My girlfriend is an idol

"Are you crazy Downey? The cost of mung bean soup is very low. Are you afraid that others will scold you for sucking blood?"

More than the low cost, Li Xianzhe thinks that this kind of thing is too common, if it is sold as an ordinary snack in China, it is understandable.

But this is the United States. This kind of thing has not been known and touted by Americans before. Even if it is sold, it is certain that it can be sold, but he does not think that this kind of thing alone can be sold for long.

"Oh, listen to me, Li, I’m not saying that we only sell mung bean soup. As you said, this kind of thing is very common in China. It is normal in their daily life, but it is not available in the United States, and it may be in other countries. None of the countries.

Although I don't know why the overseas Chinese living in Chinatown did not sell mung bean soup.

But I believe that if we sell this bowl at a price of one dollar, Americans will think that the price is very, very cheap, and they will be very happy to pay."

Li Xianzhe blinked, watching Downey's serious look for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

"Hey, you have played Iron Man for so long, I don't think you have some Tony Stark's businessman temperament.

I know what you mean, but I must remind you that if you sell mung bean soup with other staples, it is impossible to sell it at a dollar price.

Unless you don't want to make money, all food prices in the restaurant are determined based on the combination of land prices and the prices of ingredients.

And mung bean soup can only be sold in Chinese restaurants, and mung bean soup has not been a staple of China's three meals.

What's annoying is that it is difficult to buy this mung bean in the United States. We have to ship it by air from overseas, so..., the air freight alone in the middle is a headache for us."

Although Li Xianzhe has not participated in the management of restaurant affairs, the person in charge of his restaurants in the United States will send him financial statements from time to time. In terms of basic knowledge, he is slightly better than Downey. Stronger.

And this reminder made Downey's expression slowly calm down.

He is not a person who is good at managing money and investment. Without the help of Li Xianzhe and his wife, maybe the money he is still spending can't keep up with the speed of making money.

"Oh~ This sounds really troublesome, but it's not you. Li, I believe you can do it well.

If we open a Chinese restaurant, you know, I can’t bring much pocket money with me every day."

Squeezing his eyes at Li Xianzhe, it was obvious that Downey regarded mung bean soup and Li Xianzhe's Chinese food proposal as his new sideline start.

How much money a restaurant can make in a hot business situation depends on the size, decoration, and internal services of the store.

However, both Li Xianzhe and Downey know that Chinese restaurants in the United States are generally divided into two types, one is a Chinese restaurant run by the Americans, and the other is run by those overseas Chinese in Chinatown.

The difference between the two is that in the eyes of many people, the Chinese restaurants run by Americans are very dirty, and the taste is not comparable to those in Chinatown.

"If you really want to open a restaurant, you need to take a long-term view, and the United States is not the best choice."

Li Xianzhe once investigated, it is not that American artists do not like to participate in sideline business, but the star effect. Compared with Asia, the effect brought by the United States is completely different.

A top artist in Asia can use his reputation to set up a side business and turn his fans into customers to mention the profits of the side business. However, this approach is ultimately due to various reasons such as poor management or high prices in the later period. Was abandoned.

Perhaps in the eyes of American artists, this approach is a bit unsatisfactory, or they want to focus on the artist's own career, and the money they earn does not need to rely on sideline to support themselves and their families.

So in his opinion, if Downey really wants to start his own side business, he can use his overseas reputation, so that the ultimate benefits will be better than in the United States.

In short, no matter what method you choose, there are benefits and risks.

As far as he knows, there are many examples of some top European and American artists with their own brands opening branches in China and other countries.

But for publicity reasons, unless the real fans, the average local people don't know which top artist the owner of this store is.

"Oh no, buddy, tell you, my first dream was to be a restaurant owner.

During your absence in the United States, I have been patronizing your restaurant. You can’t just refuse me like that. According to your Easterners, this is unjustified."

Downey patted Li Xianzhe on the shoulder and talked endlessly about his big plan. Of course, the premise of all this was to draw Li Xianzhe in.

He admired Li Xianzhe's cooking skills very much, and he wanted to turn Li Xianzhe into his own personal chef, but obviously this idea was unrealistic.

In addition, Li Xianzhe’s first-hand food is completely different from the American Chinese food delivery he has eaten.

Although I can't tell the difference, it is undoubtedly because Li Xianzhe is in the crew. Now the whole crew has given up the idea of ​​eating takeaway.

"No, no, I think this is a crazy approach to Downey. Although the restaurant is profitable, it is also the easiest to close down due to poor management. Don't forget that there are so many American restaurants."

Interest belongs to interest, but Li Xianzhe still couldn't help interrupting Downey's thoughts.

God knows that every time he cooks Chinese food in the United States, the purchase of a lot of ingredients alone is enough to drive him crazy.

Although he can replace it with other ingredients, there is no doubt that the dishes made under such circumstances are not authentic Chinese food.

"Li, don't you think this is a great plan? But you are right. There are too many restaurants in the United States. I have never heard of any Chinese restaurant that is very popular.

Instead, let’s choose a location elsewhere. I’ll be the boss. You will appoint the menu and be the person in charge. The two of us work together and then bring Kevin in. Our restaurant will be popular."

Li Xianzhe silently watched the other person spit out, and admitted that he underestimated Downey's passion for Chinese food.

Downey in life is definitely the most fanatical person he has ever seen for China. Not only does he like to eat Chinese food, but the team of doctors around him also has many Chinese medicine practitioners.

During the fitness before and after his appearance in "Iron Man", he also hired international experts to learn kung fu, and he also had a wooden stake for practicing Wing Chun in his home.

"Besides, you said before that many ingredients are not available in the US market. In this case, we might as well set up an overseas company to try the water first, just... South Korea?

Correct!How about Korea, oh my god, I forgot this, Lee... You told me before that you have a lot of properties in Seoul?Take out one as a shop for decoration. How about the location of our two restaurants?"

"..."

If the United States can't just South Korea?This change in thinking made Li Xianzhe finger the other party without speaking for a long time.

It was only at this time that he was convinced that he had been bypassed by the other party. Indeed, he had a lot of real estate in Seoul, which was all a few years ago. He didn't expect the other party to remember it.
