Raising new stores

David said with a smile on his face: "Bai Sheng, you are so sincere and want to rent this shop. The minimum rent is 12,000 yuan, and the minimum rent is five years."

Bai Zirui said: "David, the rent of the shop is still a bit high. My small business can't afford it. Do you think it can be lowered a little bit?"

David was also helpless. The stagnation of negotiations between the two parties caused the economic downturn in Xiangjiang. This 580-square-meter shop had no interest for a long time. He pondered for a while and said: "Bai Sheng, how about 10,000 yuan a month? This is what I can give

Offer the lowest price.”

Bai Zirui thought to himself, it seems that money can make the world go round, and it can work in any country. If he didn't spend 3,000 yuan to ask for directions, how could he rent a shop at a low price?

Bai Zirui nodded and said: "David, okay! At the price you mentioned, I rent this shop. How long do I have to decorate it?"

David said with joy: "Bai Sheng, if you sign the contract as soon as tomorrow, you can have ten days for decoration. Our building has not given anyone time to decorate before."

David's words made Bai Zirui believe that Jardine Matheson's position in Xiangjiang was very domineering. If it hadn't been for the rise of Chinese capital in recent years, they would not have provided this service.

After Bai Zirui and David discussed some precautions, he paid a deposit of 60,000 yuan, took the receipt issued by David, and said, "I'll sign the contract tomorrow."

He left Central and felt the tableware market in Mong Kok. This time the shop area was large, and the kitchen equipment also required large ovens and refrigerators.

When Uncle Wang, the manager of the tableware store, saw him coming, he said with a smile: Bai Sheng, do you need any help this time?"

Bai Zirui said: "Uncle Wang, I found a large store with an area of ​​580 square meters in Central. I came here this time to see the large equipment in the kitchen."

Uncle Wang raised his thumbs and praised: "Zirui, that's awesome! The third store is about to open in Central. Congratulations on getting rich. Let's go! I'll take you to the warehouse to see, there's no room for it in those large equipment stores."

After he finished speaking, he took Bai Zirui to the warehouse. Bai Zirui followed Uncle Wang to the warehouse. He saw that this warehouse occupies a large area. All the large equipment of the market is placed here. Trucks are constantly coming in and out to unload and load goods.

Busy.

Uncle Wang took him to the company's warehouse area and introduced: "This is the largest oven and refrigerator that our company can provide. These are the equipment used by the Peninsula Hotel. The best kitchenware is made in Germany - Futenbao."

Bai Zirui knew that this company was indeed a top kitchenware giant. He asked, "Uncle Wang, how much discount can I give for these equipments? I have basically purchased three sets. The demand will be greater and greater in the future."

Uncle Wang said: "Zi Rui, I have the authority to give you up to 20% off on these large brand-name kitchen equipment. Small equipment can be priced at the same price as before."

Bai Zirui quickly calculated the price based on the price list brought by Uncle Wang. Several sets of equipment cost up to 100,000 yuan, which was still within his acceptable range.

He and Uncle Wang agreed on the purchase of kitchen utensils and equipment, left the tableware market in Mong Kok, came to Liu Qiuli's agency, and told her about recruiting personnel. At least 100 people needed to be recruited this time.

In the evening, everyone returned to Chunxi Jingyuan after get off work. Bai Zirui told him about renting a shop and opening a new store in Central. Lou Xiao'e said in surprise: "Zirui, you are going to open a new store of 580 square meters in Central!"

Xu Jingli and He Yuzhu also had expressions of disbelief. It had only been ten days since the Hong Kong University branch opened, but they were opening a new store, a 580-square-meter store in Central. Calculating the time from the opening of the Causeway Bay store, it took less than a month.

It actually opened two new stores one after another.

Bai Zirui smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, the new store is under Yihe's building. The upper and lower floors require full rent. We only have 10 days to decorate."

Lou Xiaoe vowed: "No problem, after you design the decoration drawings, I will arrange for people from the decoration company to go there tomorrow and construct and decorate according to your design drawings, which will not delay your opening."

She was a little happy in her heart. The better their careers developed, the smaller the gap between her and He Yuzhu, and her parents could really accept He Yuzhu.

After washing up, Bai Zirui sat at his desk with pen and paper, drawing decoration design drawings based on photos or videos of large restaurants he had seen online in his previous life.

The kitchen design needs to be at least 100 square meters. The number of dine-in and take-out services per day is calculated based on 10,000 people. There should be six to eight cashiers and three bathrooms.

The first floor is decorated with scattered tables for casual guests, and a place for queuing is also designated. Half of the second floor is used for long sofas like Pizza Hut, where relatives, friends, colleagues, classmates, etc. can sit together and chat.

As Feast's largest flagship store in Xiangjiang, the recently launched Sundae can be designed with a separate operation room, which saves a lot of trouble without having to enter the store.

At the entrance of the first floor, three microwave ovens and boiling water can be placed like a 711, which can serve sanitation workers, patrol police, traffic police on duty, medical staff, taxi drivers, etc.

These specific groups of workers who have contributed to social stability and people's livelihood security are provided with priority rest seats, 24-hour free boiling water, and free microwave hot meals to provide some help. This is also Feast's future corporate culture, and we must serve the society more.

Bai Zirui combined the restaurant layouts of major catering giants he had seen in his previous life and combined them with the actual situation of Feast to start drawing the restaurant layout. He also had to make complex calculations. After working for more than an hour, he roughly drew the design draft and made various dimensions.

Mark the mark and make adjustments according to the specific situation during decoration construction.

The next day, Bai Zirui brought Chen Guiqing, the store manager from Causeway Bay, to Jardine House in Central. He first signed a lease contract with David and obtained the store key.

Chen Guiqing has many years of work experience in the service industry and has excellent leadership and organizational skills. Bai Zirui transferred her to Central as a store manager. Her original store manager position was taken over by Wen Lifen.

Most of Feast's future talent reserves will be promoted from within. The flagship store in Central is suitable for selecting outstanding employees and can be used as a talent training base.

After Bai Zirui signed the contract, he began to discuss in-depth cooperation with suppliers, including napkins, paper pads, packaging boxes, packaging bags, plastic cups, etc. The purchase volume increased and they were asked to provide greater discounts.

Dinner plates, napkins, pads, packing boxes, bags, plastic cups, etc. are also a good advertising platform. If you want to use color printing and print Feast's logo on them, it can have a great publicity effect.

Lou Xiaoe brought people from her decoration company to the store. She walked around the store and praised: "Zirui, this store you chose is really big!"

Bai Zirui smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, this is for sure, this store is two and a half times the size of the Causeway Bay store!"

After seeing the details of the store, the person in charge of the renovation said: "Mr. Lou, Bai Sheng, this store used to be a catering business. The water and electricity saved us a lot of trouble. It is relatively easy to renovate the kitchen.

It will take about six or seven days to renovate the upper and lower floors, and then install the equipment, tables, chairs, sofas, etc. Two days are enough, and the decoration can be completed in 10 days without delaying the opening of Baisheng's new store."
