This was the second time Lin Mo surprised Su Shi. He didn't expect that Lin Mo not only had strong observation skills, but also had such good hearing.
Su Shi suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked, "What did you do in the army before?"
"Second Young Master, I am a scout in the army."
Su Shi suddenly realized that only the most elite soldiers in the army could serve as scouts, so Dongyuan Zhiku's little tricks were simply not worth mentioning in Lin Mo's eyes.
Now that he knew Lin Mo's identity, Su Shi was not surprised.
So he ignored Lin Mo and continued to talk to Chen Xiaolan: "Yesterday, although I said that I wanted to know the situation of Yong'an, Changle, Pingning and other thirty-six square restaurants, especially the two restaurants with the best business, but I I haven’t told you what exactly you need to know.”
Chen Xiaolan asked doubtfully: "Don't we want to understand how those restaurants operate and their operating conditions?"
Su Shi said: "Of course it would be better to know these, but these are not the most important."
"Then what's most important?"
Su Shi said slowly: "The most important thing is that you must understand the age, personality, interests, abilities... and so on of the actual owner of the restaurant. These things are very cumbersome and must be completed within seven days. Can it be done? ?”
Chen Xiaolan immediately replied: "Sir, I can do it."
Seeing Chen Xiaolan's answer so simply, Su Shi was a little surprised.
"Have you already thought of a way?"
Chen Xiaolan nodded slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Su Shi said again, "You don't have to tell me what method you used."
But Su Shi trusted her so much, Chen Xiaolan was a little worried: "Don't you want to give me some advice?" At this point, Chen Xiaolan seemed to be less and less confident, and whispered: "If my method is wrong, wouldn't it be wrong? Did you miss Young Master’s plan?”
Su Shi just looked at her lightly: "Then are you confident in your method?"
Chen Xiaolan thought about her plan several times in her mind before looking up at Su Shi again and nodded firmly.
A smile appeared on Su Shi's face, and he said approvingly: "Confidence is a very important ability, so as long as you think you are right, you must persevere."
After receiving Su Shi's approval, Chen Xiaolan became a little shy, but she felt extremely happy in her heart.
But she still had some questions and couldn't help but ask: "But I still don't know how knowing this will help our business?"
Su Shi smiled and said: "You will know in the future that if you understand human nature thoroughly, you will naturally be successful in doing business."
Chen Xiaolan finally showed her face and said: "Sir, I understand."
Su Shi took a sip of tea and continued: "You should also have your own plans for hiring people. After your father finds the people, you can put some effort into selecting them."
Chen Xiaolan immediately nodded and replied: "Yes."
At this time, Su Shi tapped his fingers on the table, and he mused: "The business of Wu Mei Tang is just the beginning. I have many plans next, and I need a lot of manpower. But with too many people, it is easy to get confused, so it is particularly important to choose and employ people. important."
Chen Xiaolan suddenly felt an invisible pressure, and she murmured: "Master, I am afraid that I will not be able to do the job when choosing and employing people."
Su Shi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much. My plan is not to be implemented immediately. You still have a lot of time."
Chen Xiaolan had no choice but to nod in agreement, but then said worriedly: "Sir, I had nothing to do this morning and visited several restaurants. Each restaurant sold homemade black plum soup, and the price did not exceed two yuan. We didn’t sell much, and we didn’t have much interest in cooperating with outsiders.”
Su Shi didn't expect that Chen Xiaolan had already started to do market research, but the results of the survey shocked her confidence.
Su Shi smiled and said, "Isn't this something expected?"
"But in this case, how can we convince those restaurants to cooperate with us?"
Su Shi said calmly: "I have a clever plan on how to cooperate with these restaurants, so you don't need to worry."
Seeing that Chen Xiaolan's worried look had not subsided much, Su Shi continued: "The so-called cooperation means that each of us uses our strengths and gets what we need. I dare to bet on the black plum soup. Naturally, the black plum soup we make is unique."
"Unique?" Chen Xiaolan looked at him doubtfully, because she really couldn't understand what kind of black plum soup was unique.
Black plum soup is a very common drink that almost every family can make. Even if the ingredients, methods, and heat are different, no one dares to say that their own plum soup is unique and unparalleled in the world.
"Then when will we make that unique black plum soup?" Chen Xiaolan asked cautiously.
Su Shi said calmly: "As for when to make the plum soup, I will let you know when the time comes."
Before coming, Su Shi had planned to reveal his plan to Chen Xiaolan to prevent her from being worried. But when Lin Mo told him that someone was monitoring Chen Ang and his daughter, Su Shi immediately changed his mind.
The strategy of building plank roads openly and secretly attacking Chencang is not just for military purposes.
Originally, he had an indifferent attitude towards this bet, but when he learned that Dongyuan Zhiku's power was far beyond his imagination, he had to be more cautious.
Although Chen Xiaolan was a little disappointed when Su Shi refused to reveal any information, she still nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Then Xiaolan will wait quietly for the master's orders."
Su Shi thought for a while and continued to give instructions: "In your spare time, would you like to help me pay attention to something?"
Chen Xiaolan's eyes were immediately filled with hope, and she hurriedly said: "If you need anything, please just ask me."
Su Shi pondered and said, "Please pay attention to see if there is any idle land for sale outside the capital. After the gambling is over, I want to buy it."
"Master, you want to buy land for farming?"
Su Shi smiled and said, "Do you think I am a person who knows how to farm? I have other uses."
In Su Shi's current plan, the plum soup business has become a one-time deal. After the gambling is over, he will inevitably return to his previous state of doing nothing.
In order not to let himself be idle, he had to find another business to do.
As for what kind of business he wants to do, he hasn't decided yet, but the general direction is still determined, which is to build a workshop.
Building a workshop naturally requires land, so Su Cai told Chen Xiaolan to pay attention to whether there was any land for sale around the capital.
Seeing that Su Shi had already thought about what happened after the bet, Chen Xiaolan obviously felt that she was sure to win the bet, so her uneasy heart gradually calmed down. She hurriedly said: "Xiaolan has written it down, please don't worry, Master. "
