Chapter 6 . Be the boss
"Brother Huang is good!" This Xiao Lei looks very young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, so immature that she doesn't look like a businessman who comes out to beg for a living, but like a middle school student, "Although this place is good, the rent is too expensive." I can now earn more than 2,000 a month at most, and if I use 1,008 to rent a house, the rest will not be enough to live. ”
"You can earn more than 2,000 by pushing a cart, and how can you make two or three times as much if you open a store." Liu De flickered and said, "How hard it is to push the cart in the sun and rain, if there is a storefront, wouldn't it be much more comfortable?" Besides, the place is so big, you can move in and live there, and you don't have to rent another house, which saves you a fortune. ”
"I really don't have any money." Xiao Lei said with a sad face, "There are only so many people eating breakfast here in the market, and I have to change places." The business of the newly opened store will definitely be a little worse, and one thousand eight really can't afford it. ”
"One thousand eight can't do it? Then one thousand and a half is good. Liu De said, "Who is called Huang Wenbin is my brother." I'll call the shots for him, and I'll take care of the losses. ”
"Fifteen is too high." Xiao Lei said.
"And how much more can you come up with?" Liu De asked.
"I've calculated," Xiao Lei said with her fingers crossed, "I have to buy a lot of things to rent a storefront, and I also have to leave a working capital, I can save a sum of money without renting a house, and I can pay a thousand yuan at most." ”
"A thousand?" Liu De didn't give up yet, "A thousand yuan is too little, you see that this place is so big, and the location is good." Where can I rent a thousand dollars? One thousand and a half is also considered cheap. Anyway, for the sake of you and me, the price is one thousand two! ”
Xiao Lei still shook her head, and Liu De had no choice but to say, "One thousand one!" ”
"Brother Liu, it's really not good." Xiao Lei said, "I have carefully calculated, and the maximum at the beginning is 1,000." If the business is good in the future, I will have no problem raising the rent, but in the first few months, I can only pay a thousand at most. ”
If you don't take a thousand words, Liu De suddenly lost his enthusiasm, and said to Xiao Lei: "Then you talk to my cousin, I still have to leave in advance." If you agree, remember to invite me to dinner. ”
After speaking, Liu De ran away, leaving Xiao Lei and Huang Wenbin. Xiao Lei opened her mouth a few times, and finally held back a sentence, "Actually, this thousand yuan is also a bit high...... Or if I don't rent such a big place, you give me a room plus yard and kitchen, and I'll give you 500 yuan in rent. ”
Huang Wenbin has long been confident, he has seen this bun Xi Shi in his previous life, after Liu De's tattoo parlor was closed, it was this bun Xi Shi who took over to make the bun shop. If it weren't for the transfer fee of several thousand yuan from Baozi Xi Shi, Liu De would really have lost all his money.
Huang Wenbin has never eaten the steamed buns made by Baozi Shih, but he knows that the business of Baozi Shih Tzu is good, and the shop is always overcrowded. After opening a bun shop for a few years, I bought a car and a house - although it was an electric car and a small property right house, it was not profitable after all. Even if the location of the shop is a little offset, the impact will not be too great.
"You don't have much money right now, do you?" Huang Wenbin asked.
"There's no money." Xiao Lei said, "I only went out to work last year. ”
"I heard you ran away from marriage?" Huang Wenbin is not very sure about this, he also heard Liu De casually mention it in his previous life, who knows if Liu De is talking nonsense casually.
"Huh? How do you know the way? Xiao Lei was taken aback, she had never told anyone about this. Her family is a farmer in the mountains, Xiao Lei is only 17 years old this year, and the family set a family affair for her early on, changing her brother's marriage. Xiao Lei couldn't get angry, packed a few clothes and ran out.
"I'm not interested in your privacy." Huang Wenbin shook his hand and said, "I admire you very much for being able to break free from feudal shackles, pursue your own happiness, and create your own career." But you're alone, you don't have any savings, and you can't go home, so if you fail to open a store, then you're nothing? ”
"When I came out, I only had a set of clothes plus 20 yuan, and I slowly started to do it, and if the investment failed, it was a big deal to have another 20 yuan for a pair of clothes." Xiao Lei was very lacking in confidence when she said this, and if she was lucky, she might not be able to do it again or for the second or third time.
"Actually, I also have the idea to invest in a business now." Huang Wenbin said, "It's better for us to partner." I'll go out of the house, and you'll have a 50% stake. That way you don't have to take that much risk. "Whether the store can make money or not is secondary, the main thing is to turn this new house into a shop. For the owner's own shop, the compensation amount will be higher.
"So?" Xiao Lei looked at Huang Wenbin timidly, "Then do we want to live together?" ”
"Live together?" Huang Wenbin hurriedly shook his head, he didn't want to live in the bun shop, how big the smell was, "I'm just here at noon, it won't affect your rest." ”
"That's good." However, Xiao Lei is still not at ease, "I live in my own room, I have to install the lock and key by myself." ”
"Of course." Huang Wenbin had no intention of taking advantage of her at all.
