Siheyuan: Starting to work in the security department

Since everyone was too tired yesterday, the restaurant started work a little later the next day.

It was after nine o'clock before the employees finally arrived.

Niu Ping'an couldn't say much about this.

After all, yesterday's workload was indeed seriously exceeded.

Originally, due to the opening issue, all the employees arrived at the store at around six o'clock.

The employees were so busy that they didn't get off work until after eight o'clock in the evening. After thirteen or fourteen hours of work, they were exhausted.

After a whole night, fatigue could still be seen on everyone's faces.

Niu Ping'an clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone, please stop what you are doing for a moment and let me say a few words.

First of all, thank you all for your hard work yesterday.

Yesterday was our first day of business and we encountered quite a few minor problems, but fortunately no major mistakes occurred.

We are all newbies, so it's understandable that we have some small problems.

Just find the problem and correct it in time.

Now let me talk about the business situation in the store yesterday.

Yesterday, our total revenue was 675.80 yuan!"

Wow...

When Niu Ping'an reported this number, everyone was a little surprised.

I didn’t expect that I could do so much business in one day.

Besides being surprised, I feel envious.

Especially Sha Zhu, who owned 10% of the shares, was so happy that the corners of his mouth stretched to the back of his ears.

Niu Pingan originally wanted to cheer everyone up, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect, so he had to explain:

“Be quiet!

Over six hundred sounds like a good amount, but there are a lot of costs involved.

The costs of food, wages, water, electricity, etc. are not small.

The actual profit is not that much.”

Niu Pingan was worried that everyone would be blinded by the revenue data and start working with emotions.

After hearing Niu Ping'an's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

Knowing that I was thinking wrong.

But even so, the boss will still earn a lot of money.

"Everyone worked way beyond their capacity yesterday, so everyone will get a five-dollar bonus this month."

Niu Ping'an took into consideration that everyone would need a period of adaptation in the next period of time.

Maybe the working hours will still exceed a lot.

In order to appease the employees, we can only pay them a little more.

Although five dollars is not a lot, it is not too little either.

"Okay! Thanks, boss!"

Sure enough, with money to be made, everyone's mood was immediately aroused.

Even my tired body regained its energy.

In fact, people nowadays are still very hard-working. Even if Niu Ping'an does not give them rewards, they will cherish this hard-earned job.

But Niu Pingan is not an evil capitalist after all, and he has never thought of making money by exploitation.

"Okay, everyone, take your positions and get busy!

Guests will be arriving soon!"

After explaining the situation, Niu Ping'an dismissed everyone.

Although many aspects of yesterday's performance were not satisfactory, the reputation of Shuxiangyuan has been spread.

Although Sha Zhu's craftsmanship is not as good as that of the master chef, it can still be considered top-notch.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to win the favor of the big boss with my cooking skills.

The taste of Shuxiangyuan is not as good as that of famous old restaurants such as Sichuan Restaurant, but it also has its own unique features.

At least it has certain advantages in terms of price and can be regarded as a mid-range hotel.

The passenger flow today is greater than that of yesterday.

Even at noon, business is still booming, not to mention at night.

With yesterday's experience, today's reception went much more smoothly.

Things are much more efficient now.

The next day, the sales volume reached over 800.

Everything is going in the right direction.

Time flies, and a month flies by.

Over the past month, everyone has become familiar with the hotel's work and things are going more smoothly.

Basically, I can get off work at nine o'clock in the evening.

Shu Xiangyuan had a monthly turnover of more than 25,000 yuan, which brought Niu Ping'an more than 5,000 yuan in profits.

It's almost the same as picking up money.

If things continue like this, Niu Ping'an's investment will pay off in more than two months.

From this we can see that reform and opening up is indeed a good opportunity for entrepreneurship.

As long as one is bold and careful, anyone can make a fortune.

The hotel is now completely back on track, and Niu Ping'an can finally relax a little.

.....

On this day, Niu Ping'an was slacking off in the office when Xu Damao, who had not been seen for a long time, came to his door.

Xu Damao was holding a leather handbag in his hand, wearing leather shoes and a small suit, and dressed himself up like a gentleman.

