Chapter 4

The greater a person's determination, the more thorough his change will be!

Guan Ziying may not believe what Song Zhehao said, but she cannot ignore Song Zhehao's efforts. When Song Zhehao bought the game account, she knew that Song Zhehao was going to say goodbye to the past.

Guan Ziying also followed Song Zhehao's advice, quit her job as a courier, and started working in a cake shop wholeheartedly.

Guan Ziying was also a little worried. She knew that Song Zhehao had been staying at home for several years, and suddenly he had to look for a job. I'm afraid he would find it difficult to adapt for a while.

Regarding Guan Ziying's concerns, Song Zhehao seemed very cheerful. He said that the game account was sold for 120,000 yuan, and he has spent 20,000 yuan now. The remaining 100,000 yuan is enough to start a business.

Song Zhehao told Guan Ziying not to worry, saying that even if he lost all the money, he could open a small restaurant and rely on his cooking skills to support Guan Ziying.

Seeing how ambitious he was, Guan Ziying didn't worry at all about his business failure. She said, "Since you have made up your mind, just go for it!"

Guan Ziying thought that starting a business involves risks, and the 100,000 yuan might be wasted, but using it to awaken Song Zhehao's fighting spirit was also a good deal.

Guan Ziying had this idea, but she had no idea that there was no risk involved when Song Zhehao wanted to start a business.

Song Zhehao knew very well that for him and Guan Ziying, the most urgent issue that needed to be resolved at the moment was their difficult financial situation.

The two have been renting a house since they started living together. The original owner's parents are just ordinary workers and cannot support them much. The original owner has never worked and relies entirely on Guan Ziying to earn money to supplement the family expenses.

The house they rented was an old building in a former factory. Rats were running around in the dark corridors, the heating leaked in the winter, and it was scorching hot in the summer. The only car they had so far was the broken bicycle lying idle in the basement. As for food and clothing, every time the family bought groceries, they would pick the leftovers from the vegetable market. The original owner was happy as long as she had enough to eat. As for clothing, the original owner treated herself very well. Only Guan Ziying was left. She only wore two sets of clothes all year round. Her deep inferiority complex had prevented her from attending any parties for several years.

If we want to change this situation, it will be difficult to see any positive changes if Song Zhehao just relies on working to earn money.

Fortunately, Song Zhehao has been in business for dozens of lifetimes, and he has always been sure of making money through investment.

What's more, he can interpret future plots and predict in advance what to do to make more money in the future!

Song Zhehao referred to the future plot and also thought about how to maximize the profit with a capital of 100,000 yuan?

Song Zhehao thought about it. One hundred thousand yuan might be a considerable sum of money for ordinary people, but if it is used as investment capital, it seems insignificant.

When Song Zhehao traveled through time in the past, he came from a chaebol family, so he was involved in large-scale events that cost tens of billions of dollars, so he didn't have to worry about funds at all.

The best way to invest this 100,000 yuan is to use it to rent a store.

Song Zhehao inquired and found out that in Xihai City where he lived, a house in a slightly prosperous area would cost at least 150,000 yuan, and that did not include miscellaneous expenses such as decoration.

Therefore, Song Zhehao gave up the idea of ​​opening a store in a busy area.

Finally, Song Zhehao set his sights on the old area where he lived.

There used to be a large steel plant here. Later, due to environmental reasons, the steel plant moved away and the employees also left. Only the factory building remained.

This area has not been properly planned. The original factory building is dilapidated and only a few elderly people live there.

Of course, the cheap rent also attracted a group of low-income groups like Song Zhehao to move in.

Song Zhehao wanted to open a store here because he was attracted by this group of people.

Song Zhehao knew that to outsiders, there were not many people here, so few people opened a shop here.

These young people who rent here basically work during the day and only come back at night, so they rarely drive consumption here.

If it is a holiday, I will naturally run to the bustling city.

However, precisely because of this, if you open a suitable store, you will be able to make money without any pressure because you will not have many competitors.

Song Zhehao wants to open a breakfast shop. Most of the young people living here have very meager incomes, so they seldom eat out and mostly cook at home.

Although they don't often eat dinner out, due to the tight schedule in the morning and the distance from the city center, they don't have time to cook in the morning. By the time they get to the company by bus, they're probably already at work.

If you use the ten minutes or so while waiting for the bus to eat faster, you won’t go hungry.

There is no breakfast shop nearby. There are only two breakfast vendors, and they are not very active. The food tastes terrible.

Song Zhehao knew that there were two or three shops next to the busiest station in the area, but they were closed all year round and no one rented them.

Song Zhehao happened to have those two rooms, and he believed that as long as he spent less than 10,000 yuan, he would be able to rent them successfully.

In this way, the rent is reduced by more than half, and the remaining money can be used for decoration and purchasing various appliances, which I believe will become easy.

As for whether there is anyone coming to patronize?

Humph, Song Zhehao is very confident in his craftsmanship, so repeat customers are not a problem.

