Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Chapter 255: Finding a Shop (2)

At this moment, Zhu Qingqing's bright and determined eyes looked straight at Team Leader Yang. She nodded slightly and then said, "If you want to make money, you must act quickly! Team Leader Yang, after careful consideration and meticulous planning, I plan to officially open our store in ten days! This time is indeed quite tight, so in the next few days, I'm afraid I will really need your Yang family to give us full cooperation and strong support!"

Upon hearing this, Team Leader Yang was startled, a hint of surprise on his face. Then, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked awkwardly, "Ten days? They're planning to open the shop in such a hurry?" He pondered to himself. He had originally thought Zhu Qingqing would wait until after the New Year to consider the matter. After all, the Zhu family had only just arrived in the city and weren't fully familiar with the surroundings. Furthermore, they'd been traveling so long, so they probably hadn't gotten enough rest.

Zhu Qingqing smiled and explained to Team Leader Yang, "You might not know this, but right now is the perfect time to enjoy hot pot! However, once May and June arrive and the weather warms up, diners' tastes will change, and we'll have to switch to lighter and more delicious dishes. Besides, the Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and during this time, people are keen on spending, eating, drinking, and having fun! So, if we introduce new and unique dishes like hot pot at the right time, it's sure to attract many customers. You know, those of us in the restaurant industry must understand the changing patterns of the seasons and offer a variety of delicious dishes accordingly. Only in this way can we run a prosperous and long-lasting business!"

Team Leader Yang couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly after hearing this, sighing, "Oh my! It's true that different trades are like different worlds! I never imagined before that opening a restaurant actually involves so many tricks and knowledge! No wonder the restaurants under our Yang family's name have always had a slow business. Master Zhu, since you are so proficient in this area, please feel free to go all out! If you need anything or encounter any difficulties, just tell Yang Wu to take care of it. And, for the next few days, let Yang Wu accompany you throughout the process to assist you."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu quickly responded, "As you command!"

At this time, Yang Jiu saw that Team Leader Yang did not mention him, and hurriedly asked: "Second Master, what about me?"

Team Leader Yang turned around and glanced at Yang Jiu and Li Quan standing beside them. After a moment's thought, he said, "Well, the two of you should follow Master Zhu and run errands together."

Yang Jiu was overjoyed and quickly patted his chest and promised, "Yes, Second Master! I will be there whenever you call me and will not dare to slack off even for a moment!"

Li Quan seemed relatively calm. He did not say much, but just bowed respectfully to Team Leader Yang, indicating that he understood and accepted the order.

Zhu Qingqing: "The three of them are good helpers. We are borrowing them for the time being. They will still have to follow Team Leader Yang in the future.

When Yang San returns, I'll officially accept him as my apprentice. If the Yang family needs any more people to train, please arrange for them to come over as soon as possible. Also, please find some quick-witted and diligent boys and girls in their teens and twenties. I want to train them to be store clerks."

Team Leader Yang: "I'll take care of this."

Zhu Qingqing smiled and said, "Let's decide on this for now. We'll go look for a suitable shop together later. After the shop is decided, I can better plan the decoration plan." Her eyes flashed with anticipation and excitement.

Team Leader Yang nodded and then asked, "Master Zhu, what are your specific requirements for this shop? And what is the approximate size of the shop floor?"

Zhu Qingqing thought for a moment, then answered seriously: "Well... my idea is to open a store in the east part of Dongcheng. After all, that's where rich people live. Opening a store there can just target the wallets of those rich people and make a lot of money! As for the future, if things develop smoothly, we can also consider opening a few more branches in North City and South City." When she said this, she couldn't help but smile with anticipation.

When Team Leader Yang heard this, his eyes lit up.

But soon, Zhu Qingqing collected her thoughts and continued, "Oh, it's a bit too far-fetched to talk about these things now. Let's finish this first store first. Naturally, the bigger the first store, the better, because we want to take the high-end route and serve those rich people. So the store can't be small. It's best to have a beautiful garden and a spacious yard, so that customers can feel the elegant and comfortable atmosphere as soon as they come in. And there must be enough rooms, at least a dozen or even twenty elegant private rooms. Each private room should either have a large round table for group dinners, or an exquisite square table for small gatherings. In addition, this store does not need a lobby. I think rich people like those would not be willing to squeeze together with others to dine in the lobby.

"The restaurant we opened is the first hot pot restaurant in the city, and even in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty! So the quality can't be lowered!"

Zhu Qingqing's eyes were bright and her words were powerful.

Team Leader Yang nodded in agreement. "Master Zhu is absolutely right," he said. "This is truly a thoughtful approach. You know, as a pioneering initiative, if we don't establish a high standard and quality from the outset, it will be incredibly difficult to improve on it later. So, if we're going to do something, we have to be the best."

Zhu Yingying, who was standing by, chimed in, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean. We want to create a brand that's unique and better than others."

Team leader Yang repeated the phrase "I have what others don't, but I am better than others", and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

"Okay, let's do as Master Zhu says. Yang Wu, find the best shop."
