Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 79 Shocking Sales
In the store, Chen Huajiang is sitting in front of the counter, applying for membership cards and patiently explaining the business to the customers who come to apply for membership cards.

"Our membership card can be used at Kunlun restaurants in any city, as long as there are Kunlun restaurants in the city."

"There will be no time limit, only balance limit. You will be deducted as much as you use, and there is no time limit."

"How about it later? Sorry, this is the opening event of our store. There may be similar events in the future, but they will definitely not happen in a short time."

Chen Huajiang explained to the guests with a smile, some of which were also misleading.

This is the case with so-called Kunlun restaurants in other cities, but that will happen in the future.

When Chen Huajiang took over this place, he already had plans to turn it into a chain industry, just like he did in his previous life.

So in a sense, it's not a lie. At most, it's a lie.

"I charged ten yuan."

"I'll apply for a five-yuan membership card."

"I'll do it for ten yuan."

"Here's a 20-yuan one."

………………

There were many members applying for cards at the counter, and Chen Huajiang helped them quickly.

There are two copies of the membership card, one is the card in the guest's hand, and the other is recorded on the store's file bag.

Whenever a guest makes a purchase, the amount of the purchase will be added to the page where the membership card is recorded, so that it is well documented.

This is also due to the environment. At present, let alone the popularization of computers, there is not even a shadow.It will take at least ten years before computers will appear in China.

Even so, even the original Internet cafes did not have a deduction system, and members' consumption was recorded by handwriting.

"This fried chicken drumstick tastes good, tender, crispy and delicious."

"Yes, it does taste good. It's quite delicious."

"The soup here is free, bring me a bowl."

The store was also full of customers. Although they didn't order much, they were still very impressed with the taste of the food in the store.

These are chicken legs that Chen Huajiang marinated according to the ingredients in his previous life, wrapped in bread crumbs and deep-fried. The oil used was all well-known, and some alum was added.

It can be said that it is a bit more delicious than the fried chicken legs of later generations, because the materials of this era were better.

"One dollar, forget it, let's just have half a membership card."

"Yes, one yuan for a fried chicken drumstick is too expensive, but it only costs [-] cents to get a membership card, so save it."

"I'm going to apply for a membership card. I can't suffer any loss."

Some customers who were about to check out after eating also murmured that if you get one for one with a membership card, you are spending at half price, but if you don't have a membership card, you are spending at the original price, which is equivalent to losing half of the money.

With this idea, many diners also queued up and applied for membership cards.

When it was time to close the shop in the evening, everyone looked tired.

"Thank you for your hard work today."

"This is a red envelope, a little bit of gratitude."

Chen Huajiang was also full of exhaustion, but when he saw Zhang Hong and Wang Cuihua rubbing their necks and looking tense, he took out the red envelope he had prepared and handed it to them.

"This, what a shame."

"Yes, the boss has already given us a month's salary. Why do we still have the nerve to take your red envelope?"

The two women said with some embarrassment, but under Chen Huajiang's stalemate, they still accepted it with happy faces.

The red envelope was not much, but it represented Chen Huajiang's concern for them and made the two of them feel warm.

Wang Guobing, Li Jianguo, and the two apprentices, Chen Huajiang also gave them red envelopes, and everyone was very happy for a while.

Then came Heihu's subordinates. After all, after working as "sitters" for a day, it was impossible for Chen Huajiang not to give them wages. This red envelope was equivalent to their wages.

"Thank you Brother Chen."

"Thank you, Boss Chen."

Their red envelopes should be more, a full two yuan, which made the boys laugh very happily.

After everyone left, only a few shareholders such as Chen Huajiang and Hei Hu were left in the store, as well as the father-in-law who was still busy playing jigsaw puzzle.

"I didn't expect the business to be so good. I thought it was not famous on the first day of business and I couldn't make any money."

"No, my legs are sore from running today. I didn't expect everyone to be so supportive and business to be so good."

"Brother Chen is still smart, and he actually came up with so many tricks. But did you lose money on your membership card? No matter how you calculate it, I think you will lose half of the money."

At this time, they were all on their own, and no one had any scruples. They sat swaying around, drinking water and chatting.

Following Da Guang's words, everyone looked at Chen Huajiang.

Chen Huajiang was counting today's income. He laughed when he heard this. He glanced at them and said, "You really take the original price as the original price. Are you willing to eat chicken drumsticks for one dollar? If you are not willing to part with it, why do you think the guests are willing to eat it."

"Actually, this is a trick. It is said to be the original price. In fact, the actual transaction price is still the membership price. Although this membership card is recharge one and get one free, the free one cannot be withdrawn and can only be consumed in our store. Now you understand, it’s not that we lost money, it’s that we didn’t intend to set the price so high at all.”

"In the future, it can be said that all customers in our store are members and everyone has a membership card. So essentially, none of them are members. What's the difference?"

Chen Huajiang smiled and shook his head. In later generations, this would only be understood by a three-year-old child, but it was completely a bad street routine. But here, everyone saw it for the first time, and they actually felt "simple" and felt that the store was at a loss.

really-

Chen Huajiang smiled. People in this era rarely see tricks. They are really simple and cute.

"This--"

"Oh my god, Brother Chen, you are so awesome, you actually thought of such a method."

"Awesome, really awesome. It almost made me go around. Putting it this way, our store is really not at a loss."

After a while, everyone suddenly realized that they had come out of the charge-one-get-one-free routine and looked at Chen Huajiang with admiration.

I admire his flexible mind and means.

"Isn't this a lie?"

Suddenly a voice sounded, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Everyone looked at it, it was Chen Huajiang's father-in-law, Lin Laogen, who was frowning with a cigarette stick in his mouth.

He also held a plane in his hand and was shaving and polishing the tangram.

Knowing that Lin Laogen was Chen Huajiang's father-in-law, everyone couldn't say anything and could only remain silent.

"Dad, what you said is wrong. To lie is to deceive others. We tell others everything clearly."

"In the future, people who don't have membership cards will still consume at the price of one yuan per chicken drumstick, of course, if they are willing to spend that money. And those who have membership cards will also consume at the price that everyone has explained to each other, clearly and clearly. Bai Bai, how can you lie to others?"

"I'm just taking advantage of everyone's desire to take advantage and artificially create a way that looks cheap at first glance so that everyone can spend money here."

Chen Huajiang explained to his father-in-law.

However, the father-in-law still shook his head, obviously not agreeing with Chen Huajiang's statement, but he said nothing more.

Seeing him like this, Chen Huajiang didn't bother to say anything. Nowadays, people are more simple and pay attention to straightforwardness, and they really look down on such roundabout tricks.

But in a few years, such routines will be everywhere.

"Phew - it's finally over. A total of 340 membership cards were issued today. Most of them are ten-yuan membership cards, and there are relatively few five-yuan and 20-yuan membership cards."

"A total of 350 yuan was recorded. After excluding today's labor costs and operating costs, the remaining 810 yuan is [-] yuan."

Chen Huajiang put down the abacus, rubbed his numb shoulders and said.

Following his words, everyone looked at him with eyes wide open and a look of astonishment on their faces.

Even Lin Laogen stopped the plane and the cigarette rod in his mouth fell to the ground with a clatter.

Three thousand, five hundred and fifty yuan was entered into the account, and two thousand, eight hundred and fifteen yuan was left.

This is simply stealing money!
