Chapter 158 Approval from Mother-in-Law
Inside the noodle shop, Lin Jiang checked the day's accounts. Now that he had saved on rent and only had the cost of ingredients and employees, a net profit of 500 million a year would not be a problem.
Tongzi's main task is to expand two more stores, but it is far from enough.
China Overseas has a total of nine districts. If we open two to three stores in each district and control the number to around 20, we should reach the saturation level.
If this is the case with the business spreading everywhere, then the sales of a single store would not be so high. It would be good if it could reach around 200 million, which still means a net income of 4000 million a year. If you take into account the barbecue restaurant, it is possible to exceed million if you are lucky.
And it’s just in Zhonghai. If we open stores across the country, the income will be even more substantial.
But in this case, the delicious MSG may not be enough, so it depends on whether Tongzi will give him the recipe.
In addition, barbecue recipes were also rewarded, so matters related to the barbecue restaurant should also be put on the agenda.
But Tongzi has specified the location for opening a branch of the noodle shop, so he cannot be blind.
You can prepare first, and if a task in this area arises in the future, you can get started directly.
Gradually the sky darkened and those who worked the early shift had already gone home.
Lin Jiang called Chen Jingxian and checked the money in the account. Now, all added up, it was almost 1700 million. The funds were gathering at a very fast speed.
Now I feel a little more confident and go talk to them.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Jiang called out, and Yang Tao and the other two went to change their clothes excitedly.
"Brother Jiang! Brother Jiang!"
Just when Lin Jiang was playing with his mobile phone to kill time, Zhou Xiaoli came running over in a hurry.
She worked the early shift today and it's time to get off work now.
"Why are you back again?"
"I remember you greeted two customers when you came back. I have some impression of that woman. She seemed to be your friend."
"You are talking about Qin Youyou, right? What's wrong?"
"Your friend is in the mall, and he's arguing with someone else. Do you want to go check it out?"
Putting down the phone, Lin Jiang immediately stood up.
"Who did you quarrel with?"
"A watch seller said he broke their watches."
"What brand of watch?"
"It seems to be a spirit of some kind, I can't remember exactly, I'll take you there."
"I know which brand it is. You can go off work first."
"Uh-huh."
Before leaving, Lin Jiang asked Yang Tao and the other two to wait in the store, and he ran towards the Breitling store.
Inside the Breitling store.
Jiang Rongmin stood aside elegantly and did not get involved in the matter. Qin Youyou kept arguing with the watch repairman.
"I'm going to adjust the surveillance now and check your maintenance records."
"You are wrongly accusing me. Your watch was like that to begin with. Now you are saying that I broke it. That's a bit too much."
The watch repairman also argued his case and refused to admit that it was his fault.
"My mother hardly ever wore this watch, so how could there be such an obvious scratch on it? Don't shirk your responsibility."
Qin Youyou is a little timid in relationships, but not in other things.
"I think you are the one who is shirking responsibility. You said you didn't wear it very often, so why should I believe you? Maybe you wear it every day?"
The watch repairman had a sarcastic look on his face and looked at Qin Youyou with raised eyelids.
"You didn't buy a second-hand watch and wanted to extort money from us, did you?"
"You said we should buy a second-hand watch?"
Qin Youyou came here to reason, not to argue.
But this sentence was like a powder keg in Qin Youyou's heart. She rolled up her sleeves and pointed at the watch repairman.
"Although our family is not wealthy, we are not the type to buy second-hand watches. You must explain to me clearly today who bought the second-hand watch."
Jiang Rongmin raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, then said calmly:
"Let's go. There's no need to make a scene in public. Just go back and file a complaint."
Jiang Rongmin's original idea was to reason.
In terms of value, she wouldn't feel bad even if she lost a piece of money worth hundreds of thousands.
But she herself likes this watch very much, and she does not intend to pursue responsibility if it can be repaired.
But the person in front of me is a bit too much.
It would have been fine if he didn't admit his mistake, but he even said with confidence that he bought a second-hand watch, which made her angry.
"Mom, wait a moment."
Qin Youyou became stubborn and had no intention of giving in.
"You must make your words clear today, otherwise I will..."
"long……"
Lin Jiang's voice came, interrupting Qin Youyou's words.
"Brother Jiang."
Seeing Lin Jiang, Qin Youyou felt more confident.
"This guy went too far. He broke my mom's watch. We just wanted him to fix it, but he not only denied it, he even said my mom bought a second-hand watch."
For rich people, it is indeed a bit insulting to say that they buy second-hand things.
"Calm down, I'll take care of it."
Lin Jiang said calmly: "Where is the watch? Let me see it."
"it's here."
Qin Youyou took out the watch, handed it to Lin Jiang, and pointed out the scratches on it.
Since his clairvoyance ability disappeared, Lin Jiang's eyesight has become amazingly good.
Observing the scratches carefully, Lin Jiang felt that they looked new and there was a high probability that they were newly made.
And this watch only costs a few hundred thousand yuan, which is a drop in the bucket for the Qin family. If they made it themselves, they wouldn't come to them.
During this process, Jiang Rongmin kept looking at Lin Jiang.
I found that his emotions were very stable from beginning to end, and he handled things in an orderly manner.
