The biggest problem is still the lack of manpower.
Currently, various construction companies are recruiting in large numbers, and they have even recruited quite a few people from the nearby shopping mall.
After all, with four campuses under construction simultaneously, the sheer scale of the project is far beyond what a small city like Makino could handle.
Moreover, according to government regulations, the maximum planned building height for this campus is five stories.
They can complete the construction of one floor in about half a month, and it will take a total of two and a half months, not including the expansion of the exterior walls and waterproofing.
In the foreman's words, all that's missing now is him going down to the field to mix the cement with him.
This wasn't a big problem for Lin Yifeng.
After a brief inspection in the morning, Lin Yifeng called Liu Shengxing at noon and asked him to help place an advertisement.
Such a massive project requires not only local workers but also a significant amount of labor from other regions.
We don't have enough people, but we can recruit as many as we can.
Lin Yifeng followed the others and continued to survey the area, finding that there were basically no major problems.
At noon, Lin Yifeng had lunch with the leaders of several campuses. After confirming that there would be no other problems here, he chose to return to Muye City.
Pang Donglai.
Donglai was entertaining Sun Lixin, who had come from Kyoto.
Just as the two were chatting at the door, Lin Yifeng parked his car at the back door and walked in.
As soon as he entered, Sun Lixin spotted Lin Yifeng.
"Yifeng!"
Lin Yifeng was slightly taken aback, but smiled when he saw Sun Lixin appear.
"Master Sun, what brings you to Muye?"
"Wasn't this supposed to be the responsibility of your apprentices?"
"Why would I trouble you, a master chef, to come all this way?"
Sun Lixin smiled and explained from the side.
"It's nothing. I was just on vacation and came out to have some fun. I just happened to be passing through Makino."
Upon hearing that Sun Lixin was there for tourism, Lin Yifeng instructed Donglai to treat Master Sun well.
After arriving at the office and chatting for a while, Sun Lixin's first words left Lin Yifeng speechless.
“One peak, coming from the east.”
"What do you think about opening a Bianyifang store in your Muye?"
Lin Yifeng and Donglai exchanged a glance.
Both of them knew that Sun Lixin's visit this time was definitely not simple, but they did not expect him to be so straightforward, actually wanting to open Bianyifang in Zhongzhou Province.
It's unheard of for a long-established Kyoto brand to open a shop in Nakashu.
Lin Yifeng was also a little surprised.
He never imagined that Bianyifang would also want to open chain stores across the country, just like Quanjude.
Sun Lixin watched the two of them nervously.
He wasn't very confident about the matter either.
Originally, Bianyifang had no intention of expanding outwards, but Lin Yifeng's actions made Bianyifang realize the vast domestic market.
With the substantial profits during the Lunar New Year period, Liu Wei and Sun Lixin thought it over and decided to discuss with Lin Yifeng the possibility of opening a Bianyifang restaurant in Zhongzhou.
Sun Lixin sized up the two men, wanting to hear their opinions.
Donglai frowned slightly. He glanced at Lin Yifeng first, and seeing Lin Yifeng nod, he explained from the side.
"Master Sun, we don't mean to discourage you."
"But the prices at Bianyifang are a bit excessive in our Zhongzhou Province."
"It's not easy for me to say on that."
The meaning of "东来" is very clear.
Bianyifang, Bianyifang.
Although it's called Bianyifang (meaning cheap), the prices inside are anything but cheap.
In Kyoto, this price is acceptable to most locals, but in Makino, Bianyifang is a high-end restaurant. Sun Lixin and his team might not even be able to recoup their costs after two years of operation.
Sun Lixin had considered this point, and he explained from the side.
"I'm not going to open a shop in Makino."
"How's it going in Shangdu?"
Do you think this is a good idea?
Donglai shook his head with a wry smile and explained again.
"Master Sun, the cost of living in Shangdu isn't that high."
"It's only slightly higher than our Makino City."
"Driving there is only slightly better than here; the actual situation is still the same."
These words left Sun Lixin completely baffled.
They really want to expand, but outside of Kyoto, they simply can't find a suitable environment to open a shop.
Lin Yifeng could certainly guess what Sun Lixin and the others were thinking. Seeing Sun Lixin so troubled, he offered him some advice.
"Shanghai!"
“Master Sun, if you really want to open a shop.”
"Why don't you take a look at the market in Shanghai?"
Sun Lixin was taken aback.
They had considered the Shanghai option, but the main concern was that the local cuisine tended to be milder, and he was worried that it wouldn't suit their tastes.
Sun Lixin hesitated for a moment, just about to explain their concerns, when he heard Lin Yifeng speak again.
Don't worry about the taste.
"It mainly comes down to the price and the renovation."
"You double the price, your attitude is worse, and you serve like a Western restaurant, using knives and forks."
"The manager in your store isn't called a manager, they're called the 'owner'!"
"Open for limited hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; open by appointment on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; auctions are open on Sundays!"
"I'm not talking about anything else, just this place, Shanghai."
"I guarantee you'll make money!"
These words completely blew Sun Lixin and Donglai's minds.
