Xie Zhenhua's father, Xie Chunshan, was a worker in a foreign language printing factory.
The Foreign Language Printing Factory is not specialized in printing foreign languages, but is a subsidiary of the Foreign Languages Bureau responsible for external publicity and printing. Since it is engaged in external publicity, of course it must use the best things. The latest and most top-notch printing equipment and printing equipment in the country are concentrated here. Craftsmanship.
Using the most advanced printing equipment in the country, giving the little brother a few printing points to review materials is a bit like using anti-aircraft guns to swat mosquitoes, overkill and underutilizing.
Xie Chunshan always gave his son unconditional support for anything he did, whether it was setting up a stall to sell stew or running some small business. This time he took advantage of his position to help print some review materials. Of course, the father did not hesitate.
But he didn't expect that his son would print more than 10,000 sets and 70,000 copies at once! Such a large number really shocked him!
Moreover, my son has very high requirements for printing quality. The cover must be color printed on coated paper, and the paper used for the content must be more than 70 grams. This standard far exceeds the requirements for general teaching aid materials.
So Xie Chunshan, a veteran worker in the workshop who could do everything, was a little embarrassed.
"Sigh, the quantity of your thing is too large. If it were less, I would take the night shift to go through the machine and it would be done without anyone noticing. This is coated paper and it needs to be printed in color. You need the workshop director. The note-signing machine can only be operated, so it’s a bit difficult.”
Xie Laozhaoer smiled and said: "Hey, there is finally something that you, Lao Xie, can't do. This time, our brothers didn't want to take advantage of the public. Let's sign the contract on official business. We will also be your factory's Party A, but Lao Dad, you have to ensure the quality of the construction period, and you have to calculate a lowest price for us. If we cooperate well this time, this job will be available every year in the future, and it will be handed over to your factory."
Unable to bear the look of disgrace on his son's face, Lao Xie pretended to be angry: "Little bastard, do you know how much it costs to print so many copies? Can you afford them?"
"Lao Xie, please don't underestimate me. The minimum printing price is 10,000 sets just to keep the cost of a single copy down. 20,000 yuan is nothing to us, but you have to help us pay the deposit first and pick up the goods after everything is completed." Then pay the full price." Xie Laozhaoer began to bargain with his father.
"Your father and I are a workshop worker. You have to negotiate these conditions with the factory yourself." Lao Xie was a little unsure. He had said that it would not be a big deal if he secretly printed some things, but his son's order was placed in the current factory. It was a big deal, but there were some conditions that he didn't dare to talk about.
Unexpectedly, Lao Xie's attitude was despised by his own son: "Old Xie, we treat these exercise books as your factory's printing, just to take care of you. If you can bring this order back to the factory, maybe the factory will return it." I have to give you a reward. You don’t know what your factory is like now? You have no work to do every day and you start printing calendars of beauties that cannot be sold. I heard that the canteen is so poor that they only feed you carrots and cabbage all day long. You can't see the meat and fish. If you can get this order back at this time, it will be a savior for your factory. The factory director has to provide for you. Why can't you negotiate some conditions and not agree to it happily?"
Xie Chunshan's face was a little confused and he didn't believe it: "Er, are you telling the truth? Is it really such a large amount?"
Xie Laozhao'er became even more arrogant: "Don't worry, Lao Xie, our editor-in-chief will come to your door in person to sign the contract tomorrow."
…
At this moment, Yao Yuan deeply recognized what a homo sapiens said: if you want to get rich, you must first have a deep desire for money.
In fact, in the final analysis, Yao Yuan did not want to make a fortune, at least not through catering. In his opinion, working so hard just to order the food was not worth the gain.
If you really want to make a fortune, just buy a few editions of Monkey Tickets and wait for the value to rise. From now on, but in the next thirty years, the price of Monkey Tickets costing a few yuan per edition will keep rising until they can finally be sold. More than two million copies! This potential for appreciation exceeds all returns on investment. It is no problem to buy a few hundred versions of the Monkey Ticket in my hands now. If I keep it for more than 20 years, it will be worth several hundred million! It takes absolutely no effort.
Of course, both real estate and Maotai liquor have great potential for appreciation, which exceeds the speed of making money from doing business. Earn some money by selling stewed vegetables, and then use it to invest. If you want to get rich, don’t make it easy!
So fundamentally, Yao Yuan has no intention of accomplishing anything.
However, God did not fulfill people's wishes.
During the summer vacation, in order to earn some living expenses and also for fun, I set up a braised pork stall on the street. Then I got out of hand. In order to thank Lao Zhaoer and for the sake of Manchu City, I opened another braised pork shop.
Then the party Jianguo fell from the sky, neat and capable.
In order to live up to Mancheng and Dang Jianguo, and to ask Gu Yanwang to introduce some retired cooking soldiers, Yao Yuan boasted about promoting Dang Jianguo, saying that the Braised Pork Shop was preparing to expand its production and would establish a catering service company and a braised pork chain store. I want to sell my own braised pork to all places in the city!
There is only one purpose for boasting such a big thing, which is to let King Gu Yan introduce some good talents with confidence. He repeatedly emphasized that our company is a formal enterprise and can help solve the resettlement problem of veterans. If possible, we can even put up a sign of a military-civilian joint venture.
