Chapter 1804 Difficulties Before Opening

In Wangfujing, relying on his personal connections and business ability accumulated in the Chen family for many years, Lin Maosheng managed to buy the facade of a restaurant near Wangfujing. After more than two months of renovation and preparation, he finally decided to Ready to set a date for opening.

However, not long after all his business licenses were obtained, a group of people came directly to his door. This group of people claimed to belong to the Beijing Food Association, and forced Lin Maosheng to join the association and pay a high membership fee of hundreds of thousands a year.

If you don't pay these fees, you will never want to open a restaurant in the capital. The aura of those people was very fierce, as if they would smash the whole store if they didn't agree with each other.

At the beginning, Lin Maosheng was not aware of these unspoken rules of the catering industry in the capital, and thought that these people might be those gangsters and local bullies who came here to collect protection money under various names.

However, after some investigation, he found out that these people really belonged to the Beijing Food Association, and this association really blatantly monopolized and blackmailed new restaurants, forcing them to pay high membership fees.

"What should we do? Mr. Lin, do we really have to pay such a high membership fee? They are obviously deceiving people too much!"

In the Wangfujing restaurant of Heroes Restaurant, before it opened, it encountered such a problem, which caused Lin Maosheng, who had no experience in the catering industry, a headache. Ye Xiong, the deputy general manager recruited by his side, also said angrily.

"Then what can I do? It's not like you don't know that in the capital, as long as there are large-scale restaurants in the capital, they must be members of the Beijing Food Association. Otherwise, they have a hundred ways to stop your store from opening. ..."

With one hand propped on the table, Lin Maosheng also felt a lot of pressure. After all, since he came back from Zhi'an City, he has completely broken with the Chen family. Although he has not yet divorced his wife Chen Hui, he has basically drawn a clear line with the Chen family and no longer relies on any contacts and connections of the Chen family. Financial support.

In order to open this Hero Restaurant, he had spent millions of savings and borrowed more than one million before renting out the restaurant and renovating it. The remaining money is just a start-up fund. If you pay such a large membership fee of hundreds of thousands, I am afraid that the funds that need to be invested in the early stage will have to be borrowed again.

However, if the money is not paid, once the restaurant opens, the people from the Beijing Food Association will definitely come to make trouble.

"Mr. Lin, then...if it's really not possible, we can only pay the money first. It seems that today is the last payment date they said. If we don't pay..."

The deputy general manager Ye Xiong also sighed, shook his head and said, "I have encountered such problems in several restaurants before. Moreover, it has almost formed the unspoken rules of the entire Beijing restaurant business. With this amount of money, there is no way to open a store in the capital."

"Yes! There is no way, it seems... we can only pay this sum of money first, and then we can talk about it after opening. As for whether we will have to pay this sum of money every year in the future, let's talk about it! But as long as the Hero Restaurant Come on, with our recipes, we will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital."

In the past two months, Lin Maosheng has been busy, and almost everything in the store has been run around by him, including the recruitment of personnel, and he has recruited them one by one. Ye Xiong, the deputy general manager, has many years of experience in the catering industry, and he himself is a loyal customer of Heroes Restaurant. To open a branch in Beijing.

But it is a pity that Heroes Restaurant will not easily authorize external parties, so Ye Xiong has always given up on this idea. Knowing that he heard that Lin Maosheng, as Lin Feng's uncle, had the qualification to operate the chain of the Heroes Restaurant's Beijing branch, he immediately resigned from his job as the general manager of the restaurant and followed him.

However, even Ye Xiong, a veteran in the catering industry in Beijing, has no way to deal with the Beijing Food Association.

"Yes! Mr. Lin, I have eaten every dish in Heroes Restaurant. It is really delicious. It is a few blocks away from those star-rated restaurants. As long as it opens, it will definitely spread the word of mouth in a short time. It's..." Ye Xiong also said confidently.

"Okay! If that's the case, then I'll go and hand over the 400,000 membership fee to the people from the Beijing Food Association today, and hope that they won't come here to make trouble again in a short time..."

When Lin Maosheng was about to go out to pay the fee at the headquarters of the Beijing Food Association, his mobile phone rang suddenly. He picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly received: "Hey! Victory! Why do you have time to give me a message?" Shall I call? I just planned to call you in the next few days to inform you of the opening time of the Beijing branch! At that time, I invite you to come to the capital for a few days and participate in the opening ceremony of our new store!"

"Brother, Guizhu and I have already arrived in the capital. Xiaofeng bought us a villa in the capital, so he took us all over." Lin Shengli said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"What? You and your siblings have been in the capital for so many days? Why didn't you tell me first!" Lin Maosheng also said with a look of surprise. Now he has awakened, and the relationship between the brothers has returned to the past.

"Aren't you afraid that you are busy? After all, it is not as easy to build a new store in the capital as it is in Zhi'an City. Guizhu and I just have nothing to do today. Where is the address of your store? Guizhu and I are going there now." Take a tour and take a look...if I can help you..."

Father Lin said with a smile that he hadn't seen his eldest brother for several months. Since he was rehabilitated, he hadn't seen each other, and the brothers missed each other more and more.

"That's right! Brother, after all, Lao Lin and I prepared the Hero Restaurant in Zhi'an City before, so I can help you a little..." Mother Lin also said aside.

"Okay! Shengli, Guizhu, the address of our new store is at No. 315 Wangfujing Street. Where do you live now? How about I drive to pick you up?" Lin Maosheng said.

"No! No! We can just drive there by ourselves, and Xiaofeng's car is also driving to the capital. Your place is not very far from us, so let's do it first, brother, see you later."

After making an appointment, Lin Shengli hung up the phone. However, Lin Maosheng in the Wangfujing store had just left the store and quickly turned back. His subordinate Ye Xiong asked strangely: "Boss Lin, what's going on? Didn't you go out to pay the membership fee? came back?"
