"Welcome, Ming Mei-chan, are you looking for the proprietress again?"

When the clerk in Sakura no Sato saw Akemi walking into the store, she wasn't too surprised. In fact, all employees who have worked in Sakura no Sato for a while basically know Akimi and Reina. Therefore, when Mingmei walked into the store, the other party instinctively thought that Mingmei was here to find the proprietress Sakurako. I saw Mingmei smiled at the other party in a friendly way, and then asked casually:

"Are Reina and Mikiko in the store?"

"Hey, it's all over there, do you want me to take you there!"

"No, thank you, oh, yes! If you're not busy, please give me a cup of Oolong Geisha!"

...

After Mingmei thanked the clerk, she walked straight towards Sakurako and the others who were chatting. After Rena saw her, she moved to make room for Mingmei, and said with a slight complaint:

"Why are you only here now, has Auntie's affairs been settled?"

"Hey...it's really a headache, I think...for the time being, it's better not to let Xiu-chan meet her, I just managed to escape from her under the pretext of work, ah...this time I really I met my opponent!"

"But... the last time I went to France with you, I saw my aunt. I think she seems to be very talkative!"

Hearing Sakurako's doubts. Mingmei said indignantly:

"Hmph, I thought so too at first, but... Now I've learned how powerful she is. Watching a movie together with two people can now lead to love affairs. Why didn't I insist on it in the first place? If not How nice to call her that phone!"

...

Seeing Mingmei's dying expression, Rena on the side didn't show much sympathy. On the contrary, she said to Mingmei with a little teasing.

"All right! All right! We all know you're having a headache right now with the sweet anguish! But... we didn't call you here today to hear you complain about these things. Remember last time you mentioned... together What about opening a barbecue shop?"

"Eh? You called me here because of this. I thought everyone was worried about me, but I was so moved just now!"

"So, aren't you going to join us?"

Seeing that Reina seriously asked herself about running a barbecue restaurant together, Mingmei temporarily restrained the look of pain she had just now, and then saw Mingmei took out her mobile phone to inquire a little, and then her face changed. Playfully asked:

"Is it a barbecue restaurant like this?"

"Uh... I know it's really unreliable to ask you to discuss!"

When Reina and the others saw the photo of Brother Salt on Mingmei's mobile phone, the three of them couldn't help but threw themselves down on the table in despair, and then looked at Mingmei with resentful eyes. And Mingmei, after making a joke, immediately responded in a serious tone:

"Okay! About investing in a barbecue restaurant together, I can only say...why did it take everyone so long to think of this idea? It's clear that the wagyu from Yuzi's house is so delicious, we don't have to worry about the customers' problems at all! Therefore, I am willing to participate in this partnership business plan. It just so happens that I still have some money on hand. You can use it. Even if you really lose money in the future, you don’t have to feel guilty at all, Mrs. Yu, you only need to use it. Wagyu can pay off the debt!"

"Really? Ah... With your words, I will feel more at ease. If this time it is really bad for everyone to lose money, I really can't hold my head up!"

...

Seeing that Mingmei agreed to the idea of ​​investing in a barbecue restaurant without hesitation, Rena and Miko were both very happy. However, among the four people present, only Sakurako is an operator with real business talents, so... she naturally can't be as rambunctious as Mingmei. Seeing that she pondered for a while, she picked up a pen and made a hasty list on the napkin, and then said to everyone seriously:

"Then... If everyone is serious about opening a store this time, then what I'm going to say below is what everyone should seriously consider next."

"Nani? Nani? Is there anything we can do to help?"

"Hey, if we talk about it, the early stage is mainly about purchasing channels, store location, and employee recruitment. Because it's a barbecue restaurant, so... We don't need to recruit those skilled chefs! But as a feature of the store, It's still very important to provide some exquisite finished dishes, so... this aspect... I think it's better for me to be in charge!"

Hearing Sakurako's first statement, Yuko hurriedly took over the topic and solemnly promised:

"As for the purchase channel, please feel free to leave it to me. After all, if the barbecue shop is really operating, the most benefit is my ranch!"

"Miko-chan, purchasing goods is not as easy as it sounds! You must know that our barbecue restaurant specializes in high-end Wagyu beef, and the customer group who can come to consume is not ordinary office workers. If the quality of other dishes is not as good as If you do it, it will leave the impression of rudeness to the customers, so... As for the purchase, it is better for me to ask a familiar supplier for the other dishes in the store except Matsusaka beef!"

Seeing Sakurako taking on the most important job of opening a store in such a responsible manner, Rena and Akemi couldn't help but glance at each other, and then responded to Sakurako together:

"Then...the storefront thing...let us take care of it! Excuse me...what kind of store should we find as our business place?"

"On this point, I think it's more appropriate to find real estate near the bustling business district as a store! But...because our investment this time is not large~lightnovelpub.net~ So...we may not be able to support it. Losing money for a long period of time...so...I think it's better to buy a real estate that is located near a prosperous commercial area."

"Then...the specific budget is..."

Hearing Sakurako's explanation, Akemi asked uncertainly,

"If we pay 30 million yen per person according to the agreement, then the cost of buying the store should be reduced to about 70 million, but...if it's really not enough, don't worry, I still have some funds on hand! "

"Eh? Sakura-chan, don't you still have a loan to repay? Is it really okay to take out so much money at this time?"

"In the case of a loan? If you sell all the Geisha in the forest picked this year to the dealer, it should be enough to pay off all the previous loans!"

"Eh? No! You've...have you paid off all your loans?"

"Well... Except for the interest-free part of the loan, I think... I should already owe the bank nothing!"
