Chapter 80 People who value friendship and loyalty cannot achieve great business
Zhang Hubing didn't quite understand what he heard, but he knew that if a person had money and power, he would definitely be superior to others.
Zhang Hubing said, "I'll leave this task to Xiaobing. When he becomes an official, our family will be powerful."
Zhang Hulan rolled her eyes at Zhang Hubing and said, “You don’t work hard yourself, but put the pressure on your son. You are really a loser.
Other parents try their best to build bridges and pave the way for their children, but you are so good that you actually want to eat your children."
The two of them went to another restaurant arguing with each other.
"Yiweixuan", just looking at the door, it feels a step behind Yaxianglou.
Zhang Hulan walked to the main entrance, and Yiweixuan's waiter immediately came out to greet her, "Please come in, both of you!"
The waiter greeted us warmly, "What would you like to eat?"
Zhang Hulan didn't beat around the bush and said, "I'm here to discuss business. I have some business that I'd like to discuss with your boss."
"Business?" The clerk was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then wait a moment, the shopkeeper has gone out to buy something and should be back soon."
The waiter also poured water for Zhang Hulan and Zhang Hubing, "Have some water, sit down and wait."
Zhang Hulan nodded and smiled, "Thank you!"
Zhang Hubing whispered, "This is how business is done. Unlike that family, they looked down on others and acted arrogantly."
After waiting for a while, the owner of Yiweixuan came back with a basket of things. It seemed that he had gone to purchase some things.
The clerk quickly stepped forward to help carry the things and pointed at Zhang Hulan and the others and said, "Boss, those two said they came to discuss business with you."
The shopkeeper immediately walked over to Zhang Hulan and Zhang Hubing with a smile, then bowed to Zhang Hubing and said, "I wonder what business you two would like to discuss with Qian?"
Zhang Hubing pointed at Zhang Hulan and said, "She's the one who wants to talk."
Shopkeeper Qian was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed to Zhang Hulan and said, "Excuse me, what is your name, Madam?"
Zhang Hulan returned the greeting, "My last name is Zhang."
Shopkeeper Qian asked again, "What kind of business does Madam Zhang want to discuss with me?"
Zhang Hulan took out the braised meat she had brought. "This is it. This is the braised meat I made. Shopkeeper Qian, you can try it first. If you're interested, we can talk later."
Shopkeeper Qian smelled it and found the smell very unique, like the smell of Chinese medicine, but not as strong as the smell of medicinal food.
Shopkeeper Qian tasted some of the pig's head and found it had a unique flavor. He asked, "Did Mrs. Zhang make this herself?"
Zhang Hulan nodded. "Yes. To be honest with you, Shopkeeper Qian, we're from Changning County. The restaurants in Changning County have started selling my braised meat again, and business is booming."
Zhang Hulan pointed at the braised pork intestines and other things and said, "Manager Qian, try the other things."
After tasting the pig intestines and a few other dishes, Shopkeeper Qian nodded. "They all taste very good. I wonder how Madam Zhang would like to cooperate?"
Zhang Hulan explained the prices, "Pork head is 40 wen per jin, pig ears are 60 wen per jin, and pig tongue is 80 wen per jin. Large intestine is also 80 wen, and the sausage rolls and pig stomach are 50 wen each. Pig brain is also 50 wen each."
“It’s not cheap.”
"Shopkeeper Qian, the price I give you is the same as that of other restaurants. My products are all priced uniformly and I won't sell them to you at a high price. Moreover, I only cooperate with one restaurant in each county and will not sell them to a second one."
Shopkeeper Qian smiled and said, "To be honest with you, Madam Zhang, my restaurant's business isn't very good. It's all maintained by a few long-term customers. If Madam Zhang wants to make money, it would be better for her to negotiate with other restaurants. I can't sell much here every day, so I don't want to hinder Madam Zhang's fortune."
Zhang Hulan asked, "Manager Qian, you're joking, right? Your restaurant has a great location, so business should be pretty good."
"Business is not good." Shopkeeper Qian shook his head and said, "It used to be okay. But before the New Year, Yaxianglou hired a chef from elsewhere. The dishes he cooked were delicious and there were many dishes. Plus, Yaxianglou was opened by the county magistrate's brother-in-law, so many people went to Yaxianglou to eat, and all the business was taken away.
I've been barely holding on for the past six months. Mainly because this restaurant was left to me by my father, and I don't want it to be ruined in my hands, so I've been holding on."
Zhang Hulan asked again, "Then the food at Yaxianglou is much better than the food at your place, Shopkeeper Qian?"
Shopkeeper Qian said, "It's not that much better, it's just that they change the dishes quite often. Eating the same dish for too long will definitely make you tired, and everyone will definitely want to change their taste."
"Then you change too!"
Shopkeeper Qian waved his hand and smiled, "How can we change the menu so easily? If the new dishes don't taste good, they'll drive away the regular customers. My chef has tried some new dishes, but they didn't taste very good, so I stopped him."
"Let your cook learn it? Or just change the cook."
Shopkeeper Qian smiled and waved his hand again, "This chef is an old man here, and his father is an old chef who followed my father.
Later, when I took over the restaurant, the old chef was no longer able to work, so I let his son take over.
He's been with me for decades, so it's hard to replace him. As a human being, you have to be considerate. Even if there's no merit, there's always hard work."
Well, this is a businessman who values friendship. As the saying goes, there is no business without dishonesty, and people who value friendship too much are not suitable for doing business.
Loyalty and trustworthiness are different. In life and work, we should emphasize trustworthiness and trustworthiness. Loyalty is also important, but in business, if everything is based on loyalty, you won't be able to expand your business.
However, it is more reassuring to make friends with people who value friendship.
Zhang Hulan thought for a moment and said, "Manager Qian, how about you cook a few dishes from your restaurant so I can try them for you?
Although I am not a professional chef, I do know a little about food.
Let me be clear, I don't want to eat for free here."
Shopkeeper Qian laughed heartily. "Madam Zhang, you're joking. Madam Zhang has come all the way here, so what's the harm in me treating her to a meal?"
Shopkeeper Qian waved to the waiter, "Go tell Chef Wan to make one of all the dishes in our restaurant."
Zhang Hulan said quickly, "You don't have to make all of them. Just make two of his specialties and two home-cooked dishes."
Shopkeeper Qian nodded and said, "Okay, then make fewer dishes."
The waiter immediately ran to the kitchen, while Zhang Hulan and Manager Qian waited outside while chatting.
About half an hour later, the waiter came over with several dishes.
There are four dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. The meat dishes are braised carp and stewed lamb; the vegetable dishes are fried tofu and fried eggplant.
Shopkeeper Qian extended his hand to invite her, "Madam Zhang, please try it."
Zhang Hulan picked up the chopsticks and tasted it. The taste was okay, but not unique enough.
Zhang Hulan used chopsticks to pick up the braised fish, and found something like a thin thread in the meat.
"Manager Qian, next time the chef cooks carp, please remove these two tendons. This way, the fishy smell will be much less."
Shopkeeper Qian asked in surprise, "Is this the reason why the carp smells so fishy?"
