Chapter 44 Maintaining Superficial Politeness



He Wenlin tallied up her income for the day.

The total is 893 yuan.

The amount has decreased compared to yesterday, mainly because I didn't set up my stall in the evening, which resulted in a loss of about a hundred yuan.

However, the actual number of orders has increased, and the number of walk-in customers has also increased. Today, the number of walk-in customers who made purchases without prior reservation reached 53, representing a 25% increase.

However, the average order value has decreased because more people are buying fried noodles.

We delivered a total of 88 popsicles at noon today, so our profits have decreased.

It seems unlikely that we'll break the 1,000 yuan sales mark today. With late-night snacks costing 1.5 yuan a serving, it's impossible to sell 70 or 80 servings no matter what.

He Wenlin tidied up the shop, then called He Shan to go and pick up the customized banner together.

They were supposed to pick it up in the morning, but He Xing suddenly started selling boxed lunches, and He Qian and her brother suddenly stopped coming, disrupting He Wenlin's plans.

"Young Master He." Just as He Wenlin was about to leave, Peng Wei arrived with a young man, presumably his nephew.

“This is my nephew Peng Liang, and this is Boss He. He will be in his final year of junior high school next semester, and he has already built such a large business. Look at him, and then look at yourself. Learn from him.”

Peng Liang wasn't embarrassed at all, and said with a grin, "I'm here to learn, aren't I? Please take care of me, Boss He."

He Wenlin had a good impression of Peng Liang because doing business requires thick skin, boldness, and the courage to speak out. How can you do business if you can't talk back?

Peng Liang's personality is suitable.

"Brother Liang, right? You should already know the specifics of the cooperation, right?" He Wenlin said.

"Yes, Manman already told me that I'm willing to do this. Don't worry, I can definitely do it! If I can't, you can find someone else!"

Peng Liang looked to be only twenty years old, but his attitude and the words he spoke made He Wenlin look at him with new respect.

"Okay, then I look forward to your results. Let's cooperate and achieve a win-win situation."

Then, He Wenlin told him some details, and after confirming that everything was alright, they left.

After seeing off the Peng family uncle and nephew, He Wenlin and He Shan set off to pick up the banner.

I also ordered twenty coupons from an advertising company that read "Xiangmeizi Fast Food Restaurant gives away a popsicle".

It was all printed on pink paper.

He Wenlin then had them cut out the items, saying that customers who spent over four yuan would receive this as a gift. With this, they could come and get their popsicles anytime, not just at noon.

Twenty sheets of paper, after being cut out, yielded more than three hundred coupons, which should be enough for a while.

It was almost eight o'clock when I got back.

The light is dim here, so it's definitely not possible to hang it up tonight; we'll have to wait until tomorrow.

She doesn't set up a stall to sell late-night snacks outside, so He Wenlin has two hours to rest right now.

After her rebirth, He Wenlin hadn't touched a book. She took out her math book and summer homework, intending to stay here to study. As she was from out of town, she needed excellent grades to get into a good school.

Moreover, she needs a plausible reason to demonstrate her fluent English.

He Wenlin read and did exercises until 9:50, almost the factory's closing time, before finally putting it down.

At 10:15, the store entered its late-night peak season.

He Wenlin and Lin Fei were busy for a while, and closed at 11 o'clock sharp.

Today's final score is 948 yuan.

Every day, He's parents would ask He Wenlin about her sales figures. When they heard that the figures had dropped, they cursed He Xing in their hearts again.

“We didn’t set up a stall at night, so a decrease is inevitable,” He Wenlin said. “Today, orders actually increased, but the average order value decreased. We also gave away more than four boxes of popsicles today, so the profit was also reduced.”

"You hired two more people, how much salary did you pay them?" Mr. He asked.

"Twenty for the older ones, fifteen for the younger ones, three meals a day included."

“Your daily expenses must be quite high. Not counting your brother’s salary, your daily wage alone is over a hundred, which is three thousand a month. Add in rent and utilities, and your monthly expenses will be at least three thousand five hundred,” said Aunt He. “How much do you need to sell each day to break even?”

"We need a turnover of about 400 yuan a day to break even. I took the initiative today and secured orders first, so the impact is not significant. We'll see the impact tomorrow. I estimate that your factory will receive a lot fewer orders tomorrow."

There must be some colleagues of Liang Xiaoying and He Xing who are on good terms with each other in the Persian clothing factory. If the couple asked, those people would definitely support them. The reason they didn't support them today is because He Wenlin took the initiative and seized the opportunity.

There are so many fellow villagers in the factory. If He Xing and his wife were to ask them to order boxed lunches, some of them would probably feel embarrassed to refuse and would order their boxed lunches instead.

Therefore, He Wenlin expects that orders from the Bosi Garment Factory will decrease by at least 20% tomorrow.

Aunt He: "They're already getting orders tonight."

"We probably won't be able to get many tonight; the main thing will be tomorrow morning."

Few customers are willing to book lunch the day before for the next day, unless there is a special offer like He Wenlin's this morning.

He Wenlin added, "However, we have a physical store and breakfast, so we have an advantage over them. You don't need to come so early tomorrow morning to help; I've already hired people."

He's parents work hard and get very little sleep, so He Wenlin can't bear to let them get up so early.

...

He Wenlin got up at five o'clock the next day.

As always, first cook the glutinous rice, and then when leaving, wake Lin Fei up to shred potatoes.
