Siheyuan: starting from the master chef of Jinggang canteen

A big smile appeared on the waiter's face.

"Then I'll pour a glass of water for the two customers."

It is also quite rare to fully respect the personal choices of customers.

You know, what Su Ye hates the most is the kind of shop where the waiters come to pester you as soon as you enter the shop.

Su Ye took a general look at the store. The decoration was very high-end, revealing a retro royal taste.

And the customers in the shop seem to be all celebrities and famous families in the society.

Needless to say about the clothes, both the tailoring and the materials are very elegant.

Just as Su Ye was looking at the place carefully, someone noticed him.

"Hello, are you President Su?"

A young man approached with a smile.

".~Hello." Although Su Ye actually didn't like this kind of sudden strike-up, he still had to be polite.

"It's really you! I saw your report on TV once, so I knew what you looked like. I didn't expect to actually see you today!"

The young man had a very excited expression on his face.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Su Ye said calmly.

Fortunately, the young man didn't yell. If he yelled and attracted others' attention to Su Ye's arrival, Su Ye would definitely turn around and leave.

"Of course I have a lot of things that I want to talk to President Su! Here is my business card, President Su, take a look!"

Even though he could see Su Ye's impatience, the young man still couldn't suppress his excitement.

Su Ye looked at the business card, and it turned out that this young man was Zhao Yuhang, the owner of a steamed stuffed bun restaurant chain that has been in the limelight recently.

"I've heard about your steamed stuffed bun shop, it's amazing, and it can even be opened into a chain store (Nuo Qian Zhao)!"

Su Ye also saw the news about Zhao Yuhang in the news reports at the time. Originally, he was just the owner of a small steamed stuffed bun shop, but he didn't expect to open dozens of them in Xiangjiang step by step. It can be said that it is the buns of all Xiangjiang people. They were all contracted by him.

Everyone appreciates this kind of young and hard-working person.

"Where is it! I feel that compared with Mr. Su's, my industry is more than a little bit worse."

In fact, the reason why Zhao Yuhang opened his bun shop into a chain store was because of Su Ye's influence.

It can be said that Su Ye's Sichuan private kitchen has spread to many places in Xiangjiang. At that time, Zhao Yuhang went to Sichuan private kitchen and came back after eating. He wondered if his bun shop could be like Sichuan private kitchen , Drive to the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang?

"You are also very powerful. You can do small things well, which is also very powerful."

Su Ye said calmly. .

Chapter 528 Su Ye's Plan

Hearing that people who are so powerful like Su Ye are praising him, Zhao Yuhang felt really embarrassed for a moment.

"Actually, I met Mr. Su today. It's really fate. I always have a question I want to ask Mr. Su."

Zhao Yuhang said in embarrassment.

"What's the problem? This is not a good place to talk."

After all, people come and go here, even if two people want to whisper something, there is obviously no place for them.

"I come here often. The third floor here is the living room. If President Su doesn't mind, we can have a sit down."

Zhao Yuhang patted his head, and said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, then go sit down."

Su Ye was also quite interested in Zhao Yuhang.

"May I ask if anyone is using the living room on the third floor today?"

With a wave of Zhao Yuhang's hand, a sales lady came over.

"Sir, there is no one now, but only members of our store can use the reception hall. If you have a membership card, sir, can you show it?"

The attitude of the sales lady is still very polite.

"I have 990."

Zhao Yuhang simply took out a membership card from his pocket.

After the saleswoman checked it out, she took the three of them to the living room on the third floor.

Just like the low-key and luxurious decoration style of the whole store, the living room on the third floor is also very elegant.

"It seems that Mr. Zhao is an old customer here."

After Su Ye smiled, he spoke calmly.

"Because the quality of the clothes here is quite satisfying to me."

Zhao Yuhang felt a little embarrassed.

But Su Ye just nodded silently and said nothing more.

"Go and pick out the clothes first, the two of us are talking about our own, just choose one for me."

Su Ye said to Zhu Guoliang calmly.

"Okay." This is exactly what Zhu Guoliang wanted.

And Zhao Yuhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the unrelated personnel leaving.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

After seeing Zhu Guoliang leaving, Su Ye spoke calmly.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that our Baozi shop has encountered some problems (bech) recently, and I still want to ask Mr. Su for advice."

Zhao Yuhang's attitude is still very modest, after all, in his mind, Su Ye is equivalent to a teacher.

"what is the problem?"

Su Ye was also a little curious, what kind of problems could go wrong in a small bun shop.

"The reason why we opened a branch at the beginning of our bun shop was naturally because our business conditions were very good, but if this continues for a long time, I find that our profits are actually gradually decreasing."

When Zhao Yuhang said this, he couldn't help frowning.

He also only recently discovered this.

When they opened their seventh branch, there were actually signs of this.

"In order to control the quality of food, each employee needs a month of training time. It can be said that the cost of this month is all paid by myself."

Zhao Yuhang is also a benevolent boss, and every employee can still get a salary during the one-month study time.

"But I found that it would take about three months for the cost I invested before I could recover the cost."

Making steamed stuffed buns is a small business after all, and it takes the route of small profits but quick turnover, so this is something Zhao Yuhang feels helpless about.

"How many employees do you need in a store?"

