Chapter 1395 1397 [Little Lazy Cat]
Subsequently, Xiang Nan and Chunming each contributed 20,000 yuan to open the first shabu-shabu restaurant.
Xiang Nan named it [Jin Manying], and asked for a favor.
Chunming is going to invite Guan Xiaoguan to be the manager of the shabu-shabu restaurant.
Guan Xiaoguan is the granddaughter of Mr. Guan, nicknamed Little Lazy Cat. I have been living in the United States with my parents before, and I returned to Beijing in 1981, and now I am working as a manager in a foreign-related hotel.
Chunming liked her ability, and she was the granddaughter of his master, so he wanted to poach her.
However, Xiang Nan didn't quite agree with this.
Guan Xiaoguan has the ability to manage restaurants, but that's because she grew up in restaurants, and she has a certain amount of experience.
In addition to the 1980s, just after the reform and opening up, Chinese people still don't know how to do business. So Guan Xiaoguan can still stand out with that little experience.
But her little things can't last long.
Meng Xiaoxing learned all of her unique skills in only three years. But Su Meng only used a trick of creating something out of nothing, and almost closed her restaurant. In the end, it was Han Chunming who taught her a trick, which brought her business back to life.
Therefore, Guan Xiaoguan ability is there, but it is not indispensable.
And Chunming asked her to run the restaurant, the wages and treatment must be very high. In this way, the price-performance ratio is not high.
Therefore, Xiang Nan plans to hire retired managers and head chefs to manage Zhengyanglou, Donglaishun, Fengzeju and other time-honored restaurants.
They are more experienced and more skilled. The employees of Jin Manying can benefit a lot by teaching a few tricks.
…
"Oh, Jianjun, just listen to me, the little lazy cat is really good." Chunming begged.
He couldn't bear Guan Xiaoguan working for someone else in a hotel related to foreign affairs, and felt that it would be more at ease to keep her under his nose. At least her own family, no one will bully her.
"Chunming, we are doing business, not playing games." Xiang Nan sighed, "Actually, I don't want to involve my family and friends too much. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it's hard to talk about it."
Actually, Cai Xiaoli's mother hasn't worked 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 unconscionable, genuine and delicious, the business will be good.
"Give me some face, at least let her try." Chunming begged.
Xiang Nan had no choice but to nod his head, "Well, it's for your sake."
"Thank you, thank you, I promise she will do a good job." Chunming said happily.
After that, he brought Guan Xiaoguan to Xiang Nan.
"Lazy cat, this is the Cheng Jianjun I often mention to you." Chunming introduced, "Chunming, this is Uncle Guan's granddaughter, Guan Xiaoguan."
"Miss Guan, hello~" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"You are 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 impolite, Chunming quickly winked at her.
Now seeing Xiang Nan, his liver trembled a little. A few days ago, when they got married, they even came to congratulate them with the initials of the country, what a power.
Little lazy cat can be willful with him, after all, it is about the face of the old man. Xiang Nan has nothing to do with her, people don't like her.
"So-so." Xiang Nan smiled, not as knowledgeable as Guan Xiaoguan.
Getting angry with this kind of person is not even your fault.
"I heard from Han Chunming that you only use me because of his face?" Guan Xiaoguan continued, "I told you not to. I, Guan Xiaoguan, rely on my own ability to make a living, not others' face. "
"Lazy cat~" Chunming got a little anxious.
"Well, since you insist on relying on your own ability, then let's do business." Xiang Nan nodded, "You want to apply for Jin Manying's manager, then let me ask you a few questions first.
How to choose the location of Shabu Shabu Restaurant, what kind of decoration style to choose, how to set the price, how to increase the turnover rate, how to improve the service level..."
Although he has never opened a restaurant, at least he has seen pigs run away.
In real life, there are so many successful business cases, even taking out one is enough to make Guan Xiaoguan dumbfounded.
…
Guan Xiaoguan didn't expect that Xiang Nan could ask such a professional question. He thought he was an outsider like Chunming.
Fortunately, she still has some abilities, so she stuttered and said all these questions in the end.
Xiang Nan smiled and pointed out her shortcomings one by one.
Guan Xiaoguan grew up abroad since he was a child, and he doesn't 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 could 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 private sales are not allowed.
Guan Xiaoguan stayed in a foreign-related hotel before, and its ingredients were all specially provided, so she naturally didn't need to worry about these things.
But the shabu-shabu restaurants are privately owned. Whether they can get enough meat, flour, sesame paste, vegetables, white wine, and seasonings depends on the energy of the boss.
So although money was easy to make at the time, not everyone could make money. People with connections, backgrounds, and courage can make more money.
…
Guan Xiaoguan was a little embarrassed after Xiang Nan picked out so many mistakes.
At first, she thought that she could show her skills and impress both Xiang Nan and Chunming.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan is actually an expert, and his ability in restaurant management is higher than her.
Compared to others, she is just playing a big knife in front of Lu Ban's door.
Seeing her appearance, Xiang Nan smiled.
He already knew that Guan Xiaoguan's abilities are average.
Su Meng has never opened a restaurant before, and the first time she made a move, she almost beat her to the ground. Moreover, she started working in restaurants in the 1980s, and in the 1990s, she still only guarded one restaurant.
At the same time, Han Chunming already had two restaurants, a real estate company, and an engineering company. Even Meng Xiaoxing, who was originally inferior to her, set up her own trading company and did very well.
So, for Guan Xiaoguan to flaunt his prestige in front of him, he is not qualified at all.
"Chunming, the result of the interview is like this, so I don't think I need to say more." Xiang Nan glanced at Chunming and said.
He also wanted to give Chunming face, so he invited Guan Xiaoguan. She wasn't completely useless anyway.
However, she insisted on showing off her strength. It turns out that she really can't do it.
In the play, when Chunming asked her to pick up the Chabalou, the Chabalou had been open for a while, a stable supply channel had been established, and even the staff had been trained.
So she picked up a ready-made one, and it's not too much credit for her to do a good job. After all, when Cai Xiaoli was in charge, nothing went wrong.
Now Jin Manying is starting from scratch, Guan Xiaoguan's ability is limited, and he can't support it at all.
