Lian Xiaomin looked around and said, "Uncle Tan, I think it's really not easy for your restaurant to survive on this street in Yau Ma Tei. This store is not big anyway, so why not open it?"
Tan Yushan sighed, "Yes, my cooking skills are pretty good. I used to be a chef in a famous restaurant in Guangzhou."
"…Business was OK, but this time, my wife had to have surgery, so I couldn't pay the protection fee this month."
"…This street is the territory of the Number Gang. There's nothing we can do about it. If you don't move the tree, it will die. If you move the person, he will live. Forget it."
Indeed, this street belongs to 13K, not Xin Yian. Lian Xiaomin would not go out in broad daylight to deal with a gang just because of a small restaurant and cause a bigger conflict.
She wanted to win over Luo Wen and help his family in other ways.
"I have a few shops for rent in Causeway Bay. Why don't you come with me to look over there and open a new one?"
"These things are all smashed, forget about them for now, let's take the important things and leave here first."
I guess Brother Qiang and his gang will definitely come back for revenge.
Although he was not afraid of them, Uncle Tan's family were ordinary people after all. If they had a deep feud with these desperadoes, it would be a trouble in the future.
It’s better to leave here first. There will be plenty of opportunities later to quietly deal with that Chen Daqiang.
When the father and his two sons heard this, they had no other choice but to nod in agreement. They hurried in to quickly grab the most important things and left the restaurant.
The neighbor next door was an ice cream parlor. The owner, Mrs. Zhang, came out, shook her head and sighed: "Uncle Tan, please leave!"
"Mrs. Zhang, if you see Mr. Li, the landlord of the shop, please tell him that I can't do this any more. I'll pay him back in advance before the due date."
"Okay, I get it, be careful!"
…
Lian Xiaomin's car was parked nearby. Everyone got in the car and she drove directly to Causeway Bay.
A few days ago, I just bought 18 newly developed shops in Causeway Bay from HSBC, so I parked my car directly at 318 Gloucester Road.
Fortunately, a key was left in the space and not all of them were given to William.
He found the key, opened the door, and led the three people in.
Uncle Tan was stunned. Isn’t this store too good?
The area is more than five times that of his one in Yau Ma Tei, and it has two floors!
In Lian Xiaomin's eyes, it wasn't that big, just about 130 square meters.
But in Causeway Bay where every inch of land is valuable, it is indeed a good option, especially since this street is lined with shops and is absolutely suitable for catering.
"How about, Uncle Tan, how about opening another restaurant? This is Xinyi Anbin's territory. He is my good brother. Don't worry, no one will cause trouble in the future, and you don't even have to pay protection fees."
The Tan family father and son were so surprised and excited that they were speechless.
"Ms. Lian, but we can't afford to rent such a good shop..." A Feng spoke embarrassedly, speaking for his father's thoughts.
Lian Xiaomin smiled and said, "Then how about this, we can open a business together? I'll sell the shop, and the decoration here is all new. I'll invest another 30,000 yuan to decorate it well, buy the things needed to open a restaurant, and hire a few more waiters."
"...Uncle Tan, you and your son will be in charge of the business and both will get paid. Then we will divide the profits 40% and 60% respectively. I'll take 40% because the shop is still mine after all. I'll just pay the rent."
When Uncle Tan heard this, he immediately grinned and nodded repeatedly, thinking that cooperation was a good idea!
This girl is straightforward and righteous, so it's natural that everyone is willing to cooperate with her.
"Miss Lian, I'll take 40%, and 60% is more appropriate for you..."
The two sides argued for a long time and finally agreed on a 50-50 split!
The father and son of the Tan family were particularly emotional. Sometimes, you think you are unlucky, but unexpectedly it is good luck. They really met a good person today!
Don’t even mention how much money you make. Having a backer like him means there won’t be any more gangs causing trouble in the future.
With this point, he can run the restaurant safely in such a world. It is hard to find such a partner even with a lantern!
Just now when we were driving here, Lian Xiaomin learned that they were renting a house in Yau Ma Tei, so she reminded them that they could no longer live there.
I didn't go easy on them today. All of their opponents suffered serious fractures. Chen Daqiang would definitely be determined to seek revenge. He could find their residence by asking around.
She found a phone nearby and called Sun Xuefeng, asking him to come over and drive Tan Baifeng to the hospital to transfer his mother to St. Paul's Hospital in Causeway Bay.
The Tan family father and son thanked them profusely and solemnly took the key to the store, as well as a check for thirty thousand dollars, promising to work hard to run the place well.
We also gave the restaurant a new name, "Jade Restaurant", and mainly served Cantonese cuisine.
Lian Xiaomin was also very happy that she had her own restaurant. Even though it was not big and not a luxurious restaurant, she felt that she was "entering the catering industry"!
This is a good start.
Uncle Tan was looking around upstairs and downstairs. Afeng went to the hospital, leaving Lian Xiaomin and Luo Wen alone. It was a good opportunity for them to talk alone.
Lian Xiaomin talked to the other party about music and the situation of the orchestra.
When she had some free time, she checked the computer space and found out that he should have signed a contract with TVB around 1974, and later sang many popular film and television songs, gradually becoming famous.
And in 1971, there was also a turning point, when I formed a singing group with Fei Fei.
"Luo Wen, you know Future TV, right? Actually, I founded it. If you are interested, you can sign a contract with my company. It just so happens that I am about to set up a new Yinchao Records."
When Luo Wen heard this, he was surprised again. This Miss Lian really made him shocked again and again. What luck did his family have today?
The Mark Six lottery in Hong Kong has only been available since 1975. It was not available at that time, otherwise he would have to go out and buy one for a hundred dollars!
"Of course I'm interested!"
The two of them sat on the first floor of the store and had a serious conversation. Finally, they confirmed the signing matters and would go to the company tomorrow.
They are all in Causeway Bay, very close to each other.
After signing the contract with the record company, he will also receive a generous signing fee directly. He will no longer have to worry about his mother's surgery. Luo Wen is very excited.
Uncle Tan came down and listened to what his son had said. He was very grateful to Lian Xiaomin for the opportunity.
We met by chance today, and I didn’t expect that the whole family would be so lucky.
Lian Xiaomin thought to herself that she was actually lucky. She was able to sign a future superstar like Luo Wen before TVB. She was so lucky.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Xuefeng and his family came back. Tan Baifeng had already settled his mother in St. Paul's Hospital and came back here first to deliver food later.
"Uncle Tan, you and your two sons have nowhere to stay today, so you can stay at the nearby Oceanview Hotel Causeway Bay."
"...Sun Xuefeng, you can take them there later and book two rooms. Then order some food from the restaurant and send it to the hospital."
