After the twenty-minute meeting, Yang Dongxu could finally take a breath: "The cost of buying vegetables in the morning was 489 yuan 6. I didn't calculate the remaining vegetables carefully. After throwing away the labor cost, the total profit was... 223 yuan 3. I'll go, what? That’s it.”
Seeing the last figure, Yang Dongxu looked disgusted. If the two hundred yuan were divided equally among five people, it would be more than forty yuan. He was almost exhausted from all the busy work. It would be better for Zhou Ya to sell steamed buns all morning. Earn more.
"More than two hundred is not enough. How much do you want?" Old Man Xuan glared at Yang Dongxu.
"Everything is half price today. It's already good to make money. Didn't you say you would lose money for a week to cultivate repeat customers at the beginning?" Although Wu Aibing had several thousand dollars in his hands from the business of selling assembled bicycles, he didn't feel that way. I made less money today.
"Who wants to lose money when they can make money?" Yang Dongxu looked pained: "The original price will be restored tomorrow. Selling at half price is too much."
"But the three-day big reward is clearly written on the sign at the door." Zhou Ya was also distressed at the half-price offer, but she was a little more sensible than Yang Dongxu.
"Then three days, no more. After the three days mentioned before, don't post the 20% off notices for the next four days. That's all money." Think about how much more than a thousand dollars flew by today. After leaving, Yang Dongxu found it difficult to breathe.
That's more than a thousand yuan, and now he doesn't even have a dollar in his pocket. His life has been very frustrating these days, and he can no longer do business at the expense of his family's fortune. Yesterday I saw a very good item that I didn’t even have the money to buy, but it was snatched away by a middle-aged man. It makes me feel sad just thinking about it.
After the accounting was done, everyone had a general idea in their hearts, so everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers. After being scared for so long, I can go home and have a good sleep this time.
The next day, there was no need for Yang Dongxu to ask for help. The diners who had eaten a very cost-effective meal went back and said this. In addition, the decoration of Yang Jiayan's shop was indeed high-end and they could definitely show it off. So the business was booming at noon the next day. stand up.
There was no room in the hall downstairs, so four private rooms on the second floor were reserved, one of which was the largest. Yang Dongxu rejected the suggestion of setting up a few more tables in the backyard or at the door, letting late-arriving diners queue up.
He would rather serve tea for free at the door, let the waiter say something nice, or make the diners feel a little dissatisfied, than turn his big hotel into a roadside stall where he can add tables or share tables at will. The taste and style are cultivated slowly. He doesn't want Yang's Banquet to be the same concept as a food stall in the minds of diners.
Yang Dongxu was still watching in the restaurant at night. He did not go to the second floor, but was in the backyard, watching the waiters passing and serving the dishes, as well as the assistant cooks and head chefs in the back kitchen.
Constant reminders that the order of serving dishes cannot be changed on a first-come, first-served basis, as well as the concept of priority service for guests in the private rooms. Let these waiters and chefs form a habit in the details, so as to prevent the store cabinets you ordered from becoming a strip of waste paper.
The hotel was still closed at night, and even though a few more guests came later and wanted to book a private room for dinner, they declined. Rules are accumulated bit by bit. Now that they have been set, they must be implemented according to the rules. As for using the rules flexibly, Yang Dongxu does not need this now.
In the evening, he continued to calculate the accounts and found that the amount of money earned finally exceeded 500, which gave Yang Dongxu peace of mind.
On the third day, the Yang Family Banquet continued to be popular, and its reputation began to spread in Wangfujing Street, and even in the entire Dongcheng District.
After three days, all dishes returned to their original prices, and the hot scene became much deserted. The profit in the evening was only over 400, which was more than the first day, but less than the previous two days.
"How about we follow the previous plan and introduce the 20% discount to attract a bunch of customers?" Wu Aibing suggested looking at the final profit.
"Since the original price has been restored, let's continue to implement it. Although the price reduction business is better now, it will make customers think that we often have discounts here, so they will wait for discounts before coming back to eat. This is not good." Yang Dongxu shook. shook his head.
Listening to Yang Dongxu's rejection, Old Man Xuan showed no expression. Nalan Yi, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Yang Dongxu thoughtfully and thought to himself, this little guy is really what Lao Xuantou said, a bit extraordinary.
On the fifth day, the hotel was still a little deserted, similar to the fourth day. Yang Dongxu came back from school and took a look without paying much attention. After the past few days of business, he had a good idea and would not be as panicked as before, so he just took a cold check.
After lunch, Yang Dongxu was going to go back to the courtyard to see what old man Xuan had collected for him in the morning, but Dongzi came to the door.
"Has the decision been made?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"I have thought about it. I have been looking for a place for the past two days, so I didn't come over in time and said, I want ten sets of pool tables." Dongzi nodded.
"It will take a week for ten sets. After a week, you tell me a location and I will have someone deliver the items to you." Yang Dongxu estimated the production time and nodded.
"Okay, no problem, it's just..." Dongzi looked a little embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. We are considered friends now, aren't we?"
