Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

"Then you can come over here on weekends and work part-time, eight hours a day, 50 yuan a day;

If you come to help in the evening, from 6pm to 9:30pm, you will be paid half a day's wages.

Food is provided but accommodation is not. We can have hot pot once a week, that’s no problem.”

Hao Qiang said with a smile that the part-time salary he offered was relatively high, and he gave Wu Hai special treatment, but it was not outrageously high.

The young waiters in his shop are handsome men and pretty women. Food and accommodation are provided, and the monthly salary is 1,000 yuan. The salary is much higher than that of his peers, but after all, the requirements are very demanding. If he pays less, he will not be able to recruit handsome men and beautiful women.

In comparison, waiters at some nearby hot pot restaurants only earn a few hundred yuan a month.

At the Renjian Fireworks Restaurant, there are significant differences in the salaries of people in different positions.

Dishwashers earn the lowest wages, only 600 yuan;

The store manager has the highest salary, which can reach 2,300 yuan per month;

Following closely behind is the head chef, who earns two thousand one hundred a month.

Apart from this, the monthly salary of people in other positions is less than 1,500 yuan.

The catering industry generally provides food and accommodation, but most do not provide five insurances and one fund.

Generally speaking, the main advantage of working in the catering industry is that the food is good and the working hours are relatively late, so you don’t have to get up too early;

However, there is also a disadvantage in that there are no fixed rest days.

Renjian Yanhuo has 10 permanent staff members and 2 temporary part-time workers. The total monthly labor expenses are 1.33 yuan, plus rental expenses, the total expenses are about 1.5 yuan.

“Fifty dollars a day?

so much?"

Wu Hai was a little surprised when he heard this. If there really was that much money, it would be great. He could work eight days a month and have enough money for his college living expenses.

It also saved eight days of food expenses!

However, he had a nice thought and continued, "Qiangzi, you are not the boss, so your decision does not count!

Besides, what else can I do besides doing odd jobs? Is the boss so stupid as to spend this much money to hire me?

"Haha, you are quite self-aware and know that you can only do odd jobs." Hao emphasized.

Han Qingying watched Hao Qiang teasing Wu Hai and smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

"Tsk, even if it's just a handyman, I'm happy to do it. I don't have high requirements, as long as I can get paid." Wu Hai curled his lips and smiled. He picked up a piece of tender beef, dipped it in some fragrant condiments, and then put it in his mouth. After chewing it, the taste was simply wonderful.

Hao Qiang was too lazy to tease him and waved to the store manager.

Yang Qiuhong saw the boss's gesture and immediately walked over and asked respectfully, "Boss, what's the matter?"

Hao Qiang said directly: "Sister Yang, his name is Wu Hai, Hai as in the sea. You can just call him Xiao Hai. He is my high school classmate. He is studying at a university here and usually comes here to work part-time. Let him do odd jobs. You don't need to take special care of him. If he dares to be lazy, just scold him."

Yang Qiuhong smiled and nodded: "Okay, boss."

At the same time, she looked at the dark-faced young man who was still a little dazed, and extended her right hand to him: "Hello, I'm the store manager Yang Qiuhong, welcome Xiaohai to the Renjian Fireworks team!"

Wu Hai was stunned for a moment, as if he had just woken up from a dream. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Yang Qiuhong twice before letting go.

Then, he turned to Hao Qiang, his eyes full of doubt, and asked in a low voice: "Qiangzi, are you the boss?"

"Haha, you just realized it now." Hao Qiang laughed and waved his hand to signal Sister Yang to go about her own business.

"Damn, I thought they were calling you 'boss', not 'guests'." Wu Hai still couldn't believe it. Looking at Yang Qiuhong's departing back, he raised his voice slightly and asked, "Are you really the boss?"

Hao Qiang nodded, pointed to the license plate hanging on the cash register, and said, "The goods are genuine, and the prices are fair. You can tell by the business license hanging there."

Wu Hai stood up, walked quickly to the cashier counter, and looked at the business license carefully.

He saw the company name was "Yuecheng Renjian Fireworks Catering Co., Ltd."

And in the legal representative column, Hao Qiang’s name was clearly written!

"Fuck down!"

Wu Hai couldn't help but exclaim, his heart filled with shock and confusion.

After he sat back in his seat, curiosity surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask Hao Qiang: "Qiangzi, Boss Qiang, how did you do it? Win the lottery jackpot? Get rich overnight?"

"You think too much."

