I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 587 Zhang Xianguang's efforts and the method of controlling the ghost messenger
"As long as Boss Lin agrees, I am willing to pay 70% of my daily income as the franchise fee. The remaining 30% will be used to pay the employees' salaries and to maintain the operation of the store."

When these words were spoken, everyone looked at them sideways.

As for the profit of a store, none of the people present were serious businessmen, including Lin Yuan, who was known as the "store manager", so they had no idea.

But what is certain is that if a normal store hands over 70% of its profits, the remaining 30% can only barely maintain the operation of the store, or even fail to maintain normal operation.

But Zhang Xianguang still put forward such a condition so straightforwardly. What does this mean?
"Lao Zhang, you have other intentions than wine!" Lin Yuan laughed and teased, "It seems that you have other ways to make money. You want to use my branch as a stepping stone? A new bar? That's right, the effect of this wine is too outstanding. It is indeed very suitable for interpersonal communication. However, the production of new wine is constantly increasing, and it will soon be flooded. There is no need to pay such a price."

Zhang Xianguang said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Boss Lin. I spent so much money to join the restaurant, and I do have my own little thoughts. So... 80%!"

Another price increase?
does it worth?
It is said that the White Mist Seed in the Peace Hotel is very magical and can protect people's consciousness from extinction. As long as the level of terror does not exceed that of the White Mist Seed, it is impossible to break the protection of the White Mist Seed.

It can be said that having the White Mist Seed is equivalent to having a life-saving talisman!

Under the current circumstances, no one in the world has been found to be more terrifying than him, which means that there is currently no supernatural being in the world that can break his protection.

Having the white mist seed is equivalent to reaching a state of immortal consciousness.

It is for this reason that countless people are eager to obtain the White Mist Seed, even if the price of obtaining the White Mist Seed is to be corroded by the white mist spirit, and develop a favorable impression of the Peace Hotel instead of any hostility.

But look at the people in the Peace Hotel now. They all have this condition, but what’s the difference between them and normal people?

Especially Tong Qian and Guo Fan.

They are undercover agents placed by the headquarters in the Peace Hotel. Aren't they normally leaking news about the Peace Hotel to the headquarters?
Therefore, most people did not believe the information revealed by the headquarters. They just thought that the headquarters was releasing a smokescreen in order to monopolize the White Mist Seeds and to keep others away so as not to compete with the headquarters for opportunities and quotas.

Even a small number of people who believe in Him do not think that He needs to use the White Mist Seed to control people's hearts, otherwise He would have spread the White Mist Seed everywhere. Why would He limit the number of people?
As a result, the White Mist Seed is in a situation where it has a price but no market.

Countless people wanted to squeeze into the Peace Hotel, even if it was just to be a waiter - didn’t you see that Fang Shiming, the president in the circle of friends, went to the kitchen of the Peace Hotel to work as an ordinary waiter cutting vegetables and killing fish?

It’s a pity that the Peace Hotel is basically not hiring now.

Even though they had finally opened two branches, they didn't recruit many people from outside and only used internal channels, so it was basically impossible to obtain the White Mist Seeds through roundabout means.

Now that Zhang Xianguang is doing this, could it be that he wants to obtain the White Mist Seed by joining?

But if it is a franchise store, it cannot be considered an authentic store of the Peace Hotel. Is it possible for the "store manager" to send the White Mist Seed over?

If it fails, wouldn't Zhang Xianguang's promise be completely in vain for the Peace Hotel?

In the eyes of Yang Jian and others, Zhang Xianguang seemed to have no other reason to do so except this purpose, but few people were optimistic about it.

Only Cao Yanhua vaguely guessed Zhang Xianguang's purpose, and therefore objected very fiercely, "Boss Lin, I hope you still think about it. If a store even hands over 80% of its profits, it is completely a loss-making business, but who would do business at a loss? Mr. Zhang Xianguang, he must have other ideas. Maybe he wants to push your Peace Hotel to the front to prevent disaster!"

Zhang Xianguang looked over with a cold look in his eyes. "Minister Cao, what you said is biased. If you don't provide enough evidence, maybe I should report it to the headquarters. Minister Cao, you are using personal gain to suppress a normal businessman like me."

A normal businessman?

Are you, Zhang Xianguang, a normal businessman?

Cao Yanhua snorted coldly. How could he not guess what Zhang Xianguang wanted to do? The plan for the new Peach Blossom Spring was no secret and was still recorded in the supernatural files of the headquarters.

