"Boss Liu's shop is beautifully decorated, and the snacks are amazing. I'm sure his monthly income is no less than two hundred taels."
An Lin's words were half flattering, and he deliberately said more.
Liu Qinghuan laughed and said, "It's true that different industries are like different worlds. Boss An really doesn't understand the restaurant business. I own four restaurants, and this one's business is average. I can still earn five or six hundred taels of silver a month."
Liu Qinghuan had said that the price was low. After all, coffee beans were something that could be exchanged in stores, and for her, that was pure profit. If she handed it over to An Lin in the future, she would definitely have to set a cost price.
When An Lin heard this, his hand holding the cappuccino trembled and he almost spilled it.
Is this considered normal business? How much money can that big restaurant make in a day?
"I wonder how much this cup costs?"
"Five taels of silver."
An Lin swallowed his saliva.
Even if you are Longjing, you don’t sell it like this.
"That……"
"The raw materials cost only one penny, and after deducting the labor cost, one penny is the maximum." Liu Qinghuan took another sip and looked at An Lin's expression.
"Boss Liu, please tell me such a private matter..."
"We've come this far, and you still don't understand?" Liu Qinghuan saw that An Lin seemed to be terrified. "I want to open the Huanxi brand in Suzhou. Boss An, could you lend me a hand?"
An Lin finally realized that when he was asked to come over to discuss "cooperation," they meant real cooperation...
"Boss Liu, please speak."
"I'm not going to be pretentious with you. I currently own four Huanxi stores, including a restaurant, a bistro, a hot pot restaurant, and a dim sum shop. It's hard to say how much I earn monthly, but I make at least this much every day." Liu Qinghuan stretched out his hand and made a number.
"One hundred taels?" An Lin's eyes popped out, and he completely dropped his disguise, looking like a Spartan.
If he knew that running a restaurant could make so much money, he wouldn't have run around all that time. Others made money easily, while he was jostling on horseback every day.
"That's about right." Liu Qinghuan's expression clearly showed that it was more than a hundred taels.
"How would you like to cooperate?"
"Suzhou is quite far away, and I'd like to find someone to manage it for me. The Huanxi brand has a deep connection with your son, and it must be fate. I wonder if Mr. An would be interested in being the Suzhou agent?"
"How is the agency method?"
"I'll pay for the shop, renovations, staff, menu, and all the other expenses. You'll be the shopkeeper, managing the Huanxi brand in Suzhou as efficiently as possible. If successful, I'll also give you the agency rights for several cities surrounding Suzhou. All you need to do is keep in touch monthly and report your accounts to me every six months. I'll give you 30% of any profits."
Liu Qinghuan was genuinely cooperating with An Lin and had directly stated her bottom line. Thirty percent was quite a bit.
An Lin silently calculated in his mind what 30% meant. It was only one thousand taels of silver a month.
He would take two months to make a round trip, earning 10,000 taels on a busy day, and 5,000 or 6,000 taels at a minimum. Although he wasn't on the road year-round, he could still make 40,000 or 50,000 taels a year.
What's the point? This is too little.
Seeing An Lin pondering, Liu Qinghuan added, "Don't laugh at me, but the Huanxi brand only started to develop last summer. We now have four stores, so it's a bit small."
Expand to four stores in half a year?
An Lin began to think again.
"Boss An, Yuncheng is relatively developed in terms of foreign exports and imports, but with the Zhou family being the sole owner, it's not exactly wealthy. Suzhou is a land of abundant resources, so I imagine people are more willing to spend on food. You see, we have hot pot now, and I'm planning to add barbecue in the future. If you put two hot pots and barbecues in one city, wouldn't you make a killing?"
An Lin listened quietly and said nothing more.
