Large Sum of Cash, Opening of a Catering Group, Remittance

The next day, Main World.

Zhiyuan Trading Company, Lin Ze was reviewing the company's accounts for the past month.

Although he had decided to open a gold mine in the Main World next, officially launching his two-world gold and silver trade plan, Lin Ze needed a large amount of start-up capital before that.

And the source of this money, of course, was the Large Yellow Croaker and Matsutake that were constantly being sold in the Main World.

Over the past period, although Lin Ze had been busy with various matters, he had never forgotten to send the Large Yellow Croaker provided by Dan Xuliang from the Otherworld back to the Main World.

And because the catering group opened in cooperation with Ji Shuqing had not yet officially started operations, these Large Yellow Croaker, like Matsutake, were sold as high-end ingredients.

"Boss, thanks to my unremitting efforts, 37 tons of Matsutake have been sold, and 45 tons of Large Yellow Croaker have been sold."

"Total revenue is 985.2 million."

In the office, Zhao Wenrou reported to Lin Ze with a hint of pride on her face.

In the past month, she had not slackened in the slightest, taking the initiative to work overtime every day and contacting distributors from various channels, which allowed her to sell these Matsutake and Yellow Croaker in large quantities.

The small hall connected two buildings facing the same direction.

"You've done well, keep up the good work."

After completing the bank procedures, it was expected that the payment could be successfully completed at the International Bank tomorrow, converting the 624 million Qixia Country coins into Starlight Coins, the currency of the world's number one economy, the Star Country, and transferring it to Lin Ze's shell company account.

"Don't worry, it will come."

Lin Ze came to Tiannan City today and made an appointment to go and see the 'Delicious Forest' restaurant later, to offer some suggestions.

If the internet-famous spot becomes popular, and some returning customers feel that eating at Delicious Forest is not stylish enough, it would also be a pity.

The two of them were reversed; Lin Ze, this ancient-style young man, used modern etiquette, while Ji Shuqing used ancient etiquette.

Leaving the company building, Lin Ze saw Ji Shuqing standing gracefully in front of the car.

After taking out the trade contract, Lin Ze successfully completed the remittance, transferring a total of 624 million in payment to seven shell company accounts.

And at that time, you can use the currently popular short video promotion.

"Then next, please Zi Yi to try our Ji Family Cuisine's specialty dishes."

A high-end restaurant needs two things to have enough customers.

Ni Anhe received the list of supplies sent by Lin Ze, glanced at it slightly, and found that it was all rice, flour, sugar, cheap clothes, and commonly used medicines. The unit prices were not very high, but the types and quantities required were large.

Shi Hongxue's delicate face smiled particularly charmingly, thanking him sweetly.

"Thank you, Boss."

"Zhao, next I need you to help me purchase some supplies, I'll send you the list later."

"Long time no see."

"Then you go ahead and get busy, I'll be leaving now."

It is estimated that it will take some time, until those sold ingredients are used up, before there will be returning customers.

Lin Ze went to the bank, first transferring the 70 million needed for Delicious Forest's expansion, and then handling the remittance business for the shell company that Fang Duo had set up for him.

One word: perfect!

The small door of the garden building had been renovated into a very eye-catching restaurant, with the eight characters for Delicious Forest written on the plaque in the middle.

Lin Ze asked with a smile.

Lin Ze said with a smile.

"Sister Qing, long time no see, your outfit today looks great."

"And Building Seven over there is a single-person dining area, offering Large Yellow Croaker noodles, Large Yellow Croaker rolls, and other Large Yellow Croaker specialties for individual diners. This will also be a popular spot for tourists to check in in the future."

"Work hard, and I'll give you a bonus at the end of the year."

If they do a good job in quality control, and all the other Delicious Forest branches maintain the level of this main store, it would be difficult for it not to be a hit.

As they spoke, the two entered the door.

Nominally, the 104 tons of Matsutake sold by Ni An's Zhiyuan Trading Company were imported from seven countries in the East Continent Archipelago at a price of 8,000 yuan per catty.

First, they must have attentive service and superb cooking skills, and second, they must have enough reputation and publicity.

If this model is successful, the Delicious Forest Catering Group can quickly open branches all over the country.

When opening a restaurant, everything else is secondary; the taste is the most important thing.

On the way, Ji Shuqing introduced Lin Ze to the preparations for Delicious Forest over the past period.

With the current consumption level of the Qixia Country people, they can't afford to eat Large Yellow Croaker specialty meals costing several hundred or over a thousand every day, but it's no problem to eat one while traveling, and it's also a place worth taking pictures, reminiscing, and mentioning to friends when they travel.

