Su Yan said solemnly, "I want to open a restaurant."

There was a moment of silence.

After a long silence, Feng Caixia finally spoke: "Su Yan, are you serious?"

Su Yan nodded seriously, "I'm serious, but I want to open it in Guangzhou."

"I don't know much about Guangzhou, but I have some experience managing restaurants over the years and I want to tell you that running a restaurant is not an easy task, especially you have to be prepared for no business. Another thing is that you have to be very careful in terms of personnel. If you hire people with bad intentions, it will be a huge hidden danger for the restaurant."

Feng Caixia finished speaking slowly and deliberately, then smiled and said, "Of course, if you have such an idea, I, as your friend, will definitely support you."

Su Yan gave him a mysterious smile, didn't reply, and turned her gaze to Tang Li, who was listening attentively, and asked, "Uncle Tang, is there anything you want to say?"

When Tang Li saw her smile, he felt a sense of relief and enlightenment.

"You must have been thinking about opening a restaurant for a long time, right? Why don't you tell me your ideas first, and then I'll give my opinion?" he said.

Su Yan nodded, then took out a drawing from her bag and showed it to him before passing it on.

Tang Li took it and began to read it carefully.

The blueprints had something on both sides, not only patterns but also densely packed text, all of which were Su Yan's plans for opening a restaurant.

Su Yan explained calmly: "First of all, why did I choose Guangzhou to open the restaurant? First of all, Guangzhou has a developed economy, and I studied there for four years. It will be convenient for me to manage the restaurant there and take care of it often."

Secondly, I've decided on two menu items for the restaurant, and it must have three floors: the first floor for tea and snacks, the second floor for main courses, and the third floor for private rooms. Therefore, the restaurant must be large enough.

At this point, she stopped talking and turned her gaze to Tang Li and Feng Caixia.

The reason she chose to bring this up at this time was precisely because both of them were present, so she didn't need to pick another time to invite them out.

Huo Qianli and Zou Jialun stood in the background, quietly eating their food, because they had no experience to share with Su Yan, but that didn't stop them from listening intently to the drama unfold.

Hearing this, Feng Caixia realized something was amiss and couldn't help but laugh, "So you're trying to use this dinner to attract investment? I thought you were just treating us to a meal."

"Today is a dinner party with friends, I'm just treating you guys to a meal," Su Yan said matter-of-factly. "Since we're all good friends, I'll definitely discuss things with you guys. Do you think I'd go looking for investments from strangers? We should share the profits together."

Of course, Feng Caixia was just joking.

She wasn't initially interested in Su Yan's idea of ​​opening a restaurant, but after seeing the blueprints and hearing her explanation, she was really tempted.

After all, Su Yan's ideas were novel, and her way of managing the restaurant was different from what she knew, which aroused her interest.

Tang Li thought for a moment and asked, "I have a question I'm not sure about: do you think there's a 50% chance of success in opening this restaurant?"

Su Yan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and looked at him speechlessly, "Uncle Tang, you underestimate me too much. If I couldn't even open a restaurant, I wouldn't dare to talk to you about this today."

She could understand Tang Li's concerns.

In Tang Li's eyes, she was a little clever, but after all, she was just an 18-year-old naive girl. Besides, opening a restaurant required a lot of investment, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to dawdle like this.

However, to his surprise, Su Yan invited him to do business together, starting with something big, which really caught him off guard.

"How about this, if you're both interested, I'll act as guarantor. If the restaurant doesn't recoup its investment within two months of opening, I'll personally pay you back all the money you invested."

"no!"

Before she could finish speaking, Feng Caixia angrily and loudly refused to do it.

Feng Caixia glared at her angrily, "What do you take me for? Is this how you make friends? Doing business is inherently risky. If I really let you bear the risks alone, I'll never be able to face you again."

Tang Li also disagreed and said to Su Yan, "Manager Feng is right. Since you chose to get us to invest, it must be out of trust. Whether it's good or bad, we'll share the burden. If we really lose money, it won't leave me destitute."

He was indeed worried about whether Su Yan was capable of running a restaurant well, but then he thought about it again.

With him and Feng Caixia around, what is there to be afraid of?

In particular, Feng Caixia had been a restaurant manager for more than ten years.

Furthermore, since meeting Su Yan, she has not missed a single step in serious matters, which is enough to show that although this young girl is young, her ability is enough to match her ambition.

Su Yan felt a lump in her throat, and the two men's attitudes only strengthened her resolve to run the restaurant well.

"My requirements for the restaurant are not high. My ultimate goal is to become the number one restaurant in the country," she said with great determination.

The claim of being "number one in the country" left the two investors speechless.

Both Zou Jialun and Huo Qianli felt a little sad.

Being number one in the country is no easy feat.

Next, we'll discuss the initial investment amount and share allocation.

"If I can find a suitable restaurant, I'd like to buy it directly," Su Yan dropped another bombshell.

Four people: What?!

"Yan girl, you're not kidding me, are you?" Feng Caixia's smile vanished.

If she were to buy the restaurant in Lanzhou, she might... barely accept it.

But that's Guangzhou!

The capital of a southern province!

A developed economy also means high prices for all kinds of goods.

“The restaurant is so big, even if Manager Feng and I put all our money together, we probably wouldn’t even have 200,000. If all the money is spent on buying the restaurant, nothing else will be able to proceed. Oh no, we probably can’t even afford the restaurant for 200,000.” Tang Li pointed out the obvious.

Su Yan coughed lightly, "This isn't certain, let's put it aside for now. First, tell me how much money you can come up with."

Feng Caixia raised her hand and said weakly, "I only have 120,000 yuan in my entire fortune. After deducting 20,000 yuan for family expenses and emergencies, I can use the remaining 100,000 yuan for investment."

"Sister Caixia, don't you need to discuss taking so much with your husband?"

She had never asked about Feng Caixia's family situation before.

Feng Caixia shrugged and said casually, "I got divorced ten years ago and have been raising my son on my own. I'm the head of the household."

The 1980s? Divorce?

"As expected of Sister Caixia, a true warrior!" Su Yan gave her a thumbs up.

For people of this generation, divorce is a niche term.

Sister Caixia is a true warrior for taking this step on her own.
