National Tide 1980.

Also at this time, a man in a white shirt with a golden vest—the bartender costume—replaced the black vest waiter that Axia had ordered, brought up the wine and side dishes, and said "Gangpu" to Ning Wei with a smile. People say hello.

"Ning Sheng, I recognized you as soon as you entered the door, Lei Hao..."

After Ning Weimin took a closer look, he discovered that he was also Mr. Hong's subordinate, an "old friend" he had met in the past.

It was Shengzi who was in charge of weighing the money with pounds when he followed Zeng Xianzi to find Mr. Hong to exchange money face to face.

In the future, he made many deals with Axia to go abroad, and this Shengzi also participated in many times. He can be regarded as the little boss in charge of security at the mainland bank.

He quickly stood up too, showing respect with actions, not being contemptuous just because the other party's status was lower than his own.

"Asheng, so you are here too. Oh, it's so rare, it's really unexpected to see you in Tokyo. Come, let's have a drink together."

Such behavior gained Shengzi a great sense of intimacy, which made him smile in relief.

However, Ning Weimin's behavior was abnormal in such a club, and it alarmed other guests.

Several guests in front thought that something happened and turned their heads to look at them.

So both Sheng Zi and A Xia hurriedly persuaded Ning Weimin to return to his seat, and Sheng Zi declined the invitation on his own initiative.

"Ning Sheng, don't be polite. You are a distinguished guest today, and you should sit down and enjoy yourself. I am at work, so I have to obey the rules. Anyway, everyone is in Tokyo. If you don't mind, let's find a special place to get together another day. Get together."

"Okay, it's settled, let's find a time and have a drink together. You don't need to find any other place, just go to my restaurant for dinner, and I'll treat you all."

Sheng Zai responded with a smile, and didn't say anything more. After putting away the things, he bowed and went down very well.

Ning Weimin had seen his arrogant and domineering Jianghu image before, so he couldn't help being amazed at this moment.

He really didn't know how Ah Xia or Mr. Hong trained his subordinates.

Even a person like Ah Sheng, who is born to rely on ruthlessness to get sideways, is so flexible.

To be able to do the technical job of being a bartender is quite remarkable.

"Ning Sang, please raise your glass. Speaking of it, we are really destined. We should have a toast just because of the chance encounters in Tokyo. But it has to be said, I will buy all the expenses today. Even if I apologize Yes. Please don’t remember the villain’s mistakes, my lord.”

While speaking, Axia had already blended the whiskey with ice and water, and filled a glass for Ning Weimin herself.

Ning Weimin saw that Axia treated him to a 21-gun royal salute, pure British goods.

At this time, the price of Nissan whiskey has not been raised, nor has it gained international recognition.

The price of this kind of blended whiskey is much more expensive than Yamazaki 12 years old produced in Japan.

Selling it in such a place costs at least 30 yen a bottle.

The side dishes are also very generous, not the usual three, but six.

There are not only dried fruits that Chinese people like, but also fruit plates.

Naturally, he was also very sympathetic, saying, "Where are you, you are too polite", and then clinked glasses with Ah Xia.

Then, while sipping whiskey, he joked again.

"Oh, you should treat each other with admiration for three days. Your mother-san in Ginza is different. Even the treats are much more generous. It seems that you are really proud of yourself."

Who knew that it would be better not to say this, but when she said it, Axia took the initiative to complain.

After hearing this, Ning Weimin realized that Ah Xia's current business situation was similar to that of his Tangong restaurant, and he was also worrying about the store's revenue.

Yes, it is true that the Ginza Club makes money like a money printing machine, but the premise must be that there are enough guests.

Because the Chixia Club is a new store, the customer base is insufficient, and the level of customers is also lacking. In fact, it is far from being as good as it seems on the surface.

According to Axia, at the beginning of the store opening two months ago, some customers felt that it was a novelty to come to join in, and they really made a lot of money.

On the best day of business, the daily turnover here is close to [-] million.

But after that, the number of guests began to decline day by day.

The current situation is that her store can only receive three or four groups of customers who can spend about 40 yen per night.