"That's great." Xiao Lei relieved her heart at this time, "Brother Huang, you give me a door key, I will go back and move things immediately, move over as soon as possible and open as soon as possible." It's so hard to sell buns in a trolley, it's rainy, and the chengguan often comes to find trouble. ”
No matter how fast it is to open a store, it will take a week or two, right? The next day, Huang Wenbin knew that he was underestimating Xiao Lei. In one night, she had already cleaned up the house, set up counters on the side of the street, filled the yard with tables and chairs, and hung a signboard 'Delicious Bun Shop', opened the door and started business.
From afar, I saw more than a dozen layers of steamers stacked on top of each other, and dozens of people stood next to them, surrounding Xiao Lei impenetrably, all waving change money, and some said: "One pork bun and two barbecued pork buns." Some called: "Two bean paste packets, two sugar packets." Some called: "Two sauerkraut buns, two barbecued pork buns." Some called: "Three fresh wraps of radish vermicelli buns!" ”
The sound was mixed, and Huang Wenbin felt that his ears hurt when he listened to it. Xiao Lei was not messy at all, while taking away the change from the customer, she took out the bun from the steamer and put it in a plastic bag and handed it to the customer. Huang Wenbin watched it for a long time, and none of them were mistaken. The flow of people came and went quickly, and after the working hours, the flow of people immediately disappeared. At this time, the large steamers of more than a dozen floors were all consumed, and only a few remained.
"Xiaolei, business is very good." Huang Wenbin leaned over and said.
"Brother Huang, when did you come?" Xiao Lei was very excited, "I didn't expect business to be so good, there is a bus stop here, and many people go to work from here." They were afraid of missing the car, so they came to buy steamed buns to eat. I made more than 500 pieces this morning. If the business is so good every day, you can earn 6,000 yuan a month, and 3,000 yuan per person! ”
"Three thousand." Huang Wenbin was also a little excited, what could be better than sitting and collecting money.
"By the way, it cost more than 1,000 yuan to buy these tables, chairs, pots and bowls, and lala miscellaneous things, and the account books and original documents are all here, which are deducted from the profits, or are we one of us contributing half of the shares?" Xiao Lei asked.
"Take it off the profits." Of course, Huang Wenbin didn't want to take out the money, "It just so happens that I didn't eat breakfast either, let's see how the buns you made." As he spoke, he took out a steamed bun from the big steamer, and when he bit the hot bun lightly, the juice inside flowed out.
"Yes, it's delicious." Huang Wenbin said that this is not a polite remark, he really thinks it is delicious. The dough is fluffy and non-foamy, and the gravy is delicious. If you want to go down again, it's full of minced meat, and I haven't eaten such a full bun for a long time.
When eating, he was very satisfied, and after eating, Huang Wenbin suddenly realized a very important question, "How much is your bun?" ”
"Five cents." Xiao Lei said, "If it's expensive, no one wants it, and if it's cheap, it's a loss." ”
"With so much meat, Wumao will also lose money, right?" Huang Wenbin asked.
"No, it's cheap." Xiao Lei said.
"Cheap meat?" Huang Wenbin almost spit out the bun he just ate, old female pork? Or is it clenbuterol? Is it a cardboard box bun? Or rat meat? News pictures of various food safety issues flashed in front of me, did I become the owner of a black-hearted food workshop?
"yes, cheap meat." Xiao Lei said, "There are many butcher shops in a market, and fresh meat cannot be left overnight, because it is easy to spoil overnight." Every afternoon, when the stall was about to close, I would go and put away the leftover minced meat. ”
"That's still fresh meat." Huang Wenbin was relieved, although it was not good meat, it was not poisonous.
"It's not fresh, it's not fresh, I collect it in the afternoon, mix it in the refrigerator in the evening, and make it the next day." Xiao Lei said, "The raw materials of vegetarian buns can be put in yesterday's harvest, and today's meat buns are not enough to sell, so you can collect a little more today." There are few people who eat vegetarian buns in cold weather, but you can make a little less. Brother Huang, what do you think? ”
"Uh...... You can do it yourself. "Huang Wenbin doesn't know anything about selling steamed buns at all.
"The ledger is here, Brother Huang, you can check it." Xiao Lei gave Huang Wenbin a primary school student's homework book and yawned, "I'll go to sleep for a while, I'll be busy until one o'clock at night before going to bed, and I'll get up at four o'clock to make steamed buns, I'm really tired." ”
"There you go." Huang Wenbin was excited. Look at the ledger! He finally had the right to look at the ledger. He has done financial work many times, and small private enterprises are used by one person for ten. He was in the administration and was often sent to the finance department to help. But that's all about books, and I've never seen them. Two days after I came back from rebirth, I actually looked at the account books, which is the treatment that only the boss has! Although it was a primary school student's homework book, Huang Wenbin was still very moved.
I opened the ledger and looked at it, and it recorded various expenditures in very neat handwriting. The format is very non-standardized, and it is not a modern accounting method at all. Not to mention that the rights and interests of the owners of assets and liabilities have not been clarified, and they have not even done double-entry bookkeeping, so they can only barely calculate a running account.
