Chapter 43 Cost Tactics
Due to a massive power outage, the entire urban area was clearly divided into two parts. Qin Feng pushed the car back home from the black-lit eighteenth middle school, which felt a little cross-passed.
Because of the good business brought by the fire, Qin Feng went home nearly an hour earlier today.
"Come back so early today?" Qin Jianguo asked with some surprise, "Sold out so quickly?"
"Well, there's a fire over there, and a lot of people are running to see the excitement. Qin Feng explained lightly, and then looked at the thick bandage that had been taken off by Qin Jianguo and was still on the coffee table, and couldn't help but remind, "Dad, if you plan to ask for leave tomorrow, this bandage can be wrapped." ”
"I know what to do. Qin Jianguo was still not used to being pointed at by his son, and said in a deep voice.
Seeing that Qin Jianguo was impatient, Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders, turned around and entered his room.
took a change of clothes, silently went to take a bath, and when he came out of the bath, the light in Qin Jianguo's room was already dimmed.
Qin Feng glanced at Qin Jianguo's room and saw that he had already slept, so he lightly started his own business.
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and it's the weekend, in Qin Feng's opinion, this is simply God's appreciation.
Qin Feng found a long-overdue calendar, the back of the calendar was pure white, just enough to be used as a poster.
Tearing it off, Qin Feng took out a long-lost watercolor brush and started to advertise it for tomorrow.
For a roadside stall like Qin Feng, there is no need for creativity in advertising, as long as the meaning can be expressed clearly.
So Qin Feng's advertisement is quite concise and clear, first draw an old-fashioned pattern of one arrow piercing two hearts, and then write the words "2.14 Valentine's Day, 7% off for couples' shopping" below.
It took 10 minutes casually, and the poster was freshly baked.
Qin Feng looked at the old-fashioned work he had made with his own hands, and nodded with satisfaction. He had a hunch, so he rushed to this poster, his business tomorrow, and maybe even catch up with tonight.
After finishing the poster, Qin Feng took out the notebook of bookkeeping again.
New year and new plan, judging from the market's reaction, Qin Feng believes that it is necessary to adjust the number of purchases now.
Previously, Qin Feng's daily pre-sales volume was like this: 400 skewers in the morning, a total of 500 skewers in the afternoon and evening, beef dumplings, taro cakes and rice cakes accounted for a slightly larger proportion of the total, and the number of remaining ingredients was all equal.
And Qin Feng's new idea now is to increase the total sales volume to 1,000 skewers a day, and increase the proportion of beef dumplings and taro cakes a little more.
An hour later, Qin Feng came up with two new purchase orders, corresponding to two stalls per day.
The first stall: a total of 300 strings. 60 skewers of beef dumplings, 40 skewers of taro cakes, 20 skewers of shiitake mushrooms, dried tofu, chicken hearts, chicken mushrooms, and rice cakes, 15 skewers of green vegetables, cauliflower, ham sausages, lotus roots, and chicken wing tips, 10 skewers of small ribs and bananas, and 5 skewers of large chops. In addition, 10 additional dumpling wrappers (100 sheets) were prepared for primary school students. The total price is 317.5 yuan.
The second stall: a total of 700 strings. 200 skewers of beef dumplings, 120 skewers of taro cakes, 60 skewers of rice cakes, 30 skewers of large ribs, 30 skewers of shiitake mushrooms, dried tofu, green vegetables, cauliflower, ham sausage, lotus root, and small ribs, 20 skewers of chicken hearts, chicken mushrooms, chicken wing tips, and bananas. In addition, 20 dumpling wrappers (200 sheets) were prepared for primary school students. Total selling price: 830 yuan.
Expected total selling price: 1147.5 yuan, with an average selling price of 1.14 yuan per string.
The total daily purchase quantity: 14 kg of beef, the purchase price fluctuates up and down 280 yuan, pork and pork chops 20 kg, the purchase price fluctuates up and down 250 yuan, 8 kg of taro, the purchase price fluctuates up and down 20 yuan, one package of frozen chicken heart, chicken fungus and chicken wing tips, the total purchase price of three kinds is 40 yuan, the total purchase price of five kinds of mushrooms, dried tofu, green vegetables, cauliflower and lotus root fluctuates up and down 40 yuan, and the purchase price of bananas fluctuates up and down 30 yuan. 8 packs of rice cakes, the purchase price is 16 yuan. 6 pounds of flour, 1 pound of eggs, the total purchase price of 15 yuan fluctuated.
The total purchase price of ingredients required per day: 700 yuan.
In addition: the daily fuel cost is 30 yuan, the seasoning cost is 20 yuan, the fuel cost is 25 yuan, and the bamboo skewer and plastic bag cost is 20 yuan.
The final total cost: 800 yuan per day, and the average cost of each string is 0.8 yuan.
Qin Feng made the above content into a table, and the type, quantity, purchase price, total cost and expected selling price of each ingredient were all clearly marked.
However, such a perfect report made Qin Feng's eyelids jump.
There is such a thing as accounts, it's really not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.
The business of supper these days is so good, Qin Feng originally thought that he had made great strides towards the goal of earning more than 10,000 yuan a month, but he never expected that just because of the change in the type of ingredients, after he tried his best to get it for a long time, not only did he not raise the profit, but he actually made a lot less than before.
And what hurts him the most is that this happens under the premise that he spends an extra 8 hours a day setting up a night stall!
"I only earn 3 cents and 4 for every bunch sold, who am I working hard for...... Qin Feng stared at the form with straight eyes, and after being stunned for a long time, he gritted his teeth and became angry.
"The cost is too high, the cost must be reduced!" Qin Feng closed the notebook, stood up and walked back and forth in the room twice, then slowly stopped.
He thought of a way, but it was a less kind way.
The only way to save costs right now is in four words: cut corners.
Qin Feng sat back at the table, frowning and hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't resist the temptation of profit and did what all profiteers in the world would do.
He picked up the pen and changed the purchase amount of beef from 14 catties to 10 catties.
Qin Feng decided to put only 3 pieces of beef in the beef dumplings from tomorrow instead of the previous 4. In this way, he reduced his cost by at least 80 yuan a day, and he could earn an extra 2,400 yuan a month.
But Qin Feng didn't stop there.
Since he has already started to do things that are sorry for the majority of customers, Qin Feng simply did not do anything, and took a small chop to open the knife, and reduced the amount of pork by 5 catties in one go.
Speaking of small chops, Qin Feng is completely made in accordance with the style on the skewer aunt's stall, with 4 pieces per skewer, and the size of each piece is 2 centimeters square. The skewer aunt did this, obviously restricted by her loose knife skills. Therefore, Qin Feng's plan is to use his own technical advantages to cut the chops into a little smaller, cut them into 1 cm square as big as diced beef, and then put 5 pieces on each skewer, and the price will be reduced to 1 piece of 5, so that the taste of the chops will be better, and at the same time, the guests will not feel slaughtered by Qin Feng.
As for Qin Feng, he saved at least 40% of the amount of pork without knowing it, and the cost was more ferocious than beef dumplings.
After this calculation, the average profit for each skewer sold suddenly rose to 4 cents and 5.
Qin Feng held the pen and drew circles back and forth on the conclusion of 4 Mao 5, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Small business, sure enough, cost is king......
