As early as last year, Cai Hongming asked Ruan Tianqi to help find a store in a prosperous area in Suzhou and prepare to open a branch of Xidu Shengjing Barbecue Noodle Store.

But there has been no news.

It was not until the global economic crisis broke out last year and the domestic bankruptcy wave occurred. Many stores closed one after another for various reasons, so the matter of his branch was settled. Unfortunately, he was still filming at that time and had no time to watch it. So after the matter in Beijing was handled, he flew to Suzhou.

After getting off the plane, he did not rush to contact Ruan Tianfeng. He first found a hotel to stay in, washed away the dust all the way before calling him.

After receiving the call from Cai Hongming, Ruan Tianqi rushed over and said to him as soon as he met: "Why didn't you call me before you come? I can go to the airport to pick you up."

Cai Hongming did this and made him very unhappy. The two of them had been together for so long, but they were friends. When he went to his side, he was so enthusiastic about him, but when he came to his side, he seemed too accomplicated, and he, the master, didn't know what to say. But he didn't know that Cai Hongming has always had this temper and usually doesn't like to bother people if he is fine.

"It's not a child, so there's no need to be so troublesome." Cai Hongming said with a smile, "By the way, where is the store you mentioned? Should we go and see it now, or?"

"Don't be so anxious. It's almost noon, let's have a meal first."

So Ruan Tianfeng drove Cai Hongming to have a meal.

After driving for a while, the car arrived at a lake and stopped. There was an antique restaurant beside the lake, and the building was named "Huanghe", which made people feel a little deafening because the name was too loud. Walking inside, Cai Hongming saw two beautiful Jiangnan women playing the pipa at the corner of the building. They sang Jiangnan tunes in Wunong slang. The sound was gentle, soft and crisp, like jade beads falling from the plate, making people feel as if they had eaten peaches and were all sweet.

Before she could eat, Cai Hongming felt that she had fallen in love with this Yellow Crane Tower.

They chose a seat next to the window and the water.

Outside the window is a lake, with lotus flowers planted in the lake. Not far from the window, there is a clear green lotus leaf, dotted with pink, white, or light yellow lotus flowers. Some blooming lotus flowers are very close to the windowsill, and you can catch them with just a little stretch. Ruan Tianqiu was not polite, so he leaned out and picked a green lotus pod from the lake. He peeled the lotus seeds and put them in his mouth and crunched.

People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang like to eat tender lotus seeds, saying that they are like peanuts, crispy and sweet.

Ruan Tianqiu didn't eat alone, so he broke half of the lotus pods for Cai Hongming, and then asked the waiter to order food.

Cai Hongming was not familiar with this place. He didn't know what to eat. Ruan Tianfeng made the decision to order some Suzhou-flavored dishes. Suzhou dishes are sweet, and the dishes they cooked seem to be dead if they don't add sugar, but the taste is very similar to those in southern Fujian. Cai Hongming felt good after eating it. After dinner, Ruan Tianfeng sent someone to a pot of tea. The two of them tasted it while enjoying the cool breeze blowing by the lake. Another Wu Nong whisper came from their ears. They listened quietly with their eyes closed, as if their bodies were also carrying the breath of Jiangnan water town.

"This place is good!" Ruan Tianqiu said to Cai Hongming.

Cai Hongming nodded. The place is really good. The food is good, the people are good, and the environment is good.

"Originally, there was a house to be sold here, but unfortunately you were not available at that time, and the owner was in a hurry to sell the house for money, so it was gone."

"That's a pity." This place is really good. It's also very popular.

"It's not a pity. I feel good about a few houses. I'll wait and see, it may not be worse than here. Speaking of which, you have to thank the recent economic downturn, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people who would be rushing to sell their houses to fill the business deficits, which will make you catch up with the good times. It's almost done, let's go!"

Ruan Tianqiu went to check out the bill and then took Cai Hongming to see the house.

The most prosperous areas in Suzhou are Guanqian Street and near Shilu, centered on Xuanmiaoguan. If you can open a store in these two streets, as long as you manage it well, it will undoubtedly be the rhythm of grabbing countless money into your pocket.

