Chapter 327 How many commercial houses should I buy?
Soho becomes busy after school starts.
The ice-boiled lamb restaurant that Gu Jianhua was going to open started to be renovated after the Chinese New Year. However, because the store is large, the renovation will take a longer time. It has not been completed yet, but he has already started recruiting people.
Back of the kitchen: four meat cutters, one pot maker, four cutters and two dishwashers.
Front of house: one store manager, one assistant store manager, one supervisor, eight waiters, six food servers, two cashiers, and two cleaners.
The total number of staff in the front hall and back kitchen is about 30, but it's normal. Restaurants have more staff than other stores. In the past, even a small pancake shop still needed four or five people.
Not to mention a large store like Bingzhu Lamb which covers several hundred square meters.
Although Gu Jianhua is in full charge of the Ice-Boiled Lamb Shop, Su He has to take care of the situation in the shop. For example, when it comes to clothing, it’s okay for a small shop, but for a big shop like this, the clothing must be unified!
"Jianhua, let me order some clothes for your hot pot restaurant." Su He said to Gu Jianhua.
Gu Jianhua heard this and said, "Oh, I was so busy that I forgot about it."
"Sorry for the trouble, wife."
Su He smiled, "You're being polite to me."
"The clothes have our Ice-boiled Lamb Restaurant logo printed on them. In summer, they wear short-sleeved tops and pants with an apron. In winter, they wear long-sleeved pants and aprons. They are the clothes of waiters and cashiers."
"The back of the house staff should all wear a white chef's hat. Oh, and the front of house staff should also wear a hair net bag. Otherwise, what will happen if the female employees' hair falls into the pot?"
Gu Jianhua, "Yes, where are the cleaning lady's clothes?"
Su He, "The cleaning lady's clothes are the same as those of the waiters, except that they don't have to wear pants or aprons."
The cleaning lady is usually in charge of cleaning the bathroom and corridor, and mopping the restaurant floor. It’s also the cleaning lady’s job, but it’s not a lot of work actually.
The same goes for waiters and waitresses. They are responsible for serving food, clearing the table after the guests leave, and taking the pots, bowls, and dishes on the table to the kitchen.
The waiter is responsible for taking orders, serving food, pouring tea and bringing drinks to the guests. After the guests leave, the waiter will clear the table. The dishes do not need to be washed, but are sent directly to the kitchen for the dishwasher to wash. The wine glasses and tea cups will be washed by the waiter.
Su He thinks that her arrangement is quite good compared to other hotels. Other hotels have no cleaning staff and all the work is done by the waiters.
After listening to Su He's explanation, Gu Jianhua agreed very much, "My dear wife, your arrangement is very reasonable."
"By the way, should we adjust the wages? We can't keep it the same as before. The staff in our hot pot restaurant are different from those in other restaurants."
Su He said, "Yes, they need to be adjusted. For example, waiters have to face customers directly, and their work must be more than that of waiters and cleaners."
"How about this: waiters get 68 yuan a month, and waiters, cashiers, and cleaners get 65 yuan a month."
"The store manager, deputy store manager, and foreman are the same as in a billiard hall."
Gu Jianhua: "Okay."
Su He, "Where are the kitchen staff?"
Gu Jianhua thought for a moment and said, "The meat cutter's salary is 88, the side dish 78, and the dish washer 65. Do you think this is okay, wife?"
Because hot pot restaurants are different from other restaurants, they don't need cooking, which means they don't need technical staff. Other hotels must hire a skilled chef to take charge.
Anyone can be a meat cutter in a hot pot restaurant after practicing for two days. It goes without saying that a chef who makes side dishes can just serve the dishes on a plate. It’s such a simple job that anyone can do it.
The meat-cutting chef only cooks staple food when customers order it, such as fried rice or steamed buns, which requires some skills. However, people rarely eat staple food at hot pot restaurants, as most of them eat shabu-shabu meat.
"Okay, why not? Let's do it this way."
"By the way, I think you can buy two pairs of intercoms for your store, so that if there is any problem in the front hall and the back kitchen, they can communicate via intercoms."
Gu Jianhua, "My wife's walkie-talkie is not cheap."
A pair costs five or six hundred yuan?
Two pairs cost over a thousand.
Su He, "It's not cheap, but if you buy this, it will be more convenient for you to communicate. If the customer orders egg fried rice and the customer doesn't like green onions, but the waiter forgot to note it, do you still have to run into the kitchen to tell him?"
"Would it be more convenient to communicate using an intercom?"
Gu Jianhua, "Well, that's right, let's buy two."
Stores in Soho generally pay wages on the 15th of every month.
March 15th is the salary payment date again.
Everyone was happy because the wages had increased again. Su He had previously discussed with Gu Jianhua about raising the employees' wages, but had not informed the employees.
The salary payment in March gave everyone a surprise.
Qin Lang and Zhou Ran said, "Aunt Jiang, you are right. Our salary has increased by ten yuan!"
They used to make 55 bucks a month!
Now it’s 65 in one month!
Aunt Jiang smiled, "I was right, wasn't I? I guessed it would go up. It went up last year and the year before, so it will definitely go up this year."
Qin Lang and Zhou Ran said, "Our boss is so nice."
In addition to the employees, all store managers were also very happy that the boss had increased wages for everyone.
The store manager previously earned 98 yuan a month, but now it’s 118 yuan, a direct increase of 20 yuan.
Needless to say, Ye Shuang, He Zhizhi and Chen Yuan's salaries were directly increased by 100 yuan.
