Later, Xiang Nan and Chunming each spent 20,000 yuan to open their first shabu-shabu restaurant.
Xiang Nan named him "Jin Manying" to seek good wishes.
Chunming plans to invite Guan Xiaoguan to serve as the manager of the shabu-shabu restaurant.
Guan Xiaoguan is the granddaughter of Mr. Guan, nicknamed Little Lazy Cat. I had been living in the United States with my parents before. I returned to Beijing in 1981 and now work as a manager in a foreign-related hotel.
Chunming liked her ability and she was the master's granddaughter, so he wanted to recruit her.
However, Xiang Nan does not agree with this.
Guan Xiaoguan has the ability to manage restaurants, but that is because she grew up in restaurants and has a certain amount of experience.
In addition, in the 1980s, reform and opening up had just begun, and Chinese people still did not know how to do business. So Guan Xiaoguan can still stand out with that little bit of experience.
But what she had was actually not going to last long.
It only took Meng Xiaoxing three years to learn all her unique skills. But Su Meng only used one trick to make something out of nothing, and her restaurant was so crowded that it almost closed down. In the end, it was Han Chunming who taught her a trick that brought her business back to life.
Therefore, Guan Xiaoguan has the ability, but it is not indispensable.
And Chunming asked her to take charge of the hotel, and the salary and treatment must be very high. As a result, the price/performance ratio is not high.
Therefore, Xiang Nan plans to hire retired managers and chefs from time-honored restaurants such as Zhengyanglou, Donglaishun, and Fengzeju to manage them.
They have more experience and more sophisticated skills. Jin Manying's employees can benefit a lot from just a few tips.
…
"Oh, Jianjun, just listen to me, the little lazy cat is really good." Chunming begged.
He couldn't bear Guan Xiaoguan working for others in a foreign-related hotel, so he felt more at ease keeping her under his nose. At least she is a member of her own family, no one will bully her.
"Chunming, we are doing business, not playing house." Xiang Nan sighed, "Actually, I don't really want to involve my family and friends. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to talk."
In fact, Cai Xiaoli’s mother is not working yet. It is not difficult to come and stare at this stall.
In real life, many restaurants are mom-and-pop restaurants. As long as they are not unscrupulous, have genuine products at a reasonable price, and taste delicious, they will do well.
"Give me some face, at least let her try." Chunming pleaded.
Xiang Nan had no choice but to nod, "Well, it depends on your face."
"Thank you, thank you, I guarantee she will do a good job." Chunming said happily.
Then, he brought Guan Xiaoguan to Xiang Nan.
"Lazy Mao, this is Cheng Jianjun I often tell you." Chunming introduced, "Chunming, this is Uncle Guan's granddaughter, Guan Xiaoguan."
"Hello, Miss Guan~" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Are you Cheng Jianjun? I've heard of you." Guan Xiaoguan looked at Xiang Nan and said condescendingly, "You seem to be very powerful."
Xiang Nan smiled.
This girl is really not cute.
"Lazy cat~" Seeing Guan Xiaoguan being so rude, Chunming winked at her quickly.
He felt a little nervous when he saw Xiang Nan now. A few days ago, someone was getting married, and even people with the prefix "国" came to congratulate them. How powerful they were.
The little lazy cat can do whatever he wants with him, after all, it is related to the old man’s face. Xiang Nan has nothing to do with her. They don't like her.
"It's just so so." Xiang Nan smiled, not as knowledgeable as Guan Xiaoguan.
This girl was spoiled and spoiled by her parents abroad, even worse than Su Meng.
If you get angry with this kind of person, you won't even be guilty of it.
"I heard Han Chunming say that you are using me because of his face?" Guan Xiaoguan continued, "I tell you no. I, Guan Xiaoguan, rely on my own ability to make a living, not on other people's face. "
"Lazy cat~" Chunming was a little anxious.
"Okay, since you have to rely on your own abilities, let's keep things official." Xiang Nan nodded, "If you want to apply for the job of Jin Manying's manager, let me ask you a few questions first.
How to choose the location of a shabu-shabu restaurant, what kind of decoration style to choose, how to set the price, how to increase the table turnover rate, how to improve the service level..."
Although he has never opened a restaurant, he has at least seen pigs running away.
In real life, there are so many successful business cases, just one of them would be enough to make Guan Xiaoguan dumbfounded.
…
Guan Xiaoguan also didn't expect that Xiang Nan could ask such a professional question, thinking that he was just a layman like Chunming.
Fortunately, she still had some ability, so she finally managed to talk through all these issues.
Xiang Nan smiled and pointed out her shortcomings one by one.
Guan Xiaoguan grew up abroad and did not know much about the national conditions in the mainland.
For example, she thought that as long as she signed a contract with the supplier, she would be able to have genuine food supplies.
But in fact, the mainland is now a seller's market. Mutton, sesame paste, flour, vegetables, liquor, and even seasonings are all monopolized by state-owned companies and are not allowed to be sold by private individuals.
Guan Xiaoguan had stayed in a foreign-related hotel before, and its ingredients were exclusively supplied, so naturally she didn't need to worry about these things.
But the shabu-shabu restaurant is privately owned, so whether it can get a sufficient supply of meat, flour, sesame paste, vegetables, liquor, and seasonings depends on the energy of the owner.
So although money was easy to make at that time, not everyone could make money. Still, people with connections, background, and courage can make more money.
…
Guan Xiaoguan had a sarcastic look on his face after Xiang Nan found out so many mistakes.
Originally, she thought she could show off her skills and impress both Xiang Nan and Chunming.
But she didn't expect that Xiang Nan was actually an expert and had higher abilities than her in restaurant management.
Compared with others, she is just like Lu Ban who plays a big knife in front of the door.
Seeing her look like this, Xiang Nan smiled.
He had long known that Guan Xiaoguan's abilities were average.
Su Meng had never opened a restaurant before, so the first time she attacked, he almost knocked her down. Moreover, she started working in restaurants in the 1980s, and in the 1990s, she still only managed one restaurant.
At the same time, Han Chunming already owned two restaurants, a real estate company, and an engineering company. Even Meng Xiaoxing, who was originally inferior to her, started her own trading company and worked prosperously.
Therefore, Guan Xiaoguan was simply not qualified to show off his authority in front of him.
"Chunming, the interview result is like this, I think there is no need for me to say more." Xiang Nan glanced at Chunming and said.
He originally wanted to give Chunming some face, so he invited Guan Xiaoguan. She's not completely useless anyway.
However, she had to show off her strength. The results proved that she really couldn't do it.
In the play, when Chunming asked her to take over Chaba Tower, Chaba Tower had been open for some time, established a stable supply channel, and even the employees had been trained.
So she just picked something ready-made, and if she did a good job, it wouldn't be a big credit to her. After all, when Cai Xiaoli was in charge, nothing went wrong.
Now Jin Manying is starting from scratch, and Guan Xiaoguan's ability is limited and he simply cannot sustain it.
