The restaurant run by Shi Peifeng has an area of ​​more than 400 square meters. According to the requirements of Internet thinking, it is divided into more than a dozen private rooms. The remaining part of the lobby is relatively small, with only three or four tables for two people, which is much more symbolic than practical. In addition to the store, the restaurant also has a fully functional back kitchen, as well as several small offices such as the manager's room and finance room. The restaurant has a total of 32 employees, all living in a community not far from the restaurant, where there are three units rented by Shi Peifeng. The employees have an average of 3 or 4 people living in a room, and the fees are paid by the restaurant.

According to Shi Peifeng, his original intention of opening this restaurant was because when he started a business, he often had dinner and chatted with his entrepreneurial partners. He found that it was difficult to find a restaurant suitable for entrepreneurial partners to have dinner together in Yuhai City. In Shi Peifeng's mind, the restaurant that meets this condition should have a very elegant environment, delicious and light dishes. After all, Internet entrepreneurs are not migrant workers, and hard dishes such as sauce elbows, sheep and scorpions are not in line with their taste. In addition, this kind of restaurant should also provide services such as online reservations, pre-order dishes, and customization of dishes, which is in line with the Internet's business model.

After discovering this problem, Shi Peifeng firmly believed that he had found a business opportunity in the catering industry in the Internet era, that is, to open a new restaurant that is completely suitable for gatherings of young entrepreneurs. He crowdfunded a few friends and then excitedly opened the restaurant on Wenyu Street. In the early stage, he invested millions of yuan in restaurant decoration and publicity, and spent more than 200,000 yuan on advertising on the Internet alone. He also solicited thousands of dishes through the Internet and hired several senior chefs to develop them as the restaurant's signature dish.

The restaurant opened a year ago. At the beginning of its opening, the business was quite booming. Not only were young people flocked to it, but many people even came to Qihua, the provincial capital, and the private room reservation orders often took a week or two to wait.

But the good times did not last long. After the initial hustle and bustle, the restaurant business gradually became deserted. Although it was not a waste of time, compared with the scale and investment of the restaurant, the daily flow of water was far from meeting expectations.

In this case, if Shi Peifeng is willing to change his business model, increase some popular cuisines, control personnel costs, and reach a break-even. But the problem is that what Shi Peifeng originally pursued was not to support his family, but to create a new business model and achieve the goal of getting rich overnight. The conflict between the current situation and ideals made Shi Peifeng discouraged, so he had the idea of ​​closing the restaurant.

"I can't waste my time on this kind of waiting, although I believe the dawn will come eventually." Shi Peifeng said to Li Yu and others like this.

"Yes, yes, if a young talent like Mr. Shi, who has a big vision, becomes a huge waste if he falls into pursuing small profits like those small restaurant owners." Xu Yingying supported him like a brainless fan.

Li Yu sneered in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He was quite satisfied with this restaurant. He believed that if he had been to run it himself, he would never end up like Shi Peifeng. To put it bluntly, Shi Peifeng's situation is that he is very arrogant and is not down-to-earth at all. Although Li Yu does not understand what Internet thinking is, he can feel unreliable after listening to Shi Peifeng's introduction.

The negotiation finally fell on Xu Yingying. Li Yu and Ge Jianyu left the restaurant and stood outside the door to chat. Xu Yingying found a private room with Shi Peifeng and held a closed-door consultation. About half an hour later, both of them walked out with happy smiles. Xu Yingying gave a wink at Li Yu and Ge Jianyu, indicating that the negotiation was very smooth. Shi Peifeng reached out to the two of them, shook hands with them and said, "I will leave this restaurant to you. I hope you can regain its glory. I will go back to the capital in a while. If you have anything to do in the capital, you can contact me. I still have a little relationship in the capital, and maybe I can help you."

"Then thank you Mr. Shi." Li Yu said politely.

"It's easy to say," Ge Jianyu responded with a perfunctory attitude, his heart full of disdain and displeasure.

Speech drove his Lexus away, and the car drove far away. He could still see Xu Yingying waving goodbye in the rearview mirror, and a feeling of relief and sadness that could not be found in his soulmate.

"Yingying, stop waving, everyone has gone far away." Ge Jianyu said to Xu Yingying angrily.

Xu Yingying put down his hand and asked with a smile: "Why, are you jealous?"

"Why am I jealous!" Ge Jianyu said, "A party full of sour water, that is, parents have money, can he ruin this way. Why are you also fascinated by his Internet thinking?"

