When he returned home, it was already very late. However, Li Xiuli was still awake, sitting there reading a book. Under the oil lamp, Li Xiuli appeared more charming.
Today, while having a meal with his classmates, Zhan Lingfeng further felt the generation gap between himself and those classmates. While they were still discussing school matters, he was already preparing staff for his restaurant.
In fact, Zhan Lingfeng had not fully thought through the staffing issues for the restaurant; he was just trying it out.
Now that he thought about it seriously, he realized that he had not considered various aspects of the work. Both he and his wife had come to work in his restaurant, but the problems still existed.
As he walked back, Zhan Lingfeng also came up with an idea: chefs should not be entrusted to just one person. The best approach would be to hire three different types of people so that they could compete with each other, allowing him to have better control over them. As for managing the service staff, a similar approach would apply. Additionally, he needed to find someone experienced to manage finances; this was crucial and required someone with whom they did not have too close a relationship.
Originally, Zhan Lingfeng did not want to consider these matters. However, since practicing the Red Dust Heart Refining Technique, he felt that his inner qi was also growing as he engaged in these tasks.
No rush; take it slow. He could recruit from the local job market inside the county later and see if anyone was willing to develop in the countryside. If the restaurant in the countryside developed well, then he would definitely set one up in the county town as well.
"You’re back?" Li Xiuli looked at Zhan Lingfeng with surprise. Since last night, her attitude towards him had become more affectionate.
"Huang Yongping's situation forced me to spend money treating classmates to a meal there."
Li Xiuli smiled slightly and said, "I know about his situation. That restaurant has been open for a while now; their dishes are quite good. It's just strange that their business never seems to pick up. People do rely on fortune."
Zhan Lingfeng paused and said, "I really overlooked this matter. It is indeed true that whether someone has good fortune is important. If he himself lacks fortune, even helping others might affect the business owner."
"Really?"
"It is indeed true. Some people lack fortune; no matter how hard they work, fortune won't come their way. Yet some people can earn big money with little effort."
"Mm."
"However, it's not absolute. There are two ways to resolve this issue: one is to use someone who can stabilize things to keep him in check; the other is to employ a special feng shui arrangement to change their fate."
"Is Mom playing cards again?"
"Yes."
Zhan Lingfeng walked over and scolded Li Xiuli, "How did it go today? Does it still hurt?"
Li Xiuli quickly glanced at the door and then shyly said, "It's all your fault! How am I supposed to go to school tomorrow?"
"It's nothing, I said you were sick, but I didn't say where it hurts."
Li Xiuli's face turned even redder as she said, "Mom mentioned today that we've received quite a lot of goods again. They also came to ask, saying they have received a lot of stock and inquired about your delivery."
Zhan Lingfeng really hadn't paid attention to this matter and asked, "How much is there?"
"About the same as last time."
"In that case, we should have around seventy or eighty thousand in revenue!"
Zhan Lingfeng felt happy about this.
"By the way, I heard that some people have already found channels and started collecting goods. Their prices are higher than ours."
"I considered this a long time ago. I plan to gradually pull back from this business."
"You’re not going to do it anymore?" Li Xiuli looked at Zhan Lingfeng in surprise.
"Has Xu come back?" At that moment, the door opened, and it was Huang Xiaocui returning. Her voice was loud, probably intentionally to remind the two.
Li Xiuli quickly broke free from Zhan Lingfeng's embrace and walked out, saying, "Mom, you're back?"
"I heard someone say Xu has returned, so I rushed back."
Saying this, she pulled Zhan Lingfeng and said, "Xu, things are not looking good. You Xing and the others came by and said that now there are people coming into the village to collect goods. They are offering higher prices than we do."
Seeing his mother like this, Zhan Lingfeng said, "The villagers are dissatisfied with our low prices, right?"
"Exactly. Everyone has been discussing it privately. What should we do? Now that there are so many people offering high prices, we can hardly collect any goods; this business can't continue."
"Mom, I came back this time to talk about this matter. I plan to open a restaurant. As for the sales of Soft-shelled Turtle or whatever, we will continue if we have it; if not, we will stop. Recently, you can also consider raising the price appropriately—offer the same as them or even a bit more—until it doubles, then we will stop and let them have it."
"This is a good idea. We need a lot of bonuses; otherwise, how will you manage those stalls you've set up?" Huang Xiaocui suddenly became anxious.
"Mom, today I bought a set of yard in the countryside. That place will be turned into a collection and storage point. I've also found someone to help watch over it."
"The son-in-law said this, why did you spend so much money on it?"
"We still need to have a foothold in the Countryside. Besides, real estate will definitely appreciate; we won't lose out in the next step."
"What you're doing is getting more and more confusing to me. Anyway, I can't figure it out and can't help you. I'll just help you keep the village safe; the son-in-law will help me too."
"Well, there's one more big thing I want to say. I talked with the Deputy Township Head of Countryside today. I'm planning to invest in Countryside and open a large-scale restaurant. This way, the things we grow and raise will have a market."
"Opening a Restaurant? Can that make money?"
Zhan Lingfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll register a catering company using your name. You'll be the chairman."
Huang Xiaocui laughed and said, "Chairman? I don't understand any of this you're doing."
"I'm just not old enough; you can lend your name, and I'll handle everything."
"How do you know so much?"
Li Xiuli said, "But there aren't many people in Countryside. Can opening a large-scale Restaurant really make money?"
"You guys probably don't know this, but something is going to happen soon. A passage is going to be built through that mountain in Countryside. Once it's opened up, it will only take twenty minutes by car to reach the neighboring area. As long as our Restaurant is well-established, making money is inevitable. Besides, everything we grow and raise is all-natural; there will definitely be a market for it. With our reputation, many people will come. Don't worry; I have a plan."
