Zhan Lingfeng found that after applying for several patents, he was left with only five hundred thousand.
Faced with this amount of money, Zhan Lingfeng felt speechless; such an amount was really not enough.
What to do?
Zhan Lingfeng knew that he could not develop technology at this moment, and the only option was to engage in some quick-money activities.
After thinking for a while, Zhan Lingfeng realized that he really needed a sum of startup capital.
"Boss, everyone wants to treat you to a meal." Zhi San entered looking somewhat nervous. They had experienced Zhan Lingfeng's strength and knew he was not someone they could provoke.
Zhi San and his group were considered a medium-sized force in the area, and several leaders invited Zhan Lingfeng into a restaurant.
"Boss, this is the best restaurant in our city. What do you think? Not bad, right?" Zhi San asked somewhat flatteringly.
Zhan Lingfeng looked around the place and felt a stir in his heart, saying, "You won't know until you eat."
After dining for a while, Zhi San and the others got drunk. Although Zhan Lingfeng also drank quite a bit, alcohol did not have much effect on him; it couldn't truly get him drunk.
With matters on his mind, Zhan Lingfeng had a young member take him around the city for a day.
When they returned from their outing, the next day Zhan Lingfeng called Zhi San over and asked, "Have you thought about doing some real business?"
"What kind of business? We only know how to fight and kill; we don't know anything else."
"Opening a restaurant isn't a bad idea."
"That's true!"
"How about this? I'll provide a recipe, and you take care of finding the staff and the location for the restaurant. We can partner up on this, what do you think?"
Zhi San frowned and said, "We've tried that before, and it ended badly. No one wants to do that again."
"I need a large space with as many rooms as possible. A simple renovation will suffice. Also, I need some chefs and waitstaff. How about you handle that? And I have five hundred thousand on hand; if you can contribute some, I'll give you ten percent equity."
Zhi San's expression turned sour again as he replied, "We really don't have much money. The property isn't an issue; there's a restaurant on the outskirts that just needs some basic renovations. It even has space around it for expansion, and parking is convenient. Getting people to work there won't be hard either. We can have the brothers hold down the fort for now, but finding good chefs is tricky. There are plenty of those who just graduated from culinary school, though."
"That's fine; let's just hire some fresh graduates. I'm doing a Medicinal Hot Pot, which doesn't require much technical skill—the key techniques are with me."
Zhan Lingfeng found it amusing that he still couldn't escape the Medicinal Hot Pot business.
At that time, five hundred thousand was still quite valuable. After simple renovations on a three-story building with rooms on all floors, a sign reading Herbal Hot Pot City was hung outside.
The medicinal powder personally made by Zhan Lingfeng was placed in the broth by someone specifically found by Zhi San.
"Have all the necessary personnel been hired?"
Looking at Zhi San standing in front of him, Zhan Lingfeng asked.
"The invitations have all been sent out, and quite a few complimentary tasting invitations were included."
Zhan Lingfeng nodded slightly.
Zhi San hesitated and said, "Boss, can this really work? There are people who will come for the free food, but I'm worried there won't be any repeat customers. That would be disastrous."
Zhan Lingfeng smiled and replied, "Can anyone compare to my Medicinal Hot Pot? Men will recover from impotence instantly after eating it, and those lacking energy will feel revitalized. Women will also experience comprehensive improvements in their health. Don't worry."
After handing the matter over to Zhi San, Zhan Lingfeng looked at the reluctant staff and chefs that Zhi San had somehow recruited, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
This task was now Zhi San's responsibility; he needed to change his career path.
General Manager Zhan Lingfeng did not take on the role himself; he was only responsible for collecting money. Zhi San was now the general manager of the restaurant.
Back at his residence, Zhan Lingfeng sat down and contemplated the next steps he needed to take.
Once he had secured more funds, Zhan Lingfeng planned to pursue a technological route. Only this path could allow him to earn more money. He couldn't believe he still had to focus on making money!
Zhi San was genuinely anxious as well. Although he hadn't invested any money, Zhan Lingfeng had put in five hundred thousand here. If things collapsed suddenly, he didn't know if Zhan Lingfeng would be angry, and they would all be implicated.
He hoped this Restaurant would thrive.
The following time saw Zhi San exerting his efforts, delivering the invitations that needed to be sent out, and even threatening some individuals by implying that they would be looked down upon if they didn't show up.
The day of the grand opening arrived in an instant, and with a series of firecrackers at the entrance, the place was officially open for business.
Those who received the invitation came for various reasons; some were looking to take advantage of the occasion, while others felt they couldn't refuse Zhi San's invitation. Everyone had low expectations for this Medicinal Hot Pot, with some even thinking about just sitting for a bit and leaving, considering it enough to show face.
However, as everyone entered the Restaurant, a fragrant aroma wafted through the air, instantly invigorating them.
"Smells amazing!"
"Yeah, it's such a pleasant scent. The smell of meat makes you feel hungry just by inhaling it."
"It seems quite nice!"
As they discussed among themselves and took their seats, they noticed an introduction on the wall about this type of Medicinal Hot Pot.
Upon reading it, everyone was taken aback.
Aphrodisiac, Yin-nourishing, Strengthening, Spirit-replenishing, Bone-strengthening.
What kind of magical hot pot is this!
Soon, the Medicinal Hot Pot was served.
Now, after taking in the aroma, everyone's feelings intensified. Each person disregarded what others were saying and dove right in; as they picked up their chopsticks, food was already entering their mouths.
As time passed, the only sound that remained was that of eating.
"Is it all gone?"
It was only when everyone was eating that they realized a large pot of Herbal Chicken had been completely finished.
In an instant, everyone looked at each other, feeling a sense of confusion.
"It's so delicious!"
"I didn't even get to eat; how is it that there's not even any soup left?"
"I'm still not full."
"Boss, let's order more!"
Many people shouted loudly.
At this moment, the waiter smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but this pot of food was just for tasting and is free. If you want to continue eating, you will need to pay for it."
Everyone looked at each other in astonishment; who invites guests like this!
