Ye Xiaozhen smiled and said nothing.
The first day's business was booming for sure.
"I don't know if the stools we prepared are enough."
Ye Xiaozhen said: "It's good enough if the line can fill the door, so that people can see how many people are waiting to eat."
"Yes."
Everyone is ready, food supply issues have been resolved, and we are just waiting to open.
Do the cleaning again today, and the chefs will have to go to the market tomorrow.
Of the chefs we hired last time, except for two who were not very competent and were fired, all the others have been successful.
Starting tomorrow, they will have to prepare the ingredients first, and some dishes need to be arranged one day in advance.
We ate in the restaurant and tried the cooking skills of the chef.
After dinner, Ye Xiaozhen explained to her family that the business would be quite busy after the opening.
Most people who have run a hotel business understand this rule. Generally, a hotel is busiest when it first opens, and you just need to get through that period.
Ye Xiaozhen also assured them that their hard work in the first month of opening would not be in vain, and they would be given a certain amount of bonus based on their performance and the store's sales, which might even exceed their monthly salary.
To reach this number, I think it is worth the hard work.
People of this era are the most able to endure hardships, especially those who go out to find work are not afraid of hardship.
As long as they are paid, they are willing to work harder.
When Ye Xiaozhen returned home at night, she heard the front desk say that a gay man named Xie from Lincheng called her.
Ye Xiaozhen had no choice but to call Xie Linan back.
"Hey, what's up?"
She had been busy in the hotel all day, arranging every detail in detail to avoid any mistakes when opening.
"Why do you look like you don't want to talk more?"
Ye Xiaozhen: “…”
"I've been busy all day, and I'll be busy again tomorrow. I want to rest early."
"Oh, did you tell my sister about their house being demolished?"
Ye Xiaozhen: “…”
"Oops, I forgot."
Xie Linan: “…”
"Didn't you say that it would be done by now? There's no need to rush in the next few days. I'm very busy now anyway, and she can't go back."
"Alas!" Xie Linan sighed and said, "I feel that you are too focused on your career and I am being ignored."
"You don't understand this, right? Take advantage of all the opportunities now and build your empire as soon as possible. When everything is on the right track, we can just sit back and relax. We can hire a professional manager to help manage the business and collect the money. If you are still ambitious, expand into other industries and you can make more money than you can imagine."
"Why do you know so much?"
"I do dream. You see, my dreams are very real."
Tsk, tsk, I'm dreaming.
"Do you think I really believe it?"
"If you don't believe me, then what do you think is going on?"
Xie Linan was silent for a while before he said, "I don't know now, but I will know in the future."
Ye Xiaozhen smiled faintly and said nothing.
"Hey, don't laugh, don't you believe me?"
"Xin, you have to wait until you know it. Tell me quickly, what's the matter?"
"Your brother is coming down. When will you be back?"
"In a few days, I'll open the store in two days. Didn't I tell you?"
"놆놆, how many days after the opening will you come back?"
"About...seven days?"
"Seven days? So long? Then you were gone for ten days?"
"That's about right."
Xie Linan remained silent for a long time; he felt it had been too long.
"I'll come to see you in a couple of days. The kids are on holiday now, so I'll take them with me."
"Forget it. How many children are you going to take care of? And if you take the children away, what will happen to grandpa and your brother? At least we can celebrate the holiday."
"So you're spending the holiday alone?"
"It doesn't matter to me, but the elderly are different from us. We still have plenty of time, but for the elderly, every festival they celebrate is one less."
The two chatted idly for a while before Ye Xiaozhen comforted him.
The next day was even busier as we had to make arrangements for the opening.
During the lunch break, Ye Xiaozhen had some free time and told her about the demolition of their old home.
"Demolition, when?"
"Just go back and sign before you leave."
"Oh, don't worry, let's wait until the store is settled."
"Oh, I heard there are two options: one for money and one for house and land. Do you want a house and land or money?"
"If you want a house, where will it be arranged?"
Ye Xiaozhen shook her head. "I don't know. I heard that each village is assigned a different location. I don't know where your village is."
"We'll see when the time comes. If you want to arrange a good place for our village, we'll need a house and land. Otherwise, I'll just take the money if it's a place where no one lives."
"The place shouldn't be bad. If you are asked to move out of the mountains and the place they arrange for you is bad, they won't be happy and it won't work out."
"That's right."
This January 1st, the new pedestrian street opened.
They stood on the second floor and saw that the streets were packed early in the morning.
Looking down from the second floor, it was full of people, not exaggerated at all.
At 9:30, their shop started taking numbers and opened on time at 10:00. Soon the upstairs and downstairs were filled with people.
There were still many people waiting downstairs with their number plates.
Ye Xiaozhen specially found a waiter with a loud voice to shout out numbers with a loudspeaker, and their Qianlixiang Hotel became the most popular restaurant in a short time.
Xie Li looked around and then happily returned to an unoccupied office on the second floor.
"Xiaozhen, look at the situation now. Our hotel is very popular. It will be famous in the whole Haicheng in the future."
As expected.
Because the flavors of hotels at that time were monotonous and the cooking methods were not as diverse as in the future, her hotel was indeed far superior to its peers.
"Once this store is stable, we will start opening branches. Before 2,000, everyone in Haicheng will know our name."
Xie Li nodded vigorously, and then asked curiously: "Xiao Zhen, why do we have to register Qilixiang, Shilixiang, and Qianlixiang?"
"To prevent people from hitting you."
Xie Li: “…” That’s it?
"Qilixiang is a small steamed bun shop and a small restaurant, which means it is small in scale. You only need to pay a very small price to join. Shilixiang is a medium-sized store, and Qianlixiang is a high-end store, such as our store. There is only one in Lincheng, and there will be no more than one in Haicheng in the future."
"Will our venue be too crowded?"
"Since we are determined to build a brand, we must also be determined to be the best in the industry. And we can't just harvest a certain group of customers, right? We need to harvest consumers from all levels."
Xie Li nodded. "You are smart and brave. If I were to do this on my own, I wouldn't even dare to think about it. I would open one restaurant at most and cook by myself. I wouldn't dare to open too many restaurants because I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
