Chapter 1318: Joint Venture
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Long before, Xia Xibei had the idea to open a restaurant.
Although she could do disguises and walk freely everywhere, it would be good to have a hidden place.
After all, she was now a star and had many celebrity friends.
It would be easy for them to make headlines if they went out together.
So, every time they went out, they would choose places that were more secluded, but these places were not available everywhere.
So, Xia Xibei wanted to open one herself.
However, she couldn’t find the right chef for a while.
Now, Zhuang Xiao’ai has appeared!
Zhuang Xiao’ai was not very old, but she was really good at cooking, better than many experienced chefs.
Moreover, her learning ability was also very good.
She had lived in the imperial capital and other places before, and hadn’t been to G City yet.
She had only been in G City for a few days and had already learned quite a few classic dishes here.
Such a learning ability was simply convincing! She was born to be a chef!
Moreover, Zhuang Xiao’ai was short on money right now!
So, she was very good to work with.
Once the chef was found, the rest was easy.
Xia Xibei could provide the location.
The customers were there, and Xia Xibei could bring them.
She had so many friends in her circle. If people knew there was good food here and they didn’t have to worry about the paparazzi, who wouldn’t come?
So, the clientele was not an issue.
As for the funding, there was even less to worry about.
Xia Xibei didn’t plan to do it alone, but chose to work with others.
Tang Luo had a lot of money on hand, so she could invest.
Song Jiaren also had a lot of money.
Jiabei Sweet had now opened many branches and was doing well, and they had launched many more new products.
Once the main products of Jiabei Sweet were settled, Xia Xibei retired and left everything else to Song Jiaren’s mother.
Song Jiaren would go to the store to help out whenever she was free and learn how to manage the store.
It could be said that Song Jiaren now had a lot of money on hand, so she had no money worries.
However, who would mind having more money?
This was clearly a profitable business, so who wouldn’t want to participate?
Very quickly, they had a joint investment plan.
The four of them worked in partnership, with Xia Xibei, Tang Luo, and Song Jiaren investing, while Zhuang Xiao’ai and her grandmother were responsible for the management of the restaurant.
Zhuang Xiao’ai took the most shares, accounting for 40%, while the other three had 20% each.
Such a share ratio made Zhuang Xiao’ai panic. However, Xia Xibei wouldn’t let her refuse.
When the restaurant opened, it was Zhuang Xiao’ai who had to manage it, and as one could imagine, she was the one who put in the most effort, as the others were not available to manage it.
They were the ones who received the dividends, and it was enough to get this much.
Zhuang Xiao’ai’s eyes were red, and she knew that Xia Xibei was helping her.
If Xia Xibei wanted to open a restaurant, she could find many good cooks, so she didn’t need to give so much to her.
However, she did not continue to resist.
Xia Xibei was so kind to her, but she could repay it later.
As for working as Xia Xibei’s assistant, there was no way to do that too.
When the restaurant opened, Zhuang Xiao’ai would be too busy to be an assistant.
However, Xia Xibei was not worried. An assistant could still be found, but it was not easy to find a good chef to one’s liking.
They were all very efficient and determined to work together, acting immediately.
The funds were in place, the store was found and renovated, and the menu was set.
By the time Qiao Yanjue returned, the restaurant was about to open.