However, just as he was about to continue, Lin Yuan interrupted the argument between the two and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Minister Cao. Let's put it this way, Lao Zhang, I can agree to your joining, but in addition to the contract, we have to sign a disclaimer. After you join, the franchise fee is 80% of the normal income as you said. For this, our store can provide food and drinks, and you can recruit employees yourself. In the future, if there are any problems with your branch, you will be solely responsible. How about it?"

"no problem."

Zhang Xianguang agreed immediately. Looking at his expression, it seemed that no matter what Lin Yuan asked, he would not hesitate at all. "But Boss Lin, I have another request."

"You say." Lin Yuan seemed very magnanimous.

But think about it, if there is such a sucker who didn't pay the franchise fee but is willing to hand over 80% of the profits, everyone will be generous.

"I hope to open franchise stores in more cities in the future. I will follow the same pattern as the franchise stores in Dajing City and hand over 80% of the profits. I will take all the responsibilities myself!"

After hearing this, Yang Jian, Wang Chaling, Awu, Cao Yang, Fang Shiming and others also understood Zhang Xianguang's thoughts.

Does this guy want to promote the New Peach Blossom Spring Project?

Just like the branch in Dahai City, as long as branches can be opened in major cities across the country, he doesn’t even need to make any effort. As long as he follows the model of Dahai City, he can implement the New Peach Blossom Spring Plan in disguise.

It really is, it’s amazing!
But is it worth it?
After the initial Peach Blossom Spring plan succeeds, Zhang Xianguang will become a saint in the new world, famous without a name, meritorious without merit, divine without a god, and wise without being holy!
But if the new Peach Blossom Spring plan succeeds, it is very likely that Zhang Xianguang will get nothing.

Because, he is not even an employee of the Peace Hotel!
Could it be that this guy is really so selfless that he is willing to give everything without asking for anything in return just for his ideal of allowing all ordinary people to live a normal life?
At this moment, even Cao Yanhua, who was the first to see his thoughts and opposed them most vehemently, looked at him with extremely complicated eyes.

"Okay, that's no problem. But there's one thing we need to consider, and that depends on the store's food supply capacity. We can't have people go there without anything to eat, right?"

Everyone else could understand Zhang Xianguang's thoughts, so how could Lin Yuan not understand?

Even at the moment when Zhang Xianguang proposed to join, he already understood Zhang Xianguang's idea, and he was not opposed to it.

Although Zhang Xianguang only proposed a franchise store, if he wants to implement the New Peach Blossom Spring plan, he must allow Lin Yuan's supernatural powers to fully settle in.

In other words, no matter how hard Zhang Xianguang tried, in the end it was just making things difficult for Lin Yuan.

Zhang Xianguang must be aware of this, and he also used this point to tell Lin Yuan: I am here to work for you for free, do you want it?
As for handing over 70% or 80% of the profits, those are just smoke screens.

It cannot be said that he did it for outsiders to see, because Zhang Xianguang did not take other people into consideration at all. All his actions were for his own plans, or ideals.

The reason for this is that it is just taking into account the acceptance method of the "store manager" that Lin Yuan has cut out, which is only recognized by ordinary people.

If he knew that Lin Yuan was basically fully awake and playing house games with them now, he probably wouldn't have thought so much about it, but would have directly stated his thoughts to "him", just like he had to go into the virtual game to find him decades ago.

It's just because there is no way to meet Him in reality, so we have to settle for the next best thing.

Although it is understandable, Lin Yuan still has to impose a restriction on Zhang Xianguang. The New Peach Blossom Spring Plan is just Zhang Xianguang's ideal. To Lin Yuan, it is just something he hears.

He now only wanted his two fundamental spiritual powers to be completely balanced, unlock his own state, and no longer be restricted by his actions.

Even though he now spends more time outside, especially when he is in the store, and does not need to separate a part of his consciousness, the time he spends outside the Peace Hotel is still greatly restricted.

The recovery speed and upper limit of the White Mist Ghost Domain have far exceeded his imagination.

Many times it seemed that it was reaching its limit, but every time Lin Yuan obtained a new puzzle piece and increased the horror level of the Peace Hotel, the White Fog Ghost Domain would be stimulated and further revive.

That is to say, after getting the puzzle, the improvement of Peace Hotel must be higher than that of White Fog Ghost Domain, otherwise he will not even have a chance to wake up.

Lin Yuan also had some guesses about this situation.

The puzzle piece he got was indeed given to the Peace Hotel, but now the Peace Hotel and the White Mist Ghost Realm were originally his spiritual things, intertwined together, confronting and cooperating with each other.

You have me I have you.

In this way, when the horror level of one supernatural being is increased, the other supernatural being will also receive some feedback.

This is both good news and bad news.

