Peninsula Landlord

Chapter 513 We Choose
"Brother, how should we choose?"

"I don't know how to choose now~!"

Kim Jong Kook looked at Ha Dong Hoon's eyes asking for help, rubbed his swollen head, and gave Ha Dong Hoon a helpless look.

Last night, no, it should be said that a few hours ago, they were still dreaming about a bright future on their way to Huang Xu's company.

They believe that the pub business is so good now, with so many people queuing up every day, and the profits are quite terrifying.

And there is Huang Xu, an expert in chain franchising. As long as they open up the franchise business, they can just sit back and collect the money.

Of course, they also know that the number of Music Tavern stores cannot be compared with that of small shops like Suancai Malatang.

After all, the investment and audience of music bars and snack bars are completely on different tracks.

What they lack in quantity they can certainly make up for in quality.

They had just discussed on the way that if they could open 50 stores in Korea, they would be able to earn enough money for their retirement, or even to last them a lifetime.

At that time, even if I retire directly and concentrate on running the store, it won’t be a loss.

Unfortunately, their fantasy did not last long before Huang Xu poured basins of cold water on them.

Of course, this is not a big problem.

Being hit and being laughed at, aren't these the necessary lessons they have to go through as artists, especially comedians?

As long as their music bars can go smoothly and they can open 20 to 30 in Seoul or Korea, it would be a pity for them to retire now.

Unfortunately, their beautiful fantasies were extinguished by Huang Xu's continuous cold water.

And because of the choice given by Huang Xu, they fell into a dilemma, which made them very depressed.

It was obvious that when they came here, they were thinking about making a lot of money?
But no matter how depressed I am, I still have to think and make choices.

So the two of them were thinking about the pros and cons of each aspect and how they should make a choice in their minds, when Ha Dongxun suddenly had an idea and thought of a question.

Then he carefully looked at the closed glass door of the office, and then leaned close to Kim Jong Kook's ear and asked.

"Brother Zhong Guo, do you think Xiao Xu is trying to fool us or scare us?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Did you find anything?"

Hearing Ha Dongxun's question, Kim Jong Kook was stunned, and then replied in a low voice.

It’s a pity that Ha Dongxun didn’t discover anything, he just had a guess.

"I didn't notice anything, but I just felt that something was wrong with Xiaoxu, but I couldn't put my finger on it."

"You are alright~!"

After listening to Ha Dong-hoon's report, Kim Jong-kook shook his head with some disappointment.

Just now, when he saw Ha Dongxun being so serious, he thought he had made some important discovery?
In the end, he just doubted Huang Xu's motives and whether there was any concealment or deception in what he had just said.

Is there any need to ask about this kind of thing? There must be some, right?
We are all adults, and the premise of doing things is definitely for our own interests.

He believed that Huang Xu was the same.

But if you ask how big the problem is, he believes that it won't be that serious.

They are not stupid, they believe whatever Huang Xu says.

Yes, they don’t know much about business, but they are not fools. They will think and seek advice from others.

And since Huang Xu dared to give the two time and space to communicate, it proved that at least 80% to 90% of what he said was credible.

Ha Dongxun felt a little embarrassed when he saw the contempt in Kim Jong Kook's eyes.

The reason why he asked such a straightforward, or rather such a low-level question just now was mainly because he was completely confused by Huang Xu's continuous rhythm.

To the extent that even his normal thinking seemed to be problematic.

Fortunately, after seeing Kim Jong Kook's eyes, he quickly regained consciousness and his IQ also returned to normal.

"Sorry, Jong Kook, I was a little confused just now."

"It's okay, I'm fine now that I'm awake."

When Kim Jong Kook saw that Ha Dong Hoon's eyes had regained clarity, he first nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke to him in a tone full of emotion.

"Actually, I don't blame you just now. If I were in your position and heard what Huang Xu said, I believe I wouldn't be much better than you."

"After all, this is about your wallet and your future, so it's inevitable that you'll be a little too nervous and lose your sense of proportion."

"Thank you, Jong Kook!"

Hearing Kim Jong Kook helping him to exonerate himself, Ha Dongxun first thanked Kim Jong Kook, and then spoke in the same emotional tone.

"I didn't expect Xiaoxu to know this trick. Why didn't I see it before?"

"It seems that I still underestimated him?"

"Haha, you're not looking down on him, but he never cared about us or this business before. He was just playing with us."

“He is the real him now.”

"Otherwise, how do you think he became such a big boss?"

Kim Jong Kook looked at Ha Dong Hoon who was sighing, and after making a few comments with a smile, he said with an expectant look.

"And now that he's serious about it, it actually proves that this business of ours is really feasible."

"That's right. Being able to attract his attention and make him take it seriously is indeed an improvement."

"The question now is, how should we choose?"

“It feels like either path is acceptable, but each path has its own problems.”

Ha Dongxun also agreed with what Kim Jong Kook said, that Huang Xu has finally become serious.

However, after nodding, he showed a distressed expression again.

However, Kim Jong Kook spoke about this with confidence.

"The question now is not how we should choose, but how to get Huang Xu to participate more deeply in our business."

"."

Just when Kim Jong Kook and Ha Dong Hoon were struggling about what to do, Huang Xu, who had just left the office, walked to his uncle's office with a smile on his face.

He didn't care what Kim Jong Kook and Ha Dong Hoon would talk about or what choices they would make after he left.

To put it bluntly, he didn't take this business seriously.

I'm the kind of person who believes that if I get it, I'm lucky, and if I lose it, I'm doomed, and I don't intend to force it.

Yes, the dividends from the pub in the past few months are indeed good. An income of several hundred thousand RMB a month has exceeded the imagination of most people.

In fact, this income is considered high in most parts of the world.

