Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 22 Huo Yuhao, the Business Prodigy!
"Regarding the shares, our Da family only needs 30%, and the remaining 70% belongs to you! However, I want a promise from you: from now on, all operations related to hot pot will be handled by our Da family, and we will be your sole partner! If you have any new ideas or improvements in the future, they can only be implemented in our own stores and cannot be used to cooperate with other families or sects."

A glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Exclusive agency rights? Monopoly?

This Leonardo da Vinci truly lives up to his reputation as the clan leader; he possesses such vision and courage!
"Okay! It's settled!"

After a moment's thought, Huo Yuhao readily agreed. Cooperating with such a smart person would save him a lot of trouble.

Moreover, he will definitely spend most of his energy on Soul Master cultivation in the future, so he won't have time to deal with these messy things. His initial purpose in entering the business world was just to make some money to exchange for cultivation resources.

With the general direction set, the next step is to discuss the details of the cooperation and related matters regarding opening the store.

As a jack-of-all-trades keyboard warrior, Huo Yuhao may lack practical experience in trading, but his vision and strategic thinking are clearly unmatched by the backward Douluo Continent era.

Therefore, their discussion was very simple: Huo Yuhao would propose an idea, and then Leonardo da Vinci would supplement and refine it with details, turning the idea into a practical guiding outline. In just one afternoon, the two had finalized most of the details regarding the hot pot chain store. The next step was to gather manpower and resources and begin implementation.

"Mr. Huo, do you have any suggestions for the name of that shop?" Leonardo da Vinci suddenly remembered something and asked.

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, then his mind raced, and he laughed, "Well, the more upscale one in Shrek City is called 'Lake Bottom Hot Pot'! As for this one on Shrek Commercial Street, it's called 'Little Threshold' Skewers!"

"As for the difference in operating style, it will follow the standard I just mentioned. The core concept is that the former is 'high-end, classy, ​​and sophisticated,' while the latter is 'free, easy, and down-to-earth!'"

"Lake Bottom Fishing? Small Threshold?" Leonardo da Vinci muttered to himself, getting more and more excited as he read it, and suddenly had the illusion that these two names were the only appropriate ones!
"Alright, Chief Da, it's settled then! I'll draft a contract when we get back, and we can start work tomorrow after we sign it. When you get back today, you can find someone to scout locations in Shrek City, and you can start preparing the manpower as well. I don't like to procrastinate, so the sooner we finish, the better we can move on to the next step." Huo Yuhao stood up and smiled.

As for the other party's breach of contract, Huo Yuhao was not worried at all. In the Douluo Continent, where Soul Masters were so powerful, would a small merchant family dare to offend him, the personal disciple of an eighth-level Soul Master? Not to mention that he had a group of nominal teachers behind him!
“Of course, leave everything to me!” Leonardo da Vinci also stood up, looking quite confident.

Da Vinci's eyes were filled with amazement as he watched Huo Yuhao walk towards Shrek Academy!
It's unbelievable! At such a young age, he has such amazing business talent. What a business prodigy!
Leonardo da Vinci sighed as he glanced at his chubby, adorable son.

Sigh, well, he's still my son. Even though he's a bit slow, he's lucky, at least he got to meet a genius like Huo Yuhao.
Although Da Vinci didn't know Huo Yuhao's specific Soul Master level, being accepted as a private disciple by an eighth-level Soul Master like Fan Yu meant that his talent couldn't be bad, right?

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.

"Hmm? What's that smell? It smells so good!" Jiang Nannan, the most beautiful girl in the Foreign Languages ​​Department, was walking along Shrek Commercial Street when she was suddenly attracted by a newly opened restaurant and turned her head in surprise.

Hearing her friend speak, Tang Ya sniffed and exclaimed in surprise, "This is... the smell of Yuhao's hot pot?"

"Yuhao? Who is Yuhao?" Jiang Nannan looked at Tang Ya in confusion.

When Beibei saw the two women suddenly stop and walk over, she smelled the familiar fragrance and exclaimed in surprise, "It really does smell like Yuhao's cooking. Does he have a shop on the commercial street too?"

Tang Ya suddenly felt a craving stirring in her stomach!
She and Bei Bei had eaten Huo Yuhao's hot pot a few times. Although Huo Yuhao had taught them how to make it, it still didn't taste as good as Huo Yuhao's own cooking. Unexpectedly, they smelled that familiar aroma on the street today.

"Nannan, let's skip the cafeteria today and eat this instead! I promise, once you try it, you'll love it!"

Jiang Nannan looked at Tang Ya suspiciously: "Is it really that delicious?"

"Don't worry! Trust me!" With that, Tang Ya pulled Jiang Nannan into the newly opened "Xiao Long Kan" skewers restaurant.

On the left was a tempting red oil broth, and on the right was a light green clear broth. Jiang Nannan slurped the skewer of chili beef into her mouth and her eyes lit up.

"The beef is tender, the spiciness is just right, and there's this unique yin-yang hot pot. Did Huo Yuhao invent all of these things?"

Tang Ya had already devoured dozens of skewers, her mouth stuffed full of all sorts of novel foods.

"Yeah! This flavor is definitely Yuhao's doing. Although it's not as good as what he makes himself, it's about 80 or 90% as good. It's so delicious!"

Watching Tang Ya eat with great relish, Jiang Nannan seemed lost in thought, her eyes gleaming.

Because of her family's financial situation, Jiang Nannan has always been very sensitive about money. Looking at the packed restaurant and the tables outside, and considering the cost of the ingredients, a quick calculation shows that at one copper soul coin per skewer, the profit per day must be incredibly high!
This guy named Huo Yuhao is definitely a business genius!
"Xiaoya, when are you free? Could you introduce this Huo Yuhao that you've been talking about?"

"Sure, no problem." Tang Ya's mind was completely focused on the food, so she casually agreed.

Two days later, in Huo Yuhao's dormitory, Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan gathered together and showed off their authentic Huo-style butter hot pot.

"You want to invest?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously, looking at the most beautiful girl in the outer courtyard.

"Yes, is that alright?" Jiang Nannan looked at the handsome young man, who was actually a few years younger than her, with surprise, still finding it somewhat unbelievable.

He's the owner of "Xiaomenkan" skewers? My goodness! His talent for making money is incredible!

"I'm sorry, this shop is a joint venture, so I can't add you. But, if you really want to make some money, I do have an idea."

"Hey, have you heard? Jiang Nannan, the most beautiful girl in our college, went to that 'Xiaomenkan' skewers restaurant outside the East Gate and raved about it! She even went back for three more days in a row, and they still have her portrait on the door!"

"Really?! Is it that delicious? Let's go try it tonight!"

"Absolutely! I heard that Senior Brother Beibei went too! Oh! My handsome Senior Brother Beibei, I have to invite Xiaoli to go with me!"

"Hmm? Jiang Nannan? How about I go there for dinner tonight? I can eat and peek at her at the same time?"

At lunchtime, Huo Yuhao stood not far away watching the bustling crowd at "Xiaomenkan" and murmured, "It's a pity there's no Xiaohongshu or Douyin, otherwise, the effect of online influencers visiting restaurants would definitely be better."

"Forget it, let's leave it at that. Tomorrow, let Da Jiangyou take over the two shops next door as well, since they're not going to stay in business anyway."

"And in another month, 'Lake Bottom Hot Pot' in Shrek City will also open. Once the franchise stores open, my source of in-game currency will be guaranteed."
