Back to eighteen, if I don't stand up, I'll be wasted

Chapter 161 Hot Pot Restaurant

"Did the company... give you any trouble?"

Jiang Li tidied her clothes and felt a little worried when she thought about how much help Li Yi had given her.

"I've collected your interest, so you don't have to worry about these things."

Jiang Li: "...Oh."

"Also, I brought you some clothes. See if they fit you. If not, tell me. You can wear new clothes next time you collect interest."

Li Yi also has high standards for himself. Jiang Li's fashion sense is still at the level of a high school student, a little too pure.

Change to a more mature style.

The way she dressed up at her last graduation banquet astounded him, and he had put a lot of effort into his clothes recently.

At present, he has customized fifty or sixty styles of clothing from more than a dozen manufacturers, all of which are prepared for Miniso.

Among them, there are several models that he thinks are very suitable for Jiang Li.

Let Jiang Li make a sample first. If it’s suitable, the series can be developed in depth.

The designs he does here are not professional, but one thing is that his understanding of beauty is ahead of the times.

From ancient times to the present, there is no clearly defined standard for "good-looking", but there is no doubt that except for the occasional curiosity, the standard of "good-looking" has been constantly rising.

Otherwise, beauty filters wouldn't be so popular, because they have elevated the standard of "good-looking" to another dimension.

Because Li Yi has been in the era of beauty enhancement for a long time and has a deep understanding of it, coupled with his knowledge of photography, he knows better how to match and what kind of clothes are suitable for taking photos.

Then just find a few foreign designers to put their names on it, and then you can say it was carefully designed by foreign designers, etc...

Chinese people just buy into this.

Especially in this era, if your products don’t have any foreign reputation, they won’t sell at all.

If you just search for nail clippers online, you will find that they are all made in Germany.

It seems like it can’t be sold without the word “Germany” on it.

Li Yi is definitely willing to respect the market's choice.

……

Jiang Li took the clothes given by Li Yi back to the dormitory.

In the dormitory, many people noticed her, and the other three roommates often kept their eyes on her.

"Jiang Li, you're back just in time. Lin Haoran's dorm wants to have a get-together with us. School starts tomorrow, so let's go out for dinner tonight. There's a new hot pot restaurant right in front of the school, and it's super luxuriously decorated."

"what?"

"Really, really, it's just a normal social gathering, just having a meal with classmates."

"OK then."

Jiang Li really wants to make friends in college and doesn't want to be a maverick.

Since her roommate was so enthusiastic, she didn't want to spoil the fun.

……

"Sister Jing, this is the hot pot restaurant you opened? And that Hongchun? Who named it?"

When Li Yi and Yu Jing walked to the door of the store, Li Yi stopped and started criticizing the store name.

Yu Jing rolled her eyes and said, "What's wrong with the name? I think it's a good name. It has a meaning and it fits the hot pot restaurant well, right?"

"Sister, a restaurant should be approachable and catchy. This name is even worse than Jiumei Hot Pot Restaurant."

"Then why didn't you come when I asked you to come when I opened the business?"

"I'm in Wuyun Mountain. I don't have time to come back even if I want to."

"Why do I feel like you're afraid of following the crowd?"

"Are you kidding me? I'm worth tens of millions, how can I be so stingy?"

Li Yi was indeed not there at the time, and Yu Jing did not tell him in advance.

When he came today, he brought the fruit 4S that Kunli had given him, intending to give it to Yu Jing as a gift.

He doesn't need it anyway.

When he wants one, he can complain about his broken phone in front of Yu Jing, and Yu Jing will definitely give it to him. Giving Yu Jing a gift will definitely not be a loss for him.

Yu Jing said, "It was just an experiment. I haven't even told my dad yet. Stop complaining about the name and come with me to take a look."

"Row!"

After Li Yi walked into the hot pot restaurant, he took a casual look around.

Since it has only been open for a few days, business is pretty good at the moment.

Most of them were students, because Yu Jing only asked people in a few universities to distribute flyers.

You can get a discount if you bring your student ID when you dine there.

Yu Jing had already arranged the seats. After taking Li Yi to sit down, she said, "Try the food first and see how it tastes. Then I'll give you some suggestions."

After Li Yi sat down, he glanced at the menu and said, "Sister Jing, although we haven't started eating yet, I have a true story and a false story. Which one do you want to hear?"

Yu Jing: “???”

"Tell me a lie first..."

“It’s very nice, the decoration is very luxurious and very clean. It has the flavor of Sichuan hot pot in every way.”

"and then?"

"No more."

"What about the truth?"

"Your store is going bankrupt!"

Yu Jing: “????”

No matter what happens, there should be no problem with normal operations, right?

Yu Jing took a look at the business performance in the past few days, and it was still very good.

It's just that because of the discount, I'm losing money.

But how could anyone in the catering business not lose money in the past few days?

Once everyone likes this place, won’t you be able to make money?
"Nowadays, everything is basically 50% off, and our daily sales are around 20,000 yuan. Many of my classmates say the food here is delicious."

"Whether it tastes good or not, I don't know yet. Besides, my personal taste doesn't mean anything. I just feel that other aspects are a bit too ordinary..."

Li Yi didn't need to hide anything when talking to Yu Jing. As for Yu Jing, as long as she didn't say that she and Yu Mancang were not father and daughter, she could tolerate other things very well.

I never get angry just because someone says something bad about me.

If it were someone else, it wouldn’t work.

Because many people think that negative words are unpleasant to the ear.

There are many reasons. Some people just don’t like to be underestimated, while others are pessimistic with bad intentions and like to find fault with others.

"How to say?"

"First of all, the semi-open partitioned private room is indeed nice, but why a round table?"

"Round tables are convenient for gatherings. Aren't gatherings among classmates a mainstream thing? Plus, round tables are more frequently used and more convenient for storing food."

"And why do the decorations tend to be traditional? To put it nicely, it's traditional, but to put it bluntly, it's old-fashioned. It may look luxurious now, but within six months, it'll look dingy."

The color tone is too dark.

Yu Jing: “…”

She thinks it looks good this way, and she can just find someone to redo it when the time comes.

Li Yi picked up the menu and said, "Also, the price is too high. It's not that being expensive is bad, but the current positioning of the hot pot restaurant and various other factors cannot support this price."

"How to say?"

"If we just put it together, based on two people, it would cost more than 300 yuan. This cost is considered high in Beijing."

"But the ingredients here are genuine. Who knows what they are like in other hot pot restaurants..."

Yu Jing also knew that the price was too high, but the cost could not be reduced at all.

"So, since the price can't be lowered, we have to provide added value in other ways..."
