Ling Zhenfei laughed, "This is my store; where could I possibly run off to? You two carry on discussing the renovation."
"Exactly, Boss, the blueprints are all ready. We're just waiting for the asurents to be completed before we start work imdiately," Zhou Tong said, his face full of excitent as he discussed his plans.
"This is my classmate Zhang Yong. He's studied interior design, and I'm discussing it with him right now," Zhou Tong introduced the two n.
"Greetings, Divine Doctor Ling. I've heard so much about you; it's a pleasure to et you," Zhang Yong said politely to Ling Zhenfei.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, regarding the specific decor of our restaurant, I'd like to make a suggestion."
"Please speak, Divine Doctor Ling. As long as it's within my power, I'll make it happen," Zhang Yong appeared very accommodating.
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Just now Zhou Tong ntioned that we should save where we can. I want to tell you, don't worry about saving money for . We need the best materials, and strive for perfection. My restaurant's market positioning is not cheap. It's high-end. Do you know what high-end ans?"
Zhang Yong, slightly startled, replied, "I know, yes, I know. But according to these blueprints, the costs are quite high."
"How much?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
Zhang Yong calculated and said, "At cost price, it would be at least twenty million."
Ling Zhenfei smiled faintly and said, "Twenty million it is then. You calculate the workers' wages separately. As long as the quality is good, no cutting corners, and the work ticulous, not a penny less will you be short."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong hurriedly said to Ling Zhenfei, "Boss, what's going on? Isn't this a bit too much wastage? So areas the custors won't even see; do we need to be so particular?"
Ling Zhenfei shook his head and said, "Don't worry, just do as I say. Isn't this also your dream? Consider it my contribution to making your dream co true. I'm setting the budget at twenty-five million. If there are any changes needed, make them imdiately."
"Understood, Boss. I'll do it right, don't worry," Zhou Tong said, very grateful.
"Tomorrow, transfer the money to the bar's financial account. I'm leaving this in your hands. Are you confident you can do it well?"
"Confident, I will definitely complete the task," Zhou Tong said, moved to tears, almost making it seem like it was his own hotel.
Ling Zhenfei smiled, turned, and left the bar, making the bar right also seed like settling a piece of his own mind.
As long as this hotel does well after it opens, he would take the franchise national.
After leaving the bar, Ling Zhenfei, in contrast, didn't know where to go. At this late hour, what places could he visit? It wasn't long before Ling Zhenfei rembered the ornantal fish farm not too far away.
It had been a long ti since his last visit; Ling Zhenfei decided to go and see.
He quickly arrived at the ornantal fish farm, only to find that Fatty and Zhou Qun were there. It turned out a new batch of ornantal fish had just arrived for breeding, so both of them stayed here all evening.
Seeing Ling Zhenfei, both of them were extrely surprised since it had been a long ti since his last visit, especially now that Ling Zhenfei was very busy and even seldom saw Fatty.
"Big busy man, what made you think of coming here?" Fatty joked.
Ling Zhenfei shared his background, and the two people were very happy. They introduced him to the current situation where the variety and number of fish in the ornantal fish base had greatly increased compared to last ti.
Last ti, due to poisoning, they suffered heavy losses, so this ti they had learned from experience and increased the staff to prevent another poisoning incident, especially since they planned to breed their own fish.
By breeding their own fish, they could save a significant amount of expenses and also increase the number of fish, with greater selectivity.
When Ling Zhenfei asked, the two hadn't eaten yet, so the three of them imdiately agreed to have so food and drinks. They asked the workers at the base to buy so alcohol and dishes, and the three began drinking in the office.
While eating and chatting, Ling Zhenfei felt that it had been a long ti since he had enjoyed such a life, and he found it very comfortable.
Since he no longer had Northern Spiritual Energy, Ling Zhenfei indeed resembled an ordinary person more and he enjoyed chatting with Fatty a lot.
Zhou Qun drank a glass of wine and asked Ling Zhenfei, "Boss Ling, I have a suggestion for you."
Ling Zhenfei looked at Zhou Qun and said, "There are no outsiders here, so feel free to speak your mind."
Zhou Qun said, "I am very happy that the manor is under large-scale construction. It proves I made the right choice following you, but it's a huge loss not to use such a big lake under Xi Shan for fish farming."
"With such a huge lake, if you use it to farm fish and sell them in the market, we still wouldn't beco wealthy."
Fatty also joined in, "Yes, Zhenfei, I think Zhou Qun is right. We need to make rational use of resources."
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Do you think I'm foolish not to utilize such a large lake? But I want you to look further ahead. Xishan Manor will go upscale in the future, and with Zhou Qun's great talents, would I really let you go fishing to sell fish?"
"What do you an by that, Boss Ling?" Zhou Qun asked, puzzled.
Seeing the bewildered looks on Zhou Qun's and Fatty's faces, Ling Zhenfei explained, "Xishan Manor will follow an upscale path in the future. Such a big lake isn't just a fishpond; it's a scenic lake. We can farm fish, but we cannot disrupt the water quality and the scenery."
"Zhou Qun, I know you have had your eye on that lake for a while, but what you need to do is not just increase the number of fish in the lake but also fish reasonably. The lake is only for angling, not for net fishing."
"Isn't that a bit wasteful?" Zhou Qun, who studied aquaculture, wasn't very familiar with sales managent.
"Tell , how much can you sell a fish for?" Ling Zhenfei wanted Zhou Qun to understand through practical actions.
Zhou Qun thought for a mont and said, "If we sell to fishmongers, a carp can sell for at least four to five yuan, and a big one for seven to eight yuan."
"One fish for seven to eight yuan. Do you know how much it costs to spend a night at Xishan Manor in the future? My lowest price is over one thousand five hundred yuan."
"One wild carp from the lake in Xishan Manor's restaurant will sell for at least seventy to eighty yuan per pound. A person staying a day at Xishan Manor and eating two als, how much do you think that costs at least?"
Zhou Qun said, surprised, "So you an a person staying at Xishan Manor for a day, including eating, drinking, and entertainnt, would cost at least a few thousand yuan."
"Wow, that's incredible. If a hundred people stay simultaneously, then the inco for one day would be several hundred thousand yuan. That's really much better than fishing," Zhou Qun exclaid loudly.
Ling Zhenfei quickly cald Zhou Qun down, saying, "The calculations are not made like this. The tourism aspect drives all-around benefits, not just the visible money. Anyway, you wouldn't understand completely now, but you will in the future."
