Chapter 5: Brainstorming
The next morning, I got up at 6 o'clock, and Zhu Cheng went to the market to buy meat and sell vegetables, with the sales data of the first day, it was much more convenient to buy vegetables today, just purchase according to yesterday's sales volume, and now Fang Yi wants to buy a freezer first, so as to better preserve meat. However, now that the funds are limited, I can't afford to sell them, so it would be nice to have a credit card or Jingdong Baitiao in the future.
Everything is still only about making money, and the rest of the things are overcome as much as possible, when I returned home with Zhu Cheng, it was already past 8 o'clock, and a few small helpers were already waiting in the yard to start work, and at the end of yesterday, Fang Yi paid 5 cents per person, and all the children were happy, this was the first time they had earned money by their own labor.
When the stall was out yesterday, Fang Yi had already arranged the work of each child, bamboo sticks, crucian carp, loach, shrimp, snails, and Tianbei were all ready, Fang Yi took out the candy he bought yesterday and gave two to each child.
After arranging today's work for the children, Fang Yi went to the field to find his mother, told his mother about his stall yesterday, and also told her that she earned more than 300 yuan a day, hoping to get her help and support.
"Xiao Yi, is your business really so profitable?" asked her mother in disbelief.
"Of course, you see that these are all the money earned yesterday" Fang Yi took out yesterday's income to show his mother, looking at this stack of money, his mother finally believed Fang Yi's words.
"What are you going to do, how many people are you going to help?" asked her mother, Zhou Xiaoqin.
"I'm going to start looking for two people to help, and if I have more work, I will add more people later, you tell grandma, and I'll have to cook two more people's meals in the future," Fang Yi said.
"This is no problem, as long as your business can make money" It seems that Fang Yi's tuition fees still stumped Zhou Xiaoqin during this time, and the tuition fees of the first year wiped out the family's savings for nearly 10 years, and the tuition fees for the second year still don't know where to go.
"It's really profitable, you can help me find two sisters to help, I'll give them a salary of 100 yuan a month," Fang Yi said.
"100 yuan, isn't it a little more, your mother and I are only 130 yuan a month, which makes the whole village envious" Zhou Xiaoqin felt that the salary was too high.
"It's okay, I know what to do"
After finalizing the personnel matter, Fang Yi put down the big stone in his heart and went home, and Zhou Xiaoqin also put down the farm work in his hand to find a suitable helper for Fang Yi.
After lunch, Fang Yi's two cousins arrived, and after that, these two sisters, who were only two years older than Fang Yi, helped in Fang Yi's barbecue restaurant.
Because of the help of people, the progress of the whole work has been greatly improved, Fang Yi also changed the practice of bringing all the dishes to the stall at one time, there are many people on the barbecue stall, the air is not good, and at night, many vegetables have changed color, which is not conducive to Fang Yi's pursuit of product quality, and the two sisters have set an agreement to send the products kept fresh at home with well water to the barbecue stall and then get off work, at half past three in the afternoon, Fang Yi and Zhu Cheng went out of the stall.
Fang Yi's barbecue taste is unique, the products are fresh, as soon as the work starts, the whole stall has not been empty, Zhu Cheng skewers, Fang Yi is responsible for serving and collecting money, the whole barbecue stall is busy and orderly, the evening summed up, the turnover exceeded 500 yuan, reached 513 yuan, and the net profit reached 348 yuan.
For a week, Fang Yi's barbecue stall had a daily turnover of more than 500 yuan, and Fang Yi's funds reached 2,300 yuan, spending 760 yuan to buy a freezer and 80 yuan to buy a two-wheeled trolley.
The business of the barbecue stall was on the right track, Fang Yi found two eldest sisters to help, and every day from 8 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock in the evening, the salary was 100 yuan per month; the two sisters in the original family went to work at 3 o'clock in the afternoon every day, and went out of the stall with Fang Yi and Zhu Cheng, and got off work at 12 o'clock in the evening, and the monthly salary rose to 120 yuan. In this way, Fang Yi only needs to go grocery shopping with Zhu Cheng every morning, and the rest of the wages are completed by Zhu Cheng with them.
Fang Yi slowly freed himself from the barbecue stall, and now he walks around the wholesale market and aquatic market every day, thinking about how the food stalls in later generations did and innovated. Because seeing Fang Yi's business is good, there are already followers in the food stalls, although Fang Yi is the first to operate like this, there are a lot of old customers, but following the trend will still divert some customers in the past, in the second month of opening, although there is still more than 500 yuan of operating income per day, but it is already more than 1 o'clock in the morning to be able to sell the prepared products, which makes Fang Yi feel the crisis, if this continues, there will definitely be at least 5 barbecues in the entire food stall, and at that time, his family's business is estimated to only maintain a turnover of 300 yuan per day。
As a person who was reborn from the afterlife, he had more than 10 years of vision to attract followers, and Fang Yi decided to let them only be followers forever, and they would never be able to keep up with him.
