Chapter 318 Linji Stadium

I glanced at Cheng Bao's loyalty and it was only eleven o'clock.

This value means that you may betray the inn at any time. Logically, Cheng Bao shouldn't have been released. Fortunately, he has given him a mutated golden armor snake inner elixir. Even if he wants to do something bad, he will definitely wait until he improves his strength.

When Cheng Bao took the mutant Golden Armor Snake inner elixir, if his loyalty is increasing, it means that there is no big problem. If it does not increase, it will not be too late to make any more decisions.

In terms of loyalty, it has long been Lin Dong's prediction, but Cheng Bao's various attributes, especially creativity, are far higher than his prediction. He is in a good mood. Looking at Cheng Bao with a fleshy face and a flickering fierce light, Lin Dong is more and more pleasing to the eyes. He can't help but smile and say, "Put your knife away, Ma Chun, you should know him. He is the inn manager. I will take you to arrange a residence. Then write down the recipe you know as soon as possible and count the materials you need. Try to take the job within three or five days."

Cheng Bao shook his head: "I can't buy the main material Qiufengcheng, but I have saved some, but it's only 180 kilograms. If the inn is good business, it will be out of stock in one day."

"What main material?" Lin Dong asked.

Cheng Bao explained: "Tianfeng pepper, a wild specialty of Kuitian County, is extremely spicy. If a Tianfeng pepper is stuffed directly into your stomach, it will be enough to make a person so spicy that even the locals dare not try it. Only I can weaken the spicy flavor. Therefore, if you want to collect it, you can only send someone to Wangshi County to pick it. Even if you whip it quickly, it should take two or three months."

Lin Dong frowned slightly and immediately felt relieved. As long as the business association was established, it would not have much impact on the inn after it was established, with the current strength of Lin Ji Inn, there is no restaurant that can be matched in Qiufeng City, and two or three months late is nothing.

In two or three months, the Linji Inn in Lingnan County was also built. If the business association’s affairs would not waste too much energy, it would just happen to be the opening of the new inn.

Thinking about it, Lin Dong couldn't help but push open the door and turned his head to look at Cheng Bao: "In terms of wages, ten taels of silver will be temporarily increased by a month. If it is not enough, you can pay it in advance. The amount is not limited. Of course, it depends on the situation. Like other chefs, you have three days off every month. If you have any other problems, write down everything and leave it to Ma Chun. He will cooperate with it with all of them. During the preparation stage, you can practice in the inn."

After a pause, Lin Dong continued, "Then I promised to help you enter the realm of a strong person before you are forty. After the Golden Armor Snake inner alchemy is completely refined, it should be enough for you to reach the end of the sixth level of the Mind Stage. After that, I will give you another spiritual beast and spiritual material according to your performance. The rest is your obligations. My requirements are not high, so don't cause trouble."

Cheng Bao said nothing, don’t cause trouble. For a bandit leader, this requirement is not high?

"Let's go" Lin Dong waved.

He took Cheng Bao to the front yard to find Ma Chun, and after a few words, Lin Dong returned to the back yard to practice.

The night was calm. When some silver-white light entered the room through the white paper window, Lin Dong opened his eyes, opened Cheng Bao's attributes and looked at it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Fifteen points of loyalty.

The speed was quite high after adding four o'clock overnight, which was undoubtedly the credit for the confirmation of the Golden Armor Snake's inner elixir. For Lin Dong, what is more important is that loyalty is indeed increasing. Low loyalty only means that this person is prone to having strange intentions, rather than indicating that he has strange intentions. When his loyalty is in the rising stage, the possibility of having strange intentions is almost negligible.

When Lin Dong opened the door, he walked to the kitchen. When the rich breakfast was brought out of the kitchen, Yunlan came.

After three days of waiting, Lin Dong was waiting for a long time. The president and vice president of the Business Association were finally elected under the notarization of the new governor Liu Xiu. The next day, the Business Association also announced its official establishment and operation.

Recruiting errands, coordinating the various advantages of the entire Qiufeng Mansion, and arranging personnel to other places to investigate prices... The president of the Business Association is over 50 years old and has handed over the industry to his eldest son to take care of. Changyun Money Mansion has a history of hundreds of years in Qiufeng City. Wan Xuliang is a talented person, extraordinary ability, and a good reputation, which is a popular choice. Under his arrangement, a series of things are going on in an orderly manner.

