Cheng Su had never evaluated the current value of the restaurant, nor had she thought about bringing in a partner someday, so when Luh Kai mentioned it, she didn’t know how to react at first.
"Actually, this restaurant has only been open for a little over a year, a place like this is good for making some pocket change. You say it can make a lot of money, but who would have confidence in such a small restaurant? Even if you’re looking to invest, wouldn’t you go for something bigger?" Cheng Su said, smiling.
"You’re too modest, your restaurant is doing quite well. Of course, whether the business is good or not, I think you know in your heart. You should have some plans for what scale you want to reach. I’m just suggesting because I feel the opportunity is rare, and it would be a pity to miss it. Isn’t the government encouraging entrepreneurship now?" Luh Kai said with a faint smile.
Cheng Su raised an eyebrow, "So you’re thinking of starting a business too?"
"Starting a business, maybe after I can revive my supply and marketing cooperative!" Luh Kai’s expression was somewhat forlorn.
Cheng Su tentatively asked, "Is business really not doing well now?"
"With the current reforms, lots of businesses are doing well. Some items can now be bought elsewhere, not just at the supply and marketing cooperative!" Luh Kai said, "So it’s become much harder to run."
Cheng Su pursed her lips, thinking, it will only get harder in the future, but how could she say that?
"So, you must seize the opportunity to grow and develop!" Luh Kai changed his tone.
Cheng Su laughed, "It’s not that easy to just say someone will invest. I have to think it over. I need to write a comprehensive plan, and as for the land you mentioned, I need to look into it."
Luh Kai nodded.
An idea stirred in Cheng Su’s mind, and she asked, as if joking, "If I really were to look for a partner, would you be interested in this little shop?"
Qi Taiguo had gone for training, leaving no one to discuss with, so Cheng Su had to find Ning Ge to consult and ask for his opinion.
After listening, Ning Ge said, "This restaurant has only been open for a year, and it’s the time to accumulate customers. Wouldn’t it be a pity to stop operations now?"
"I thought of that too, so I feel conflicted and torn. But according to my plan, it’s necessary for Joy Soon Loy to expand and refine its operation towards a restaurant business model." Cheng Su said, "I want it to grow into a proper dining establishment, not just remain a small fast-food joint."
"Then you must think it through, whether you can bear the risks involved." Ning Ge said.
Cheng Su pressed her lips together and after a while, said, "Doing business inherently has the risk of crashing. If it turns out that success is not in my destiny, I’ll accept it."
Ning Ge raised an eyebrow, gazing deeply at her.
