Chapter 202 Huge Renovation Costs
I also had seafood buns at the event, and they were absolutely delicious! Even I, who don't like chives, found them incredibly tasty. I'm planning to get up early again tomorrow.
【I got some too, but I was the last one. The Eight Immortals Buns are really worth it. I would have gone even if it cost 98, let alone 88!】
Every type of seafood was incredibly fresh, no fakes, you could taste it immediately, it was truly delicious.
The comment section was filled with a large number of comments of all kinds.
In addition, Sweetie's private messages also exploded.
All the questions were about how to buy it, what time to queue up, and so on.
After all, Sister Sweetie is very experienced.
She could already predict that if she relied solely on short videos to drive traffic and then held out on-site, things might not get out of control tomorrow, but who knows what would happen in the long run?
Moreover, while buns costing three to five yuan are fine, buns costing 88 yuan are likely to encourage the emergence of a yellow-clad cattle population.
If there are too many scalpers, it will inevitably affect the customers who are genuinely queuing. If the order is disrupted, it may backfire.
After thinking it over, she decisively dialed Chen Yuan's number.
"Boss Chen, the video went viral! Congratulations!"
Congratulations!
"I'm calling you to tell you that I'm very worried about whether your store can survive."
Sweetie then explained all her concerns in detail, and there was silence on the other end of the phone.
Then Sister Sweetie gave her own solution, speaking quickly and clearly.
"If you don't mind, my tech team is quite reliable. We can just set up a WeChat mini-program for you. You can release two-thirds or half of the slots based on how much you sell each day."
"At that time, real-name registration and mobile phone binding will be required, and there will be limited-time flash sales to prevent order fraud and scalping. A unique verification code will be generated, and customers can scan the code to pick up their goods at the store."
"I think this would be even better. Those who can't come can just ask a delivery person to pick it up. What do you think?"
Chen Yuan was writing and drawing on the paper.
Upon hearing this, his pen paused for a moment.
Sweetie's concerns are not without merit, after all, online traffic is indeed a double-edged sword.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you. The technical fee will be covered by my promotion budget. Also, please make sure that each account, phone number, and device ID can only purchase one item at a time, otherwise it's easy for them to be targeted by fraudulent orders."
"Understood, don't worry, we'll take care of this for you."
After she finished speaking, laughter came from the other end of the line.
"Sigh, I've helped you so much, how are you going to repay me?"
"I will pay the full amount for the promotion."
"Tch... How can you be so unromantic? Can't you say something nice? I've been running around doing all this for you."
"Then you tell me."
"If you have any new products in the future, you have to ask me to promote them first. I'm definitely going to capitalize on this traffic."
Chen Yuan smiled and solemnly agreed.
After hanging up the phone.
Sister Tian immediately contacted the technical team, and in less than half a day, they worked overtime to create the mini-program.
Chen Yuan contacted someone to print the mini-program as a poster.
I'm going to put it at the store entrance.
This matter is now temporarily settled.
evening.
Wang Xiulan went to pick up the child, while Chen Yuan went to a private restaurant.
During this period, Chen Yuan and Su Qingxue went out on dates every now and then. Although they did not make it official, they were already acting like a couple.
As the food took longer to arrive, the conversation gradually shifted to more distant matters.
Su Qingxue put down her teacup and asked softly.
"Senior, when exactly are you planning to start renovating that shop in the city center? Although breakfast shops have relatively stable sales, they only do business in the morning, and their catchment area is indeed limited."
"The location in the city center is better; opening a branch or experience store there would definitely be more effective."
Chen Yuan also stopped moving.
"I happen to have something I need you to ask for me."
Chen Yuan opened his phone and sent the renovation drawings provided by the system to Su Qingxue.
"This blueprint is ready. Can you check it out for me and also help me find a reliable renovation company to give me a quote?"
Su Qingxue received the file and quickly swiped her fingertips across it.
Although she didn't know much about interior design, the blueprints looked very detailed.
She quickly sent the message to her brother.
Su Qingjiang acted quickly; before he had even finished his meal, he had already sent over the price lists from several companies.
Su Qingxue clicked on it with delight and then repeated the contents to Chen Yuan.
"My brother asked three companies, and the quotes they gave were all about the same."
"At the very basic level, it would cost around 80 to 100. If you want something a little better, you'd need to raise the budget to around 130 to 140."
"This quote is a rough estimate based on factors such as the quality of the materials used in the renovation."
Chen Yuan finished all the rice in his bowl.
"Let's wait a bit longer. Although the breakfast shop's revenue is pretty good right now, we still need to save up the money after deducting costs and such."
"More than 100 million is not a small amount."
Besides facing some financial difficulties, Chen Yuan also had another important problem: the Xia Qing project was not completed, and he didn't know when he could deliver on his promise of ten signature dishes.
Considering the practical difficulties Xia Qing was facing, Chen Yuan wasn't in a hurry.
Su Qingxue hummed in agreement and said nothing more.
But at the same time, a different thought began to cross my mind.
She smiled and placed the crispy fried yellow croaker in front of her into Chen Yuan's bowl.
"Senior brother, eat more. The yellow croaker here is very tender and fresh, it's delicious."
"Okay, you eat too."
As Chen Yuan swept the area, Su Qingxue asked him a question.
"Senior brother, I wanted to ask you... when are you planning to sign that letter of understanding? Of course, I'm just asking casually."
"We made plans for the day after tomorrow."
"Alright, so much time has passed, I reckon that kid has had a good chance to reflect on his actions in there. It's better to sign it sooner rather than later, so that his family won't keep bothering you."
"Yeah, who can argue with that?"
After finishing her meal, Su Qingxue didn't let Chen Yuan drive her home; instead, she took a taxi back herself.
Back at the villa.
Su Qingxue plopped down in the study.
This thought had been lingering in her mind ever since she started eating.
invest!
She wants to invest!
The word quickly took shape in her mind, no longer a vague idea.
This idea involves not only a clear business plan but also a mix of emotions.
She knew all too well what Chen Yuan's craftsmanship meant.
Chen Yuan has gotten to where he is today not because of popularity, but because of his solid skills.
Everything he makes is incredibly delicious and cannot be replaced by other shops; this is his most powerful competitive advantage.
Once this store opens, profitability is only a matter of time.
What Chen Yuan lacks now is start-up capital.
And she.
We have the ability to pay this money!
