Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

"Instead of waiting to be exiled, it's better to take the initiative!"

"I plan to follow the method you told me last time. I will hire a group of waiters and chefs and take over the Northern Flavor Restaurant."

"What do you think?"

Li Youcai sighed that Gao Dapeng finally figured it out.

The era of the iron rice bowl will soon be over. The earlier you go into business, the earlier opportunities you will have and the less competition you will face.

"I think you are right!" Li Youcai nodded, agreeing with Gao Dapeng's idea.

Hearing what Li Youcai said, Gao Dapeng seemed to have taken a reassurance pill, and a smile appeared on his face, no longer with a bitter face.

"With your words, I feel more confident. Otherwise, I would be a little timid and wouldn't dare to do it." Gao Dapeng said with a smile.

"Brother Gao, have you thought about your specific plan?" Li Youcai asked.

The catering company contracted out 6 restaurants at one time, which was a considerable amount of money. Li Youcai felt that this was a good opportunity.

"What else can we do? Just like you said last time, find a few waiters and chefs, form a group, and negotiate directly with the company for the contract. After all, I have been in the catering company for so many years, so I am confident that I can contract a restaurant." Gao Dapeng said.

Li Youcai shook his head and said, "Brother Gao, if you had said this a month ago, I would have supported you. But now I think you should take a longer-term view."

What's the meaning?

Gao Dapeng was slightly stunned.

"Brother, I know you have a good brain. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Otherwise, I may not be able to follow your train of thought."

"Brother Gao, you're just a restaurant manager, aren't you satisfied? The catering company wants to contract out six restaurants. Why don't we just set up our own catering company and contract out all six restaurants? It would be so comfortable to be the boss ourselves."

This!

To be honest, Gao Dapeng had never thought about this before.

When I heard Li Youcai say this suddenly, my heart really started pounding.

If he becomes the boss himself, then he will be on the same level as the boss of the catering company in the future.

But no matter what, contracting six state-owned restaurants at once is not a small amount of money.

He definitely can't get it out.

However, Gao Dapeng had good ears and he heard that Li Youcai used the word "we" instead of "you".

Gao Dapeng looked at Li Youcai and asked, "Brother, are you also interested in contracting a restaurant?"

"I do have some ideas, but it depends on you, Brother Gao. If you're willing to do it, we'll do it together. If you're not, I won't get involved in this mess."

Li Youcai said softly, "Brother Gao, you know I'm currently running an ice cream business, and I'm going to build a farmers' market in the spring. I definitely don't have the energy to manage a catering company."

"So, you're the only one who can be the general manager of the catering company. I'll provide the start-up capital, offer advice later on, and maybe even take some shares. But you'll still be the one managing the restaurant."

Li Youcai said this cleverly.

Gao Dapeng, a restaurant manager who relies on salary to make a living, definitely could not afford to set up a company to contract 6 state-owned restaurants at one time.

But Gao Dapeng is also a person who cares about his reputation.

If Li Youcai said that he would be the boss and let Gao Dapeng be his general manager, Gao Dapeng would definitely be embarrassed.

So Li Youcai simply said that he didn't have the energy to manage it, and directly stated that he would not interfere in management work. He also said that he would only take shares. This not only saved Gao Dapeng's face, but also gave the option directly to Gao Dapeng.

After listening to Li Youcai's words, Gao Dapeng fell into deep thought.

Li Youcai gave him a new idea.

One is the manager of a restaurant that is completely under his management, and the other is the CEO of a joint venture catering company. Gao Dapeng kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

After a long moment, Gao Dapeng said, "Brother, the contract fees for six restaurants alone are four to five thousand yuan a month, plus the workers' wages. This month, it's going to cost several thousand yuan. If you lose money, I don't have the money to compensate you."

Li Youcai said with a smile, "As long as Brother Gao is willing to be the general manager, I won't hesitate whether we make a profit or a loss."

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Gao Dapeng is not Li Youcai. Although he has been a hotel manager for several years and has sufficient experience in running hotels, he feels a little guilty about managing six hotels at once and using Li Youcai's money.

Of course everyone would be happy if they made money, but if they lost money, Gao Dapeng was worried that he would not be able to explain to Li Youcai.

"Brother Gao, if you agree, I will tell you my thoughts?" Li Youcai said.

Gao Dapeng nodded: "You go ahead."

"I plan to invest 15,000 yuan in the catering company."

Li Youcai was interrupted by Gao Dapeng as soon as he opened his mouth to speak.

"How much?" Gao Dapeng looked at Li Youcai in astonishment, thinking that he had heard it himself.

"Fifteen thousand." Li Youcai confirmed again.

"Brother, you are really a very capable person! When I first saw you, your tattered cotton-padded jacket was leaking cotton. I didn't expect that you are actually a millionaire!" Gao Dapeng was shocked.

Gao Dapeng knew that Li Youcai was rich before. Renting the old factory for two thousand yuan was a big deal.

But I didn't expect that Li Youcai would be so rich.

Ten thousand yuan household!

In this era, it is definitely a very awesome existence.

"Haha, keep a low profile! Keep a low profile!" Li Youcai smiled guiltily.

Of course he doesn't have that much money now, but his ice cream business is on the right track, with a daily net profit of more than 1600 yuan.

Fifteen thousand yuan would be paid in less than ten days for him.

Li Youcai continued, "I'll put in 40 yuan, which gives me a 6% stake. Brother Gao, you'll be responsible for managing these six restaurants, also owning 40%. The remaining 20% ​​will be used as floating stock. 10% will be given to the next six restaurant managers, and the final 6% will be given to the waiters and chefs. If anyone resigns, their shares will be taken back."

"You paid the money, and I'm just responsible for management. Isn't 40% too much?" Gao Dapeng didn't expect Li Youcai to give him so many shares, and he felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, it is because people in this era do not value personal abilities and resources so much that they feel this way.

But from the perspective of Li Youcai, a reborn person, he got a great bargain by paying 40 yuan for a % stake.

After all, if this matter is to be accomplished, it would definitely not be possible without Gao Dapeng's connections.

Secondly, the hotel will have to face pressure from departments such as industry and commerce, health, taxation, fire protection, and security in the future. With Gao Dapeng in charge, these will not be a problem.

Not everyone has these intangible capitals.

What’s more important is that what Li Youcai values ​​is not just the profits that these restaurants can bring, but the benefits that Gao Dapeng can bring to him after the implementation of the dual-track economic system two years later.

That’s the real big money!

And now is the best time to help Gao Dapeng get on his chariot!

"Brother Gao, please don't refuse. You are my reassurance. If you don't get enough shares, I'll be worried that one day you will be poached by someone else. Now that you are the boss, others can't poach you even if they want to." Li Youcai said with a smile.

Gao Dapeng's face turned red, and a surge of blood rushed to his head. He really felt like he was about to do something big.

"Now that you've said this, if I refuse any further I'll be being hypocritical. I'll do as you say! I'm going to try to rub in the connections and get these six restaurants in one go before the New Year!"

"Then I wish Brother Gao a successful start!"

Li Youcai and Gao Dapeng clasped hands tightly together.
