"here you go!!"
"We hope that under our management, the restaurant will become even more prosperous!"
Zhiyin patted Manager Jin on the shoulder with satisfaction, and couldn't help but feel pleased.
She suddenly thought of the hundreds of chickens and ducks she raised, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything.
After all, these are enough for her own dry pot restaurant.
We should still buy the restaurant, but we could remind the village head to tell the villagers to raise more chickens, ducks, geese, and fruit.
That way, if she opens other stores in the future, she can help them out by buying directly from them.
"I'm really looking forward to it!"
When this topic came up, Manager Jin couldn't stay calm; he couldn't suppress the urge to smile.
"By the way, Yinyin, have Manager Wang and the others come looking for you?"
"They came to the store this morning, wanting to discuss cooperation with you, but I told them you were out on business as you instructed."
Suddenly, Manager Jin seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked curiously.
At the same time, he couldn't help but laugh smugly to himself, thinking that he was indeed clever and had foresight.
The thought of those shopkeepers who used to look down on him, especially the arrogant Shopkeeper Baili, who became envious and obsequious when he saw his business was doing well, constantly inquiring about him both openly and secretly, couldn't help but make him laugh.
"No, but no rush, let them air out for a bit..."
Zhiyin smiled gently. How could she not know that these food industry managers were itching to get started and were probably regretting it to the core?
They couldn't wait to sign a cooperation agreement with Zhiyin, otherwise they were always afraid that if Zhiyin, this big fat sheep, cooperated with someone else, they would lose their chance.
But a true connoisseur doesn't care...
…
For the next week or so, Zhiyin was busy at Zhiji Milk Tea Shop and Zhiji Youkelai Restaurant.
It's mainly in milk tea shops, since the staff aren't quite used to this pace yet, so they need the help of kindred spirits.
During this time, the shopkeepers who had previously treated Zhiyin to guests, including the arrogant Baili shopkeeper who had looked down on Zhiyin, all came to the milk tea shop with a smug look on their faces, trying to strike up a conversation with Zhiyin.
Zhiyin looked at his fawning face and immediately clicked her tongue twice in her heart, but she did not neglect him any longer.
After all, they've come knocking on our door several times, and we both want to work in the same county, so we can't go too far.
He greeted them with a smile, "Manager Wang, Manager Xu, hello! It's been a long time!"
After saying that, he looked at Manager Baili with a half-smile, "Oh ho, isn't this Manager Baili? What brings you here?"
Although Zhiyin didn't say anything offensive, Manager Baili felt ashamed for some reason and wished he could slap himself twice.
I also wish I could go back a few days and stop myself from saying some nonsense.
At this moment, he was no longer arrogant as before. He immediately gave a wry smile and became extremely enthusiastic, "Oh, Boss Zhi, what are you saying? Don't belittle me. I was blind before. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."
Manager Baili had indeed looked down on Zhiyin before, thinking that she was just making a show of it.
But when they witnessed firsthand how Zhiji Restaurant became a sensation due to its novel dishes and fresh combination of eating and playing, attracting everyone and even tourists from other places, they were completely stunned.
That's something you have to admit!
If the dry pot restaurant was just lucky, then the fact that the milk tea shop and the Youkelai Restaurant, which were on the verge of closing down, have been revitalized and started to sell like hotcakes is truly amazing!
He truly felt inferior!
He is a very arrogant man, but he also understands the situation! He knows that Zhiyin is now the one who appears out of nowhere and can disrupt the market landscape.
Judging from the dismal state of his business these days, he cannot compete with Zhiyin on his own and will only suffer a terrible fate!
Therefore, he decisively chose to gravitate towards her, as clinging to her was the most important thing.
After all, who would turn down money?
Seeing this, Zhiyin smiled and stopped criticizing him. Instead, she looked at the other shopkeepers who were eagerly asking about cooperation.
Seeing them staring intently at their confidant, chatting away enthusiastically with saliva flying everywhere, he quickly gestured to them, "Stop, I know what you're thinking."
"But I really don't have time right now. Even if I told you now, I wouldn't have the energy to prepare."
After saying that, seeing the disappointment in everyone's eyes, Zhiyin added, "How about this, my family will be moving in a few days, around the beginning of April. You can come then, and I'll prepare everything in advance."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeepers present immediately lowered their eyes and began to ponder. It was only the beginning of March, and there was still about a month left until April.
Although he was still very anxious and impatient, he nodded when he saw the determination in his friend's eyes.
"By the way, fellow shopkeepers, I know that you mostly run restaurants, noodle shops, pastry shops, and the like."
"Especially restaurants, but if you want to cooperate, you can't open any more restaurants. After all, one in each county is enough, and more than that won't do good business."
"Moreover, what I want to create is a diverse and flourishing food industry. The restaurant already has customers. Unless you want to be the head of a branch, if you want to be the head of the main store, you can only choose one from the remaining options such as boiled fish, grilled fish, hot pot, etc."
"So you need to think this through beforehand..."
Zhiyin answered without hesitation, after all, she didn't want too many duplicate stores.
What does "only one option can be chosen" mean?
Manager Baili frowned instantly, sensing something was off.
Zhiyin immediately began to explain, and at the same time, she roughly recounted everything she had told Manager Jin about her vision for the future and her requirements for partners.
Upon hearing this, the shopkeepers finally understood. They looked at each other in disbelief, feeling greatly shocked.
At the same time, he began to consider the matter in his mind, becoming somewhat hesitant.
After all, Zhiyin is a big boss. If they cooperate, they will basically have to listen to Zhiyin and follow her lead.
However, Zhiyin did not treat them unfairly, splitting the money they earned in half.
"It's okay, go back and think about it slowly, and give me your answer later."
Zhiyin greeted everyone with a smile and led them out.
…
Time flies, and Zhiyin's three shops are becoming increasingly popular.
This even aroused the dissatisfaction of the gamblers.
Looking at the gambling den, which was usually bustling and noisy but now almost deserted, the gambling den owner's face was extremely dark.
The gambling den owner was a man who was probably only in his early twenties, burly and with a hideous scar on the left side of his face.
He paced back and forth, thinking about the business that had been losing money in recent days. Finally, he gritted his teeth, looked at the thugs behind him, and waved to them.
"Come with me, I want to see just how attractive that mahjong is? It's causing us to lose so many customers!"
"It's clearly a run-down restaurant, yet it dares to steal our business."
