Chapter 310: Drinks Issue

Wu Fan's goal is to open his own restaurants in cities across the country, and even abroad, so the demand for ingredients is quite large, and it is obviously not enough to rely on the planting in one village.

"Okay, after I go back, I will go to other nearby villages to take a look and contract more wasteland, fish ponds, etc." Hou Xiaoguang trusts Wu Fan very much. Seeing Wu Fan doing this, he will naturally not miss this opportunity. He also knows that Wu Fan is helping him.

It's worth it to have such a good friend!

"Okay, we're done with business, let's drink." Wu Fan said with a smile: "Last time you said you wanted to get me drunk, but in the end it was you who got drunk. You can't drink much, haha."

"I'll pour the wine. Today I will accompany you, the big boss, and drink you down." Hou Xiaoguang said.

"I guess it's difficult." Wu Fan said.

In the end, the person who drank was Hou Xiaoguang again. It's not that Hou Xiaoguang's alcohol tolerance has decreased, but Wu Fan's body has been transformed. After that, his alcohol tolerance is obviously much greater than before, and Hou Xiaoguang naturally can't drink more than him.

After sending Hou Xiaoguang to the hotel, Wu Fan was ready to leave. However, Chen Bingyao came over at this time.

"Boss, I have something to report to you." Chen Bingyao said with a capable look.

"What is it?" Wu Fan asked.

"It's a report on the operation of our restaurant during this period." Chen Bingyao said: "Due to your cooking skills and connections, our restaurant has developed very well during this period, and the turnover has continued to increase. However, the actual profit is lower than we expected."

"Low profit?" Wu Fan asked with a little doubt.

Other people in the restaurant didn't know about the ingredients. In order to prevent the secret of the ingredients from being leaked, Wu Fan calculated the cost of those ingredients. Could it be that the low profit was due to the cost of those ingredients?

It shouldn't be. Other restaurants also have ingredient procurement costs. Moreover, because the ingredients are originally their own, they have set the cost very low, so it shouldn't lead to too low profits.

"Yes." Chen Bingyao said: "A large part of our daily turnover comes from alcoholic beverages. When we purchased those alcoholic beverages, there was no discount, so the cost was very high, resulting in a very low profit for the restaurant. So, I want to ask the boss if you have any connections in this area, and whether you can buy those alcoholic beverages at a lower price to reduce our costs in this regard."

So that's how it is, Wu Fan suddenly realized.

Although Wu Fan has never intervened in the management of the restaurant, he also knows that alcoholic beverages still account for a large proportion of the guests' consumption, especially those guests in the private rooms on the second floor. The alcohol they drink is not cheap, which naturally increases the restaurant's turnover. However, because the price of these alcoholic beverages is not cheap when the restaurant purchases them, the profit from alcoholic beverages is very low.

This has led to the fact that the turnover data of Jie Zhongjie looks good, but the actual profit is not as expected. As the manager of the restaurant, Chen Bingyao will naturally find this situation, so she came to Wu Fan to report.

On the day the restaurant opened, Chen Bingyao saw many rich young men and young ladies from Jiangzhou come to support the restaurant. So, in her mind, her boss has a lot of connections in Jiangzhou, so finding a relatively low-priced wine channel should not be a problem.

In fact, Chen Bingyao was right. Wu Fan could solve this problem through Wang Ziming or Tang Yufei, and even without their help, when the restaurant became more and more famous, there would definitely be big wineries selling wine, or those wine purchasing channels would take the initiative to lower prices when they realized that Jie Zhongjie was a stable big customer.

So, this matter was not a big deal for Wu Fan.

However, after Chen Bingyao mentioned the wine, Wu Fan thought of another thing.

That is, he knows how to make wine!

Because he opened a restaurant, Wu Fan knew how much profit wine made, especially good wine, which had a greater profit. In this case, why not make wine himself? It can not only solve the problem of wine, but also add a profitable industry for himself.

"Boss? Boss?" Chen Bingyao saw Wu Fan "in a daze" and couldn't help but shout: "Are you listening to me?"

Is my boss too disrespectful? He was in a daze while I was reporting.

"Ah, I am listening, listening." Wu Fan came back to his senses and said, "Leave this matter to me."

"Okay." Chen Bingyao nodded, then turned and left.

"Manager Chen." Wu Fan shouted to Chen Bingyao.

Chen Bingyao turned to look at Wu Fan in confusion.

"You have done a good job recently." Wu Fan said.

"Thank you." Chen Bingyao smiled slightly.

My boss looks pretty good, handsome, and most importantly, good at talking.

Wu Fan didn't know that his words just now changed his image in Chen Bingyao's heart. He just said that, not to compliment Chen Bingyao, but because the other party really did a good job and managed the restaurant in an orderly manner.

As soon as Wu Fan left the restaurant, he received a call from Tang Yufei.

"You haven't forgotten about the competition, right? It's tomorrow night, we'll go together then." Tang Yufei said on the phone, "Because the competition is in the next city, we need to leave early."

Competition?

Wu Fan thought about it and then remembered that Tang Yufei was talking about the racing competition. If she hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten it. After all, he was not too enthusiastic about this matter.

"Okay." Wu Fan said.

Anyway, there was nothing to do in the evening, and Wu Fan also wanted to see those so-called racing masters.

And a name emerged in Wu Fan's mind, Han Baofang.

This is the person Wang Ziming had specially reminded to pay attention to. He should also participate in the competition this time. I wonder if that guy will do anything in the competition.

In the afternoon, Wu Fan rushed to the furniture factory. Zhao Yanan's order has now come to an end. Everyone has been busy during this period. Wu Fan has helped a lot. Those from the master chefs to the ordinary workers in the furniture factory admire Wu Fan's craftsmanship. Wu Fan is not only skilled, but also the speed of making furniture is much faster than others. Several master chefs who looked down on him before now see him as if they have seen an idol. Even Zhao Yanan himself admires Wu Fan very much.

"Has there been any anomalies here recently?" Wu Fan asked Zhao Yanan in the furniture factory.

Wu Fan had not forgotten that this furniture factory had caught fire for no apparent reason before, and it was most likely man-made. Now that this furniture factory was his, he had to pay attention to it.
