Chapter 244: Shocking Sales
Lu Jincheng nodded. He would definitely not provide for his father's old age. If his father really came to find him at that time, he would rush out directly.
He even wanted to kill a few of them.
It's just that murder is against the law, and he thought that if he died, no one would take care of his sister.
Lu Jincheng did a great job in the bakery. He was so hardworking that he could do the work of two people.
He did everything he could in the front and back rooms of the kitchen.
His sister Lu Jinyi was indeed very well behaved as he said. She didn't run around like other children. Su He got her a sketchbook and colored pencils, and the little girl sat obediently at the bar and drew.
With Changjun and Changhuan around, the three kids had a great time.
Changjun and Changhuan are 11 years old this year. In the eyes of their older sister and brother Changyi and Changan, they are just children, but they feel that they are already big kids.
Especially compared with little Lu Jinyi.
He acts like an older brother or sister, always taking care of me.
The billiard hall has currently recruited three employees, Lu Jincheng is one, and the other two are classmates Jiang Yueying and Xu Ying.
two little girls.
We are still short of a store manager, a waiter and a cleaner.
By the end of March, when the billiard shop was renovated and completed, the store manager had not yet found a suitable person.
The cleaning staff and waiter were found.
There are three male and two female waiters.
They are Lu Jincheng, He Zhizhi, Ye Shuang, Xue Mu, and Chen Yuan.
Cleaning lady, Aunt Jiang.
Lu Jincheng is 16 years old, He Zhizhi is 20 years old, Ye Shuangye is 20, Xue Mu is 19, and Chen Yuan is 18.
There is no suitable store manager yet. Su He thought about it and decided that she could only transfer someone from other stores. She went to the tobacco shop and talked to Wei Lan.
"Lanlan, you go show me the billiard hall, and let your husband show me the tobacconist shop. I'll let Chen Yuan go to the clothing store."
Wei Lan is very steady in her work. She is relieved that the waiters she recruited are too young. They are all young people. The store needs a manager who can control the situation.
Wei Lan, "Okay, sister. I'll take over from him in the next few days."
Wei Lan's husband He Chunxu had worked in the tobacco and alcohol hotel for a few days and was very familiar with it and easy to get started.
After some staff changes, the sixth store, a billiard hall, opened in Soho in early April.
Su He observed the business models of other billiard shops and learned some things from the system book. For example, during the first year of opening, any customer who entered the store could play billiard for half an hour for free.
Besides, playing billiard takes at least two hours, so this is the money she earns from the last few hours.
When she told Gu Jianhua about this idea, he was worried about losing money. But when the billiard hall's monthly turnover came out, he was stunned.
The billiard hall has a monthly turnover of NT$10,000 in net profit.
Not to mention Gu Jianhua, in fact even Su He was a little stunned. It cost a lot of money to buy a shop, tables, chairs and benches for the renovation of the billiard hall.
More than the other five stores.
But Su He didn't have much hope for the billiard hall. She thought it would be good if she could earn two thousand a month.
But she didn't expect to make ten thousand.
But it makes sense when you think about it. Her billiard hall is newly opened, with a good environment, good service, and a full range of snacks and drinks.
In addition, with the gimmick that every customer who enters the store can play for free for half an hour, there will always be a lot of customers.
And it’s 500 square meters, such a large area.
Wei Lan said that there are a lot of guests every day, especially on Saturdays and Sundays, when many college students come to play.
As the saying goes, you learn something from your work. Before she worked in the tobacco, alcohol and tea shop, she had no idea that so many people would buy tobacco, alcohol and tea every day.
Similarly, before coming to the billiard hall, she never thought that there would be so many people playing billiards every day.
The sales of the six stores in April exceeded 20,000, totaling 23,000.
Gu Jianhua was also happy that the shop he opened was profitable. He said,
"Wife, if we keep going this way, we'll be able to make back the money we invested in the billiard hall in less than half a year."
“It won’t take half a year, I can earn it back in three months,” Su He said.
