I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Chapter 286 The Energetic Shopkeepers

But Gu Ji put himself in the shoes of the poor boy who didn't have his sister's golden finger and imagined it.

I began to understand these people's thoughts a little bit.

There is no good in the world without reason.

No one would push a profitable business away like they did at home.

People don’t believe it, and rightly so.

Gu Ji asked Gu Dajiang, "Second Uncle, what are you going to do next?"

"It's okay. There will always be someone willing to try. As long as one person starts it for them, the rest will not be difficult." Gu Dajiang said confidently.

He just couldn't believe that there was no one in the entire Zesheng County who was willing to give it a bold try.

"Second Uncle, what do you need me to do? Just tell me." Gu Ji said.

"Okay, let's finish the things at hand first, and then we'll go out together to look for someone." Gu Dajiang patted his nephew's shoulder and said.

"Okay." Gu Ji responded.

After the uncle and nephew finished speaking, the shopkeepers basically came to a conclusion.

The following auction went very smoothly.

Except for a few individuals, I didn’t get to take pictures of the food I really wanted.

But I also took some other photos, and got some good results.

Shopkeeper Dong even took a photo of the hot pot restaurant's recipe. He loved the taste of this hot pot the most, so he spared no expense and spent a lot of money to take the photo.

The Gu family earned 500,000 taels of silver from this food auction.

Both parties felt it was worth it.

Next, Gu Dajiang took out the contract he had prepared in advance and filled in the specific contents that had been agreed upon one by one. Everyone came forward one by one, found their own copy, signed and put their fingerprints on it.

After finishing the signing process, Gu Dajiang gathered everyone and said, "Dear owners, we will be partners from now on! I hope everyone will work together and run the business well, so that we can earn back the money we spent today."

Everyone was full of energy and responded happily: "Okay, we will work hard and make back the money we spent, double it."

"As long as everyone works hard, I believe it will succeed." Gu Dajiang said affirmatively.

Everyone believed this without a doubt.

"If any of you have a shop, you can stand on my left. If the shop still needs some time to prepare, please stand on my right." Gu Dajiang said to everyone.

Upon hearing this, the owners and managers of each business started to move and soon adjusted their positions.

Gu Dajiang saw that everyone was standing on both sides, and then he continued: "Okay, if there are shops, I will let the housekeepers go with you to the shops for inspection later.

If there is anything inappropriate, they will suggest improvements on the spot. You can write it down first, and if you feel any difficulty, you can come back to me.

Once the store is adjusted, you can operate it normally. "

When the shop owners heard this, they all showed joy on their faces.

If they still had doubts before, after experiencing the Gu family’s delicious food today, all their doubts were dispelled.

When they heard Gu Dajiang's words, it was as if they saw money waving at them.

The Gu family's food recipes and business models are the first of their kind in the entire Daxia!

Moreover, after the Gu family sold it to them, they did not restrict them from doing business in other places.

There are plenty of blank markets waiting for them to explore. How can they not be excited?

Everyone is eager to get started and can’t wait to open for business tomorrow.

"Jier, talk to the housekeepers and ask them to go back with the shop managers to plan the shops." Gu Dajiang said to Gu Ji.

"Yes, second uncle." Gu Ji replied.

While his second uncle was speaking, Gu Ji gathered all the intelligent robots together, then changed their respective focuses, restored them to all-around mode, and gave them instructions, telling them what to do next.

After the intelligent robots received the instructions completely, Gu Ji nodded secretly to his second uncle.

Gu Dajiang received his nephew's signal and changed the subject to the shop owners, saying, "Butlers, we have already given instructions. Those of you who have shops can take one back first and let him see if there are any deficiencies in your shop or if there is anything that needs to be renovated.

Just tell them what you want to sell in your future shop, and they will be able to give you a reasonable plan. Just take note of it, and come to me anytime if you have any questions."

"It's Mr. Gu. We'll take our leave first."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu. We will go back to clean up the shop first."

For a moment, all the shopkeepers were in high spirits and said goodbye to General Gu.

Then he walked politely to the "housekeepers", invited them, and each family took an intelligent housekeeper back.

Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.

The shop owners who didn't have any shops were staring at the backs of the departing shop owners with a somewhat depressed look.

Their eyes were filled with envy and disappointment.

Gu Dajiang turned around and saw this scene. He smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged if you don't have a shop for the time being. You can tell us why you don't have a shop and we can discuss whether there is any solution."

Shopkeeper Dong and several shopkeepers near the shopping mall were the first to step forward.

"Boss Gu, our shop is right next to the shopping mall. It's still under construction and it will probably take a few more months to be completed. I don't know if we can open it this year!"

Shopkeeper Dong also said, "Shopkeeper Gu, my shop hasn't started construction yet. It will probably be my turn to build it next year, so I can't open it during this period."

Gu Dajiang thought that what Manager Dong photographed was a hot pot restaurant. Winter is the season for hot pot. If you miss it, you will have to wait for a year for the peak season.

"Jill, do you know when Manager Dong's shop will be built?" Gu Dajiang asked.

Although their own house was built, the craftsmen would still ask Gu Ji for advice from time to time. It was always right to ask the nephew about the construction period.

Gu Ji estimated the time and said, "It will probably be June next year at the earliest."

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Dong felt very disappointed.

Gu Ji then said, "We have a green net to block the renovation of the house, so it won't affect business. Shopkeeper Dong can build the stove first and run the business in the old store first.

If we renovate the house next year, we can rent a shop and start business there.”

"This is a good idea. You can refer to it if you have similar situations. Renting a shop is also feasible. We sell food, so taste and cleanliness are the most important." Gu Dajiang agreed.

"And this hot pot is best eaten in winter. If you can make this, I guarantee you'll be an instant hit."

Shopkeeper Dong no longer hesitated after hearing this, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

Next, Gu Dajiang learned about the reasons why other shop owners did not have shops.

If there is already an existing shop and adding the new food does not conflict with the business, then let the new food open first.

When everyone got together and brainstormed, they actually came up with some good ideas.
