“Enterprise deal.“
As early as the primary time Cheng Yun let Liu Wen strive the bitter plum soup, he gave him the recipe for crispy pickled radish and a gross sales plan. Later, when Cheng Bao’er took cost of promoting the bitter plum soup, with Wang Liang’s assist, Cheng Yun allow them to deal with the gross sales on their very own, whereas he centered on refining the enterprise with Liu Wen.
Constructing on the present basis, Chef Ye made slight changes to the style of the crispy pickled radish, making it extra appropriate for the individuals in Nanming Metropolis. He additionally made two variations: spicy and non-spicy, in order that each those that appreciated spicy meals and those that couldn’t tolerate it may strive it.
Impressed by Chef Ye’s suggestion, Cheng Yun considered making Sauerkraut Fish and Sauerkraut beef. He purchased some components and spent three days experimenting at residence, lastly producing a fairly first rate batch of Sauerkraut. Nonetheless, it nonetheless fell barely in need of his satisfaction, in all probability as a result of it hadn’t been marinated lengthy sufficient.
However for individuals who had by no means tasted it earlier than, this little bit of Sauerkraut was already fairly good. He introduced it to Chef Ye and Liu Wen to strive, and he demonstrated the way to make Sauerkraut Fish in entrance of them, explaining the following promoting strategies.
“As autumn is approaching, this Sauerkraut Fish could be launched as a brand new signature dish. Given Yueqiong Tower’s present affect, it should certainly create a sensation as soon as it’s launched. Throughout this era, we are able to additionally introduce Sauerkraut Jars and different gadgets like crispy pickled radish. That method, even individuals who wish to eat Sauerkraut Fish however can’t go to the restaurant daily should purchase the Sauerkraut and make it at residence.”
Cheng Yun continued, “We are able to initially introduce the crispy pickled radish to the market as a aspect dish for noodles, generate some curiosity. As soon as the Sauerkraut Jars are additionally launched, individuals can contemplate shopping for them as nicely.”
Liu Wen calculated in his thoughts and couldn’t assist however really feel that Cheng Yun’s strategy was ingenious.
Nonetheless, on the identical time, he had considerations. If everybody began shopping for Sauerkraut Jars and making Sauerkraut Fish at residence, wouldn’t it result in a decline in enterprise at Yueqiong Tower?
It looks as if he is aware of what he’s considering. Cheng Yun added, “The strategy of constructing Sauerkraut is just not simpler than making bitter and crispy radishes. It includes the method of fermentation, and the quantity of seasoning added can also be essential. It’s not straightforward for outsiders to mimic, so the value could be comparatively larger.”
With the earlier expertise of bitter plum soup being imitated, everybody is aware of that after one thing will get imitated, it turns into tough to proceed doing enterprise. Now, listening to Cheng Yun’s phrases, they’ve not less than solved one of many difficulties.
Cheng Yun continued, “The recipe for scrumptious Sauerkraut Fish may be very intricate. It requires a considerable amount of spices, however the amount should be managed. The sourness of the cabbage should be ample, and the spiciness ought to be important. I can inform you that what you might be presently consuming as Sauerkraut Fish is just not the most effective I could make.”
Upon listening to this, Chef Ye and Liu Wen have been stunned. Of their eyes, this was already among the best dishes they’d ever tasted. And it wasn’t the most effective?
Up to now, Cheng Yun used to get pleasure from consuming Sauerkraut Fish. He had visited many small and huge eating places within the metropolis, so he knew that the identical dish, made by totally different individuals, may have a major distinction in style.
Now, as a result of he needed to make it shortly for them to style, Cheng Yun skipped many steps. The sourness of the Sauerkraut Fish he made was not sufficient, and the spiciness was common. The flavour solely reached about fifty p.c. Nonetheless, as a result of the components he had readily available have been the most effective, the style wasn’t too dangerous.
Subsequently, he was not anxious in any respect about others imitating their dishes or clients shopping for Sauerkraut and making it at residence, resulting in a lower in gross sales on the restaurant.
He shared his ideas with the 2 of them and mentioned, “Moreover, those that have some cash and don’t thoughts spending a little bit additional to eat on the restaurant, or whose residence cooks should not as expert as our restaurant’s customary, will nonetheless come to Yueqiong Tower to dine. As for these with common cooking abilities, in the event that they wish to make this dish, they need to do it themselves. From making ready the Fish to cooking it, each step can result in totally different flavors. If they’re unhappy and wish to style the most effective taste the restaurant provides, they will solely come right here.”
“Our goal clients for the Sauerkraut Jars are literally those that have common monetary situations however nonetheless wish to style one thing new and be capable of eat dishes just like these of rich households at residence,” Cheng Yun mentioned confidently. “There are additionally those that come from afar to go to family members or those that want items for particular events.”
After Cheng Yun defined, even Liu Wen was impressed by his enterprise acumen. This individual not solely excelled at cooking but in addition had such a excessive stage of enterprise acumen. Luckily, he had decisively chosen to cooperate with him; in any other case, he would have been at an obstacle now.
Up to now, there have been two or three eating places in Tengyun City that might compete with him. Though Yueqiong Tower had at all times been in an absolute benefit and had a better status than them, the extent to which they presently dominated and monopolized the market was far past comparability.
