Catering God

Chapter 91 Vinegar Fish's Plot

During the remaining days of the National Day holiday, Tang Wenjun was responsible for taking Zhou Xiaoming out for runs every day.

It is particularly hard because choosing a location for a store is boring and painful in itself.

Jiang Feng and Tang Wenjun had previously calculated the cost of opening a store.

The renovation fee plus the cost of various equipment is about 50,000 yuan. If you choose a shop of 15 to 25 square meters and pay the rent once a year, plus the above fees, the total cost will be 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.
However, this is without any transfer fees.

In most cases, it is difficult to find a shop with a good location or that is idle. Generally, a transfer fee is required. Including the transfer fee, the cost of opening a shop is generally controlled at around 100,000.

The one million approved by Jiang Feng is enough to open ten more branches.

Because the financial crisis had just passed, housing prices in 08 were already very low. Jiang Feng felt itchy when he saw these shops that could be bought for more than yuan.

However, considering that he was short of money, he held back.

The top priority now is to expand the number of stores.

The National Day holiday is about to pass in the blink of an eye. The students of Hanchuan University have already returned to school by various means of transportation. The school is bustling with people coming and going, all carrying suitcases and returning to school. The school is no longer lifeless and has regained its vitality.

There are not many students in the Jiang'an campus. There are only freshmen and sophomores here. Juniors and seniors study in other campuses.

Despite this, as a 985 university, the area of Hanchuan University Jiang'an Campus is still very large compared to the campuses of surrounding universities.

On the same day of returning to school, Liu Bin, who had previously wanted to join, finally made up his mind and signed the contract to officially become the first franchisee of "Maple Flavor Guoba Potato".

"Thank you so much, Boss Jiang, for your guidance."

Because Liu Bin was hesitant about the problem of his store, Jiang Feng sent Tang Wenjun to help him choose a location and provide free guidance on all matters related to opening a store.

According to Jiang Feng's franchise rules, there is no franchise fee, but site selection requires two thousand yuan, guidance costs one thousand yuan per time, and so on.

However, these fees were basically waived for Liu Bin.

"Good job."

Jiang Feng patted Liu Bin on the shoulder and encouraged him.

After visiting the store that Liu Bin was renovating, Jiang Feng turned around and said to Tang Wenjun, "Let No. 1 Store take a day off on Thursday to clean up."

"Is there any examination?" Tang Wenjun asked.

Jiang Feng shook his head and explained, "I contacted the TV station's food program, and they will come to film on Friday."

Hearing that the TV station was coming to film, Tang Wenjun was immediately curious and asked, "Free?"

"Of course not. It cost me nearly fifty thousand dollars."

"Oh my god, it's so expensive?"

Tang Wenjun was a little shocked when he heard this.

Jiang Feng explained: "Just appearing on the show to advertise is 20,000 yuan, but if you add the host to the store to do the show, it will cost 50,000 yuan."

The show Jiang Feng mentioned.

It is a food program of Hanchuan TV Station, hosted by some of the more famous local Sichuan and Chongqing artists and celebrities. Each episode is about eating and drinking in some restaurants, ranging from high-priced restaurants to street snacks, with a wide variety of different foods.

It is equivalent to an early store exploration blogger.

And the charging standards are no lower than those of store bloggers.

It can only be said that it is far ahead.

However, there are not many channels for promoting franchising at the moment, and the best way is to promote it on TV.

Tang Wenjun curled his lips and said, "I thought these food shows on TV were real, but they were all advertisements."

"What do you think? Television stations also need to generate revenue."

Jiang Feng smiled lightly.

Back then, he was fooled by a food show on TV and foolishly joined a business.

Who knew that he would stumble upon the road to wealth in the catering industry.

Looking back now, I really sigh at how fickle fate is.

Sometimes a seemingly foolish decision can actually directly change a person's life. As the saying goes, "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise."

"By the way, you can find some part-time workers later and have them line up in the store to make it more lively."

"OK, I'm familiar with this."

Since we are going to shoot, we might as well market it to the end.

Isn’t it easy to just get a bunch of extras?
"Zhou Xiaoming has been running around with you these days. What do you think of him?"