The good news is that a supernatural puzzle can improve Lin Yuan's strength in a balanced way, allowing his already difficult-to-see upper limit to rise again and again.

The bad news is that if one wants to completely achieve a balance between the Peace Hotel and the White Fog Ghost Domain, the required supernatural power will increase exponentially due to this situation.

However, this also proves how terrifying the two supernatural powers that Lin Yuan obtained after traveling through time are.

Taking the normal approach to balance the two puzzles was too slow, and the most appropriate method that Lin Yuan finally found was:
Open a shop!
By running a shop and using new wine to dismember the supernatural power of the White Fog Ghostland into pieces, he lets people all over the world bear the supernatural power for him, and thereby temporarily achieves his own balance.

Although he dismembered these spirits, each time he dismembered them into very small pieces, only a small part of their power remained, and it was difficult for others to discover them. Even if a ghost rider discovered them, without Lin Yuan's permission, he would not be able to use them to improve his own strength.

When necessary, Lin Yuan can also forcibly take back these dismembered spiritual fragments without having to worry about losing control.

Previously, there were only two branches. Although there was a supernatural forum in Dahai City and the Wang family in Dadong City were promoting the new wine with all their efforts, the efficiency was limited.

Now Zhang Xianguang came to him on his own initiative.

According to Zhang Xianguang, he clearly wants to open a franchise store in all cities across the country, and even in the world, in order to drag the whole world into the world of the new Peach Blossom Spring.

In this case, it is very likely that it has exceeded the limit of Lin Yuan's needs.

You can't just dismember your own spiritual power and decompose yourself just because the need arises, right?

Lin Yuan is not that stupid, so he has to impose restrictions on Zhang Xianguang, and these restrictions are also reasonable:
For the sake of the reputation of the Peace Hotel, the Peace Hotel must provide the ingredients, and the provision of ingredients also depends on the size of the Peace Hotel.

"Of course, but I suggest that Boss Lin can hire some more chefs. With just Xiaotong and Xiaofang, I think we have reached our limit, right?" Zhang Xianguang offered his suggestion.

In fact, there were not only Tong Qian and Fang Shiming in the kitchen, but also Xiaoru who was recommended by Zhang Bohua.

Of the previous four chefs, except Tong Qian, the other three are developing in other directions. If the Peace Hotel did not have several branches, they would still be able to handle the workload.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "That's right. I will consider your opinion recently. Let's make it like this. I hope that you will develop smoothly and have a prosperous business, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Xianguang nodded and said nothing more. He also did not mention the matters of Xiong Wenwen and Zhang Shumei, as if he had forgotten about them.

Seeing this, Cao Yanhua couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Since Zhang Xianguang has already reached an agreement with Lin Yuan, he has no other choice. Otherwise, if he angers the "store manager", the consequences will be something he cannot bear easily.

But Fang Shiming didn't want to give up, "Brother Yuan, franchise stores and branches are different, right?"

A smile flashed across Lin Yuan's eyes, and he said, "Of course they are different. A franchise store is a franchise store, which is considered a cooperative business, and a branch store is a branch store, which is opened by our own people."

"Then can I open a branch, also in Dajing City?"

Fang Shiming continued to speak. He glanced at Zhang Xianguang and said, "Dajing City is very large, with a huge population and sufficient market share. A franchise store and a branch store can appear at the same time. As long as they are in different areas, the business will not be affected."

Lin Yuan did not respond immediately, but said to Zhang Xianguang: "Old Zhang, what do you think? After all, you are already a franchisee. If you want to open a branch, you can give some advice."

Fang Shiming immediately gave him a fierce look.

However, the look soon changed, becoming puzzled and puzzled, as if a wolf had turned into a Husky in an instant, because Zhang Xianguang did not object like his competitors, but nodded and said, "Xiao Fang is right, Dajing City is too big, let alone one franchise store and one branch store, even if there are two more, there will be no problem. Minister Cao, what do you think, are you interested in joining and opening a store?"

Fang Shiming was stunned, but he quickly understood.

Zhang Xianguang’s goal is the New Peach Blossom Spring Project. In this case, opening a branch of his own will not only not have a negative impact on Zhang Xianguang, but will instead be helpful in disguise.

The feeling of punching cotton with all his strength made Fang Shiming want to vomit blood.

But he has no way to regret it yet, because he and Zhang Xianguang have different goals, but they do not seem to conflict with each other. Perhaps there is a chance for cooperation between them?
Cao Yanhua also knew Zhang Xianguang's purpose, and snorted coldly: "That's not necessary. I am a public official, and it is not appropriate for me to open a store and do business."

