The restaurant's business was gradually improving, and Si Muran played a very important role in it. The people of the Sun manor hadn't expected that the village girl they had looked down upon would become half the master of the Sun manor in the blink of an eye, and her status was even higher than Sun Derong's.
Compared to the spoiled and domineering Miss, Si Muran was much more popular than Sun Derong. The people in the residence saw that she had gained power but did not put on any airs, so they were naturally willing to get closer to her.
Having one less enemy was equivalent to having one more friend. Besides, Si Muran was never the kind of person who would take the initiative to cause trouble. As long as no one was trying to harm her, she would not interfere with others. Hence, Si Muran's life in the Sun family slowly got on the right track. Whenever she had a sudden impulse, she would even cook something for the people in the family. It was something that they had never seen before.
Si Muran was really bored staying in the residence, so she prepared to go to the restaurant to take a look. Ever since the new menu was released, the restaurant's customers had been full of praises for the new dishes. However, they couldn't just rely on these few dishes to keep the customers, so Si Muran began to think of other ways.
As the Sun Family Restaurant was considered an old restaurant in the city, the prices of the dishes had always been above average. It was to the extent that ordinary people could hardly afford to come here to eat a big meal. However, if Si Muran intended to expand the restaurant's customer flow, she could not just limit it to those wealthy families. After all, ordinary people made up the majority of the people.
Si Muran thought about it and decided to change the layout of the restaurant. However, she was not the owner of the restaurant after all. This matter had to be approved by the Sun couple.
As a result, Si Muran told Mr. and Mrs. Sun about it. Unsurprisingly, both of them frowned. If they wanted to renovate the restaurant, it would definitely cost a lot of money. However, it was obvious that they didn't have that much money now. Although they had earned some money in the past few days, they still had a lot of expenses. Moreover, they also had a large family to support. How could they invest all their money into the restaurant so rashly?
Si Muran could understand the Sun couple's difficulties. They didn't know how expensive rice was when they were not in charge. It was normal for them to have concerns. However, Si Muran felt that this was a business opportunity. If she couldn't grasp it, she might not have such an opportunity in the future.
Si Muran didn't sleep much the whole night. The next day, she appeared in front of the Sun couple with big dark circles under her eyes." Big Brother, Sister-in-law, I've thought of a way. I want to give it a try."”
"What is it? Tell me about it first." Sun Dezhao was calmer and trusted Si Muran more. He knew that her idea was indeed for the sake of the restaurant, but their current situation did not allow it, so they could only give up.
"Aren't there many rich families in the city? I plan to get them to pay for the renovation of the restaurant.”
"Tingting, aren't you being silly? We have nothing to do with them, so why would they give us money?”Wu Xiulan couldn't keep up with Si Muran's pace and felt that it was impossible to accomplish.
"I have my own way. I only hope that big brother and sister-in-law can give me this chance to persuade them. If I can succeed, it will only be beneficial to the restaurant.”Si Muran was indeed somewhat confident. Sometimes, success and failure could be decided in a single thought. It was rare for her to put in so much effort into doing something. She hoped that the heavens would not strike her too hard.
Seeing the couple's hesitation, Si Muran continued," Actually, even if we fail, we won't suffer any losses. The restaurant can still provide new dishes and attract customers. But if we succeed, wouldn't it be icing on the cake?”Si Muran had never realized that she had a business mind. Indeed, she was not in a position to govern. She was just a small librarian in the past. How could she have thought of such things?
Although the Sun couple did not know what Si Muran was going to do, they were moved by her boldness. Just like she said, even if she failed, there was no loss. It would be even better if she succeeded.
In the end, Si Muran took the list provided by Sun Dezhao and found Qiao Jiancheng, who had made his fortune with medicinal herbs.
Qiao Jiancheng could be considered to have started from scratch. He had been working on medicinal herbs since he was young and had been an apprentice in medical centers and medicine halls. Relying on his accumulated experience and his bold and meticulous personality, he had finally carved out a 'blood path' and established his own medicinal herb business. It was said that even the Imperial Academy of Medicine purchased most of its medicine from him, so he was naturally one of the richest people in the city.
Qiao Jiancheng was surprised to hear that a young lady was looking for him. However, he had always been a cautious person, so he still asked the servants to let Si Muran in.
Si Muran had never met Qiao Jiancheng before, but he gave her a very dignified feeling when they first met. It was probably because of his age, and after years of accumulation, his eyes seemed to have experienced many vicissitudes.
"Little girl, I heard that you are looking for me?”Qiao Jiancheng looked at Si Muran, who was unattractive, but there was something in her bright black eyes. She looked young and might be able to give her a surprise.
