Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

On Thursday, the business of Renjian Fireworks continued to be as booming as in the previous few days.

The turnover on that day also climbed to a new high:

8665 yuan!

Mu Xiang Yuan was not to be outdone and gradually increased its business by launching new dishes and holding promotional events.

Zhang Fu, the 45-year-old boss, couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw the booming business of the fireworks company.

The unit price of Renjian Fireworks is almost the same as that of their own restaurant, and both specialize in healthy hot pot.

Zhang Fuhe, the shop assistant, had never tasted the hot pot flavors of other places. In his opinion, they must be not much different.

In fact, Renjian Yanhuo is two levels better than Muxiangyuan, which is the difference between 100 points and 80 points.

In Zhang Fu's opinion, the popularity of Renjian Yanhuo is largely due to Hao Qiang's own fame and the restaurant's unique decoration style, which is very popular among young people.

He felt powerless about this.

Dimensionality reduction attacks cannot be countered by propaganda at all.

Sometimes he cursed inwardly: Damn it, this rich second generation, whose family is so rich, still wants to go into the catering industry, causing trouble for us ordinary people. Wouldn't it be more profitable to be a celebrity?

Otherwise, you can work in other industries. Working in the catering industry is really tiring.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, most hot pot restaurants fell into a brief period of desertedness during this period.

Zhang Fu came to Yipinguo Hotpot Restaurant to chat with Liu Gui.

The two sat on the chairs, smoking, drinking tea and chatting.

Zhang Fu asked Liu Gui curiously, "Boss Liu, how many tables did you open yesterday?"

"There are probably a little over twenty tables. You have thirty tables, right? Business has always been good." Liu Gui said casually. He knew that Zhang Fu came here not to seek comfort.

"I have promotions here, but I don't make as much profit as you. Now business is getting worse day by day." Zhang Fu sighed. Before Renjian Fireworks opened, his store maintained an average of about 25 tables a day, and on weekends, it could easily exceed 30 tables.

His hot pot restaurant is larger, has a good location, and has a high rent.

According to past experience, the company can make a profit of about 40,000 yuan a month.

But now, if a few machines are sold less every day, a lot of profit will be lost in a month.

Liu Gui consoled him, "Boss Liu, you're being modest. You've been in the catering industry for so many years, and both of your hot pot restaurants are doing so well. You make a good income every day, and you drive a BMW 5 Series. We in the same industry are truly envious."

"The past is the past, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future." Zhang Fu smiled bitterly and habitually touched the BMW key hanging on his belt, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Among the hot pot restaurant owners in the surrounding area, he entered the industry early and made the most money. I wonder how many of his colleagues envy him.

However, things have changed, and now it is his turn to envy the booming business of Renjian Yanhuo.

"It's just that you'll make a little less money. It won't have much of an impact on you. Business ups and downs are normal."

Liu Gui listened to Zhang Fu's words and knew that he was referring to something. He was saying that the worldly affairs of life had affected his family's business.

Damn, this bastard also suppressed him when he entered this industry before.

Now there is a new boss who sees that the business has been affected and is even more panicked than me. He is trying to suppress the new store again.

Some time ago, their two stores jointly suppressed the market, but it had no effect at all. Renjian Fireworks was still doing well.

Now, facing the new rise of the world, Liu Gui is convinced.

When doing business, everyone makes money based on their own abilities. If you can't compete with others, you can only blame yourself for not being as skilled as others and can only envy them.

There are no permanent winners in business, and making money is only temporary.

For him, even if he earns fewer tables every day, he can still maintain profitability.

Zhang Fu chatted with Liu Gui at Yipinguo Hotpot Restaurant for more than half an hour, all of which were meaningless. If his business continued to be seriously affected, he might have to resort to some ruthless means.

Of course, he was also afraid that the student boss would turn around and make trouble for him, but he believed that the other person had little social experience and probably wouldn't guess that he was going to mess with him.

……

On Friday, the business of fireworks reached an unprecedented peak.

Especially at seven o'clock in the evening, there was already a queue outside the store, which had never happened before.