Su Ye asked calmly.

"Five employees are necessary, and then it will be determined according to the road section and business operations. The maximum number of employees is [-]."

That store is in the busiest urban area of ​​Xiangjiang, and it can sell tens of thousands of steamed stuffed buns every day.

"It's true that your operating costs are quite high."

Su Ye thought about Zhao Yuhang's current business situation carefully, and said seriously.

"Yes, yes, my business was not very good last month. I looked at the company's financial statements, and we were actually in a loss last month."

Zhao Yuhang couldn't help frowning when he said this.

After all, the food industry is incomparable with other industries, and it is impossible to get rich all of a sudden.

So loss is a very serious thing.

"How many stores do you have now?"

Su Ye asked very seriously.

Although he only met Zhao Yuhang today, since Zhao Yuhang asked him questions sincerely, he was naturally willing to answer them.

"If you add them all up, there are 34."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuhang is a little proud. After all, it is possible to open so many branches, which is impossible for ordinary businesses.

"Too many." Su Ye said very simply.

"I think you have opened too many branches. You only have one person. You don't have so much energy to control the quality of each store." Even if it only takes one day to manage a store, it takes a month Can't even line up. "Besides, Xiangjiang is such a big place that you have opened so many stores. Is it really necessary?" Su Ye frowned. Everyone must have an answer to this question.

Indeed, last month, Zhao Yuhang received several complaints because a customer ate worms in the steamed stuffed bun... Because of the improper handling of these problems, the sales of their steamed stuffed bun shop also dropped significantly. "It's true...but the store is open, so I can't close him." In Zhao Yuhang's view, there is no turning back for this kind of thing.

"Why can't it be closed? If I were you, I would definitely carry out a major rectification." In fact, if Su Ye were Zhao Yuhang, he wouldn't have opened so many branches in the first place!

"You didn't realize that steamed stuffed buns are not a daily necessity of people's life. No matter how delicious your steamed stuffed buns are, no one eats steamed stuffed buns every day. And even if it's really delicious, if the store is here, people from other places will also eat steamed buns. You can buy it, anyway, it will taste the same after heating the next day.”

Su Ye calmly explained the crux of the problem.

But Zhao Yuhang seemed to be hit all of a sudden, speechless in a daze. "Then what should I do now?"

It wasn't a big money-making business in the first place, but now it's still losing money. For Zhao Yuhang, it's all regret. "I think you should make statistics and close all the stores that are not doing well." Su Ye felt that if it was him, he would definitely do this.

"But after I do this, what should the employees of my stores do..." It can be seen that this Zhao Yuhang is really a very conscientious businessman.

Chapter 529

Su Ye was silent for a long time after hearing what Zhao Yuhang said.

"There are many things that can't be both. You can't make money and take care of employees at the same time." Su Ye really understood Zhao Yuhang's mood at this moment.

After all, Su Ye had experienced this kind of thing before.

At that time, Su Ye opened a second Sichuan private kitchen. Due to his lack of experience, he chose a road section where there were no people. Naturally, the business was very bleak.

There were dozens of employees in that store who had been with Su Ye for a long time. Even for those dozens of employees, Su Ye struggled for more than half a year.

But it has always been a loss. Even a rich man like Su Ye feels that this deal is really not worth it.

After much deliberation, Su Ye still decided to close the store.

"President Su, you closed the store, where shall we go in the future?"

At that time, those old employees were talking, and their own tears fell.

"You also have crafts yourself, and you are also hardworking people. I believe that Xiangjiang, you will never starve to death." Although Su Ye's heart was cut like a knife, he still said so.

"But there are old and young in my family. If I go to other places now, I will start all over again..."

These employees are relatively qualified employees here in Su Ye, and their remuneration is definitely much better than the average salary in the industry. "This is also a helpless thing..."

Su Ye knew very well that he was a businessman, not a philanthropist.

And taking a step back, these people are not so poor.

Although Su Ye felt that his conscience was condemned, he still disbanded the team at that time.

"You should realize that you are not a philanthropist, you are a businessman. Not only them, but more people follow you to eat and make money." Su Ye understood Zhao Yuhang's mood and situation at this moment, so That's why I can persuade you with such calm and kind words. "I see……"

Zhao Yuhang is really a young man, he can't hide anything on his face.The sadness on his face at this moment makes people feel unbearable. "Actually, if you need some of them later, you can bring them back."

Just like when Su Ye opened the store again later, Su Ye still invited those capable employees back. "I think you should open a factory in the later stage, so that you can control the quality problem." Su Ye said very seriously.

Many chain stores in modern times have done this, but many people in this era can't think of it.

"What do you mean?"

Sure enough, Zhao Yuhang was confused when he heard what Su Ye said.

In their cognition, steamed buns are more delicious if they are freshly made, so every store makes freshly steamed buns and sells them freshly.

This is really costly, but Zhao Yuhang has always felt that there is no way to do it.

"That is, you can open a factory, which is responsible for the production of steamed buns. After the production is completed, it will be sent to various stores. The stores only need to be responsible for steaming and selling."

Su Ye explained calmly.

"But buns have a short shelf life. The weather in Xiangjiang is so hot every day. If the buns go bad on the way, we will lose a lot."
