Chapter 245 Overseas Building Middle Building.
This is one of Wu Youwei's few secrets.
In fact, it is not, but people living in modern times have this kind of problem to some extent. Because they meet more people, they can't remember more acquaintances, and as time goes by, they become a little face-blind.
It becomes more serious when you are 50 years old.
Therefore, the elderly generally do not like to move when they live in one place.
As for Wu Youwei, it was because he had seen many students...he didn't go out to socialize much in the Ming Dynasty, and he was familiar with Zhang Sheng and the others because they came to help him when he first came.
Otherwise, I still can't remember it, and occasionally I have to look through the memory of the original owner.
Although it is said that drinking the spirit water has improved memory, but it is not known whether that thing can cure prosopagnosia.
"Is there still this kind of disease?" After everyone was stunned, Zhou Ying was the first to react. He slapped the table and laughed loudly: "No wonder, no wonder you didn't care when you first saw me. I thought you were generous!"
In fact, when he was in Qunfang Pavilion, Wu Youwei met him, just a quick glance, but he remembered Wu Youwei, Wu Youwei didn't remember him!
After everyone laughed, the atmosphere improved a lot. The others were also the second young master of this family and the young master of that family.
Wu Youwei noticed that, except for the prince who came from Duke Wei's mansion, none of these people had the qualifications to inherit.
It is estimated that the British Duke may not have thought that his son would die early, because the current son is still the eldest son Zhang Rui, but he sent his own son instead of himself?
Or is it that Zhang Rui, the son of the Duke of England, is gone now?
Wu Youwei was not clear about this question.
He planned to ask Wantong when he went back.
Or Shang Ming is also fine, but I still think it is better to ask Wantong.
After getting to know each other, these people called Wu Youwei "Master Wu", and Wu Youwei also called them "Master".
This is better.
You respect me, and I respect you.
You respect me one foot, and I will return you one foot.
But after they got to know each other, everyone looked at Wu Youwei, and Wu Youwei said generously, "I think we don't sit together to eat, if we want to eat some delicious food, we go home and eat it. "
The smiles of the four waiters standing at the door faded a bit...
Wu Youwei pointed to the things he had brought, Xiao Xiao immediately stepped forward, and lifted the silk, revealing the paper inside.
On the rice paper as big as the desktop, there are a few words written: the first business negotiation.
Everyone...!! ! "
"Okay, since we have the same aspirations, this first business negotiation officially begins." Wu Youwei stood up, and Xiaoxiao handed him a pointer made of camphor wood.
Then opened the second page: the establishment of a hotel chain.
"We need to set up a hotel chain, which is an inn where people buy, sell, eat and drink, and the back is a quiet courtyard where people can stay.
Everyone looked at each other.
The second page was turned over, and there were only two words on the third page: naming.
"What's it called?" Wu Youwei asked them, "Have you thought about the name of the store yet?"
This is good!
The crowd began to participate in the chatter: "Gao Tie Lou?"
"Zhenwei Building?"
"Mei Shan Zhai?"
"It's not a monk's temple. What kind of food is it called?"
"Slim little building?"
"It sounds like a Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.
Several people quarreled, and after a long time of excitement, Wu Youwei patted the table with the pointer: "One person chooses a name, and then votes to decide, whoever has the most votes will use his name.
Xiao Xiao hurriedly gave each person a pen and a piece of paper.
Several people wrote it, and even Shang Ming wrote a name he thought was good.
Wu Youwei also wrote a name he thought was good: Foreign-related Hotel.
After finishing writing, Wu Youwei said: "Please tell me the meaning of the name first.
Everyone didn't expect this section to exist.
Xu Kuibi said: "Zhenweilou, the meaning of cherishing, because these things are said to come from overseas?"
"Yes, they are overseas crops." Wu Youwei said: "In fact, these things are everywhere overseas, but in the Central Plains, I, Ming, are indeed the only ones."
"That's good, the ones you haven't seen are the delicacies." That's what Xu Kuibi meant.
"Okay, then, those who agree, please raise your hand." Wu Youwei asked.
As a result, everyone... didn't raise their hands.
"Okay, only the eldest son, Zhenweilou, one vote." Wu Youwei wrote the words "Zhenweilou" on the top, and drew a vertical line below.
Eunuch Shang has the most impressive name, Taotielou.
But there are two people who agree, Xu Kuibi and Zhang Lun
There is also a very long name called "Overseas Building Zhonglou". Wu Youwei actually voted for this name. Although it is a bit long, it sounds very nice and special enough to make people remember it.
There is also one called "Piaoxiangyuan", which was ridiculed as "Qinlou Chuguan".
When it came to Wu Youwei, Wu Youwei explained it like this: "Foreign affairs are not simply meals made from overseas crops, but also food from various countries, such as North Korea, Nan'an, Vietnam..." Wu Youwei pointed to himself He gave the name and said: "Even when foreigners come to our Daming, they will stay in our foreign-related hotels..." What he wants to open is a window so that people in Daming can see the outside world.Making money externally is always better than internally.
Foreign exchange never loses money to the country.
Everyone was stunned, including Shang Ming, who did not expect that Wu Youwei would have such a grand prospect in just a few days.
"Of course, foreign-related hotels are a prospect for the future. What do you think?" Wu Youwei said with a smile, "If possible, let's make a plan."
In the end, Wu Youwei's "Foreign Hotel" won the naming right, and the second one that was confirmed was the name of "Overseas Building".
The "overseas building in the middle of the building" will be established in Beijing now, and the design of the Chinese character "Hui" fits the name very well.
Wu Youwei single-handedly formed the "Foreign-Related Group". The first project under the group's name was the restaurant chain of Overseas Buildings.
Of course, the first overseas building was born in Beijing.
