Chapter 55: End of the Period
The cold wind blows overhead from time to time, blowing a snowflake, and the surrounding area is silvery and white, and the silver-covered Dongmian Hutong is covered with a lot of modern atmosphere, and everything is so quiet and peaceful.
After Zhou Bai finished his morning work, he was too lazy to eat breakfast in the cafeteria, and there were a lot of breakfast to sell outside the school gate, and there were many small businessmen around the alley, and many breakfast shops would have been unable to open if they were only for Chinese opera students, and their target customers also included nearby residents.
Stepping on the snowy mountain, there is a slight sound of clicking, that is, it has become dirty by being stepped on too much, which does not meet the expectations of southerners for snow at all.
It's dawn, the breakfast shop in the alley is open, and the freshly baked buns exude an enticing aroma, and the real price is enough, and a bite is simply a supreme treat.
Say hello to the boss who has long been acquainted, and have a breakfast according to the old rules, Zhou Bai can't wait to eat, compared with the pig food made by the canteen master, Zhou Bai is so happy that he almost shed tears.
The first snow in the capital at the end of November, and now there have been several heavy snowfalls in January, Zhou Bai is also used to the climate of the capital, and the young people are full of fire, and this cold can still adapt to it.
It's late January '97, and Zhou Bai has passed the final exam, in fact, he can roll up the cover and go home, but the things in the store haven't been arranged yet, and he has to deal with it before leaving.
At the end of a semester, Zhou Bai felt as if he had grown up like a rebirth, from the beginning he only had an extremely superficial understanding of performance, to finally touching the outline of performance and going deep into the world of performance, three or four months, it seemed that he had experienced a world.
He still insists on doing morning exercises every day, whether it is wind, frost, rain or snow, anyway, if it is inconvenient outside, he can stay downstairs in the dormitory, from the simple breath grammar practice at the beginning, to now he can read smoothly and smoothly, lines, and how much torture he has endured is only known to Zhou Bai himself.
Even if he is a martial arts practitioner, but the lines and body practice still make him suffer a lot, the lines rely on honing, fortunately, Zhou Bai is determined and has never slackened.
Now in the lines of the 96 acting class, Zhou Bai is the absolute first, which is recognized by teachers and students, after all, no one is almost machine-like conscious and masochistic training like him.
Liu Ye was urged by him, and in a semester, the Northeast accent was gone, and the kid couldn't tell the difference between the Northeast accent and Mandarin at first, but now in addition to the standard lines, the Beijing film has also begun to take shape.
Liu Ye, the child, gradually has a heart, and has caught up with the classmates in the class, although there are occasional failures in self-written and self-directed sketches, but there is no problem with the performance, now he is the school's basketball prince, and many senior sisters can shine when they see him.
Zhang Ziyi is also very good, the 'little steel cannon' is gradually enlightening in performance, and at the end of the semester, there is no longer the psychology of fear of performance and fear of school, which can be regarded as getting better, and the two friends at the end of the crane are finally showing signs of strength now.
The operation of the 306 restaurant is good, the special teppanyaki of Beijing and crayfish supper, and even a chef in the back kitchen has added Sichuan cuisine to the store, of course, it is mainly hot pot, and it is also a little famous in the area of Gui Street, mainly because it is cheap and affordable, real materials, and it is very popular.
Zhou Bai took his classmates to go last night, mainly to eat casual meals, and listened to the store manager Liu Guoyang said that for more than a month, sales have been on the rise, and now the profit has been 30,000 yuan.
However, because he wanted to send the girls back to school, Zhou Bai had no way to tell Liu Guoyang in detail, and he was going to go over today, one is to explain the business holidays and other matters, and the other is to make good accounts.
Zhou Bai is also big-hearted, he went to the store twice in more than a month, and the second time he went to eat, basically all of them were managed by Liu Guoyang, so that the 306 restaurant could grow savagely, and there was no one who was so careless.
The share distribution of 306 restaurants is like this, the other two friends in the dormitory account for 25%, Huang Hongjun accounts for 15%, and Zhou Bai alone is 60%, of which Zhou Bai has discussed with everyone to take out 10% of the dividends to the store manager and other staff, and if the follow-up situation is good, you can add more.
Yesterday, I withdrew 8,000 yuan with the store manager Liu Guoyang and Wen Shan, the financial plus accountant and waiter in the store, and returned to the dormitory after dinner.
