C117 It's Not as Simple as You Think
Zhou Hao, on the other hand, said with a faint smile. "Actually, the fast food restaurant is not as simple as you think. "
With the current situation, just a branch in Mrs Zhou's Restaurant alone would have a profit of 1. 5 million to 2 million annually, and the profit of "romantic full house" was not much different.
Especially when Zhou Hao asked Yan Tong and Lu Shiping to introduce all kinds of festivals and theme cakes, they were very popular.
Zhou Lichang, on the other hand, operated the hardware building materials, and could at most earn two million a year. It could only be compared to a branch in Mrs Zhou's Restaurant.
However, Zhou Lichang and his wife did not pay much attention to it. How could they expect that Mrs Zhou's Restaurant had almost monopolized the fast food market in Xiang City?
Therefore, Xu Yongwei only thought that Zhou Hao's words were just because of his pride and stubbornness.
She smiled and said: "Of course it's not simple. I have to go to the market to bargain with those who buy chickens and ducks. I also have to worry about the owners increasing the rent. The business of fast food is indeed not simple. "
"We don't have to pay the rent. We just bought the shop directly. " Zhou Hao smiled and said.
He bought all the branches in Mrs Zhou's Restaurant and "Romance House. "
Zhou Hao knew that the value of those places would greatly increase with the development of Xiang City in the future. This way, it would not be so troublesome to hand over the rent every year.
"Oh, that's quite impressive. What kind of 'wife' is your family?
They should be able to earn a few thousand dollars a month. It's much better than Ah Tong, you used to help people sweep the floor and wash the dishes. " Xu Yongwei laughed disdainfully.
"It is Mrs Zhou's Restaurant. " Zhou Hao smiled and corrected her.
Xu Yongwei wanted to say something, but she heard a man on the sofa exclaim.
"What? Mrs Zhou's Restaurant? The Mrs Zhou's Restaurant was opened by you? " This man was a friend of Zhou Lichang in business.
Zhou Lichang and Xu Yongwei looked at him doubtfully. Zhou Lichang said, "Brother Chai, do you know that shop?"
"Of course I know. " The person Zhou Lichang called Brother Chai stood up from the sofa.
At this moment, he saw Zhou Hao's face and his expression immediately changed. "You, you are Zhou. . . Mr Zhou?"
This time, Zhou Hao also felt strange. He asked Brother Chai, "You know me?"
"Haha, Mr Zhou, have you forgotten about me?
Boss Huo and I had dinner with you before. But I'm sure Mr Zhou doesn't have any impression of a small figure like me. " Brother Chai smiled humbly.
"Boss Huo?" Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment and quickly understood. "Oh, it's that Huo Liang. "
Huo Liang was the owner of the hardware store that Zhou Hao met when he opened the first Mrs Zhou's Restaurant. At that time, the two of them even had a fight because of old grudges.
However, after knowing that Zhou Hao had a close relationship with the director of the Public Security Bureau, Situ Li, Huo Liang immediately surrendered. Not only did he give the store to Zhou Hao for free, he also gave Zhou Hao an extra 100,000 yuan as compensation.
Huo Liang was working on that street, and he was looking after the Mrs Zhou's Restaurant in the open and in the dark. He didn't want the gangsters to cause trouble inside.
Later, Huo Liang found out that even the boss of the underworld of Xiang City, Wen Xiangdong, greeted Zhou Hao with a smile on his face. He became even more respectful towards Zhou Hao.
In order to thank him for taking care of the Mrs Zhou's Restaurant, Zhou Hao had treated him to a meal several times, which made Huo Liang very flattered.
And this Brother Chai was one of Huo Liang's subordinates. He was also a gangster.
When Zhou Lichang heard Zhou Hao's words, he also revealed a shocked expression. "Xiao Hao, you know Boss Huo?"
Because Huo Liang had a wide range of people in Xiang City, and he had started his business by selling hardware, Zhou Lichang also had a lot of business dealings with him.
Also, because Huo Liang had a background in the underworld, Zhou Lichang respected him very much.
When he heard Zhou Hao call Huo Liang "that guy," Zhou Lichang was shocked.
At this moment, Brother Chai said again, "Aiya, I really didn't expect this. So Mr Zhou is Old Zhou's nephew.
You don't know, there are only eight shops in the Mrs Zhou's Restaurant in our Xiang City, and each shop has a very good business.
In total, I'm afraid there will be tens of millions of income in a year. Also, Mr Zhou is a good friend of our Boss Huo. Our Boss often says that Mr Zhou is a young hero. "
After hearing Brother Chai's words, Zhou Lichang and Xu Yongwei widened their eyes. They never thought that the fast food restaurant, which they thought only had a few thousand dollars a month, would earn ten million a year.
What surprised them the most was that Zhou Hao seemed to have a good relationship with Huo Liang.
"Oh, right. Where's Huo Liang? I haven't seen him in a while. " Zhou Hao asked Brother Chai.
"Oh, my boss went to visit Master Dong today.
Oh, right, Mr Zhou. When we saw Master Dong earlier, he was still talking about you to our boss. He said that you haven't been to Emotion City for a long time. " Brother Chai said with a smile.
The "Master Dong" he was talking about was Wen Xiangdong.
