"Son, come to the restaurant during the weekend."
"Mom, why would I come to the restaurant? I'm so tired."
"I didn't ask you to serve the soup. Why are you complaining?"
"Oh, if you don't want me to serve the soup, I'll do it."
"Little brat, you're getting lazier as you get older. How can you be compared to when you were younger? Every day after class, you would wash the snails."
"Mom, that's not when I was younger. That was last year."
"Last year … Oh, I think it was last year. But why do I feel like many years have passed? Am I getting old? Okay, okay, hurry up and come over … I have something important to discuss with you. "
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu hailed a cab and rushed to Hot Pot Beauty.
At this time, the restaurant was already full. There were many customers waiting in the lounge area.
"Hello, the restaurant is full. You can take a number and wait in the lounge area. There are fruits and snacks in the lounge area … "
As soon as Chen Yu entered the restaurant, a waitress in the restaurant said to him.
"Shen Yue?"
Chen Yu felt that the voice was familiar. He turned around and saw that it was "Shen Yue".
"Chen Yu?"
Shen Yue also noticed Chen Yu. "You're here for hot pot?"
"Well, you can say so."
Chen Yu asked, "Shen Yue, why are you working here?"
"My family is poor so I'm working part-time."
"Do you think I'll believe you?"
"Anyway, I'm working here. There are no seats available now. You can wait at the side."
After saying that, Shen Yue ignored Chen Yu and started to serve other customers.
"That's strange. Why is she here?"
Chen Yu felt that it was strange.
According to rumors, Shen Yue's family was very well off. Why would she need to work part-time?
However, that might not be the case. Rich kids might not be like prodigals who just sit around and do nothing. Take Yang Bin and the others for example. Their family background was also very good, but they were not as arrogant as the rich second generation in Lin Fan's previous life. Instead, they were smart and kept thinking about how to earn money. It was not impossible for Shen Yue to use the weekends to work and study.
Without thinking much, Chen Yu went to the General Manager's office.
"Xiao Yu, you're here."
"Come, sit here."
Seeing Chen Yu come in, Zhang Wenxiu asked Chen Yu to sit at her desk.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Can you take a look at this proposal?"
"What plan?"
"The joining proposal."
Chen Yu was a little surprised. He realized that his parents were quite fast.
"Dad, Mom, you're not bad. You've already made the proposal?"
"We also want to quickly occupy the market."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry."
Chen Yu looked at the proposal and shook his head. "Dad, Mom, it's too fast. We can't join like this."
"Is it fast?"
Zhang Wenxiu asked, "It's not that fast. Wasn't the snail shop we set up last year the same?"
"This is different."
Chen Yu said, "A snail shop is a snail shop. The investment is small and the results are quick. It's suitable for a family to start a small business. However, the hotpot restaurant was a huge investment, and there was no way to recoup the cost in the short term. If we come up with a proposal so soon, it will not be good for our high-quality development in the future. "
"High-quality development? Xiao Yu, I don't understand."
Chen Simian asked.
"Actually, it's very simple. If we only want to recruit a few partners, it's easy. We can do it now. But if we want our hotpot restaurant to be listed, then we need to manage it well. "
"Be listed?"
Chen Simian thought he heard wrongly: "Xiao Yu, what did you say? Being listed means being listed?"
"That's right."
"Xiao Yu, isn't this too exaggerated?"
Chen Simian could not believe what he heard: "Hotpot can also be listed?"
Looking at the Chinese market, there was not a single hotpot company that was listed.
Even those old hotpot restaurants were miles away from being listed.
Not to mention hotpot restaurants, there was not a single listed company in the entire food and beverage industry for the time being.
That's right.
For example, [Quanjude], one of the more famous and powerful companies, hasn't met the requirements to be listed yet.
Chen Simian had been reading a lot of economics books recently. Although he could not learn as much as a full-time undergraduate, he still knew some things.
But who was Chen Yu?
He could see the future with his foresight.
"Dad, don't be so surprised. Who says hotpot cannot be listed? Did the stock market not allow hotpot companies to be listed? "
"I don't think so."
"Then that's it."
"But hotpot does not require any skills."
"Who says it doesn't require any skills? Our services require the most skills."
Chen Yu shook his head: "Dad, you have underestimated the value of hotpot. If selling hotpot doesn't require much skill, then KFC is very technical, right? "
"KFC tastes terrible, and the cooking process is very simple. It's not as complicated as stir-frying snails."
Zhang Wenxiu said.
"Dad, you see. Even mom understands this."
Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Alright. Xiao Yu, what you said makes sense."
Chen Simian could not win against Chen Yu: "But this is difficult."
"It is difficult, but it's not hopeless."
Chen Yu said: "Dad, think about it. There are more than a billion people in China. Right now, everyone's standard of living is still not very high. In the future, as everyone's standard of living gets better and better, anyone who wants to eat hot pot will think of eating our hot pot first. By then, dad, the stock exchange will be begging us to get listed. "
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Xiao Yu, dad is not well-educated. Don't lie to me."
"Dad, why would I lie to you?"
Chen Yu was also amused by his father's confused look.
However, his mother made Chen Yu dumbfounded. She asked: "Xiao Yu, what is listed?"
"Uh …"
Chen Yu was a little dizzy. How could he explain it to his mother?
Generally speaking, listing is called IPO. Initial Public Offering, that is, a company can publicly issue shares to investors through the stock exchange.
It's just that his mother will definitely be confused by this explanation. But it's difficult to explain it in a simple way.
Fortunately, his father was smarter. He immediately said: "To be listed is to reach a certain level. It's just like those companies that advertise their products on TV. When people mention our company's name, they will know immediately."
"Oh, oh. Just like BMW?"
For business talks, Chen Simian bought a BMW.
Yes, this time it's a real BMW.
Chen Simian was stunned for a moment, but he nodded: "Yes, yes, yes. In the future, when we are listed, we will be as good as BMW."
"Then it seems that we should listen to Xiao Yu."
Zhang Wenxiu thought for a while and said: "If we are only looking for a few franchisees, then what's the difference between this and Shin Fung? If we are going to do it, we should do it the best. If we are as good as those companies that advertise on TV, then we will have a sense of accomplishment. "
"That's right. Mom, you are so ambitious."
Chen Yu gave Zhang Wenxiu a thumbs up.
Although Zhang Wenxiu was not well-educated, she had always been bold.
When Shin Fung suggested that Chen Simian set up a restaurant, it was also Zhang Wenxiu's idea.
