National Tide 1980

It was also at this time that a man wearing a gold vest and white shirt, dressed as a bartender, replaced the black vest waiter originally ordered by Axia, brought the wine and side dishes, and smiled and said "Hong Kong Pu" to Ning Wei People say hello.

"Ning Sheng, I recognized you as soon as you walked in. Lei is so good..."

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

It was Sheng Zai who was responsible for weighing the money with a scale when he followed Zeng Xianzi to go to Mr. Hong to exchange money in person.

In the future, he made many transactions with Axia in order to go abroad. This Shengzi also participated many times, and he was considered the little boss responsible for security at the mainland bank.

He quickly stood up as well, showing respect with his actions and not being scornful because the other person was of lower status than him.

"A Sheng, it turns out you are here too. Oh, it's so rare. It's unexpected to see you in Tokyo. Come on, let's have a drink together."

This move gained Shengzi a great feeling of closeness, making him smile happily.

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

Several customers in front thought something had happened and turned to look in their direction.

So both Shengzai and Axia quickly persuaded Ning Weimin to return to his seat, and Shengzai even actively declined the invitation.

"Ning Sheng, don't be polite. You are a distinguished guest today, so you should sit down and enjoy yourself. And I have to abide by the rules when I'm at work. Everyone is in Tokyo anyway. If you don't mind, we can find a place to get together some other day. Let’s get together.”

"Okay, we agreed to find a time for everyone to have a drink together. No need to look for any other place, just go to my restaurant to eat, and I will entertain you."

Shengzai agreed with a smile, and didn't say another word. After putting away his things, he bowed and went down in a very orderly manner.

Ning Weimin had seen his arrogant and domineering image in the world, and he couldn't help but feel amazed at this moment.

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

Even a person like Asheng, who is born to rely on hard work to get out of the way, is so flexible and flexible.

To actually be able to work as a bartender is quite an amazing thing.

"Ningsang, please raise a toast. Speaking of which, we are really destined. Just because of the few chance encounters in Tokyo, we should have a toast. But we have to agree that I will pay for all the purchases today. Even if I apologize Sorry. Please don't remember the faults of villains."

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

Ning Weimin took a look and saw that what Axia treated him to was a twenty-one-gun royal salute, a pure British product.

Because the price of Japanese whiskey at this time has not yet been increased, it has not yet gained international recognition.

The price of this blended whiskey is much more expensive than the Yamazaki Twelve Years Old produced in Japan.

If you sell it in a place like this, it will cost you at least 300,000 yen a bottle.

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

Not only are there the dried fruits that Chinese people like, but they also have fruit plates.

He was naturally very appreciative and said, "No, no, you are too polite." Then he clinked glasses with A-Xia.

Then he joked again while sipping his whiskey.

"Oh, I'm going to treat you with admiration after three days of separation. You, the mama-san of Ginza, are different. You even treat guests with a lot more lavishness. It seems that you are really proud of yourself."

Who would have thought that it would be okay if he didn't say this, but when he did, Axia took the initiative to complain.

After hearing this, Ning Weimin realized that Axia's current business situation was similar to that of his Tan Gong Restaurant, and she was also worried about the store's revenue.

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

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

According to Axia, when the store opened two months ago, some customers came to support the store because they felt it was new and they really made a lot of money.

On the best business day, the daily turnover here is close to 10 million.

But after that it didn't work, and the number of guests started to drop.

The current situation is that her store can only receive about three or four groups of customers every night who spend about 400,000 yen.

These are business owners.

There are also eight or nine tables, all with an average consumption of 100,000 yen.

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

However, when it comes to holidays, the business will obviously slow down, after all, customers have to accompany their families.

When customers rest, the store also rests, and there isn't much business.

Therefore, it is estimated that the store's turnover this month can reach 60 million yen, which is good.

However, in terms of operating costs, the water and electricity bills alone cost 1.5 million yen per month, and the purchase of alcohol cost about 10 million yen.

The cost of side dishes and snacks that accompany wine accounts for 4% of the turnover, which is about 2.4 million yen.

In addition, the cost of ice cubes is 600,000 yen, and the 3 million yen per month for flower arrangements in the store may not be enough.

The above rough estimate is nearly 18 million yen.

But that's nothing. What troubles Axia the most is the personnel expenses in the store.

She has to pay 2.4 million yen every month to the eight brothers of the 14K who came with her.

This cannot be said to be salary, it can only be said to be living expenses.

These people were loyal and came with her to protect her and Mr. Hong's daughter. She couldn't let these brothers live a hard life forever. She had to have some money to drink, smoke, go to the sauna, and sing karaoke. Beat Pachinko again.

Otherwise it would be unbearable.

The accountant girl in the store has a monthly salary of 250,000 yen. This girl once worked at a local post office in the countryside.

It is the "East Drifter" who chooses to come to Tokyo to wander. This is the cheapest financial person you can find in Japanese society.

And the escort girls under Axia were hired by her brokers and hired from other clubs at high prices.

Therefore, the daily salary is relatively high. There are eleven people in total, and the average is 45,000 yen per person per day.

As long as they work 20 days a month, they have to pay 9.9 million yen per month. In addition to Axia's daily salary of 50,000 yen, the total is 1.9 million yen.

In total, personnel costs are as high as 13 million yen.

If you add in the share of the BOTTLE bonus given to the accompanying girls for opening the drinks, almost half of the remaining 30 million yen in sales will be deducted, and the gross profit will be barely 15 million yen.

