Chapter 47: One Step Further

"The idea is indeed excellent, I mean, it's not perfect." Gao Yuan smiled and continued: "Since Mr. Wu has the intention to open the best restaurant, in my opinion, everything in it must be the best restaurant. Okay, not just wine."

"Everything is the best, how do you say that?" Wu Kai shook his head and said, "Nephew Gao, this is not easy to define. I think that we have the best wine, which is enough to make a name for ourselves."

"Master Wu, don't forget, in the future, our wine will be sold freely. At that time, all the restaurants in the county began to sell our wine, so wouldn't our restaurants have no advantage? "

"My purpose was originally to sell wine. If the purpose is achieved, it doesn't matter if the restaurant makes money or not."

"No, since it's done, it's natural to be the best, and Master Wu, this is a hugely profitable industry. If you operate it well, the profits will far exceed selling wine." Gao Yuan threw the bait.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that the profits of selling wine far exceeded that of other wine sales, which was already a hugely profitable industry for Wu Kai, he immediately aroused his interest.

"How can he make such a big profit?"

"Without him, Gui'er!" Gao Yuan laughed.

Wu Kai and Lu Hong looked at each other.

"that's it?"

"Of course not, expensive, of course there is a reason for being expensive!" Gao Yuandao said: "First of all, we must pay attention to the decoration of our restaurant, and we must not make it as brilliant as the nouveau riche. You must know that the county is no better than us here. , must have characteristics, and after asking people to come here once, they will remember our uniqueness here."

"That's easy to say!" Wu Kai said.

"Secondly, since it is the most expensive, the things inside must be the best, the best master, the best dancer, the best geisha, the best dancer, and the best luthier."

"Wait, wait!" Wu Kai said puzzledly: "We are a restaurant, what do we want these people to do? And we want the best?"

"Master Wu, you can't just treat him as a restaurant!" Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Who are our target groups, those rich people, those powerful people, these people have nothing at home, they come out to eat and drink , is it just for eating and drinking? No, if so, they would rather eat at home than outside, right? We want to make it a place for meeting friends, a place for trading, and a place to show off Where the face is, as long as the customer can think of it, we can do it for him."

"This is a bit difficult!" Wu Kai took a deep breath.

"So, I want the best." Gao Yuan affirmed: "The initial investment must be large, but once it starts to operate, I can guarantee that the money will surely come."

"Nephew so sure?"

"Of course!" Gao Yuan is full of self-confidence, "To make guests feel good, everything must be the best, that is, the most expensive. We want what others have and are better, and we have what others don't have. With this foundation, we can charge a high fee. At that time, you have to enter the door of our restaurant, ok, you have to pay the entrance fee first. We have no hall here, only private rooms, and private rooms have packages For the room fee, there is a dedicated server in each private room, and there is a service fee. Of course, if you want a dancer, a luthier, a geisha, all right, as long as you are willing to pay."

Wu Kai took a deep breath, "He, is anyone here?"

"Of course there are people who come here. In this world, there are many people who want this kind of taste, and what they want is a face. If others can't afford it, if he comes here to spend a lot of money, that must be a lot of face, isn't it? Come to our restaurant. , even a bowl of ordinary braised pork trotters, we have to charge him a thousand and eight hundred yuan." Gao Yuan laughed.

"My nephew is joking!" Wu Kai and Lu Hong both laughed.

"Master Wu, uncle, what's so ridiculous, let's rename this braised pig's trotters and call it Red Crispy Hands. With this name, will the mood be extraordinarily different?" Gao Yuan chuckled.

"Red crispy hands, yellow vine wine, and willows on the palace walls in spring!" Wu Kai laughed, "A poem with such an artistic conception is actually used by you as the name of pig's trotters. Thinking about it, it feels unpleasant."

"It doesn't matter if the scenery is bad, as long as someone is willing to pay!" Gao Yuan smiled and said authentically." Stir-fried red peppers with green peppers, we call him peerless double pride, braised fat sausages, it is called Baizhuanqianhui, even if it is a bowl of clear soup for mouthwash , let's put a piece of chives on it, and we can also call him Raptor Crossing the River. Anyway, how elegant the name comes from, how to make others not understand how to come, and in the end, it is expensive. To do this business, we will try to be expensive, not The picture is right, if you think it's expensive, don't come!"

"For example, for the geisha, dancers, pianists and musicians in our restaurant, let's first make it clear that they don't sell their performances, and they don't sell how much money they pay. If anyone dares to make a move, they will be dragged and thrown out, Master Wu, and so on. , Do you think that the grade of our restaurant has gone up suddenly?"

Wu Kai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Gao Yuan, and was really moved.

"But it's so expensive, what if no guests come to the door?"

"Let's just say it first, don't we have good wine as a gimmick during this time? If you want to drink good wine, you must come to us, and slowly, everyone will discover the benefits here."

