Chapter 493 It’s stable!
Nan Rongquan paused for a moment, a subtle smile curling his lips. "Your last set could be considered to have completely abandoned the concept of a theme. It was simply a feast that started well but ended poorly, catering to the guests' tastes and dietary restrictions. As for why it started well but ended poorly, the two of you who prepared it know very well. You were too scheming, and instead of cooking, you were scheming against your teammates. In the end, it was only thanks to your scheming against your teammates that the feast was finally complete. Perhaps this was part of your plan, but I hope you'll remember what Teacher Dang said just now: competition is about overall strength, not cunning."
"It seems that Zhao Duo's table also has a story!"
"No, there are only two groups. Are they all so exciting? Is it because our group is too boring?"
"We call this peace! It's those two groups that are too ostentatious. Haven't you heard? Simplicity is the truest thing!"
"True, but you can stir up trouble even during a competition. Aren't you afraid of being hated?"
"Don't worry about who their captain is. Why would they be afraid of being hated?"
Following Nan Rongquan's comments, the contestants' seats at the front started talking again. The moment the fat man heard Nan Rongquan didn't scold him, he leaned back in his chair again, crossed his legs, and listened with a smile as the contestants continued to blame him, as if he was not afraid of being bitten by lice.
"Let's get back to the point. Praise is praise, criticism is criticism. In this first section, we deducted 7 points and scored 13 points."
13 points. Zhao Xiaojing looked at the fat man in surprise. Her score was higher than Yu Yiyuan and his team's!
"Okay, let's move on to the third part, profit." Dang Yongge opened the second folder calmly.
The assistant who read the data came on stage again, "Team 2, turnover 18,552 yuan, ingredient purchase cost 7,451.2 yuan, gross profit 11,100.8 yuan, gross profit margin 59.8%, total cost 9,802.03 yuan, net profit 1,298.77 yuan, net profit margin 7%..."
"It's stable!" The assistant was still reading, and the fat man had already quickly browsed through the data on the big screen, and instantly smiled.
Zhao Xiaojing also found out the human cost time of their group.
The first place was Lu Pengyun and her, with 16.1 hours, the second was Gu Yanghui and his teammates, both with 15.8 hours, and the third was Zhao Duo, with 15.3 hours. The fourth, fifth, sixth, and tenth places all had the same time as Zhao Duo, 15.3 hours.
What did Lu Yunpeng and I do extra to make it take the longest? And Gu Yanghui was second? And everyone else took the same amount of time?
Zhao Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, then she thought about it and immediately understood that Lu Pengyun and herself had one more time to buy groceries than the others. Gu Yanghui and the others also went to buy groceries by themselves on the first day. Although the two groups were separated, they went together and left together. On the second day, Zhao Xiaojing and Lu Pengyun had to buy groceries so they left early. Like the others, they took the bus and went there at the same time, so their time was naturally about the same.
But in comparison, Yu Yiyuan's group worked more than three hours longer than hers, and the lowest total working time was only 9.3 hours, which was even more outrageous...
"What on earth were Yu Yiyuan's group doing with 9.3 hours?" Zhao Xiaojing was puzzled and wanted to discuss it with the fat man. When she turned around, she found that the fat man was fiddling with his phone with his head down again.
"I'm asking." said the fat man.
"Ask Wen Xinyuan? How would he know?"
"Yu Yiyuan's group sat behind him. He was close. I saw him turning his head to gossip just now."
"You two are really inseparable. You're always paying attention to each other even when sitting so far away from each other." Zhao Xiaojing smiled and glanced at the fat man's rapidly typing hands, and continued to observe the data of her own group.
"We talked about the calculation method of our competition profit in the previous group, so I won't repeat it. Let me briefly talk about the performance of this group." After the assistant finished reading the data, Dang Yongge picked up the microphone wearing reading glasses.
This group's gross profit margin and net profit margin both met the target, as evidenced by the similar manpower and time spent by the players. While the total cost of this group was higher than the previous group for the same four sets of seats, the net profit increased by nearly 2.5%. While this may not seem like much, the difference is actually significant.
Simply put, it's the principle that if one person goes fast, a group of people can go far. While the second group wasn't a complete group, it still seemed more cohesive than the first. One could even say that if the second group had performed just like the first three groups, or if the fourth group had performed at the same level as the first three groups, they would have received a perfect score from us.
Some things appear simple when presented with data, but if you remove the unpleasant incident in the second group, you'll find that their coordination from the moment they bought groceries was flawless, and their time management was also very reasonable. Therefore, even though overall labor costs were higher, the material utilization rate, loss rate, and shared costs were lower, and the net profit margin still met the target. Of course, this doesn't mean that the conflicts between them had no impact. A closer look at the data for these four tables clearly reveals which one was lagging behind.
So overall, we deducted 5 points for this and scored 15 points.”
The table that lagged behind was of course Gu Yanghui's. Even though Zhao Xiaojing took over the grocery shopping for the next day and had slightly controlled the expenses, the two groups were divided into two teams, and many of the things they bought were repeated. In addition, Gu Yanghui and his companions also spent a lot of money when buying and preparing the ingredients themselves on the first day. The quality of the ingredients they bought was average, but the overall cost-effectiveness was not high.
But even so, Zhao Xiaojing and Fatty were still very happy.
It's only the third block now, but the total score should be almost the same as Yu Yiyuan's team's.
The fourth aspect is the stability of the food. It can be said that all the three and a half sets of dishes are produced by Fatty Fang. The first three sets are carefully selected by everyone. Some dishes are even cooked in one pot. The stability is naturally strong. After affirming the meal preparation mode, Dang Yongge gave a high score of 16 points for the first time.
The fat man only glanced at the score, and when everyone on the court exclaimed excitedly, he pulled Zhao Xiaojing to share the latest gossip.
"We guessed it right. Yu Yiyuan's team is divided into three camps!"
"It really split into three parties! This is too divisive. What happened?" Even though she guessed it right, Zhao Xiaojing was still a little surprised.
"Yu Yiyuan's vice-captain, the one with the surname Pei, lost the competition against Yu Yiyuan and was later resurrected, right? Yu Yiyuan was chosen for the group."
"Uh-huh?"
"He was the one who took the lead! He was said to have been unwilling to accept his defeat, and he was the last one chosen in the vice-captain group. Yu Yiyuan was the only one left, so they chose him."
"Yes, that's true." Zhao Xiaojing nodded, and recalled the scene of the grouping at that time.
