Chapter 98 The Old Man's Inspection

Su Jianfeng knew very well what his naughty son was like.

He was not very surprised when these people said that his son opened a disco. After all, his son had wanted to do it for a long time, and maybe he really opened a disco in partnership with someone behind his back.

But these people said that his son's store was doing very well and that he was good at business, but to Su Jianfeng, this was pure nonsense.

Su Ziqiang is uneducated, cynical, and very concerned about his reputation. If others compliment him a little, he will be willing to suffer a little loss. Su Jianfeng has long seen that he is definitely not cut out for business.

He was wondering when his cell phone suddenly rang.

When he saw that the person calling was his younger brother, he said to everyone, "Everyone, I'll take a call and talk later."

After saying that, he picked up the phone and walked out of the club box before pressing the answer button.

As soon as the phone was connected, a surprised voice came from the other end: "Boss Su, you don't know about Ziqiang opening a store yet?"

"I know shit."

Su Jianfeng was also puzzled and asked him, "Second Brother, do you know all about this?"

The man on the other end of the phone who was called Lao Er was also known as Ma Lao Er. He was also a top figure in Jiangcheng Road.

In his early years, he made a name for himself by fighting and vying for power, and was later recruited by Su Jianfeng as the main material supplier of Jinhan Real Estate. He was responsible for supplying cement and sand to all the construction sites of Jinhan Real Estate, and he was also responsible for ensuring the safety of all the construction sites.

Ma Lao Er then replied, "I only found out about this today when I heard them talking about it. I thought you knew it a long time ago and just kept it a secret."

Su Jianfeng quickly asked: "What's going on?"

Su Jianfeng could no longer suppress his curiosity at this moment.

Ma Lao Er explained on the phone, "I heard from one of my subordinates today that a coal boss from Jin Province spent over 100,000 yuan at a disco. Out of curiosity, I asked more about it and found out that the place was owned by Ziqiang and had been open for two or three months."

Su Jianfeng cursed, "This guy asked me for money to open a disco before, but I ignored him. I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect him to actually open one. Where did he get the money?"

"This one……"

Ma Lao Er said awkwardly: "I'm not sure about the details..."

"Tsk tsk..."

After a pause, Su Jianfeng asked him, "Do you know who the shareholders are?"

Ma Lao Er said, "By the way, Mr. Su, someone outside said that the store was opened by a brother and sister. I guess Zishan is also a shareholder, right?"

Su Jianfeng frowned and thought for a moment, then said with emotion: "That's right..."

During the six years that Su Zisan was in school, Su Jianfeng transferred one million yuan to her card every year, and gave her extra money during the holidays.

He gave her so much money because he had four children and she was the only daughter, the youngest one. So he didn't know how to express his love for her, so he just gave her more money and learned from others how to raise a daughter in luxury.

The second reason is that Su Zishan needs to sketch everywhere to study art, most of the time in China, and occasionally she has to go abroad for field trips, which in itself consumes a lot of money.

However, no matter how high the expenses are, after six years, at least three or four million can be saved. The money for opening the disco probably comes from here.

Ma Lao Er was still muttering on the other end of the phone: "Zi Qiang and Zi Shan are quite good at hiding things. They didn't even tell you about such a big commotion."

Su Jianfeng pondered for a moment, then said to Ma Laoer on the other end of the phone: "Laoer, come to the Shenzhou Club to find me at 8 o'clock and accompany me to take a look at their store."

"Okay, Mr. Su."

Ma Lao Er immediately agreed and asked him, "Do you want to say hello to Ziqiang?"

"Need not."

Su Jianfeng said in a stern tone: "Catch him off guard!"

When Chen Cheng was practicing piano with Liu Shiyu, his cell phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

The call was from Su Zishan. Chen Cheng said to Liu Shiyu embarrassedly, "Teacher Liu, my boss is calling. I'll take it."

Liu Shiyu nodded: "You answer it, I'll go get a glass of water."

As he said that, he stood up and walked towards the water dispenser.

Chen Cheng pressed the answer button, and Su Zisan's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Manager Chen, are you free to come to the store tonight?"

Chen Cheng was puzzled. He had just told Su Zisan at the dinner party last night that he would not be coming today, so he asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong, Sister Shan?"

Su Zishan said, "I have a good idea, but my brother and I can't make up our minds. We'd like you to come over and discuss it. It won't take you too long."

Chen Cheng thought that he and Liu Shiyu had been studying for an hour and it was almost time to finish, so he said, "Then I'll go over there later."

Su Zishan asked, "Do you want me to pick you up?"

Chen Cheng declined without hesitation: "Don't bother, I'll just take a taxi there."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Shiyu came over with two glasses of water. She handed one to Chen Cheng and asked him, "Does your boss want to talk to you?"

"Correct."

Chen Cheng took the water cup and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, but I have to go first. The boss wants to see me for something!"

"Row."

Liu Shiyu nodded, thinking that Chen Cheng had it tough. An eighteen-year-old boy, military training hadn't even finished yet, and he was already working so hard to earn money. She pulled a set of keys from the cabinet, handed them to Chen Cheng, and said, "No one else comes here after class except me. You can come and practice piano anytime you have time."

"it is good."

Chen Cheng took the key: "Thank you, Teacher Liu."