Ruan Tianqiu found a parking lot to park his car, and then led Cai Hongming to a large clothing store on the side of Guanqian Street.

The owner of this store is engaged in factory business. When he saw the stock market favorable, he invested a lot of money in it. Unfortunately, he was not lucky. He made a fortune in the stock market. As soon as he entered the stock market, he hit the limit. Now all the money was trapped and his business was unable to turn around. He was not lucky and encountered an economic crisis. In addition, the bank tightened loans. There was no way, so he wanted to sell the store to raise money to save the company. Otherwise, he could make a lot of money even if he was stupid.

Cai Hongming took a look and found that the store was divided into two floors, about 500 square meters, and the boss asked for a friendship price of 65 million yuan.

He still has more than 100 million yuan on him now. After buying this store, he still has to make movies and buy helicopters, and the money is gone in an instant.

He used to think that he had a lot of money, but now he seems to be still a poor person.

However, Cai Hongming did not plan to buy this house immediately, but asked Ruan Tianqi to take him to other places to check out. He could compare the stores, but he would not know which place was better if he didn't look anywhere.

Next, I looked at two more stores, one near the Humble Administrator's Garden and the other on the stone road in the same prosperous area. The prices were similar to those in front, but they were worth the money. Finally, Ruan Tianfeng took him to a place, Wanda Plaza, and had a meal there.

The property here is newly opened, and its popularity is not as good as the previous three places, but the advantage is that it is convenient transportation, good air, and cheap prices. It only takes 10 million yuan for a store of about 500 square meters.

Cai Hongming thought about it and said that the barbecue restaurants used yaks, ostrichs, fans, rice noodles and other items raised by their own farms. They tasted great and were not in a prosperous area. As long as they were promoted, I believe they would be popular with many people. And there are many people driving now, so it’s only a matter of coming here every second, so you don’t have to consider whether you are popular.

Besides, it is not always possible that this place will not be prosperous, it is just a matter of time.

After considering it, Cai Hongming immediately decided to buy two sets of stores.

The reason why he bought two sets was that he wanted to connect the two places and expand the store, while opening a small shop next to him to sell his own agricultural products, such as rice, vermicelli, yak meat, ostrich meat and so on. In the future, he might develop some handicrafts made of yak hair, ostrich feather, yak bone, ostrich bone and other things to sell.

After buying the store, he found a well-known local design company to design and decorate.

He planned to design the store to be rough, heroic and gentle in the desert. The main body tasted similar to Saudi Arabia and Egypt, because there were also desert countries there.

At that time, he will ask the master to present the surrounding walls with 3D pictures to make people feel like they are in a vast desert as soon as they come in. The decorations inside should also have a strong desert style. When the store is opened, he will ask people to buy some foreign-style carpets to hang them. I believe that when people come in, they will be refreshing and impressed.

The store decoration takes a lot of time. Cai Hongming asked the design company to design the drawings. After looking at it, he asked them to start the decoration.

He still has something to do, and it is impossible for him to be here every day, so he asked Ruan Tianfeng to come and see him when he has time, and then he took a plane to Nanjing by himself.

Cai Hongming wanted to turn Xidu Shengjing barbecue noodle shop into a chain enterprise. He planned to use the wealthiest Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas as the point, and then radiate the surrounding major cities to open the store all over the country.

In fact, as early as when he was at home, he had already checked the stores in Nanjing online and looked for several through an agent. This time he came here mainly to see if the stores were OK. If he could, he would plan to buy them and then see how the store in Suzhou would be after decoration. If he could, the store would be decorated in the future.

Suzhou is very close to Nanjing and it was still early when he arrived, so he called the agent he had communicated with.

After a while, a woman in her thirties came over.

The two chatted casually for a few words and went to see the store.

Nanjing has three largest business districts, one is Xinjiekou, one is Hunan Road, the other is Confucius Temple, and there is also one on Xuanwu Road, but the most prosperous one is Xinjiekou. The first shop Cai Hongming wants to see is Wanda Plaza located at Xinjiekou. (To be continued)