"Peace, or you are living a comfortable life!"

As soon as he arrived at Niu Ping'an's office, Xu Damao sighed.

"Brother Damao, long time no see, come and sit down!"

Although Niu Ping'an was a little surprised that Xu Damao came to the store during working hours, he still greeted him warmly.

Xu Damao pulled a chair and sat in front of the desk.

Niu Ping'an poured him a cup of tea.

"Brother Damao, isn't today a workday?"

Niu Ping'an asked curiously.

"My buddy has left the steel mill too!"

Xu Damao replied arrogantly.

Niu Ping'an nodded, not surprised by this.

Xu Damao was not the kind of person who was content with what he was doing. Seeing that Niu Ping'an and Sha Zhu had both come out to do something, how could he suppress his restless heart?

"So what business is Damao doing now?"

Niu Ping'an was a little curious.

Originally, Niu Ping'an suggested that Xu Damao open a clothing store, but Xu Damao looked down on that kind of small business.

"My buddy is now reselling second-hand home appliances!"

Xu Damao said to Niu Ping'an in a low voice.

"Brother Damao, have you applied for a business license?"

Niu Ping'an didn't expect that Xu Damao actually started selling home appliances.

Although home appliances are becoming more popular nowadays, their prices remain high.

Especially foreign goods, the prices are higher.

Take refrigerators for example. Domestic small-capacity household refrigerators can cost a few hundred yuan or more than a thousand yuan.

Foreign brands start at thousands of yuan.

But there is a reason why it is expensive. After all, China has just started in this field, productivity is limited, and the quality is not as good as that of foreign countries.

"No, how many people doing business outside have a license?"

An unnatural look flashed across Xu Damao's face as he defended himself.

“But they are just doing small business, so it’s not a big problem.

The home appliance business is so large that it easily attracts the attention of those who are interested.

If you really want to do a good job, I suggest you get a certificate and pay some taxes to be safer."

What Xu Damao said is true. Many people doing business outside are operating without a license.

But they are just running small businesses to support their families, and law enforcement agencies may turn a blind eye depending on the actual situation;

Large-volume purchases of home appliances, which can easily cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, are not within their consideration.

If you have the capital to do this kind of business, how can your life be bad?

"No need, my business is not that big."

Even though Niu Ping'an had pointed out the seriousness of the problem to this point, Xu Damao was still avoiding it.

Xu Damao's abnormal behavior made Niu Ping'an realize that there was something wrong.

The origin of the home appliances must be not legitimate!

"Brother Damao, your home appliances weren't smuggled in, were they?"

Niu Ping'an asked tentatively.

"Ahem... yeah!"

Only after Niu Ping'an revealed the truth did Xu Damao agree.

"Tsk, Brother Damao, you'd better stop this business right away. If you get caught, you'll be put behind the fence."

Niu Ping'an was really shocked by Xu Damao's boldness.

With the progress of reform and opening up, the domestic smuggling industry has become increasingly prevalent.

This smuggling crime not only disrupts the overall market in our country, but also causes considerable economic losses to the country's port tax revenue.

The above policy is very strict regarding this kind of behavior.

Squatting on the fence is the lightest punishment, and serious ones will result in eating peanuts directly.

Niu Ping'an doesn't want Xu Damao to get involved in such muddy water.

"It's not that serious, is it?"

Xu Damao was a little skeptical.

In his opinion, his behavior was just speculation and profiteering. Aren't there many people engaging in speculation and profiteering nowadays?

At most they would be driven away or their belongings would be confiscated.

“Brother Damao, smuggling is a serious crime, and anyone caught will be shot.

Although your behavior does not constitute smuggling, you are still selling stolen goods, which is a serious crime.

Especially now that smuggling is being strictly enforced in coastal areas, it is only a matter of time before you are implicated.”

Seeing that Xu Damao did not realize the seriousness of the matter, Niu Pingan explained to him seriously.

"so serious?"

"Nonsense, this is endangering national interests, it's almost like stealing public property."

"Ping An, brother listens to you!

What a pity, you can earn hundreds of dollars by selling a home appliance!"

"That requires a life-long flower!"
