Mu Xi and the other girls felt very ashamed after hearing Chu Fan's words. They realized that they had only focused on pursuing wealth, but had neglected the welfare of the general public.
Chu Fan didn't want to open a restaurant to make money, but he thought that Wen Xuexuan and the others were only making a tiny profit. As the emperor of Wei, Chu Fan believed that he should pursue higher goals rather than be satisfied with small profits.
In fact, if Chu Fan was not in the position of emperor, he might have made the same choice as Mu Xi and the other women. After all, he was the emperor, not a commoner or a minor official like other time travelers, who were unable to hold on to greater wealth.
As an emperor, if someone tries to spy on his business, he can suppress them forcefully. Of course, he's not afraid if he can't suppress them. After all, his system mission requires them to rebel. If he can't suppress them, then won't they succeed? Wouldn't he be able to complete his mission?
When Chu Fan saw Mu Xi and the other ladies showing expressions of shame, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "The restaurant still needs to be opened, but haven't you considered the economic conditions of ordinary people? How much money can ordinary people have?
If you set the prices too low in your restaurant, how much profit can you make? At the same time, don’t you feel a little ashamed of making money from ordinary people?
Tang Ji seemed a little impatient at this time. He was straightforward and bold by nature, so he said with a hint of complaint in his tone: "Your Majesty, you said before that you didn't plan to open a restaurant, but now you say you want to open it. Can you give us clear instructions? What should we do to meet your wishes?"
Mu Xi's expression changed dramatically after hearing Tang Ji's words. Although Emperor Chu Fan acted very amiable, Mu Xi knew that no matter how approachable Chu Fan was, he was still the supreme emperor, and was not someone an ordinary woman like Tang Ji could complain about.
Mu Xi said to Tang Ji seriously, "You should listen respectfully to your majesty's instructions and stop talking."
It was only then that Tang Ji suddenly realized that the young man in front of her was none other than the Emperor who now held the helm of the Wei Kingdom. She understood that no matter how approachable Chu Fan appeared, she should not have any complaints against him, because he was the supreme monarch.
Tang Ji was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and said in horror: "I am ignorant and have offended Your Majesty. Please punish me."
Chu Fan looked at Tang Ji, who was kneeling on the ground and looked pitiful. He did not blame her, but said with a smile: "Get up, this is not a big deal."
After hearing Chu Fan's words, Tang Ji stood up tremblingly, her heart filled with awe and gratitude.
Chu Fan continued to describe his plan: "Even if everyone in Kaifeng City can build an earthen stove, they lack the proper cooking skills. Therefore, the dishes they cook will naturally not be comparable to the imperial chef's skills that I have taught them.
Imagine if we open a restaurant, advertise it as a royal restaurant, and have a real royal chef prepare the dishes. What do you think the price of the dishes should be?
Furthermore, if I teach the restaurant's chefs a few more exclusive dishes, do you think those powerful and wealthy people will be attracted to our restaurant? Our goal is to earn money from the upper class. After all, the profit margins for earning money from ordinary people are limited."
After hearing Chu Fan's words, Mu Xi and the others became more and more interested, especially Wen Xuexuan. She listened attentively to every word Chu Fan said, as if she wanted to remember his plans and strategies in her mind.
Chu Fan continued, "Also, we absolutely cannot build this restaurant in the heart of Kaifeng City. If it is located in the city, then ordinary people can easily see this restaurant. Wouldn't this make our restaurant seem low-class?"
We should build the restaurant on a high mountain outside Kaifeng City, using cement manufactured by the Ministry of War (Chu Fan had it produced by the Ministry of War) to create a magnificent structure over ten meters tall. Then, we'll decorate the interior of the restaurant luxuriously, ensuring that every guest who dines in the restaurant enjoys top-notch service and dining.
In this way, our restaurant will not only become a symbol of identity and status, but will also attract nobles and wealthy businessmen who pursue a luxurious lifestyle. To demonstrate their identity and status, they will naturally be willing to spend money here at any cost.
After hearing Chu Fan's detailed plan, Wen Xuexuan couldn't help but applaud, "Your Majesty is truly wise. Your strategy is truly brilliant. With this plan, nobles and wealthy merchants will surely flock to our restaurant. I can't even imagine how much profit a restaurant like this could bring us in a month."
Chu Fan smiled slightly, his tone filled with confidence and composure. He continued, "Since our restaurant has been branded with the royal emblem, do you think it will be a place where ordinary nobles and wealthy businessmen can come and spend money at will? No, they must prove their strength and status before they can consume.
To this end, our restaurant will soon launch four different levels of membership cards to meet the needs of customers at different levels. Among them, the highest level membership card is the Supreme Card, followed by the Gold Card, Silver Card, and Bronze Card.