588 yuan a month.
Chen Yuan couldn't help but say to He Zhizhi, "Wife, Aunt Su is really generous. This is what a boss should be like!"
That's what a boss should be like! What kind of boss is he who is always stealing and deducting money?
The salary increase means that the couple has two hundred yuan more.
Chen Yuan said to He Zhizhi, "Wife, let's save more money and buy a house to live in."
In addition to the houses distributed by various units, there are also new buildings built in recent years, but they are more expensive, costing more than one hundred or two hundred yuan per square meter.
A 100-square-meter house costs more than 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
It does cost a lot of money, and in the past Chen Yuan might have felt that he couldn't afford it, but now the couple earns more than a thousand yuan a month, so they can afford it if they save for two years.
I didn’t feel anything before, but after getting married, Chen Yuan wanted to move out. Living with his parents was just too inconvenient! There was no privacy in all matters!
He Zhizhi heard this and agreed, "Okay."
Her parents-in-law were very nice to her. They cooked for her, washed her clothes, and cared about her. Her parents-in-law were very nice, but she felt it would be better to move out.
This way the space is spacious.
Also, if they bought the house, she could decorate it according to her own preferences, and they would both have their own private space.
Xue Mu was also very happy. His future salary would be 218 yuan a month, which was really a lot. The boss said it was because he was doing two jobs.
Xue Mu felt that asking him to drive was not really a job. He liked driving and would be happy to drive even if he was not paid.
The same thing happened to Wei Lan, it went up by 100 yuan. Last year her monthly salary was 188 yuan, and this year it went up to 288 yuan.
Together with her husband He Chunxu's salary, they earn four hundred yuan a month.
The couple originally wanted to save money to buy a house, but both a yard and a building were not cheap, with a square meter of a building costing more than 100 yuan.
It costs more than 10,000 yuan to buy a house of 100 square meters, and the same goes for a yard.
It’s quite expensive, but the rent isn’t expensive anyway, so just rent it.
Wei Lan has no intention of buying it for the time being, mainly because she doesn’t have enough money.
But if the economy continues like this and house prices don't rise, she will be able to afford a house in two years.
Her family now has more than 4,000 yuan in savings, plus this year's salary. Usually, the couple saves her salary and uses her husband's for monthly expenses.
This year, both of them received salary increases, which not only improved their quality of life but also increased their savings.
In fact, compared with other families, their conditions are considered superior. Not to mention this year, last year the couple earned 300 yuan a month.
How can an average family have so many?
When Wei Lan thought of this, she felt fortunate that she had worked for her boss for so long, unlike other employees who resigned after working for a few months and went elsewhere.
There are so many advantages to following the boss Su He. For example, ever since the boss opened a cosmetics store, she has never spent money on cosmetics.
Because her boss gave her a set on Women's Day, another set on Valentine's Day, and another set during the Chinese New Year.
Three sets a year, just right.
She gave her two children two sets of clothes for each season, all year round. Her husband He Chunxu also had some. Last year on Father's Day, the boss directly gave her husband a pack of cigarettes.
It’s really not her fault, she is completely devoted to him and the boss is really good to the three of them.
She must be confused if she doesn't follow such a boss.
Wei Lan was thinking that as long as her sister Su didn't despise her, she would stay with her sister Su for the rest of her life.
After the employees' salaries were paid in March, Su He was thinking about buying a commercial house. He had read in a book that commercial houses only became popular in the 1990s and 2000s, so he didn't bother with it.
I have been buying courtyard houses and shops.
In fact, there are commercial housing now, but not many, but they are very cheap.
I heard what Wei Lan and Chen Yuan said these two days.
Su He was thinking about whether to buy a few apartments, since this thing would appreciate in value anyway.
Su He discussed it with Gu Jianhua.
Gu Jianhua meant, "If you want to buy it, just buy it. We have the money anyway."
After these few years, Gu Jianhua has also figured out some tricks. In the past two years, individual businesses have developed rapidly, and the previous large factories have closed down.
Self-employed businesses don’t provide houses to their employees, so the employees have to buy them with their own money.
He thinks that not only store prices but also housing prices will rise in the future, but he doesn't know to what extent.
"Then should we buy five sets first? Or ten sets?" Su He asked.
Gu Jianhua, "It's up to you. One unit is more than 10,000 yuan. If you buy ten units, it will only be more than 100,000 yuan, not much."
Su He laughed when he heard him say this, "Comrade Gu Jianhua, you have changed! One hundred thousand yuan is not a lot of money, right?"
Gu Jianhua, "Wife, our family shop will cost more than 100,000 yuan, and we have 10 houses!"
He went to the Housing Authority to ask this year, and found out that shop prices have increased again.
"In addition to buying a commercial house, you can also go look at shops and buy a few more if you find something suitable. It will be enough for you to leave 200,000 yuan for your family."
Su He, "Didn't we say that we would buy a car for Changan this year? Two hundred thousand is not enough, we must keep at least four hundred thousand."
Gu Jianhua, "Let him wait and buy it for him in June."
Su He, "Then you communicate with him."
Gu Jianhua, "Okay, I'll talk to him and buy it for him in June."
Of course, Chang An had no objection to this. He said, "I'm not in a hurry, Mom and Dad. You can use it first."
Gu Jianhua, "You can drive my car."
Changan shook his head, "No need, Dad. I only drive to and from get off work every day. I can just ride a bicycle."
Changan felt that he had lost his energy since he started working, just like when he was studying.
He shouldn't have studied medicine!
