Regent, the princess you found is a treasure
Chapter 89 Hot Pot is Popular in Beijing
The 50% off promotion during the three days of trial operation at the hotpot food city was extremely popular. This novel way of eating was enthusiastically sought after by the public. The store was packed every day, and some people would rather wait outside because they were late, just to taste the hotpot.
One cannot help but marvel at the charm of hotpot, which is irresistible in any era!
In the past, Zui Xiang Lou's business was the best in Beijing. However, after Su Luoxue's hot pot restaurant opened, Zui Xiang Lou's boss Cui saw that there were only a few diners in the lobby of the restaurant. He became suspicious and called the waiter: "What's going on? Where are the customers? Why are there no customers?"
"Boss, I heard from others that a new hot pot restaurant opened on the street ahead a few days ago! Many of our old customers now go there to eat hot pot!" the waiter replied helplessly.
"Hot pot?" Boss Cui was completely confused, not knowing what that was. How could this thing attract so many people and even attract his regular customers from Zui Xiang Lou? He secretly made up his mind to go and see for himself what was going on.
"Sir, are you here alone?" When Boss Cui just walked to the door of the hot pot restaurant, a warm waiter came up to greet him.
"Yeah." Boss Cui replied softly. Then, he followed the waiter to the lobby and found a seat to sit down. After a while, the hot pot he ordered was served. Looking at the plates of raw meat and vegetables in front of him, Boss Cui was a little confused for a moment, not knowing where to start.
However, as a restaurant owner after all, Boss Cui quickly mastered the trick after observing the diners at the next table, and began to cook hot pot in a proper manner. Every bite he took brought him an unprecedented wonderful taste, and the surprising taste made him unable to stop. Especially the drink called Coke, which made him praise it highly, and this unique taste was something he had never experienced in his life.
At this moment, Boss Cui finally understood why hot pot was so popular, and he couldn't help but secretly give it a thumbs up in his heart.
After returning to his own Zui Xiang Lou, Boss Cui immediately called a waiter and ordered, "Go find out who the owner of this hot pot restaurant is."
You know, Boss Cui has been working hard in Beijing for many years. He was able to develop Zui Xiang Lou into one of the leading restaurants in Beijing. Naturally, he has extraordinary means and insights.
On the way back, he already had a plan in mind. He knew that in their industry, many things had their own unique recipes. For example, the hot pot soup base and the unique dipping sauce he tried today, their taste was unique and it was difficult to find the exact same taste elsewhere.
Especially the soup base, which actually comes from the old Chongqing hot pot base in Su Luoxue's space refrigerator. This authentic taste cannot be replicated whether in ancient times or modern times. Therefore, Boss Cui was thinking about whether he could cooperate with the owner of the hot pot restaurant.
At first, Mr. Cui had no such plan, but after tasting the hot pot, he realized that this kind of food, this unique way of eating, and those novel drinks would definitely be popular with the public in the future. Therefore, Mr. Cui decided to cooperate with the hot pot restaurant, which can be said to be very far-sighted.
I have to admit that Boss Cui does have a keen business acumen and insight.
The waiter came back after a while, trotting all the way to Boss Cui, and shouted breathlessly, "Boss... Boss, I found out... I've got him." He looked so anxious, as if he was being chased by something.
Boss Cui looked at the out-of-breath waiter in front of him, frowned slightly, but still kept his composure and said calmly: "Don't be impatient, talk slowly!"
The waiter took a deep breath, calmed his breathing a little, and then quickly replied: "I heard that the boss behind the scenes is actually the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion, the future regent princess!" After saying that, the waiter did not forget to secretly observe Boss Cui's reaction.
Boss Cui was really shocked when he heard what the waiter said. He never thought that the boss behind this restaurant would have such a prominent identity. However, if he could establish a relationship with the regent, it would undoubtedly become a powerful umbrella for his business. Thinking of this, Boss Cui's eyes flashed with a hint of shrewdness.
When Banxia conveyed Boss Cui's intention to Su Luoxue, Su Luoxue thought about it for a while. She had been to Zui Xiang Lou before, and the dishes there tasted quite good. It could be said to be the premier restaurant in Beijing.
Therefore, Su Luoxue thought carefully and said, "Our store is now crowded almost every day, and customers often have to wait in line because it is full. In this case, cooperating with Zui Xiang Lou is an excellent choice. We can divert some of our customers to them and let them use our brand to run their business. As for the hot pot soup base, we will deliver it to the store on time every day. After deducting the cost, the profit will be divided into 40% and 60%, with them taking 40% and us taking 60%."
When Banxia conveyed Su Luoxue's conditions to Boss Cui, Boss Cui agreed without any hesitation.
So, the next day, Zui Xiang Lou quickly put up a signboard for cooperation with the hot pot restaurant. This trick really worked, and the restaurant instantly became very lively, with all seats full, and business was extremely hot. Boss Cui was naturally very happy when he saw the crowded scene in front of him. However, those restaurant owners who were slow to react and realized it later could only watch helplessly and regret that they did not seize this opportunity.
Of course, there are also some wives and daughters of noble families and officials who are drooling over this hot pot, but due to their limited status or other reasons, it is inconvenient for them to taste it in person. How to solve this situation? The clever Su Luoxue had already anticipated it and came up with a great solution - launching a takeaway service!
Whether it is the delicious soup base carefully prepared in the store, the secret dipping sauce with unique flavor, or a variety of fresh and delicious side dishes and refreshing drinks, they can all be delivered directly to the customer's home in the form of takeaway. This innovative model quickly set off a wave of enthusiasm among the circles of noble ladies and rich ladies, making the hot pot restaurant's orders come in like snowflakes. In order to cope with the growing business demand, Banxia had to recruit a group of guys who are responsible for delivery. They shuttled between the streets and alleys to deliver the hot pot food to every customer in a timely manner.
