During the agricultural harvest period in Baowan Town, which lasted for more than half a month, Du Qihui would secretly come to the Gujia Hotel every one or two days, find Zhou Ming, and then promise all kinds of benefits and invite him to join the Dujia Hotel, the highest price was the one, and even said that he could give him 25% of the shares of the Dujia Hotel, as long as he brought his superb cooking skills over.

After listening to these favorable conditions, Zhou Ming did not give a clear answer, saying that he is very busy now and has no time to think about joining the cooperation, and when he has time in the future, he will take the initiative to talk to Boss Du in detail, and ask Boss Du not to disturb his work...... After a while, someone rushed to Du Qihui's face, dragged, racked, or clamped, and drove him out of the Gujia Hotel.

After the harvest period ended, most of the pigeon herd left Baowan Town with the credits earned, and most of the agricultural traders from other places also negotiated contracts and left the town satisfied.

The popularity of the town has dropped significantly.

The business of the Gu Family Hotel has dropped to half of the busiest time.

Zhou Ming, who has a total of no more than 8 hours of rest every day, finally has a sleep of more than 6 hours at a time, as well as a break of more than 2 hours in the morning and afternoon.

Hard work equals rich rewards.

Heavy returns.

On the afternoon of July 18th, all the bosses and employees of Gujia Hotel held an inventory meeting, which will be from the harvest date on July 1 to the end of today's harvest period, in 18 days, how much is the total turnover of Gujia Hotel, and the net profit.

Total turnover: 889,300 credits

As for profits, because Gujia Restaurant is close to the agricultural production area, it can buy edible oil, grain, vegetables and some meat at a lower cost, so the gross profit is about 50%.

Of course, after deducting the water and electricity bills, the 12.8% business tax that needs to be paid to the town tax center, and the 1.5% garbage disposal fee charged by the sanitation management department, as well as other miscellaneous expenses, the actual net profit is only about 33% of the turnover.

In other words, in 18 days, Gujia Hotel achieved a net profit of about 290,000 credits.

On average, he earns more than 16,000 points a day.

These days, the number of people who come to Gujia Restaurant every day is about 2,000 people, and the average customer earns 8 credits.

Zhou Ming frowned when he heard these data, and it was difficult to be satisfied in his heart.

Less, it's too little, it feels like it's an insult to his cooking skills.

Is it because there are too few rich people in this town, or is it because most of the people in this world are poor?

No, no, according to Zhou Ming's observations, in this world (only in District 52), the vast majority of people are not poor, and they can be called middle-class.

In other words, as long as you have a stable job (no matter what kind of job it is), as long as you are not a pigeon family, your monthly income is at least above four or five thousand credits, and the productivity of this world is high, and prices are generally low, as long as you don't spend money indiscriminately, even an ordinary farm worker can save 3,40,000 credits a year.

During the more than a month of wandering in Yaoxing City, Zhou Ming roughly estimated that in this world (District 52), the poor account for about 5% of the total population, the middle class, accounting for 85%, and about 10%, are the rich class who can afford to buy commercial housing in the city, drive a hovercar for travel, have all kinds of intelligent electrical appliances at home, and their children can afford to go to aristocratic schools.

Baowan Town is an important agricultural town, with an annual agricultural output value of more than 10 billion credit points, and rich farmers, millions, and multimillionaires abound in the town, because they are all big landlords and owners of means of production, so they are all local tyrants, and they are not bad for money.

Since there are a lot of rich people in this world, why did Zhou Ming work tirelessly in the past 18 days to earn so little?

He believes that there are three main reasons.

One, the price of the dishes in the Gujia restaurant is too low, and the profit margin is too small for a dozen or twenty credits for a plate of dishes.

On the other hand, the consumption habits of people in the world are not particularly keen on food, there may be tens of thousands of credit points of a communication instrument, millions of suspension cars, and a variety of convenient and easy-to-use smart home appliances, people are willing to buy, diet, is more frugal, not too much pursuit of the enjoyment of the tongue, sometimes, can save the save.

The most important point is that people in this world have a long-term vision, no matter how much credit they have, they will not spend it indiscriminately, and will try their best to exchange it for the "money" they want most through various channels.

What is the approximate exchange rate?

On the surface, it seems to be 1:100,000, but Gu Naifeng once used a communication device to open a website called "Money Trading Network", and among the hundreds of thousands of constantly scrolling purchase information, the information that was bolded and topped was "Buy money, 1 million credits, how many buy!"

There are 800,000, 700,000, and 600,000 credit points below, and none of the first 1,000 acquisition information is less than 300,000.

In this world, the most exuberant need is always money.

Therefore, Zhou Ming wants to earn an infinite amount of money through the road of food empire, which is destined to be extremely difficult and full of endless challenges.

After all, it is so difficult for him to earn credit points now, and he is tired and tired to get back so much return and want to make money......

