Chapter 268: Truly Talented!
Yuan Bao glared at his little uncle, who was consulting him, making a thoughtful expression.
She was born with innate wisdom, and though young, she possessed a mind unmatched by adults. Yet even so, conjuring a solution for this particular issue remained quite challenging.
After all, this was a matter meant to be pondered by the head of the family.
"Jiaojiao, got any ideas?"
Seeing Yuan Bao remain silent, Yuan Yindi started talking to herself, "I’m thinking, our family could open a food shop. Food is the mainstay of life, as long as the taste isn’t bad, it should basically never lose money."
"However, with a food shop, if there’s no distinctive feature, the profits will be minor."
"Additionally, we can’t attract those skilled master chefs."
"And those profitable businesses have long been divvied up by others. If our family enters now, it’s akin to fighting for scraps, way too tough!"
Yuan Yindi’s considerations were indeed spot on.
Profitable businesses exist, yet these have already been claimed, and these people come from significant backgrounds. Though the Yuan Family can be considered newly wealthy, they mean nothing to those established aristocrats and local affluent families.
"Little Uncle, then let’s pursue the food business!"
Yuan Bao thought it over and gave her response, "If we can’t attract those great master chefs, let’s switch up the approach!"
"Switch to what approach?"
Yuan Yindi immediately turned his attention to Yuan Bao, eager to hear what good ideas she might have.
"If we can’t make gourmet food, let’s make ordinary, everyday meals. Not everyone in this city is wealthy, we could try in that direction!"
"Hmm... Let me think it over!"
Yuan Yindi, upon hearing Yuan Bao’s words, felt his mood lift instantly.
High-end clients have grand hotels to host them, but what about the common folk?
"Jiaojiao, you truly are the treasure of our family!"
Yuan Yindi thought for just a while, and already had a rough plan in mind.
Others earn money from the wealthy, he could earn from the ordinary folks. Although each person might spend less, when more people come for meals, the earnings wouldn’t be small either.
This has to be carefully calculated!
Yuan Yindi, having gained insight from Yuan Bao, hurriedly went out.
Yuan Bao didn’t need to say much; Yuan Yindi had already grasped the concept of small profits with big turnover. As for how to execute it specifically, that was Yuan Yindi’s own affair.
After conversing with her little uncle, Yuan Bao tossed the matter behind her.
Even though she had ideas, she actually found such thoughts quite bothersome.
Within just a few days, eighteen food shops sprouted across the six cities in Neishi County, all situated in areas frequented by laborers who exert great physical effort.
Simple home-cooked dishes, good and cheap, and importantly, filling.
As soon as the eighteen shops launched, the business was remarkably bustling.
For merely three to five cents, anyone could eat to their heart’s content. Though the food’s taste wasn’t exceptional, a free bone broth was available, providing that hint of meatiness.
Naturally, some generously spent ten to twenty cents on a meal.
Although not comparable to those upscale hotels and big restaurants, the sheer volume of customer flow was astonishing.
When Yuan Bao went to see the situation, she discovered her little uncle’s so-called Yuan Family discount shop was run like a canteen.
"Such talent!"
After observing the state of her family’s food shop, Yuan Bao was genuinely impressed by her little uncle’s methods.
