Chapter 25 Price Increases, Tuition
The success of the new dishes gave Zhou Ming great confidence and motivation to build a food empire and earn countless money. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yes, people in this world can do without art, literature and entertainment, and they can abandon countless hobbies for money, but they can't stop eating.
And the people of this world are between "eating well" and "eating well", between "ordinary food" and "peerless deliciousness", between "cheap" and "expensive...... Most of them may make a rational and more cost-effective choice, and the cost of food is only thirty or fifty credits a day, and spending hundreds of credits on a meal is a waste, and it is a loser!
But when there are conditions, when it is not impossible to bear that kind of expense, in front of the great temptation of peerless deliciousness, why not waste it once and lose it once?
Just once.
Why did I come to this restaurant again, why did I order the same dish last time, and why didn't I regret this waste?
Loser twice, loser three...... Loser N times.
It turns out that people may regret buying an expensive piece of clothing, buying a bad movie ticket, getting a haircut, or buying a book...... But almost no one will regret eating a meal, even if the meal is very expensive and spent half a month's living expenses, they will not say after eating: You shouldn't eat this meal, you should save your money and avoid eating soil tomorrow.
Why?
Because eating is necessary for the human body, and everything else is non-essential, it doesn't matter if the spirit is empty, but when the body is empty, the stomach growls, and when it's time to eat, people will eat without delay.
Food, the necessary substance to maintain life, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, if you don't eat for a few days, you will die, there is nothing more important than food, no matter how selfish and stingy people are, they will not treat themselves badly in terms of eating, and people will not care about whether it is worth it after the food enters the stomach and intestines, after eating.
Therefore, Zhou Ming was busy again, even busier than the harvest period, in order to have a little more rest, he asked the Gu family to cut off the meager breakfast, and the price increase plan was also approved, and announced to the customers in the town in advance:
Due to the current large number of customers, the hotel will raise the price of dishes from September 1, with an increase of between 20% and 30%, and we apologize for the trouble caused to our customers......
This price increase announcement naturally caused an uproar, many low- and middle-income customers, have expressed that it is difficult to accept, feel seriously hurt, a few extreme customers even said: Gujia Hotel really dare to raise the price so much, I will not go to Gujia Hotel to eat in the future!
Many old customers also found Gu Dawei, first blamed, saying that he was inflated, no longer considering the feelings of old customers, business was a little booming, and they began to drive people away, forgetting about them, these old customers, okay, you Gu Dawei really want to be so ungrateful, after the price increase, they will never go to Gujia Hotel to consume again.
And the boss of Du Qihui of the Dujia Hotel opposite, after seeing this scene, the big teeth almost laughed, the Gujia Hotel dared to raise the price, and it rose so much at once, isn't this self-defeating? Okay, you rush customers, my Dujia Hotel will welcome guests, if you raise the price, my Dujia Hotel will reduce the price, and the price will be reduced by 5% across the board, and there will be no one left of your customers.
Sure enough, after the announcement of the price reduction of the Dujia Hotel to give back to the old customers was issued, the town praised it, or Boss Du will be a man, think about the customers everywhere, the conscience of the catering industry is much better than the Gujia Hotel in the eyes of money, decided, I will go to the Dujia Hotel to eat in the future, Gujia Hotel, hum, bye-bye!
The customers showed signs of restlessness, and Gu Dawei, who saw it in his eyes, was anxious and anxious, and his hair turned white, and he found Zhou Ming many times, hoping that he would cancel the price increase plan, otherwise he would lose more than half of the customer flow!
"It is inevitable to get rid of some people, Gujia Hotel does not have so many tables and chairs, entertaining those low-end customers, our goal is to be in the high-end, and high-end customers, is not willing to sit in the same hall with those low-end customers, so the expansion and renovation plan of the hotel must be included in the agenda, the hotel is all demolished, and then add two floors to the top, separating some independent private rooms, used to entertain high-end customers, and then recruit a few kitchen workers and waiters, but also to buy some smart kitchenware, improve work efficiency......"
Zhou Ming gushed about his plans, not caring at all about the low-end customers who would be lost.
"That's not the loss of a little people, at least more than half of them! Even the mid-to-high-end customers you mentioned will also lose a lot of them...... Xiaoqiang, don't do that, it's too risky!"
"Uncle Gu, there is a saying in my hometown, there is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, since the price increase announcement has been released, you also nodded, you can only continue to move forward, only to rise by 2, 30%, or the lives of those customers, don't be swayed by the intimidating words of these customers, they say very powerfully, but in the future the body will be honest, even if the worst happens, 80% of the people will be gone at once, and the remaining 20% Isn't it a good thing that we will be able to make less profit than before, and our work will be easier, and we can spare a lot of time to develop new dishes?"
After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Gu Dawei silently calculated in his heart, and found that this was really the case, because the turnover of the store now has about 150,000 credits every day, multiplied by 20%, that is, 30,000, the average daily turnover in previous years is almost this number, and it is slightly less, and the workload of the two is indeed very different.
After figuring this out, Gu Dawei is no longer so entangled, how this kid wants to toss, let him toss how he wants, there is really no way, and then lower the price.
In addition, it's almost September, and the most important thing for the Gu family now is not the rise in the price of food in the restaurant that causes customer shocks, but the future star of the Gu family, who was admitted to the entire 52 districts, ranked fifth, located in Hanhua Medical University, Hanhua City, Gu Naifeng, who is about to enter the school, how to solve the registration fee of 5 money + 500,000 credits.
500,000 credits Gu Jia is easy to come up with, but 5 money ...... It's impossible to take it out.
Because all the liquid money of the Gu family is now in the hands of an outsider.
Zhou Ming.
The Gu family didn't know where he hid the money, anyway, they couldn't find it after searching countless times, and now it was the moment when Gu Naifeng was about to enter school, and the anxious Gu family, no matter what, hoped that Zhou Ming would return the money, not to mention everything, at least they had to solve Gu Naifeng's tuition requirements - five money.
For the sake of Gu Naifeng's bright and far-reaching future, for a while, the eyes of the Gu family were all on Zhou Ming's body.
