"Did you leave them behind?"

Lu Zhaoyang was busy tidying up the table when he heard what the cashier said.

He looked up and saw that the table where Grandpa Hei and the others were sitting was now empty.

The figures of several old men were slowly walking away, chatting and laughing, making it seem particularly lively.

"Hmm, there are still a lot more," the young woman said.

"All right."

Lu Zhaoyang thought, "I've already given it to him, I can't just send it back."

Given the old man's temperament, he's someone who cares about his reputation.

Let's find another opportunity later.

Lu Zhaoyang straightened up and chuckled softly, "You can keep the extra as a tip, otherwise it'll just benefit the boss."

Cashier: "..."

You're talking as if you're not the boss.

After saying that, Lu Zhaoyang didn't care about his little joke and bent down to get back to work.

Today, he is not a partner, but a part-time worker earning money.

……

Late at night.

There are very few new guests now.

The number of existing customers is also gradually decreasing.

Li Jianxiang, dressed in a white chef's uniform, was covered in sweat, his hair soaked, and he was finally able to come out and catch his breath for a while.

"Zhaoyang, you've really worked hard, making you do the work of a waiter."

"Brother Xiang, you've worked hard."

The two apologized to each other.

Li Jianxiang felt very guilty that Lu Zhaoyang, one of the bosses, was now helping out as a waiter.

But Lu Zhaoyang felt something else entirely when he looked at Li Jianxiang's wet hair and flushed face.

Li Jianxiang, the store manager, was always busy in the kitchen, putting in a tremendous amount of effort. He was truly the pillar of this appliance business.

As for Lu Zhaoyang, he only contributed some money and is now reaping the benefits without lifting a finger.

He's starting to resemble an ancient landlord exploiting good people.

"Brother Xiang, how did you manage to make business so booming on the first day?"

Lu Zhaoyang finally asked the question that had been bothering him the most.

He is aware of all the publicity plans that Li Jianxiang has devised up to this day.

He's a guy, and after thinking about it, he really can't understand it except for cheating.

There will definitely be some effect, but in theory, it should never achieve such amazing results.

That just doesn't make any sense.

He was too curious.

Li Jianxiang wiped his face with a towel, lit a cigarette, and then smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple. I just posted an opening notice in the group, and I didn't expect so many people to come and support me."

"What group? The property management group?"

During the last food tasting, Li Jianxiang invited the property manager of Guanlan Community.

Lu Zhaoyang naturally assumed that this meant they had infiltrated the property management group of Guanlan Community or the surrounding communities.

In that case, adding a "GG" tag would be a good way to promote the product.

However, he still felt that the effect was a bit exaggerated.

It still doesn't make sense.

"It's not a property management group, more like a fan group."

Li Jianxiang laughed as he spoke, and continued to explain, "You know I've been setting up my stall for several months now. I've moved around a lot and changed locations several times. It's been quite a hassle, but thankfully I've managed to build up some customers during this time."

Li Jianxiang took a drag of his cigarette and said slowly, "Because we're always being chased by the city management officers, and our business hours aren't fixed, some customers always end up coming empty-handed. This can't go on forever. After someone gave us some feedback, we created a group chat. Many people who appreciate our dishes have joined the group. If there are any changes to our business hours or location, we can notify them through the group. So, for the opening of our new store, I announced it in the group chat, and most of the people who came today were from the group."

Fan group?

Lu Zhaoyang almost laughed.

Many fans join the group and maintain customer relationships, but this is supposed to be a fashion store selling clothes, or a community group buying platform where customers can earn points to redeem eggs.

Is this a street stall selling barbecue?

"Brother Xiang, are there many people in the group?" Lu Zhaoyang asked.

"Not many, only one or two hundred people."

One or two hundred people, isn't that a lot?

Lu Zhaoyang was speechless with astonishment.

This is a group of customers with extremely high recognition and loyalty.

That's amazing!

Lu Zhaoyang thought about it again and realized that in their fishing circle, this was equivalent to baiting the fishing spot.

Given Li Jianxiang's skill and how long he's been playing, those who joined the group must be absolute die-hard fans!

No wonder business boomed as soon as I called out.

There's one difference: once a nest is dug, it doesn't recognize anyone and can't be moved.

Li Jianxiang's can be moved.

Lu Zhaoyang scratched his head, inwardly sighing repeatedly.

If the start is this bad, he can't imagine how things will go next.

He felt like he hadn't just struck gold, he had struck it lucky.

"Next, I plan to open our own social media accounts for our restaurant. I've never done this before, but with the internet becoming so developed, I feel that opening a channel will provide a way to communicate with customers. Also, based on Su Rui's suggestion, we plan to select some active personal accounts and offer promotions like free meals if they get a certain number of likes on posts related to dining. We don't need food bloggers; they don't need to promote our restaurant. In fact, it would lower our image..."

As was his habit, Li Jianxiang began by discussing the upcoming promotion plan with Lu Zhaoyang.

Lu Zhaoyang listened attentively throughout, and could only conclude that Li Jianxiang's business acumen was truly remarkable.

The key is that it is highly targeted in the catering industry. Some of it may seem outdated, but it is extremely effective when analyzed in detail.

Lu Zhaoyang increasingly felt that his early declaration not to interfere in the business was indeed the right choice.

"Today's sales figures are out."

As the two were chatting, Su Rui walked over quickly, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

"How many?"

Li Jianxiang suddenly stood up and asked.

Lu Zhaoyang followed him over.

"The amount is close to..."

Su Rui's gaze swept between the two of them, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and she slowly uttered a few words: "150,000!"

Holy crap!

Lu Zhaoyang was dumbfounded, which was quite pathetic.

He has limited knowledge of the catering industry, but he has a basic understanding of profits.

Even at a low estimate, the net profit margin for catering businesses should be above 20%.

With such a rough calculation, the daily profit is around 30,000 to 40,000.

This is just too much...

"Can."

A satisfied expression flashed across Manager Li's rosy face, but her tone remained calm: "It's a little better than expected."

Is it only slightly better?

Lu Zhaoyang then inwardly praised him.

Compared to his own shock, Li Jianxiang had really fooled him this time.

The overall structure was immediately apparent.

This was considered acceptable? Lu Zhaoyang felt it was like picking up money from a sack on the street.
