After the new product promotion of king crab ended, fewer people bought king crabs.
But on average, we can sell 5 a day.
89 each, that’s 440 bucks a day.
But in this way, the more than 4,000 king crabs caught this time can be sold for three or four years.
So Qiao Qingqing followed the original plan and set the target of the second fishing trip to other precious seafood.
Based on the understanding of the habits of various marine life, Qiao Qingqing planned a new route with more than a dozen stops along the way. The operating methods and fishing targets were different at different locations.
Some people place shrimp cages in shallow and deep sea areas to catch lobsters, while others collect geoducks at fixed points on the sandy ground in the inner bay.
The attraction of the Liling Spring water can attract a large amount of marine life.
The only drawback is that it consumes manpower.
So when she started recruiting crew members, Qiao Qingqing looked for those who were particularly good at swimming.
The duration of this voyage is three months.
After the fishing boat left the harbor, Qiao Qingqing had already begun preparations for the opening of the new store.
The renovation of the new store is nearing completion.
Qiao Qingqing has already hired a chef. In the past few days, she has generously contributed various seafood to the chef to experiment with the dishes.
The people of the Lu family also enjoyed a feast.
Half a month later, the menu of the new store was officially finalized.
The price of each dish is also determined based on everyone's opinions.
Another ten days of warm-up and publicity passed.
Finally, on an auspicious day, Qiao Qingqing's second store, which was also the first seafood restaurant in Beijing, opened.
——Originally, Qiao Qingqing wanted to open a seafood restaurant, but everyone felt that this positioning was not high-end enough.
But if it is positioned as a seafood restaurant, it will be different.
People who come here are here to eat. If they don’t want to eat, those who just want to check the prices of seafood will not come in.
This will ensure a quiet environment.
Qiao Qingqing thought so too, since she already had a seafood store.
On the opening day, the number of people who came exceeded Qiao Qingqing's expectations.
Obviously, even though Lu Heng and his father-in-law Lu Zhenfeng did not deliberately publicize for her, how could such a big move be hidden from the people above in Kyoto?
What she did was legal and compliant, so naturally no one would make things difficult for her.
Some people come to support the business on the opening day out of the desire to try something new, or perhaps to do Lu Heng a favor.
For a time, "Qiao Nianqing Seafood Restaurant" was flooded with customers.
At the end of the day, we received forty tables of guests and had a revenue of more than two thousand!
Some people come to eat more, some order less, some order more expensive, some order less expensive.
On average, a table costs about ten yuan.
If it were in later times, the business that started right after opening might be the best.
But in this era, that’s not necessarily the case.
Take the seafood store for example, after the opening event, an average of 100 king crabs were sold per day.
As a result, after the college entrance examination results came out, the king crab business reached its peak, with the highest number of king crabs sold in one day being 32!
This at least shows that thirty-two families generously bought expensive food ingredients to reward their children in order to celebrate their children's good grades in the exam.
Gradually, people will form the habit of eating king crabs to celebrate happy events and festivals.
By that time, the sales volume of king crabs will also increase until another fashionable product appears on the market to replace it.
So this is an era of making money. As long as you dare to think and act, you can make money.
The person who is the first to try something new in every industry is the one who is most likely to make a fortune.
After the opening phase is over, you can tell whether the chef's skills are recognized by diners by looking at how many first-time customers there are.
Therefore, after the opening ceremony, the chef was more nervous than Qiao Qingqing.
The opening event lasted for half a month, which was enough time to spread the reputation.
However, after the event is over, the prices return to original prices, and those who are still willing to come are those who are truly satisfied with the chef's cooking skills, restaurant environment and service.
In fact, at the beginning, no one understood why Qiao Qingqing insisted on having a food discount event when the restaurant opened.
Qiao Qingqing did not explain further. Some things are hard to explain and need to be tested through actual operations.
She wanted to expand the restaurant, so it naturally couldn't be like the current restaurants, which were stagnant.
Since it is positioned as a high-end restaurant, as long as the environment, dishes and services are satisfactory, the hotel's target customers will still come in the future and will not stop coming just because there are no discounts.
In addition, she will continue to offer discounts during the opening period and during festivals.
After a while, it becomes a routine and people will flock to it during festivals.
She doesn't worry that people will wait for holidays to visit.
High-end restaurants do not target ordinary people who want to dine out occasionally.
Instead, it is aimed at those who need to conduct business and political activities.
People like this won't wait for holidays when asking others to do things for them.
What's more, there are so many people during holidays that people have to avoid such peak periods.
However, what surprised Qiao Qingqing was...
After returning to the original price, the restaurant's business was not affected at all!
There are still so many people coming to eat every day.
It’s worthy of being the capital!
However, it may also be that the business was too booming earlier and many people were unable to come in and try it.
After all, a seafood restaurant operates in a model where you order the seafood on site and have the chef prepare it on the spot.
This is very avant-garde at the moment.
More importantly, at present, apart from Qiao Qingqing, no one in Kyoto can provide fresh seafood...
Various "unique" conditions contributed to the prosperity of her business.
Three months later, the fishing boat returned, bringing Qiao Qingqing more than 200 lobsters, more than 80 geoducks, and a boat full of shrimps, crabs, fish, clams, and crabs...
This is also what Qiao Qingqing meant.
The primary mission of this voyage was to catch lobsters and geoducks, and the secondary mission was to fill the cabin and bring her all kinds of seafood.
The seafood on this ship is enough for Qiao Qingqing to go for months without having to restock.
Compared with her previous life, Qiao Qingqing's starting point in this life is higher and her speed of advancement is faster.
From the early days of reform and opening up in the 1980s to the 2000s, the country developed rapidly, and Qiao Qingqing did not waste a single moment.
At first, Qiao Qingqing just opened a seafood restaurant in Kyoto.
Later, it gradually expanded and there was a "Qiao Nianqing Seafood Restaurant" in every major first-tier city across the country.
She also started as a self-employed person and became the chairman of a national chain company, and later rang the bell to go public in New York...