After talking about the filming, Jiang Feng asked about Zhou Xiaoming's condition.

Tang Wenjun pondered for a moment before commenting, "We get along pretty well. Although Zhou Xiaoming seems a bit erratic, he's quite hardworking. I've been walking so hard these past few days that my legs are almost broken, but he hasn't said a word. I heard him say his hometown is in the mountains, so he must have experienced hard times in the past."

How could students from wealthy families think about going out to work part-time to make money every day?
Zhou Xiaoming may be talented, but the fact that a student works so hard to make money clearly shows that his family conditions are very ordinary.

Jiang Feng was worried that Tang Wenjun couldn't control Zhou Xiaoming, but he didn't expect that the two of them got along well. Seeing that the time was almost right, he instructed:
"Then you can give Zhou Xiaoming the phone numbers of a few people who are interested in joining and ask him to try to contact them."

Before, Jiang Feng asked Zhou Xiaoming to follow Tang Wenjun and act as his assistant temporarily, just to temper his temper.

Seeing that he was conscientious and hardworking, I decided to let him start to engage in the business of investment and franchising.

"Okay, no problem. I'll arrange it for him later."

……

When Jiang Feng returned to the dormitory, Zhao Jiuguang and Wang Tang were already there.

"Look at you all with rosy faces. Where did you go for National Day?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile.

"FK, I'm never going on a trip during National Day again. I said I was going to climb Mount Tai, but the mountain was packed with people..."

Zhao Jiuguang sat on the bed and packed his things, getting angry when he mentioned this matter.

Not to mention enjoying the scenery, Mount Tai would be flattened.

The coming and going of people ruins the mood of traveling.

"Wang Tang, where did you go to play?"

"Don't mention it. I've only been at home for a few days and I'm almost getting moldy..."

Wang Tang was staring at his computer. He had just finished complaining when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, come over and take a look! Someone posted on our school forum. He's created a page to vote for the most beautiful and handsome boys on campus!"

When new students enter school, there will inevitably be this seemingly boring, but actually highly participated, campus beauty and campus hunk selection event. Plus, college students are inherently very boring creatures, and this kind of activity is just the right way to kill boredom in their spare time.

After all, who doesn’t want to take a look at handsome men and beautiful women?
Therefore, as soon as this post with the link was posted on the forum, it became popular.

"School hunk? Damn, give me a vote."

The narcissistic Zhao Jiuguang jumped down from the upper bunk and moved closer to Wang Tang to look at the computer screen.

Even Huang Hao, who was fiddling with his phone nearby, was attracted.

Only Jiang Feng looked uninterested and was about to open his computer to surf the Internet.

Ever since the Internet cable was installed in the dormitory, it has become much more convenient to surf the Internet. I don’t have to go to the Internet cafe every now and then.

"Wow, all of them are beauties! How come I didn't know there were so many beauties in our school? Kawaii..."

Wang Tang was drooling at the sight, and looked extremely vulgar.

He flipped through the webpage and was stunned when he saw the girl who was ranked first on the school beauty list and was ahead by a large margin.

Wang Tang, Zhao Jiuguang and Huang Hao looked at each other.

They have seen this person before.

Wang Tang quickly called out, "Jiang Feng, come over and see who is ranked first on the campus beauty list."

"If it wasn't Chen Jingyu, then ask me to watch..."

Jiang Feng was boredly browsing the news website, which was a report about Apple phones.

Although keypad phones are durable, they are too annoying for people who are used to using smartphones. They are just looking forward to using a pure touch screen smartphone as soon as possible.

It’s a pity that Apple has just opened stores in the country and has not yet officially released the product.

My impression is that we will have to wait until next year before Apple and China Unicom will jointly release it and officially enter the domestic market.

By then, a wave of smartphones will be set off, and domestic and foreign manufacturers will follow suit, which can be described as a hundred flowers blooming.

Immediately afterwards, the Internet will enter a period of rapid growth.

This is also the place Jiang Feng is most looking forward to.

You know, he achieved initial success, and what he was best at was combining the Internet with catering entities.

"Did you already know the outcome?"

