Su Yan thought that if Yan Jun and his gang really set up an entertainment city, she would invest in it, but if they just set up a big hotel, she would forget about it.

"Second Master Yan, how big of a hotel do you plan to build? How many of those shops on South Street do you plan to demolish?"

"We'll see about that later. I came here today to ask for your opinion. Whether it's an entertainment city or a large hotel, how much money can you invest?"

It turned out that they wanted to find out how much money they could invest. Su Yan was unable to estimate the total cost of building an entertainment city for the time being, nor did she know how many shares this severe situation would produce.

She asked Chen Jing and Qin Peiran, "Mr. Chen and Mr. Qin, how much money do you two plan to invest?"

Chen Jing smiled and said, "Although I'm not as good at making money as Boss Su and Peiran, I still have a few hundred thousand."

This Chen Jing not only runs a factory, but also participates in all kinds of money-making activities. Su Yan doesn't believe that he only has tens of thousands of dollars in his hands. After all, he is a child of a wealthy family.

Qin Peiran said, "I'll invest as much as Xiao Junjun needs me to."

Su Yan could tell at first glance that Qin Peiran was not short of money. After all, he had seen the prosperity of foreign countries since he came back from abroad. The Qin family's assets must be more than the Yan family's, but their connections must be a little worse.

Su Yan asked Yan Jun, "How much do you want the three of us to invest?"

"300,000 each, Boss Su and Peiran each contribute 15%, Chen Jing 20%, and I'll invest 600,000 myself, plus my own shop, which will take up 50%. What do you think?"

"Build a hotel or an entertainment city?"

"Entertainment City!"

Su Yan asked again: "What if 1.5 million is not enough? Do we need to make additional investments?"

"No, we can go to the bank to get a loan in the name of the company."

If he asked his partners for more money, they would definitely have objections to the share division. It was not that he could not come up with more money. Since they were a partnership, the remaining money could be borrowed from the bank in the name of the company. Qin Peiran was a returned overseas Chinese, so it should not be difficult to get a loan.

Su Yan also knew that Yan Xi could earn several million a year in Gangcheng. The Yan family had two large docks in the mainland and also had cargo ships. How could Yan Jun be short of money?

He was looking for someone to invest, but he needed help from others in some areas, such as Chen Jing's connections. Qin Peiran was a returned overseas Chinese, so it was easier to ask him to cooperate with him. As for finding Su Yan to cooperate with him, one reason was that she was straightforward and smart, and the other was probably because of the hard power behind her.

After all, Su Yan's father-in-law and husband are both military officers, and her brothers-in-law are said to be doing well. Su Yan's eldest brother works in the Ministry of Commerce and is said to be the son-in-law of a senior leader.

Even if she is not needed to do anything for the time being, a partner with such a strong background and money is naturally what she wants.

Su Yan thought this plan was okay, but the specific matters could not be negotiated in one go. The group talked for nearly two hours before disbanding.

A month later, Lu Ting rushed back at noon. Su Yan thought something had happened, and after lunch, Lu Ting pulled her out.

"Yan Yan, I'll take you to see a shop. It has two floors, and a total area of ​​over 300 square meters."

"Which street?"

"Chang'an Avenue."

Hearing it was Chang'an Avenue, Su Yan naturally wanted to go and see it in person. After getting in the car, Lu Ting said to Su Yan, "The location is good, and the shop is a good size. It's just a bit expensive. It's only a little over 300 square meters and costs 180,000."

A shop is not a residence, so the price is naturally relatively expensive. Moreover, how can it be cheap when it is a popular shop?

"Why would the owner be willing to sell the shop in such a good location?"

"I heard the owner wanted to open a food processing factory in partnership with someone else. Since the house couldn't be sold, he had no choice but to take back the shop and sell it."

"I see. Can the price be a little lower?"

"I think a few hundred less is still okay, but too much probably won't do."

Su Yan and Lu Ting went to see the house. This two-story shop was previously rented to a relative who sold snacks for two years. The first floor was a shop and the second floor was a warehouse.

The location is indeed very good, not far from Wangfujing Street, with a large flow of people, so it is easy to do any business.

Lu Ting came forward to bargain with the homeowner, and finally got another thousand yuan less because they needed money urgently for the house. After the deal was agreed, Su Yan took the money and went with them to trade the next day.

After buying the shop, Su Yan did not rush to decorate it, but instead drew a plan for the space. She planned to open a hot pot restaurant, so the layout of the shop would definitely need to be changed.

The size of the lobby, the size of the private rooms, the kitchen and the cashier area, etc., all need to be planned.

She discussed her sketches and plans with Lu Ting first. If Lu Ting thought it was okay, he would find a construction team to do the decoration, and Su Yan would go to the furniture factory to order tables, chairs and counters.

Hotpot restaurant waiters and food preparation staff can be recruited later, but chefs must be found in advance, and if they are found, they can be hired as private chefs to help out now.

Of course, she may also select a chef from her private kitchen to be the head chef of the hot pot restaurant, and then bring two new chefs with her.

The chef in a hot pot restaurant must have good knife skills, be able to stir-fry hot pot ingredients, and make hot pot soup base.

In later generations, these things are sold ready-made. You just need to find some side dish chefs to work in the kitchen. But this is not possible in this era. You have to make everything yourself, including beef bone soup, mutton offal soup, chicken soup...you have to cook all of these yourself.

Su Yan has been busy with the hot pot restaurant in the past few months, and Lu Ting has also helped a lot. When she has time, she will go to the countryside to take a look. When Yan Jun and Chen Jing make money from frying orchids, they will also come to Su Yan to buy goods.

Many people learned that Su Yan had set up a flower garden in the countryside, and they all came to Su Yan to buy flowers. Some wanted to make money by speculating on orchids, and some did it purely for personal interest.

Su Yan doesn’t care whether you buy more or less, the wholesale and retail prices are definitely different.

Orchids are selling very well, and peonies are also selling very well in April and May. Rose plants are not selling so well because they think that cutting some branches to make fiber grafting is not worth that much money.
