Gu Jianguo was shocked: "A chain? Opening wonton shops all over the country? How can that make money?"
Although Li Guizhi and Gu Hongjie remained silent, they both looked surprised.
Gu Wei could completely understand their reaction, after all, they didn't know that this franchise model would become ubiquitous in the future.
He patiently explained, "It's definitely going to make money, and the shop won't just sell wontons; there will be other dishes too. If things develop well and we gain brand recognition, we can charge various fees to anyone who wants to franchise. For example, one shop might give me a few hundred yuan, and there are a thousand or ten thousand shops! It'll be hard not to make money..."
Gu Hongjie was quick-witted and soon figured it out.
"My God, don't even mention ten thousand, you'd be rich if you had a thousand!"
Li Guizhi subconsciously swallowed, "This is too much of a bargain."
While Gu Jianguo was awestruck by such a grand blueprint, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Can clothing department stores operate in the same way?"
“Okay.” Gu Wei paused for a moment, “However, this is quite different from the food and beverage industry, and we need to use a different model.”
Furthermore, all of this he mentioned would only begin to take effect after the old man's southern tour in the 1990s.
Otherwise, if you expand and grow aggressively when everyone else is wishing you could shrink back or quit, you will inevitably be met with a severe blow.
Seeing that Gu Wei was unwilling to say more, Gu Jianguo and the others did not press the issue further.
Instead, he went back to running a wonton shop.
Gu Wei took the opportunity to naturally bring up his desire to cooperate with the Shi family.
Gu Jianguo had a high opinion of Shi Xuelin and sympathized with their situation.
How could anyone not understand that Gu Wei was trying to help someone out of kindness?
Ultimately, it depends on whether they know how to seize the opportunity...
A day later, Gu Wei went to the morning market again.
The time slot he chose was near the end of the shopping season, when there were far fewer people buying things.
There were only two or three people eating at the wonton stall.
Shi Xuelin and Shi Qiuyun were overjoyed to finally see the person arrive. They breathed a huge sigh of relief, but were also incredibly excited and eager.
"Brother Gu, you've arrived. Please have a seat."
"Shall I cook you a bowl of wontons first?"
"OK."
Although Gu Wei still felt strange about Shi Qiuyun calling him "elder brother," the age difference was a given, so he could only slowly get used to it.
In fact, Gu Wei could tell at a glance that their condition was not simply due to lack of rest; there were probably other reasons as well.
However, their relationship is not yet at the point where they can have deep conversations, so he pretends not to know.
Shi Qiuyun whispered to Shi Xuelin, her voice barely above a mosquito's buzz, "Dad, they've finally arrived. You'd better hurry."
After they figured it out and made their decision, they realized they hadn't gotten the other person's contact information and could only wait and see.
It was nothing short of anxiety and torment.
In particular, Wang Min's throwing and shoving and her sarcastic remarks made Shi Qiuyun wish she could move out immediately.
"knew."
After Shi Xuelin finished speaking in a low voice, he continued wrapping wontons with his hands, but his eyes glanced at Gu Wei, who was sitting not far away.
Today, this young man is dressed in a clean and refreshing outfit once again.
The material of the clothes and pants, however, was clearly unusual.
And you can tell from his hairstyle that he is a fashion-conscious person.
If you didn't know, you really wouldn't be able to tell at first glance that he's a self-employed individual running a business.
Gu Wei could feel several intense gazes fixed on him from afar. He chuckled to himself, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and strolled over to Shi Xuelin's side. "Teacher Shi, what's your decision?"
Shi Xuelin was struggling with how to bring it up, and the other party's question was exactly what he wanted to hear. He quickly and earnestly replied, "We've thought it through. I wonder how the collaboration would work if I were only responsible for the wonton flavor..."
Gu Wei was overjoyed.
I thought things would take a long time to improve.
I didn't expect them to agree so readily.
He was about to talk about the planned profit sharing when he keenly noticed the eager and complicated look in the eyes of the couple frying dough sticks next to him, as well as their desire to eavesdrop.
"After you pack up, we'll find a convenient place to talk and then discuss the details."
Shi Xuelin received Gu Wei's prompting, glanced to the side, and caught the female stall owner's envious and jealous expression. His brows furrowed and then relaxed. "Okay."
Shi Qiuyun was also paying close attention, listening intently to their conversation, but seeing this, she had to suppress her eagerness.
The couple who ran the fried dough stick stall were extremely frustrated because they didn't hear what they wanted to hear.
They had clearly bought their own fried dough sticks and fried cakes before.
Unfortunately, no matter how much I envied them, I was powerless to do anything about it, since I hadn't managed to tantalize their taste buds.
After Gu Wei and the other customers finished eating their wontons.
The father and daughter quickly packed up their stall and loaded their goods onto the donkey.
Let's go.
"good."
Gu Wei followed beside them, enduring various stares, as they walked towards the parking area.
Upon seeing the white sedan parked beside the curb, Shi Xuelin and Shi Qiuyun exchanged glances and gained a new understanding of his financial strength.
Gu Wei stepped forward, took out his keys, opened the car door, and greeted them with a gentle smile, "You must be tired from setting up your stall. Why don't we get in the car and have a good chat?"
Shi Xuelin, being of a certain age, remained composed, responding with a "okay" before taking his seat in the passenger seat.
Shi Qiuyun rarely had the opportunity to ride in a car. After carefully sitting in the back seat, she put her legs together and nervously and curiously looked around the car.
Gu Wei watched the father and daughter's every move, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
He gathered his thoughts and got straight to the point, "Teacher Shi, here's what I'm thinking about the collaboration: I'll cover the shop and other opening costs, and you'll contribute your technical expertise. As for the profit sharing, let's split it 30/70 for now, with me getting 70% and you getting 30%."
