Chapter 350

Shu Yu knows that Gu Zheng's cooking is very good. He knew it when he was studying before.

Later, Gu Zheng made fried eggs. She also ate Gu Zheng's fried eggs and knew the taste. Then Gu Zheng went to participate in the Hangzhou food competition, and Gu Zheng won the championship.

At that time, in her opinion, Gu Zheng's cooking was very good and absolutely reached the master level, but it was just so. She never thought that Gu Zheng would win the national food competition later.

And it is said to be the most powerful champion, the champion with the highest gold content.

The first in the country is completely different from the first in the previous Hangzhou competition, and the national food competition is the most recognized competition in the country. Gu Gu's struggle for the first is tantamount to making him the most famous person in the food industry.

"I didn't hide it. I haven't always shown my cooking before!"

Gu Zheng smiled and said a sentence, while Shu Yu was slightly stunned. Gu Zheng was right. He did not hide his cooking and cooked for them before.

They didn't expect that Gu Zheng had such good cooking.

"How's your business?"

Gu Zheng digged off the topic. He had demonstrated his cooking skills before, but he had not been inherited by tiexian at that meeting. Compared with his current cooking skills, it was very different. Shu Yu would not know or think of this.

"I have opened 150 Direct stores in Shencheng, Hangcheng and Sucheng. 70% are profitable, 20% are flat, and only 10% are in a state of loss, but they are new stores and haven't made a reputation. I believe they can make a profit soon!"

Speaking of his business, Shu Yu was a little interested. Gu Zheng was surprised this time. Shu Yu's small store opened for more than a year. Unexpectedly, so many stores have been opened, the most important of which are direct stores.

Direct stores need to invest and open by themselves. Chain franchises can charge others' money and let others open in their own name. The meaning is completely different. Direct stores need to invest by themselves and franchises make money.

In more than a year, it has opened 150 Direct stores. Although such a small store has little investment, it needs at least 200000 or 300000. If the store is larger, it is even higher. This is equivalent to more than a year. Shu Yu has invested tens of millions.

Although Gu Zheng also made a lot of money, he was really different from Shu Yu. First, he got the old soup of the sun family and made a better chicken blood soup. Later, he found several best foods.

Secondly, he also has Chang family as a partner, which can let him have no worries. Shu Yu makes small fast food, very cheap Wong blunt. Lin run is not as high as his chicken blood soup, and it is also a small shop. In this case, it is really not easy to open so many Direct stores.

Another point is that Shu Yu absolutely didn't rely on her parents, which is very clear. If she had to rely on her parents, she wouldn't have opened such a small shop by herself.

Shu Yu is absolutely the first of their classmates who can do it by himself.

As for him, although he earned more than Shu Yu, he didn't rely on himself. He had the cheating device of tiexianling and his regular partners. They finally earned so much. They were different in nature.

"That's nice. Congratulations!"

Gu Zheng stretched out his thumb. The old classmate did his career. He was also very happy and happy for Shu Yu.

"But it's still better than you. Guji chicken blood soup has become a benchmark in the fast food industry, which can't be copied!"

Shu Yu is right this time. Many people want to make money like Guji chicken blood soup. Unfortunately, they don't have the taste of Guji. Without that taste, they can't attract customers.

The existence of Guji also proves once again the rule of taste winning. Real food must have the best taste.

"Let's go inside and talk!"

Gu Zheng pointed to the coffee shop next to them. They have been talking on the road. Many people have looked back at them. This is really not a place to talk.

"Good!"

Shu Yu readily agreed. In the coffee shop, Gu Zheng also learned about Shu Yu's entrepreneurial process over the past year.

Her current development is really good, but it is also very difficult. Not long after Gu Zheng left, she began to prepare for the branch store and asked for money. She didn't have much money, so she wanted to raise money.

She has only one small shop. It's not easy to raise money. Many people are unwilling to invest in her. Finally, a venture capitalist took a fancy to her business, but only gave her 500000.

500000, only two stores can be opened at most, which can't meet Shu Yu's expectations at all.

