“It’s not that I’m not optimistic, but I just can’t be too hasty.
We can make preparations for both situations. While doing business here, we can look for a shop over there first.
Buy what needs to be bought, renovate what needs to be renovated, train the staff that needs to be trained, and investigate the market that needs to be investigated. Once the time is right, launch a full-scale attack.
Try to take every step carefully. Besides, these boys still need to continue their studies. This shop is just a training ground. We can't put the cart before the horse.
Of course, this is just my personal opinion. I still need to seek the opinions of the children on what to do specifically.
We agreed not to interfere with their business at will, so I must keep my word. What I said is just a reference and may not be implemented.
Xiaoyao Hou nodded and said, "This is a safe method!"
Qiao Xin knew that everyone wanted to seize this brief period of peace to accumulate some capital.
"However, there is another way to make money quickly. Find a partner!"
Xu Can was very puzzled: "Aren't we already cooperating? Why do we still need to find a partner?"
"That's different. You guys are considered veterans. The next partners we look for won't be able to compare with you."
Qiao Xin explained the cooperation model of modern franchise stores to the children present.
The first thing that came to Guanjianze’s mind was: Isn’t this just getting something for nothing?
Qiao Jilang was not happy.
"How can this be considered as getting something for nothing? As the headquarters, we provide personnel training, technology transfer, and raw material supply. Isn't this worth anything?"
Qiao Sanlang first thought of the risk issue.
"A recipe is passed down for three generations. If my grandmother passed this recipe on, and someone were to go back on their word, our loss would be even greater.
Besides, some places are far away from us and we may not be able to manage them. It is inevitable that a dead rat will spoil the whole pot of soup."
"So, we sign an agreement once a year, and we can send people to inspect at any time. If they don't meet the requirements, we have the right to terminate the cooperation first."
"But even so, the recipe won't last long!"
“It doesn’t matter, I didn’t intend for the recipe to remain secret for long.
Without the ingredients we provided, they couldn't make the same taste. Besides, even if the other party regretted it, it would take three to five years. The franchise fees we collected in the past few years are enough to make up for the loss.
We can also stipulate in the agreement that if the cooperation is terminated, the other party cannot sell any dishes similar to ours within five years."
Having said that, Qiao Xin has given them enough confidence.
Xu Can touched his chin and said, "It seems that we need to think carefully about our cooperation agreement."
Xiaoyao Hou and King Qi were jealous of Qiao Xin's chefs and dishes, so they asked Qiao Xin if they could buy a portion separately. Especially the sauce, could they also order five or six kilograms?
"You can talk to them about this. All the ingredients and seasonings in the dishes in this area of Beijing are under the responsibility of this store."
Xiaoyao Hou was extorted several thousand taels by his own son. After ordering a year's supply of seasonings and more than a dozen dishes from Defulou, he paid the money with satisfaction.
The conversation in the room did not last long before someone came to report that the young man's family had arrived downstairs.
Qiao Yunting stood up and said, "Mother, I'll take them downstairs to check out the situation first."
Qiao Xin nodded and said, "Go ahead and take the kids to see it for themselves!"
Xiaoyao Hou also stood up and said, "After all, this matter was caused by this kid of mine. I will also go to join in the fun, so that those old foxes won't look down on you because you are so young."
As soon as the Duke of Zhenguo came in, the messy scene in the room was presented to him so openly.
His two sons, one was standing, and the other was half lying down with his hands covering his chest.
Seeing his eyes looking over, she hurried forward to greet him.
Before he could say anything, he heard a commotion outside the door.
"Where's my son? What happened?"
． ． ． ． ．
Qiao Yunting and Xiaoyao Hou sat in the courtyard with their swords and golden horses.
Seeing the person coming, Xiaoyao Hou didn't even move his butt, but raised his eyelids and said, "What's going on, gentlemen? Can't you see it?"
The visitor's face darkened. Seeing that the evidence was there and that the Duke of Zhenguo and his son hadn't said anything, it was not a good idea for him to bluff any more.
Seeing that everyone had finally quieted down, Qiao Yunting stood up and told the housekeeper Yu to serve tea to everyone. Then he winked at Qiao Dalang!
You can start your performance now.
Qiao Dalang walked out confidently. Facing these bigwigs who had great influence in the court, he showed no fear at all. He explained the matter clearly and stated his demand for compensation at the end.
Some people were immediately unhappy when they heard him asking for 20,000 taels of silver in compensation. The Qiao family was clearly asking for too much. It was just a few damaged tables and chairs, how could it be worth so much silver!
Seeing them getting angry, Qiao Dalang did not stop but said slowly, "You gentlemen can go and ask around. Our Qiao family definitely did not take advantage of others' misfortune.
Not to mention that your son's behavior has ruined all our hard work, this shop will be closed for at least half a month.
The place was originally packed with guests today, and everyone saw what is happening now.
These invisible losses are the most serious. It is still unknown whether this store can continue to operate in the future. It was originally a good treasure pot, but it was broken by you. If it were you adults, you would have come to the door to beat you up.
Grandmother and Third Uncle are kindhearted. Since we are all officials in the same court, we are willing to give you a chance. If you think that the Qiao family's proposal is not good, then it is okay to let the government handle it. "
Xiaoyao Hou slammed the table and said, "You are dithering like a woman.
If you don't want to take it, just say so. I don't need this little money.
Report to the police, report to the police!
If the government doesn't care, I will go to His Majesty to talk to him tomorrow. Is there no place in this world where one can seek justice?
Yuan Wenmu, you old bastard, stop pretending to be dead. Why is your third son biting my son like a mad dog? Is it endless?
Do you want to take care of it or not? You are reluctant to do it, right? I am warning you, this is the last time. If you find him doing bad things again, I will break his legs myself. Don't say I didn't show you mercy then."
The Duke of Zhenguo was scolded and pointed at his nose. His face was purple and he said unwillingly, "When did I say I don't care? Don't push your luck. You haven't hurt anyone yet. Just stop while you're ahead."
"You farted, and you still want to hurt someone..."
Everyone stared in amazement at the two family heads, who were nearly fifty years old, greeting each other's families and arguing fiercely.
Qiao Dalang poked his finger at Xu Can, who was watching the fun with excitement in his eyes.
"Don't care?"
"What do you care? Don't you see they are enjoying it?
It’s okay. My dad and the Duke of Zhenguo are close friends who grew up together. It’s common for them to quarrel when they meet.
They were born with different auras. I can't remember any deep hatred between them.
That idiot Yuan Jinzhou is probably being used as a gun again.
