Yue Tao got up early to help Lin Guihua, and was even more considerate than her own son Liu Yihang, instantly winning Lin Guihua's heart.
They loved these two children dearly.
Wang Donghai is also very reliable. He has already found nine shops in different areas, which, together with Wenxiangju, which Liu Xiangdong is currently running, will make a total of ten shops.
They were just waiting for Liu Yihang to review the contract before signing it and paying the rent.
The two of them settled the matter in one day. Wang Donghai was quite reliable. He found good locations and relatively small storefronts. Liu Yihang signed the contract decisively and paid a year's deposit in advance.
To avoid troubling two clients, he entrusted the decoration work to the construction team that was repairing the courtyard house.
Actually, there's not much to decorate in the shop. Just put on some plaster and lime to make it look whiter, then set up a table at the entrance to display various braised dishes for customers to choose from, and another table inside the shop to display other items.
After all this is done, we just need to wait for the courtyard house to be renovated before we can start training the staff and get them ready to start working.
While waiting for the renovations to be completed, Liu Yihang took Liu Xiangdong to buy a new minivan, again from Miao Zhiqiang's shop, because they wanted to keep the profits within the family.
However, this time Miao Zhiqiang wanted to give Liu Yihang a 20% discount, but Liu Yihang refused. He couldn't let others sell at a loss every time.
Liu Xiangdong now practices driving for two hours every day and is becoming more and more proficient.
He was so excited about owning a new car that he couldn't sleep. He never imagined he would live such a good life.
With a car, a house, and savings, life is pretty good.
As for the kitchen utensils, stoves, pots and pans needed for the courtyard and the shop, Liu Yihang was too lazy to get involved and left it all to Lin Guihua to handle.
He simply helped buy two new freezers to place in the courtyard. When the time comes, the old one from the shop will be moved over, making a total of three freezers, which should be enough to store some meat and such.
Preparations are almost complete; the courtyard house has been repaired first.
Everything was packed according to Liu Yihang's instructions.
Liu Xiangdong and Lin Guihua's business came to a complete standstill. One morning, the family packed their few belongings and left the shop.
Often, departures happen silently.
Regular customers discovered that Wenxiangju had suddenly closed down, with only the sign still standing.
A notice was posted at the entrance saying that it would reopen in ten days.
Liu Yihang left behind the Wenxiangju signboard, which was the name of their first shop, given by their master Chen Yiping. He wanted to use it directly as the name of their future braised food shop.
No matter how many stores they open in the future, they will all be called Wenxiangju.
Because of the trademark awareness of later generations, he directly registered the trademark of Wenxiangju and then customized Wenxiangju plaques for other stores.
Tianzhou Wenxiangju Braised Food Company was established.
Everything is ready, except for the east wind.
Before the opening, the whole family held a meeting together.
This includes Yunyin and Wang Donghai, Yue Tao and Yue Tian.
This business isn't a one-person business; it's a collaborative effort. We need to divide the work reasonably according to everyone's abilities to get things done better.
Liu Xiangdong will then work as both a purchasing agent and a driver, responsible for buying and transporting raw materials and delivering braised food to various shops.
The task might mean not being able to sleep in late in the morning, but the busyness only lasts for a short while. During the day, there will be plenty of free time to work with Lin Guihua to make braised dishes.
Another crucial task was that Liu Xiangdong was responsible for handing over the shift every night, collecting the day's revenue from each store, and then passing it on to Yunyin.
Lin Guihua's main responsibility is to adjust the recipe for braised dishes according to the proportions, and she is already very good at this.
Besides this task, she also had to manage five workers under her command, urging and supervising them to perform their respective duties.
Liu Yihang knew it might be a bit difficult at first, as Lin Guihua had never done management before, but everyone learns gradually, and he would always be there to back her up.
Wang Donghai, Liu Yihang, and Yunyin are all still students and can't be there for each other around the clock, so Liu Xiangdong and the others have to take care of many things.
Wang Donghai was in charge of managing sales, observing the business situation of each store, and was also responsible for coordinating the expansion of new stores and the recruitment of staff. Liu Yihang was no longer involved.
As for Yunyin, her main task was accounting. Based on the daily order slips and the money Liu Xiangdong collected, she would roughly estimate the store's revenue, whether it was profitable or not, and whether any employees were embezzling funds.
The company's financial management, payroll, and tax payment were also handled by Yunyin.
For her, it was quite simple: professionals should do what they're good at.
Liu Yihang himself doesn't manage the company's minor affairs very much; he only needs to steer the ship.
If any major problems arise in the company, just report them to him.
Speaking of reporting, he thought he should also install a landline at the courtyard house for easier communication.
In addition, once business picks up, we'll need to consider installing a landline in each store.
In business, there's no such thing as being perfect; you discover and solve problems through trial and error.
Yue Tao and Yue Tian listened attentively. Liu Yihang didn't mention them for a long time, so Yue Tao raised his hand and asked, "Brother Yihang, what about us?"
"You two little guys are the gatekeepers of our Wenxiangju Braised Food Company. You're responsible for guarding our gate and not letting bad guys in," Liu Yihang said with a smile.
Yue Tao even imitated the soldiers on TV, saluted, and said, "I guarantee to complete the mission."
