Chapter 1409: Hurry up and prepare!
Their conversation was interrupted by a burst of fragrance from the kitchen. Yu Li walked into the kitchen and said with a smile: "Liu Lan, Brother Zhao, the guests are waiting for your delicious food, hurry up and prepare it!"
Liu Lan and Zhao Aimin looked at each other, then smiled and nodded. They know that the most important thing now is to provide the best service to their guests so that every guest can enjoy a delicious dinner.
So, they worked together and started busy work. Cutting vegetables, making soup, and grilling meat, every dish is a masterpiece carefully made by them, and every guest is their important customer.
Although Liu Lan and Yu Li's Western restaurant business was booming, they found that the start-up capital was still insufficient. To take this restaurant to the next level, they need more funding for expansion and improvements. As a result, Zhao Aimin, Ma Hua and other residents of the courtyard sat together again to discuss how to help Liu Lan and Yu Li solve their financial problems.
"I think we can raise funds through some activities, such as holding a charity sale and selling items donated by residents of the courtyard, and all the proceeds will be used for the development of Western restaurants." Ma Hua suggested.
"This is a good idea. We can organize a literary evening, invite residents from the surrounding communities to come and watch, and raise some funds to support the development of the restaurant." Zhao Aimin added.
Everyone agreed and thought this was a good idea. So, they began to prepare for the uprising fair and artistic evening party.
Preparations for the charity bazaar are in full swing. Residents of the courtyard houses have been searching for items they no longer need in their homes, such as clothes, books, furniture, etc., and preparing to donate them. At the same time, they also contacted some local merchants and enterprises and asked them to provide some items as prizes for the charity sale to attract more people to participate.
Preparations for the literary evening are also in full swing. Zhao Aimin and Ma Hua personally served as organizers. They carefully planned the program and invited some local artists and performance groups to perform to ensure the excitement of the party. At the same time, they also actively contacted some sponsors, hoping to get some sponsorship funds to support the party.
Finally, the charity bazaar and artistic evening were held as scheduled. Residents of the courtyard came to participate one after another, and the scene was very lively. At the bazaar, stalls were filled with various items, and people came in an endless stream to buy. At the literary evening, the wonderful performances attracted a large number of audiences and the atmosphere was warm.
Through these two activities, Liu Lan and Yu Li finally raised enough funds to expand and improve the restaurant. They decided to double the size of the restaurant's kitchen and add more kitchen utensils and equipment to improve work efficiency and the quality of their dishes. At the same time, they also plan to upgrade the restaurant's decoration to make the environment more comfortable and elegant.
With the joint efforts of all residents, the renovation work of the Western restaurant went smoothly and was completed quickly. The new kitchen is more spacious and bright, and is equipped with all kinds of advanced kitchen utensils and equipment, allowing Liu Lan to cook more conveniently. The decoration of the restaurant has also been completely renewed. The exquisite decoration and comfortable environment attract more customers to come and taste the delicious food.
After the renovation of the Western restaurant was completed, Liu Lan and Yu Li's business became even more prosperous, with an endless stream of customers. However, they found that there was still a problem in the operation process, that is, cash flow shortage. Although Zhao Aimin and other Siheyuan residents raised some funds, it was still not enough to support the restaurant's daily operations and development.
"Our cash flow situation is not optimistic, especially since we need to further expand our scale, improve our service level and the quality of our dishes, all of which require large amounts of financial support." Liu Lan said with a frown.
"Yes, we need to find a solution to the funding problem, otherwise the development of the restaurant will be greatly affected." Yu Li also expressed her concerns.
Zhao Aimin thought for a while, "I think we can consider borrowing from banks, which can not only solve our current funding problem, but also help us achieve larger-scale development of the restaurant."
"However, the loan requires a certain amount of collateral, and we don't have much on hand that can be used as collateral." Liu Lan said with some embarrassment.
At this time, MCA stood up and said, "I am willing to volunteer to go to the bank for a loan. I have a house that can be used as collateral."
Zhao Aimin and Liu Lan looked at each other, feeling moved in their hearts. Ma Hua is an old resident of the courtyard. Like Zhao Aimin, Liu Lan and others, he is full of expectations and hopes for the development of Western restaurants.
"MCA, you are so kind! We can't thank you enough!" Yu Li said excitedly.
Ma Hua smiled and said, "This is what I should do. We are a family. Only by supporting each other can we develop together."
So, MCA volunteered to go to the bank to borrow money. After some negotiations, he successfully obtained a loan, which was enough to support the daily operation and development of the western restaurant.
With the support of this fund, Liu Lan and Yu Li started the restaurant expansion plan. They hired more employees, improved service levels, introduced more new dishes, and further improved the quality of Western restaurants. At the same time, they have also increased investment in marketing to attract more customers to taste through various channels.
As time goes by, the business of the Western restaurant is getting better and better, and its reputation gradually spreads. People come here one after another and become regular customers. Every day, the restaurant is bustling with activity and laughter.
Under the careful management of Liu Lan and Yu Li, the Western restaurant has gradually become a landmark building in the courtyard, adding a bright color to this small community. People often gather here, enjoy delicious food and talk about life.
MCA's actions were also appreciated and respected by the residents of the courtyard, and he became a hero in everyone's eyes. He used his actions to interpret the spirit of mutual help among neighbors, which deeply moved and inspired everyone.
Liu Lan and Yu Li decided to add a Russian-style Western restaurant based on the original Western restaurant. This decision caused cheers from the residents of the courtyard.
"Russian-style Western restaurant? It sounds very unique!" Ma Hua said excitedly.
"Yes, in this way, our restaurants will be more diverse and able to attract more customers." Zhao Aimin also agreed.
Liu Lan and Yu Li began intense preparations. They found a professional Russian chef and asked him about the preparation methods and taste combinations of many Russian dishes.
