Chapter three hundred and thirteenth investigation wine shop
In the next two days, Zhang Ran went to the workshop garden to handle official duties as usual during the day, inspected the construction progress of the security team and various workshops. After returning home in the evening, he sorted out and recorded the specific methods and details of the field service method into a book according to his memory and his own understanding. He was extremely busy every day.
At the same time, King Wuqiu Shou on the other side was not idle either. He activated his own connections the day after the banquet, and according to Zhang Ran's description and request, he found a suitable shop in Chang'an City and negotiated many matters about buying a store.
In just two days, King Wuqiu Shou bought a suitable store from a wealthy merchant in Weibei at a price lower than the market price. He used his own connections to quickly open up the joints and obtained the land deed from Jingzhao Yin, which was far faster than Zhang Ran imagined.
The shop bought by King Wuqiu Shou is located near Hengmen Street, the most prosperous and most crowded East City, which is located in Chang'an. It is across the street from Xishi in the west and adjacent to Dijiaque in the south and north. It is one of the best prime locations in Chang'an City and most suitable for opening a store.
The house prices here are extremely high, and every inch of land is valuable, and there is no market. The shop purchased by Wuqiu Shouwang is only three parts of the land (about 200 square meters), which costs 150 gold!
At this point, King Qiu Shou spent a lot of time to understand his feelings and influence him, and even borrowed Dong Zhongshu's name to barely buy the shop from the rich merchant.
This shows how difficult it is to buy a shop in Chang'an and open a restaurant or shop! It is really hard to move without some family background or connections.
After receiving the land deed, Zhang Ran immediately expressed his sincere thanks to King Qiu Shou, and then took advantage of the holiday to return to Zhangli and invited Zhang Erniu and Zhang Meng and his son to Chang'an from Zhangli.
After welcoming the relatives and friends of the two hometowns, early the next morning, Zhang Ran, along with Zhang Meng and his son and Wuqiu Shouwang, took a bus to the store purchased by Wuqiu Shouwang and conducted an on-site inspection!
......
"Squeak ~"
The carriage drove along the spacious street of Hengmen Street. After walking for less than half an hour, it stopped in front of a crowded tavern.
After getting off the car, Zhang Ran stopped in front of the restaurant, looked around, and secretly observed... Looking at the endless crowds of people around and the endless traffic, Zhang Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said secretly: "There are many people, but it's quite lively! It seems that King Wuqiu Shou has not chosen the wrong place!"
Then, Zhang Ranyou looked at the tall tavern in front of him and was surprised to find that although the storefront of the tavern was not very large, it occupied a large area. Compared with other shops around, it was not only more than twice the area, but also stood out from the crowd, far higher than other shops.
Yes, this winery is not an ordinary shop. It is a quite tall heavy house (two-story wooden building), and the decoration is also very luxurious, far more grand than the Zhangji Restaurant in Xinfeng County, Zhang Erniu!
On the surface, with the size of this tavern, the other party asked for 150 gold, which was really a waste of time!
"Brother Ran, don't be standing there! Let's go and take a look inside!"
"Okay! I'm sorry, Brother Zigan!"
After hearing this, Zhang Ran smiled slightly and hugged his fists. Then, under the guidance of King Wuqiu Shou, he took Zhang Meng and his son to the restaurant.
After entering, Zhang Ran carefully observed and found that the lobby of the wine shop was also very spacious, with twenty or thirty cases placed in the hall. In terms of the size of this lobby, just the lower floor is enough to accommodate hundreds of people drinking or eating at the same time.
After seeing Zhang Ran enter the door, he began to observe the situation of the wine shop with an scrutiny. King Wuqiu Shou couldn't help but quickly introduce Zhang Ran: "Brother Ran, this shop was originally a wine shop. As far as I know, the wine shop originally sold some meat, bait cakes and other foods in addition to selling wine... In the past, I had come here occasionally with friends to drink. The wine shop is pretty good and the business is pretty good!"
"Well~" Zhang Ran couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard this. In fact, if you don't need to introduce Wuqiu Shouwang, Zhang Ran probably guessed that the business of this restaurant should be good... After all, with the population size of Chang'an City and the superior geographical location here, the original owner didn't need to be too good at it. He just needed to understand some business methods, and the business would not be too bad!
After the explanation of King Wuqiu Shou and Zhang Ran’s own personal observation, Zhang Ran had a relatively full understanding of the situation of the wine shop in front of him.
In short, this winery is large in scale, very good location, and has a dense crowd around it, making it very suitable for operating winery and restaurants and other service industries.
Therefore, it is definitely a great value for money to buy this tavern for 150 gold, far exceeding Zhang Ran’s original expectations!
Thanks to King Wuqiu Shou's outstanding abilities and his deep connections in Chang'an City, otherwise it would be difficult to find a place with such a superior position and in line with his own expectations based on Zhang Ran's own abilities alone.
Of course, this winery is not so perfect, and there are many shortcomings. For example, the winery's facilities are relatively old, the lighting is not good, the lobby is very cold, and there are many other problems.
Especially after a careful inspection, Zhang Ran found that this winery was too ordinary or too regular! Compared with other wineries or restaurants around, the winery was almost the same as his appearance, both in terms of the layout and the furnishings in the lobby. It was basically nothing eye-catching and had no competitiveness. The only advantage was that the location was better.
Therefore, after a while of patrol, Zhang Ran immediately decided to carry out a comprehensive transformation of the restaurant first!
So, after Zhang Ran pondered for a long time, based on actual conditions and combined with the experience of later generations, Zhang Ran re-planned the restaurant according to local conditions.
In order to convince everyone to agree with their transformation plan, Zhang Ran took the initiative to speak to Zhang Meng and Wuqiu Shouwang around him, "Brother Zi Gan, uncle! I think everyone should know that the wine shop we are going to build is based on our newly developed cooking technology as the core and main selling point!
Therefore, its business method is naturally different from traditional wine shops or restaurants in the past. We must highlight our advantages and selling points!
