Moreover, after buying one, you’ll want a second one, right? In the future, you’ll choose Xing Brand for your fishing line and sinkers, won’t you? You’ll also pick Xing Brand for the Fishing Box rod holder, right? The Net and Yu Hu will also be from Xing Brand, won’t they? With all this fishing gear, you could buy several cars!
With more tourists coming here, the food street's reputation will surely rise! After two months of effort, the food street in Anyou Town will definitely gain some fame in Sanya! If I can manage my ten stores well and keep an eye on the ten stores under Yi Laotou, as for those ten independent shops, their fate depends on their own conscience!
If this can be arranged, we can save on advertising costs. With such a big movement, won’t the Sanya government provide some support? Price’s banner is something Shi Tian wouldn’t dare to raise; that would mean going against all the butchers in Sanya. It’s better to find a more reliable path!
As for Price, that’s something that should remain in the shadows. If I reveal it through my ten stores and the ten stores under Yi Laotou respond positively, then those ten independent shops won’t be able to stir up any trouble with Feng Lang.
Tian Ge, I’m just an outsider; can I participate? Just as Shi Tian finished sketching out this plan, Sun Lang handed him a cigarette while burping from the alcohol and stared at him curiously.
In an instant, the carefully built-up mood dissipated; Shi Tian felt defeated by him!
Sister Lang, I’m discussing serious matters here! With a stern face, he shot back at Sun Lang. Lighting up his cigarette with a lighter, he wondered how long it had been since he registered. Had his intelligence dropped?
With just over two months until the fishing ban starts, I’ll head to the town tomorrow to negotiate with them about the land. This should be easy to discuss; as long as we don’t ask them for money, they’ll be eager to jump on this opportunity to gain political merit!
Finding a team for this is also easy; just hint at some news and a bunch of people will rush over to compete for it. If we hurry a bit, once the large equipment arrives in these few days, we can have the Fishing Platform built within twenty days at most.
You’ll be responsible for opening up the stores in this area. Xiao Feng and Xiao Yu will plan the fishing competition. Just give a heads-up to the town; as long as your store opens within a month, everything will be fine!
Listening to Sun Lang’s serious analysis made it seem like this task was indeed quite simple! He had been troubled by it for several days, but after hearing his breakdown of it, it felt much easier!
My ten stores are no problem; they’ve been under renovation for several days now. I’ll start hiring tomorrow; once everyone is trained up in a few days, we can open. We can do a trial run on the third day of the new year and officially open before the tenth! Tapping his fingers together, Shi Tian felt like he had little left to worry about!
The restaurant matters are handled by Fei Fei, and she has set her own timeline; I believe that will go smoothly. As for those ten stores under Yi Laotou, I’m currently facing a bit of a headache since there are only three so far—quite far from our goal!
The ten independent shops are easier to manage; we already have four established and only need two more targets. There’s no need to rush for those last four; they won’t affect the overall situation whether they open or not!
Tomorrow I’ll take the old man out to read fortunes on the street! Is he just going to fish without doing any real work? This Yi Laotou seems somewhat distracted!
You should talk to those unreliable folks about planning; the failure of the Rock Fishing Tournament wasn’t due to fishing skills but rather how well they settled their families! Only when their families are taken care of can they fish happily!
After saying this to Sun Lang, Shi Tian turned and left. He took a stroll around Cai Mingli’s shop; it seemed that even though Yi Laotou was just focused on fishing, this shop had become much more organized since he left—looks like he had come by to give some pointers!
He ran over to the opposite side at the Fishing Platform, where Xiao Feng was still fishing. It was already past one o’clock, and surprisingly enough, even Old Zhang had come over to cast a couple of lines—wasn’t he tired?
Boss! You’re here! Seeing Shi Tian, Xiao Feng immediately stood up: Want to join Uncle Zhang for some fishing?
He had seen Shi Tian drinking with Sun Lang, but compared to making money from fishing, drinking didn’t attract him much. With just another week left until the ban starts, business selling fish has been quite good lately.
What time is it? Still fishing? Tomorrow, Sun Lang has something to hand over to you guys. If you handle it well, your resources could double!
If that unreliable duo can really plan out the Rock Fishing Tournament beautifully, then letting them remain ordinary staff would be quite a waste of talent. If we can hold a tournament in Anyou Town, why not have a big Taiwanese Fishing competition after the ban in Xishuangbanna! And what about hosting a food competition at the food street across?
There are plenty of things that can be planned without organizing competitions; however, at that point, it wouldn’t fall under his purview anymore. He was determined: once he got the food street up and running, he would retire and focus solely on fishing while leaving money-making matters to them!
Without the Rod in Xiao Feng's hand, Shi Tian leaned closer to Old Zhang. It was unreasonable to ask him to move his shop from the food street across the way, especially since it had just opened.
The lobster shop was doing well, and Shi Tian planned to offer him another store. He wanted to gauge Old Zhang's attitude based on the standards set by Cai Mingli and Huang Pao Shen. Discussing the power of this matter with Old Zhang wouldn’t yield much; he hadn’t gone fishing for over a month because of the lobster shop. If he were to receive another store, Old Zhang would likely shake his head like a rattle drum.
Taking advantage of a moment alone, Shi Tian called Aunt Zhang over and handed a cigarette to Old Zhang. "Aunt Zhang, as you can see, several new shops have opened across the street. Those ten shops over there belong to me, and soon it will become a food street!"
"Your shop has just opened; moving over there wouldn't be suitable. You and Uncle Zhang have experience, and the Little Lobster Shop is running quite well. Therefore, I want to offer you another store. You and Uncle Zhang can each manage one and hire a couple more waitstaff. It will definitely be profitable!"
After saying this, Shi Tian briefly mentioned the business model of Cai Mingli and Huang Pao Shen. If they were interested in taking over this new shop, they could follow that model!
Compared to Cai Mingli and Huang Pao Shen, Shi Tian also provided them with an incentive: if they could invest double the amount within half a year, he would give them a 90/10 profit split in advance—a deal that neither Cai Mingli nor Huang Pao Shen had offered!
"No! We have limited energy; one shop is enough for us!" Upon hearing Shi Tian's proposal, Old Zhang immediately jumped up to refuse. Just as he stood up, Aunt Zhang swiftly grabbed him by the waist, twisting his wrist so that he jumped and bounced around.
"Xiao Tian, we’ll take that shop! Tomorrow I’ll personally go rent the place and get it renovated. By the tenth of next month, we’ll definitely be open for business!" She pulled Old Zhang into her embrace and covered his mouth with one hand as she spoke.
This time, Shi Tian truly witnessed Aunt Zhang's assertiveness! No wonder Old Zhang hurried home whenever she called out; if he took too long, he might end up with a broken leg!
"Aunt Zhang, should we ask Uncle Zhang for his opinion?" Shi Tian tentatively asked while looking at Old Zhang struggling under Aunt Zhang's grip.
