Hong Kong Variety Show: Me, the Traffic Enforcement and Control Team?

This L Burger is a Western-style fast food restaurant opened by Salina.

After Lin Zhengyi invested one million yuan in her, she spent more than a month selecting a location, purchasing equipment, contacting suppliers, and experimenting with fried chicken burgers that suited the tastes of Asians before the store finally opened.

Four stores were opened in total.

There is one in Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, and Causeway Bay.

The one in Tsim Sha Tsui is the headquarters; the ground floor is a restaurant, and the upper floor is currently the company's office space.

"Didn't you ask me to come and see the company's opening? Of course I wouldn't dare disobey!"

Lin Zhengyi went directly to Shalena's desk, pulled up a chair next to her, sat down, said something with a smile, and then carefully looked Shalena over.

Today, Salina wore blue skinny jeans on her lower body, a white women's blouse on her upper body, and strappy high heels on her feet.

In this outfit, her legs were perfectly outlined by the tight jeans, and the white shirt made her already fair hands appear even whiter. Her fair feet, painted with black nail polish, were completely exposed in the strappy high heels.

However, what Lin Zhengyi was most concerned about was that her short hair, which used to only reach her ears, had now grown to above her shoulders.

Although this did not affect her beauty, but instead added a touch of charm to her original heroic spirit, Lin Zhengyi was curious about why she suddenly changed her hairstyle.

Lin Zhengyi immediately asked with a smile, "Are you planning to change your hairstyle?"

"No, it's just that I'm too busy and don't have time to go to the hair salon."

After saying something helplessly, Sharena changed the subject and asked, "What? Doesn't it look good?"

"No, it's beautiful!"

Lin Zhengyi shook his head and said, "You look good with any hairstyle."

"You're so sweet-talking!" Sharena said with a smile as soon as she heard that.

Apparently!

She loves hearing those kinds of words.

"By the way, how's today's sales? How's the profit?" Lin Zhengyi asked.

The main purpose of today's visit is to check on the restaurant's business, so naturally, these are the questions I'm asking.

"So far, all four stores are doing well. This is largely due to the fact that it is Sunday, a holiday, so there is a lot of foot traffic on the streets. Also, we are newly opened stores, so people are curious and want to try them out. In addition, the promotions are very attractive and tempting, which has drawn people in."

"But I specifically asked the staff to randomly check some of the customers and found that most of them said the taste was very good. As long as the price remains the same, even without discounts, they are willing to come again."

"Based on this, I think that after we cancel the discount, we should be able to maintain 70% of today's revenue on weekdays (Monday to Friday), and 130% to 140% on Saturdays and Sundays. After canceling the discount, our profits will increase, so the revenue on Saturdays and Sundays will actually be greater than today!"

"Based on the current turnover, after deducting material costs, rent, utilities, labor, and other expenses, each of our stores is expected to have a net profit of around 20,000 yuan per month," Shalena said seriously.

Twenty thousand a month!?

"not bad!"

Lin Zhengyi nodded approvingly and said, "It seems everyone really likes our fried chicken burgers!"

A store's income of 20,000 yuan doesn't seem like much.

But Lin Zhengyi knew that the investment in this store was only about 200,000 yuan, and the net profit of 20,000 yuan would only take ten months to recover the cost.

The returns from opening this store are already incredibly high.

It's important to understand that a store that can recoup its costs in one to two years is considered a good store, and a store that can recoup its costs in ten months is definitely one of the best stores out there.

"It's all thanks to you! If it weren't for your help, these fried chicken burgers might not have been so popular!" Salena said immediately.

The main reason why Lin Zhengyi was able to develop fried chicken and hamburgers that suited the tastes of Easterners so quickly these days is because of him.

Lin Zhengyi frequently visited the research and development lab set up by Shaliana and offered many helpful suggestions.

"I have a share in the shop too, I'm just helping myself out," Lin Zhengyi said with a smile.

After nodding, Sharena's expression turned serious. "However, there's something I need your opinion on!"

"what?!"

Lin Zhengyi asked curiously.

"loan!"