If the scale can really be expanded, I believe the income can continue to increase.

But he still didn't take it seriously.

Compared to his next plans, this is really child's play.

In front of the tea table, Huang Wenfu looked at Huang Xu who came in and seemed a little surprised.

"How come you have time to come to me instead of spending time with your friends?"

"Hey, isn't this to give them some space to talk and let them discuss it properly?"

Huang Xu chuckled and briefly introduced the conversation he had just had with the two people, and explained the purpose of their visit.

Huang Wenfu was also surprised when he heard Huang Xu's words.

He has been working as a chef for more than ten years, and with this year's training, it is no exaggeration to call himself a senior catering practitioner.

But when he heard about the profits, he was still a little surprised. "Is their music bar really that profitable?"

“Is the profit here really that high?”

"To be honest, I never thought that this thing would make so much money."

Looking at his uncle's shocked expression, Huang Xu also felt a little emotional.

Just like what I just said, he really didn't take this business seriously before and just invested it casually.

Unexpectedly, the market feedback was so good and the profits were so high.

Huang Wenfu also nodded in agreement.

“Who would have thought of that?”

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have believed it to be honest."

"Although we are also in the catering industry, we don't really know much about this. Maybe this is the case of different trades, different worlds."

After sighing a few times, he looked at Huang Xu curiously.

"So what do you think?"

"Start franchising, open branches? Or do you want to start a joint venture?"

"It's not about what I want to do now, but it depends on what they choose."

Hearing his uncle's question, Huang Xu turned his head to look in the direction of his office and said indifferently.

When Huang Wenfu saw Huang Xu's reaction, he replied with some regret.

“What if they don’t choose to join a franchise or a joint venture, but just save money to open a branch?”

"Don't you think it's a pity?"

"That's their choice, and I can only respect their thoughts."

"As for saying it's a pity, that's not really the case. After all, his size limit is right here, and it won't be very good."

After Huang Xu finished speaking, he changed the subject and spoke to his uncle.

"Okay uncle, let's not talk about them anymore, let's talk about our business."

"How are the preparations going in China now?"

"I was just about to talk to you about this. Yang Rui and Song Yiming are making pretty good progress. They've found a suitable venue and are currently renovating it."

"Also, regarding research and development, now is also..."

"."

“Then this progress is indeed good.”

Listening to his uncle's report, a satisfied smile appeared on Huang Xu's face.

As the focus of his future career development, he was very happy to hear that the preparation progress was ideal.

Then, Huang Xu and his uncle chatted in his office about their next step and the strategy of returning to China.

And this chat lasted more than an hour.

By the time they realized it, it was already noon.

Huang Xu glanced at the time, then quickly stood up and said to his uncle.

"Uncle, it's almost twelve o'clock now. I have to go back quickly."

"I don't know if they are getting impatient."

"Yeah, let's go back quickly. I don't know if they are waiting anxiously."

Seeing Huang Xu's anxious look, Huang Wenfu simply waved his hand and told Huang Xu to go back quickly.

He also didn't expect that he was so engrossed in the conversation with Huang Xu that it ended up taking so long.

And when Huang Xu was leaving, he called Huang Xu with concern.

"Xiao Xu, do you want to drink at noon? I just bought a few boxes of Moutai a few days ago. I'll have someone bring a box over to you later."

"No need uncle, I don't think I'll drink at noon today."

"And if I want to drink, I have a few bottles in the car, which is enough."

Huang Xu waved to his uncle and left quickly, returning to his office.

As soon as the door opened, Huang Xu's apologetic voice was heard.

"I'm sorry, Jong Kook, Dong Hoon, I just had something to deal with. I'm really sorry that it took so long."

"It's okay, it's okay, your business is more important."

"And we could use two more cups of your delicious tea."

Seeing Huang Xu coming back, Kim Jong Kook and the other boy also had bright smiles on their faces.

Just after Huang Xu left, the two of them discussed for a long time, carefully weighing the pros and cons before finally making a decision.

Then, the two of them sat there, waiting for Huang Xu to come back.

However, what they didn’t expect was that Huang Xu would never come back after he left.

More than half an hour had passed and there was still no sign of Huang Xu returning, which made the two of them suspicious.

"What is Huang Xu doing?"

"Why did you take so long?"

"Is it true that something delayed them, or is it that they are not satisfied with their performance just now and are leaving us alone?"

"Or, like Kim Jong Kook said, does he really not care about this business?"

Now that Huang Xu finally appeared, they even felt like crying.

Huang Xu looked at the two enthusiastic people and was a little surprised. He didn't know what had happened between them.

However, now was not the time to delve into the matter, so he simply walked up to the two of them and spoke to them.

"I'm really sorry, brothers. I made you wait for so long. I feel really bad for that."

"Well, let's find a place at noon and have a couple of drinks to make amends to the two brothers."

As he spoke, Huang Xu pulled Kim Jong Kook and the other person, preparing to take them out.

However, after looking at each other, Kim Jong Kook and Huang Xu tacitly pulled each other.

"Xiao Xu, let's not rush about eating. Sit down and listen to our decision."

As they spoke, the two men pushed Huang Xu onto the seat.

Huang Xu saw this situation and did not insist, but looked at the two of them with interest.

"Have you two brothers made up your mind?"

"Well, the decision has been made."

Kim Jong Kook nodded, looking at Huang Xu's overly young face, and was a little dazed for a moment.

He didn't expect that all their hopes for the future would have to rest on Huang Xu, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But now the arrow has been drawn and has to be shot. Since the decision has been made, there is nothing they can do.

"Xiao Xu, we choose your second method, the managed franchise model."

"Also, there is one more thing, that is about your shares, we want to..."
