Chapter 817

"Are you crazy, Donny? The cost of mung bean soup is very low. Are you not afraid of being scolded by others for sucking blood? "

It's more than low cost. Li Xianzhe thinks this kind of thing is too common. It's understandable if it is sold as an ordinary snack in China.

But this is the United States. This kind of thing has not been known and praised by Americans before. Even if it is sold, it is certain that it can be sold, but he doesn't think it can last 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, which is very common in their daily life, but it doesn't exist in the United States or in other countries.

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

But I believe that we sell this bowl at the price of one dollar. Americans will feel that the price is very, very cheap, and will be very happy to pay for it. "

Li Xianzhe blinked, looked at Downey seriously for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

"Hey, you've been playing iron man for so long. I don't think you have some Tony Stark's merchant temperament.

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

Unless you don't want to make money, all the food prices in the restaurant are set according to the land price and the price of food materials.

Moreover, mung bean soup can only be sold in Chinese restaurants, and mung bean soup has never been a staple food in the three meals of China.

And what's troubling is that it's hard to buy such mung beans in the United States. We have to fly them from overseas, so... The air freight alone is a headache for us. "

Although Li Xianzhe has not participated in the management of restaurant affairs, the heads of his restaurants in the United States will send him financial statements from time to time. He is slightly better than Downey in some basic knowledge.

This reminder also calmed Downey's expression slowly.

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

"Oh ~ it sounds like a very troublesome thing, but it's not with you, Li. I'm sure you can do it well.

If we open a Chinese restaurant, you know, I can't bring much pocket money when I come out every day. "

He winked at Li Xianzhe. Obviously, Downey regarded mung bean soup and Li Xianzhe's Chinese food proposal as his new sideline start.

How much money a restaurant can make when it is hot depends on the size of the store, decoration and internal service.

However, both Li Xianzhe and Downey know that Chinese restaurants in the United States are generally divided into two types: one is run by Americans themselves, and the other is run by 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 no better than those in Chinatown.

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

Li Xianzhe once investigated that it's not that American artists don't like to participate in sidelines, but the star effect. The effect in the United States is completely different from that in Asia.

In Asia, a top artist can use his fame to set up a sideline and turn his fans into customers to mention the profits of the sideline, but this practice was finally abandoned due to various reasons such as poor management or high price in the later stage.

Perhaps in the eyes of American artists, this practice is a little casual, or they prefer to focus on their own career. The money they earn doesn't have to rely on sidelines to support themselves and their families.

So in his opinion, if Downey really wants to develop his sideline and can make use of his overseas fame, the final benefit will be better than that 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 artists in Europe and America and self created brands opening branches in China and other countries.

But for publicity reasons, unless those real fans, ordinary locals don't know which top artist the owner of this store is.

"Oh, no, man, I tell you, in fact, my first dream was to be a restaurant owner.

During your absence from the United States, I have been patronizing your restaurant. You can't just refuse me. According to your Easterners, it's called injustice. "

Downey patted Li Xianzhe on the shoulder and chattered about his big plan. Of course, the premise of all this is to pull Li Xianzhe in.

He appreciates Li Xianzhe's cooking very much and wants to turn Li Xianzhe into his own personal chef, but obviously this idea is unrealistic.

In addition, Li Xianzhe's cooking is completely different from the American Chinese takeout he has eaten.

Although I can't tell the difference, there is no doubt that because Li Xianzhe is on the crew, the whole crew has given up the idea of eating takeout.

"No, no, no, I think this is a crazy practice, Donny. Although restaurants make money, they are also the most likely 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 can't help interrupting Downey's idea.

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

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

"Lee, don't you think this is a great plan? But you're right. There are too many restaurants in the United States. At present, I really haven't heard of any Chinese restaurant that is very popular.

How about this? Let's choose a place in other places. I'll be the boss. You can specify the menu and act as the general manager. The two of us work together and then pull Kevin in. Our restaurant will be very popular. "

Li Xianzhe looked at each other speechless. He admitted that he underestimated Donny's enthusiasm for Chinese food.

Downey in his life is definitely the most enthusiastic person he has ever seen about China. He not only likes Chinese food, but also has a lot of traditional Chinese medicine doctors around him.

During the fitness before and after his role in iron man, he also hired international experts to learn kung fu. There is a wooden stake used to practice Wing Chun boxing in his family.

"And as you said before, many ingredients can't be bought in the U.S. market. In that case, we might as well set up an overseas company to test the water first, just... South Korea?

yes! How about Korea? Oh, my God, I forgot this, li... You told me before that you have a lot of real estate in Seoul? Take out one as a shop and decorate it. What's the location of the restaurant for both of us? "

“……”

Can't the United States just South Korea? This change of thinking made Li Xianzhe point to each other for a long time and couldn't speak.

At this time, he was convinced that he was surrounded by the other party. Indeed, he had a lot of real estate in Seoul, which was a few years ago. I didn't expect the other party to remember.