Gu Jianhua: "Wife, when will our seventh shop open?"
He now thinks that the more shops he opens and the better the business, the better.
Su He smiled, "Are you going to open the seventh store now? Let's be calm and open the seventh store in the second half of the year."
“We open two a year.”
“One in the first half of the year and one in the second half of the year.”
Gu Jianhua, "Okay, daughter-in-law, I'll listen to you."
The April sales figure is out, so of course the boss Su He has to pay the employees.
She would pay wages on the tenth of every month, which would be ten days' wages.
However, Lu Jincheng's situation was special. Su He had previously given him an advance of ten yuan to send his sister to kindergarten.
The little girl stayed in the bakery for more than half a month, ate well, drank well, slept well, and gained weight.
Gu's mother and Su's mother were kind-hearted. They took clothes that were too small for Changyun and Changhuan, altered them, and gave them to Lu Jinyi.
All the clothes that Changjun and Changhuan had were good, not a single one was patched, and not a single one was dirty.
After Gu's mother and Su's mother altered the clothes, they would wash them and then iron them before sending them away.
They would not give torn and dirty clothes to other children, because the torn and dirty clothes were used as rags by the mother-in-law.
With ten yuan, Lu Jincheng paid one month's tuition for his sister's kindergarten, and also bought her shoes, as well as daily necessities for the two siblings.
There wasn't much money left.
By the time Su He paid his salary, he had only one dollar left in his pocket.
Just connected.
After receiving an advance of ten yuan, Su He gave me thirty yuan.
Thirty yuan is really a lot of money. He has never received so much money since he was a child.
He planned to keep twenty dollars, and with the remaining ten dollars he wanted to go to the department store to buy himself a pair of shoes and clothes. However, he couldn't afford ready-made clothes, so he could only buy cloth and asked his grandmother and others to help him make them.
Then buy half a pound of White Rabbit milk candy for his sister.
Perfect.
Jiang Yueying and Jiang Siqi, the brother and sister, are very thoughtful. Jiang Yueying's salary increased to 50 yuan, but she did not tell her family and brother about the increase.
I told my brother that it had risen to 40, the same as his.
The brother and sister made another plan and decided not to tell their family about the salary increase and just keep it at the previous thirty.
Pay twenty yuan back home.
In this way, Jiang Yueying has 30 yuan of private money, and Jiang Siqi has 20 yuan of private money.
Twenty or thirty dollars a month is enough for them to spend, and they feel like they can’t spend it all.
Jiang Yueying wanted to save money to buy a watch.
Jiang Siqi bought himself a set of jeans.
Hongjun and Qingmu go out to set up a stall every day. Business is good, making at least one hundred yuan a day. If they continue like this, they will be able to save enough money to buy a stall during the summer vacation before the end of the year.
Then earn enough money to buy a house by the end of the year.
The Red Army soldier Aoki and his partner wanted to save 6,000 yuan to buy a shop, but the prices in Beijing shops were getting more expensive every year.
They were afraid that saving three or four thousand yuan might not be enough.
But selling clothes on the street can make a lot of money, and both of them are very happy, especially Hongjun. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to marry his daughter Yingzi this summer.
He didn't know what Yingzi's request was. Hongjun was a straightforward person and couldn't keep things to himself, so when he had this thought, he went over to ask.
Xu Ying thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any requirements. I'll just leave it to my parents!"
Hongjun: "Then go ask your uncle and aunt."
Xu Ying went to ask, and Xu's father and mother didn't actually have many requirements for their son-in-law, but they still wanted something.
Just say, "The bride price is 500 yuan, a bicycle and a watch."
"For this premise, you must have a shop."
Compared to shops, houses are not expensive.
Xu Ying told the Red Army about these demands.
This requirement might have been difficult ten years ago, but it is a piece of cake now.
"No problem, wife."
Xu Ying was embarrassed. She covered her face and stamped her feet, "Who is your wife? You are shameless."
Red Army, "Yes, you are."
