Chapter 125: Be prepared for danger in times of peace
Qin Feng's worries about the cost were quickly dispelled in the following days because of the sales that repeatedly broke new highs.
On the third Saturday in June, Wang Yanmei and Huiqin made skewers at home almost all day, until the stock was exhausted, and they came to the stall again at 1 p.m. to help.
During the more than 9 hours of setting up the stall that day, Qin Feng's stall sold a record of nearly 4,000 skewers, and the piles of bamboo skewers filled the entire three garbage bins nearby.
Wang Hao and Hui Qin were both tired and almost collapsed, and Qin Feng and Qin Jianguo were not much better, even if the father and son took turns making skewers, at the end of the night, their hands became a little disobedient, and when they swept the floor, they didn't even have the strength to hold the broom.
However, tired and tired, Qin Feng was still very excited mentally.
Based on the average profit of about 4 cents per skewer sold, he earned a full 1,600 yuan tonight, which was an impossible task in the past. And imagine if you could sell so many things now, and then wait until July, or even during this year's Athens Olympics, to see what the store will look like - it's hard to imagine......
Qin Feng thought about it, and suddenly smirked twice.
Wang Yanmei went home again, and brought it to the supper prepared in advance-
When she was making skewers, she brought a steamed quick-frozen bun of meat.
A few hungry people devoured these things in three or two bites.
After filling their stomachs, Wang Hao and Hui Qin left first, and Qin Feng and Qin Jianguo moved the remaining tables, chairs and benches back to the house.
The store has been renovated by this time.
Shi Kron received electricity from the only telephone pole in the alley, and although it was only a few small temporary incandescent lamps, he could still clearly see the whole house when it was lit.
The handmade bar counter, which was just completed yesterday, smells of wood lacquer and is a little pungent.
The wall behind the bar is still empty, Qin Feng took advantage of the time to send a text message to Shi Krang today to ask about the situation in the store, Shi Klang replied that tomorrow will be the last handmade furniture, that is, the multi-functional cabinet behind the bar, and when the decoration is over, the smell of paint in the store will basically not be dispersed, and before July 5th, it can definitely be opened.
Qin Feng walked into the bar, pushed open a small door inside, and lit the fluorescent lamp inside, this 30-square-meter cottage with three major functions of kitchen, warehouse and staff toilet has been paved with tiles on the ground.
Qin Feng was afraid that the cement under the tiles hadn't dried yet, so he didn't go in to check it again, and after glancing at it, he turned off the light and walked out of the work area on the far right side of the house.
The left side of the house has now been completely opened, and the walls have been completely dismantled, leaving only 4 load-bearing columns.
Between the left and right sides, separated by a staircase leading to the second floor, the lower floor is designed as a small space for storing miscellaneous items, which is very practical. Qin Feng stood in the hall with an area of 80 square meters, and his physical fatigue was involuntarily reduced a lot.
In fact, he wanted to open such a store in his previous life, but he never had the courage to quit his job and start a business.
Qin Feng was actually deeply influenced by Qin Jianguo, and he resolutely refused to do anything that was not guaranteed.
If it weren't for the rebirth of this life, Qin Feng thought to himself that in his lifetime, he would at most be the vice president or general manager of that shopping mall, saying that he was an executive, but in the final analysis, he was just a part-time worker - unless the boss showed mercy one day and gave him some dry shares. But such a good thing, you know that it is not possible to think about it with your ass.
Qin Feng thought silently, and walked to the far right corner of the restaurant with very light steps.
It is a small cubicle divided into two parts, and the outer part is a semi-open bathroom, which is about the size of a square meter, and can only accommodate one person to stand.
The two small doors at the entrance are common in movie American westerns, and the small wooden sliding doors of the bar are smaller. Push open the door, there is directly a washbasin, there is no mirror on the wall, it is clean, just a place to wash your hands.
On the inner side of the sink, there is another door, and this door is pushed open, and it is the bathroom for guests.
The door to the bathroom is a semi-automatic door that opens inward, and it is closed regardless of whether there is anyone or not.
This design minimizes the need to disturb the appetite of the guests, who look in the direction of the restroom and see the sink first, while at the same time, they know if there is anyone in the restroom.
This design is the only one that Qin Feng mentioned in the process of decoration.
Schron did exactly that.
