The next day.

Gao Dian received an unexpected call.

The phone number of Wei Xu, the owner of the Shangweilou.

Gao Dian was full of doubts. Boss Wei called himself?

Without too much thought, Gao Dian answered the phone.

"Boss Wei." Gao Dian shouted.

"Come here now, I'll send you the address." Wei Xu hung up the phone after saying this.

Gao Dian frowned, this attitude...

Then, he took a deep breath and said that Boss Wei was his teacher's son, so he didn't have to be angry, no need to be angry.

He looked at the address on his phone, thought for a while, and took the bus to come.

He was a little confused. What was the matter with Boss Wei looking for him?

The bus was very slow, and Gao Dian sat in the bus, thinking about opening a store.

When I came to the address given by Boss Wei, Gao Dian looked at it and found that it was a restaurant that looked inconspicuous.

Gao Dian was puzzled, is Boss Wei going to treat himself to a meal?

When he walked in, he found that there was a unique world inside, and the decoration and the inconspicuous outside were simply two extremes.

Retro Chinese style decoration is elegant without losing its nobility.

Such decoration made Gao Dian a little envious.

He also wanted such decoration, but unfortunately, this decoration revealed two words "cost" at a glance!

Under the guidance of the waiter, Gao Dian came to Wei Xu's private room.

"Come on, sit down." Wei Xu said in a plain tone.

Gao Dian frowned slightly, suppressing his displeasure.

"Boss Wei, is there anything you have to do with me?" Gao Dian asked.

"I heard you want to open a hotel?" Wei Xu asked.

Gao Dian nodded when he heard this, but he didn't feel strange. Maybe it was the teacher who told him.

"What do you think of this hotel?" Wei Xu asked.

Gao Dian was stunned, looked at the decoration around him and said, "It's great."

Wei Xu said expressionlessly: "Let's have a meal first, and talk while eating."

Gao Dian nodded slightly when he heard this.

This is a private dish, and it is a relatively high-end one. The dishes are served one by one, with a long interval.

I don’t know the dishes at the high-end dish, but every dish is particularly exquisite.

While eating, Wei Xu said: "The model of this restaurant is small but refined, and does not require too many customers, but each dish is very expensive and only requires few customers to make a profit."

Upon hearing this, Gao Dian ate the chopsticks while eating the dishes. What does Boss Wei mean?

Gao Dian had some speculations in his heart, but he was not sure.

"There is another model, which is the ordinary restaurant model, which pursues a large number of people, cheap dishes, small profits and quick turnover." Wei Xu continued.

"These are just two major types of business models. For specific models, each company has its own methods. Do you want to open a store and think about which model to use?" Wei Xu asked.

Gao Dian shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it."

Wei Xu sneered when he heard this: "Then do you want to open a store? You won't be so angry that you will open a store?" If this is true, I can only say that you have the courage."

Gao Dian heard this and didn't say anything. He didn't feel hot, but he really didn't think so much about it.

"Opening a store is not an easy task, especially when you want to do it well, why do so many people lose money? It is because you have not found your own position." Wei Xu said.

"Boss Wei, then what should I do?" Gao Dian asked.

"How to do it? Isn't this your own business? What's the use of me?" Wei Xu said.

Gao Dian was silent. He always felt that Wei Xu was taking gun medicine today.

Gao Dian was wondering, where did he offend Wei Xu?

Probably...no.

"Then Boss Wei, how can you find your position?" Gao Dian took a deep breath and asked.

"You have to understand what advantages and disadvantages you have. Only after you understand can you find the right position." Wei Xu said.

Gao Dian was so upset that there were too many things to pay attention to opening a store.

Then, he fell into thinking.

His advantages... Does good cooking skills count?

It should be counted.

What about the disadvantages?

He is weak, has no helpers, is not familiar with the market... These should be considered disadvantages.

Wei Xu did not disturb him when he saw Gao Dian thinking.

He didn't help Gao Dian analyze or something, it depends on what Gao Dian thinks.

After a long time, Gao Dian said: "Boss Wei, I seem to understand a little. My advantage is my cooking skills, and my disadvantage is that I only have one person and I don't know much about management."

Wei Xu said: "Good cooking skills are indeed an advantage, but you have to know that there are many people who are better at cooking than you.

Most of these people are helping with work, and very few are really the boss.

There is one thing you are right, you don’t know how to manage, so when you formulate a business model, you must play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and accurately position your target group.”

Gao Dian listened carefully. This was an experience that he could not buy even if he spent money, so he naturally had to listen carefully.

"Then Boss Wei, what kind of business model is suitable for me?" Gao Dian asked.

"You think about this yourself. Everyone has different business models. Your personality, strengths and weaknesses all determine your business models.

Of course, this is specific. As for the general direction, just the two I just mentioned to you, you can choose any one of them." Wei Xu said.

There are two major directions: one is to make high-end dishes, which are exquisite and delicious, and are expensive in few people.

The other is small profits and quick turnover, and low price.

Most hotels have the second business direction, while those high-end restaurants often have thousands or tens of thousands of tables per table.

The two cannot say which one is better or who is worse, but the target group is different.

Gao Dian thought about himself and took the high-end route...it should not work.

He is now at the level of a first-class pastry chef, and he is only at the level of a first-class pastry chef. He is very awesome, but he is not top-notch.

Gao Dian is still self-aware. If you reach another level, you may be able to go this direction. This will make you easier and make more money.

Another reason is that I don’t have many pastries now.

This kind of high-end and exquisite business direction is not enough if there are too few dishes.

There is actually no choice for the rest. There is only one who can follow the ordinary business route, that is, small profits and quick turnover, and make money by flow of people.

"How is it? Have you thought about it?" Wei Xu asked.

Gao Dian said: "After thinking about it, I may be more suitable for the business direction of small profits but quick turnover."

When Wei Xu heard this, he laughed, "I wasn't overwhelmed. You are a first-class pastry chef. You are awesome, but taking the high-end business route is a bit inadequate. Of course, if you insist on leaving, I won't persuade you."

Gao Dian nodded and said nothing.

"Just set the general direction. As for the specific management, you can come down and think about it slowly." Wei Xu said.

Gao Dian responded.

"Do you have any design drawings for decoration?" Wei Xu asked.

Gao Dian scratched his head and said, "No."

Wei Xu was a little weak when he heard this: "You are really... your head is hot! You want to open a store and decorate it, but you don't even have a design drawing? Then you can't decorate it!"

After being scolded by Wei Xu, Gao Dian could only abbreviate his neck. He really didn't design the drawings. He originally thought that he could just ask the decoration team to help him remember it, but he didn't have any special requests.

"Just decorate it casually, there is no need for design drawings, right?" Gao Dian said embarrassedly.

"No design drawings are needed? What kind of store do you open? The decoration style is different! Do you think it is appropriate if you open a pastry shop and decorate you with a bar style?" Wei Xu said.

He is really speechless now. He is planning to open a store without preparing for anything?

How dare he do it!

Do you really think opening a store is so easy? Just have the ability to cook?

That's true, there will be no so many excellent chefs who are still working for others.
