The restaurant was indeed up for a transfer, and the transfer fee was one hundred yuan, including all the furniture and fixtures of the restaurant. In addition, since the house was their private property, they were also required to pay rent. If Cheng Su took over, the first year’s rent would be waived. Starting next year, the rent would be ten yuan per month.
The transfer fee was one hundred yuan, which made Cheng Su hesitate.
"Actually, our location is quite excellent. It’s just our lack of good management, and on top of that, a family elder fell ill and needed care. We also have a pineapple orchard to tend to, which is why we’re transferring the business," Old Wang, the owner, said upon seeing Cheng Su’s hesitation. "Since you’re interested in taking over, and it seems you can cook, if you can cook well and the food tastes good, business will follow naturally."
"One hundred yuan does seem a bit expensive," Cheng Su said. "If it were a bit cheaper, I could consider it. Besides, since you say the location is so good, just a change in your cooking style, and you could continue to run it. Or you could hire a chef. Why transfer it then?"
"We did think about that, but we’re concerned about our home. Our Old Wang is an only child. Moreover, he had an accident before and has trouble with his leg," Sister Wang said with a wry smile.
Cheng Su fell silent.
Upon taking another look at the restaurant, all the equipment and facilities were fairly new. She believed that if she took over and worked hard with her cooking skills, she could definitely make the business work. If all else failed, she could hire a chef and manage behind the scenes.
She had already planned out what she would do. She could open a fast-food restaurant, which was very popular in the nineties. She could set prices for different dishes, allowing people to choose, and also cater to takeout orders.
Once the restaurant was successful, she could open branches, expand it, turn it into a big dining establishment, and ultimately a grand hotel.
Indeed, owning a grand hotel was her ultimate goal.
So, if she took over this restaurant, it would mark the beginning of her career.