"Bah, what kind of Internet thinking is simply fooled by being fooled." Xu Yingying smiled, "I have been following his words, don't you see it?"

"What does it mean?" Ge Jianyu realized it later.

Xu Yingying said: "Let me tell you, I have already negotiated with this boss Shi. He transferred this store to us for 200,000 yuan, including all the equipment in the store. The store rent is 25,000 yuan a month. He signed a five-year contract with the landlord. Now there are three and a half years left. He will transfer half of the contract to us. We just need to continue to pay the landlord."

"200,000?" Ge Jianyu was speechless. He pointed to the restaurant and said, "It's probably 700,000 or 800,000 in just this decoration? The tables and chairs in the store, as well as refrigerators, kitchen utensils, and tableware, are probably going to cost more than 100,000 yuan. Why would he be willing to transfer 200,000 yuan to us?"

Opening a store requires large investment in the early stage. If it is transferred to others in the middle, these investments generally need to be shared by the party who takes over. For some shops, in addition to the decoration costs and inventory value, the original operators often ask the takeover for a transfer fee. In stores like Zhongguancun and Huaqiangbei, the transfer fee for a stall can be as high as hundreds of thousands, let alone such a large store.

After visiting the restaurant just now, Ge Jianyu had estimated it in his mind that he would have to pay at least 500,000 or 600,000 yuan to take over this store. Who would have thought that Xu Yingying would negotiate for 200,000 yuan.

Li Yu guessed the mystery and said with a smile: "It turns out that my sister-in-law flattered Boss Shi like she was just now, and she had this idea. You didn't explain it clearly earlier, which made Senior Brother Ge worry for a long time."

"What are I worried about..." Ge Jianyu also reacted. It turned out that Xu Yingying saw the face-saving characteristics of Shi Peifeng, deliberately pretending to be admiring, and finally successfully plotted against the other party. Thinking of the sourness in his heart just now, he defended awkwardly: "I'm not worried, I don't look down on this guy at all..."

"I can't see your thoughts yet, I'm pretty!" Xu Yingying rebuked half-angry and half-happy, and then continued to say like a credit: "It's more than that. I just agreed with Boss Shi that we can open the business with his restaurant business license first, and go through the transfer procedures while operating. Also, we can continue to retain the 32 employees under his command. Of course, we can also dismiss what we don't want. In this way, we don't have to wait for the license and can open the business at any time."

"Is this okay?" Ge Jianyu was really shocked this time. For the first time, he discovered that his girlfriend's ability was really amazing and he could even talk about borrowing a business license.

If Li Yu and his friends want to open a restaurant, they must apply for a business license. According to the service process of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, it may take one or two months to apply for a license. Since you must rent the venue first, this means that the rent of the venue is wasted in one or two months. It is not impossible to borrow a license from the previous operator to operate, but this means that the other party will take some business risks for you, and it is impossible for you to do it without paying some price.

Shi Peifeng is a second-generation ancestor who is not short of money. He opened this restaurant, which means living every family like a child, and he doesn't care how much it earns. He has no clear idea about how much it costs to transfer a restaurant. Seeing Xu Yingying admire him so much, he was happy and agreed to all the conditions. This is the benefit of the brainless fans.

"I've thought about it, we can start preparing for the opening of the business now." Xu Yingying said. She pulled Li Yu and Ge Jianyu into the restaurant, called Yan Wuliang and Jiang Jiongqing over, and began to assign tasks: "Xiao Yan, I will appoint your current department manager, and all the waiters will be under your control. You have to select the inappropriate people out and fire within three days. Others need to be trained to let them meet our requirements."

"Hi!" Yan Wuliang answered in Japanese, but gave a fascist hand-raising gift.

"Xiao Jiang, you are the purchasing supervisor and are responsible for all procurement matters. I tell you that procurement is a matter of dealing with money. You can't have bad intentions, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, if I dare to greed for a cent in the restaurant, I will let Brother Li slap me to death!" Jiang Jiongqing swears.

"Li Yu, your task is very difficult. The first thing is to be responsible for raising money. I have asked Xiaoyan and Xiao Jiang today. Both of them are farmers and cannot afford a penny, so the money raising can only be done by you. Don't lose your links."

"Don't worry, my sister-in-law, this matter has been completed, and the money is in my senior brother's bank card." Li Yu said with a smile.

"Why put your bank card?" Xu Yingying glared at Ge Jianyu and asked, "Are you bullying Li Yu again?"

"Li Yu doesn't have a bank card, can you blame me?" Ge Jianyu only felt that he was even more unfair than Dou E.