Zhou Lichang naturally knew about "Master Dong," but he didn't expect it. Zhou Hao actually knew someone like Wen Xiangdong.
"He's just joking. How could he really wish for me to come to Emotion City? Isn't he afraid of losing all his money to me?" Zhou Hao said with a faint smile.
Brother Chai immediately greeted him, "That's right, that's right. Now, everyone on the street knows that you are an outstanding gambler. Our boss even said that you are the Gamble God of Xiang City. "
Yan Tong, who was standing beside him, said, "Xiao Hao, you are gambling?"
Because Zhou Hao's father, Zhou Liren, was a gambler, and he had even lost all the money in the family, Yan Tong hated gambling very much.
"Don't worry, Mom. I know what to do. I am not a real gambler. " Zhou Hao smiled at Yan Tong.
"Anyway, gambling is not good. " Yan Tong shook her head and said.
But she also knew that her son was very independent. He was not the kind of person who would gamble until he went bankrupt. Regarding this, she was still very assured.
Zhou Lichang and Xu Yongwei were completely stunned. A person like Wen Xiangdong couldn't even be recruited by Zhou Lichang. Now, it seemed like Zhou Hao had quite a good relationship with these "big shots. "
"Xiao Hao, I am a little anxious. I want to go to the toilet. " Yan Tong said at this time.
Xu Yongwei saw the situation quickly and immediately said, "The restroom is over there. I will bring you there. "
At this time, Brother Chai also said to Zhou Hao, "Mr Zhou, let's play Hoe the Great Land over there. Let's go together. "
"Aren't you afraid of losing all your money to me?" Zhou Hao smiled.
"If it was Mr Zhou, it would be worth it for me to lose all my money. " Brother Chai immediately said. He pushed Zhou Hao into the gambling house.
He turned around and whispered to Zhou Lichang: "Old Zhou, this is your fault. Why didn't you tell your brother that you have such a big backer?"
"I. . . I. . . " Zhou Lichang said, "Brother Chai, does Xiao Hao really know Boss Huo and Master Dong?"
"He doesn't just know them. Let me tell you, in fact, our boss and Master Dong are trying to please your nephew. They are just afraid that he won't give them face. " Brother Chai said.
"Also, not only our boss and Master Dong, your nephew is very close to Director Situ and Mayor Gao from the Public Security Bureau.
I also heard that when the Japanese came to our Xiang City, your nephew went with Mayor Gao and the others. Think about his relationship with Mayor Gao and the others? "
Zhou Lichang was stunned when he heard this. He never expected Zhou Hao to know so many big shots that he could not get in touch with.
"I say, you have such a nephew. Do you need to look for people to do business with? Remember, don't forget me when you get rich in the future. " Brother Chai said.
Zhou Lichang frowned. He knew how his family used to treat his mother and son.
It was already fortunate that Zhou Hao didn't set up any obstacles for him to step on. How could he expect Zhou Hao to help him?
At this moment, Brother Chai had already walked over to play cards with Zhou Hao.
Looking at Zhou Hao's back and Brother Chai who was trying to please him, Zhou Lichang gritted his teeth and also walked over. He said to Zhou Hao and the others: "Add me, I want to play too. "
Brother Chai said to another man who was doing fruit wholesale business at the table, "Since Mr Zhou is here.
Let's play bigger. Three thousand dollars as the base. One thousand dollars for one card. How about it? "
"But I didn't bring that much cash. " Zhou Hao pretended to be troubled.
Brother Chai quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. Do we still not trust you, Mr Zhou? How about this? I'll pay for Mr Zhou first. "
Thus, the four of them started the bet.
"Square Three will go first. " Brother Chai said.
"Here it comes, 3-4, 5-6, 7-0. " The man who made the fruit wholesale put up the cards with a smile.
Zhou Lichang looked at the three Js in his hands. When he saw Zhou Hao and Brother Chai looking at him, he said: "I haven't, ever. "
Zhou Hao smiled and said, "I haven't, either. "
"Then I won't be polite. " Brother Chai took out five cards. They were the same flowers of the peach.
"Hehehe, my luck is very good on this plate. " The fruit seller smiled and put down another five cards. It was three cards, five cards, and six cards.
Zhou Lichang held back his urge to play his three cards. As Zhou Hao's superior, he was afraid that if he showed his cards, Zhou Hao would be blocked.
Zhou Hao smiled and said: "I can't let you go this time, three Js nine. " After saying that, he showed the five cards.
Brother Chai and the fruit seller both expressed that they gave up, but Zhou Lichang still held his three bars and did not show them. He smiled and said, "I don't have one either. "
"You don't have the three Js either, right?" Zhou Hao showed five more cards.
Zhou Lichang and the other two shook their heads. Zhou Hao smiled and showed them the two biggest cards. There was also the Plum Blossom 3, but he didn't have any cards left.
"Wow, Old Zhou, you have four times the number. " Brother Chai looked at the complete thirteen cards in Zhou Lichang's hands.
If he calculated it this way, Zhou Lichang would lose tens of thousands of dollars just from this round.
"It's alright. Anyway, Xiao Hao is my family. It doesn't matter if he loses to them. " Zhou Lichang said with a smile.
Zhou Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Lichang with a smile on his face. With his super strong intuition, he naturally knew that Zhou Lichang had purposely lost to him.