"That's a pity." Zhang Xianguang nodded, then his eyes swept over Wang Chaling and A Wu one by one, and finally landed on Yang Jian and Cao Yang, "What do you think? If you two want to join, I can postpone the time of opening franchise stores in other cities and let you two come first, how about it?"

Cao Yang sneered and said, "Don't bother with that. Of course, if you want to open a store in Otsu City, forget it. I won't agree to it."

There is absolutely no way he would support the New Peach Blossom Spring plan.

Yang Jian pondered for a long time before saying, "I need to think about it."

Ok?
Cao Yanhua and Cao Yang both looked over in surprise, as they did not expect that Yang Jian, who had always been very close to the headquarters, would make such a choice at this time.

What you call consideration, doesn’t it mean that you’re already attracted to something?

Although they were confused, they did not refute it on the spot. They just took note of the matter and planned to talk about it with Yang Jian after the dinner.

"Brother Yuan, what do you think?" Fang Shiming asked expectantly.

He doesn't care about the headquarters' opinion at all. No matter what he wants to do, the headquarters can't restrict him.

Lin Yuan said: "Of course, according to Xiao Liu and Xiao He's situation, just let me know when you are ready, no need to trouble yourself."

Lin Yuan still needs to be more tolerant towards his own employees.

Fang Shiming immediately expressed his gratitude with a very sincere attitude, which made Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing, "You specially invited me here today, don't you want to talk about this?"

"Of course not, there is another more important thing."

Fang Shiming slapped his forehead, he almost forgot his main purpose this time.

In addition to finding a way to make money and consolidate his position in the Peace Hotel, what he was about to say next was his real purpose, "Brother Yuan, you also know about the relationship between me and Lao Fan. After spending so much time together, I also want to really get along with Lao Fan, so..."

What?
I originally thought that Zhang Xianguang was going to work for the Peace Hotel for free, and this kind of flattery was already incredible, but I didn’t expect Fang Shiming to actually use such a big trick!
The story between Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher Lao Fan is also no secret.

There is also Wang Xiaoming, Guo Fan, and a ghost. Although the "love quadrangle" between these three people and one ghost has not been exposed on the Internet, it is familiar to everyone in a certain small circle.

It's clearly recorded in the supernatural files at the headquarters.

Cao Yang, Wang Chaling, Yang Jian, and Zhang Xianguang all knew it clearly. Only Awu was still confused and had no idea, or could not understand what Fang Shiming meant.

Even some time ago, with Lin Yuan's matchmaking, Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher Lao Fan went on two dates in real life.

But even so, everyone would only think that this was the cognitive influence of the "store manager", making Fang Shiming clearly want to refuse, but he had no way and no suitable reason.

But what's with your current attitude of "I want to marry Lao Fan"?

Even if you want to flatter the "store manager", there's no need to get married to a ghost, a ghost that can easily tear you into pieces, right?

Facing the strange and complicated looks from everyone, Fang Shiming sneered and thought to himself: "What do you know? The so-called being together, the so-called marriage, is just a way to control evil spirits, and a way to deeply bind myself to the Peace Hotel and the manager. When I have the support of the Peace Hotel in the future... even if it's just the support of the ghost messenger, I can walk sideways in the world!"

When we arrived at the Peace Hotel, we were submissive.

Leaving the Peace Hotel, the king returns!
Fang Shiming is full of expectations and yearnings for the future, and now he only needs to get Lin Yuan's approval, then he can completely control the ghost messenger.

From now on, please call yourself:

Ghost Messenger Fang Shiming!
"Have you and Lao Fan come this far? Congratulations, but Lao Fang, do you mean that you want to get married?"

Lin Yuan said with a smile on his face, while hiding the mockery in his eyes.

Good guy!
What a great guy! He didn't expect Fang Shiming to be so bold and come up with such a method to control the ghost.

Although in essence, this is indeed controlling the ghost, but would outsiders really think so?

For those who like to have fun, Fang Shiming is doing this for power. He is even willing to please evil ghosts and marry a ghost that obviously looks male (masculine?).

This sacrifice, this price, is too incredible, right?

It would be fine if he was an ordinary person, but Fang Shiming is different. He is the president of the circle of friends, and the circle of friends is a behemoth in China that can influence the decision-making of the headquarters!
Even a person like this has to use this method to gain power and please the Peace Hotel?

Just look at the "admiring" eyes of Yang Jian, Wang Chaling and others and you can tell that Fang Shiming's choice this time is really a big satellite!
However, Lin Yuan was very happy to see this scene. "Being cruel to yourself is the real cruelty. Lao Fang, Lao Fang, you are really cruel!"