"Boss Qiao, I'm here to discuss a business deal with you.”Si Muran didn't have the inferiority complex or timidity that she should have. She was neither servile nor overbearing, putting herself on the same level as Qiao Jiancheng. This was also part of the psychological warfare. She couldn't lose to the other party.
Qiao Jiancheng raised his eyebrows. There were many people who discussed business with him, but no one would be so generous as to say their purpose. On the contrary, there were countless people who fawned over him. It had not been smooth sailing for him in the past. If he wanted to make a name for himself, he would naturally have to go through some twists and turns. Those who had given him a hard time in the past could only lower their heads and look at him now. Si Muran's appearance had indeed aroused his interest.
"Oh? What business?" If the other party was already on par with him, it was impossible for him not to know who the other party was. He was quite appreciative of an unknown little girl who dared to negotiate conditions in front of him.
"I wonder if Boss Qiao has heard of Sun Family Restaurant?”Although this name was rather old-fashioned, it was more recognizable.
Qiao Jiancheng nodded. Of course, he had heard of it. He had even been forced by his daughter to have a meal. The taste was indeed not bad, but he did not know what the relationship between the girl in front of him and the Sun couple was.
"Boss Qiao, I'm not going to beat around the bush. I'm actually here to borrow money from you.”Before Si Muran came, she had asked around about Qiao Jiancheng. He had always had a good reputation, so Si Muran felt that she should try her luck.
Qiao Jiancheng wondered if he had heard wrongly. This was the first time someone could speak so frankly about borrowing money, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances at Si Muran.
"Boss Qiao, I hope you can listen to me first before you consider lending me the money.”Si Muran continued," I believe Boss Qiao knows that the Sun Family Restaurant has launched a new menu and attracted a lot of customers. Moreover, the restaurant will continue to launch new dishes, so the restaurant's business will only get better and better. We plan to renovate the restaurant so that we can attract more customers, but the problem lies here. We don't have enough money to renovate the restaurant.”
"You have no money, so you came to borrow money from me. But why should I lend it to you?”Business was business. Qiao Jiancheng would never make a loss just because he had a good impression of Si Muran.
"Boss Qiao, this isn't just borrowing money. It's more like an investment. If you sponsor us with this money, you'll naturally get feedback from the restaurant.
" We plan to set up a VIP box in the restaurant. Those who dine in the VIP box can enjoy the exclusive VIP treatment of the restaurant, such as deducting a portion of the silver taels spent, or enjoying a discount on all the dishes, or even getting priority to taste the new dishes when the restaurant releases them, etc.
The first person to sponsor the restaurant would receive a diamond VIP card from the restaurant. The discounts on it would definitely satisfy Boss Qiao.”
Si Muran could only think of some modern marketing methods. They were common in modern times, but they were definitely novel here. Diamond cards, VIP cards, gold cards, silver cards, there were so many of them. Si Muran felt that she was very good at marketing now. Why hadn't she discovered it in the modern world?
Most people in the modern era were too powerful, so it was easier to survive in ancient times. Si Muran was secretly pleased with herself!
Qiao Jiancheng fell into deep thought because of Si Muran's words. It had to be said that these thoughts had shaken him a little. Now that the Sun Family Restaurant's reputation was getting better and better, coupled with the fact that his wife and daughter liked the dishes there, it wasn't impossible for him to sponsor it.
"Are you sure you can do all of this?”Qiao Jiancheng sized Si Muran up. If he had heard about this before, he would never have believed that this was just a little girl's idea.
"If Boss Qiao doesn't trust us, we can sign an agreement to protect the interests of both parties. Boss Qiao is a businessman. Even if I want to fool him, I'm afraid it won't succeed.”Si Muran once again expressed her stance, adding some credibility to what she had said earlier.
Qiao Jiancheng pondered for a long time before saying," How much do you want?”
"Of course, the more the better. The more money you sponsor, the higher the level of the diamond VIP card you get, and the more benefits you get.”Since the fish had already taken the bait, Si Muran didn't mind throwing out more enticement.
Qiao Jiancheng looked at Si Muran and suddenly laughed." I didn't expect to be convinced by a little girl willingly after so many years of doing business. The younger generation is really formidable."”
"Boss Qiao, what are you talking about? I still have many things to learn from Boss Qiao, and I might even need Boss Qiao's help in the future.”Si Muran had never felt good about herself. Moreover, she was more vigilant when facing these people. Perhaps she had suffered quite a bit before and knew the pain.
Qiao Jiancheng was also very pleased with Si Muran's flattery. He probably didn't hear any flattery from Si Muran's tone. She was very honest and believed that he didn't make the wrong decision this time.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 24PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
