Chapter 1176: The Storm Is Coming
So when Chen Geng arrived and asked the workers what they thought of the restaurant, the workers' attitudes were unprecedentedly unanimous......
"Mr. Fernandez, will you be able to eat as much as you do today?"
"I promise you," Chen Geng nodded affirmatively: "I promise that the food provided in AMC's cafeteria is not guaranteed to be better than today, but it will definitely not be worse than today." ”
"But Mr. Fernández, is this restaurant really not going to lose money?" the worker asked Chen Geng again, "With all due respect, we can't understand how you can guarantee that you won't lose money." ”
Hearing someone ask this question, many workers who were eating didn't even know what to eat, and hurriedly gathered around to listen to what Chen Geng said, it can be said that this worker's question represents the voice of all the workers on the scene: so much, such a good food, the company's canteen really won't lose money?
Everyone understands a truth, if the canteen will not lose money, then the company will continue to operate the canteen, but if it loses money, the canteen may be closed when it will be, for the workers who have tasted the sweetness for the first time today, they are extremely hopeful that the canteen can continue to operate, but the problem at hand is also very realistic: so much, such a good food, the company really will not lose money?
Facing the worried eyes of the workers, Chen Geng bowed slightly: "I know that before this, your union chairman Michelle · Mr. W. April has previously explained to you the composition of the cafeteria fund, which is the $0.99 you pay, the subsidy provided by the union, and the $1 subsidy per person in the company, so that, on average, the cost of each meal per person is $2.5 more.
Gentlemen, believe me, if you just talk about raw materials, you can't eat so much money, and some gentlemen may say, if I support steak and pork chops, won't I be able to eat it back? I know some of you must think so, right?"
The workers laughed, and apparently some of them did think so.
"What I'm going to say is that you think too much, whether it's steak or pork chops, they are all available in limited quantities, and each person can only receive one," Chen Geng was also smiling: " So if you want to eat all-you-can-eat steak, that's not possible, I can't tell you the specific price of the raw materials in the canteen, because it involves our contract with the food raw material supplier, but you can refer to the price of special items in the supermarket, such as chicken thighs, a 5-pound bag of frozen chicken thighs costs only $1.99, and as a long-term, high-volume procurement partner of food suppliers, the price of chicken thighs they provide to us is much cheaper than this. ”
Hey?
Hearing Chen Geng's statement that a 5-pound bag of frozen chicken thighs in the supermarket cost only $1.99, the workers were stunned: Is this so?
"Mr. Fernández is right," a worker in the crowd whispered, "My wife bought a bag of chicken drumsticks last week, and I remember it was like $2." ”
"According to Mr. Fernandez, the price of the goods in our canteen is even lower, so maybe the chicken thighs purchased in the canteen don't even need $1.5 for 5 pounds?"
"It's hard to say, but it's cheaper than we buy it in the supermarket......"
"By the way, I went to the supermarket two days ago, and I remember that it seemed to be another special steak, a big 10-pound bag only cost $1.99, and I don't know why it was so cheap......"
When it comes to the super cheap raw meat products in the supermarket, the interest of the workers suddenly comes, and you and I start to discuss one sentence after another.
"Hey, what are you doing so much," Finally, someone interrupted everyone's conversation: "Anyway, we just need to know that the company doesn't need to subsidize a lot of money to this restaurant, and this restaurant can be opened, that's fine, and the rest, what do we care about so much?"
"Yes, yes, yes," as soon as these words came out, they immediately won the approval of the other workers around them: "As long as we know that this independent restaurant can be opened, it will be a good thing, and the others will care so much about him!"

The workers questioned whether the restaurant could be sustained, and Mr. Fernández answered it on the spot, and it was clear that the workers were very satisfied with Mr. Fernández's answer......"
Of course, Fox News, which has always had a good relationship with Chen Geng, is indispensable: "...... According to Mr. Tom, the person in charge of the restaurant, they have hired 20 cleaning staff to provide a clean and tidy dining environment for the workers......
