Chapter 42: Sik Fort

new York.

Madison Square Garden

Sikeburger burger shop.

This hamburger restaurant just opened last year and business is exceptionally good.

Today, Tommy and Kim are having a party here.

“It’s average, not as delicious as I thought.”

Jin tasted his burger and frowned slightly.

To be honest, her taste has been improved since she tasted the delicious crab patty.

An ordinary hamburger is basically difficult to swallow in her mouth.

It is very good that Xikebao can get average reviews.

After taking a quick bite, Kim put the burger down.

After all, she had important things to do today. She didn't come here to eat, but to investigate the business model of Xikebao.

At an ordinary fast food restaurant, even McDonald's, you can eat a lot for twenty dollars.

But Fort Sike can't do that.

Here, it’s hard to even have a half-full meal with twenty dollars.

A meal here costs at least fifty dollars.

But such a high price did not discourage consumers.

On the contrary, a large number of diners come here just to taste what the so-called healthy burger is all about.

Tommy understood how those people felt.

This is no different from the internet celebrity store in his previous life.

People come here not for the taste, but for the brand and the trend.

Xikebao has seized on this mentality of the people, packaged itself into a high-end brand, promoted the concept of green and health, and attracted more consumers.

“What do you think the future of this store will be like?”

Tommy wasn't as picky as Kim, so he finished his entire meal and asked a question instead.

"Hard to say."

Jin did not answer immediately. After pondering for a while, he gave his answer.

She feels that although the business of Xikebao is still booming now, no one can be sure how long this store can survive.

After all, the hamburgers here are very expensive, and it is said that each beef patty is made from 100% antibiotic-free Angus beef.

The vegetables in the burgers are also organic vegetables from fresh farms.

A lot of effort and money were also spent on employee training.

Due to high costs, the store’s profits in the first year were worrying and it was almost in a state of not making enough money to cover its expenses.

It was only this year that business started to improve and gradually become profitable.

That's why Jin has doubts about this.

Compared with Xikebao, she hopes that Tommy can adopt the business model of Kendeji.

After all, Gnawing Chicken has achieved success.

As for Siekburg, it is more like a toddler, and it is hard to say what it will become in the future.

Unlike Jin, Tommy is very optimistic about this store.

With the experience of his previous life, he knew what the future of this store would be. Amidst all the pessimistic voices, Xikebao's business was getting better and better, and it might even be listed in the near future with a total market value of several billion dollars.

This is certainly not as good as the industry leader, McDonald's.

But the problem is that McDonald's does not rely solely on fast food business to make money, its main focus is real estate projects.

Compared with other peers in the industry, Xikebao can be considered to be very competitive.

It is for this reason that Tommy plans to open his own hamburger restaurant based on Sixburg’s model before Sixburg becomes completely successful.

This was not his original choice. Before he came to New York, he was still thinking of using the advantages of affordable prices and delicious food to build a brand name, and then continue to open branches to quickly occupy the market.

But after arriving in New York, he found that this approach might not work.

After an entire afternoon of investigation yesterday, he discovered that the thing that New York lacks the least is fast food restaurants.

You can see one almost every distance, and they are all different brands.

The fierce competition was so intense that Tommy was amazed.

Of course, Tommy believed that he could indeed make a name for himself with the delicious Krabby Patty.

But the problem is that he would have to put in too much energy.

He didn't forget that his fundamental concern was how to obtain more points. Putting all his energy on business dealings was simply missing the point and was the behavior of a fool.

So, after much consideration, Tommy chose to imitate the Sikkim Castle.

As the saying goes, walk in other people's paths and leave them with no way to go.

With the memories of his past life, he knew how Xikebao succeeded.

Moreover, he has also experienced an era when Internet celebrity stores are crowded.

Although it has stood the test of time, Internet celebrity has gradually become a derogatory term.

But that’s mainly because internet celebrity store owners are good at marketing, but they are not good enough in real skills.

But Tommy was different.

He has the secret recipe for the delicious crab burger, which is his trump card.

During the years he spent in Italy, it was with this recipe that he was able to run the prison restaurant business successfully.

I believe that once I come to New York, I will be very welcome.

Kim didn't understand why Tommy had so much confidence.

But she is just an assistant and can only offer her own suggestions at most.

The real decision on the major direction still has to be made by Tommy himself.

"We can buy the store we like directly and start decorating it. Don't worry about the cost. We must work hard to make it high-end."

Tommy spoke as Jin took notes in a small notebook.

"We also need to acquire a transportation company, a food processing plant, and of course, ranches and farms."

“It’s going to cost a lot of money.”

Jin was vaguely worried.

Tommy's steps were too big, bigger than she had imagined.

She wasn't sure if she had the ability to complete these tasks.

After all, she has not yet graduated from school and does not have much practical experience. In the business world, she is still a green and tender newcomer.

"Boss, I'm afraid I can't handle this much work alone. It would be best to find a few helpers. If possible, I have a few classmates who can recommend me."

"You don't have to introduce anyone to me."

Tommy said this, shaking King's hand which was on the table, with a sincere expression and attitude.

"You don't need to introduce anyone to me. I don't trust anyone except you. You don't know how much energy is hidden in you."

Jin's eyes were a little moist.

Although she knew that her uncle Ken's introduction was a factor, she was still moved and touched by Tommy's attitude of attaching so much importance to it.

Of course, Tommy did this because Kim was young, only in his early 20s, and had no other relatives around him, so he had no ties or concerns.

In this way, young Jin can be influenced by him, constantly transformed, and slowly become his own.

Looking at Kim's current expression, Tommy knew that he was doing the right thing and this was the right path.

At a table nearby, two guests were devouring burgers. After hearing Tommy and his friend's business plan, one of them couldn't help but mutter a few words.

"Pfft, that's ridiculous. You're just eating a burger at Sixburger, but you really think you're some big shot?"

"Hey, Rama, keep your voice down!"