And this is only the gross profit. If you deduct invisible miscellaneous expenses and calculate the cost recovery, depreciation and continued consumption of decoration and supplies, the net profit will be much less, only 10 million yen.

This is still the case where Axia paid for the club's business properties.

Otherwise, if you take into account the high rent in Ginza, the store may have already started to suffer a loss, not to mention that there is no profit at all.

Because of this, when talking about this, Axia couldn't help but thank Shangning Weimin.

"Ning Sang, thank you for giving me detailed guidance and introducing me to a real estate agency. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made up my mind to buy this place decisively. To tell you the truth, in fact, this club It was a good opportunity that I came across when I was working part-time at Dong Jiye. Originally, the store’s mother, Sang, was old and had many chronic diseases, so she didn’t want to worry about buying and selling anymore. She also needed funds urgently to speculate in foreign exchange and even apply for a mortgage loan. They were all too slow. So I happened to have a lot of cash in hand, and I finally negotiated. Not only was the price right, it was only 5 million yen per square meter. The decoration of the store was also very new, and the layout was very good. There was no need for it at all. The changes were too big. In addition, I also received a large commission from Dong Jiye, and then I resigned. Even though it was only such a short period of time, the house price has increased a lot, and I earned at least 60 million yen. . And I also used my house as a mortgage and took out a loan to buy some stocks. The market has been good recently, and my floating profit has been 30 million yen. Speaking of which, I still made a profit. This is not bad. In short, I can have today's life like this All my gains are because of listening to your advice.”

"No, no, you are too humble. Although I said the words, you did the things."

Ning Weimin couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He never expected that Axia would have such luck and perform such an operation.

This is the legendary hustle and bustle, taking advantage of all the advantages.

I have to say, this woman is really shrewd.

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

Why?

No need to ask!

Doesn't it count as good luck for him to meet Axia again?

How does he feel now that he and Axia need to cooperate? There is a possibility of perfect and complementary cooperation between them.

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

If they could go hand in hand, it would be a match made in heaven.

As Ning Weimin expected, it was impossible for a shrewd person like Axia to refuse the cooperation between the two stores.

In fact, as soon as she heard this idea from Ning Weimin, Axia expressed her full approval and support on the spot. It was a mixture of surprise and enthusiasm.

Although the commissions and bonuses given by Ning Weimin ended up in the pockets of the accompanying girls, it seemed that Axia would not get any benefit from them.

But that's not really what happened. In fact, the benefits to Chixia Club cannot be underestimated, and Axia can see this very clearly.

Not to mention anything else, first of all, having extra money can calm people's hearts and make these female public relations more willing to stay and work in Chixia.

Although the current female public relations of Chixia Club are mixed, their quality is not high.

But Axia tried her best to get these people. Without these escort girls, she would not be able to open her business.

So now is not the time for her to pick and choose. On the contrary, she has been worried that there are too few customers in the store, and even the existing escort girls will gradually lose their jobs and move to other places.

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

Secondly, as a businessman, Ning Weimin's business ability has already impressed and convinced Axia.

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

If you think about it, you know that Ning Weimin will definitely introduce guests to Chixia if there is a chance.

These are all things that are good to you and me, and are all things that go unspoken.

It would be foolish of her not to 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 Dangu or Akaka Club, business has improved greatly, and both parties are very satisfied.

Because no matter what, Axia's club also has eleven escort girls.

If she is included, there are twelve people who can help attract customers.

More quantity is also an advantage.

Even the efficiency and quality of Axia's group can't catch up with Maria and her little sisters, the leader of the candlestick.

But I can't stand these people who care more about this side job, like ants moving, they come and go more frequently.

People from the Chixia Club not only take guests here for dinner and supper, but sometimes they can even make an extra round at noon.

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

Dining with the "companion" guests at Tan Gong Restaurant became the only hope for the escort girls to make money, and of course they tried their best.

In addition, Ginza Danmiya's craftsmanship is also good at making faces, and it can attract repeat customers in itself.

Even the simplest meals such as porridge, noodles and snacks are enough to drive Japanese people crazy.

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

Not only did they not feel like they were being ripped off, but they were actually very grateful to the lady who brought them here.

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

Some people would even take the initiative to make an appointment with the lady who introduced them to eat here again because they were so obsessed with the food at Tan Palace.

Invisibly, it also increases the income of these escort girls.

Then think about it, can business in Ginza still be booming?

Let's put it this way, because of the joining of Axia's group, even Maria, who had cooperated with Tan Gong earlier, felt the pressure of competition and became more serious about her part-time job at Tan Gong Restaurant.

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

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

It was this subconscious competition between the two factions that allowed Dangu to quickly recover to an average daily turnover of five million yen.

It may be insufficient to say that Ginza Danmiya has been resurrected with full blood, but this level is enough to appease the anxiety and worries of domestic employees and turn a profit.

If all expenses are removed, about 20% of the turnover will be left as profit in the end.

In short, the situation improved beyond imagination, which made Ning Weimin breath a sigh of relief, which was actually a bit satisfying.

The key is that he knows very well that this is a trend reversal.

As for a restaurant, the more prosperous it is, the more customers it will have.

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

So that's what matters most.

As long as we continue to maintain this momentum and operate well, the day will come sooner or later when the Ginza Altar Palace is full.
