With the foundation of the old store, Jincheng's new store has made full preparations before opening. A few days before the opening, Lin Mo found a printing factory to print out the leaflets designed by the advertising company, and let the employees who have not yet started to work in the new store distribute them in the most prosperous places in the urban area. As a reward, every time a leaflet is issued, the employees can get to a dime. At this time, most of the leaflets on the street were at the psoriasis advertising stage, and few of them were distributed along the street. Each leaflet was about the size of a double-sided A4 paper. The dishes, coupled with witty text explanations, make people have the urge to swallow just by looking at them.
Jincheng is a provincial capital, and the consumption is much higher than that of L County. The per capita consumption is more than 60. In the county, many people think it is too expensive, and more people like the buffet that costs 15 or 20 yuan per person. , cheap and affordable. In the provincial capital, the price is about the same as that of most ordinary hot pot restaurants. On the premise of having enough confidence in their own hot pot, in order to ensure profits, Lin Mo and his father discussed and set the price at around 80 per capita. The price is slightly higher than the average level, and ordinary people can't afford it if they want to have a good meal. In order to open up the market and increase the popularity, Lin Mo asked the employees to print all the leaflets distributed. With the leaflets, they can enjoy a 15% discount within five days of opening. In addition, each table is given a bottle of beer, and each table is limited to one leaflet. .
The exquisite dishes on the flyer are very attractive, the novel explanations are coupled with the temptation of discounts, and the location of the hot pot restaurant is very easy to find in the city center. As expected, the opening day is full of customers. Novel wild mushroom pot, Farewell My Concubine soup, traditional spicy pot, special super spicy chicken pot, but no one who has eaten it can say that it is not delicious. The snack master hired by Lin Jian with a high salary is also excellent in craftsmanship. The novel and unique special snacks are refreshing. The cold, cold and wet winter is the peak season for eating hot pot. Guests must spread the word when they go back. In the next few days, the store is full every day. This momentum has continued until the end of the event. Half of the delicious eaters in the city know the name of Lin's Hot Pot Restaurant, and the new store has a good start, which means it has gained a foothold.
The new store has been busy until the day before New Year's Eve before giving the employees a group year holiday, and the holiday officially starts on the third day of the first lunar month. Considering that the business of the steamed stuffed bun shop was not particularly good during the Chinese New Year, Lin Jian extended the vacation to Aunt Gu and the others to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which was considered a little benefit for the old employees.
From the opening of the new store to the eve of New Year's Eve, in just ten days of business, the turnover reached 500,000 yuan. Half of the ingredients used in the store come from barren mountain farms, which greatly reduces the cost. Excluding various expenses, the profit is astonishing.
As of the end of December, the net income of the two stores in the county had reached more than 690,000 yuan a year, plus the profit of the new store and the old store during the hot month before the Spring Festival, it broke through one million yuan. The profits from hard work are considerable, but compared with the rents of the shops that Lin Jian bought all over the country, they are not enough. Of course, Lin Jian is not discouraged. In Lin Mo's words, he has done a very good job. What needs to be done now is to develop steadily, cultivate the management team, and find out the best business management model. Open branches all over the country. At that time, what is a small rent
Han Xun's capital injection has already laid a solid foundation for Lin Mo's catering empire. He doesn't need to raise capital through franchising, and he doesn't need to worry about rent. He also has wonderful recipes. What he needs to do in the future is to cultivate talents—open Branches—cultivate talents, and continue to develop soundly with quality and quantity.
Lin Jian's vision is broad now. Even if he can't foresee the explosive growth of housing prices in the future, he still understands that the shops in his hands are a huge treasure, and a loyal and excellent leadership team is the key to unlock this treasure. The batching factory has already been built, and the pace of development in the millennium will inevitably accelerate. Lin Jian has a small plan in mind, which is to turn two hot pot restaurants into ten in the coming year, and try to seize the market in Jincheng prefecture-level city , to gain a firm foothold in the market of province S, and use this as a base to strive to expand the store to other provinces in the next year.
Most men have ambitions, and Lin Jian is no exception. Most of the time, he just lacks an opportunity. If he hadn't broken his leg and was not forced into a desperate situation, maybe he is still a villager working hard with a salary of several hundred yuan. Mathematics teacher; if there is no son to survive the most difficult time in the strong family, he is probably dead now or struggling to wait for death in the hospital bed; if Han Xun did not extradite him to M country for treatment, he is probably a mere boy now A disabled person who can sit in a wheelchair; without Han Xun's strong capital injection, their small shop is probably still huddled in a corner of L County, and it will take an extremely long time and extremely hard work to quickly seize the province's and even the national market. Work hard, even Lin Mo may give up his studies and enter the society early to work hard...
