Chapter 74: Calculation
Looking at Ding Quan's retreating figure, Zhang Laifu frowned, "How come there are so many people looking for Lady Xia these days?"
I asked him for directions and inquired about Xia in the past few days. There are not ten but seven or eight of the bright moons.
“I chatted a little more with the person who asked for directions that day. I said that seeing how good Mrs. Xia’s Xia Ji business was, I wanted to do business with Mrs. Xia. I wanted to see if Mrs. Xia would allow it. Joining is not allowed,” the guy replied.
Join?
Zhang Laifu tasted the word "pin" carefully.
Speaking of which, the food stall opened by Jiang Erniu on North Street is also called Xia Ji, and he should be joining Xia Mingyue's food business.
And since Jiang Erniu started joining, his business has been good...
It makes people jealous and angry.
No wonder Jiang Erniu was encouraged to go and cause trouble for Xia Mingyue. At first, Jiang Erniu looked aggressive and wanted to be at odds with Xia Mingyue, but in the blink of an eye, he changed the direction and started talking about his own faults. , and within two days he was doing business with Xia Mingyue.
I'm sorry to say that I'm rushing to fawn over you.
And the flattery was so successful...
Maybe it was because he betrayed him?
Told Xia Mingyue everything about Dao Xia Ji and Xia Mingyue behind his back, so that Xia Mingyue felt that Jiang Erniu was a good person and could rest assured about him.
This Jiang Erniu is very insidious and cunning!
I was completely fooled by his honest and honest appearance!
The more Zhang Laifu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he almost broke his teeth.
Here, Ding Quan found Xia Mingyue's home according to what the guy said.
But Xia Mingyue’s family had guests at this time, and there were more than one.
In addition to a person who was talking face to face with Xia Mingyue in the shade at the door of the hall, there were two other people sitting at the square table placed under the shade of the apricot tree next to the gatehouse.
Jiang Zhuguo saw Ding Quan coming over, "Are you here to talk about joining?"
"Exactly." Ding Quan replied quickly.
"Excuse me, please wait here for a while." Jiang Zhuguo guided Ding Quan to sit down at the square table, took the tea bowl used for entertaining guests and poured a bowl of tea.
"Thank you." Ding Quan politely thanked him and sat down.
After Jiang Zhuguo left, the other two people at the square table looked at Ding Quan with some hostility in their eyes.
The boundaries of Jinqiu County are limited. If this food stall can be franchised, it will not be able to open everywhere, so the number must be limited.
But there are a lot of people coming to ask about joining. The typical situation is that there are more wolves and less meat, so there is a need to fight for it.
Since they are competitive threats to each other, they are naturally considered enemies.
Ding Quan felt the unfriendliness of the two people and just smiled, "You two also came to see Madam Xia to talk about joining?"
"You didn't talk about joining when you came here. Are you here to buy groceries?" The tall and thin man sneered.
"I wonder what you two did for a living before?" Ding Quan's smile did not diminish.
“What does it have to do with you?” The pudgy man curled his lips, “You want to get close to us and find out something, so that you can add insult to injury in front of Madam Xia and accuse us? I tell you, take a break as soon as possible. I've seen this a lot."
"Yes." The tall and thin man agreed. He smiles playfully when he comes up, and he doesn't stop even after being insulted. What else can he do if he doesn't have ulterior motives?
Few people smile when they treat strangers, let alone competitors?
There must be something fishy here!
Yes, I think of people quite darkly.
Ding Quan was a little helpless and didn't bother to refute. He just covered up his smile and lowered his head to drink the tea in the bowl.
The tea is not a good tea, but because it has been cooled down, it is comfortable to drink in this hot summer weather and is very thirst-quenching.
Ding Quan walked all the way from Beicheng District, sweating a lot on the way, and now he felt a little thirsty, so he drank all the tea in the bowl in one go.
"You're drinking like a cow, you really don't understand the rules at all." The short and fat man muttered to the tall and thin man in a low voice, "Ms. Xia is a woman, and this woman likes to pay attention to the details the most. For someone like him who doesn't understand the rules, Madam Xia will definitely look down upon her.”
"That's for sure." The tall and thin man agreed, "It doesn't look like a business person."
After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at the man who was talking to Xia Mingyue at this time. He sneered, "The one who looks timid, I guess It doesn’t work even if you touch it.”
“What’s the point? Everyone thinks that this small business is very easy to do. Everyone wants to do it when they see the money, but they don’t even think about it. Every industry has its own way. It's easy. If it were easy, we would We two brothers have been doing small business for so many years, how come we don’t even have any money..."
"Keep your voice down." The tall and thin man interrupted the short and fat man, "Don’t do it. Let Madam Xia know that we are one family.”
With so many people coming to talk about joining, you must choose one from them.
If two people count as one family, the probability will be much smaller, but if two people count as two families, won’t the probability go up?
No matter who of two people can win the opportunity to join, it will be easier if they don't do business with the other person.
This is a consensus reached by two people, so it cannot be too obvious at this time.
“I understand, I understand.” The short and fat man nodded repeatedly, “But I must remember to take the opportunity to compliment each other later, so that Madam Xia will feel that we two are broad-minded and leave a good impression.”< br>
As long as the eyes are closed, everything will be easy to say.
“Don’t worry, I understand.” The tall and thin man agreed repeatedly.
"Then I'll take my leave first." The man who had been talking to Xia Mingyue for a long time stood up, "I will think about it carefully when I get back, and then I will reply to Madam Xia."
"Let's go slowly." Xia Mingyue stood up to see off the guests.
"Ms. Xia, stay." The man held his hands and strode out of the yard.
"Ms. Xia." The tall and thin man stood up first and walked quickly to Xia Mingyue.
"Please sit down." Xia Mingyue raised her hand to greet her.
“Thank you Madam Xia.” The tall and thin man sat opposite Xia Mingyue with a smile on his face, “Madam Xia probably doesn’t know that I was in the food business before and I know the business here very well. I also have quite a lot of experience..."
What he said was clear and logical, like someone who has been doing small business for many years.
Xia Mingyue nodded slightly.
"I've heard for a long time that the food at Madam Xia's place is delicious. I've eaten here twice. It's really delicious. Recently, I've been thinking about joining the franchise."
The tall and thin man smiled. Said, "I just don't know how Madam Xia's franchise method works."
" The franchise fee is five taels of silver, and the management fee is one tael of silver per year. All the ingredients are provided here, and they are taught how to make them. The same is true when there are new foods in the future. You can freely choose the foods sold according to the business conditions of your stall. " Mingyue briefly talked about the fees and service standards.
The tall and thin man thought about it briefly and nodded, "The price is fair, very good, just as Mrs. Xia said, then I will pay the money tomorrow?"
Still needed Monthly ticket...crying