Hao Qiang smiled and shook his head. Then, he began to tell the story in a general outline of how he used stock market leverage to make his first money and then invested in this hot pot restaurant.

Wu Hai was mesmerized by what he heard. The more he listened, the more shocked he became. He was so stunned that he even forgot to touch the delicious food in front of him. Whenever he heard something unbelievable, he couldn't help but exclaim:

"Oh my god, Qiangzi, this is incredible!"

The hot pot meal lasted nearly two hours, most of which they spent chatting and adding soup many times.

After eating hot pot, Han Qingying returned to school, while Wu Hai was still sitting in the booth, chewing melon seeds and immersed in Hao Qiang's story.

When Han Qingying disappeared from sight, Wu Hai's curiosity finally flared up, and he asked Hao Qiang a gossipy question: "Qiangzi, are you two together?"

"I guess so." Hao Qiang smiled gently, stood up, and patted Wu Hai on the shoulder. "You should start working tonight. When you have time, go buy a bicycle so that it will be more convenient for you to come here in the future."

Wu Hai was slightly surprised to hear Hao Qiang admit his relationship with Han Qingying, and thought to himself that this bastard acted really quickly.

When I heard that work was going to start tonight, I couldn't help but mutter, "Black-hearted boss!"

I continued to chew some melon seeds and saw that the business in the store was pretty good, so I quickly helped to clean up the dishes.

At half past nine in the evening, the store began to close, and Hao Qiang handed Wu Hai 500 yuan as an advance payment.

After Wu Hai got the money, he happily went to the roadside to take a tricycle and left, but he still felt a little sorry about the taxi fare.

The hot pot restaurant closes at ten o'clock in the evening.

The store manager and Hao Qiang calculated the accounts.

From afternoon to evening, a total of 31 tables of guests were received, with a total of 85 guests, and a total turnover of 2030 yuan.

Including the sales during the lunch period, the sales for the day reached 3065 yuan.

The gross profit margin in the catering industry is relatively high. According to Hao Qiang's estimate, the average gross profit margin of his hot pot restaurant can reach 60%.

Even with a 40% discount, the gross profit margin is still 33.3%.

So, he estimated the gross profit to be about one thousand yuan.

[Notes in this article: gross profit, gross profit margin, profit, net profit or net profit after tax

Gross profit = sales revenue - direct costs (excluding wages and rent);

It also does not include the company's administrative expenses, financial expenses, sales expenses, and taxes.

Gross profit margin = gross profit x 100% / total sales revenue or total turnover;

Profit = gross profit - wages - rent - management expenses - financial expenses - sales expenses, etc.

Net profit = profit after paying all corporate taxes, value-added tax, business tax and other taxes.

After the tax reform in 2018, business tax was replaced by value-added tax. The value-added tax rate for small-scale taxpayers in the catering industry is 3% (monthly revenue exceeds 3 yuan), and the value-added tax rate for general taxpayers is 6% (annual revenue exceeds 500 million yuan).

The monthly rent is 7,000 yuan, the labor cost is 16,000 yuan, plus water and electricity bills, the fixed daily expenses are about 800 yuan.

It can be said that today's small profit is about two hundred yuan.

Of course, today is Saturday, so business is definitely better than usual.

Moreover, Hao Qiang did not take into account investment interest costs and equipment depreciation.

In fact, if we continue with today's situation, we can only maintain a balance between income and expenditure.

The next day, Sunday, business was not much different from the day before.

The turnover on that day was 3120 yuan.

Day 3, Monday.

Sure enough, the revenue showed a significant decline, reaching only 2020 yuan.

When classmates asked Hao Qiang how his business was going, he just smiled and replied, "It's okay."

His roommates were more concerned about Hao Qiang's business. If he made a loss, it would be impossible for them to have free hot pot in the future.

Therefore, when they chat with students from other classes, they always spare no effort to promote Hao Qiang's hot pot restaurant, praising its excellent taste, but the price is a little high.

Qiu Yuqing and Han Qingying were also concerned about Hao Qiang's business, but Hao Qiang always comforted them and told them not to worry too much.

Wu Hai usually works part-time here. He knows the business situation of the store and has given Hao Qiang a lot of advice.

Day 4, Tuesday.

Renjian Fireworks has returned to its original price with no discounts, which is the real beginning of verifying that the hot pot restaurant is attracting customers.

Hao Qiang and the shop assistants were full of anticipation.

At the same time, their competitors are also watching secretly, wanting to see whether this newly opened hot pot restaurant can stand the test of the market.