What Lin Dong is most concerned about is undoubtedly pricing.

The ending gave Lin Dong a headache. Whether it was wine, food, or accommodation, as he had previously guessed, it had a significant impact on Lin Ji Inn.

In terms of the price of wine and vegetables, the Business Association has counted hundreds of recipes for wine and vegetables, the materials, labor and other costs of these wine and vegetables. Due to the different costs of large restaurants and taverns, the highest value was obtained. According to the votes of shop owners from all walks of life, the profits of ordinary wine and vegetables will be adjusted from about 20% to 40%. However, the profits of spiritual beasts and spiritual materials will be adjusted from about 30% to 60%.

This alone is enough to make big restaurants have a headache and make small restaurants ecstatic. Especially restaurants like Linji Inn, which have discount measures such as VIP cards, are even more in tears, because these things are not considered cost at all. If you want to avoid losing money, you can only increase the conditions for obtaining these discount measures.

Next is the pricing of special dishes in major restaurants. Because it takes time to investigate, it cannot be priced in a short period of time.

Regarding the pricing of special dishes, the result of all merchants' votes is that major restaurants can try to give costs as much as possible on the premise of concealing their special dishes. For example, the production method can hide one or two processes, and one or two processes in terms of materials and ingredients. Then, after confirmation by the investigator, the cost will be counted. This means that the hidden process or ingredients cannot be counted as the cost.

In terms of profit, the result of the voting is that the profits of special dishes, like ordinary wine and food, can only float between 20% and 40%.

Once these restrictions are released, not only Lin Dongtou is as big as a bull, but also the same is true for major restaurants. Whose specialty dishes have not doubled or even multiples? It is only between 20% and 40%, and the cost is lower than the actual cost because of hidden processes and ingredients. How much money can you make?

In Lin Dong's view, the profit limit of each specialty dish is voted by everyone, which can easily suppress the enthusiasm of each specialty dish to study. Unfortunately, the business association is still in the development stage, and various immature terms and inapplicable branches and leaves are unable to adjust in a short period of time.

Fortunately, you have a plan to Zhang Liang. I have a wall ladder. The biggest feature of special dishes is that no one knows how this special dish is made. The best way is undoubtedly to try to find a way to increase the cost of special dishes.

Linji Inn has many special dishes, high prices and only two must-order dishes per table, including turtle stewed with maple tung leaves and vibrant beef balls.

Maple tung leaves, turtles, ingredients... the total cost is only 100 cents, and the selling price is 2 taels of silver.

If you want to increase the cost, you must undoubtedly add the ingredients. Choose a few high-level spiritual materials that are colorless and tasteless after steaming, and then mix the soup of these high-level spiritual materials into the stewed turtle with maple tung leaves, and everything will be fine. As for the stewed turtle with maple tung leaves sold in the future, it is still the original stewed turtle with maple tung leaves.

The same is true for Vital Beef Balls. Although the cost is only a dozen cents, the cost is increased with a process made of high-level spiritual soup.

After all, although the special dishes are not affected, the original price of Linji Inn in terms of ordinary wine and food is not high. However, the spiritual beasts and spiritual materials alone have greatly reduced the profits of Linji Inn.

Linji Inn takes a high-end route, and the profits of spiritual beasts and spiritual materials are almost twice as high. The profits of those spiritual beasts and spiritual materials of third- and fourth-levels have even reached five or six times. This breath has dropped to between 30% and 60%, and even 60%, the monthly profit is enough to sharply reduce from 30,000 taels to about 10,000 taels. This indirectly means that the price of wine and food remains at about 50,000 taels.

In addition, the losses and pricing of other branches have caused the branches to be unable to quickly seize potential losses such as diners, Linji Inn has suffered a heavy blow.

