Chapter 456: Son's Business
There was no intersection with Su Mu before, and after James Cameron got the answer he wanted, he told him that he would think about the plot and did not continue to disturb Su Mu's vacation.
French food is not very suitable for Sumu taste, and American food is the same, you can eat two large bowls of rice, but the steak is so big, I still feel hungry after eating, and I specially instructed the waiter to put on more fruit to pad my stomach.
Knowing the news that his boss has been replaced by Su Mu, he must be careful at this time, maybe he will be fired by the new boss because of a small mistake, which is really wronged.
Just treat yourself as a guest, and you still have to give the tip you should give.
Su Mu has always felt that the custom of tipping is quite rogue, since the price of some services is already so expensive, why should the staff expenses that should be borne by the restaurant be included in the customer's consumption?
The origin of the word tip can be decomposed from its four letters, in the 17th century England, there was often a bowl on the table with the words "To-Insure-Prompt-Service" written on the bowl, and some consumers often paid extra for the waiter to get better service.
Some of the European colonists who went to the United States brought this custom back to the United States, and after hundreds of years it evolved into today's tipping model, and Europe turned to the United States, but in the end, these service providers wanted to make more money, and the bosses wanted to save money.
This may not seem like anything, but if you think about it from another angle, isn't it right to go to them and get quality service? Why pay more to get better service?
Some restaurants in France directly cover the tip in the customer's bill, adding 10% to 15% more than the amount that should be paid, and will specifically mark that there is no need to pay another tip, which invisibly pushes up the cost of consumption, and the final profit is the service provider and the restaurant owner.
If a consumer doesn't tip, they will give contempt, or directly ask "is there something that the service is not good enough", the implication is to ask for a tip, if the consumer can't find fault, it will be considered stingy by others, no matter how you look at it, it looks like "kidnapping".
This unspoken rule has existed for a long time, don't think that Westerners don't love face, for residents of European and American countries, especially the rich people in the upper class, it is more uncomfortable to let them lose face than to kill them, and the custom of tipping will continue to be maintained.
Su Mu just wanted to complain a few words in his heart, he didn't care about the little money, and he didn't plan to smash so many people's jobs, it was purely thankless to do that, you must know that a waiter, nearly seventy percent of his income is earned through tips, if anyone feels that there are unreasonable charges, they can directly not go to them to consume.
The meal would be added to the room rate, a hundred dollars for the tip alone, and at night the surrounding scenery was overshadowed by night, and he proposed: "Drive around the city, it's still early to bedtime, and we can't go back to our rooms to watch those boring French TV series." ”
Before Lily could speak, their son Su Lin first said that he wanted to go, both father and son had this idea, she naturally would not be disappointed, nodded and agreed, and drove the brand-new bulletproof version of Mercedes-Benz G55, Su Mu drove it himself, followed by bodyguards in front and behind.
On the road.
Su Mu suddenly thought of something and asked, "How is your winery's business lately?" There is also a bar in the wine cellar, I can help you sell some of it through Maple Leaf.com, don't thank me." ”
A few years ago, Lily's grandfather died, and she inherited from him Château d'Obiang, one of the five largest wineries in France, which is now worth six or seven million dollars, and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, but unfortunately its production is too small, and it will be sold out quickly every year, especially in better quality years, and the price can be sold higher, and it is not Lafite Group, how can you still have inventory for me to sell." ”
When it comes to Lafite, which is also one of the five largest wineries in France, this company is like the Moët Hennessy-Louis Vuitton group, with high-end brands of high quality, but also producing low-end products.
Sometimes people will buy "Lafite wine" worth twenty or thirty dollars, don't doubt it, it is probably the wine of the Lafite Group, but it has nothing to do with the famous Lafite wine, which has lowered the brand image of Lafite wine to a certain extent, but it makes it more accessible to the people, and the profit is greater than that of the other four old wineries combined.
Su Mu drove a car, usually drove a supercar or a high-end sedan, and the feeling of driving the G55 made him clearly appreciate the wildness, it is easy for men to fall in love with this car, but unfortunately the price is slightly higher, not something that ordinary people can afford, the price of this bulletproof version is higher, please customize it by a modification company, and it cost him nearly two million dollars.
Just as he was about to speak, his son Su Lin spoke first and told Su Mu: "Dad, I also want to make money in my own business, I sell things in school, and I buy a drink for two dollars and eighty cents, which contains ten cans of Coca-Cola, and I sell it to my classmates for fifty cents, and the extra money is the money I earn, and I can sell about six pieces a day." ”
I have to say that the price is quite high, considering that my son is in a monopoly business, and the price is okay if the price is high, those students would rather spend more money than go far to buy cheap drinks.
Su Lin has a business mind, which makes Su Mu feel gratified, he doesn't ask his son how powerful he will be in the future, he just asks not to lose the wealth he has accumulated, and asked with interest: "What business are you going to do?"
"Convenience stores, they can sell a lot more than me, and they will definitely make more, and the parents of my classmates give them pocket money every day. Su Lin said seriously.
Okay, at such a young age, he already knows that he is worried about the pocket money in the hands of his classmates, Su Mu smiled: "Not only do you have to think about profits, you should also think about expenses, you need money to rent a house, and you also need money to hire someone to help, but if you are willing to be lucky, I can help you open a convenience store in your future school, whatever you sell, OK?"
Lily whispered, "Are you sure you can open a convenience store in the school?"
"What's so difficult about this, I'll donate whatever the principal wants, and I think I can talk to them. ”
Su Mu was extremely calm, maybe his son would not be able to rely on the convenience store to earn back the money he invested until he left school, but considering his son's future and cultivating Su Lin's business acumen, he was happy to spend this money.
This matter is finalized, Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicles soon came to the city with classical and beautiful architecture, there are many pedestrians at night, and the lights are on at the door of the store, which is nothing more than a walk and see, vacation, comfort is the most important......
