I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Chapter 282: First Discussion on Food Franchise

"Your Highness, this thing is called a solar lamp. It can be basked in the sun during the day and illuminated at night. It is very convenient. Its brightness is incomparable to that of a candle." Gu Dajiang explained.

King Li tightened his hand around the box, "Is this for me?"

"That's right, Your Highness, please don't despise me." Gu Dajiang said modestly.

"It is so precious, how could this king despise it! This thing is so dear to me, so I will accept it with audacity.

I will think of a good couplet when I go back, and have someone send it to me when I open the business." Prince Li said after thinking it over.

The Gu family seemed to have no shortage of gold and silver, and they had an endless supply of rare items. As a prince, all I could do for them was to give the Gu family enough respect within my jurisdiction.

With the couplet written by the prince himself, it can also have a deterrent effect on the Xiao people in the county.

The reason why I didn’t directly say that I was giving a plaque was because of the unique plaque of Gu’s Grain Shop.

Nowadays, the value of the few sculptures of Peach Blossom Mountain Lord that have been released has already doubled, and they are now hard to find on the market at a price of a fortune.

But the Gu family knows Taohuashan Jun, so I think they will ask him to carve the plaque.

King Li thought so and decided not to do such a thankless task.

When Gu Dajiang heard what King Li said, he understood that King Li wanted to help them save face.

After bowing hurriedly, he said with a happy face: "In that case, thank you very much for the gift of calligraphy, Your Majesty."

King Li waved his hand, indicating that Gu Dajiang didn't need to be so polite.

I also asked Gu Dajiang to teach me how to use this lamp, how long to expose the sun, the method of exposure to the sun, and what precautions to take when using it.

Gu Dajiang patiently answered them one by one.

King Li learned everything, and then happily left the shopping mall with his followers.

He returned to the palace and continued to study his lamp.

The news that King Li had moved into the shopping mall spread rapidly throughout Zesheng County.

All of a sudden, more and more merchants came rushing to the scene after hearing the news.

Those merchants who had been approached by Gu Dajiang and had already settled in were all very fortunate and grateful in their hearts for the introduction of the two shopkeepers, Xu and Cheng.

Gu Dajiang had already looked for all the companies he needed to look for, and selected a few of them, and politely declined the others.

Although he declined to allow everyone to enter the shopping mall, these visitors would allow Gu Dajiang to implement his second plan.

After the mall opens, there will inevitably be a large flow of people. Having only one shopping mall and a few snack shops upstairs will probably not be able to satisfy the dining needs of people in the shopping mall.

Therefore, Gu Dajiang had already made plans in advance.

That is, if the shop owners nearby are willing to open restaurants, their Gu family can provide free training.

At that time, the Gu family will also take a 10% commission from the profits earned from the operation.

So, Gu Dajiang said to the people who came to inquire, "I'm really sorry, you are late! Most of these shops have been occupied.

If you are still interested, you can pay attention to our shop on the day when the goods are put into stock.

If someone withdraws, I will notify you and it will be first come first served."

When everyone heard this, they all expressed regret and secretly blamed themselves for being out of touch with the news and arriving late.

Those who rejected Gu Dajiang regretted it so much.

Gu Dajiang listened to the people's regrets, and when everyone calmed down, he asked, "Although the shop cannot be occupied for the time being, I have another business here, and I would like to discuss it with you. I wonder if you are interested."

Although everyone felt sorry that they couldn't get a share of the pie, they couldn't do anything about it. After all, the Gu family was backed by King Li. Who in Zesheng County had a bigger background than his family?

But after hearing what Gu Dajiang said, everyone's hope was rekindled, and they rushed to shout, "We are interested, we are interested!"

"Boss Gu, what's your business?"

"Yes, Mr. Gu, please stop keeping us in suspense."

"Okay, everyone please follow me. Let's talk inside." Gu Dajiang made a gesture of invitation, inviting everyone to go into the shopping mall.

Under the guidance of the smart butler, everyone entered the shopping mall in an orderly manner.

Everyone was shocked to see the clean and bright windows, spacious and tall buildings, and numerous shops inside.

But they don’t know how the Gujia shopping mall is actually operated.

Seeing these, I was just curious and shocked, and couldn't imagine how the Gu family would run its business.

After Gu Dajiang came in, he first went onto the small stage in the hall.

This stage was also a performance stage reserved by Gu Dajiang based on the settings of modern shopping malls.

Occasionally, actors can be invited to sing, and if there are students, poetry readings can be held here.

Although today's students do not have this habit, habits can be cultivated.

Gu Dajiang stepped onto the stage at this time, bowed to the audience and said: "Thank you all for your kindness to my Gu family. My Gu family has just arrived in Zesheng County to do business, and we still need to rely on your care."

"Manager Gu, you are too polite!"

"I hope Manager Gu can take good care of us!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Haha, we are all colleagues, so the best strategy is to take care of each other and achieve win-win cooperation.

I believe everyone has seen the scale of our Gujia Shopping Center.

If it opens at that time, there will definitely be a lot of people coming and going, and there will always be people who want to stay for dinner and continue shopping.

But we only have a few small restaurants upstairs, and I’m afraid they can’t provide food for so many people.

And those who work here also need a place to eat.

In order to make it convenient for customers who come to shop, we, Gujia, are willing to share some of our unique dietary recipes and sincerely invite colleagues to join us.

If you are interested in the food industry, we can provide recipes and people to teach until you learn it.

You can run your business nearby, or go to other places.

However, I, the Gu family, cannot give away this recipe for free. We will take 10% of the monthly profit.

If you are interested and can accept this condition, you can find my housekeeper Zhiling to sign up, and we will discuss the specific recipe in detail later."

As soon as Gu Dajiang finished speaking, everyone below was instantly in an uproar.

There was a lot of discussion and noise, and the scene was very lively for a while. The voices echoed in the empty hall, making the whole scene even more noisy.

"Manager Gu, if I am not originally in the catering business, but want to start a catering business now, is that possible?" a manager in the crowd asked.

"Manager Gu, could you first show us what kind of food it is? Can it support a store?" another person asked.

"Manager Gu, if so many of us are engaged in catering, how can we operate the business for a long time with so much competition?"

……

Everyone threw question after question at Gu Dajiang.