Liu Shiyu smiled and said, "Okay, if you have something to do, go and do it quickly. Then go to bed early."

"Okay, Mr. Liu."
-
Chen Cheng said goodbye to Liu Shiyu, left the school gate and took a taxi straight to Yexing.

When he arrived at Yexing, he was slightly shocked by the scene in the store today.

Although today is Monday, the customer flow is comparable to that of the weekend. It’s just past eight o’clock and the place is already packed.

Zhao Siyan was a little surprised to see Chen Cheng, and couldn't help asking him: "Chen Cheng, didn't you say you wouldn't come on weekdays this week?"

Chen Cheng was slightly stunned when he saw her, and then he remembered that she was now the public relations manager here.

So I said to her, "I came to talk to Brother Qiang about something. How was your first day at work?"

"pretty good."

Zhao Siyan said, "Just now, a few customers ordered set meals. I went over to greet them and asked about their feelings and needs. One table of guests wanted to order the 1888 set meal, but we don't have hostesses on duty on weekdays."

Chen Cheng nodded. "The cost of the etiquette lady is here. It's 1888 per night. You can first observe whether there are many customers who want to order the set meal on weekdays. If there are one or two tables that come in every day, you can consider having the etiquette lady on duty permanently."

Zhao Siyan smiled and said, "I think so too. I plan to observe from Monday to Thursday and take an average."

At this point, she said to Chen Cheng, "By the way, if our etiquette ladies can go from three days a week to seven days a week, I'm sure they can get their appearance fee down to 80 yuan. That would be perfect for them, and they could earn at least 2,000 yuan a month, and we could also reduce our costs."

"sure."

Chen Cheng agreed and said, "You can talk to the etiquette ladies first and ask them about their intentions. If they agree to lower their appearance fees appropriately, and the guests really have a daily demand for it, then this thing can be done."

"it is good!"

Zhao Siyan smiled sweetly and said, "I'll push it forward and put together a report for you on Friday."

Chen Cheng was surprised in his heart, but said calmly, "You do it, I'll take a look on Friday."

Su Ziqiang saw Chen Cheng coming, so he walked over and excitedly pulled him into the office, saying to him, "Manager Chen, we made such a big fuss last night that it's become a hot topic all over the city. Many customers today came here because of our reputation."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to have such strong word-of-mouth."

Seeing Su Zishan sitting on the sofa, he asked, "Sister Shan, do you have anything good to tell me?"

Su Zishan said to Su Ziqiang: "Brother, tell Chen Cheng!"

Su Ziqiang said proudly, "There's a guy who runs a disco in South City who came to me and wants to open a second disco under our name. He said he'd give us 15% of our sales in return. What do you think?"

Chen Cheng said nonchalantly, "Wild is your store and your brand. It's up to you whether you want to authorize others to use it or not."

Su Ziqiang immediately said, "I think this kind of good thing cannot be rejected. It's like a free gift."

Chen Cheng asked, "That store's business must be not very good, right?"

Su Ziqiang said: "They only make around 100,000 yuan in sales a month."

"Hundreds of thousands..."

Chen Cheng said seriously, "I don't think it's necessary. Even if they use our name, we won't make much money. He makes 200,000 yuan a month, so we only get 30,000 yuan. There's also the risk of them ruining our reputation. If they use our name to do something, it will be a problem."

After that, he added: "Of course this is my personal opinion, for reference only."

Su Ziqiang asked, "What's the problem with this? We just authorize him to use our brand, and then we can just wait for the profit. 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month, isn't that quite a lot?"

Chen Cheng asked back, "Brother Qiang, let's say you cooperate with them, they agree, and then they aggressively promote pre-deposits in your store, offering a 5,000 yuan bonus for a 5,000 yuan deposit, a 10,000 yuan bonus for a 20,000 yuan deposit, and tricking a bunch of people into depositing millions. Then they just walk away, what would you do?"

Su Ziqiang was surprised: "What does this have to do with me?"

Chen Cheng asked, "Even if it's not a legal issue, can you avoid it from a reputational perspective? If they all come to you to ask for your money back, and you explain to them one by one that it has nothing to do with you, will we still be able to do business?"

Su Ziqiang often took things at face value. After hearing what Chen Cheng said, he probably understood the risks involved. However, he was still a little hesitant and asked Chen Cheng, "Can we sign an agreement with them, clearly stating in black and white that we will not bear any responsibility?"

Chen Cheng shook his head. "I really don't think it's necessary. We have no way of estimating how many customers we have in Chengnan. If you authorize him to use your brand, Chengnan's customers will stop coming to our store. This hidden loss may be greater than the income."

Su Zishan then said, "Brother, listen to Chen Cheng and refuse."

"Ok."

Su Ziqiang sighed with some regret: "Then let's ignore them. When we have enough cash, we can open a branch directly!"

Chen Cheng didn't respond. For the nightclub business, opening branches is the inevitable direction to make it bigger and stronger.

But when these words came out of Su Ziqiang's mouth, they seemed very unreliable.

Besides, he himself did not want to delve deeply into this business. After making the first pot of gold, he could slowly withdraw.

At this moment, the fourth brother's nervous voice suddenly came from the intercom that Su Ziqiang placed on the table: "Brother Qiang, President Su is here!"
