Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 106 Turning losses into profits
"Losing money? How could you lose money?"

"Today's total income is 150 yuan and [-] cents. After excluding operating costs, the net profit is about [-] yuan."

Chen Huajiang just finished settling the accounts, looked at Scanner Heihu and others with a smile and said.

"What!? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

After a moment, Hei Hu stood up and said with a shocked look on his face.

Then he strode to the counter, picked up the account book on the counter, and calculated it himself. It was obvious that he did not believe what Chen Huajiang said.

"how is this possible!"

"impossible?"

"Brother Chen, you must have made a mistake."

All of his subordinates, including the chef who was still in the store, looked at Chen Huajiang with disbelief.

Chen Huajiang didn't say anything, smiled, shrugged his shoulders and walked away, found an empty table under the table, and lit a cigarette casually.

Many people look down on small profits but quick turnover, just like people look down on roadside stalls or some stalls selling breakfast or fast food.

Although the profit per unit is not high, the overall profit is very high.

In later generations, many people relied on small restaurants to buy houses and cars, and with the development of the Internet, many people suddenly realized that small businesses they usually looked down on could be so profitable.

"Brother Tiger, how are you doing?"

"Brother Tiger, haven't you settled yet?"

"Is it a profit or a loss? I don't believe you can make so much in one day."

Hei Hu answered the question over and over again, and the time passed by, making his subordinates impatient to wait, and even complained in their hearts whether Hei Hu had failed elementary school mathematics.

The reconciliation of this kind of journal account can only be done by addition and subtraction, and there is no need for multiplication and division.

"How did this happen, why did this happen!?"

Heihu checked it three times and confirmed it three times. It turned out to be a profit, and he made a profit of 150 yuan a day.

No matter how much he didn't believe it now, he could only believe it no matter how hard the facts were.

Because the person who collects the money is his younger brother, and the waiters are also his younger brothers. Except for Chen Huajiang, everyone in this store belongs to him.

Including the chef, he brought them here, or in other words, they came here through threats and inducements.

Unless Chen Huajiang bought everyone, including the customers who came to spend, and made them deliberately spend more money, otherwise the bill would never be wrong.

So what's left in Heihu's heart is confusion and confusion. Why is this happening?

"it is true?!"

"Oh my God, how is this possible, making a hundred and fifty in one day?"

"Aren't you losing money? What on earth is going on?"

The younger brothers around him were also shocked. There was a moment of restlessness, and each other's faces were full of doubts. They all looked at Chen Huajiang along with Black Tiger.

"It's very simple. You can't just look at one aspect of catering. The areas where you lose money may not be the key to profitability."

"You only see the losses of Tofu Nao, and you only see that the pickle bags are given away for free, but you don't see that they have brought in customer traffic and brought in a large number of customers who want to take advantage."

"The tofu nao in our store is not sweet, it's all idle. Salty tofu nao and pickled vegetable buns, do you want some other food after eating? Have a fried egg, a poached egg or a steamed bun, meat buns Category?"

Chen Huajiang exhaled smoke and explained with a smile.

"I see."

"So it is."

"It turns out to be this truth. I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it."

The group of people suddenly realized it and looked at Chen Huajiang with admiration.

This principle was a bad idea in later generations. Many restaurants provided free pickles and salty kelp soup just to appetize their guests.

These things are also called appetizers. Only when guests have an appetizer can they eat more and earn more money.

But at the moment, Chen Huajiang dare not say that he is a pioneer in the country. After all, there are still coastal cities, as well as cities across the sea that have not been recovered, and a certain rebel province should already have such a routine.

But in Nanming City, this routine has not yet appeared. After all, there are very few restaurants, and most workers eat in canteens.

"That's not right. What I saw is that most of the customers did not buy other food, but only ate tofu pudding and pickle buns and left."

"Yes, that's what I saw."

"Me too, I can't say everything, but most of the customers only consumed tofu puffs and vegetable buns."

Then several waiters frowned, looked at Chen Huajiang and said doubtfully.

Heihu and Ermao also nodded. They also looked at this aspect very clearly, and couldn't help but look at Chen Huajiang with doubts.

"Is this really true? You walk on the street every day and you see hundreds or even thousands of people on a street. Do you remember them?"

"No, you don't care at all who the people walking on the street are or what they do. Only when people glare at you or step on you can you remember them."

"You instinctively ignore those who take extra food, and those who 'take advantage' are resented by you with gritted teeth, so in the end, in your hearts, only those who 'take advantage' are recorded. Memory will lie, but data will not .”

Chen Huajiang laughed, put out the cigarette butt, and pointed to the accounting book on the counter.

This principle is true in many places. People's brains may not necessarily record good things, but they will definitely record bad things.

For example, in a school or a class, naughty children will still be remembered by their teachers even decades later.On the contrary, if you attend class honestly, well-behaved students will be forgotten by the teacher within two years.

The same is true in hospitals, and doctors can't remember those who lined up to see a doctor to get medicine step by step, and those who fought in doctors, of course they will remember clearly.

"So it is!"

"I really didn't expect that my eyes and brain deceived me. If it weren't for the account book recording the guests' consumption, I would hardly believe it."

"No, I didn't believe it just now. I was determined that I must have lost a lot today. I didn't expect that Boss Chen is so good. This catering business does require skills."

All the subordinates suddenly realized it and agreed with and understood Chen Huajiang's explanation.

Black Tiger also nodded slightly and looked at Chen Huajiang with admiration.

At this moment, he knew in his heart that he was really inferior to the other party in doing business, and he was completely convinced.

However, Heihu would not give up doing business. On the contrary, he became more determined to do business and strengthened his idea of ​​becoming a good friend with Chen Huajiang.

This kind of money-making speed is much faster than wandering around in the world. Especially what happened at the mass grave made Black Tiger deeply understand the truth. The rich elder brother is the real elder brother.

The eldest brother and the younger brother who have no money will even leave him.

In the past few days, there had been continuous losses, and people's hearts were wandering. Black Tiger was not blind, so he could see clearly. His younger brother even talked back to him on the spot.

"Brother Hu, brothers have been tired for a long day, why don't you give me some red envelopes?"

Chen Huajiang suddenly walked over and whispered to Hei Hu.

Heihu was still thinking, he didn't hear clearly for a moment, and looked at Chen Huajiang stupidly.

Then he came to his senses and nodded gratefully, knowing in his heart that this was Chen Huajiang giving him the opportunity to be a "good guy".

"Brothers have also been tired all day, and Heihu got tired after following me."

"If I still can't make money despite being affected, then I, Black Tiger, will really be a failure."

"Ten yuan per person is just a token of my gratitude to my brothers for their trust, and it is also a way to make up for the fear and fear I caused you in the past few days."

Black Tiger stood up, waved his arms, looked at his men and said loudly.

"Brother Tiger, what are you talking about?"

"Brother Tiger is righteous!"

"Thank you Brother Tiger!"

The younger brothers immediately beamed with smiles, and looked at Brother Tiger with admiration and admiration.

This also made Heihu more determined to make money. Whether they have money or not, the changes in these young men are really huge, at least in his opinion.
