Chapter 97: A New Look
Although the agreement is only two pages long, which is much shorter than those complicated medical contracts, it is also very standardized.
After reading it, my cousin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows again, "It seems that Boss Gu is very well prepared and very professional."
"There is an agreement, which is good for both you and me."
"That's right." The aunt checked each item one by one and found that Gu Qingshi's agreement was well written. It did not just protect himself, but protected the rights and interests of each party. It also had their respective obligations and responsibilities, and was clear and concise.
After reading it twice, my aunt found no problem and formally signed the cooperation agreement.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
After signing in black and white, Gu Qingshi treated his aunt to a meal to celebrate having his first franchisee.
My cousin is a businesswoman. She has been to many big cities and eaten many specialties. She didn't pay much attention to Gu Qingshi's offer to treat her to a meal. Even though she had heard people say that the food at Gu's Kitchen was delicious, she didn't take it too seriously.
She thought that the people in the county were just ignorant and had never eaten any good food, so they thought everything was delicious. It happened to be dinner time, so she stayed for the sake of future cooperation and to give face to Gu Qingshi.
When ordering, I saw that the dishes were mostly homely dishes, so I just ordered a few at random, and when I saw that customers continued to come in, I raised an eyebrow.
Until the dishes came, simple steamed fish, stir-fried chicken, stir-fried lotus root, and a sour radish and duck soup, each dish brought a rich aroma.
My aunt saw that it was delicious, so she tried a bite. She paused and her eyes lit up. How could it be so delicious?
The simple lotus root is crispy and sweet, very refreshing. The stir-fried chicken and steamed fish retain the freshness of chicken and fish without a trace of fishy smell. The sour radish and old duck soup is sour and spicy and refreshing. The sour and spicy soup is enough to be eaten with rice.
Once my cousin started eating, she forgot about everything else and just wanted to eat. After she finished eating, she realized that she was very full. If there was no other place to eat, she would have drunk the whole pot of soup.
"Did I eat all this?" When she came to her senses, she found that she was sweating all over and had eaten the amount for three meals in one meal. Besides being unable to believe it, my aunt felt an unprecedented sense of refreshment.
This feeling of fullness and satisfaction cannot be replaced by anything else.
Looking at the customers next to her who were also concentrating on eating, my aunt expressed her understanding. She finally understood why Gu’s Kitchen’s business was so good. It’s because the food is delicious!
My cousin, who previously thought that people in Mingchang County were probably ignorant, suddenly didn't want to leave at this moment. There were many delicious foods in the city, but none of them was as good as Gu's Kitchen.
The look in the cousin's aunt's eyes when she looked at Gu Qingshi changed again. She didn't expect to have such a big gain today. First it was the whitening cream, and now it was Gu's Kitchen.
Whether it is vegetables or whitening cream, they all have one characteristic: they look ordinary at first glance, but after using and eating them, you will find that they are rare good things with super value.
"Boss Gu's business model is beyond my expectation. If I had a restaurant like this, I would definitely raise the prices so that people would have trouble getting a meal."
Such delicious dishes will surely not be out of stock, so she must be thinking of selling them at a high price so that people will beg to eat them.
However, doing so can only serve a small part of the market, but Gu Qingshi's approach is to offer low prices to everyone. She understands what Gu Qingshi is thinking and her business philosophy.
"I believe that our whitening cream will enter thousands of households in the future."
"I believe that, too."
The aunt who was slapped in the face left satisfied, and Gu Qingshi officially entered the skin care product industry.
As the business gradually grew and she had franchisees, she had to speed up and consider opening a store.
But there is a more important thing at the moment, which is supply. At present, there is only her and Bai Xue, and they can't supply enough, so they have to recruit people and find a safe production space.
Gu Qingshi had run a restaurant for a while and got to know some people. He asked where there were houses for rent and also talked about recruiting people.
Soon many people knew that Gu Qingshi was recruiting, and many people came to ask. After the interviews, Gu Qingshi kept those who he thought were suitable, including a niece who was brought over from her hometown by her aunt.
My aunt had been at home before, and now that the pig has been killed, she came up to help when she saw that Gu Qingshi and the others were working very hard. My aunt has a very straightforward and generous personality, or should I say, she is fierce, and she is good at talking, so she is very suitable for doing business.
After my aunt came, she helped a lot. She could look after the restaurant and help set up the stall to do business when Gu Qingshi was busy. She had already received the whitening cream given by Bai Xue from Gu Qingshi.
After applying it, she became whiter and her spots became lighter. She said that how could such a good thing not sell? She kept her word and completely opened up the market of people of the same age when she set up a stall. As long as you stopped to look, you could basically not escape her eloquence.
With the help of his aunt, Gu Qingshi looked for a place to rent, but he couldn't find a suitable one. However, he heard that the semi-abandoned factory next to Gu's Kitchen was about to be renovated. Gu Qingshi inquired about it and finally rented it. He decided to renovate it so that it could be used as a production plant.
During this time, Lu Xiaozhu somehow heard about her recruiting and mustered up the courage to ask her if she could come to work.
She is timid and quiet, but it is impossible for her to stay away from work forever. Just when she heard that Gu Qingshi was recruiting, she wanted to give it a try.
Gu Qingshi briefly interviewed her and accepted her. "Okay, come to work in a couple of days. The factory is being renovated. I promised you that I would make an acne cream that is effective for acne removal. Now it seems that you can personally participate in the research and development and production."
Lu Xiaozhu's eyes lit up, "Great, I will try my best!"
Compared to Gu Qingshi's busy job of recruiting people and renting factories to expand production, the situation at the department store is relatively bad.
Mingchang County is not big and its market share is limited. Gu Qingshi has taken away a group of customers in the moisturizer market, so they are inevitably affected.
Ma Li has suffered a lot since she was kicked out. She used to think that her uncle and aunt treated her like their own daughter and that she was comparable to Lu Xiaozhu, but reality gave her a hard slap in the face.
She used to be so proud that she even deliberately hinted to Lu Xiaozhu that her uncle and aunt liked her more, but in the end, only their biological daughter was their treasure.
Not only did they kick her out, they also spread the news back to her hometown and told everyone that she had nothing to do with them anymore.
Ma Li was busy looking for a place to live and also encountered some problems at work. Everything was going wrong.
In the past, she had her uncle and aunt, and not only were their places to live and their food well arranged for her, she didn’t even have to worry about what to wear. But now she has nothing, and her quality of life has plummeted.
Unfortunately, she only spent 100 yuan of her saved money to spend with Gu Qingshi, and the rest was spent on renting a house and buying things. She was penniless.
