Chapter 1409 1411【Three chapters of contract】
"Jianjun, Xiaoguan, we will be partners in the future. I hope we can work together for mutual benefit." Su Meng said with a smile.
Xiang Nan and Guan Xiaoguan both nodded, "Definitely, definitely."
After Su Meng took office, she was fine for a month, mainly just looking at reports, checking accounts, and inspecting the following branches.
Xiang Nan expected the new official to take office three fires, but none of them ignited.
This surprised him, and he felt that Su Meng might have matured.
After all, she has experienced so much in the past few months, and it is normal for her to grow.
Maybe she came to be the deputy manager because she wanted to find something to do, not to cause damage, so she put her mind at ease and turned to her own business.
…
In September 1985, Xiang Nan released a new book "Emperor Yongzheng", which once again attracted heated discussions. Known as an excellent work of historical novels, it has surpassed many previous works in profoundly criticizing the hypocrisy and decay of the feudal system and officialdom politics.
While "Emperor Yongzheng" was selling well, Su Meng also proposed a new business plan, suggesting to start a new business and open a high-end restaurant, which is specially responsible for official reception, business reception and tourists.
This plan is essentially Liu Botao's.
But the difference is that this restaurant no longer bears the name of Jin Manying, but has another name.
In this way, Xiang Nan and Guan Xiaoguan's reasons for refusing before are no longer valid.
Jinmanying is a chain store that takes the civilian route and cannot take the high-end route. Then if the new restaurant doesn't hang the Jin Manying brand, it can be upscale.
Xiang Nan and Guan Xiaoguan were caught off guard by this.
"Brother Jianjun, I read her business plan, and I think it is still feasible." Guan Xiaoguan then discussed with Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan nodded.
In principle, high-end restaurants can indeed do it. Moreover, Yanjing is not just a high-end restaurant.
Restaurants like Yanjing Restaurant, Fangshan Restaurant, Tan Family Cuisine, and Li Family Cuisine all follow the high-end route. A table of banquets cost several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan, which was definitely a sky-high price in 1985.
However, he still doesn't want to be a high-end restaurant.
Because he knew that the reason why Liu Botao wanted to take the high-end route, engaging in official receptions and business receptions, was actually because he liked his and Guan Xiaoguan's reputation, and wanted to use their popularity to attract customers and let him be in vain.
Otherwise, the maximum investment to open a high-end restaurant is no more than two to three million. With his net worth, he could start a family by himself, but Jin Manying contributed capital, and let Xiang Nan and Guan Xiaoguan participate in the dividends.
Xiang Nan hates being taken advantage of.
Liu Botao's move can be said to have touched his inverse scales.
He thought he was very smart and could use people invisible, but he forgot that he was not the only smart person in the world.
…
Xiang Nan then told Guan Xiaoguan about his analysis.
Hearing what he said, Guan Xiaoguan suddenly realized.
No wonder Liu Botao wanted to open a high-end restaurant, so he wanted to attract customers under the guise of the two of them.
After Guan Xiaoguan was hailed as a model of patriotic overseas Chinese in 1982, he still enjoys dividends until now.
Xiang Nan was even worse. A well-known writer in China, a professor at Peking University, has peaches and plums all over the world, and acquaintances all over Kyushu. Up to the sky, down to the earth. It is not an exaggeration to say that when you stomp your feet, the building in front of you trembles.
The two of them are going to open a high-end restaurant, and there will indeed be no shortage of customers. But it is not practical to make money like this. The government makes repeated orders to stop eating and drinking.
They sailed against the wind. Even if it's not illegal, it's not good for them. After all, they open civilian restaurants and make money as well, and the money is more solid.
"Hmph, he really has a good plan. He borrows our name to open a high-end restaurant, and uses our connections and fame to help him make money. Put us in the front, and he hides himself in the back. We will be responsible for the accident, and he himself How can there be such a cheap thing to hide and count the money!" Guan Xiaoguan also said angrily.
She has always taken advantage of others, when it is her turn to take advantage of her, it is really hateful!
"Brother Jianjun, let's not agree to this plan." Guan Xiaoguan said again immediately.
"It's not the way to be stubborn." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "I have an idea, let's do it like this..."
Guan Xiaoguan nodded upon hearing this.
…
Later, after discussing with Guan Xiaoguan, Xiang Nan found Su Meng and talked with her.
"Su Meng, it's fine to be a high-end restaurant, but I made it clear in advance that after the restaurant opens, you are not allowed to borrow my name." Xiang Nan said to Su Meng, "If there is any violation, I will not only sue, but also withdraw the capital. Agree to this, and let's talk about opening a restaurant."
"Yes, you are not allowed to use my name." Guan Xiaoguan also said, "This clause must be recorded in the contract. If there is any violation, Brother Jianjun and I will withdraw the capital. And you will have to pay to buy me and Jianjun." Brother Jun's shares."
Su Meng was taken aback when she heard this, and then smiled.
"Cheng Jianjun, Guan Xiaoguan, do you think that you two are the only celebrities in the whole capital, and you need to rely on your contacts to attract business to open a restaurant. To tell you the truth, even if you want to do this, I, Su Meng, don't bother to do it." she sneered.
Hearing what she said, Guan Xiaoguan was very angry.
It's been a long time since I met a woman who is more proud than her.
Xiang Nan was not angry.
Because he knows Su Meng's ability. She really didn't see her uncle's plan, that's why she dared to speak so forcefully. In other words, she is stupid without knowing it.
"Okay, since you don't care about it, that's the best." Xiang Nan nodded, "Then go back and discuss it with your uncle. If he agrees, then we will sign the contract."
"Okay." Su Meng nodded, then got up and left.
…
Back to her uncle's house, Su Meng told her uncle Xiang Nan and Guan Xiaoguan's reply.
"Cheng Jianjun has been too inflated these years. I really think that without him, others can't do anything. It's really abominable!" dissatisfied.
Liu Botao shook his head and sighed, "Mengmeng, you are so confused!"
If Xiang Nan and Guan Xiaoguan don't agree that the new restaurant will use their names to publicize and use their contacts to attract customers, then why should he cooperate with them.
You know, opening a restaurant is very easy, with a maximum investment of two to three million, you can own the best restaurant in Beijing today.
However, if you have no network resources, why do you come for those official receptions and business receptions? If you can't get these big orders, how can you make money just by relying on a few individual customers?
"Uncle, are you really going to use the name of Cheng Jianjun and Guan Xiaoguan to solicit customers?" Su Meng asked in surprise.
At this time, she realized that Xiang Nan and Guan Xiaoguan were not self-indulgent. People have seen through Liu Botao's schemes for a long time, so they established the rules in advance, but it's a pity that she didn't understand until now.
Thinking of what she said about Xiang Nan and Xiao Guan just now, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and flustered on her face.