Customers sat patiently on the rattan chairs placed outside the store, holding their queue numbers tightly in their hands.

Hao Qiang saw that all the staff in the store were busy like tireless bees. They were moving back and forth in the store so quickly that their walking became a jog.

Since CUHK was closed for the weekend, many students went outside the campus to find a good place to relax after Friday afternoon.

The recent popularity of Renjian Fireworks has undoubtedly made it their first choice.

Hao Qiang stood in the store and witnessed all this, feeling both happy and anxious.

He was delighted that the business was so prosperous, but he was worried whether this booming scene could last, so he didn't dare to add formal employees at will.

He has asked the store manager to temporarily add three temporary workers, but he is still a little overwhelmed.

If business declines, layoffs will put psychological pressure on all store employees, who will worry about whether they will be the next to be laid off.

He plans to wait a little longer and currently focuses on hiring temporary workers. He will then hire regular employees after he feels the business is stable.

On that day, the turnover reached 9813 yuan.

On the CUHK campus, the news that Hao Qiang opened a hot pot restaurant has spread to every corner of the campus, and it is estimated that the number of students who know about it has exceeded 10,000.

Even many teachers know a thing or two about this matter.

This can be seen from the fact that more students greet Hao Qiang enthusiastically when he walks on campus, and more and more notes are stuffed under the saddle of his bicycle.

The students teased him, "Boss Hao, business is so good, when can you hold a concert? Even if you charge for it, that's ok."

"Yes, let's review our customers."

Facing students' teasing, Hao Qiang always responded with a smile: "Haha, thank you all for coming, singing is fine."

After nine o'clock on Friday night, Hao Qiang returned to the dormitory and found Mu Shi to talk alone:

"Mu Shi, I asked around, and work-study programs might not be available until next semester, mainly to help students who are in their third and fourth years drop out."

"Oh, so that's the case. Thank you Brother Qiang for telling me." Mu Shi felt a little bitter inside.

"My shop is short of part-time workers. Do you have any ideas about doing odd jobs on weekends?"

Mu Shi said in surprise: "Sure, thank you Brother Qiang."

Seeing his straightforward response, Hao Qiang jokingly said, "Don't you want to ask how much you get paid for a day's work?"

"It's good enough that I can provide food, hehe, after all, I have no work experience."

"I didn't ask you at first because I was worried that working part-time would affect your studies. In fact, I don't recommend you to work part-time.

If you need money urgently, I can lend it to you. Besides, I don’t want my part-time job to affect our relationship with my roommates.”

Hao Qiang and Wu Hai have a different relationship. They have known each other for many years, and Wu Hai is a carefree person. Even if Hao Qiang scolds him, he will not feel resentful.

However, Hao Qiang doesn't know his other roommates well enough.

The superior-subordinate relationship between him and his roommate may make Mu Shi feel restrained.

Some people may not know how to be grateful and may even resent him.

After two months of getting along, Hao Qiang felt that Mu Shi was not the kind of person who didn't know how to be grateful.

However, helping others can only provide timely assistance, not icing on the cake.

Hao Qiang is unwilling to recruit students like Liu Yang, who are not really short of money. He thinks that they might resent him when they are tired from working.

After hearing this, Mu Shi said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Qiang, for thinking so much for me. I am really grateful.

But I decided to work part-time on weekends. Borrowing money would put too much pressure on me."

Hao Qiang nodded and said, "Okay, 40 yuan a day, the same as my high school friend."

Mu Shi was a little surprised and said quickly: "So many! No need to take special care of them."

Hao Qiang waved his hand and said, “That’s it, the business in the store is good, so the meal may be busy.

Let me tell you the specific time and content of the part-time job..."

Next, he introduced the relevant matters of part-time job to Mu Shi in detail.

I also specifically reminded you that if you don’t want to do it anymore, you can raise it at any time.

He was also reminded that if other students asked, they should say that he took the initiative to find it, and it was first come, first served. There was only one spot available, so that other students would not come to him. However, Hao Qiang did not agree.
