Chapter 339 - A Restaurant That Can't be Transferred out
“Are you serious?” Jiaang Yu was still doubtful.
Although he had seen many miraculous aspects of Zhang Xiaolong, he did not know much about his background. Other than knowing that he was Wang Zhengyi's disciple in his father's stead, he did not know much about him.
Even if Dr. Wang Zhengyi came personally, he would not have so much money to set up this restaurant. Furthermore, Zhang Xiaolong had never shown any signs of being a rich person. He was only in economy class on the plane, so naturally, he thought that the other party did not have much money. He did not expect that the other party would be able to raise tens of millions of dollars with just a single move. However, he had misjudged the other party's wealth.
“Of course it's true.” Zhang Xiaolong nodded, “Recently, due to my work, I have always said that I am a TCM doctor. However, in reality, I don't even have a medical qualification certificate. Therefore, other than my identity as a student, my most important body is that of a peasant. Now, I will let the Flying Phoenix Restaurant in front of me see just how much power a peasant has!”
“Hey, this is a joke. In the past, my dad always said that I was not obedient, but I see that you are even more unruly than me. But I like it, haha, to be angry for a woman, how amazing! ” Jiaang Yu praised.
Luh Xiaoya's face flushed red. Although she had said those words without thinking, the matter had arisen from her. Zhang Xiaolong was angry for her, so he did what he did. It made her heart race.
Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaolong already had a wife. If he was still like before, Luh Xiaoya would have the impulse to teach Lee Xiulian everything she knew to Zhang Xiaolong.
Jiaang Yu was happy, and Jiaang Mei was even more so. She was afraid that the world would be in chaos. Earlier, she had not allowed her brother to make a scene because she was afraid of damaging her father's reputation. But now, Zhang Xiaolong had used a business tactic to attack her. It was a huge difference. She was more proactive than anyone else, even forgetting about eating.
The group of people walked away on foot. Two men and two women walked into the Haosheng Restaurant one after another. This situation naturally fell into Yang Maocheng's eyes.
He was puzzled for a moment. He also thought that this brat was just a braggart. Even if he was really a rich second generation, he would not throw tens of millions of yuan like stones into the water.
“I didn't expect these brats to be so cunning. They knew I would be here, so they purposely went to the other side to see if you could afford to rent it!” Yang Maocheng thought to himself.
Even if the restaurant was to be sold at a loss, it would still cost four million yuan. Zhang Xiaolong claimed that he was a peasant, so how could he possibly take out four million yuan? Besides, four million yuan was only the rent, the big money was still behind.
“Is there anyone here?” After the group of people entered the restaurant, Zhang Xiaolong shouted for them. The room was so quiet that it could even produce echoes.
A few waiters ran out from the back, their faces full of anticipation as they asked, “Boss, are you here to rent the restaurant?”
This time, Zhang Xiaolong and the others were dumbfounded. The restaurant was indeed in the process of transferring ownership, but why was the waiter so anxious?
“Do you have any food here? Let's eat first.” Zhang Xiaolong said.
“There is nothing here. The chef is gone, so I'm sorry. Please go to another restaurant.” Although the waiter was disappointed, he did not put on an ugly expression. He still responded politely.
“Then do you have any dishes at the back? Do you want me to make it for you?” Zhang Xiaolong asked. “Of course, I will pay for the ingredients and the price you paid for them. Isn't that good enough?”
“This…” The waiter was a little embarrassed. “I'll ask you. It's the first time I've seen you eat like this.”
Using the restaurant's dishes and ingredients, making them himself, and paying for the dishes according to the restaurant's price. Wasn't this sending money out of the restaurant?
The problem was, if you just sent the money, it would be fine. Why did you have to work so hard?
Before long, the waiter brought a middle-aged man over. The man had a fat body and looked like a hotel chef. When he saw Zhang Xiaolong and the others, he smiled at them and said, “I heard that you want to use the restaurant's place to cook?”
“Right.” Zhang Xiaolong said calmly, “Originally, we were going to the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant on the other side. However, we ran into some troublesome matters and didn't manage to eat. So, we came to your restaurant to try your food. Since you don't have a chef, I had to cook myself. What, the boss doesn't want to cook anymore?”
“Ai, it's also because I was too weak to think things through. How about this, let me cook a few dishes for everyone. This will be the last meal in this restaurant.” The boss sighed.
“What? The restaurant has already been transferred?” Zhang Xiaolong asked.
The boss seemed reluctant, but he still nodded his head. “We agreed to come here in two hours. If it's not too much, I will transfer it. I was impulsive back then, thinking that Old Master Yang De could do it. I was even more ambitious than him, so there was no reason why I couldn't do it. I never thought that in half a year, I would not be able to earn a single cent. Instead, I spent all the money in my hands. If I don't transfer it now, I won't even be able to get the salary of these young girls and boys.”
Only then did Zhang Xiaolong and the others understand why the waiters would immediately ask if they were here to rent the restaurant. It seemed that they were waiting for the boss to agree, and then they would be paid.
“How much did we talk about?” Zhang Xiaolong asked again.
“About four million. I spent twelve million to rent it for three years, and now I only have two and a half years left. Four million is not considered expensive.” After saying that, the boss turned around and went to cook.
“Four million for two and a half years? This is a very generous price.” Jiaang Yu was a little doubtful, “This is not right, right? According to the rules, someone would have come to this place a long time ago. Why would they wait until now?”
“There must be some special reason behind this. Otherwise, no one would be willing to take such a huge advantage.” Zhang Xiaolong thought for a moment, then waved his hand and called the waiter over, “Do you have many customers coming here to check out the restaurant?”
The waiter shook his head repeatedly, “I have never seen so many people come here. Even if they were here to check out the restaurant, they would just turn around and leave after hearing the conditions.”
“Conditions? Isn't your boss's conditions very favorable? Why would he leave after listening to the conditions? ” Jiaang Yu was even more confused.
“Because this is only a restaurant, but there is a Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant across the street. Looking at our boss's business situation, no one would be willing to rent the restaurant after hearing the conditions. Those who don't want to rent the restaurant would not be able to do so after asking around. Therefore, they have not been transferred out.” The waiter was honest.
“Hehe, it seems that we really came here.” Jiaang Yu laughed, “Xiaolong, this is simply a place tailored for you.”
“Tell us all this. If we wanted to rent it, why would we not rent it now? Aren't you afraid that the boss will be angry?” Zhang Xiaolong asked with a smile.
“No, the boss usually tells those who come to check out the restaurant like this. He says that he has been tricked by someone and does not want others to be like him. As long as someone with real ability comes, this restaurant will not have to worry about being transferred out. He will not treat us unfairly.” The waiter said.
“Don't worry. When the new restaurant opens, I won't treat you unfairly.” Zhang Xiaolong smiled.