Lin Dong didn't think so. Although the advantages of the inn were suppressed by pricing, the advantages of the inn were obvious, and it was still enough to attract a large number of super big and large-scale residents to spend an hour or two to invite a banquet at Linji Inn. Later, when we arrived in Lingnan City, Cheng Bao, the second chef, was joined, and he was also extremely competitive. In terms of silver, the monthly profit dropped by more than 60%. Although the amount was not small, it could still support the large-scale expansion of the inn. In terms of purchasing spirit stones, while increasing consumption, as long as the expansion speed can keep up, there should be enough silver support. Even if there is a gap, it can be filled from Linji Winery and the Linji Factory that is being prepared.

What really makes Lin Dong depressed is the restrictions on accommodation. The advantages of Lin Ji Inn in accommodation are: first, the colorful beds, and second, the service is thoughtful, cheap and good quality.

The advantage of the colorful bed is to attract large guests. It is now only level 2 74. If you want to upgrade to all rooms, it is the fastest in three to five years. The service is thoughtful and the price is good. There is no secret of the cost in terms of pricing. Once the business association price is released, the advantage of low-price and good quality is cancelled. The accommodation building, which is only considerate and has little obvious advantages, has undoubtedly been greatly weakened in attracting other city gate merchants on three sides.

In Qiufeng City, even if someone wants to open a new inn, it will take at least half a year to buy land and build a new inn. In addition, Lin Dong has already bought all inns, the impact will not be great in a short period of time.

But Linji Inn will not stay in Qiufeng City all the time. According to Lin Dong's prediction, he will set off for Lingnan City in two months. When he arrives in Lingnan City, what will Linji Inn use to attract guests?

Compared to Qiufeng City, Lingnan City is several times larger. In Qiufeng City, if you take a carriage, it will take about two hours to get from Dongcheng to the city. However, Lingnan City will take more than ten hours. This means that Linji Inn is built in the city. Even if you buy all the inns in the city at a high price, it will be difficult to attract enough guests without an advantage. After all, it is not enough for inns to stay. It is better to find a household nearby to stay in a house after a dozen hours. Although the conditions are not as good as inns, it is countless times better than entering the city early in the morning and finding an inn the next morning.

Once the price is released, let alone attracting merchants from all over the city, even if it is built at the gate of the city, the advantages of Linji Inn are not obvious. In addition, if other inns send a friend to the gate of the city, they may not be able to compete with nearby inns.

It can be said that the accommodation building pricing is priced, and Linji Inn's profit in accommodation increases by several taels of silver per month. But guests... If all the inns in Qiufeng City were not bought, and the number of hours you could reach Linji Inn from any city gate in three or five hours, and Linji Inn also sent a carriage for transportation for free, it would be enough to reduce it by 60% or 70%.

In addition to headaches, it is also headaches. The only thing that Lin Dong is grateful to is that the impact of the business association on the inn has not reached the worst level. As long as the matter of the guests can be solved, the emergence of the business association and the losses suffered by Lin Ji Inn will drop significantly, and the expansion speed may be delayed. There will be no fatal blow to the inn's expansion potential.

After studying hard for a day, Lin Dong had no choice but to increase the number of guests. He had no choice but to learn to deal with Fenglin Restaurant last time and gather all the chefs and staff in the inn to gather their ideas. However, after a night, there were many good suggestions, but none of them could turn the tide.

After waiting for another five days, Lin Shuang came to Qiufeng City for a vacation. Lin Dong told the business genius shamelessly. As a result, he could barely feel relieved. According to Lin Shuang's idea, he wanted to have a journey that could attract guests for a dozen hours in a short time. He could not do it with his strength. He could only target the residents in the city.

The idea was unexpected, but if the residents in the city couldn't stay at home, Lin Shuang's proposal was to hold some activities nearby such as the Vitality Ball Competition Calligraphy Competition, and to try to drag important competitions until the evening. In this way, residents who were slightly far away could only stay nearby.

The method is good and it is indeed feasible. The only thing that worried Lin Dong was that the cost... might be a bit high. After all, if the residents want to come from afar to watch the competition, the players who compete must be the best, and the bonus must therefore be increased to a level that they cannot refuse.

These things will not be increased by the business association to the cost of accommodation. However, the boss of Linji Inn will be included in the cost.

The profits of the accommodation building are, even if they are full every day, they are only one or two taels of silver a day. Compared with the bonuses of hundreds of taels of silver a day, they are not worth mentioning at all.

