Chapter 51
Luo Xingzhu ate something casually in Songshiji, and not long after he took the dishes packed by the waiter, he checked out and left.
When he went out, he went straight to Su Ji, which was diagonally opposite, with a big paper bag in his hand, with the words "Song Shi Ji" on it very prominently, looking like he was here to smash the scene.
Su Qiao took him to a table in the corner and sat down, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by posting that picture?"
Luo Xingzhu waved his hand, opened the paper bag and said, "You will know after you taste it."
The dishes he ordered on the opposite side tasted very similar to Su Ji's, and so did the dishes he wanted to take away.
Even if the chef of Song Shi Ji encounters a dead mouse and can imitate one or two dishes by mistake, it is no coincidence that every dish tastes similar to Su Ji.
Luo Xingzhu scolded the Ode to Food from top to bottom in his heart, and without stopping, he neatly uncovered all the ten dishes that had been packed.
Su Qiao held the chopsticks in her hand, she hadn't tasted them yet, she just smelled the fragrance, and she noticed the abnormality.He pursed his lips, somewhat understanding the meaning of Luo Xingzhu's emoji, and immediately looked in the direction of the kitchen with some confusion and frustration.
Is he too stupid, or too defenseless?
Even at this time, knowing that there is something wrong with the people in the store, there is still no way to determine who it is.
It feels like everyone is behaving normally, talking and laughing at ordinary times, and it is completely impossible to see who would contact the people on Songshiji in private.
Su Qiao sighed, feeling that she was really not good at this kind of thing.He is not sharp, and sometimes he can even be called dull. He can't catch the clues in words and deeds.
"It's still fun to cook..." he whispered.
The intrigue in the mall is really not suitable for a loose and naive person like Su Qiao.
But after all, it is his own decision to open a restaurant. When something bad happens, he should try to solve it by himself.
Su Qiao didn't plan to talk to her family whenever she had any difficulties, or ask Luo Yunshen to help.You can get through it with your own hard work, so why bother your family? You are no longer a child in your 20s, and there is no reason to seek help when you are frustrated.
At the same time, he is also very self-aware, knowing that he is not capable and has no experience, so if he encounters something that is really impossible to solve, Su Qiao will not be ashamed to ask for help just because he has not done well.
Family and lover are Su Qiao's biggest backing.
This made him very confident, and he was not afraid of the dirty tricks used by his competitors at all.
"Try it quickly." Luo Xingzhu urged. "Think about who is more suspicious? It will take some time to practice the craft like this?"
Su Qiao nodded, and picked up the Cuiyu three shredded beef that was closest to her.As soon as he took it in, the familiar smell made him frown.
"It's really similar to the taste in our store." Su Qiao said objectively. "The overall taste is not as good as Suji, but the price is there. If it is me, I may choose the cheaper one."
His consumption concept is very simple, unlike some rich second generation who buy expensive and well-known things.Clothes range from fast fashion brands worth a few hundred yuan to luxury ready-made clothes worth tens of thousands of 10,000+. The food is mainly based on your own preferences. You can also eat at roadside stalls, and you can also eat the signature dishes of the Samsung chef.
Therefore, Su Qiao feels that it is quite normal to choose a cheaper restaurant when the difference in taste is not particularly large.
High quality and low price have always been the pursuit of all consumers. From clothing to cosmetics, many people are always trying to obtain substitutes with similar quality at a cheaper price. The same is true for food.
Most of the customers of Songshiji and Suji are working-class, and their hard-working and frugal living habits will prompt them to choose businesses with more affordable prices.
Most of the people who stayed in the store today were old customers who were disgusted by the method of eating food, and stayed to eat in order to express their support.But more customers don't care about these. The means of competition between businesses has nothing to do with them. As long as they can eat delicious food at a low price, it doesn't matter whether it is provided by Songshiji or Suji.
If you can't counteract Song Shi Ji in a short time, your own restaurant will face the dilemma of losing money.
Su Qiao counted with her fingers, and found that although the restaurant has been in good business since it opened, the initial investment is not a small amount.Due to the short opening time, it has not yet paid back the cost.
With the trick of Songshiji, the reduction in passenger flow means that it will be more difficult to pay back.
Then when will he earn enough money to open many chain stores and knock down Songshiji?
If even a small branch can't do anything, wouldn't it be even more impossible to win if it really competes with Song Shiji in the future.
Thinking of this, Su Qiao suddenly refused to admit defeat, and said angrily, "I will definitely make Song Shiji on the other side regret doing this!"
Luo Xingzhu: "..."
He suppressed a smile, applauded while thinking: This sentence is a bit of a tyrant's declaration, Tianliang Wang Po's posture, but coupled with Jiujiu's fat face, it just sounds like... well, the cub is so cute .
No wonder his brother saw Jiujiu's photo and wanted to meet, and wanted to get married as soon as he saw him.
