Shen Dong and his two companions had come to check on the progress of the renovations.
All thirty-one stores were being renovated uniformly.
By observing the progress at one store, they could generally gauge the status of the others.
The renovations alone had cost Shen Dong ten million yuan, a significant investment.
Moreover, Shen Dong would need to continue pouring money into the venture because all the equipment and furniture had to be purchased and replaced with new ones.
All of Meizizi Hot Pot's old furnishings had been cleared out and discarded.
For this aspect of the investment, Shen Dong's budget was another ten million yuan.
Earlier, while in Chen Yuanxiang's office, Shen Dong had transferred twenty million yuan directly into the account of the Shuidilao company.
By providing ample funds, Shen Dong made it easier for Chen Yuanxiang to work without worrying about finances, focusing solely on doing the job well.
All these investments were worthwhile.
