Chapter 401 Contracting Food Factory
Today is the first day the hot pot restaurant opened. Chen Yi also did a lot of marketing, but not many people came.
Mainly because people are not familiar with these things, the restaurant has been closed and only received five tables.
This includes the table next door occupied by Mr. Lin.
"Boss Chen, we're leaving first."
The chefs and waiters are about to go off work. Business is not very good today. They don’t understand why, but it’s time to go off work.
Chen Yi nodded, "Everyone, walk slowly."
After watching the person leave, I went back to think about it.
There will definitely be twists and turns in the hot pot restaurant at the beginning, and this was expected from the beginning.
She thought about it, then locked the door and drove home.
The children in the room have already gone to bed. It is now 9:30 in the evening. Children usually go to bed at 8 o'clock. This is a habit that has been cultivated for them a long time ago.
Chen Yi tiptoed back upstairs, then entered the space and started to rummage around.
There must be no problem with the base of their hot pot restaurant, but they have to carry out promotional activities.
At this time, she heard the sound of a car parking outside, so she came out of the space and waited.
He Mingcheng came upstairs after a while, said hello and went to take a shower and change clothes. The two of them sat in the space.
I was particularly tired today, so He Mingcheng went to open a bottle of cold beer.
"Give me a bottle too!" Chen Yi also wanted to drink, just to relieve her fatigue.
He Mingcheng was surprised to hear this. He originally thought that his wife would not drink. After all, he had not seen her drink in all these years.
Two bottles of beer were placed on the table, and Chen Yi gulped down half of them.
"belch……"
So cool.
"You can still drink." He Mingcheng looked at her, feeling upset. What else was his wife hiding from him?
Chen Yi smiled and said, "I just don't want to drink. I just want to relax today."
"Oh, how is the hot pot restaurant?" He Mingcheng didn't hesitate and asked about the business situation instead.
“Not very good.”
After hearing this answer, both of them fell silent.
After a while, He Mingcheng said, "The second food factory in Chuncheng can no longer operate. We are now selecting individual businesses to take over. Are you interested?"
He thought that since the hot pot restaurant was not doing well, he might as well do something else.
Chen Yi was a little surprised when he heard this. In the 1990s, many state-owned factories were transferred to private hands.
I didn't expect it to be available now.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Take me to see it tomorrow, and I'll take over if I can."
The factory can still be studied, and I am quite interested in this aspect.
He Mingcheng agreed.
The next morning, the two of them went to see the food factory first.
This factory occupies a large area and the factory building is also in good condition. Although the outside is old, the structure inside is quite solid. There is no problem using it for another ten years.
"We used to make canned food, but the machines are all old and need to be replaced. This equipment costs hundreds of thousands of yuan."
He Mingcheng explained the situation and said that it was not easy to do anything now. State-owned enterprises had their own difficulties. It was no problem to take out hundreds of thousands of yuan to update equipment, but the premise was that the factory was in good condition.
Now this food factory not only has no orders, but it is also difficult to maintain. If it wants to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars, everyone will have to think carefully.
Chen Yi took a rough look around and found that the site and warehouse were large enough, so the workshop could be expanded at will in the future.
"This place is okay. How much is it?" She turned to look at the person next to her.
He Mingcheng replied: "The factory basically has no equipment, so it's just the cost of a site, 100,000 for ten years."
Basically the rent is 10,000 yuan a year.
Chen Yi thought for a moment and said, "Can we rent it for fifty years, which will be cheaper?"
Fifty years from now it will be a new era. By then, how could such a venue be rented without tens or even hundreds of millions a year?
Even if you keep it in your hand, it won't lose money.
He Mingcheng was dumbfounded when he heard this. Fifty years?!
"Wife, you..."
Not crazy, right?
He didn't dare to say the following sentence.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "Everything has risks. This place is in the suburbs. I think I won't move for the next fifty years. I can stay here forever."
There are rural areas all around here, and it is far away from the countryside. Because there is a factory here, we specially provided a shuttle bus.
It is very convenient for workers to commute to get off work.
Seeing her confidence, He Mingcheng nodded in agreement, "So you don't want to do foreign trade anymore?"
Before, Chen Yi said she wanted to do foreign trade. They made less than two million this year and originally wanted to open a foreign trade company for her.
Chen Yi shook her head. "Let's not do it for now. This food factory is also an opportunity. If you miss it, you won't be able to wait for the next time."
She knew it was not easy to get such an opportunity at this time, and she had to seize it.
"Okay then." He Mingcheng nodded in agreement.
As for the quotation, He Mingcheng proposed a fifty-year contract, which directly won everyone over.
Because others still want to try it in five years. After all, there is no equipment, just a venue.
It is already difficult to propose a ten-year contract period, and there are still people who want to bargain?
In the end, He Mingcheng contracted the factory for fifty years at a price of 480,000 yuan, and the food factory was also named after Chen Yi.
As for what they will do with this, the higher-ups will give them priority in processing some things for their business licenses.
If you support the country, you will receive preferential treatment.
Chen Yi didn’t have time to set up the food factory first. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and she planned to do it after the New Year.
The original food factory workers have been transferred elsewhere. There is no early layoffs now, and this will only happen in a few years.
In fact, Chen Yi wanted to keep those people, but she had no equipment, so she had to give up.
The hot pot restaurant's performance was not very good in the first three days after opening, so she thought about it and copied a lot of flyers, all of which she made herself.
There is a computer printer in the space, and a simple PS will do. Anyway, we don’t have these things now.
During the business hours of the hot pot restaurant, as long as you come in to eat hot pot, you will be provided with free drinks, and there is a 10% discount for membership. Members will receive two free dishes every time they come into the store to consume, one meat roll and one vegetable.
Such discounts are rare. After all, everyone is trying to make money, so who would give away things for free?
Drinks have to be purchased with money in this day and age, so why are you giving them to others for free?
Just like that, with the waiter's surprised eyes, Chen Yi asked everyone to distribute flyers.
The waiter was thinking, this hotpot restaurant is probably going to fail? It’s only been open for a few days, and the boss is giving away gifts like this?
If they didn't have a probation period, they would have quit long ago.
The publicity was very effective. The hot pot restaurant was packed that night, and two-fifths of the people who came had become members.
Members also need to recharge, just recharge ten yuan and it can be used for this consumption, ten yuan can be spent.
Because there was space, Chen Yi used the items in the space to restock the kitchen three times.
Otherwise, she would have nowhere to buy vegetables late at night, but fortunately there was stock.