Even if one person eats ten catties of Large Yellow Croaker a year, it would still take one million people to eat all those fish. Restaurants across the country could quickly sell the ten thousand tons of fish, but if Delicious Forest alone wanted to do this, it would need to find another way.

And the professional manager Lin Ze hired was also doing a great job assisting, helping to take care of all the trivial matters in every aspect.

"It's not officially open yet. I plan to put seventy or eighty pretty girls here as greeters. When guests come, I'll arrange for a girl to greet and guide them."

The 10,000 tons of Large Yellow Croaker that Lin Ze supplies every year, even if each tourist only eats two taels of Large Yellow Croaker meals, it would only take 100 million tourists to consume all those fish, and last year the number of tourists in the country exceeded eight billion.

After Lin Ze tasted them one by one, he felt his eyes light up.

I have been busy this month, because I have a supply channel for high-end ingredients in my hands, I have been fawned over by all kinds of people, given gifts, and specially held banquets to invite me to play and travel, making me the center of the crowd.

Zhao Wenrou agreed with a smile.

"Manager Shi, you can get busy for the next few days, and directly select sites and decorate them in all the first-tier and super first-tier cities across the country according to the appearance of this main store, and prepare for opening branches."

The former Ji Family Cuisine was such an operation model, with a consumption of tens of thousands of yuan per table at times, and hundreds of thousands of yuan per table at most, but the scale of Ji Family Cuisine was not that large.

The reason for adding the third model is that Ni An can provide too many high-quality Large Yellow Croakers. The extremely small number of high-end customers alone cannot eat them all, after all, it is expected to be more than 10,000 tons of Large Yellow Croaker every year.

The subsequent sales proceeds of Matsutake are estimated to be mostly used to pay taxes by the end of the year.

Some were individual customers who wanted to eat something good to treat themselves, some were high-end hotels and restaurants, and some were secondary distributors. In short, they all ordered large quantities of goods from Zhi Yuan Company.

In this way, I have the start-up capital to carry out this two-world gold and silver trading plan, and naturally Ni An is also extremely concerned about this catering group.

Lin Ze was quickly scanning through the accounts, with detailed records of every sale of goods.

Following that, more dishes were served: steamed Large Yellow Croaker, Large Yellow Croaker noodles, Large Yellow Croaker spring rolls, Matsutake chicken soup...

Ji Shuqing pointed to the right and introduced, "Building Number One over there is the regular customer area. There are no unusual seats, semi-private booths, or private rooms. When the time comes, we'll sell some of your Ji Family Cuisine's specialty dishes there, as well as some low-grade ingredients that they can't provide, such as specialty Large Yellow Croaker dishes."

"It's mainly for customers to eat and entertain guests. For the sake of customer privacy, in addition to the small hall you're walking through now, we've also set up a VIPchannel (VIP passage) entrance from another quiet area, so they won't be photographed by others and have their privacy leaked."

Lin Ze's praise at this moment can be said to be the greatest affirmation of our efforts over the past month.

"Starting today, you are the CEO of our company, and your salary will be doubled."

And if we want to continue shipping in large quantities, we need to open up new channels and contacts, which Shi Hongxue will have to work hard on.

After Ji Shuqing took Lin Ze on a tour, it was almost lunchtime, and head chef Ji Chun smiled.

Lin Ze praised generously.

And the money placed in overseas accounts will become Lin Ze's funds for his next activities in the Main World.

Sitting across the dining table, Ji Chun, Ji Shuqing, her mother Fu Yumin, and the professional manager Zhao Wenrou, who was sitting beside them, all had smiles on their faces.

"Recently, I plan to invite some friends and then prepare to open our doors to welcome guests. The opening will be in about a week. Zi Yi, if you have time, remember to come to the store to take a look."

Ji Chun solemnly agreed.

Ji Shuqing curtsied and responded with a reserved smile, looking very much like an intellectual woman from ancient times.

The reason for inviting Lin Ze here today was to let him see the results of our preparations over the past month.

These Large Yellow Croaker foods at influencer hotspot (internet-famous spots) are priced at only a few hundred or a thousand yuan per person because each serving doesn't use much Large Yellow Croaker.

But all of these gains combined are not as good as Lin Ze's recognition of me at this moment. A simple compliment is worth more than a thousand words.

"This month, I'll give you eight months' salary as a bonus, and the entire company will receive one month's salary as a bonus. These bonuses are not included in the year-end bonus, and year-end bonuses will be issued separately at that time."

At that time, it's hard to say whether the current Little Yellow Croaker will be enough to sell, and Lin Ze will need to expand the scale of Little Yellow Croaker acquisition on the other world side.