Of course, 1,500 yuan is not much, but this is basically their living expenses for three months, hearing Zhou Bai say that this is the first time to pay dividends, their eyes are simply shining, and their eyes are red and scary in an instant, and they can't wait to yell that Nima will have meat to eat in the future.
It's no wonder that these people are hard, mainly three or four hundred a month, more than five hundred living expenses, they spend money and have no plan, sometimes they have to rely on Zhou Bai to help if they want to eat meat, even the instant noodles that Zhou Bai bought back for supper They have wiped them out at a very fast speed, they are all young people, and they are hungry.
……
Finally able to relax, after a leisurely breakfast, Zhou Bai also brought one copy of the five goods in the dormitory, two plastic bags with buns, fritters, and soy milk.
"Brother, when are you going to go home?" Liu Ye couldn't wait to enjoy the breakfast brought back by Zhou Bai after a simple wash, and asked a little vaguely while eating.
"I'll go to the store to reconcile the accounts and explain the matter, maybe I'll go back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, all your tickets have been bought, right?" Zhou Bai was holding a copy of "Overview of Film Aesthetics" written by the Gallic chicken writer Ajar and was flipping through it.
"Lao Bai, why don't we go with you?" Qin Hao was quite embarrassed to say that he didn't have much to do with the business, and he got a dividend last night, which made him very embarrassed.
"No, it's just a check on the account, you won't feel embarrassed, right? I've said it before, anyway, just invite someone in the store, we don't need to take care of it, and I'm not the same myself, I went to see it once in more than a month, and the second time was last night's dinner, and there is nothing we need to worry about, everything is in charge of Liu Guoyang." Zhou Bai waved his hand and said, if he is responsible for everything, then he might as well not open this store, why bother with all this effort.
"I'm relieved if you say that, anyway, if there is something for us to do, you can just speak up. I didn't expect to pay dividends so soon, and at first I thought it would be nice to stay in business. Qin Hao said, with some sighs.
"Now the catering industry is the best time to develop, in fact, we are developing relatively slowly, the main problem is that the catering business is a business with word-of-mouth and repeat customers, and it is not yet on the fast track. ”
"Now the dividend I took out from last month's net profit, the cost has not been recovered, this year spent 30,000 to open a store, the annual income of 100,000 is not a myth, our store investment is a little large, in addition to labor, water and electricity, these have 30,000 profits I think is less. ”
Zhou Bai closed the book and said with a straight face, the concept of hundreds of thousands in 96 years is completely different from the hundreds of thousands in ten years and twenty years later, and the profits of the traditional catering industry are 100% normal in this era.
"Lao Bai, do you mean ......" Niu Qingfeng, who was eating steamed buns on the side, was a little frightened, he thought to himself that it would be good to be able to recover the cost in half a year.
"That's right, I mean if the development is good, it is possible to make a profit of eighty or ninety thousand a month, of course, this is the best prospect, no matter more, it is impossible, and the carrying capacity is a problem. Zhou Bai said lightly, now is the time for the catering industry to take off, and the area of Guijie has become an industrial group after a period of time.
Of course, all this still depends on the operation of the store manager, and Zhou Bai doesn't have so much heart to put it into the operation.
"Eight... Ninety thousand... , then we can't eat and drink spicy food?" Liu Ye said incredulously.
"......" several other people were frightened, how can you imagine what kind of profiteering this is.
"Yezi, there are some things I said first, I chose to open a store just to accumulate a little money, and improve my life by the way, I don't want you to be blinded by this interest and give up the requirements of your studies, if you put your mind here, I will directly withdraw your shares, and I won't hide it from you between brothers, business is complicated, don't be confused by this money. Zhou Bai said solemnly, the first time he spoke to Liu Ye in such a serious tone.
"Don't worry, brother, I know what I mean, if I want to get rich, just follow my brother, anyway, brother, you won't treat me badly. Liu Ye said with a smile, he just sighed, he was not fascinated by this money, he had a lot of contact with Zhou Bai for a semester in Chinese opera, and he was somewhat influenced by Zhou Bai, and his heart was much higher.
In other words, this product now has its own artistic pursuits, and making a fortune does not appear in his concept at all.
Qin Hao and several of them were also thoughtful, and through Zhou Bai's words to Liu Ye, they knew Zhou Bai's principles for the first time.