Of course, this method is not a chance of success. If you can build a gym near the inn and collect tickets, if the ticket revenue can be profitable, the inn system will automatically exclude this matter from the accommodation range.

Lin Dong was not completely relieved because he was worried that ticket income would not be profitable or that the income and expenditure would be balanced. After all, even in the past world, the gymnasium could not guarantee profitability. In this world, the living standards were already low, and everyone was accustomed to working daylight to earn money, and those who were busy supporting their families all day long and were willing to spend money to watch various competitions at night were hard to expect. If the tickets were targeted as large and super big, there would be great limitations in the number of people. Not only would the profits not be increased, but there might be very few people staying at Linji Inn.

There is no other way, so I can only try it.

It happened that it was almost time for the escorts to march into Lingnan City to take the lead. On that day, Lin Dong asked Wang Liujiao to go to Lingnan City with silver notes and some people. Just like the inn's site, he bought a piece of land at the city center and the city gate in the north of the city, and then built two Linji gymnasiums. Which one will be chosen depending on the situation.

The hidden dangers brought by the Business Association and the new prefect were finally dealt with. Although it was a bit unsatisfactory, it was still within Lin Dong's acceptance range.

Life is getting free again. The price of wine and food is only a certain extent and cannot be adjusted at will. If it is a new restaurant or a new restaurant that has not yet opened, or a big restaurant like Yingfeng Tower that cannot be included in the cost of attracting diners by relying on top singing and dancing, it will be subject to a lot of control. And a restaurant like Linji Inn has established an absolute advantage in Qiufeng City, and is not too serious in suppression. The number of diners will not only not be damaged, but will also have a certain increase.

Of course, the profits brought about by the growing number of diners are still far from being able to make up for the losses caused by pricing.

Ding: Congratulations on your inn experience value reaching full value, and you will get the upgrade task ‘help the first guest of the inn solve his troubles the next day’.

The sudden system prompted Lin Dong, who was practicing, suddenly opened his eyes.

Linji Inn has finally met the upgrade conditions again.

I couldn't wait to open the inn system and call out the upgrade task and study it carefully for a while. Lin Dong immediately opened the door.

The night moon lingered, Lin Dong roughly estimated that it should have been midnight yet, and then walked all the way to the lobby under the moonlight.

When I entered the lobby and looked around, an oil lamp flickered on the counter, flashing with a faint yellow light. Below the counter, there was a bedding cover. Judging from the exposed head of the thick, used quilt, Liu Hua was responsible for the night watch today.

Lin Dong immediately stepped forward and gently patted the quilt.

"Is it dawn..."

Liu Hua Youyou woke up, opened his sleepy eyes, and found that it was Lin Dong, so he hurriedly sat up.

"Shopkeeper, why did you come over in the middle of the night?"

"Suddenly, I want to try the feeling of watching the night." Lin Dong said with a smile.

"The shopkeeper wants to watch the night?" Liu Hua was stunned. This whim was weird enough.

Lin Dong nodded.

"Then I..." Liu Hua was a little puzzled.

"When you go back, you will definitely wake up others." Lin Dong smiled and said, "Let you enjoy it and see if there is an empty room with A characters. If there is, you will live there tonight. If there is no room with B characters."

"Hey," Liu Hua nodded, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Save the bedding here for the shopkeeper? Or should I go to the room to get the bedding for the shopkeeper?"

"Just stay here." Lin Dong shook his head.

The vigil just slept with clothes. Liu Hua got up from the warm quilt, shivered, looked at Lin Dong, took out a bunch of keys and handed them over: "Does the shopkeeper have any other instructions? If not, I'll go there now?"

After taking the key, Lin Dong said, "Tell me the empty room in the accommodation building first."

"Yeah, there have been people who have made reservations for Tianzi, and it has been postponed to half a month later. There are five vacant rooms in the Azimu Room now, and seven more will check out tomorrow. There are four vacant rooms in the Bzimu Room..."

Lin Dong nodded and remembered the situation of the accommodation building. After Liu Hua left, he immediately sat cross-legged on the bedding.

(Thanks to scrooge for his reward, o(n_n)o~…)...