"What you said earlier is indeed correct, but nephew, the county is no more powerful than Fufeng County. What if these people make trouble?"

"That's why we have to bring in the prefect, the first, and the second, we naturally have to treat those who can get in the way of our necks, for example, give him a special one in our restaurant. Room, this room is not allowed to come in, it is only used by him, and other charges can be discounted, so that he has more face? The prefect was a shareholder at the time, and this building is also his, he naturally has a room It's his house, and everything is free of charge."

"It makes sense, it's worth a try!" Wu Kai was eager to try it.

"As long as Master Wu is willing to invest, I still have a few brewing recipes here." Gao Yuan smiled.

"Is there any other recipes for brewing?" Wu Kai was surprised and delighted.

"Yes, it's fruit wine." Gao Yuan said calmly: "Let's make some colorful fruit wine and put it in the restaurant, it can also attract the families of the powerful and powerful to come here. Master Wu, think about it, we This restaurant has private rooms, and rich people can also rent a room for a long time, as long as you pay for it? In this way, their family members come to the restaurant, and they will not be exposed to the public, won’t it kill two birds with one stone?”

"Wait a minute, you said this wine is colorful?"

"Of course, red orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, you can make it any color you want!" Gao Yuan said.

Wu Kai's eyebrows twitched rapidly, staring at Gao Yuan, "How much?"

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses. It turned out that Wu Kai thought he was going to sell the property again, and immediately smiled: "Master Wu has seen the outside world, since the restaurant has shares of my uncle and I, it is naturally our own. Business, what money do you need? Of course, it would be best if you could forgive the thousand kuai I borrowed earlier!"

Wu Kai laughed dumbly, Lu Hong smiled and shook his head, unable to see how lazy Gao Yuan was.

"Okay, I don't want this thousand sticks anymore. How can you give me a thousand sticks? When will you give it to me?"

"I'll write to you when I go back." Gao Yuan said generously.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Wu Kai stretched out his hand to hold Gao Yuan's hand and laughed.

"But Mr. Wu, this white wine, we can take a quantity, but this purple and red fruit wine, we can't take it, we must take it slow, and it must be sold out regularly, even if there is, I also said no more." Gao Yuan said mysteriously.

"I understand, I understand, things are rare and valuable, the less they are, the more expensive they can be sold!" Wu Kai agreed.

"Master is indeed a genius in business!" Gao Yuan flattered again, "But Master Wu, why don't you want to make more money on top of baijiu?"

"It's been a jar of money now, and I'm a little terrified of selling it."

"In the future when our restaurant opens, you can go to the potter, burn a jug of different shapes, and then pack the wine in it, and then give them a nice name, such as Hundred Days Drunk. , Yutangchun, wait, I'm not very good at it, but if you listen to it, it will be elegant, and it will have a mood, just like this braised pig's trotters, let's call it Hongshoushou, give it a name, we can raise the price, and let's talk about this wine The pot, the more elegant it is, the more expensive it will sell. Well, it is best that this wine-holding utensil can be used as a decoration even after the wine is finished. We can sell a jar of wine for a pound of wine, can't we?"

Lu Hong on the side was dumbfounded and looked at Gao Yuan, "Gao Yuan, where did you learn these things, why didn't I know you had the talent for doing business before?"

"Nothing to think about!" Gao Yuan said with careless eyes: "In the past, my uncle looked after me, but I didn't know that Chai Mi was expensive, but now I have more than 100 people under my command, eating and drinking, but I'm worried and trying to make money. !"

Lu Hong nodded: "It's hard work!" In his heart, he naturally thought that Gao Yuan made so much money to build an army for the sake of his eldest brother, Lu Chao, and he naturally had to thank him. This can't be said clearly in front of the magistrate Wu.

Wu Kai looked at Gao Yuan, "My nephew, you're too conscientious to lead soldiers, why don't you be a soldier and help me do business, I won't treat you badly, the shares are the same, I will open you a thousand dollars every year. wages, how?"

Lu Hong was startled, but just as he was about to speak, Gao Yuan waved his hands again and again: "Master Wu, I can only come up with ideas here, you really want me to do business, you have to pay so much that you don't have to wear pants."

"It's enough to have an idea! An idea is worth a thousand dollars. When you say this, I immediately feel that our restaurant has a bright future. Let's open a restaurant in Liaoxi County first. After making money, we will go to Yuyang County and Jicheng. Nong, these places are much richer than our Liaoxi County, so I'm really excited to think about it."

"It's not just these places, Master Wu, not only do we want to bloom everywhere in Dayan, Zhao Han Qin Wei Chu Qi, no matter which country he is, he must have our restaurant!"

Wu Kai agreed. Lu Hong blinked, watching the old man and the young man tie their heads together, discussing how to open up. He couldn't get in on it, so he drank the tea one by one and sipped the tea. Drink a pot of tea to the fullest.