After Su Qiao had tasted the dishes, she called Sister Zhong over here, and whispered in the corner what to do.Luo Xingzhu naturally shared the same hatred with them, and was eager to come up with an idea.
"Just stop by the door of their house and tell the whole story, so that everyone knows that the menu of Songshiji is imitating you." Luo Xingzhu said. "I'll find a few more people to shoot some small videos, put them on various platforms, and say hello to the platform operators. Within two days, the whole network will scold them."
Luo Xingzhu mainly manages the entertainment industry under the Luo family. He has several brokerage companies and Internet celebrity incubation companies, and cooperates with many media platforms.Luo Yunshen asked him to push behind Su's clarification of food poisoning and Su's father's donation of 5000 million at a charity auction earlier, so that Su's would not be caught in the public opinion storm.
He made such a suggestion at the moment because he wanted to make full use of the resources in his hands to help.What's more, Luo Xingzhu felt at ease when the commotion became big and Song Shiji's notoriety spread far and wide.
The word "Golden Fan Screen" was decided upon by him and Xu Shun after discussing it. What is Song Shiji, and it also goes with this dish name?
Su Qiao is still thinking.
Sister Zhong hesitated for a while, but said: "I'm afraid it won't work well... Copying the menu is a mistake, but the customer's final consideration is the food. After all, their price is half the price. If it really makes a big fuss , Did it promote the Song of Food instead?"
"... also." Luo Xingzhu was stunned. "I didn't think twice."
Standing on Su Ji's standpoint, he naturally felt that Song Shi Ji's actions were despicable and contemptible.But excluding personal emotions and considering the means alone, the practice of praising food is actually very common.
Others wouldn't be like Luo Xingzhu, most of them verbally scolded the food book, and they would eat it anyway.
Who has trouble with money?Even though the taste is slightly worse than Su Ji, the price is half the price.
Songshiji is currently the only restaurant that can cook these dishes. If they make a promotion for them by mistake, other stores will follow up immediately, and Suji will be in jeopardy.
After all, a chain is a chain, and the customer groups it faces are much more than Su Ji.
"Only from the perspective of imitating the menu, we seem to have no way to do it with Song Shi Ji." Sister Zhong said again. "There is no patent for cooking methods, and they can only talk about it when they learn it."
Recipes are not like inventions, they can be patented.It is difficult to judge in terms of practicality and creativity, so it is usually protected as a secret in commercial activities.Su Ji wants to find trouble with Song Shiji through the questions on the menu, first of all, he must have evidence that his employees have leaked commercial secrets.
Just because the two menus are the same and the taste is similar, from a legal perspective, there is no problem with Songshiji.
But I also know that since the other side dares to do this, they won't leave any excuses.
Besides, the menu is not the same as other commercial secrets.As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. In this vast land, there are countless types of ingredients and delicacies, and thus various cooking methods and dishes have been extended.
No one can ever say that what they make must be unique.
Even a dish like Buddha Jumping Over the Wall can be prepared by any restaurant, it depends on which one tastes better.
After cooking a dish, it is unreasonable to stipulate that only oneself can cook this dish.At least, most people can't agree.
It’s okay to keep your own secret recipes tight, but you have to let others make dishes made with common ingredients.
If it is not handled well, the rationale of this matter will become unreasonable.
Sister Zhong explained the matter clearly, why not: "Why don't we also lower the price? That's it, it's obviously a loss of money to make money, and see who will kill who first... The other side says it's a chain."
She sighed, looking sad.
Sister Zhong is really worried.Because Su Qiao said before that she would pay them dividends, Sister Zhong must be indispensable as the foreman.Although this job is a bit tiring, the salary is not low, and there is a bonus at the end of the year. Maybe I can be a store manager or something in a few years.
The small boss's craftsmanship is here, and he looks like he wants to grow up. These old employees who have been in business for a long time will definitely be promoted in the future, and their wages will also increase.Who doesn't like extra money?
If Su Ji can't continue to drive, she will have to work in another place, where there are such favorable conditions.
But if a price war is really going to happen, Sister Zhong herself feels that the possibility is unlikely.Although the little boss doesn't seem to be short of money, but with a [-]% discount like Song Shi Ji, the money he loses every day is not a small amount.There are other branches of Songshiji that are profitable, so naturally they are not afraid of this, the little boss just uses his own savings to fill it.
It's really not worth it.
Su Qiao frowned, swipe her fingers on the table unconsciously, and suddenly said: "Then... can we use the menu of Songshiji?"
He didn't know how to come up with this idea, and as soon as he said it, Sister Zhong and Luo Xingzhu looked at him in astonishment.
Su Qiao: "...?"
Su Qiao said carefully: "Can't you?"
Sister Zhong: "..."
Luo Xingzhu was stunned for two seconds, then murmured: "It seems that it's not impossible?"
I just didn't expect Su Qiao to come up with such an idea.Really ingenious, another way.
This hand is too coquettish.
