Shen Jun was impressed by Chu Yu's long-term vision. Shen Jun was just an ordinary woman and hadn't spent too much money on Chu Yu. But Chu Yu had always had a long-term vision. Back when house prices were cheap, Shen Jun thought that houses in the city were too expensive and that she would have to take out a loan.
It was Chu Yu who persuaded her to buy a house, and as Chu Yu had predicted, the house price did indeed rise steadily.
Chu Yu bought several apartments in Beijing at exorbitant prices, demonstrating that her foresight is indeed beyond question.
"How's the progress at the cosmetics factory?"
The cosmetics factory has a dedicated contractor. The blueprints were finalized after Chu Yu reviewed them. The location of the land is good, and Chu Yu's construction plan is quite modern.
However, no matter how well a cosmetics factory is built, it's still just the same old thing.
Appearance does not determine a company's future prospects.
The most important thing is what kind of products the factory can produce.
Mandarin skincare products have already made a name for themselves in China, and they are just waiting for the skincare products to be launched. The research and development of hyaluronic acid has already taken a direction. Now, several months have passed, and according to Da Lei's report, they are repeatedly screening oils and adjusting parameters.
The development of new ingredients is not something that can be accomplished overnight, so Chu Yu is not in a hurry.
The event at the entrance was lively and bustling. After Shen Jun directed the workers to clean the store, she went back to the break room for a nap. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the workers went back to work one after another to prepare for dinner.
Around 5 p.m., it gradually got dark, and more and more people entered the store. Around 7 p.m., the peak period was reached, and people started to queue at the door.
"Boss, how long until it's our turn?"
"Yes, your business has been booming since you opened."
"Are we going to miss out on food today?"
Chu Yu smiled and, following Yorkham's method, prepared candy, pastries, and hot porridge for the customers in line. "Everyone, calm down. It's our first day of business, and we didn't expect it to be so good. Logically speaking, my shop is quite large, with seating for nearly two hundred customers, but the buffet table turnover is slow. Some customers have already finished eating, but they still want to sit and rest, and have a meal when they get hungry before leaving. We can't just kick them out, can we?"
She greeted everyone with a smile and was beautiful. Moreover, Chu Jiali prepared exceptionally good things for the customers in line. Since they were eating her food, who would dare to complain about her?
The guests were too embarrassed to get angry.
"Actually, we can urge the customers who have finished eating to let those of us who come later in go in sooner."
Chu Yu smiled and said, "Our dining time is two hours. If it exceeds the time limit, we will remind them appropriately, but we can't be too harsh. After all, they come to our store to spend money, and we are in business. We don't want to offend our customers. How about this, starting tomorrow, I will try to put a TV in the guest waiting area at the entrance, so that everyone won't be bored while waiting."
The guests all thought it was a good idea. "The boss has so many ideas! There's food, drinks, and entertainment. Who would dare say your place is bad?"
"Exactly, the boss is very transparent in his business dealings."
"Boss, is your food really all-you-can-eat? I saw some customers with menus, what's going on?"
Chu Yu then explained to him the strategy of combining ordering food with providing financial assistance:
"Take steak for example. If it's cooked in advance, it won't taste good when it gets cold. The steaks at our restaurant are made for you after you place your order, and then served to you. In short, when you come to our restaurant, you only need to pay 18 yuan. Everything else is free. You can eat and drink as much as you want, it's all free!"
One sentence was enough to make everyone eager to try it out.
Buffets give people a strange sense of satisfaction, making them think they can eat the restaurant out of business. But in reality, people's appetites are limited. Restaurants buy food in bulk, so they can get cheaper prices than if customers buy individually.
For some big eaters, buffet restaurants can indeed lose money.
However, this only applies to a small minority; most women and children don't spend much money on food.
Overall, buffet restaurants are still profitable!
"Chu Yu!"
Mi Fei also brought a group of people to show their support. He glanced at the entrance and was utterly impressed. Chu Yu's restaurant designs were incredibly avant-garde; Yorkham was like that, and Chu Jiali was the same.
Putting everything else aside, just look at Chu Jiali's storefront; it's more luxurious than the best hotels in Beijing.
This entire floor-to-ceiling window allows you to see right inside.
Even customers who aren't hungry are tempted to go in and eat when they see others getting up, sitting down, and taking food.
"Dai Donglin even sent a few of his buddies to support you, but who knew your business would be so successful."
Chu Yu smiled apologetically: "There are no seats available right now. If you had told me you were coming earlier, I would have saved two good tables for you. Look at the mess this has made... If you want to get in line, you'll have to wait until at least 8:30."
8:30? This many people on the first day of opening? There will be no shortage of people in the future.
Each seat can turn over one or two tables every night, and it's no problem to have four or five hundred guests a night. At 18 yuan per guest, that's seven or eight thousand yuan a night. And this isn't even on the weekend; there are even more people on weekends!
Even if the profit margin of a buffet is very small, you can still make two thousand yuan a day, right?
In business, it's not the crowds that are scary, it's the lack of customers. The longer the queue, the more people love to come here.
Looking at the crowd inside, Mi Fei knew that Chu Yu had made another successful business deal.
"Sister-in-law, can you give us some advice? What are you always thinking? You seem to make money no matter what you do! Take this buffet bar, for example. I'm thinking, with the appetites of us grown men, we have abalone, oysters, lobster, steak, fried chicken, and barbecue, and then we order a few bottles of wine. How much money can you make in one night?"
Chu Yu smiled; there are definitely tricks to doing business.
