Two days ago, all the trained employees in Chengdu arrived, the store was short of staff, and normal operations were resumed.
In the short term, business does not seem to have been affected too much.
During the first three days of Xishuanshuan’s opening, all dishes and drinks will be discounted by 20%.
Coupled with the gossip and provocations some time ago, there are still quite a few people going there every day, and Xifulai has been affected a little.
The passenger flow is about 20% to 30% less than before.
Jiang Tiantian looked at the data from the past few days and said, "It's as expected. There's nothing to worry about. After this period of time, it will slowly come back."
Jiang Tiantian asked Xiaoqi to send a drone to check, and found that Xishuanshuan’s meat products were indeed purchased from the Beijing slaughterhouse early every morning, just like their Xifulai.
Fresh seasonal vegetables are purchased from farmers in villages outside Beijing, unlike Xifulai which purchases from village collectives.
But they were all planted by villagers, and the seeds were also saved from the improved seeds provided by Jiang Tiantian.
Jiang Tiantian couldn't say that they violated the cooperation agreement.
Besides, she doesn't even care about these things.
But when it comes to alcohol and beverages, Xishuashua has many tricks up its sleeve.
Many of Xifulai’s wines and beverages are provided directly by Jiang Tiantian, and are brewed by her herself in the growing space.
After all, the planting space produces a large amount of food and fruits every day, and we can’t let those grains and fruits rot in the fields.
Moreover, Jiang Tiantian asked Xiao Qi to order a few wine-making robots from the platform, so she was completely free.
Baiweizhai and Xifulai cannot even digest the daily output from the planting space alone.
But...Jiang Tiantian didn't think about exporting it.
After all, this is the signature of her restaurant, and no one else can learn it.
In the future, Xifulai will become a national chain of hotpot restaurants. By then, the wines and beverages in her cultivation space will have a stable sales channel.
Lin Zizhu stayed in Joy Luck for more than a month, but was unable to find out the source of the store's alcohol and beverages.
The employees all said that this was a supplier that the boss himself negotiated with, and it was specially supplied to Baiweizhai and Xifulai.
The packaging also has the trademarks of Baiweizhai and Xifulai.
But the drinks in the store taste so good that many customers buy some extra to take away when they check out.
Lin Zizhu didn't want to give up the drinks, but she had no clues.
It was impossible for her to rush up to Jiang Tiantian and ask her, "Hey, can you tell me where the drinks and beverages for your hot pot restaurant come from?"
Isn't this obviously asking for trouble?
Lin Zizhu also paid close attention to the woman Jiang Tiantian during his classes.
Her subconscious told her that this woman was not easy to deal with and she'd better not provoke her.
Once, when Jiang Tiantian was chatting with her classmates, she said, "In business, fair competition is one thing, but if you don't focus on sincere business operations and just think of crooked ways, you won't go far..."
Lin Zizhu sat not far from them, with his head down, holding the pen tightly, not daring to speak.
She didn't know whether Jiang Tiantian said it casually or said it on purpose for her to hear?
After searching for a long time, there was still no clue about any supplier. In the end, Lin Zizhu had no choice but to choose the best from some of the more popular alcoholic beverages on the market.
I tried my best to select some with good reputation and taste and stock them in the store.
It’s better to have it than nothing.
Wait until she finds a purchasing channel for Xifulai, or a better purchasing channel than Xifulai.
There's still time to replace it.
Since Xishuanshuan's pricing is 10% lower than Xifulai, and many of the store's employees were poached from Xifulai at high salaries, Xishuanshuan's profits have become much lower.
Lin Zizhu then set his sights on buying those expensive alcoholic beverages.
When the guests are not paying attention, add a little water into the mixture. Since they are eating a strong-flavored hotpot, even if the taste of the alcohol and drinks is a little lighter, they won’t be able to taste it.
It is thanks to this trick that Xishuashua's profits have gradually become more attractive.
Lin Zizhu looked at the Xifulai store not far away and saw that the number of customers was obviously 20% to 30% less than usual, and raised his eyebrows proudly.
"We are both women, and I am not much worse than Jiang Tiantian."
"When I make money in Beijing, I will buy a courtyard house here. After graduation, I will find a talented young man from Beijing to marry."
"The days ahead will not be worse than Jiang Tiantian's."
…
But a month later, Lin Zizhu discovered that the number of customers at Xishuanshuan was showing a slight downward trend.
The customer flow of Xifulai has slowly returned to its previous peak state.
It even became more famous because there were two big hotpot restaurants competing with each other on this street.
More and more diners come here to eat.
Many of the surrounding shops that were previously half-dying have simply changed their business and turned into restaurants, selling Beijing's special snacks.
Such as roast duck, stewed meat, copper pot lamb, barbecue, stir-fry, noodles, etc...
This street seems to be developing into the food street that Jiang Tiantian envisioned.
Jiang Tiantian is happy to see this happen.
She even took advantage of this wave of transformation and when some shops could no longer operate and wanted to be transferred, she found an opportunity to buy a storefront near an intersection and opened a Baiweizhai Chinese dim sum shop on the same street.
Because it is close to the main road intersection, business is quite brisk.
Many working-class people on their way to and from work would stop by on their bicycles, be attracted by the aroma of the baking snacks, and buy some to take home for their families to try.
"Our turnover during this period has increased instead of decreased."
During the month-end inventory, Tan Zhilin tapped his calculator.
The more he used this little gadget, the more he liked it. It was much faster and more efficient than using an abacus.
Seeing that there were already some very convenient calculators available abroad, Jiang Tiantian purchased a batch directly from the platform.
A batch was sent to Chajia Village, Rongcheng, and Beijing.
Detailed instructions for use are also included.
When Tan Zhilin used it for the first time, he was so amazed that he threw the abacus aside that very day and even held it in his arms when he slept at night.
He also asked Jiang Tiantian if she had any extra goods. If so, she could give him a batch and he would take them to school to sell.
The students and teachers of the University of Finance and Economics must be very interested in this little gadget.
Jiang Tiantian didn't lack this little money, so she converted the platform's gold coins into current prices, quoted a cost price to Tan Zhilin, and asked him to sell it himself.
Unexpectedly, this guy has the motivation to make money, and his enthusiasm is different.
Jiang Tiantian estimated that all the teachers and students in the University of Finance and Economics had been fooled by him.
Because the amount of shipments that Tan Zhilin took from her was quite large.
Just by reselling electronic calculators, Tan Zhilin's small treasury must have increased a lot recently.
One day, Cha Jiuzhang asked curiously, "Why has that kid never doubted it? Where did you get all these new things from?"
Jiang Tiantian smiled and said, "Xiao Linzi has a blind worship of me. He thinks I am omnipotent."
"Besides, this is just bringing something that already exists abroad to China."
"I guess in his mind, these things are just a drop in the bucket for me."
"Who made me also have the identity of being the biological mother of an overseas Chinese?"
No one knows the couple's secret conversations in the bedroom.
