Yang Qiaoqiao: ...
She organized her thoughts, just about to say something to Qiao Haifan.
Qiao Haifan suddenly pointed out the car window and said, "Qiao Qiao, look, the streets are already decorated with red lanterns for the New Year. Another year is almost over. Time really flies!"
"Qiaoqiao, are you spending the Spring Festival in Haicheng this year?" Qiao Haifan asked immediately after finishing his sentence, not giving Yang Qiaoqiao a chance to respond to his previous question.
Yang Qiaoqiao knew what Qiao Haifan was thinking.
But after being interrupted by Qiao Haifan, she no longer knew how to express the words she had prepared.
We had no choice but to give up.
"I should go back to Sichuan Province for the Spring Festival this year," Shen Chuning said.
It's almost the end of the year, and although there are people looking after the factories and shops in Sichuan Province, I still have to go back and check on them.
Moreover, her older brother's family had a baby this year, and she didn't even go back to celebrate the baby's one-month birthday. Since it's the first New Year, she has to go back to send her blessings to the child.
My mom has been helping her take care of the kids here for more than half a year. She must miss home and needs to go back to her hometown to visit.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Haifan told Yang Qiaoqiao that he had read Li Bai's poem "The Road to Shu is Hard" and had longed to visit the Shu Road in Sichuan Province, which was described as "harder than ascending to heaven." He asked Yang Qiaoqiao if he could go to Sichuan Province with them to broaden his horizons.
Yang Qiaoqiao: ...
She paused for a moment, then said, "Afan, I'm sorry. If you want to travel to Sichuan Province, we can go together, and I can even be your guide once we get there. But you're not coming back with us."
A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Qiao Haifan's eyes, but it was only for a moment before his face returned to its usual gentle smile. "Haha, Qiao Qiao, you've already agreed to be my guide, what else could you possibly owe me?"
"Then it's a deal, you'll be my guide, no backing out."
Yang Qiaoqiao smiled and replied, "Okay."
During the three-day exhibition, Yang Qiaoqiao signed orders worth nearly ten million US dollars, directly securing six months' worth of orders for her two garment factories.
Fortunately, these orders are all due before next winter, so there's no rush and we can work on them slowly.
While Yang Qiaoqiao was busy signing orders at the exhibition, Jiang Yiran's first snack shop also opened.
She offered a high price to poach a skilled cook from the school cafeteria and then told the cook about the general recipes for the snacks she wanted to make, such as fries, chicken strips, chicken cutlets, and popcorn chicken.
Although she didn't know the exact proportions, her aunt was definitely skilled in this area. After her aunt adjusted the recipe several times, Jiang Yiran found that the snacks tasted almost exactly like KFC in the future.
Even after she bought a whole truckload of tomatoes, the auntie tried to make tomato sauce as well.
The rich aroma of these fried snacks can be smelled from a great distance when they are made.
Not to mention that when dipped in ketchup, it stimulates the taste buds and leaves a lingering aftertaste.
Therefore, Jiang Yiran's snack shop became extremely popular as soon as it opened.
Jiang Yiran originally planned to be a hands-off manager, but seeing how good business was these past two days, she took leave from school to help out at the store.
She was helping out at the store, so naturally her little followers came too.
Jiang Yiran was very generous. When her followers came, she let them order whatever they wanted and eat whatever they wanted, and it was all on her, the boss.
However, the canteen auntie who helped her saw that the shop was in chaos after her followers arrived, and couldn't help but remind her: "Boss, since your friends are here, why don't you just charge them the cost price? All your oil, gas, electricity, potatoes, chicken and other raw materials cost money."
"They have a lot of people, you'll probably lose money doing this."
Although Jiang Yiran felt that the older woman was petty and looked down on her stingy behavior, she didn't offend her on the surface.
He smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. It's just that it's our first day of business, and it would seem stingy of me to charge our friends for coming to support us."
The aunt who helped: ...
She meant that it was precisely because it was the first day that it was difficult to start.
Otherwise, once this precedent is set, it will be difficult to collect money from them later.
But after thinking about it, she swallowed her words. Anyway, it wasn't her shop, and it wasn't her money that was being lost. She would just do whatever the boss told her to do.
Jiang Yiran not only gave her followers free food, but also made the auntie cook for them first.
As a result, the customers who were already in line complained, and a large portion of them simply left.
After a whole day of work, Jiang Yiran felt like her legs were about to break. She thought she must have made a lot of money, but when she checked the accounts, she found that not only had she not made any money, but she hadn't even recovered the cost of the raw materials she had used that day.
Jiang Yiran was immediately stunned.
Huo Beixiao wouldn't give her any money; she had to sell the house the Jiang family had given her to open this snack shop.
If the snack shop doesn't make money, then not only will she be working for nothing, but she might even lose her own house.
You should know that the house the Jiang family gave her will be worth at least tens of millions in just over twenty years.
The reason she made up her mind to sell her house and open a snack shop was because she knew that these snacks would become popular in cities of all sizes across the country and would flourish everywhere.
She felt that as long as she seized the opportunity and opened her store before everyone else, she could eventually open a chain store and buy back ten or even a hundred of the houses she had sold.
Once she starts making money, Huo Beixiao will see her abilities.
If she then proposes a collaboration with Huo Beixiao, he probably won't refuse.
