In a society where favors are important, favors are more important than money. This is why novels about miracle doctors have always been very popular. Every time the protagonist saves a big shot, he owes them favors!
Xia Yu is not keen on favors. He does many things casually. Success or failure depends on luck. But as long as he leaves a good reputation in the circle, his luck will not be too bad in most cases.
After hanging up the phone with He Jiawen, he called Ji Yang again and talked to him about this matter.
"Hey, it doesn't matter who I do it for, as long as the quality of the renovation is guaranteed."
Ji Yang said nonchalantly.
When it comes to the scale of Huasu, many troubles will disappear automatically, so who will be given the project is just a matter of a word from the heir, without so many complications.
"Okay, I'll ask him to keep an eye on it."
"By the way, Lao Xia, the takeout business is doing pretty well. My dad praised me after seeing the data for the past two weeks!"
Being praised by his father, Ji Yang was obviously in a good mood.
Because Xia Jiabao's takeout is not open to the public and is exclusively supplied to the mid-to-high-end hotel brands under the Huasu Group, the hotel occupancy rates in the five cities have increased significantly.
The period after New Year's Day and before the Spring Festival is the off-season for the tourism industry. This is particularly obvious and is by no means an exaggeration.
In the cold winter, how many foodies are willing to leave their warm rooms and go out to look for food?
In this case, takeout is the way to go, especially for those who are not short of money. When they order takeout, they consider whether it tastes good, not whether it is expensive.
"It's a win-win cooperation, saving the food delivery platforms money."
Xia Yu took over the conversation.
The two major food delivery platforms are now burning money on subsidies to attract merchants to join, but Xia Yu refuses to join because capital is not a philanthropist. Once their money is burned out and the market is taken over, they will start cutting leeks to make a profit.
Customers take a cut from you, asking you to sign up for various memberships, making you unable to resist shopping every day; merchants take another cut from you, starting to charge a commission of more than ten or twenty percent, putting you in a dilemma of no business if you raise prices and no profit if you don't; and the riders can't escape either, as there is always a way to recover the money they spent before by multiples.
Xia Yu saw it clearly and didn't care about the initial subsidy, so he simply decided not to do business in this area until Ji Yang proposed cooperation.
It’s quite nice to make it yourself. After all, there are only these fixed hotels, so you can arrange the delivery in different time periods. You can also ask the hotel to help recycle the pots and other things, which further reduces labor costs.
Such cooperation is essentially mutually beneficial. The hotel has increased its occupancy rate, and the restaurant has increased its turnover. Once the Xia Jia Bao brand becomes well-known across the country, the current scale of takeout will be further expanded.
"Lao Xia, when you are free, come to my house for dinner. My dad wants to meet you."
Ji Yang mentioned eating again, and Xia Yu officially came into Ji Qi's sight.
"My new store is about to open. I've been really busy before the New Year. I'll definitely come and visit you after the New Year."
Xia Yu postponed his meal until after the New Year so that he could have more time.
"It's ok after the Chinese New Year. My dad will cook for us then. He's quite good at cooking."
Ji Yang is still very confident in his father's ability, but Ji Qi is too busy and rarely comes home, so it is difficult for him, as his son, to enjoy the delicious food.
The two hung up the phone after a few words. When Ji Yang mentioned his father, Xia Yu also thought of his parents.
It's time to go back and bring some frozen meat from the freezer so they can taste some foreign flavors.
How do I get back then?
Helicopter?
Or should I just take the bus back?
Xia Yu got the answer without much thought. He planned to take a bus back this time.
Three hours is three hours. He is willing to spend three hours sitting in a car like the Maybach 62S Zeppelin.
"Old Xu, we're going on a business trip tomorrow and will be back in Shanghai the day after tomorrow. Go back and get ready."
"Okay, boss."
The next morning, a Zeppelin drove out of the Binjiang Arc de Triomphe and took Xia Yu to Piling.
Accustomed to riding in helicopters, Xia Yu was also unfamiliar with the land routes. He did not close his eyes to rest, but watched the changing scenery outside the car window the whole time.
Apart from the slightly different perspective, this trip reminded him of every time he took the bus home and back to school.
The air conditioning on the bus was very strong, but the sun was very hot and the seats were not very comfortable. But now he was sitting in the back seat of Zeppelin, feeling more comfortable than in first class.
There is no going back. The poor and ordinary days are gone forever. He, Xia Yu, will eventually become extraordinary.
This is probably the remnant of the middle school mentality after adulthood, and strictly speaking it can't be considered as floating.
Thanks to Xu Guodong's superb driving skills, Xia Yu was only stunned for a moment, and the three-hour drive was over unknowingly.
"Why are you back again?"
Lin Shuqin looked at Xia Yu with a very puzzled tone.
She saw a car going up the mountain and wondered who it was, but she didn't expect it to be this guy.
"Mom, you don't have to say that if you don't want me to. It's too hurtful."
"You are so shameless that you can even run away from a train and hurt others."
Lin Shuqin ruthlessly exposed Xia Yu's past.
"Where's my dad?"
Xia Yu looked behind Lin Shuqin.
Old Xia couldn't see anyone, and the workers couldn't see their shadows either.
"I'm taking care of your pigeons and quails. I've been studying them for the past few days and I'm almost becoming a veterinarian."
Lin Shuqin and Xia Yu complained.
Xia Yu couldn't say anything. After all, it was because he wanted to eat it that Old Xia took the trouble to prepare it.
"By the way, where did you get this car? Did you buy another one?"
"Well, I bought a used car, which wasn't worth much. Sometimes when I'm drunk, it's troublesome to drive myself, so I bought a sedan and hired a full-time driver."
Xia Yu explained with a smug look on his face.
It is true that this Zeppelin is a second-hand car, but to say that it is not worth much is a joke.
"Well, you finally learned to save money. This car looks good, but the lights are a bit old-fashioned, not as good as mine."
Due to her limited knowledge, Lin Shuqin was successfully deceived by Xia Yu. The headlights that seemed a bit old-fashioned to her alone cost more than 200,000 yuan each.
The four lights at the front and back add up to one, and it almost looks like an Audi A7.
Hearing his mother say this, Xia Yu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, but he was also happy with it. If he told the truth, he would definitely be nagged, so it was better not to say it.
"By the way, Mom, I brought back some good stuff this time. You and Dad can try it after a while."
Xia Yu patted the car window as he spoke, and Lao Xu opened the trunk. The insulated box inside was filled with frozen meat, and there was also smoked meat and pre-braised meat next to it.
"What kind of meat is this? It doesn't look like pork, beef, or even lamb."
Lin Shuqin came over to help get the meat.
"It's a rare meat from abroad. You'll know after you eat it."
Xia Yu took the meat to the kitchen with his mother, put it down and ran away.
"Mom, I'm going to go check on Dad first. You soak the frozen meat first."
As a child who grew up in a semi-rural and semi-urban environment, he was quite interested in small animals, so he went over to take a look.