After talking about the naming rights, let's talk about the dishes of the restaurant. The chef was found by Mr. Shang Ming, who is absolutely reliable and has his own kitchen staff.
Use the recipe written by Mr. Shang Ming as the main dish.
The supply is Huangzhuang, and no one dares to argue about this.
The purchase price is naturally determined by Mr. Shangming, but this is his own business, Mr. Shang's supply cannot be too high....
The rest belonged to the shopkeeper, which was set up by Zhou Ying.
Then, Wu Youwei introduced 'Xiaoxiao' to them: "Don't underestimate my god-brother, I'm very skilled, I guarantee that you can see clearly the future accounts.
Xiaoxiao had practiced beforehand, opened a new sheet of paper, all of which were pages based on the new bookkeeping method, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please take a look..."
The new bookkeeping method is very convenient. Although there are dudes here, they are just dudes and not stupid.
This method can completely change the existing bookkeeping method, and prevent corruption caused by unclear accounts. It is used in restaurants, but what about the household department?
Although they are not officials, they know how many people below are corrupt officials!
Especially the manipulation of "Arabic numerals" and "addition, subtraction, multiplication and division" can basically be understood by anyone with a little knowledge of mathematics.
Then everyone felt that Xiao Xiao was really talented!
Shang Ming even pulled Wu Youwei and whispered: "You have such a method, why didn't you say it earlier?"
"Have you already had it?" Wu Youwei said in amazement: "The accounts of Mo Ling Villa are all like this. How well do you think Lin Su manages it? The family's accounts are cleared every day and every month. Just sum it up at the end of the year."
Shang Ming knew about Wu Youwei, and the normal operation of Moring Villa was thanks to Butler Lin Su, who was also a talent, but it was a pity that he was a butler, if he was an official, he might be able to manage a county well.
I didn't expect that Moling Villa had been managed with this set of things long ago. No wonder Wu Youwei never looked at the ledger... No wonder Butler Lin Su was so loyal. This method completely eliminated corruption.
Everyone thinks it's okay to be small, and even Zhou Ying said: "The business will expand in the future, this is our general accountant!"
At this time, we can see the quality of the employees in Taibailou. At the end, they served the food!
The first ones served were naturally cold dishes, because it was snowing and freezing outside, so the first ones served were sauced pork head, crystal elbow, smoked dried tofu rolls and side dishes.
In this season, there are green vegetables in Taibailou, so this cold dish is especially authentic.
"Let's eat first." Zhou Ying rubbed his belly: "Just listening to what Master Wu said, I didn't even know I was hungry.
"It's not just you? We were also fascinated by it." Several dandies all rubbed their bellies.
It was only at this time that I realized that my stomach was already growling.
Xu Kuibi smiled and said, "It's all the same, it's all the same."
He was also fascinated by what he heard, mainly because of the few of them, each had their own reasons, the family either didn't pay attention to it, or couldn't take the lead, and after more than ten years of doing this in a daze, suddenly you are asked to do a serious thing, you are also excited!
They are still immersed in the business blueprint described by Wu Youwei just now, which can not only promote overseas crops, but also benefit the country and the people.
Make a little money by the way.
Now they own the shares, they are their own bosses, and they are responsible for their own profits and losses.
It has nothing to do with the family, it will be their own shares after the family is divided, and it will not be included in the family property.
It's not private property either, it's the common property of the eight people they're sitting at
During the meal, Wu Youwei didn't let anyone drink. After the meal, several people continued the meeting.
After getting the name and design, the outline of the restaurant was established, and Wu Youwei drew up a contract.
It is still very useful to study the laws of Ming Dynasty: he followed the practice of later generations and drew up a very comprehensive contract.
The first is that the shares cannot be resold or donated.
For example, donating to relatives and friends, etc. Once reselling or donating, not only the shares will be taken back, but also the share money will be confiscated.
Shares are counted according to how much each person contributes.
As a result, everyone here is rich, and each person paid 3000 taels...gold.
This is the origin of the "eight people and three thousand pieces of gold" in later generations...
"Can't resell or donate?" When they saw the first item, everyone was taken aback.
"This is to prevent some people from being jealous after the business is completed." Wu Youwei said: "This is our own business, and we don't want to get involved with you."
The meaning of this is obvious, and it has nothing to do with those people in your house. It saves too many people and troubles. When you get rich in the future, if the family members say a word, this business will be tied to someone in your family.
Especially for the few present here today, only two of them, Wu Youwei, can be sure to inherit the Duke's Mansion, and the others...don't have that much power.
They can rely on their parents now, and when their parents are gone, they should be separated from the mansion.
At that time, this industry will also allow them to eat and drink without worry.
But if you don't write it down, when you make money, the heirs of the family will fall in love with it and want to take it, it will be miserable.
It's okay for you to do business with a few dudes, and if you unite with a few honorable families, then the emperor should be afraid.
Obviously, Shang Ming thought of this: "That's right, as a witness of our family, these things can only be owned by oneself, even if they are to be passed on, it is your son who will take over, not someone else's son, understand Is it?"
How can these people not understand?
"That's right, I, Xu Kuibi, was the first to agree to this matter." Xu Kuibi is the only son, and Wei Guogong's house does not involve any brothers fighting for power, but other people's families are different!
Especially Zhang Lun, his father is not in good health, and he is too young to be the head of the family. There is a strong grandfather protecting him, and he can't stand the various calculations of the uncles and cousins below...
If the title is not inherited by direct lineage, it can be inherited from the concubine, which gives the concubine's children a...
"I, Zhang Lun, also agree!" Zhang Lun added: "And I think it should be written: no heirs will inherit, the shares will be withdrawn, and the principal will be donated directly."
