On its first day of operation, the disco was a huge success, staying open until 6 p.m.
It's not that Yun Jin doesn't want to close later, it's just that there's not much nightlife these days, it's cold, and the buses aren't running, so it's hard for those customers to get home.
So it's basically open during the day and closed at night.
When summer comes, we'll definitely be open until 9 or 10 pm.
As soon as the door closed, Yun Jin and the finance department calculated today's income.
There's no entrance fee, just tea, alcohol, drinks, snacks, and peanuts. That's how much I made – 700 yuan. After deducting costs, I make about 500 yuan.
Seeing this income, Yun Jin knew that business would definitely be even more booming in the future.
When He's parents found out they had earned so much on the first day, they were completely dumbfounded: "Making money like this?"
Yun Jin nodded.
However, I still have to pretend to be poor: "Compared to the investment, this little bit of return is nothing. It will probably take about a year to break even. The real money will come after a year."
He's parents thought about it and agreed. With such a large investment, how could they talk about making money if they didn't break even?
Seeing the booming business, Brother He and his wife asked, "How much money did you invest?"
Yun Jin explained the amount she had invested, and the figure left Brother He and his wife speechless: "So much! Can you break even in a year?"
Yun Jin shrugged: "There's nothing I can do. If I can't go back for a year, it'll be a year and a half. I've already spent all my money, so I can only keep running the business."
Sister-in-law He then realized that doing business was not such an easy thing.
He Ziqian also knew that without capital, nothing could be done.
He still owes Yun Jin money for her motorcycle.
With his meager salary, when will he ever be able to pay it off?
Thinking about this, He Ziqian had a headache. He also wanted to start a business that could earn three to five hundred yuan a day, but unfortunately he didn't have the capital or such a good project.
Originally, he also wanted to open a disco, but unfortunately his aunt snatched away such a good project.
If Yun Jin knew what He Ziqian was thinking, she would definitely spit in his face. This project wasn't something he could decide on his own.
Whoever has the money can run it.
Over the next two days, which were still a holiday, the reputation of disco spread, and young people from Beijing flocked to see it and broaden their horizons, including some teenagers.
Yun Jin saw them and had them stopped: "Our disco is for adults over eighteen years old. You are still children and cannot enter. You are welcome to come and play when you grow up."
The boy protested, "Why? It's not like we're not paying."
Yun Jin smiled and said, "It's nothing special. This is a place for adults. You're still too young. Come back when you're older. Go home and don't run around!"
They returned home disappointed.
Yun Jin later put up a sign at the entrance: Minors are not allowed to enter.
They also instructed the greeters at the entrance to check ages to prevent children from sneaking in.
The greeter nodded, and indeed he spotted a few kids pretending to be adults trying to sneak in.
The turnover increased day by day during the three-day New Year's Day holiday, and on the third day it even exceeded one thousand in turnover, which Yun Jin did not expect.
In this day and age, to have a turnover of a thousand, you can imagine how booming the business must be.
The sunflower seeds, peanuts, fried dough twists, cat ear-shaped snacks, soda, tea, and alcohol that she stocked sold exceptionally well. Two types of sunflower seeds even sold out: cream-flavored sunflower seeds and spiced sunflower seeds.
This shows how many customers are in the store.
After New Year's Day, Yun Jin had to go to school, as did everyone else.
Business was much worse on Mondays and Fridays. Even so, every time Yun Jin checked the accounts, the turnover would exceed 100.
Beijing has a large population now. Once this group has had their fill of fun, there will be another group.
Plus, discos have heating, food, and drinks, so everyone loves to come. Even if there's an entrance fee, people are willing to spend money to play for a morning or an afternoon.
Eating and drinking, watching the women, dancing—it was pure enjoyment.
On weekends and holidays, whether they are college students or working people, they all come to relax. The disco is so popular on weekends that it has to limit the number of people that people can't get in. Some people want to go in but can't.
Yun Jin wouldn't let a bunch of people go in just to make money.
Basically, once a certain number of people arrive, the person who greets and counts heads will close the door and stop serving guests until many people have left, at which point they will start serving guests again.
Therefore, many people complained that they were not received despite braving the wind and snow in the dead of winter.
If they try to cause trouble, let them in.
If you can persuade them to leave, then do so.
In just one month, Yun Jin's disco business generated nearly 20,000 yuan in revenue, something He's parents never dared to imagine.
On weekends, Li Aimei and her team would come to liven things up; usually, it was just the people hired by the store who were there.
Li Aimei and her friend are working part-time; they come during their time off and attend classes during the week.
When it was time to pay salaries, Yun Jin watched as the finance department calculated the salaries. After confirming that there were no problems, she gave each person an envelope containing their salary for the previous month.
When they received their first paycheck, they opened the envelope, looked at the stack of banknotes, counted them, and found that they had two extra dollars.
Yun Jin said, "The two yuan is a perfect attendance bonus. You haven't missed a single day and have had perfect attendance every day. This is recognition and a reward for your work. You will receive two yuan every month from now on, on the condition that you do not take leave or miss any work!"
For those two dollars, they certainly wouldn't take leave or be absent.
Two yuan can buy two jin of pork!
As for Li Aimei and Zhang Qingwei, they were not formal employees and did not have full attendance, so Yun Jin did not pay them.
Even if Li Aimei and she have a good relationship, it's fine for them to help each other privately. But if they openly help each other like this, the other part-time workers will have objections.
Li Aimei knew she didn't have it, and she wasn't angry.
