Ever since I invited Ji Yang to dinner last week, he came over every day to eat for free in the following few days, just like He Jiawen in the past.
But eating is just for fun. Now He Jiawen has gotten over the novelty, and Ji Yang will probably be tired of eating it for another dozen meals!
Looking at Ji Yang who was eating voraciously, Xia Yu thought so.
It seems a bit difficult. This guy has been studying abroad for too long, and he needs to make up for all the Chinese meals he missed.
"Why are you looking at me? There are rice grains on my face."
Ji Yang looked up for the first time and happened to meet Xia Yu's gaze.
"No, but why didn't you bring Linlin here?"
Xia Yu asked about Linlin. The girl looked a little bit unruly, but she was actually a nice person.
"Her school is too far away, and I'm too lazy to pick her up. I'll just let her eat in the cafeteria."
This should be said by my brother, not my cousin.
However, Ji Yang is really lazy to a certain extent. He only uses such an expensive car to play with it when he books the racetrack, and rarely uses it for commuting.
If Xia Yu didn't have three Bugattis, his mileage in a month would probably be more than Ji Yang's in half a year.
"Just wait, my new store will open at the end of the year, and then we'll offer takeout, so she can eat there at school."
Xia Jia Bao offers delivery service, but only at the main store in Shanghai.
"That's great, but I always have the driver come directly to the store to buy it, not order takeout."
"Then why did you come here? Why didn't you let your driver take it home and eat it?"
Xia Yu pretended to be angry. This guy had been eating and drinking for free at his place for a long time.
"Hey, it's embarrassing to eat here, but it would be too much to take it away."
Ji Yang smiled naively. Xia Yu just wanted to say that he had never seen such a shameless person who knowingly committed a crime.
"I'm not kidding you anymore. I have a collaboration I want to discuss with you."
Ji Yang wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and said seriously.
"cooperate?"
"Yes, cooperation. You talked to me about Xia Jia Bao before. I went back and thought about its model carefully. I found that it is very convenient to do takeout. Can we give priority to customers of our mid- to high-end hotel brands?"
High-end hotels all have their own catering departments, but the food they provide is all the same and can only be said to be neither good nor bad.
People have to stay in hotels when they travel. After checking in, those who want convenience will eat directly in the hotel, while those who don’t mind the trouble will go out to find food.
Now that the takeout industry is emerging, hotel customers have one more option, but different customers have different spending power.
Customers staying in mid-range and economy hotels will choose takeout from McDonald's and KFC for the sake of hygiene, while customers staying in high-end hotels have fewer choices.
You can't let them eat hot pot takeout from the bottom of the lake every day, right?
Hotpot can be delivered now, and so can Xiajiabao, which tastes even better, and it wants to capture more of the market.
Ji Yang's idea was good. Customers who could afford to stay in a room costing over a thousand yuan already had considerable purchasing power. As long as they could win over the lazy ones among them, perhaps the performance of the Shanghai headquarters could double.
No matter how big the main store is, there are only so many tables for dine-in, so it’s a different story for take-out.
In the case of overcapacity in the early stage of the production base, you can consider the hotel market and achieve higher performance for each store.
"Old Ji, aren't you afraid that I'll steal business from your catering department?"
"Hey, the hotel's catering department's business mainly comes from wedding banquets. How many guests staying here are willing to attend banquets? We might as well use it as an experiment to see if there's any possibility of successful cooperation."
Ji Yang did not say everything he wanted to say, because although the initial ideas were good, the implementation would lead to another situation. So to be precise, he was just exploring a possibility.
"It will definitely work. Although Xia Jia Bao is a chain store, I guarantee that the taste can be 80% of Xia Ji's."
Xia Yu said confidently.
"And if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of it. I can offer a special meal for one person, something that even your mid-range hotel customers can afford."
"If we can cooperate to this extent, the probability of success will be much greater."
Ji Yang also nodded.
"But will your father agree?"
Xia Yu asked with some concern. After all, Ji Yang's father was still in charge of the group.
"I spoke to him on the phone yesterday. He said we should test it out in Shanghai first. If the results are good, we can expand nationwide. Of course, that will have to wait until your restaurants are all over the country."
Ji Yang's father is still very open-minded. Many business operations are first tested on a fixed basis before considering whether to promote them. However, if it is in Shanghai, failure will not have much impact on the group. On the contrary, regardless of success or failure, it can train his son. This is the reason why he agreed.
"Then I have to speed up the expansion!"
"As long as you have the ability."
When they talked about this, both of them laughed. Xia Yu felt that Ji Yang had not eaten in vain for so many days.
After discussing some details and finalizing some things, Ji Yang left first. Xia Yu returned to the New World headquarters and told Xue Ping about this matter.
In order to take into account the takeaway market, the Shanghai main store needs to add more kitchen staff, but no adjustments are required in the other four cities.
In short, the employees under him became busy again.
Xia Yu did not slack off and worked for several days until all the takeaway packaging boxes, bags, and tableware were finalized, and then he placed an order with the manufacturer for production.
After finishing all these, some adjustments had to be made at the production base. Xia Yu flew back to Maoshan by helicopter to coordinate everything.
This busy period lasted until mid-November, and the maple trees throughout the Magic City turned red.
Xia Yu saw this scene from the helicopter. He didn't expect that the maple trees would turn red as soon as he had some free time. He also wondered if the maple leaves on Jiang Baiying's side on the other side of the earth were red?
"Crack~~"
A blood-stained maple leaf was frozen on the phone screen, and Jiang Baiying, dressed in autumn clothes, put down her phone.
She had to take a picture of such beautiful maple leaves and send it to her senior.
"Buzz~Buzz~~"
Just as Jiang Baiying was thinking this, her cell phone vibrated.
Senior: [Picture]...
There was a WeChat notification on the lock screen. The senior had sent her a message, and it was a picture.
Don't know what the picture is?
Jiang Baiying unlocked the door and saw a bright red maple leaf dancing in the autumn wind, looking very beautiful under the warm sunshine.
The second photo that follows is taken from a downward perspective, encompassing the entire maple forest.
It was Wanfeng Farm, and the senior didn’t forget our appointment to enjoy the maple leaves together!
Jiang Baiying recognized at a glance that this was her Wanfeng Farm, and at this time of year, the leaves of every maple tree had turned red.
A feeling called touching slowly emerged in her heart, and Jiang Baiying also sent the photos she had just taken to Xia Yu.
Since we can’t enjoy the maple leaves together, I will use my eyes to see all these fiery red flowers for you.
