Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 325 What is the first step?

Early the next morning, Chen Jianghai took Fang Aiguo to the Computer City.

Nowadays, there are not many places selling computers in Hangzhou. You can find out the address just by asking anyone.

Ten computers, all with 486 black and white display screens, each cost [-] yuan.

Originally, the price was a little higher, but Chen Jianghai couldn't bear it and bought ten units at once. The boss also heard the news and came to receive him in person. Naturally, he had to give a full discount.

After finishing this matter, Chen Jianghai's purchasing plan in Hangzhou was completed.

But Lin Wanqing's matter has not been resolved yet, so Chen Jianghai is in no hurry to go back.

"Aiguo, you go to the nearby area to investigate and see if there is a good place in Shikou."

Chen Jianghai said to Fang Aiguo.

"Brother Hai, do we really want to open a restaurant?"

Fang Aiguo couldn't help but asked in surprise.

To be honest, if it were to open a restaurant in Linghai, he would totally support it.

But here in Hangcheng, he felt it was not appropriate to leave it to others to manage.

Chen Jianghai nodded: "It depends on the situation. You go for a walk first. I will pick you up later."

"Ok."

Fang Aiguo said no more and agreed.

Then, Chen Jianghai went to find Shang Yuanming.

When he arrived at Lin Wanqing's residence and saw his brother-in-law Shang Yuanming at home, Chen Jianghai knew that these two people must have made a choice.

"Brother-in-law, sister."

Chen Jianghai greeted after entering the room.

Shang Yuanming glanced at Lin Wanqing, who nodded to him.

"Jiang Hai, I want to hear your opinion on opening a restaurant."

Shang Yuanming took the initiative to speak.

"It's very simple. I pay and you pay, split [-]-[-], but only for the first store."

Chen Jianghai directly stated his conditions.

"First store?"

Shang Yuanming quickly grasped the key point.

Chen Jianghai followed up and said: "Actually, I want to build a chain restaurant, and I will definitely open branches in other places in the future. Of course, if you want to open your own branches, there is no problem."

"Jiang Hai, what is a chain hotel?"

Lin Wanqing next to her couldn't help but ask.

Chen Jianghai said with a smile: "To be precise, it should be a chain hot pot restaurant, which is a hot pot restaurant with a fixed model, fixed varieties, and fixed style."

"Hot Pot?"

Lin Wanqing looked surprised.

She obviously didn't expect that what Chen Jianghai would do was this.

Chen Jianghai nodded and said, "Yes, it's hot pot. This is a definitely profitable business."

In the previous life, Haidilao had managed to go public and was definitely a gold-swallowing beast in the catering industry.

Although there has been a lot of negative news and revenue has dropped a lot, these cannot affect Haidilao's status as a big player in the domestic catering industry.

Now that Chen Jianghai has cut off this golden brand in advance, he might even become a big player in the catering industry in the future.

Shang Yuanming and Lin Wanqing looked at each other, not quite understanding what Chen Jianghai was thinking.

"Don't think of this too simply. If you don't do this first step well, it goes without saying what happens next."

Chen Jianghai reminded with a very serious expression.

"Then what's the first step?"

Lin Wanqing asked subconsciously.

“Find the best hotpot.”

Chen Jianghai raised his hand and made circles and said. "Do you still need to look for this?"

Lin Wanqing couldn't help but frown.

"Of course."

Chen Jianghai then said, "Brother-in-law, I might have to trouble you two to go to Sichuan Province."

"Going to Sichuan Province?"

Chen Jianghai said matter-of-factly: "Yes, Qingcheng's hotpot is famous all over the country, and what you have to do is to find the best one, get their recipe, and contact companies such as Mao tripe, duck intestines, Yellow-throated and other specialty sources.”

"What about Hangzhou?"

Shang Yuanming couldn't help but ask.

Chen Jianghai followed up and said: "Don't worry, I have already asked Aiguo to look for a store. It will be opened when you come back."

Hearing Chen Jianghai say this, Shang Yuanming didn't know what to say to express his gratitude.

Of course he understood that when Chen Jianghai said he asked them to go to Sichuan Province to find hot pot, he also meant to let them avoid the limelight.

In this situation, it is the best choice for the two of them to leave Hangzhou.

"Jiang Hai, I didn't expect you to think so carefully."

Lin Wanqing was also a smart person and quickly expressed her gratitude.

Chen Jianghai smiled slightly: "When it comes to making money, you always have to think carefully."

"Why are you helping us so much?" Shang Yuanming suddenly asked a rather childish question.

Chen Jianghai glanced at Lin Wanqing, and then said: "Actually, I have had the idea for this hot pot chain store before, but I have never been able to find a suitable candidate."

Hearing Chen Jianghai's confident answer, Shang Yuanming fell silent for a moment.

He knew that if it weren't for Lin Wanqing's relationship, how could this kind of thing happen to them?
Chen Jianghai actually had something he didn't say, which was that running this hot pot restaurant didn't require much ability.

Haidilao's business model can be copied by Chen Jianghai, as long as the operator can strictly implement it.

"Don't think too much about it. After all, you have stayed in Hangzhou for so many years and are very familiar with it. This is your advantage."

Chen Jianghai comforted him.

"Jiang Hai, you have also seen that we have offended people in Hangzhou. If we really want to open this hot pot restaurant, there will definitely be a lot of problems."

Shang Yuanming shook his head awkwardly and said with some worry.

His worries were unfounded.

People like Luo Dabiao are like dog-skin plaster, not so easy to get rid of.

"Brother-in-law, who is behind Luo Dabiao?"

Chen Jianghai asked, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"He was your brother-in-law's partner before, but after your brother-in-law's accident, he turned his back on me." Lin Wanqing said angrily.

"His name is Yuan Wenshi. On the surface, he is engaged in agency business, but he is involved in more or less gray businesses in the market." Shang Yuanming continued.

Chen Jianghai was stunned for a moment, as if he had heard of this name before, and then asked: "So you don't have any evidence of dealings with him?"

Shang Yuanming sighed and said helplessly: "This man is very smart. He always asks his subordinates to collect money and asks for cash, leaving no evidence at all."

In the 90s, cash was still used, and there were very few things like checks. It was really troublesome to trace them.

"Okay, you don't need to worry about this matter. Let's leave for Sichuan Province tomorrow!" Chen Jianghai suggested.

Shang Yuanming frowned and couldn't help but remind Chen Jianghai: "Yuan Wenshi is not an easy person to deal with."

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will have a good talk with him. I believe he is also a smart man."

Chen Jianghai smiled slightly, with indescribable confidence.

Lin Wanqing wanted to say something else, so Chen Jianghai took out a bank card, handed it over and continued.

"Sister, brother-in-law, here is 5 yuan, which is the cost of your business trip to Sichuan Province. If it is not enough, call me and I will put the money into this card." Chen Jianghai took out a card and said.

Shang Yuan secretly took a breath of cold air.

The initial purchase price is [-] yuan. Is this brother-in-law so rich?
