Huang Duoduo and An Xin were successfully enrolled in school, and Li Man and Chen Xiaohui were relieved. They began to prepare to open a restaurant.
Tan Xiyuan had already picked out a shop, located in Chinatown, on the street, 130 square meters, with a monthly rent of US$20,000.
She has already paid a deposit of $10,000.
When Tan Xiyuan heard the rent, his face turned green.
After paying her daughter's tuition, she was left with 200,000 yuan, which is RMB. Converted into US dollars, it is only enough to pay one month's rent.
"Is this rent too expensive? Why don't we look for another one?" Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but say.
"It's not expensive. The rent here is like this. When I first came here, I searched for a shop for a long time before I found this one." Tan Xiyuan said.
"The shop rent is so high, can we make money?" Chen Xiaohui said with a worried look on her face.
Tan Xiyuan smiled and said, "Don't think it's expensive just because you convert the money into RMB, because what you earn here is US dollars!"
Chen Xiaohui thought about it and it was true. If it were in China, a monthly rent of 20,000 yuan for a 130-square-meter shop would not be expensive.
"Is it easy to hire a chef here?" Riemann asked.
"It's not difficult to hire a chef. I've asked about it, but the salary needs to be high. A good chef will cost at least US$10,000 a month, and an average one will cost at least US$4,000 to 5,000," said Tan Xiyuan.
"Are there many barbecue restaurants here?" Riemann asked again.
"What? You want to open a barbecue restaurant?" Tan Xiyuan asked instead of answering.
"I did have this idea. After all, the requirements for being a barbecue chef are not that high and the salary is relatively low. If it really doesn't work out, Xiaohui and I can do it, after all, we have done it before." Riemann said.
Chen Xiaohui quickly agreed, "Yes, I also think barbecue is good, it makes money quickly, and most importantly, we have all done it and have experience."
Tan Xiyuan was a little embarrassed: "But wouldn't it be a bit of a waste to use such a large shop for barbecue?"
Li Man looked at the shop in front of him and felt that it was a waste to use such a large shop for barbecue, so he gave up the idea of doing barbecue. "Forget it, let's just open a restaurant."
Seeing that Riemann had compromised, Chen Xiaohui said nothing more. Since she had already found a shop, she would just do that first. When she made enough money, she could open a barbecue stall of her own. There was no rush. As long as she was willing to endure hardship, she would definitely make money.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaohui also agreed: "Then open a restaurant."
Since they had decided to run a restaurant, they started to divide the work. Chen Xiaohui was more meticulous, and she was originally an accountant, so she was in charge of the money and purchasing.
Riemann is responsible for managing the shop and greeting customers.
Tan Xiyuan's baby is still young, so Li Man asked her to focus on the baby first and come to the store to help when she has time.
"In that case, don't pay me."
Tan Xiyuan said: "I just want to take the dividends."
Chen Xiaohui asked: "Xiyuan, have you calculated? How much money do we need to invest in this restaurant?"
Tan Xiyuan said: "I've calculated that it will cost at least three million to open this restaurant."
Chen Xiaohui was surprised and asked, "Do you need so many?"
Tan Xiyuan pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "My budget is in RMB. If converted into US dollars, it is about 400,000. The main reason is that the decoration fee here is too expensive. The decoration and purchase of equipment are the biggest expenses. It will cost at least 200,000 to 300,000 US dollars. I have already negotiated the rent of the shop with the landlord. The deposit is one third of the rent, which is 80,000 US dollars. There are also some miscellaneous expenses. All in all, it will cost at least 3 million."
