Chapter 596: Chapter 580: Why Are These Two Shops Up for Transfer?
The moon slowly climbed into the sky, complementing the brilliant starlight.
Around 7:40 PM.
All the dishes to be cooked later have been sold out, which also meant that Huang Tao’s work of stir-frying has come to a perfect conclusion.
But the business in the store continued.
Although there were no more stir-fried dishes, there were still various braised meat rice...
So...
Many customers in line behind, upon knowing that other dishes were sold out, chose braised meat rice without hesitation to satisfy their cravings.
Having something to eat is a blessing in disguise.
After all, there were quite a few customers in line who couldn’t even get a serving of braised meat rice!
In the end.
The customers at the back of the line, who couldn’t buy anything, were thoroughly frustrated.
All of a sudden, wailing spread from the front of the line to the back.
"No way, no way? Everything’s sold out? Even the braised meat rice? Why am I so unlucky?"
"Wow, I queued three times today, and didn’t get anything once. It feels like I’m opening new levels of bad luck!"
"I’ve queued three times today too, just trying to get a taste of the food from Delicious Restaurant. Why is it so hard?"
"I barely had time to queue in the afternoon, but didn’t get anything. It’s just that Boss Huang’s restaurant is too popular, and the neighbors are too quick. In the end, I silently endured all this and didn’t get a single bite. If I can’t sleep because of this, Boss Huang, you owe me!"
"I seriously suspect Boss Huang is using hunger marketing, but I have no evidence."
"With Boss Huang’s culinary skills, he doesn’t need to use such tactics. The restaurant is only this big, with just a few kitchen helpers. How much can they make?"
"Yes, yes, Boss Huang actually makes quite a bit, just too many customers come. So even as a punctual office worker, there’s nothing left when we try to queue. Well, the life of an office worker is tough!"
"Why is it always us office workers who suffer? Missing out on new items is one thing, but braised meat rice too is a luxury."
Sitting on the bench at the store entrance waiting for Huang Tao, Jiang Mingtao couldn’t help but comfort them, "When Boss Huang opens a new store in the city, you should be able to eat braised meat rice then."
New store?
Opening a new store in the city?
Those lamenting customers were taken aback at first, then understood, asking, "You mean Boss Huang will open a new store in the city, and this Old Street store will only serve braised meat rice?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Mingtao nodded, smiling as he informed them about the future arrangement of the restaurant: "Here, the brunch and dinner will exclusively serve braised meat rice and drinks, while breakfast will have fried pork buns, various porridge dishes, and braised eggs. Boss Huang personally said this."
To add credibility, he specifically mentioned Huang Tao.
The nearby office workers who couldn’t get anything: "..."
Does this mean that in the future to eat Boss Huang’s hand-made dishes, they’ll have to go to the new store in the city?
Upon learning this news, they didn’t know whether to be happy or worried.
Someone asked the crucial question, "Has Boss Huang found a location yet?"
"Not yet!"
Jiang Mingtao waved his hand, "It should be finalized in the next couple of days, once settled, Boss Huang should notify everyone."
"Alright, thanks!"
With this news, these office workers helplessly and disappointedly dispersed.
Many even considered changing jobs because of this.
Thinking about finding a job near Huang Tao’s new store.
Of course.
They’ll wait for Huang Tao to finalize the new store location before taking action.
And now that Huang Tao is finished, he belatedly remembered Jiang Mingtao.
Oh dear~
How did I completely forget about them...
He looked over...
Seeing Jiang Mingtao and his assistant sitting on a bench at the store entrance waiting.
It looked like they had been waiting for quite a while.
He quickly walked out of the kitchen, apologetically greeting them, full of remorse, "Chairman Jiang, Assistant Ding, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No worries, cooking is important!"
Jiang Mingtao cheerfully waved his hand, not the least bit upset, saying with full affability, "Anyway, we didn’t have anything to do tonight, waiting a bit longer is no problem!"
Ding Cheng looked surprised, as if saying "Is this really the Chairman Jiang I know?"
