The lobby manager said that his heart was a little surging. He really felt that such a good boss was really hard to find even with a lantern.
Seeing that the business in the store is getting worse day by day, how can other employees not know that he doesn't know?
The boss has already started to pay for the loss out of his own pocket. The monthly loss figures are scary to death. If the business does not improve, he doesn't know how long his boss can sustain it!
As old employees in the store, they have long regarded this store as their own. They are more anxious than anyone else when the business is not good, but it is useless for them to be anxious. The customers are willing to go to those newly opened luxury restaurants to eat. Some old customers who have been accustomed to the taste are coming to support, and the income is just a drop in the bucket to maintain the operation of the store.
Yu Changle's eyes rested on several signs stacked in the corner of the hotel, which contained information about various new products and activities. It seemed that the boss had not given up, but had been thinking of ways.
Speaking of which, Yu Changle is a senior foodie. He started researching fat loss and fitness because he loved eating so much and in order to control his weight and maintain health.
She is not picky about what she eats, and she cannot forget the dishes of Yangcheng Restaurant. So why can't she compete with other restaurants even with such a huge discount? This only shows that the problem is not the price.
Comparing the hotels that have taken away the business of Yangcheng Restaurant, they are all newly opened high-end hotels with luxurious decoration and complete facilities. The taste may not be much different, and the price may not be much different, but the dining environment is like a world away.
The lobby manager also said that Yangcheng Restaurant has been open for forty-five years, and it must have been renovated and improved during this period.
However, it seems that it was just a small job of painting and refurbishing some worn-out tables, chairs and benches. The chandeliers on the ceiling are old-fashioned, and electric fans are used to cool down in summer.
This kind of configuration may be sufficient in Jinbo, but it is not enough in Yangcheng, the forefront of reform and opening up.
People in Yangcheng have high incomes, and the little money they can save through discounts is not as important as face when treating guests. Of course, they will be outshone by the newly opened and luxuriously decorated hotels.
Really unwilling to see such a time-honored brand be eliminated by the times, Yu Changle couldn't help but suggest:
"I think your food is very delicious, and it completely retains the taste of Laoyang City. It is definitely no worse than other newly opened high-end restaurants. The only thing that may be lacking is the dining environment."
"I would like to give your boss a suggestion: go check out other restaurants with good business and completely renovate Yangcheng Restaurant according to current standards. Business will definitely improve."
The lobby manager had a wry smile on his face: "My boss has also thought of the suggestion you made. He also invited a construction team that specializes in decorating foreign joint venture hotels to come and have a look at the site. But the decoration cost is simply astronomical. For people like us, Traditional old stores are really unaffordable.”
Hearing the astronomical figures, Jiang Yu also became interested. How much renovation costs would be needed for an old store that has been open for 45 years to afford it?
"Tell me, let me know. How much does it cost to renovate this old store?"
Seeing that he didn't believe it, the lobby manager explained to him:
"The newly opened joint-venture hotels are usually three or four stories high, so they look grand. If our hotel wants to look similar, we have to build two more floors."
"As for the interior decoration, I have also seen it. Each floor of those stores is covered with carpets, which adds up to thousands of square meters. In addition, all the new tables, chairs and benches are equipped. If you want it to be bright enough, twelve crystal lights A chandelier is indispensable.”
"There are also the most advanced air conditioners at present. That one is worth a lot of money. How many are needed for a three-story building? These alone add up to a large amount, not counting tiling, painting, and ceilings. This construction team Come here once, and I will gain some knowledge, you have to spend money everywhere."
It sounds like the expense is indeed not small. Jiang Yu asked curiously: "How much is it specifically?"
The lobby manager stretched out a hand and gave a thumb, as if he was afraid that the number would flash out of his mouth.
Jiang Yu looked at it and said "Ouch":
"I thought it was about 40,000 yuan, right? Your store has been open for forty-five years. Can the boss afford this money?"
Forty thousand yuan may indeed be an astronomical figure to ordinary people. The average monthly salary of Yangcheng citizens is 40 yuan, which is 480 yuan a year, which is double that of Jinbo citizens. But if you want to save 40,000 yuan, Yuan, if you have to save it for more than eighty years without eating or drinking, it is basically a goal that cannot be achieved in this life.
But for businessmen, 40,000 yuan doesn't seem so far away. Although Jiang Yu can't afford 40,000 yuan in cash, his total wealth is more than 40,000 yuan, so he doesn't trust Yangcheng Restaurant at all. The boss couldn't come up with 40,000 yuan.
The lobby manager had a strange look on his face, and Yu Changle thought that he wanted... 400,000?
With the current income level, if decoration requires an average person to earn eight hundred years, it would indeed be an astronomical figure.
The lobby manager shook his head helplessly, and his liver trembled when he thought of that number:
"If it really cost 40,000, we would have renovated it long ago. Don't believe me when I tell you, it's really that price."
"Stop being so pretentious and tell me, how much is it?"
Jiang Yu couldn't guess how much it could be if it wasn't 40,000.
The lobby manager was not showing off, but the number was really hot. He was afraid that he would have nightmares when he went back at night.
Words came out of his mouth one by one: "Four! One hundred! Ten thousand!"
"How much?! Four million - ten thousand?!"
Jiang Yu was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair, and his eyes almost fell out of his sockets. Was there something wrong with what the lobby manager said, or was there something wrong with his ears?
He turned to look at Yu Changle who was also shocked with a look of disbelief on his face:
"Did you hear clearly? How much did he say?"
Even Yu Changle, who came later, was shocked from ear to ear by this number. This was the 1980s when the per capita monthly income was 20 yuan. How could the number four million appear in this era?
The lobby manager looked at the shocked two people with a clear face. He must have said it a long time ago, the decoration cost is an astronomical figure.
Yu Changle was no longer calm. She also suspected that there was something wrong with her ears:
"You said four million?"
The lobby manager nodded. Although 40,000 yuan was already a large expense, his boss said that even if it was 400,000 yuan and he went bankrupt and asked someone to borrow it, he would be willing to raise 400,000 yuan to bring this old store back to life.
But this is four million. Even if the Yangcheng Restaurant is sold, it will not be enough for a fraction!
Therefore, even though they know that they can revive the dead through decoration, they can only look back and sigh...