As the first manager of a catering company, Dang Jianguo is very busy these days, running around the streets and running business and industry. Fortunately, there are no special regulations for chain companies, so the procedures are much simpler; The King of Hell took this matter seriously and spared no effort to help; and thanks to the party eldest brother's status as a veteran, everyone had a good impression, and the so-called "eating and getting cards" phenomenon did not happen, and finally a catering service company's license was issued down.
In fact, a catering company has a lot of mothers-in-law, and they can manage a series of units such as industry and commerce, taxation, health and epidemic prevention, fire protection, public security, and streets. When thinking of a license, you have to go through one level after another. There are indispensable favors, treats, and gifts. After completing the procedures, there was no need to think about it.
Unexpectedly, in order to find more veterans, Yao Yuan slapped his head on the sign of military-civilian joint construction and it worked wonders. After hearing about it, Aunt Wei, the director of the neighborhood committee, actually helped throughout the process. With her help, the whole process was given the green light. It was done so smoothly and only took more than a week.
With the license in hand, the two veterans introduced by Gu Yan Wang will be able to come tomorrow. I heard that they are still cooking soldiers from the ace field force stationed in Hebei Province. Yao Yuan and Brother Dang are particularly looking forward to it, especially Brother Dang, who is gearing up. Ready for a big fight.
Every happy event must be accompanied by sorrow. Yao Yuan has never been so worried about money.
There is no financial threshold for registering a catering service company. Yao Yuan pooled together 30,000 yuan as the registered capital. At the same time, this 30,000 yuan is also the service company's start-up capital. It should be enough for the initial purchase of original ingredients, updating kitchen equipment and supplies, and leasing the storefront. , but these 30,000 yuan have exhausted all the cash Yao Yuan had on hand.
Of course, some cash has been set aside to pay for the printing and labor costs of the "three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulation".
Then, Yao Yuan was completely out of money.
But there is still a large financial need that has not been met.
A few days ago, Qi Lei was fooled, saying that he would set up a cultural publishing company specifically to run the "three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulation" project.
The cultural publishing company to be established is a joint-stock company. Industrial and commercial regulations stipulate that the registered capital of a joint-stock company cannot be less than 300,000. Seeing that the exercise book has entered the printing stage, it is time to start issuing it. The company license is not yet there, the license is not there, and of course the official seal is also required. It was impossible. He couldn't even sign a contract with the printing factory without an official seal, so Yao Yuan couldn't help but feel anxious.
Why did so many things happen accidentally?
Yao Yuan was a little confused.
But what is certain is that now he is full of incomparable desire for money.
It's ridiculous to think that a senior high school candidate can be so neglectful of his job without reviewing his homework properly!
At the night market, Yao Yuan raised his knife to cut his large intestine. There were so many thoughts in his mind, which made him a little uneasy.
…
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" When he discovered that the newly opened stall across the street also sells braised pork, the little fat boy said three "Fuck"s in a row!
After eight o'clock, a new food stall opened across the street. There was a large pot on the gas stove. The boiling smell in the pot was exactly the same as the one at the stall! Even the price is exactly the same as mine, only four yuan a bowl!
Regardless of doing business, Little Fatty ran over and bought a bowl. After tasting it secretly, Little Fatty's face looked a little strange and solemn.
Yao Yuan frowned after tasting it.
The ingredients chosen by the other party were all good, and the lungs were well processed and cleaned very cleanly. There was no organ smell at all. The pork belly was generous and the main ingredient was large intestine. I guess they had the same considerations as myself. , if you choose small intestine, the plump feeling will be slightly worse. In short, a bowl of stewed stew is quite satisfactory in terms of ingredient selection, processing and portion, and you can't find any faults.
The taste of the other party's soup base seems to be a bit sophisticated. Once you taste it, you can tell that it is made by a master chef. The soup base has a mellow and salty aroma, with some medicinal aromas.
After sipping it carefully, I found something unusual. The other party must have used some secret recipe. The soup base had a longer aftertaste, with a slight numbness-like feeling that stimulated the taste buds, and then there was a fragrance that hit the forehead.
This is troublesome, this time I have met my opponent.
As a cook, Yao Yuan is very familiar with this feeling. There is no such thing as copyright protection in the catering industry. Once a restaurant develops a new dish and it becomes popular, countless restaurants will immediately flock to it, and then there will always be someone standing beside others. The shoulders can sublimate and surpass the dishes.
In fact, as an experienced chef, it is not that difficult to decipher the recipe of a dish. It is rare in the world that you can rely on a single product and a single secret recipe for a lifetime. As a bowl of braised pork with low technical content, nowadays Being copied and having a ring on the opposite side, Yao Yuan had expected this kind of thing, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
With the presence of competitors, the business here is obviously much worse, and there is no longer the feeling of being overwhelmed. The diners seem to like trying new things and are always willing to try new stalls.
Li Tielong and Jiao San, on the other hand, sat unwaveringly at the stall and sipped some wine as usual. They didn't know whether it was out of embarrassment or reluctance to part with the several kinds of braised sauces on Yao Yuan's stall, but the looks they cast towards them were obviously a little more... Weird, seems sympathetic? Or just curious? I'm curious how these young people would respond to such a face-to-face fight for business.
The little fat man didn't seem to like anyone tonight. It turned out that the little fat man who was yelling and joking with the old diners at the stall was puffing out his cheeks and ignoring everyone.
Yao Yuan didn't say much all night until he closed the stall and returned to the courtyard.
