Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 105 Store Reform
It was obviously a matter of refunding the amount in the membership card, but in the end Chen Huajiang ended up purchasing one hundred tons of oranges.

This made Heihu and others confused and unable to understand Chen Huajiang's operation.

"Boss Chen, that's a hundred tons of oranges. You can't come in and sell them slowly, right?"

"This is not realistic at all. Every year when their orange harvest is harvested, the farmers in Wuxing Township come to the market to sell oranges. Don't say 2 minutes, sometimes they cost a penny for a catty, or even a penny for two catties."

"And the oranges won't last long, so you're going to die."

Heihu thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why Chen Huajiang bought so many oranges. In the end, it could only be attributed to Chen Huajiang's desire to be a middleman and make a fortune.

Chen Huajiang smiled and did not continue the conversation on this topic.

He wasn't joking before. He had great use for these oranges, and they were indeed used to make juice.

In later generations of catering companies, who didn’t have a large amount of orange juice in their store?

Freshly squeezed oranges are not only a gimmick, but it is not a problem that the orange juice will not go bad for a year in later generations.

The simplest example, who bought a drink that went bad after being stored for a few days?Even if you leave the lid open for a few weeks, the flavor will still remain the same.

There are many ways to be safe, usually by adding preservatives, but Chen Huajiang doesn't plan to do that. He has a better way.

Of course, there is no need to tell Heihu and others about these things. In a sense, this is also a means of making money. It seems that it only appeared in the 90s in later generations.

"Clear all the tables here to the front room on the right."

"The boiler will be left on the left side, and the walls will need to be rebuilt. Someone will be required to build the middle wall. In terms of space, the ratio of the left and right facade rooms should be 1:4."

"The area on the left is simply the kitchen, and fried chicken and French fries are not provided for food. In addition, food such as noodles, buns, and fried rice are also provided. The area on the right is the dining area."

Chen Huajiang then directed Heihu and others to redesign the store.

Although Heihu was a little dissatisfied, he had already let the word out before that Chen Huajiang had the final say in the renovation of the store, so he could only nod at this time.

That's it, three days.

In the past three days, the store has been undergoing re-planning and decoration, and crowds of people often gather at the door to watch the excitement.

Someone said that the store was going to close down, and some said it was re-transferred. In short, it was a bad topic, because the store of Heihu had a really bad reputation among the public.

So the next day, someone came to refund the amount in the membership card, but Chen Huajiang refused.

There is no rule without rules. Since it is scheduled to refund the membership card balance on the third day of opening, then it will be the third day.

And he also thought that these people could bring some popularity in time!

Even negative popularity is still popularity.

So when it opened on the third day, there were already a lot of people crowding outside.

"Refund!"

"Refund!"

"I'm here to refund the money!"

Already on tenterhooks, customers flocked to the store and shouted slogans for refunds.

"This store will never be opened. It made me laugh. After the decoration was completed, my money was refunded on the first day!"

"Hmph, the owner of this shop is also stupid. If it were me, how could such a thing be done with great fanfare, and it would be over if people secretly refunded the money. Even if they have to be refunded collectively, isn't this a bad reputation?"

"Let me tell you, the food in this store is extremely expensive, and you won't be satisfied even if you spend money on it. Whoever eats it will be stupid!"

The previous reputation still continued, and many people in the crowd said disdainfully.

But soon, crowds of people poured into the store.

because--

"Tofu brain, tofu brain, five cents a bowl, five cents a bowl. Members will get a pickle bun as an extra!"

“Happy opening, every bowl of tofu puffs is priced at 1 cents, and the first [-] people will get a pickle bun for free!”

"Freshly baked tofu nao, a big bowl costs five cents. It doesn't cost money if it's not good."

The waiters arranged at the door shouted loudly and solicited customers.

At the farmer's market, many breakfast shops also sell tofu nao, usually for ten cents a bowl.

Now the price in the store is only half price, how can everyone not be tempted.

Word-of-mouth without reputation is of no use in low-end restaurants. For low-end restaurants, price is king!

Soon the store was filled with people, and the waiters shuttled among the crowd, serving bowls of tofu puffs to the customers.

Some people who were planning to refund their membership balances also took advantage of the situation and moved to the store. They first had a free pickle bag and then refunded their cards. They also calculated their accounts shrewdly.

This busyness lasted until nine o'clock in the morning, and the number of guests gradually became rare.

The waiters in the store were very busy, and many people were lying on the table drinking cold water.

Chen Huajiang also took a break from his busy schedule and walked to the door to smoke a cigarette and relax.

"Brother Chen, why are you like this - aren't you losing money?"

At this time, Heihu came over with Ermao and Yiqian brothers. His face was full of tangles and doubts.

The cost of tofu nao is only [-] cents. Putting aside the water, electricity, labor and rent, it is obvious that it is a loss.

Moreover, the members and the first 1 people also gave a steamed stuffed bun, which added to the losses.

Er Mao and Yi Qian's younger brothers also looked at Chen Huajiang in confusion. It was their first time to see Chen Huajiang lose money in business, and naturally they were full of doubts.

“Whether it’s a loss or not can’t just look at one aspect, but should be looked at comprehensively.”

"Let's wait until we settle accounts in the evening. Let's take a rest first. There will be a wave of customers at noon. Tell the chef to prepare more rice. At noon, we will focus on egg fried rice and rice bowls. Of course, we must prepare enough noodles."

Chen Huajiang was also very tired and didn't bother to talk. He took a breath and gave Er Mao instructions.

The other party nodded, and entered the shop to explain to the two chefs.

Seeing that Chen Huajiang looked tired and didn't want to say more, Heihu had no choice but to keep his doubts in his heart unhappily and prepare to attack again when the account books were summarized in the evening.

Although half of the store's share was given to Chen Huajiang, the other half was in the hands of him and his brothers, and they couldn't let Chen Huajiang do whatever he wanted.

Moreover, in Heihu's heart, there was still some vague desire to compete with Chen Huajiang.

In this way, it was busy again at noon, and again in the evening.

It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that there were fewer and fewer customers in the store, and the last table of guests left. It was already 09:30, and Chen Huajiang ordered to close.

"I'm so exhausted. I never thought I would be this tired before."

"Isn't that right? There are too many customers today, and they all come here to take advantage."

"Don't tell me, I almost threw a bowl of tofu on someone's head in the store this morning. That guy was so shameless. He even refunded most of the balance of his membership card, leaving only a dime in the card. . He said proudly that he would come to our store every day to take advantage of us, eat buns for nothing, and eat us up."

One of his subordinates was lying on the table, relaxing and complaining at the same time.

One of the guys with a short haircut had an angry face, and he was obviously very angry when he talked about someone's "shameless" operation during the day.

"Brother Chen, there is no way to go on like this. We lose today, lose tomorrow, and lose the day after tomorrow. How long can we lose?"

Heihu seized the opportunity to attack and looked at Chen Huajiang who was settling accounts at the counter.