After making up his mind, Song Zhehao took action immediately.

The process went more smoothly than he had imagined. Song Zhehao rented the three shops for only 8,000 yuan, and the landlords were very grateful.

As for the renovation, Song Zhehao spent 50,000 yuan in one go because the store had been abandoned for too long and looked too shabby.

Song Zhehao knew very well that when it comes to a place to eat, the first thing to look at is the chef’s skills; the second is the decoration of the store and the interior.

A place that makes people feel comfortable will naturally whet their appetite...

As for the rest of the tools, Song Zhehao only spent less than 30,000 yuan to complete them.

Everything was ready, and Song Zhehao chose an auspicious day to open his breakfast shop.

The new store was fully equipped, and the storefront that Song Zhehao had spent a lot of money to renovate was immediately put to good use!

As you walk down that street, you'll see that all the storefronts and walls are gray-black and earthy red, looking lifeless. Add to that the age and lack of repairs, and you'll look even more dilapidated!

Only Song Zhehao's door front is made of bright lemon yellow tiles, with a bright and smooth appearance. The middle room has floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and there are floor-to-ceiling glass windows on both sides.

Those glasses are all made of tempered glass. The clean appearance makes people feel comfortable, and the decoration inside the breakfast shop is clearly visible.

Inside the breakfast shop, the walls are gray-brown wood-clad, which looks elegant and upscale. The dining tables are all light brown solid wood tables, and there are two rows of open sofas on both sides, which are comfortable and not bulky.

Because the store uses mostly dark-toned decorations, the floor tiles are white so that the entire store does not look too dim.

Moreover, the choice of white floor tiles is an important criterion for testing whether a restaurant is clean or not. When customers see the clean floor tiles, they will naturally feel reassured about the hygiene conditions.

The breakfast shop's kitchen, from the stove to all the kitchen utensils, is made entirely of stainless steel, shining with metallic color, making it appear more textured.

Moreover, in places like the kitchen where dirt and grime are easily hidden, it is easy to clean the grease if all the products are made of stainless steel.

Originally, Song Zhehao wanted Guan Ziying to quit her job and work in the store together, but Guan Ziying was a little worried.

Guan Ziying hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Song Zhehao, "How about we separate? I won't resign yet. After all, your store is new, and everything is difficult at the beginning. We may not make any money at first. If I resign blindly and the store doesn't make any money, how will we cover our expenses?"

Song Zhehao dared to say this because he had naturally considered all these things. He was very confident that it was impossible for him to lose money. After all, he had opened a similar store when he traveled through time before, so he had a good idea in his mind.

However, Guan Ziying didn't know this, so her worries were understandable.

Song Zhehao thought, why not just do as Guan Ziying said. He wanted to make the business prosperous. Once he really made money and the breakfast shop saw its future, it wouldn't be too late for Guan Ziying to become the boss lady who collected the money!

Now?

I definitely can’t handle it all by myself, I have to hire a waiter.

Song Zhehao posted the recruitment notice on the recruitment platform "Wujiu Tongcheng". Not long after, one person after another came to apply for the job.

These days, it is hard to find a job, especially for college graduates, many of whom face the problem of being unemployed right after graduation.

Several applicants came, but Song Zhehao was not satisfied with any of them. Just as he was working in the store, the door was pushed open and a young and energetic voice called out, "Excuse me, are you hiring here?"

Song Zhehao looked up in the kitchen. The first time he saw the man, his mind was made up - this was the man!

The man is called Qiu Yuan. He just graduated from university this year. He gave up his stable job and wanted to start his own business.

After hearing about his experience, Song Zhehao asked, "Do you think my small shop can create this kind of opportunity for you?"

Qiu Yuan was handsome and youthful. Although he was already twenty years old, his face still carried the youthfulness of a teenager. His youthful face was shimmering with a shrewd smile as he said, "I knew from afar when I saw your shop door. Boss, you're a thoughtful person. I can't go wrong following you!"

Song Zhehao smiled and said, "You have good taste! Congratulations on being accepted by our store!"

After hearing this, Qiu Yuan asked excitedly, "No way! Boss, you haven't even looked at my information or asked about my situation?"

Song Zhehao said: "No need! I believe I won't make a mistake!"

Song Zhehao said this not because of the other party's compliment, but because he said this.

From the moment Qiu Yuan walked in, Song Zhehao sensed a sense of affinity from him, the kind that made him feel familiar without words, just by looking at him.

This kind of affinity can attract customers. In addition, Qiu Yuan is not very old and is only a few years older than herself, so the two of them have common language when chatting.

Besides, Qiu Yuan is also good-looking. With two handsome guys sitting together, it’s quite a sight to behold!

As soon as Song Zhehao said this, Qiu Yuan's admiration grew even more.

Although neither of them can be considered successful and cannot show each other any results, their vision of each other is correct. They can tell at a glance that the other can definitely do it!

This vision must be correct!

Song Zhehao’s breakfast shop opened on an auspicious day!