However, it's better to open two than not. Relying on the 500000 yuan and the three stores, the reputation of the three stores is very good, and the benefits are very fast, which makes the venture capital very satisfied. After that, an additional investment of $5 million was added.

With this five million yuan and then a loan from the bank, Shu Yucai completely developed her imperial wonton to the scale of 150 today. Because she developed too fast, she is still in negative assets and owes a lot of money to the bank.

However, the overall benefits of all her stores are very good. Catering is originally a profitable business. Now 70% of her stores are profitable, of which more than 50% can fully return the capital within one year, and the rest can return the capital within two years at the latest according to the current development.

Most of the 30% are not profitable. It is not time to make a profit. Only three have been in a state of loss because of the wrong location, but there are not many losses. Shu Yu can fully support it.

Because the venture capital investment is relatively early, after several capital increases, the venture capital still accounts for 30% of the shares, so Shu Yu has only 70% equity, and the company is no longer her own.

Venture capitalists also want to continue to invest and increase their holdings, but Shu Yu refused. Now they have expanded. They can't eat fat at one breath. They should digest all the current, stabilize and expand later.

"Why not engage in chain franchise, so you can relax a lot and make more money!"

Gu Zheng asked casually that direct sales should invest by themselves. Chain franchises not only don't pay money, but also charge franchise fees. Then they can make a profit by providing goods. In any case, the franchise mode is more cost-effective.

Shu Yu shook his head: "many people want to join, and I refused. I don't intend to follow the franchise mode in the future. All direct franchises are more profitable, but the forest is large, and it's easy to have bad birds. One or two franchise stores can destroy my brand. What's most valuable now is the brand, which must be protected!"

"In addition, really good, top companies don't follow the franchise model, they are all directly operated by themselves, which is easier to control!"

Shu Yu considered the franchise mode at the beginning, but it would not be famous, and no one is willing to join. Now that she has fame, she feels the benefits of direct marketing, so she doesn't consider joining.

He would rather develop slowly than maintain his own brand. Gu Zheng agrees with this. Many people want to join his Guji chicken blood soup, and he never promised.

It's very happy to meet old friends in a foreign country, not to mention old classmates in a foreign country.

Gu Zheng and Shu Yu had dinner together before they left. They made an appointment to go back to the food festival. Gu Zheng is a special guest of the food festival. At that time, they want to cook delicious food. Shu Yu also said that they must taste it.

Back home, Gu Ming hasn't finished work yet. Gu Zheng simply takes out the ingredients of the wasteland space and prepares to make a more delicious dinner.

He cooked the meal yesterday, but all the ingredients used here. The ingredients used by Gu Ming are not bad, but they are only above the low level and not much inferior. There are no ordinary level at all.

The ingredients Gu Zheng takes out are all above ordinary, and the taste and taste will be better.

When Gu Ming came back, Gu Zheng had just finished cooking. Gu Zheng cooked four dishes and was eaten clean by Gu Ming. This meal finally made Gu Ming understand why those people said that Gu Zheng had the highest gold content this time.

The food made by changing the ingredients is really unusual.

He can't make such delicious food by himself. Gu Ming praised Gu Zheng very much, which made Gu Zheng very proud. Unfortunately, it's not good to be too proud. After boasting, Gu Ming asked Gu Zheng to provide him with these better ingredients.

Fortunately, Gu Ming doesn't want much. If he wants more, Gu Zheng can't help it. These good ingredients are hard saved by Gu Zheng, and he doesn't have much himself.

Fortunately, Gu Ming wants all kinds of popular ingredients, and several of them can be improved by Gu Zheng. He can provide a lot of such ingredients.

Even if Gu Ming doesn't want it, Gu Zheng will leave him a part. After all, this is his father and his closest person at present.

At the same time, in a small town in Britain, the first of the five Indians was kneeling on the ground and looking at a mirror in front of him.

What appears in the mirror is a vortex. Facing this vortex, the head of India dare not lift.

"Can he really absorb your strength?"

A dull voice came from the mirror, and the Indian leader quickly nodded: "yes, master, the power of titak was absorbed by him, but then he came back!"