There are too many ifs in a person's life, and each if is a choice and a turning point. At the critical turning point, the person who can help you get out of the mud is often regarded as a noble person.
It is undeniable that Han Xun is the noble person who appeared at the corner of their family's fate and extended a helping hand.
To Han Xun, the word "gratitude" is not enough to describe Lin Jian's gratitude to him. However, after experiencing so much, Lin Jian has long since lost his innocence when he was a teacher. He can't help wondering, Han Xun has done so much. What exactly is the picture
invest? Lin Jian believed that with the 50 million US dollars Han Xun put in his account, with Han Xun's contacts, no matter what investment he made, the rate of return would be a hundred times higher than investing in a hot pot restaurant.
Humanitarian sponsorship? Lin Jian didn't have much face-to-face contact with Han Xun, but he had an intuition that Han Xun was not an angel that people imagined.
If it was because of kinship, not to mention that Han Xun let him hide the money from everyone in Lin Mo's accident, when Han Xun gave him the money, they were clearly strangers who had nothing to do with each other.
Him, why
Lin Jian held back this doubt in his heart for a long time, unable to solve it.
If Lin Mo was a girl, he would probably feel that Han Xun was pursuing him by doing this, but Lin Mo is obviously a boy.
Lin Jian rarely went to entertainment venues except for necessary entertainment, and even if he did, he checked out early because he was out of tune with others. He might know what "broken sleeve" means, but after all, he has never seen it in real life, and he never went there. Think about it. Therefore, although his guess is very close to the truth, it is still puzzling.
On New Year's Eve, after the New Year's dinner, Lin Jian expressed his thoughts while watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Lin Mo almost thought that his father was suspicious of his relationship with Han Xun, but grandma changed the topic carelessly, and Lin Mo followed her grandmother's words and praised Han Xun's good character, then watched the Spring Festival Gala in silence. After a while, the phone at home rang. It was Han Xun calling from overseas. After paying New Year's greetings to Lin Mo's family, he whispered to Lin Mo to call him at a convenient place.
Lin Mo sat at home for an hour, using the excuse of going to see Lin Shu who was setting off firecrackers downstairs, went downstairs, quietly walked out of the community, found a place with no one on the side of the road, and called Han Xun. The phone was connected, and the other end picked it up. Han Xun's angry voice came from the phone: "Lin Xiaomo, did you forget to call me if I didn't remind you?"
Lin Mo sighed silently when he thought of what his father said just now, and his grandma's unconditional trust in Han Xun. After living two lifetimes, he knows better than anyone else that there are not so many things in this world that have the best of both worlds, and the most important thing is to cherish the present moment.
"Who said that, I was going to call you. If you didn't call just now, I would have called you." Lin Mo felt that Han Xun's occasional childish temper still needs to be coaxed.
Sure enough, Han Xun's voice on the other end of the phone became brighter: "It's not too bad."
The two talked for a while without nutrition. Han Xun heard the car horn on the phone and asked, "Are you outside?"
"Um."
"Why didn't you say it earlier, what if you get frozen? Lin Xiaomo, why don't you know how to take good care of yourself when you leave my side?"
Lin Mo said in a rare meekness: "Yes, so you should never leave me for the rest of your life."
Han Xun's heart was as sweet as honey, his ears were slightly red, he squeezed the phone and said, "You said that." Han Xun paused, and said affectionately, "Lin Xiaomo, I love you."
After half a month of separation, Lin Mo missed the street lights for the first time. He kicked the stones beside his feet, and couldn't help thinking, it would be great if Han Xiaoren was here, and they could go to the night market to see the lanterns. You can set off fireworks, you can do many ordinary and interesting things, separated by an ocean distance, those things seem to have become ordinary and boring...
"… I love you too."
In terms of relationship, Lin Mo is always reserved and shy with a little awkwardness. He seldom takes the initiative to say such straightforward love words. After speaking, his face turns red first.
Han Xun could almost picture Lin Mo's shy and annoyed appearance in his mind at the moment, his heart was so warm that he wished he could appear in front of him immediately, give him a tight hug, and a deep kiss without affection.
This century seems to be less regrettable.
There was a contented smile on the corner of Han Xun's mouth: "It's so good, remember to say it again when we meet next time. It's cold outside, so go back quickly."
Lin Mo chuckled, hung up the phone, turned around and saw Lin Shu standing behind him, the smile froze on his face.