"Then I'll hide it. The house I built is a bit big and can accommodate twenty billiard tables. The location is also good, so I'm a little tight on money."
"How much payment can you give?" Yang Dongxu frowned.
"Five... I can only give you the money for the three previous sets of pool tables at most. The money for the ten new ones may have to be delayed, but don't worry, I will definitely settle the payment within two months. Qing. If you are worried, I can give you the deed of my house." Dongzi gritted his teeth and said.
"It doesn't matter if the house is deeded or not." Yang Dongxu waved his hand: "Do you know that I didn't want Wu Aibing to have too much involvement with you at the beginning, so why do I want to do business with you now?"
Dongzi looked at Yang Dongxu and shook his head, with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't know what Yang Dongxu meant by what he said now.
"One of the reasons is that I opened this restaurant, and you know the people on the street better than me, so I need your help." Yang Dongxu stretched out a finger and said.
"I understand this. I told you about this the day before you opened. If anyone dares to make a mistake with you, I will break his legs." Dongzi immediately patted his chest to show that he had already done this.
"The second one is that before I opened a restaurant, my sister sold steamed buns in front of the woolen factory on Di'anmen Street. Later, she was bullied by a few young people, so our steamed bun business couldn't continue, so she came here. We're opening a restaurant. I forgot to visit the pier before, so I made preparations in advance this time." Yang Dongxu said casually while leaning on the back of his chair.
"Is there still something like this? Don't worry, something like this..." Dongzi immediately opened his mouth to assure himself, but stopped before he finished speaking. He looked at Yang Dongxu and asked with some uncertainty: "What do you mean? yes?"
"I don't mean anything, I just want to take precautions. If you are really tight on money, you can give me the money after a while. I will help you with it first, but it can't be too long. After all, they still have a lot of money over there. The gang is waiting for dinner."
"Don't worry, I will definitely settle the payment within two months. After all, my place is big enough, and I am waiting to sell more pool tables. If the business is good, I will open more stores. I owe you the money." Where can I get the goods?" Dongzi gave the determined time and said that he would not default on the bill.
"That's good. Leave the address of your newly opened store. Once it's done, I'll have someone deliver it to you directly. I'll know the door when the time comes." Yang Dongxu settled the matter with a smile.
"The relationship is good, then I'll treat you to a nice meal." The smile on Dongzi's face also grew. He didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. He was about to leave his address when he suddenly thought of what happened just now: "That , that thing..."
"That thing? Isn't it settled that you will take the billiard table and pay within two months?" Yang Dongxu blinked and smiled like a little fox, but he turned his head and looked at Dongzi's legs.
"Haha, yes, yes, the matter has been settled. It seems that my mind is a little confused sometimes." Dongzi laughed, then left the address of his billiards room and stood up to leave. When he walked to the door, he turned back to Yang Dongxu An 'I understand' look.
Yang Dongxu smiled, did not speak, and did not nod to indicate anything. He just got up and saw Dongzi to the door of the store very enthusiastically.
"You're busy with your business. There's no need to send it away. There's no need to send it away." Dongzi waved his hands and said a few polite words. He didn't know why he used honorifics for Yang Dongxu, a little kid.
"Why did he come to the store?" Old man Xuan appeared behind Yang Dongxu at some point.
"I'm talking about Old Man Xuan, do you know that being scary can scare people to death?" Old Man Xuan's voice suddenly came from behind, startling Yang Dongxu.
"You can be scared to death if you don't have any ghosts in your heart?" Old Man Xuan stared closely into Yang Dongxu's eyes, "Why is he in the store?"
"What else can we do? Let's talk business. Wu Aibing also knows about the pool table. It was the thing that was placed in our backyard on the opening day." Yang Dongxu said nonchalantly.
"Didn't you tell Xiao Bing not to talk to him some time ago? Why did you get in on him yourself?" Old Man Xuan frowned and looked at Yang Dongxu in confusion.
"Isn't this one and the same? Just like when we open a restaurant, you can still control whether the people who come to eat are officials or street pickers?
The billiards room thing is considered a good business, but most people can't do it. People like Dongzi, who are mixed in society, are the most suitable. If you don't look for him, who can you look for? Don't worry, it's just normal business. I only sell pool tables and don't get involved in other things. "Yang Dongxu raised his hand to make a pledge.
"I know you have a good brain, but sometimes I can't see clearly what you do. But you have to remember that those who drown are those who know how to use water, and they can't do it for a lifetime. You are not the only smart person in this world. ." Old man Xuan put away his serious expression and looked at Yang Dongxu with some warning and some worry.
"Don't worry, don't worry, even if I'm not a good person like you said, I'm not a bad person either? Come on, let's go to the backyard to drink tea.
I suddenly thought of a new dish that you must have never tried before. I’ll talk to Grandpa Yi and see if we can make it. If we can, it will be so delicious that you won’t be able to shut up. "Yang Dongxu diligently helped old man Xuan rub his arms and the two of them walked towards the backyard.