"We still have to step up the research and development of new dishes, and make more seasonings and sauces! Improve the taste of dishes to a few more levels, not only to defeat intelligent kitchen robots, but also to defeat people's consumption habits! Let them, put more credit and money, into enjoying food, it is best to become foodies, everyone in their heads except to eat, nothing else to ......."

Zhou Ming was not satisfied with the performance of the hotel during the harvest period, but the Gu family was very satisfied, with a smile on their faces and eyes smiling.

Gu Dawei sighed: "At this time last year, the turnover of our hotel was less than 800,000, and this year it is close to 900,000, and we still have no kitchen robots, still overpowering Dujia Restaurant, and achieved such results, which is really ......" He glanced at Zhou Ming next to him and found that he didn't seem to feel too excited with an indifferent expression.

Gu Naifeng said: "I want to buy the latest Starry Sky S19 communication instrument, the old S17 I have been using for eight years, or second-hand refurbished goods used by others, it has long been difficult to use, the video screen with classmates is blurry, always shaky, the volume is also small, and it can only be used for three days on a single charge...... And I'm about to go to college, and if I don't change to a new one, my classmates will definitely laugh at me. ”

"No way!"

Gu Naihui immediately suppressed his delusion: "An S19 costs 50,000 credits, you can't buy such an expensive one, I'll give you my S18, or buy a second-hand one, a few thousand credits are enough." ”

"Sister, do you want to be so picky? I've made so much money in the store lately, what's wrong with taking out a small part to buy me a communication device? I've also worked hard these days, don't you pay me a single credit point of salary? Besides, I didn't buy a communication device for fun, I also need to use it for study. ”

"No matter how much you do, how much does he do with Tieqiang? Just do some things like washing vegetables and serving dishes, and dare to ask for 50,000 credits, you are working alone in this restaurant?"

"Xiaohui is right, Xiaoqiang gets up early these days, he's busy all day long, and he doesn't hear him cry out that he's tired, what about you, sit down and say you're tired, the store finally made some money, Xiaoqiang didn't ask for anything, you want so much at once...... Son, if you want to be half as down-to-earth as Xiaoqiang, your mother and I will rest assured. ”

Gu Dawei also joined the queue of criticizing his son, Xiaoqiang's performance these days is in everyone's eyes, it is really like a machine, rarely stopping in the middle, Gu Dawei asked himself, when he was young, he didn't work like this, even when he was in the best body and working hardest, he didn't fight to this extent, this is completely exchanging his body for money.

His wife Zhang Peizhen, now looking at Xiaoqiang, is no longer the kind of eye that appreciates talents at the beginning, but regards him as a member of the Gu family, and she will do ideological work for her daughter whenever she is free, saying that such a man will not be able to meet one in a thousand, and tell her to grasp it and not let him fly!

Gu Naihui was very resistant to these ideological work at first, but after a long time, when she saw that man, when she was working in the kitchen, she was completely selfless, with a serious look, and the delicious food he cooked, constantly reaping the praise of the guests, and slowly conquering her stomach, she found that the man who almost killed her, she was no longer so annoying and resistant, and even after hearing her mother's best matchmaking, faintly, she also changed herself in her heart, so that he no longer neglected his thoughts and actions, and the tone of his speech to him was less bitter and mean, and more caring and gentle…… This often makes her wonder if this is still not the same person she used to be.

"Xiaofeng, give me your S17 to use, I don't have this kind of thing, call your sister to give 50,000 credits, the money is in her hands, she doesn't give it, just let her deduct it from my salary, my salary, 50,000 should be there, right?"

Zhou Ming suddenly said, the world's intelligent communication instrument, a bit like his world's smart phone + laptop combination, but more advanced, higher technology content, in the underground mining area of the 51 area, he only saw the mining manager Liu Wei has it in his hand, after entering the 52 area, it is basically one per person, of course he also wants to have one, and Gu Naifeng's S17, he has borrowed it many times, except for a little problem with video communication, other functions are fine, the appearance is relatively new, and it is completely impossible to see that this is an old machine that has been out of the factory for ten years.

agreed to buy a S19 for Gu Naifeng, Zhou Ming is just a favor, Xiaofeng is not bad, it can even be said that he is a little simple, he is also very smart, he is the future star of the Gu family, if he graduates from college in the future and enters a senior hospital or research institute, he can also bring him a lot of valuable information.

It's just 50,000 credits, he doesn't care about this little money now, when he makes the Gujia restaurant bigger and the food industry stronger, the starry sky S19 communication instrument, he also wants to buy one, as well as that kind of smart glasses, hovering cars, and all kinds of intelligent robots, he has to buy and own.

"Thank you, Brother Qiang, thank you, Brother Qiang is still good to me, long live Brother Qiang!"

Gu Naifeng hugged Zhou Ming's hand, as excited as a child who got a lollipop.

"Two loser men, I'm so angry!"

Gu Naihui glared at the two of them speechlessly, and then looked at Zhou Ming, feeling a little uncomfortable: You are so good to my brother, why don't you see you being good to me?