Seeing Jiang Feng's indifferent look, Wang Tang thought that he already knew the result.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Feng said very calmly: "I don't know..."

Although he hadn't seen it, he had great faith in Chen Jingyu's abilities.

With her here, we can definitely win the game without any surprises. Jiang Feng thought so, and out of curiosity, he clicked on the link that Wang Tang sent to the QQ group.

I went to the webpage and saw Chen Jingyu's photo.

It was a photo of Chen Jingyu waiting for someone at the school gate. She was still wearing the familiar white dress, purple bow and small leather shoes. There was nothing new about her outfit, but her little face, which seemed to be blessed with beauty, was truly stunning.

Jiang Feng couldn't help but frown and think. It seemed that Chen Jingyu was waiting for him to have dinner at that time?
Then I looked at the following comments:
"I've seen this girl in the cafeteria. She's really pretty."

"I saw him downstairs of the girls' dormitory at the beginning of the semester, but unfortunately some jerk took him around the campus first."

"I met her at the snack street before. She was really beautiful..."

Only a few users whose avatars were obviously girls commented that Chen Jingyu's appearance was average, but the shooting angle was good.

Just like high school.

Chen Jingyu's appearance has always been something that boys admire and girls envy.

Seeing this, Zhao Jiuguang was curious: "Old Jiang, it's been so long, and you two haven't made any moves yet?"

"What's the noise?"

Jiang Feng turned his head and pretended to be confused.

"No, it's been so long, and you still haven't caught her?"

Zhao Jiuguang widened his eyes, seemingly in disbelief.

Jiang Feng and Chen Jingyu were so close before, and he even took her with him to watch the sunrise.

Everyone thought they were dating.

In the end, Jiang Feng refused to admit it.

Zhao Jiuguang thought it was still developing, but he didn't expect that after such a long time, there was still no movement. He couldn't understand it.

After all, in his opinion, it was not easy to meet a girl as beautiful as Chen Jingyu at his age, so he had to hurry up and catch up with her.

Who knew Jiang Feng could still remain calm until now?

Jiang Feng frowned immediately, stood up, and couldn't help but complain: "No, is that all you have in your heads? Is there no pure friendship between men and women?"

Zhao Jiuguang and Wang Tang looked at each other and then shook their heads.

Suddenly, Huang Hao raised his hand. "When I was practicing Taekwondo, I maintained a three-year friendship with a girl in the Taekwondo club. We used to take naps together at noon, but we lost contact later..."

"Look, this is a real case." Jiang Feng said.

Zhao Jiuguang and Wang Tang's questioning eyes instantly locked on Huang Hao.

Huang Hao shrank his head and explained, "She's 1.9 meters tall and weighs 180 pounds. Like me, she also likes girls..."

What level of warrior is this?

Jiang Feng suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He coughed lightly twice and defended himself, "Although you haven't seen it, I will use facts to prove to you that a boy can maintain a pure friendship with a girl."

Obviously.

No one in the dormitory was willing to believe this.

Zhao Jiuguang patted Wang Tang's shoulder and said, "Old Wang, quickly check the school idol rankings. I want to see if I'm on the list."

Wang Tang glanced at Zhao Jiuguang and muttered something, but still clicked on the school idol ranking list.

Count from top to bottom.

"It's just so-so... this one won't do... he's not even half as handsome as me, how come he has so many votes?"

Zhao Jiuguang complained about every person he met.

It wasn't until Wang Tang moved the mouse and slid to the fourteenth place on the school idol list that he was stunned.

Zhao Jiuguang saw the people on the screen and immediately rubbed his eyes. He found that he had no fireworks, and then he immediately roared: "Gosh, why? Why can Jiang Feng be on the list!"

When Jiang Feng heard this, he hurried over.

"Come on, let me see how many girls' hearts my handsome face has captured."

Wang Tang was also very unconvinced and said: "No, Jiang Feng is obviously cheating."

In the photo, Jiang Feng was leaning against the Mercedes-Benz E and talking on the phone. Although the pixels were not clear enough, the car keys in his hand could still be seen.

Comment section below:

"Sisters, I want this boy's contact information."

"It's not that I like cars, it's more that I like guys who can control the steering wheel with one hand."

