Chapter 149: Attracting Investment
Gong Qi brought various sauces.
Xia Ruwan tasted them one by one and became interested.
"I heard you say he's a young boss, which means he's not very old. I wonder if I have a chance to make friends with this clever man?"
"Ms. Xia, please wait a moment." Boss Ning bowed, turned around and walked out to the next room.
When Boss Ning came in, Qin Huiyin and the others were slowly tasting the roast duck, as if they knew nothing about what was happening next door. In fact, everyone's mind was as clear as a mirror, after all, there was no sound insulation here.
"Young boss, how's the taste today?" Boss Ning asked with a smile.
Qin Huiyin smiled: "The chef's skills are getting better and better. Boss Ning, you have to raise the chef's salary, otherwise if he runs away, you won't be able to find such a good roast duck chef."
"The salary has been raised a long time ago. If it hadn't been raised, he would have been angry a long time ago. Business has been much better recently. We roast twice as many roast ducks every day as before. Not only did we raise the salary of the chef, we also hired two apprentices for him."
"Boss Ning is generous to his people, no wonder he is so prosperous."
"Boss, to be honest, your sauce is really great. Recently, many people have come to me to buy sauce. I only sell one or two bottles, but a wealthy investor came next door and wants to discuss a bigger deal. Do you want to make some contact with her?"
"Boss Ning, if I agree to sell the sauce to the other party, your roast duck restaurant will no longer be exclusive. This business will definitely be good for me, but it will not be good for you. Why are you still helping me?"
"They own a restaurant. Even if they buy these sauces, they will only use them to season the dishes. It won't affect my business. Looking at the entire county, only my roast duck is the best. Even if other roast duck restaurants buy sauces, it will be useless." Boss Ning was full of confidence. "Besides, I believe the young boss doesn't want to lose me as a customer."
"I really want to meet this wealthy lady. Please, Mr. Ning, introduce her to me!"
Boss Ning took Qin Huiyin to the next room.
Others wanted to follow, but were stopped by Qin Huiyin.
The other person was next door, and she was a girl, so it was enough for her to go and meet her alone.
She told the others to continue eating and drinking without waiting for her.
When Qin Huiyin opened the door and saw the face of Miss Xia, she was surprised. This lady was none other than the pale yellow girl whom she had just glanced at on the side of the road.
"Are you the little boss that Boss Ning mentioned?" Xia Ruwan obviously recognized her and laughed. "Sister, please sit down."
Qin Huiyin sat down opposite Xia Ruwan and said, "Is Miss Xia the lady from Xiazhuang?"
"That's right." Xia Ruwan admitted generously. "I'm sorry for making a fool of myself with the farce in the alley today."
Qin Huiyin was surprised.
Xia Ruwan smiled faintly: "I was there at the time, but I left before my sister."
Qin Huiyin smiled: "Miss Xia's family's restaurant business is very good, and there is no need for these sauces to enhance the business. I would like to discuss another cooperation with Miss Xia. Is Miss Xia interested in listening?"
"Sister, tell me what you have to say." Xia Ruwan poured some tea and placed it in front of Qin Huiyin.
"The hotel run by Miss Xia's family is too high-end, and only rich people can afford it. I want to open a restaurant that ordinary people can afford, but I don't have enough capital. If Miss Xia can invest 1,000 taels, it will be considered as your investment, and I will give you 20% of the dividends earned in the future."
"A restaurant that ordinary people can afford shouldn't make much money! Even if you give me 20%, when will I be able to get back the money I invested?"
"Two months."
"Ha..." Xia Ruwan covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister, I like you very much, but you like to joke too much."
Xia Ruwan is different from Madam Xia. Madam Xia holds the power of the family and has been in a high position for many years. She has a kind of aura of authority without anger. Although Xia Ruwan has been running the store with her mother since she was a child, she looks more gentle, but this kind of gentleness is not weak, but gentle with strength, and her eyes are shrewd.
Qin Huiyin had just listened for a long time in the next room, and at first she thought that this was a sudden business that came to her door. If she took this big order, the money would definitely roll in. However, when she heard that Xia Ruwan was the eldest daughter of the largest restaurant, she had other ideas in her mind.
She keeps setting up a stall like this all day long. When will she be able to make a fortune? No matter how good the business of a small stall is, it can only accommodate a small number of customers and there is not much room for development.
Since Miss Xia is not short of money, then treat her as a financial sponsor and see if you can get some investment money. If you can get this amount of money, you can own your own store in the city.
"Miss Xia, you haven't tasted my food yet, right?" Qin Huiyin said, "If you had tasted it, you wouldn't think I was joking."
"I just came back, and I really don't understand the changes in the past two years. Maybe after I understand it, I will really be willing to discuss this business with my sister, but not now." Xia Ruwan smiled.
"Okay, let's talk about the business that Miss Xia is interested in first!" Qin Huiyin said, "If you are interested in our sauce, I will sell it to you at the price I sell to Boss Ning."
Xia Ruwan was a straightforward person. When she was interested in the sauce, she signed the documents and paid the deposit. When she learned that her family did not have a carriage to deliver the goods, she promised to send someone to pick up the goods in person.
This saved Qin Huiyin a lot of trouble. Similarly, the next two days would be even busier. But it was no big deal, just hire a few more people.
Qin Huiyin returned to the next room. Li Taohua complained: "This Miss Xia is really short-sighted. She actually didn't agree to my lady's proposal."
"Mom, it's normal for her not to agree." Qin Huiyin said with a smile, "If she agrees right away, I will doubt whether she is a qualified partner."
"Why do you want to cooperate with her?" Li Taohua picked up the roast duck for Qin Huiyin, brushed it with sauce, added side dishes, and wrapped it in dough.
"Perhaps he saw her mother's methods, knew her family background, and saw that she was attractive, so he wanted to bring her along to expand the business. She has money, and I have skills, so this is the best combination."
She could also save money to rent a shop, but the rent of shops in the city is expensive, and decoration and publicity all require money. She is too weak now, and it will take two or three years to save this start-up capital for business. If she attracts investors, she can achieve financial freedom in advance. Thinking in this way, attracting an investor who is pleasing to the eye and making profits together is the best way out at present.
"Yinyin, how much did she sign?" Tang Luwu asked.
"Five hundred cans, delivered in three batches, to be delivered within ten days." Qin Huiyin said, "But after tasting all the sauces, she only wanted black bean sauce and crab roe sauce, 250 cans of each."
"Each can of crab sauce costs sixty coins, so two hundred and fifty cans is..." Li Taohua counted on her fingers, "fifteen taels of silver."
Everyone was shocked and overjoyed.