After all, Ji Family Cuisine is really professional.

Ni Anhe bought these supplies to prepare for opening a gold mine in the Golden Continent, although there is no rush for the time being, it is necessary to prepare.

Ji Shuqing pointed to the main entrance and introduced.

Lin Ze smiled, got into the car first, and fastened his seat belt.

Ji Shuqing drove towards Cloud Color Manor, located in the suburbs of Tiannan City.

"Originally, I was only confident in my ingredients and thought that Delicious Forest should be able to make money, but now that I've tasted Uncle Ji's craftsmanship, I can confidently say that if we maintain this level of cooking, then we will definitely make big money."

"Don't worry, the company making money is also me making money, so I will definitely be attentive."

Although the current situation is like having a Heavenly牌 (heavenly hand) with two kings and seven sevens and seven aces, making it difficult to lose, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't cut the bomb and play it one card at a time.

After the meal, Lin Ze instructed Zhao Wenrou.

"Okay, boss, I will work hard."

Then they saw a large hall covering a vast area.

Therefore, Ni Anhe ultimately gave some general instructions.

And Zhiyuan Trading Company's abundant and robust cash flow gave Lin Ze the confidence to expand directly, without even needing to seek bank loans.

"Your idea?"

Lin Ze followed Ji Shuqing and inspected Building One and Building Seven, finding no problems for the time being.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

This was a classical garden-style building complex, a high-end residential area recently developed.

"As for the funds, I will have the finance department transfer them to the company account later."

Lin Ze solemnly entrusted him again.

Building One mainly catered to repeat customers, so the environment was quiet, and the dishes were complete, ensuring that customers consuming there would not be disturbed by irrelevant people.

However, these things were not difficult to buy; they were things that could be gathered with some time.

Although he had a seven trillion transaction plan for gold and silver between the two worlds, the prerequisite for this plan was that Lin Ze could smoothly monetize the Matsutake and Little Yellow Croaker in the Main World every year.

After checking the accounts, Lin Ze assigned Shi Hongxue a task.

This was the advanced joy of realizing one's life value, and all of this was the opportunity Lin Ze gave him.

"Looks like we're in for a treat today."

"Okay."

The goods initially sold in large quantities. About seventy days later, the sales volume reached its peak, and then recently, it has seen a decline, seemingly having reached a saturation point for the time being.

After discussing business, they left Delicious Forest.

"Let's go."

In the early stages, they would hire some celebrity influencers to check in at Delicious Forest, then release videos to promote it, creating a trend and attracting tourists playing in Tiannan City to come to Delicious Forest to try the Large Yellow Croaker noodles and other meals.

Shi Hongxue agreed, resolving in his heart to help Lin Ze handle it properly later.

Basically, they were all dishes cooked with Matsutake and Little Yellow Croaker, which would also be the main specialty dishes of the Delicious Forest restaurant in the future.

The Delicious Forest restaurant that Lin Ze and Ji Shuqing's family jointly opened was located here. After nearly a month of preparation, it had now completed the entire process from site selection and leasing to decoration, and even waiter training, and was about to open for business.

"Uncle Ji, I'm counting on you for the quality control aspect. You must keep a close eye on it and interview good chefs. This is the key to whether we can make money."

Once they ate the authentic Large Yellow Croaker meals at Delicious Forest, and then gave positive reviews online as voluntary promoters, it could create a snowball effect, attracting more tourists.

As a professional manager, he also had some of his own judgment on whether a company could make money. It was clear that the career he was currently pursuing had great potential.

Ji Shuqing shook her head: "I learned it from a small restaurant in the capital that has been passed down for eight hundred years. In the past, they specialized in serving dignitaries."

After checking the accounts, Lin Ze praised with a smile.

Combining what Ji Shuqing said afterward about the Delicious Forest, Lin Ze could roughly understand the reason for such a layout.

Although Zhao Wenrou didn't buy into the pie Lin Ze was drawing, as long as he could make this company successful, even if Lin Ze didn't give him higher compensation later, he could still take this brilliant resume to a new platform to shine, so he would definitely work hard.

Lin Ze waved with a smile, greeting Ji Shuqing, who was wearing a white ancient-style dress and was clearly dressed up carefully.

Lin Ze said goodbye with a smile.

Fresh, fragrant, crisp, and delicious as expected.

Ni Anhe agreed with a smile.

Eight thousand words completed, seeking full subscriptions and monthly tickets.

These past few days, it's simply been a bad state; the feeling of being drained of energy after serializing for too long. It's not that I don't know what to write, but after resting, my condition is much better. I'll continue with eight thousand words tomorrow.