"I don't know anyone who owns a Mercedes-Benz, I just want to make friends with the rich."

This Mercedes-Benz E is really eye-catching.

The most important thing is that there is also a knowledgeable guy who explains the landing price of this car, which amazed a group of classmates.

If in later times, a college student drove a car to study, it would only mean that his family was wealthy, which was relatively normal.

But this was 2008 after all. A college student drove a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to study. If this wasn't rich, what was he?
Mercedes-Benz is the ceiling for ordinary families, but Mercedes-Benz E is now beyond the reach of ordinary families.

You should know that Chen Tiankuo lent the car to Jiang Feng in order to package Jiang Feng and ask him to help drive away Chen Jingyu's suitors.

It’s just that Jiang Feng got the car by trickery and never worked honestly.

I usually park farther away.

Being forced onto the list now is bound to shock classmates.

"Jiang Feng, do you still dare to say that your vote is clean? I want to apply for a referee!" Zhao Jiuguang was indignant.

Although Jiang Feng was embarrassed, he could only spread his hands helplessly.

"You can't blame me for that."

He didn't know when he was secretly photographed.

At this time, in the girls' dormitory of the Business Administration Department of the Business School.

Gao Jiayuan looked at the comment section under Jiang Feng's photo and laughed so hard that she fell down.

"Hahaha, this is making me laugh to death. I didn't expect Jiang Feng to be on the list. Come on, let me add some information about him... Jiang Feng from the Finance Department of the School of Economics."

Gao Jiayuan also learned about the existence of this webpage in the class group.

Unexpectedly, when I came in and took a walk around, I saw Chen Jingyu's photo hanging in the first position.

This is nothing. As Chen Jingyu's roommate and good friend, she also firmly believes that the first place belongs to Chen Jingyu.

But when she saw that Jiang Feng was actually ranked at the top of the school handsome list, especially because of the luxury car in the background, she immediately burst into laughter.

Chen Jingyu frowned and said, "Yuanyuan, why is Jiang Feng so popular?"

"Didn't you see the Mercedes-Benz in the photo? If you put this little car here, it would be strange if these girls weren't confused."

"Is this car valuable?" Chen Jingyu looked confused.

"certainly……"

Gao Jiayuan was about to explain, but stopped herself in time, afraid that the naive Chen Jingyu would blurt out a few more famous quotes from rich families and break her defenses. She could only sigh and say, "Hey, you don't understand. Children like us from poor families will never be able to afford a Mercedes-Benz E in our lifetime, so naturally we find it very rare."

Chen Jingyu listened and thought:
"So they like cars?"

Gao Jiayuan thought about it and shook her head:

"Not entirely. After all, Jiang Feng is quite good-looking. Such a young rich second-generation guy, there must be a lot of girls who like him. Look at the comments, so many girls are asking for a date."

After hearing this, Chen Jingyu looked at the comment section again. The look in her beautiful eyes suddenly dimmed. She put her little head on the table and fell silent.

Gao Jiayuan had just sent a QQ message to Jiang Feng to tease him. When she turned around, she noticed the change in Chen Jingyu and quickly asked, "Jingyu, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know, my chest feels a little tight."

Chen Jingyu pursed her lips and lay weakly on the table.

……

The next day.

Before class officially starts.

"Jiang Feng, we have voted for you. You have to treat us to drinks later, hehe." Li Manman held Wu Siyu's hand and teased Jiang Feng as soon as they met.

"Yes, we are calling on the entire dormitory to vote for you." Wu Siyu also joined in the fun.

Ever since the last time they went to Longquan Mountain to watch the sunrise, the two girls had completely lost interest in Jiang Feng after meeting Chen Jingyu, but it wasn't like they couldn't be friends.

In addition, Jiang Feng is handsome, rich, and has great personal charm, so he is very popular.

Jiang Feng was quite helpless. He directly picked up the meal card on the table and handed it over, choosing to beg for mercy: "Ladies, spare my life. I will treat you to lunch at noon."

Zhao Jiuguang, who was originally drowsy, suddenly raised his head.

This looks like his meal card!
Jiang Feng, you are so shameless!
