Chapter 044 White Pearl's Plan
After dinner, Bai Chengxiang took out the income from the past few days:
"Pearl, I have paid for the goods. This is the money I earned in the past few days. A total of 532.5. Please count it."
Dong Juan was surprised: "Such a small braised meat shop, how can its business be so good?"
Bai Zhenzhu took the money, didn't count it, and said with a smile:
"One day is the last day of the opening discount, so the price will increase a bit, and then it should fall back later."
Bai Chengxiang nodded:
"What Zhenzhu said is absolutely right. We make more money on the last day of the sale. The next three days are only around a hundred."
Dong Juan said happily: "It's not bad to have a profit of 100 yuan a day. Well, we still have to do business."
As he said this, he excitedly patted Zhang Minmin on the leg:
"Let's take the train to Chengdu tomorrow morning."
Zhang Minmin's eyes lit up: "Okay, Jingsi will go too, and we'll take the suitable goods back first if we see any."
Liu Fang and Xu Yin were even more excited.
They used to do all the laundry at home, and the big money they made was when they sold pigs.
In the future, they will work for Zhenzhu, so won’t they get paid every month just like the workers in the city?
At this time, Liu Fang, Xu Yin and others still thought that Bai Zhenzhu wanted them to come out and help her with the work.
The two of them calculated that the couple earned about ten yuan a day, which was four or five hundred yuan a month, not much different from the third brother and his wife.
This is much better than farming at home, and most importantly, it is not tiring and you don’t have to be exposed to wind, sun and rain.
When they heard what Bai Zhenzhu said next, they were all shocked.
Bai Zhenzhu took out some melon seeds for everyone to eat, and said with a smile:
"While my third brother, his wife and my aunt are here, I will tell you my next plan."
Everyone looked at her curiously and subconsciously listened to her so attentively that they even forgot to eat melon seeds.
White Pearl continued:
"The braised meat shop is not a problem. My second sister-in-law is pregnant, so I plan to let my second brother and his wife run it. My second brother has been learning from me during this period. He is already proficient in the techniques of braising meat and getting and selling goods. There shouldn't be any problem."
"Now that my eldest brother and his wife are here, the next step is to open the restaurant. When my eldest brother and his wife are able to run the business independently, I will hand the restaurant over to them."
"From now on, these two stores will be ours together. I won't pay you any salary, but will just split the profits 70% to 30%. Big brother and big sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, do you have any objections?"
After saying this, Bai Chengxiang said:
"You opened this store, and we are just helping you. How can we ask for a share? It's enough for you to give me and your sister-in-law seven or eight dollars a day. Besides, we are still living in your house."
Xu Yin also hurriedly said:
"That's right, Pearl, we don't have the face to ask you for money. If I could only get two or three hundred dollars a month, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Bai Chenglei also shook his head: "No, no."
Liu Fang also said: "We only take the salary, we don't want anything more."
She had the same idea as Xu Yin. The couple had a combined monthly income of four to five hundred yuan, so they would not have to worry about raising two sons. This was much better than what they had before at home, and they could not even imagine how much better it would be.
White Pearl smiled and said:
"Sister-in-law, this money is not shared for free. You also know that I will have to buy a clothing store later, so I will definitely not have the energy to manage the braised meat shop and the restaurant. From now on, I will leave it to you to manage. We are like a partnership. I will open the store and provide technology, and you will provide manpower and labor. If we make money, we will share it. If we lose money, you will have worked for nothing. This is risky."
Bai Chengxiang had done business before, so he was quick-witted:
"Then 28, you get 8 and we get 2."
He silently calculated that after deducting the costs, the braised meat shop should have no problem making a net profit of 100 per day. With a 2:8 split, the couple could get a lot of money, which was more than the salary of the third brother and his wife. This was something they had never dared to imagine before.
Bai Chenglei, Liu Fang and others agreed with the second one.
"We're also twenty-eight, Pearl takes eight."
Although the girl said there are risks, what are the risks in their opinion? They didn't pay any money, the girls paid the money, and they just did the work.
What's the point of working for nothing? If we encounter this disaster or that disaster in a certain year, a whole season's crops will be wasted, and all our efforts will be in vain.
Seeing her brother and sister-in-law like this, Bai Zhenzhu said:
"Okay, then it's 28. Big brother and second brother, as long as we work hard, we can definitely live a good life."
Moreover, she absolutely trusts her brothers and sisters-in-law. With the family together, she will be bolder. If she came to the unfamiliar Yuan County alone, she would not be able to open the store so quickly.
Zhang Minmin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, can't you see that Zhenzhu wants to make a lot of money with us? I'm not afraid to tell you that Zhenzhu even lent me several thousand to buy a shop and open a clothing store. If it weren't for her, I would never have thought of opening a clothing store. Let's not think about anything else. Zhenzhu is smart, so we're right to listen to her."
Dong Juan pointed at her own daughter with amusement:
"You are just thick-skinned."
After hearing what Zhang Minmin said, the eldest and second brother felt much more at ease.
My sister is willing to help us, and it would be pretentious to talk nonsense any more.
Liu Fang clenched her fists excitedly:
"Pearl, sister-in-law will definitely learn from you."
Bai Zhenzhu breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"To be fair, I will pay you a salary of eight dollars per day, including food and accommodation. Once my clothing store is open, I will officially hand over the two stores to you to run independently."
By that time, the restaurant had been opened and it was known whether it was profitable or not. She couldn't just hand over an unprofitable store to her eldest brother.
Both the eldest and second sons said they would listen to their younger sister.
White Pearl said again:
"There is one more thing. This store is different, and the profits are definitely different. Brother, this is not pleasant to hear but I have to say it. Today we have laid everything out in the open and made it clear. I don't want to hurt the harmony of our family because of money."
Xu Yin immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhenzhu, I won't be jealous when my sister-in-law becomes successful in the future. I will just cling to her and ask her not to look down on me, a scabby boy."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
Liu Fang also expressed her opinion: "Zhenzhu, the sisters-in-law are not that kind of people, so don't worry. You have already paved the way for us, and how we walk depends on our own ability. We will bear the consequences ourselves."
Bai Zhenzhu knew that although her sister-in-law seemed silent, her willpower and character were impeccable.
So the matter was settled happily.
At night, Zhang Minmin and Dong Juan slept in the bedroom, and Bai Jingsi slept on the sofa outside.
Dong Juan praised the Bai family directly:
"When your father was optimistic about Jingsi, I was still hesitant, but he said that your father-in-law would educate children, and it would be a good idea to marry into such a family. As expected, your father has a good eye. Look at Jingsi and his siblings, how good they are at discussing things with each other."
Zhang Minmin was not happy: "It's obvious that I'm the one who likes Bai Jingsi."
Dong Juan: “…” So fools have good fortune.
