Chapter 29 Business situation, appreciate each other! 【Please vote】
The popularity of Jufu Restaurant!
Nothing happened as Wei Han expected.
When he was slacking off in the pharmacy that afternoon, he heard patients coming and going chatting about the popularity of the restaurant. It was rumored that the large flow of customers had blocked the surrounding streets, shocking the entire Qingshan County for a time.
If Xu Youran hadn’t been so smart, she would have directly mobilized the escort agency’s bodyguards to maintain order.
The excitement of the first day was bound to turn into a big mess.
Wei Han didn't have any thoughts on this. He only knew that his financial crisis should have been resolved. As long as Xu Youran was not a greedy person, he wouldn't have to worry about spending money in the future!
"Don't be happy yet because you haven't got the money yet!"
“You’ll know when you try it tonight!”
Wei Han whispered for a while, he already had a plan in mind.
He wouldn't be so stupid as to work for a month before looking for someone to settle the bill.
I'll have to go over to his house and test it out later. Otherwise, I'll work hard for a month and just give him a fool for nothing. I guess he'll be so angry that he'll vomit blood.
Besides, Wei Han is short of money now, so it’s not too much to ask her for an advance on the profits, right?
In the evening!
Thousands of lights are on and all the major restaurants are at their busiest.
The popularity of Jufu Restaurant has decreased slightly and the number of outside customers has stopped increasing.
There were still many patrons left in the restaurant who were still eager to drink.
Wei Han put his hands behind his back and walked into the gate.
As soon as he entered the door, the receptionist couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"Manager Qiao, are you here?"
"Yeah!" Wei Han nodded and asked, "Is business okay?"
"Yes, of course!" The waiter's face was flushed and slightly tired, and he said in a hoarse voice: "You don't know, we are exhausted today. Table after table of guests squeezed in. Our restaurant has not been so lively for decades. There are people everywhere. Many guests can't get a seat and are cursing. This is all thanks to you."
"Thank you for your hard work!" Wei Han patted his shoulder and asked, "Where is the shopkeeper? I have something to ask her!"
"In the counting house. I will show you the way."
The servant enthusiastically led Wei Han the way.
All the employees he met along the way were polite to him.
This is not flattery, but respect from the bottom of our hearts.
In a two-story wooden attic in the backyard, Xu Youran and her maid Lu'er were watching several accountants counting the accounts.
Hearing footsteps coming, Xu Youran ignored them!
Lu'er was a little wary at first, but she quickly relaxed after sniffing, and then whispered, "Miss, Manager Qiao is here!"
"oh?"
Xu Youran looked up in surprise and saw Wei Han.
She hurriedly walked over to greet him, and from a distance, she bowed and said, "Mr. Qiao, thank you for saving our restaurant from the dire situation. Today is truly an eye-opener."
"Manager Xu, you are too polite. This is all the hard work of everyone. It has nothing to do with me." Wei Han reminded: "It is not uncommon for everyone to follow suit at the beginning. The restaurant still has many flaws, such as insufficient staff, chefs need to be recruited, new dishes need to be researched, etc."
"I will manage the dishes myself, and the shopkeeper will have to handle other aspects. Otherwise, it will be easy for word of mouth to deteriorate and competitors will seize the opportunity to discredit us."
Xu Youran nodded upon hearing this.
She could naturally see the shortcomings hidden beneath the prosperity.
Even if Wei Han didn't mention it, she could handle it well.
"Mr. Qiao, are you here to inquire about the business situation?" Xu Youran said with a smile, "The accountants have just roughly calculated that we have received more than 241 tables of guests so far today."
"There are 42 tables in the three-story hall, and we received 174 guests for lunch and dinner. Each table spent more than 1 to 2 taels of silver."
"We have 21 rooms for 67 groups of guests. Most of them spend 5 to 20 taels per table. Occasionally, a few wealthy guests spend more than 100 taels!"
"According to preliminary estimates, our total revenue today should be around 1,300 taels! Compared to our Jufu Restaurant's previous turnover, it has increased by more than seven or eight times!"
This number made everyone around secretly gasp.
You have to know that the purchasing power of silver is still very strong. One tael of silver is enough to exchange for one thousand coins, and one coin can buy two pancakes. This number is something that many poor people cannot earn in their entire lives.
But Wei Han was not surprised by this.
Even he knew that this number was far from the limit.
"Our restaurant lacks a number of high-end signature dishes. Can the owner get some monster meat?" Wei Han asked again.
"You want to make nourishing medicinal food for monsters?" Xu Youran thought for a moment and said, "Our escort agency has good relations with the major beast hunting forts outside the city. Occasionally, they hunt monsters and can get some of them, but it mainly depends on luck."
"Um!"
Wei Han expressed his understanding of this.
Monsters are much more ferocious than ordinary beasts.
It is said that without the cultivation level above the Blood Refining Stage, anyone who gets close will die.
"Get as much as you can, so that when discerning guests come to visit in the future, you will have dishes to show off." Wei Han gave a casual reminder and said, "There is one last thing today. I need money urgently, and I hope to get an advance of 2,000 taels. I wonder if the shopkeeper can agree to it?"
"Two thousand taels?" Lu'er's eyes widened in shock. "So many of us work hard all day and are exhausted. After deducting various expenses and materials, we can't even earn two thousand taels. You want to take so much just by asking for it?"
"It's just an advance payment, it's not too much, right?" Wei Han asked indifferently.
Lu'er was unconvinced and wanted to say something else.
Xu Youran waved her hand to stop her and said, "Mr. Qiao has done so much for our restaurant, he should share the profits. What's the big deal about an advance? I trust him, I'll ask the accountant to get the banknotes right away."
"yes!"
Lu'er agreed respectfully.
Soon, two thousand taels of silver were handed to Wei Han.
After he put it away, he got the answer he wanted in his heart - Xu Youran was indeed a smart person and was willing to abide by the cooperation agreement.
This made Wei Han feel much better, and he looked at her with a little more appreciation.
"The shopkeeper is a heroine. I admire her." Wei Han clasped his hands and said seriously, "I hope our cooperation will continue smoothly. I will not check the accounts in the future. Just settle them once a month. According to the rules, I will take 20% of the total income. Please help me exchange half of it for food and old cotton clothes, and send people to distribute them to the victims in the city."
"Hmm? This?"
Xu Youran and Lu'er were both a little shocked.
There was an inevitable hint of inquiry in the way they looked at Wei Han.
Such a huge profit has to be divided into two parts, half of which is given to the disaster victims?
"Sir, are you kidding?" Xu Youran reminded quietly, "This is thousands of taels of dividends every month."
"It doesn't matter. Money is just a number." Wei Han smiled carefreely. "When I was poor, I could only take care of myself. If I were richer, it wouldn't be a big deal to save a few people. After all, I was also a disaster victim before. I have tasted hunger and eaten at other people's houses."
"Sir, I admire your generosity."
Xu Youran smiled sweetly.
She was originally worried that there would be many unexpected changes in her cooperation with Wei Han.
But now she is not too worried, because such a courageous man will never betray his friend by being lured by petty gains.
Maybe the cooperation between them can really last for a long time.