This ability to remain calm is hard to find in people of the same age.
"I feel like this scratch is new, but I'm not sure. I can send it to an appraisal center for an appraisal, and it's easy to find out."
Lin Jiang handed the watch back, looked at Qin Youyou and said, "If the scratches on it are caused by him, just ask your sister to sue him and that's it."
Jiang Rongmin nodded in satisfaction. This approach was a little extreme, but it was still a form of punishment.
"What do you do for a living? Why are you pointing fingers here?"
The watch repairman was a little scared, and pointed at Lin Jiang and said in a timid tone.
"Master Wu, please be polite." The Breitling saleswoman said:
"This is the owner of the Xiaojiang Noodle House next door. I always go there to eat noodles. This has nothing to do with him. Calm down."
"He helped this mother and daughter to cheat me. How can I stay calm?"
After learning Lin Jiang's identity, the maintenance master became even more unscrupulous, pointing at Lin Jiang and yelling:
"Just stay away. This has nothing to do with you. Don't try to join in the fun. Go back and cook your noodles."
"We are all civilized people. Please keep your voice down. I will make a phone call and ask someone to handle it."
"You're playing the game of society, aren't you? Don't think you're the only one who can shake people. I'm telling you, this is a shopping mall. If you dare to touch me, I'll blackmail you to death."
"Brother Jiang..."
Qin Youyou was about to speak but was stopped by Jiang Rongmin.
"Mom, why are you stopping me?"
"Brother Jiang is here, so don't get involved."
"How can this be considered meddling? If Brother Jiang really hires someone to beat him up, we won't be able to handle it."
"It shouldn't be that serious. Let's talk about it later."
Jiang Rongmin didn't know how Lin Jiang would deal with this matter, but she felt that it would not involve fighting.
I was also a little curious.
At this time, Lin Jiang dialed the phone and said lightly, "Come to the Breitling store."
There was no extra nonsense and he hung up the phone after that.
The maintenance man pulled up a chair and crossed his legs.
"You just want to show off in front of your girlfriend, don't you? Find more people and beat me up quickly to vent your girlfriend's anger. I want to buy a car, but I don't have the money yet."
"Don't worry, take your time."
Lin Jiang was not in a hurry and looked around the counter again and again.
"Show me this watch."
The salesgirl didn't react.
Looking at the watch at this time, something seems a little wrong, right?
"This watch is a new model this year. The official price is 197000. If you want it, I can give you a 85% discount."
Lin Jiang nodded, "Take it out and let me have a look."
The waitress took out the watch, Lin Jiang held it in his hand and compared it with Jiang Rongmin's original watch.
"The styles are similar, but the overall look is better. What do you think?"
"Indeed." Qin Youyou nodded.
Jiang Rongmin turned around and sighed helplessly in her heart.
How could I have given birth to such a silly girl?
Lin Jiang called the female clerk over and handed the watch back, "Please give me a ticket. I want this watch."
"Ok."
Seeing Lin Jiang's generosity, the female clerk and the watch repairman were secretly amazed.
Your noodle shop makes so much money that you bought a watch worth more than 100,000 yuan without blinking an eye.
Only when Qin Youyou saw the female clerk going to issue the invoice and pay did she realize what was going on.
"Brother Jiang, this watch is not bought for my mother, right?"
"The scratches on that watch are quite obvious. It may not be easy to repair. Wearing it out again is not suitable for an aunt. It is better to just buy a new one."
"How embarrassing."
"It's not much money, so don't be polite to me."
Saleswoman: ???
Not much money either???
Very niche text.
"Xiao Jiang, I appreciate your kindness. There's no need to spend money. It's just a decoration."
The reason I didn't speak out just now is that this matter has not yet been determined.
Although he guessed that it was bought for him, he couldn't say anything since Lin Jiang didn't say it.
"One thing at a time, I have to take responsibility if anything goes wrong here."
Jiang Rongmin was about to speak when the female clerk came over with the bill already issued and brought the POS machine.
Seeing this, Jiang Rongmin didn't know what to say.
I'll find a chance to pick out a gift for him later.
"Brother Jiang, I'm sorry to have cost you so much money."
"fine."
Just as the two were talking, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Huang Youwei walked in from outside, took a look at the situation in the store and the expressions on everyone's faces, and he had already guessed what had happened.
Jiang Rongmin was also looking at the person who came in. It was obvious that he was the person Lin Jiang had found to solve the problem.
The nameplate on his chest revealed his identity: the general manager of the shopping mall.
The general manager of the mall was summoned with just one phone call. It seems that Lin Jiang still has some power in the mall and his network of contacts is indeed good.
And Youyou just lacks this ability.
If the two of them were together, with Lin Jiang taking care of the outside affairs and Youyou taking care of the inside affairs, they could live a happy life.
When he came to Lin Jiang, Huang Youwei bowed slightly and said politely:
"What happened to Mr. Lin?"
Lin Jiang glanced at the watch repairman, took out Jiang Rongmin's original watch, and said:
"He repaired the watch and it turned out to be a problem, and then he turned around and said that the customer bought a second-hand watch. You should contact their brand manager. If you want to open this store, you should handle this matter. If you don't want to do it anymore, just pack up and leave."
