time they have to eat.

I only have one day of rest every week, and I’m so exhausted. Who has the energy to go shopping and watch movies?

"Work is important, but personal life is equally important."

Lin Shen couldn't say much.

He is the boss, so he doesn't have to work so hard.

But as Yang Shan is her most capable subordinate, she has many things to keep busy with.

"Okay, it's getting late. You should go back early and drive carefully on the road."

Lin Shen looked at the time. Unexpectedly, the two of them had been chatting for so long. It was almost half past eleven and the store had already closed.

"My car was hit. Please leave first. I'll check it again. I'll just take a taxi back later."

"Male driver?"

"The woman was in a hurry to go to work, and I was too lazy to argue with her, so I chose to go private. I took the time in the afternoon to send it to the repair shop and pick up the car tomorrow."

Lin Shen thought that Yang Shan could encounter scenes like those in idol dramas, such as being hit by a car and causing sparks.

TV dramas and reality are indeed two different things.

Lin Shen joked: "Don't take a taxi. I'll take you back. You're so beautiful. If something happens to you, I won't be the loser."

"Boss~"

Yang Shan's face was slightly red, and she felt a little uncomfortable facing Lin Shen's slightly ambiguous teasing.

But having Lin Shen take you there is always safer than taking a taxi.

There was a faint smell of perfume floating in the car. Yang Shan was very familiar with this smell. It was exactly the same as the scent on Shen Han.

"Where do you live?"

Lin Shen started the car, looked at Yang Shan and asked.

"Flowers on the Jinjiang River."

Yang Shan was sitting in the passenger seat, feeling a little strange.

It’s not like I’ve never taken other people’s rides before, but I didn’t feel as strong as I do now.

Faced with a young, wealthy, outstanding man who is also her own boss, even Yang Shan can hardly remain unmoved.

Just like many girls, they all say they hate scumbag men.

But let them choose 10,000 times, and honest people will always be the spare tire.

Why?

The scumbag is funny and handsome!

If you were richer, you would definitely be a male god!

Even the ancients knew that if a man meets the conditions of Pan Lu and Deng Xiaoxian, there is no woman he cannot win.

Lin Shen is not as good as Pan An, but he is still a handsome guy.

He is not as rich as Deng Tong, but he is still worth over 100 million.

It's no problem to be free. I'm afraid there is no boss who is more salty than him.

I can be small and gentle, but I can't do it at my beck and call. It's not that I can't, but that I don't want to.

It makes no sense that a rich, handsome man should still be polite to women.

That's a dog licking thing.

As for the donkey…

Can humans and animals be the same?

However, the physical constitution has been strengthened three times, so it is naturally different.

Just like Yang Shan, she kept telling herself that Lin Shen had a girlfriend.

But Lin Shen couldn't resist Lin Shen's humor. After telling a few jokes, Yang Shan was overjoyed.

It's been a long night. She was busy exploring markets overseas before, but Yang Shan still doesn't feel tired.

But after returning to China, facing her family's pressure to get married, Yang Shan became even more tired.

If possible, she wanted to stay abroad forever, at least she wouldn't have to listen to the nagging urges at home to get married, and she even had crazy thoughts a few times.

Give birth to a child and be a single mother.

At first, this idea only appeared occasionally.

But after returning to China, it became even more intense.

In foreign countries, I have seen that many people are accustomed to living alone.

Marriage is not everything in life.

Yang Shan didn't want to spend the days arguing over daily necessities.

Yang Shan thought about the suitable candidate for a long time and even consulted some companies that provided excellent DNA.

There are also many friends around me who are almost past the best childbearing age and simply go overseas to select high-quality genes.

The mixed-race baby was born with big round eyes, brown hair and snow-white skin.

But in Yang Shan's heart, she couldn't accept this kind of thing, giving birth to a baby without even knowing the origin of the father.

But Yang Shan looked down on ordinary men.

Before our eyes, the best remaining age group is about to pass.

But now, Yang Shan seems to have found the best candidate.

Lin Shen, who was originally focused on driving, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He thought it was because the air conditioner was turned up.

Fortunately, this feeling only passed by in a flash.

But he didn't know that he had become the best DNA provider in Yang Shan's heart.