After taking a turn in the empty house, looking forward to the scene where the decoration was completed and overcrowded for a long time, Qin Feng finally came out satisfied.
"It will be done in a week at most. Qin Jianguo came out of the house and said in the same yearning tone.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "They only have 8 days left, but I told them that for every more than one day, 20 yuan will be deducted from their daily salary." ”
"Isn't it?" Wang Yanmei, who was following alongside, couldn't help but wonder when she heard Qin Feng say this, "Your uncle told me that if you exceed one day, a total of 20 yuan will be deducted." ”
"How can there be such a cheap thing!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "They ask me for 200 yuan a day for labor costs, and after 20 days, everyone's salary is 4,000 yuan, and if only 20 yuan is deducted, what is the difference between not deducting it?"
"Yes. Wang Yanmei nodded.
Qin Feng reminded her again: "Mom, it's okay if my uncle misunderstood, but don't tell him first, I really want them to delay for a few more days, so that I can save a lot of money." ”
Wang Yanmei smiled: "You kid, even your uncle is calculating?"
Qin Feng sighed slightly: "Only by doing business, can we do big by opening up sources and reducing expenditure......"
This is true.
Wang Yanmei was quiet for a while, and then asked Qin Fengdao: "When will the money for this decoration be recovered?"
"This can't be calculated, if the business is as good as tonight, it is estimated that it will pay back in two or three months. Qin Feng replied, "But like tonight, after all, there are still a few, our average sales volume these days is about 3,000 strings per day, deducting all the costs, so we can earn about 30,006 a month." ”
Qin Jianguo's heart burst into a sudden burst when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Enough." ”
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Dad, it's okay to be content, but you can't be content in business, once you are content, it's easy to go out of business." ”
Qin Jianguo was silent.
Qin Feng continued: "The business of kebabs, there are also off-season and peak seasons, don't look at my business has been so good in the past six months, that is, I am trying to find a way to find a new growth point every month, and now the method is almost used, and the profits of each season will be regularized in the future." In the summer of these two or three months, it must be the most profitable, thirty or forty thousand a month is normal, and there is the May Day holiday, the National Day holiday, before and after the Spring Festival, it adds up to a month, the real peak season, and it is only these four months.
In normal times, except for weekends, business is not as good as it is now, and the net income in a month can be half of what it is now, that is, between 15,000 and 20,000, which is considered good. In this way, we will earn more than 300,000 yuan at most all year round. ”
Qin Jianguo's eyes widened: "Can you earn so much in a year?"
"It's not much, it's only enough money to buy a 30-square-meter house now. Qin Feng said with a smile, "Dad, you said that we worked tirelessly for a whole year, and the money we earned was only enough to buy half a house, is this a lot?
Qin Jianguo was silent again.
"Also, what I just told you is still the most optimistic estimate, if you are pessimistic, the annual profit may only be 200,000, which is a little more than the salary of senior workers. Qin Feng continued, "This is not counting the accidents in the middle, if an employee is burned, the gas tank explodes, and the guest has food poisoning, these are all potential costs! Oh, by the way, there is also tax, we have opened a store, we have to pay taxes, the uncle said that the certificate has been done, tomorrow Sunday, I have to go to his house to get the business license back......"
Qin Feng chattered all the way, hearing that Qin Jianguo and Wang Yanmei were happy for a while and worried for a while, and their mood was like riding a roller coaster.
Back home, Wang Yanmei and Qin Jianguo asked Qin Feng to take a bath first.
After Qin Feng finished washing, he returned to the room and lay down, and before he waited for 2 minutes, he let out a faint snoring sound.
Qin Jianguo and Wang Yanmei stood at the door of the room and watched, and after standing for a few minutes, Wang Yanmei closed the door.
"Alas, this kid is only a few years old, and he has to think about so many things every day, it's too hard. Wang Yanmei said with some distress.
"Yes...... Qin Jianguo said in a deep voice, "But it's fine in the second half of the year, Xiaofeng goes back to school, the two of us can watch the store by ourselves, it's really too busy, then call someone to help, it's okay to make less money, the key is to live comfortably." When Xiaofeng finishes college, it's not too late to return the store to him. ”
Wang Yanmei smiled tiredly and said softly: "I'm afraid that he will have a bigger vision by then, and he won't be able to look down on such a small shop." (To be continued.) )