These are business owners.

There are also eight or nine other tables, all with an average consumption of [-] yen.

These people include doctors and lawyers who operate nearby, as well as executives of large companies.

But when it comes to rest days, the business will obviously slow down, after all, the guests have to accompany their families.

When customers rest, the store is also equivalent to rest, and there is not much business.

So it is estimated that the store's turnover this month can reach 6000 million yen, which is not bad.

However, in terms of operating costs, water and electricity bills alone cost 150 million yen per month, and alcohol purchases cost about 1000 million yen.

The cost of side dishes and snacks accounts for 240% of the turnover, which is about [-] million yen.

In addition, the cost of ice cubes is 60 yen, and 300 million yen per month for flower arrangements in the store may not be enough.

The above rough estimate is nearly 800 million yen.

But this is not a big deal, what bothers Ah Xia the most is actually the store's personnel expenses.

She has to pay 240 million yen a month to the eight brothers of [-]K who came with her.

This can't be called salary anymore, it can only be called living expenses.

These people are loyal, and they came here to protect her and Mr. Hong's daughter. She can't let these brothers live a hard life, she has to be more relaxed, have some money to drink and smoke, go to the sauna, sing karaoke, Play pachinko again.

Otherwise, I can't bear it.

The accountant in the store has a monthly salary of 25 yen. This girl once worked in a local post office in the countryside.

It is the "Dong Piao" who chooses to come to Tokyo to wander. This is the cheapest financial staff that can be found in Japanese society.

And the hostesses under Axia's staff were all recruited by her brokers from other clubs at high prices.

Therefore, the daily salary is relatively high. There are eleven people in total, with an average of [-] yen per person per day.

As long as they attend work 20 days a month, they will have to pay 90 million yen per month. Adding Axia's daily salary of 90 yen, the total will be [-] million yen.

In general, personnel costs are as high as 300 million yen.

If the BOTTLE bonus share given to the hostesses is added, the remaining 3000 million yen turnover will be deducted by half, and the gross profit is barely 500 million yen.

And this is just gross profit. If you deduct invisible miscellaneous expenses and calculate the cost return, depreciation and continuous consumption of decoration and supplies, the net profit will be much less, which is only 1000 million yen.

As far as this is concerned, it is still the case that the club's business real estate is bought by Axia.

Otherwise, taking into account the high rent in Ginza, let alone no profit at all, the store may have already begun to create a deficit.

Because of this, Axia couldn't help but thank Shangning Weimin again when it came to this point.

"Ning Sang, it's thanks to you for guiding me in detail and introducing me to work as a real estate agency. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made up my mind and made a decisive move to buy this place. To tell you the truth, in fact, this club It was a good opportunity when I was working part-time in Dongjiye. Originally, the store’s mother Sang was old and had many chronic diseases, so she didn’t want to worry about business anymore. And she urgently needed funds to speculate in foreign exchange and even take out mortgage loans. It’s too slow. So I just happened to have a lot of cash in my hand, and I finally negotiated. Not only is the price right, only 500 million yen per square meter. Moreover, the decoration of this store is also very new, and the layout is also very good. There is no need to change it at all. Too big. In addition, I also got a huge commission from Dongjiye, which is why I resigned. Although it is only such a short time now, the house price has risen a lot, and I have earned at least 6000 million yen. And I also mortgaged my house and bought some stocks with a loan. The market has been good recently, and the floating profit has reached 3000 million yen. Speaking of which, I still made money. This is not bad. In short, I can have today’s day, such a harvest, It's all because of your advice."

"Where is it, you are too modest. Although I said the words, you did the things."

Ning Weimin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he never thought that Axia would have such luck and would perform such an operation.

This is the legendary "grabbing grass and beating rabbits", taking advantage of all the advantages.

I have to say that this woman is really shrewd.

And now, he is no longer just happy for Ah Xia's luck and intelligence, he is also happy for himself.

why?
Why don't you ask!
Could it be that he was lucky to meet Axia again?

How does he feel now that he and Axia need to cooperate, and there is a possibility of perfectly complementary cooperation between them.