Salina said seriously, "Based on the current situation, this month's income is good, but fried chicken and hamburgers are very easy to replicate. As long as you have a good chef, you can probably guess the seasoning and production process after tasting them a few times."

"Under this premise, once someone copies us, or KFC and McDonald's copy our fried chicken burgers, then it won't be so easy for us to expand."

"So, I want to check the revenue at the end of the month. If the revenue is about the same as I predicted, I will use the store as collateral to get a bank loan, open a branch, and quickly seize the market."

"This way, even if someone copies our fried chicken and burgers, as a latecomer, as long as we have already occupied the market, they will not be able to beat us unless they want to fight us to the death, open another store near our store, and then use money to fight a price war with us."

listen!

"Your idea is actually quite good!"

After saying that, Lin Zhengyi pondered for a moment and then asked, "So how much are you planning to borrow?"

"Two million, I guess. It's not that I don't want to borrow more, but we only have these few shops. No matter how good our monthly turnover is, it's hard to get the bank to lend us more money!" Shalena said after thinking for a moment.

She understood the bank's lending process and conditions, and knew that no matter how impressive the sales figures of the four stores were, they could not possibly borrow far more than their intrinsic value.

Two million is basically the limit!

And this was only possible because she knew a good friend who worked at a bank.

"So how many stores do you think we'd need to capture the entire Hong Kong market?" Lin Zhengyi asked after a moment's thought.

"Although Hong Kong is not large, its population density is not small. To dominate the entire Hong Kong, you need at least two hundred stores. Of course, this is the maximum extent of domination, the kind that squeezes other similar stores out of business."

"If we're just roughly seizing market share, then we only need about fifty stores," Salena said after a moment's calculation.

"Fifty stores."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Zhengyi said, "Then there's no need to take out a bank loan. I'll cover the cost of fifty stores!"

Chapter 86 Buying a Property

"what?"

Salina was stunned.

"I said, I'll pay for fifty stores!" Lin Zhengyi said seriously.

"You paid it? Do you know how much that costs? Ten million!" Salina exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, I do!" Lin Zhengyi said seriously.

After a moment of silence, Salena spoke, "You're not lying to me?!"

"Snapped!"

Lin Zhengyi didn't waste any words. He simply picked up a book, threw it on Shalena's desk, and said, "This book, Harry Potter, had a million copies reprinted a few days ago. I made sixteen million!"

Salena: "."

Even though she knew Lin Zhengyi had written Harry Potter, she never imagined that a book could make so much money!

"I'll make a call and transfer the money to you!" Seeing that Sharana was still in a state of surprise, Lin Zhengyi said, picking up his mobile phone to make a call.

"Wait, you need to think this through. I can't guarantee that this investment will make money!" Salena suddenly came to her senses and quickly said.

"I believe you!"

After saying this with a smile, Lin Zhengyi added nonchalantly, "Besides, if you lose money, you lose money. If you want to make more money, you have to be prepared to lose money."

Talking!

He made a phone call and had the bank's customer service transfer ten million to Sharena.

Seeing this, Salena opened her mouth, wanting to say a few more words of advice.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

On the one hand, as Lin Zhengyi said, if you want to make more money, you have to be prepared to lose money.

There is no such thing as a guaranteed way to make money in this world.

On the other hand, she was confident in her abilities and felt that Lin Zhengyi could not possibly lose money by investing ten million.

Wait until the money is transferred!

Lin Zhengyi looked at her, chuckled, and said, "Alright, we've almost finished the important business for today. Now let's do something less serious!"

Upon hearing this, Sharena's cheeks immediately turned red.

How could she not understand the meaning behind Lin Zhengyi's words?

immediately!

She then said, "But this is the office!"

"Isn't that perfect? It'll be even more exciting!" A hint of excitement flashed in Lin Zhengyi's eyes.

Talking time!

He kept moving closer to Salina.

“The office is really not good,” Sharena said repeatedly.

However, despite saying that, Lin Zhengyi noticed that there wasn't much resistance on her face.

"You'll only know if it's good or not if you try it!"

Immediately, Lin Zhengyi grinned and said something.

Then, he pressed Salina down onto the desk.
