Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 50.1: The Bitter Heroine (33)
“Are these all your thoughts?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Yingniang was stunned when she heard this.
Shao Yu continued: “That’s a Western restaurant.”
Shao Yingniang seemed to understand something and said, “Didn’t the manager do this because he was afraid of offending the guests?”
Whether the products can be sold or not is secondary, but if the style of the western restaurant is lowered as a result, then it would be a real loss of the big picture for the small one.
“I thought it was too simple.” Shao Yingniang felt a little ashamed.
Liu Cuifen didn’t know what was going on, and immediately said, “Isn’t this great? How can it be so simple? ”
Shao Yingniang shook her head.
Shao Yu continued, “Then we can think about it in a more complicated way. What if it becomes a good thing for everyone?”
Upon hearing this, Shao Yingniang looked thoughtful.
Shao Yu continued: “When doing business, don’t always think about making money, but think about how to help others make money. When you help others, looking back, you will find out how to make money yourself.”
However, Shao Yingniang still couldn’t figure it out clearly.
Shao Yu continued, “What kind of guests come to your western restaurant?”
“The rich.”
“To be more specific, the finer the categories we divide them into, the better we can find the right medicine for each case,” Shao Yu suggested.
Shao Yingniang thought about the people who came to the western restaurant. Although it was a high-end western restaurant, it was actually only high-end among ordinary people. Compared with those truly top wealthy families, it was naturally nothing. Even foreigners rarely came here.
It is precisely because the Western restaurant is not as high-end as it appears that the English on the menu has been wrong for so long that people have been fooled.
“Reporters, scholars, business people, people who bring their children in to try something new, and some wealthy masters.” Liu Cuifen said without thinking.
In addition to her work, the old lady usually pays attention to these details. Many times, she can even tell you what accessories the guests have worn.
The reason why they are called wealthy masters is that although these people come to The Western restaurant to eat, they still maintain the old-fashioned style.
Shao Yu asked again, “What do these people expect from the restaurant?”
Shao Yingniang thought for a moment and said, “Delicious? Fresh?”
“What else?”
“Do they want others to envy them?” Shao Yingniang asked hesitantly. Unlike those who treated the western restaurant as their own kitchen, some customers came in just to brag to others after eating.
Shao Yu did not nod or shake his head, but said, “What do they want from this food? You can understand it carefully.”
A seed of thought was planted in Shao Yingniang’s heart, and Shao Yu continued, “If the food that has not been sold when these restaurants close is sold to the food industry at a very low price, there is nothing wrong with this behavior itself, but in order to make everyone look good, this behavior must be packaged.”
“Packaging?” Shao Yingniang was a little surprised.
Shao Yu continued, “What if the explanation for this behavior is not that the restaurant is trying to save money, but that the restaurant is doing charity?”
Shao Yingniang suddenly realized something and said, “This way, the restaurant owner can sell the food without angering the customers and feeling that the restaurant has lost its class.”
“Shao Yu continued, “You also said that there is a reporter among the regular customers of the restaurant. What if this reporter spreads the word? Write a professional report?”
“Then the restaurant will gain a reputation.” Shao Yingniang said happily.
Shao Yu went on to say: ” Since it’s going to be in the newspaper, it’s just a low-price sale. Is that enough? For many poor people, a low-price sale may be a luxury that they would only afford once in a while if they grit their teeth.”
“Then they should be distributed for free to the poor after the time limit, but if we do that, it will probably lead to looting and the restaurant manager probably won’t be willing to do so,” said Shao Yingniang.
Shao Yu asked again: “What should we do then?”
Shao Yingniang’s brain started to work quickly, and soon she said, “On even-numbered days, they are given away for free, and on odd-numbered days, they are sold at a low price?”
“In this way, will everyone wait for the odd-numbered days for items to be sold at a low price?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Yingniang frowned, not knowing what to do for a moment. Shao Yu continued, “Since you want to make a name for yourself with this, why don’t you come up with a nice name?”
“For example, retailing at one dime? After a certain time each day, the remaining food in the restaurant will be sold at the price of one silver dime. Each person can only buy one, and what you buy depends entirely on luck.” Shao Yu suggested with a smile.
After hearing this, Shao Yingniang immediately thought it was very feasible and she couldn’t wait to propose it to the restaurant manager.
Liu Cuifen was listening at the side and said, “one dime is so cheap, I’m going to grab it too.”
Shao Yu smiled and asked, “If you were the owner of a western restaurant and someone made such a suggestion, would you implement it?”
“That definitely won’t happen. Didn’t I lose a lot of money?” Liu Cuifen listened to Shao Yu for a long time, but she was still calculating the cost in her mind. She couldn’t see the reputation, but only felt that she had lost a lot of money.
“It’s because you can’t bear to let go that you’re not destined to be a boss.” Shao Yu joked with a smile.
Liu Cuifen continued: “According to what you said, does our daughter have the destiny to be a boss?”
Upon hearing this, Shao Yingniang looked at Shao Yu expectantly.
Shao Yu looked at his daughter and said softly, “Now that you have left the Wang family, you should have the final say on how your life will be in the future.”
Shao Yingniang nodded after hearing this, but her heart was as if it was filled with raging waves.