And the most important thing is that a certain sense of trust has been established between them, which is the most conducive to the success of cooperation.

If they can go hand in hand, it's a match made in heaven.

Then, as Ning Weimin expected, it was impossible for someone as shrewd as Axia to refuse the cooperation between the two stores.

In fact, upon hearing this idea from Ning Weimin, Axia expressed her full approval and support on the spot.

Although the commissions and bonuses given by Ning Weimin ended up in the pockets of the hostesses, it seemed that Axia didn't get much benefit from them.

But this is really not the case. In fact, the benefits to Chixia Club should not be underestimated. Axia can see this very clearly.

Among other things, first of all, earning extra money can stabilize people's hearts, which will make these female publicists more willing to work in Chixia.

Although the current female publicists of the Chixia Club vary in quality, the quality is still not high.

But these people were also brought together by Ah Xia's best efforts. Without these hostesses, she couldn't do business.

So it's not the time for her to pick and choose. Instead, she has been worried that there are too few customers in the store, and even the existing hostesses will gradually lose, and then they will move to other places.

In this way, the opportunity provided by Ning Weimin could just help her retain these people, which undoubtedly relieved her a lot of pressure.

Secondly, as a businessman, Ning Weimin's business ability has already made Ah Xia admire and convince him.

In her heart, Ning Weimin must also have a wide range of contacts and know people of high level.

Then I also know that if there is a chance, Ning Weimin will definitely introduce guests to Chixia.

These are all good things for you and me, all without saying anything.

She would be stupid if she didn't agree.

In this way, the two of them hit it off and joined forces.

In the following week, the effect of cooperation was also quite obvious.

Whether it is Ginza Tangong or Chixia Club, the business has improved greatly, and both parties are very satisfied.

Because anyway, there are eleven hostesses in Axia's club.

If you add herself, twelve people can help attract customers.

Quantity is also an advantage.

Even the efficiency and quality of soliciting customers from Axia's group can't catch up with Maria and her little sisters.

But these people can't help but care more about this sideline business, like ants moving, they come and go more frequently.

The members of the Chixia Club not only take their guests here for dinner and supper, but sometimes they even make an appointment at noon.

Especially on weekends, because customers with wives have no excuse to wander out on public holidays.

The "companion" guests at Tangong Restaurant have become the only hope of making money for the girls who accompany the wine, and of course they have tried their best.

In addition, the craftsmanship of Ginza Altar Palace also makes faces, which can attract repeat customers by itself.

Even the simplest meals such as porridge, noodles and dim sum are enough to make the Japanese feel stupid.

This has made many guests brought by the hostess become loyal fans.

Not only did he not feel like being slaughtered, but he also thanked the lady who brought them here.

Thank them for leading me to taste delicious authentic Chinese food.

Even later, some people will take the initiative to ask the lady who introduced them because they can't forget the dishes of the altar palace, and come here for dinner together.

Invisibly also increased the income of these hostess girls.

Then think about it, is the business in Ginza still hot?
Let's put it this way, because of the addition of Axia and the group, even Maria, who had cooperated with Tangong earlier, felt the pressure of competition, and took the part-time job at Tangong Restaurant more seriously.

Unconsciously, Maria added homework to herself and spent two hours a day calling her clients.

This is the result of one plus one greater than two.

It is also this kind of subconscious competition between the two factions that allowed Tangong to quickly recover to an average daily turnover of 500 million yen.

It may not be enough to say that the Ginza Altar Palace has been revived with full blood, but this level is enough to appease the anxiety and worries of domestic employees and turn losses into profits.

If all the expenses are removed, about [-]% of the turnover can be left as profit in the end.

In short, the improvement of the situation was beyond imagination, which made Ning Weimin breathe a sigh of relief, which was really a bit dark.

The key is that he is very clear that this is a trend reversal.

As for the restaurant, the more prosperous it is, the more customers there will be.

If there are fewer and fewer people, old customers will gradually lose.

So that's what matters.

As long as we continue to maintain this momentum and continue to operate well, the day when the Ginza Altar Palace will be full will come sooner or later. (end of this chapter)
