"Brother, what's an open kitchen? Wouldn't everyone know our recipes?"
Zhou Qiang frowned tightly, very dissatisfied with Li Mu's proposal.
"What's the big deal? I plan to build a new factory to sell the base for our grilled fish."
"Don't worry, I have already registered the trademark. If others follow ours, we can sue them directly."
"Besides, the reason we've been able to do this for so long, besides the taste, the most important thing is the freshness of the ingredients."
After hearing what Zhou Qiang said, Li Mu could understand Zhou Qiang's concerns, so he patiently explained to Zhou Qiang.
After listening to Li Mu's words, Zhou Qiang did not express any opinion, but he did not agree either. After all, doing this now is the time when the grilled fish restaurant is doing the best business, and it is inevitable that some jealous people will deliberately find fault with it.
If someone sees our production process, they will most likely follow our example, and then the grilled fish restaurant will be finished.
"You kid, are you so narrow-minded? How can I harm you? If the grilled fish shop can't continue, we will just open it and buy the base ingredients. Then they will have to come to us for supply."
Seeing that Zhou Qiang refused to listen to any advice, Li Mu said with gritted teeth.
...
...
After hearing Li Mu's explanation, Zhou Qiang finally understood. He immediately nodded and agreed.
Zhou Qiang stopped being stubborn, so Li Mu handed Zhou Qiang the design of the open kitchen that he had drawn at home last night, and told him:
"After you find the workers, we will close for half a month and get the factory ready first."
When Zhou Qiang saw the design drawn by Li Mu, he was a little confused. He only knew that the kitchen was made entirely of glass, allowing people outside to see what they were doing inside.
Thinking of that scene, Zhou Qiang felt uncomfortable.
-------
Lin Xiaoxiao, who had originally rushed out, was persuaded by Wu Min to come back, but she stood not far away and refused to come in.
He was afraid that Li Mu would be mean to him again when he came in, so he just stood not far away and waited for Li Mu to coax him.
Who would have thought that after standing there for quite some time, Li Mu kept chattering to Zhou Qiang, with Zhou Qiang nodding to agree with him from time to time.
This made Lin Xiaoxiao, who was already spoiled, unbearable and she walked towards Li Mu angrily.
"Hey, Li Mu, you just treated me so harshly for no reason. Shouldn't you apologize to me?"
"Not only did you not chase me out, but you even asked Sister Xiaomin to apologize to you. Are you sick?"
After venting his anger at Li Mu, he kept staring at Li Mu, wanting to see what else Li Mu would say.
Who knew that Li Mu just glanced at her, apologized in a faint tone, and turned around to continue discussing the store decoration with Zhou Qiang.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who was already furious, instantly lost her temper after hearing Li Mu's simple apology.
I could only stand there at a loss, and from time to time I could hear the two of them planning to look for a site and open a hot pot base factory.
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately became interested, pulled out a chair and sat next to them, listening to the two people talking about their recent plans.
"Li Mu, are you really planning to open a factory to produce base materials?"
After listening for most of the day, I basically understood that the two were planning to find a factory to produce the hot pot base themselves, but they were a little short of funds.
I thought to myself, my family is quite wealthy, so if I were to invest in them, my dad wouldn’t object, right?
So he interrupted and asked.
Li Mu recently bought a shop and a building, so he doesn't have much money now. If he wants to open a factory, it will cost a lot of money just to buy equipment, labor, and rent a factory.
So what he and Zhou Qiang discussed was that they should first take a look at the situation and calculate how much funds they currently have. If there is really no way out, Li Mu will mortgage both the shop and the house.
But Lin Xiaoxiao's sudden interruption gave Li Mu hope.
Lin Xiaoxiao is capable and her family is rich. Isn't she a complete sucker?
"Yes, what's wrong?" Although he knew that Lin Xiaoxiao asked this suddenly and must have planned to cooperate with him, Li Mu still pretended not to understand and replied.
"You are short of funds. Why don't you consider letting me join the company? I don't want a lot of dividends, but I have to be in charge of the factory."
"If you are short of equipment, I can get you some through my family, and of course the price will be discounted accordingly."
When Zhou Qiang heard what Lin Xiaoxiao said, his eyes lit up, just like a beggar seeing money dropped on the ground.
Li Mu knew that Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to give him a chance to train himself, after all, she would be the one to inherit his family's huge business in the future.
"Let me make it clear first, the hot pot base was developed by me, and I can basically come up with the funds, it's just a matter of time."
"If you insist on forming a partnership with us, you can put in 30% of the capital, manage the factory, and Qiangzi, you can also take some money and own some shares in the factory."
Hearing that Lin Xiaoxiao was willing to provide financial support, Li Mu agreed without hesitation and determined the future profit sharing.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Zhou Qiang had no objection to what Li Mu said. After all, the proposal to open the factory came from someone else, who provided both the money and the creativity.
They won't just lick your face and ask for higher standards.
According to Li Mu’s current daily income, there will be no problem with the factory’s funding, it just takes time.
The problem he had caused was also solved. Li Mu immediately decided to close the grilled fish restaurant tomorrow for renovation.
After Zhou Qiang contacted the decoration team, he asked Wu Min to stay at home to monitor the progress.
The three of them will go directly to the countryside tomorrow to see if there are any factories willing to rent or sell.
In fact, the main reason why Li Mu wanted to open a factory was to lead his fellow villagers to a prosperous life.
You don't have to be poor forever, haha. You can't rely on God for food all your life.
-------
In the next few days, Li Mu and Zhou Qiang went door to door looking for a factory every day.
I'm also asking Aunt Wang to help keep an eye out for anyone selling a house nearby.
There is no delay in making money at all. After all, the compensation will be quite a lot after the land is demolished.
Even Aunt Wang, who originally had no money, gritted her teeth and took out her last bit of coffin money after Li Mu's persuasion.
He bought the house he originally lived in.
Thinking about these recent events, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh:
"Damn it! I earn more money than I spend. My pockets were full, but now I have to spend money on this and that."
"My trouser pockets are flat."
But when I think about it, when the house is demolished and I get the compensation, I will probably feel much better.
