Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

The next day, Sunday, October 31st.

The fireworks display was still so popular, with the sales volume reaching RMB on that day.

Many colleagues came to watch, marveling at the work and exclaiming with envy: "If this continues, this student boss will make a fortune!"

When they learned that the reason why this hot pot restaurant was so popular was largely due to Hao Qiang's fame, they were even more impressed.

Some bosses even took the initiative to make friends with Hao Qiang, hoping to use his popularity to jointly invest in barbecue restaurants, milk tea shops and other businesses and make money together.

Hao Qiang enthusiastically offered a cigarette to a colleague who came over to make friends. He said modestly, "Hey, I'm a young man who doesn't know much about the business and made some blind investments. Business seems good now, but I don't know how long it will last. I'm lucky if I can get my money back. Please don't laugh at me, seniors."

"Boss Hao is too modest. In the business world, there's no such thing as seniority or not. Success is the key to success."

His colleagues did not expect Hao Qiang to be so humble. They thought he was an arrogant young man and thought to themselves: This young man was able to be admitted to CUHK. He must be a very good person. He must come from a famous family with great prospects.

Hao Qiang did not refuse the idea of ​​partnering in other businesses, but he also did not agree. Let's look for opportunities together.

He has some concerns about the operation of the hot pot restaurant, as the supply of fresh beef is currently not very stable.

Hao Qiang requires that all the beef in the store be yellow beef, and it must be yellow beef brought from Chaoshan.

Generally speaking, after slaughter, cattle will go through three stages: rigor mortis, rapid rigor mortis, and late rigor mortis.

The hysteresis period lasts about 4 to 6 hours. During this period, the muscle elasticity does not change much, and only the glycogen in the muscles gradually breaks down into lactic acid.

Because after more than 4 hours, the beef begins to excrete acid, causing the taste of the beef to gradually deteriorate.

Therefore, in order to ensure the freshness and taste of the beef, the time from slaughtering the live cattle to the customer's table is controlled within 4 hours.

However, this delivery requirement is extremely demanding for suppliers.

Even in Chaoshan, it is difficult to guarantee delivery within 4 hours.

Most stores, especially self-employed ones, usually only deliver beef once a day. Let alone within 4 hours, it would be good if they can guarantee delivery within 6 hours.

In addition to requiring the beef to be as fresh as possible, the requirements for cutting different parts of the beef are also different. For example, three-flowered toe and five-flowered toe are basically cut into thin slices.

In the past, Hao Qiang didn’t know the difference, but after eating fresh beef, he found that the taste was quite different, so he paid special attention to this aspect.

So, hot pot seems easy to copy, but in fact it tests the supply chain.

Especially for beef hotpot, if the beef is fresh, then half the success is achieved.

Next, Hao Qiang focused on the food supply chain with high consumption, especially the supply and quality control of beef.

Although the business of fireworks is booming, only a few dozen kilograms of beef are consumed every day.

Compared with the 300 to 400 kilograms of meat that a yellow cow can produce, this demand is neither large nor small.

On Monday, Hao Qiang communicated with several beef suppliers, aiming to find a partner who could meet his high standards in a long-term and stable manner.

It doesn’t matter if the price is a little higher, he wants to ensure the taste of the beef and maintain the good reputation of the hot pot restaurant.

When Renjian Fireworks opened a chain of stores and the demand for beef increased, the number of cows needed could reach two a day. The supplier could easily meet his requirements by slaughtering one in the morning and another in the afternoon, providing special supplies.

Now, he just hopes that the supply of beef will be enough to satisfy him.

After two busy days, the next two or three days, even if it is not the weekend, the hustle and bustle of life continues to be booming.

Although the turnover has dropped slightly, the daily income fluctuates around 10,000 yuan.

The main theme of "Human Fireworks" guides students to regard "Human Fireworks" as a place for couples' gatherings and birthday parties, and gradually forms an image of it.

October 11th, Thursday.

Hao Qiang and the store manager calculated last month's sales and expenditure.

The total turnover was RMB, and the business was open for 16 days.

The gross profit was about 6 yuan, and the advertising expenses were 750 yuan.

Most employees only started working at the beginning of the month and their working days are less than 30 days.

After deducting miscellaneous expenses, the profit was about 3.5 yuan.

According to Renjian Fireworks' current business situation, its monthly turnover exceeds 30,000 yuan, which has reached the scale of a small-scale taxpayer in the catering industry and is required to pay a 5% business tax (after the tax reform, the tax rate for small-scale taxpayers is 3%).

We will know approximately how much the taxable turnover is when we file our taxes. It is definitely not as much as 10 yuan. Some costs need to be deducted, and Hao Qiang will not report such a high turnover.

