"Si Zhu's cooking skills are really good, and people often come to ask him to cook." Yu Li said.

"Yes! His cooking skills are also top-notch among the chefs in the Four-Nine Cities." Yan Jiecheng said.

"By the way, what should the hotel manager do?" Yu Li asked.

"It's best to find someone we know well so that we can entrust the hotel's business to her," Yan Jiecheng said.

"Yes! The hotel manager has to be responsible for the entire hotel, and not everyone can do it." Yu Li said.

Yan Jiecheng also fell into deep thought. After a while, he said: "Yes, I have thought of a suitable person."

Hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, Yu Li was also a little curious, so she asked: "Oh! Who is it?"

"Of course it's Haitang, let's let her work as a hotel manager!" Yan Jiecheng said.

When Yan Jiecheng said it was Yu Haitang, Yu Li was also very satisfied. She said: "Okay, it will save her from having to earn dead wages in the factory."

"She can make a little more money by working as a hotel manager."

"Then take the time to find Haitang and talk to her about this matter," Yan Jiecheng said.

"Don't worry! Leave it to me!" Yu Li promised.

……

A few days later, after He Yuzhu understood the process of opening a restaurant, he came to see Yan Jiecheng.

"Jie Cheng! I really didn't expect that opening a better restaurant would cost so much money." He Yuzhu said.

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, Yan Jiecheng said: "Don't worry! I still have the money to open a restaurant."

"I've been to the big and small restaurants in Sijiu City these days and looked at them all."

"I found that smaller restaurants only need five or six people, while larger restaurants require twenty or thirty people." He Yuzhu said.

"Just tell me how much money you need to prepare!" Yan Jiecheng asked.

"The hotel's rent, decoration fees, employees' wages, and the money to buy various ingredients, kitchen utensils, tables, chairs, and benches probably cost tens of thousands of yuan." He Yuzhu said.

"That's not much! How much money is needed, I can make up for it." Yan Jiecheng said.

"I can only come up with 3,000 yuan, and you need to make up for the rest." He Yuzhu said.

Hearing what he said, Yan Jiecheng said: "Then I will pay for the remaining money!"

"But, after all these years, haven't you saved some money?"

"Where do I have money? All my previous salary has been spent, and you still paid me this money." He Yuzhu said.

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, Yan Jiecheng also understood what was going on. He Yuzhu's original salary had been eaten up by food and drinks, so where could he have any money?

"By the way, I've found a manager too."

"That's my sister-in-law, Yu Haitang." Yan Jiecheng said.

Hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, He Yuzhu nodded in agreement. Anyway, he didn't have the ability to manage the hotel well.

"Since you have contributed three thousand yuan, I will contribute twelve thousand yuan, making a total of fifteen thousand yuan." Yan Jiecheng said.

"With these fifteen thousand yuan, it should be enough." He Yuzhu also agreed.

"If you invest in shares with cooking skills and 3,000 yuan, I will give you 40% of the shares, and then leave 10% for the manager, and I will take the remaining 50% of the shares." Yan Jiecheng said.

Hearing Yan Jiecheng say this, He Yuzhu said: "Then I will keep 30% of the shares, and I will give 10% of the shares to a few chefs!"

Hearing what he said, Yan Jiecheng also understood that He Yuzhu wanted to bring his disciples with him.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Yan Jiecheng agreed.

After Yan Jiecheng and He Yuzhu discussed it, they started talking about other things.

When he was about to leave, Yan Jiecheng took out a dollar and gave it to He Yuzhu, asking him to do various things.

When He Yuzhu saw him doing this, he said: "Jie Cheng, this is inappropriate!"

"It's okay, I can make this money back soon."

"Besides, we have known each other for decades, and you are not that kind of person!" Yan Jiecheng said.

After hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, He Yuzhu agreed: "Okay then!"

"When I buy something, I will leave a receipt. Remember to read it when the time comes." He Yuzhu said.

"What's our relationship? There's no need to do this." Yan Jiecheng said.

"One is one, and two is two. We can't affect our relationship just because of a little money." He Yuzhu said.

Hearing what he said, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to say: "Okay! I will listen to you."

Then, He Yuzhu left Yan Jiecheng's home and went to work on opening a restaurant.

……

A month passed like this before the hotel finally opened.

On the day of the opening, He Yuzhu specially came to Yan Jiecheng and asked him to attend.

After Yan Jiecheng made arrangements for the hot pot restaurant, he went to the hotel to participate in the event.

When Yan Jiecheng arrived, he found that the hotel was a three-story building, which used to be a restaurant.

But something unexpected happened later, the restaurant closed down, and the house has been vacant.

Until he was attracted by He Yuzhu, he rented the house to open a restaurant, with a monthly rent of 500 yuan.

Yan Jiecheng only participated in the activities and did not go to the limelight. After all, in this era, he already does a lot of business.

After leaving, he went out of his way to find the owner of the hotel house and bought the house for 35,000 yuan.

What Yan Jiecheng wants is that he will not lose money when buying the house. And after he buys it himself, he can also prevent competitors from causing trouble.

If your business is good, your opponent will blame you and think that you have affected his business.

Your opponents will come to cause trouble for you, and this house is a flaw of the hotel. Only by buying the house can Yan Jiecheng rest assured.

……

Because the chef He Yuzhu is in charge, the business in the restaurant has always been very good.

Normally, Yan Jiecheng is busy managing the business of the hot pot restaurant and doesn't come to the restaurant very often.

He planned to leave all the hotel's affairs to Yu Haitang in addition to checking the accounts every month.

In Yu Li's melon seed business, she is also slowly hiring people and constantly expanding the production of melon seeds.

According to Yan Jiecheng's estimation, the melon seed business accounts for at most 20% of the market in 49 cities, and they still have to expand their operations.

Yan Jiecheng also chose a place in another street and opened a hot pot branch. He decided to open more branches in the future.

So far, Yan Jiecheng's family can earn seven or eight "ten thousand yuan household" every month, which is unimaginable to many people.

Not to mention, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li are planning to continue to expand their business, so that they can make more money.

The money they earned was not deposited directly in the bank, but was used to buy courtyard houses and various antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Yan Jiecheng now has more than ten courtyards with one entrance, five courtyards with two entrances, and two courtyards with three entrances.