And people suppressed outlets, as a substitute of being cautious of Yueqiong Tower’s fame, have been truly grateful for its improvement, because it introduced prosperity to the complete Tengyun City and boosted their very own enterprise efficiency. They sincerely hoped that Yueqiong Tower would proceed to thrive.
The rise of Yueqiong Tower even attracted the eye of the officers in Tengyun City and Nanming Metropolis, who shaped a staff to “examine” the restaurant. They have been extremely glad with the dishes and the ambiance of Yueqiong Tower.
On this period, the affect of presidency officers was important, and when the frequent individuals noticed them exhibiting such admiration, their satisfaction with Yueqiong Tower grew much more.
Based mostly on the present progress, as soon as the status of Yueqiong Tower is firmly established, with the promotion of the Sauerkraut Jar, opening branches somewhere else, and even within the capital, would simply be inside attain!
Subsequently, after every part was settled, Liu Wen steered sharing the income with Cheng Yun.
“We agreed on this once we first began working collectively. As soon as our cooperation turns into mature, along with shopping for your recipe, I will even pay you a share based mostly on the gross sales. I haven’t forgotten about that,” Liu Wen mentioned. He needed to maintain somebody as proficient as Cheng Yun by any means vital.
Cheng Yun took a sip of tea with out exhibiting any fluctuation in his expression, as if every part was anticipated. His demeanor secretly impressed Liu Wen, who then adopted a extra respectful angle.
Sharing the income with Yueqiong Tower was a outstanding alternative. Now, in the entire Nanming Metropolis, who didn’t know concerning the extraordinary reputation of Yueqiong Tower in Tengyun City? Each time a brand new dish was launched, it will turn out to be widespread even in neighboring cities. Many individuals took delight in having the ability to style the brand new creations from Yueqiong Tower first.
Cheng Yun, an individual from humble origins, ought to usually be overjoyed, however he displayed a calmness that didn’t match his age and background. He even negotiated with Liu Wen.
“Concerning the profit-sharing side, I’ve one other suggestion,” Cheng Yun mentioned, which instantly sharpened Liu Wen’s eyes and a spotlight.
Ignoring Liu Wen’s guardedness, Cheng Yun smiled and mentioned, “You additionally know that this time I introduced my youthful brother alongside, hoping to let him get some publicity. Now that my very own life has improved, I additionally wish to increase the residing requirements of my members of the family, proper?”
“Sure, that is sensible,” Liu Wen agreed.
“With the present development, bitter plum soup will quickly turn out to be unsustainable, however the Sauerkraut Jar is a enterprise that may be developed in the long term,” Cheng Yun mentioned. “I hope you may entrust the availability of the components to us.”
Liu Wen fell into deep thought upon listening to Cheng Yun’s phrases. Cheng Yun didn’t rush him, permitting him to consider carefully, whereas he continued to drink his tea and poured a cup for Yang Hongjin sitting beside him.
After a second, Liu Wen’s furrowed forehead relaxed, as if he had made a major choice. His expression was unusually critical as he mentioned, “I can conform to the deal, however I need each recipe for the Sauerkraut Jar, and you should signal an settlement with Yueqiong Tower. Moreover supplying us, you can’t present components or recipes to any third get together.”
“Deal!” Cheng Yun instantly agreed with out hesitation.
Seeing him agree so readily, Liu Wen’s expression softened, and he now not appeared tense.
Cheng Yun knew what he was anxious about. To be sincere, this enterprise may convey immense income. A minimum of for a very long time, Yueqiong Tower would depend on them for his or her provide, whereas they’d maintain the lifeline of the opposite get together.
Even when Liu Wen didn’t point out it, Cheng Yun would nonetheless wish to signal a contract with him. In any other case, as soon as they obtained the recipes, they might discover another person to provide for them, leading to a major lack of revenue for Cheng Yun.
Now that Liu Wen had taken the initiative to suggest this level, it proved that either side had the intention of mutual binding. This allowed Cheng Yun to gauge the opposite get together’s angle and added weight to his future negotiations.
Cheng Yun knowledgeable Bao’er and Wang Liang concerning the particulars of the collaboration and mentioned to Wang Liang with a smile, “Xia Er, if we’re in need of workers sooner or later, we would need to ask Madam Wang to assist too. You must return and ask her opinion first.”
The 2 people, who had been worrying concerning the gross sales of the Bitter Plum Soup earlier, have been now left dumbfounded as Cheng Yun casually talked about this deal. It was surprising. Taking on the complete Sauerkraut Jar for Yueqiong Tower, what an enormous deal it was! Furthermore, Yueqiong Tower deliberate to open shops in different cities and even probably within the capital metropolis!
They exchanged a look and noticed astonishment and incredulity in one another’s eyes. Now, Cheng Bao’er didn’t even wish to make the 70% of the Bitter Plum Soup anymore. He needed to start out making Sauerkraut as quickly as attainable and go residence to inform his mother and father the information. They’d have good days forward!
Wang Liang had the identical ideas as Cheng Bao’er, however he had an extra one—
Might I be getting married quickly?!