You see, in the past, when dealing with other companies, if they were delayed for over half an hour, Chairman Jiang would give them the cold shoulder and not give any chance for an explanation, even refusing future cooperation with that company.
But now, waiting for nearly two hours without complaint, and even understanding Huang Tao.
It can only be said... everyone has their match!
"Thank you, General Manager Jiang, for understanding. Let’s sit down and have a chat first!"
Huang Tao gestured invitingly, politely saying, "The small shop doesn’t have a dedicated meeting room, I hope Chairman Jiang can bear with sitting by the dining table."
Jiang Mingtao grinned, "Ah, it’s fine, I’m not picky at all, anywhere is the same for talking."
Ding Cheng: "..."
Chairman Jiang, do you have a misunderstanding about not being picky?
Just as they sat down.
Xuanxuan ran over and sat in Huang Tao’s lap.
She wanted to listen too!
Besides her, Song Cailian and her husband also approached, nodding and smiling at Jiang Mingtao and the others, while serving them a cup of hot tea: "Chairman Jiang, please have some tea."
"Thank you~"
Jiang Mingtao thanked them, and shared with Huang Tao the information he had found: "Found two places, one is a buffet and the other is a hotpot, each about 150 square meters, with a transfer fee around 200,000!"
Li Chengzhan curiously asked, "Uncle, why are these two places being transferred?"
Jiang Mingtao straightforwardly replied, "Because their business isn’t good, so they’re being transferred."
Li Chengzhan was surprised, "Buffet and hotpot business not doing well? Those two owners must be talented in some way!"
Jiang Mingtao: "..."
If you had nothing to say, no one would think you were mute.
He was worried Huang Tao might have concerns because of this, and doubt he didn’t put effort into finding these places, and only found poorly performing ones for him.
Heaven knows!
This matter he prioritized more than his own company’s affairs!
If because of Li Chengzhan’s words, he lost favor with Huang Tao, he would be like a mute who swallowed bitter medicine, unable to speak out!
Huang Tao indifferently asked, "When do the leases for these two places expire?"
"One has four months left, one has five months left."
Jiang Mingtao thought for a while and said, "I brought related documents of these two places, Boss Huang can take a look."
Before he finished speaking.
Ding Cheng pulled the documents from the folder and handed them over to Huang Tao.
Xuanxuan’s small hands held onto Huang Tao’s arm, staring at the documents.
Huang Yide and his wife also leaned in for a closer look.
Huang Tao smiled and asked Xuanxuan, "Sweetheart, understand it?"
"Hmm~"
Xuanxuan blinked her eyes and said: "Papa, read it to me, if you read it, I should understand."
Oh!
Who knew her vocabulary was so limited!
Seeing this, Huang Tao patted her head, "I’ll teach you characters slowly, dear."
"Mm-hmm!"
She nodded obediently.
Huang Yide turned to Huang Tao and asked, "Tao, which one do you think is better?"
Huang Tao glanced at the two addresses and said, "The one on Zhonghua Road is relatively better."
This place is about 170 square meters, only a hundred meters from Hanjiang Road, with lots of office buildings nearby, and a park, next to New World, and several banks and shopping malls nearby, the location is great.
Definitely plenty of customers passing by.
Huang Yide and his wife nodded, "Then it’s that one!"
They actually didn’t look too closely.
But their son’s choice is the best!
He trusts his son’s judgment.
Huang Tao nodded, then looked at Jiang Mingtao, "Can you contact the landlord for this Zhonghua Road place?"
"No problem!"
Jiang Mingtao confidently patted his chest.
"Then please, Chairman Jiang, help me contact the landlord."
"Alright."
Jiang Mingtao thought he wanted to sign a new contract with the landlord, so he didn’t think too much, "Boss Huang, would you like to visit the place tomorrow?"
"Yes, the sooner, the better."
"Alright, we’ll head back, and once we’ve contacted them, I’ll inform you in the morning."
"I trust General Manager Jiang with this, thank you, let me see you to the door."
Huang Tao gestured politely, seeing them to the store entrance.