Titak is the unlucky guy who was sucked away by Gu Zheng before.

"He also said that he came from Emei. Let's tell you!"

The first Indian continued to kneel and whispered. The vortex in the mirror kept shaking again, but there was no sound.

"The plan is cancelled. Come back first!"

After a long time, the voice in the mirror said something. The first Indian immediately kowtowed and left the room. After he left, there was a faint sigh in the mirror.

"Emei, haven't been back for a long time!"

The next day, Gu Zheng got up early in the morning. The Lyon food festival held its opening ceremony today. As a special guest, he was going to attend today. Paris is not close to Lyon, and the high-speed railway takes more than an hour. He needs to start early.

Changle once said he would pick him up by private plane, but Gu Zheng refused. He just came to participate in an activity and didn't want to be so high-profile.

It was not until Lyon guzheng knew that he was wrong. Even if Changle sent him by private plane, he would not be high-profile. There are too many private planes here.

Lyon food festival has become a place for European nobles to have fun in early years. Now it has become more serious. Not only European nobles, but also nobles and rich people in many other places have begun to participate.

The most typical people are people from Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Several princes participated in the food festival. They not only had private planes, but also brought their pets. Some brought eagles, some python, some leopards and lions.

However, these pets are required to be kept in cages. They are absolutely not allowed to be released, and the police are specially watching.

Even so, they are also very high-profile. A prince has to walk the carpet from getting off the bus. The place he walks through must be covered with carpet. The carpet he walks through once will never walk, and must be high-grade carpet.

In this way, he would walk thousands of carpets a day.

There are many patterns of nobles in the Middle East, and there are also many patterns of ancient nobles in Europe. Some people use cars to directly pull a house. This is a real RV. Others come with a cavalry composed of 200 people, but his troops are dressed up as medieval knights, not modern troops.

The modern army, even if they were aristocrats, could not be brought out in such a swagger.

In a word, there are all kinds of things here. Only what you can't think of and nothing you can't see. Gu Zheng sighed that it was an eye opener. He never thought that people could play so many tricks.

"Hello, Mr. Gu. My name is hausen and I have a French name, La rump. I will serve you all the way this time!"

After Gu Zheng arrived at the food festival, a man came to pick him up soon. He was an oriental face, but he had joined the French nationality and was a French Chinese.

"Hello!"

Gu Zheng held out his hand and held it politely with him. Hao Sen was about twenty-five or six years old. He was not tall and was in his early seventies, but he looked very energetic.

Gu Zheng had a good impression on him for a simple reason. When he introduced himself, he first introduced his Chinese name. Whether it was because Gu Zheng came from China or not, Gu Zheng was very satisfied with his introduction.

This is different from the young man I met before. He is a scum who forgets his ancestors.

"On behalf of Sir brown, thank you for coming to this event!"

Haosen took everything from Gu Zheng and said again. Gu Zheng turned back in surprise: "Sir brown, what's the matter? I wasn't directly invited by your organizing committee?"

"Sir Brown is one of the members of the organizing committee. He invited you to attend, so you are not only the invitation of the organizing committee, but also Sir Brown's distinguished guest!"

Hao Sen slowly explained, while Gu Zheng widened his eyes and was quite speechless.

His invitation only had the name of the organizing committee. He never mentioned Sir brown, but he didn't expect such a person to appear here.

Moreover, listening to the meaning of Haosen, it seems that he was invited by Sir brown. Originally a public invitation, he suddenly became a private guest, which made Gu Zheng a little difficult to accept.

In fact, Gu Ming knew this for a long time. Now the so-called invitation of the organizing committee is all the aristocrats themselves. Although he doesn't know which aristocrat invited him, he understands that there must be an aristocrat behind the ancient dispute.

The reason why Gu Ming didn't say it was that he wanted Gu Zheng to experience it himself. Only in this way would he be more disgusted and won't participate in such activities in the future.

Sir Brown is a Spanish aristocrat, but he stays in France all the year round. He is young and in his early thirties. He is a successor. His ancestors have been European aristocrats for hundreds of years.