Of course, the relevant departments will also conduct regular inspections, and Hao Qiang cannot just report whatever he wants.

If the taxable turnover is 6 yuan and the business tax is 5%, then the tax payable is 3000 yuan.

If there are taxes such as city construction tax, education surtax and local education surtax, they will be calculated at 15% of the taxable amount, that is, 450 yuan in tax.

The after-tax profit is approximately 3.15 yuan.

Hao Qiang has never thought about evading taxes, but he would be happy to do so if he could reasonably avoid taxes.

He is currently short of funds. When he becomes rich and has enough money, he will do charity to give back to society.

The next day was Friday again.

After closing at noon, Hao Qiang paid each employee's salary. After settling the accounts, there was no need to delay it until mid-month.

The employees received their envelopes with smiles on their faces.

“Thank you, boss, business is booming!”

"Haha, brothers, it's time to get food, it's time to get food!"

The employees didn't expect the boss to pay their salaries so quickly. They thought it would be delayed until the end of the month or even next month. This is normal in other restaurants.

Hao Qiang took this opportunity to gather all the store employees and make an important announcement: "Dear employees, business has been good recently. I hope it will continue like this for a long time so that everyone can make a fortune."

"To this end, I have decided to propose a performance system, which will be implemented starting this month. Employees' performance bonuses will be linked to the store's performance."

Hao Qiang saw the shop assistants getting agitated, so he said, "Don't be anxious, just listen to me first."

Store manager Yang Qiuhong also criticized the staff, saying, "Be quiet! The boss hasn't finished speaking yet, and you're interrupting. Mind your manners."

After the employees quieted down, Hao Qiang explained:

"Everyone's basic salary remains the same.

If the turnover reaches 20 yuan last month, the performance fund is 15% of the basic salary.

If the turnover reaches 25 yuan, the performance fund is 20% of the basic salary.

If the turnover reaches 30 yuan, the performance fund is 25% of the basic salary;

The annual turnover exceeds 200 million yuan, and there is a one-month year-end bonus at the end of the year. It is now November, and the year-end bonus system will be implemented from next year.

If you don't exceed the target, you won't get any bonus, and you might even get no year-end bonus. I hope everyone will work hard together."

If employees rely solely on basic salary, their work enthusiasm will decline as they work for a long time. A step-by-step performance bonus system is more appropriate, as it also allows employees to supervise each other's work and increase team cohesion.

The catering industry has a high staff turnover rate. Hao Qiang proposed year-end bonuses, hoping that employees would continue to work for the store for a long time. Constantly recruiting and training new employees would increase management workload and affect the store's work efficiency.

Given the current booming business, the store staff will be expanded to about 19 people, with monthly employee salary costs of approximately 2 yuan. If the monthly turnover reaches 30 yuan, the total employee salary bonus will be 5000 yuan.

Compared with the increased profits for the boss, spending an extra five thousand yuan is nothing.

There is no fixed salary and benefits system. Every company has a different salary system. The only one that best suits the company's development is the most suitable.

In his opinion, the performance reward system proposed by Hao Qiang is relatively reasonable.

As soon as he finished speaking, the employees understood what he said and couldn't help cheering.

According to the store, the average sales volume in the first four days of the month reached 10,000 yuan, and this is not even the weekend.

They may receive the highest level bonus in November, which is equivalent to a 25% salary increase from their boss.

The salaries of Renjian Yanhuo's employees have always been higher than those of their peers, and their requirements are also more stringent. Now that the store's business is good, the boss is generous, and there are performance bonuses, the employees are more motivated to work.

After Hao Qiang finished speaking, he asked the store manager to make a brief speech.

Store manager Yang Qiuhong pondered for a moment, then spoke passionately, "I sincerely thank the boss for his high trust and support in me. On behalf of all employees, I would like to express my gratitude to the boss for giving everyone a good hope.

Under the wise leadership of our boss, our business is thriving.

This brilliant achievement is inseparable from the boss’s wise decision and everyone’s hard work.

I hope everyone will continue to work hard to create even more brilliant achievements together and never let down our boss’s high expectations of us.”

After the store manager finished his speech, the employees gave him a warm round of applause, and the short meeting ended successfully in laughter.

Afterwards, the store manager encouraged everyone to quickly devote themselves to their respective work, take a rest when necessary, and go all out to achieve the highest level of reward goals this month.

Hao Qiang felt happy when he saw the more active working atmosphere, but he didn't know how long this enthusiasm could last.

He plans to launch a membership recharge campaign this Saturday to see how much funds he can attract.