After the end of the first month, Fang Yi and Zhu Cheng opened the first shareholders' meeting of the barbecue restaurant together, Fang Yi made a detailed report to Zhu Cheng on the income and expenditure of the month, with a turnover of 16,720 yuan for the whole month, excluding material costs, booth rent, and labor wages, without calculating the wages of the two of them, the net profit for the whole month was 9,865 yuan.
"Brother Yi, is this true, the two of us have earned almost 10,000 yuan a month, I can't be dreaming, come and beat me, let me feel it" Zhu Cheng heard that he had earned almost 10,000 yuan a month, and he was no longer calm.
Fang Yi kicked him hard in the ass, "Do you feel it? It's only a few dollars, so you are happy like this?"
"Brother Yi, this is almost 10,000 yuan, the two of us have become 10,000 yuan, this is not happy, then how much money do you want to make to be happy, my father's stall is estimated to have earned more than 3,000 yuan this month, how can it be compared with ours, when he talked to my mother yesterday, that bullishness, that unstoppable look" said Zhu Cheng began to learn the kind of high-spirited performance when his father talked to his mother.
"Xiaocheng, we have a few main points to say about this meeting today, one is to tell you how much money we have made this month, and the second one you have also seen that in recent days, our big-name stall has added several barbecue stalls, they will definitely steal a lot of our guests, and we may not make so much next month."
"MD, these grandsons will come to learn from us as soon as they see that our business is good, be careful that I go and smash their stall" As soon as he heard that next month's income would be much less, Zhu Chengcheng felt like he had been cut off a piece of meat.
"Okay, okay, there will always be competition, so let's not be afraid of competition, the third thing I want to tell you today is about competition, the nearly 10,000 yuan we earned, let's divide 500 yuan per person first, as our pocket money, and reinvest the rest of the money, we want to let the followers never catch up with us," Fang Yi said.
"Yes, let them eat ash even behind their butts, and let them not even eat ashes. Brother Yi, you are too domineering to send 500 yuan as pocket money, even in our county, no buddy dares to say that his pocket money is 500 yuan" Zhu Cheng was surprised.
Fang Yi glanced at Zhu Cheng, this is the limitation of vision, if the monthly cost of 500 yuan is placed in the future generations, it can only be to eat soil, but now Zhu Cheng can talk about the whole county and our pocket money is the most, yes, more and less depends on when to compare, if you put it in CD City for comparison, it will be turned into scum in minutes.
Unifying his thoughts, Fang Yi began to transform the barbecue restaurant, and his direction was to build it into a model for later generations, such as Neolithic barbecue and Korean barbecue, but now neither external nor internal conditions are available, and it can only be used as a general direction. Fang Yi now does the first action is to rent a fixed store, Fang Yi believes that although the food stall can quickly accumulate the flow of people, but no matter how to manage in food hygiene, it will never be able to enter the hall of elegance, now what can be done is to clean up the store first, and then make an eye-catching store sign, unify the staff uniform, the funds in hand are still too limited, there is no way to complete his idea.
On August 15, 1999, Fang Yi and Zhu Cheng's first barbecue "Century Barbecue" opened, and Zhu Cheng was adjusted to the new store to participate in the operation and management, but the barbecue stall of the food stall still continued to operate, because the new store opened, and he didn't know whether the business was good or bad, and Fang Yi didn't dare to kill the biggest cash cow now.
The new store is in a residential area in the county, in later generations, this place is the commercial center of the entire county, in 2016, the rent of a store reached 180,000 yuan, and now the price negotiated between Fang Yi and the landlord is only 500 yuan per month, if it is signed for 20 years at one time, just to be a second landlord, Fang Yi will earn several times.
Because there was no publicity and promotion, the first day of the new store only hung a comprehensive 20% off banner, and the turnover on the first day was only worthy of more than 800 yuan, but this turnover also made Zhu Cheng happy, because the turnover is twice as much as the current food stalls, so the two stores are calculated, the daily turnover can reach 1200 yuan, and the gross profit is 800 yuan. The gross profit per month is more than 20,000 yuan, and Zhu Cheng's eyes are full of banknotes at this time.
