Chapter 192: Opening a Shop
In the next half a month, Ai Le and Tang Meng made a lot of money, the average daily net profit was about fifteen thousand, with money Ai Le began to be uneasy with the status quo, there are many office buildings around, if you can sell lunch boxes to those white-collar workers, the daily profit will only be more in the future, but it is not so easy to open up the market.
White-collar workers working in office buildings can't be very rich, but it's not bad for ten or twenty yuan, just like this, he doesn't admit that he disdains to eat, no way, even if the colleagues around him want to take out at noon, it is also the kind of well-made takeaway, the minimum one is not less than eighty, others eat such a ghost, eat three or four by yourself, isn't this looking for a joke?
Even if there is a maverick who is not afraid of others saying cool words, but he will not come to buy the box lunch sold by Ai Le, the first is that he sells it at the job fair, not outside at all, and secondly, even if he is outside, this kind of person is basically very good at living, nine times out of ten, all of them do it the first night and get it to the company the next morning, and it is hot at noon, and others can't say anything, who dares to say that these people can say that they are clean and clean and can push back those who say cool words.
If you want to expand your sales, you have to rent a storefront, which is necessary and certain, but the job fair is surrounded by a place with an annuity of every inch of land, and the more than 100,000 yuan in the hands of Ai Le and Tang Meng can rent a storefront the size of a toilet is good, don't even think about it in a larger one.
Ai Le has no revenge but no money, so he can only slowly accumulate funds, which is no way.
Tang Meng didn't think as long-term as Ai Le thought, so he thought about running his own small business, and when Ai Le enlightened the two of them that day, they took the certificate and An An lived his own life.
In the past half a month, Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei finally found jobs, and the salary was not very high. More than 2,000 a month. However, the company gave five insurances and one housing fund. This is more suitable than doing it in Ai Le, but Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei don't want to leave, it's really good to be white-collar workers in the company, but they must be newcomers, and there must be such and such unpleasant things when they first enter the workplace, it is far better to follow Ai Le and Tang Menggan to do accounting, although this business seems to be down and has no future, but it is easy.
Just get up early every day and give Ai Le a hand. There is basically nothing to do in the afternoon, they can take advantage of the afternoon and evening to be tutors, with their academic qualifications to do tutoring is no problem at all, if this is the case, doing Ai Le to sell lunch boxes is more than going to the company, and the time is freer.
But Tang Meng was not happy for them to stay, she was old-fashioned, and always felt that selling boxed lunches was not what college students should do, Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei should be in the office, instead of walking around the street all day long like herself.
Ai Le and Tang Meng have quarreled several times about this, and Ai Le wants to keep them. Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei are more knowledgeable and far-sighted than Tang Meng, and with their help, Tang Meng's career can develop little by little. Instead of buying a boxed lunch for a lifetime, the big cake that Aile painted for Tang Meng scared her, and she always said that Aile was blind and restless.
However, Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei are very supportive of Ai Le, and the boxed lunch can be sold for a year or two, but it can't be sold for a lifetime, right? You have to ask for it to get the business going.
This afternoon, Ai Le sat in the courtyard in a daze at the teacup, Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei came in at this time, sat next to Ai Le, Chen Yuan took the cup in front of Ai Le and drank it, and only after quenching his thirst did he say: "Brother Ai, what's wrong with you?" How did you wilt your head and droop your head, and it was cooked? ”
Ai Le rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "Don't mess with me here and there." ”
Xia Feifei and Ai Le got acquainted with each other and talked a lot more than before, and joked with a smile: "What's the trouble? Annoyed that Sister Tang won't let you go to bed? ”
Chen Yuan immediately laughed when she heard this, she didn't look like a woman, and she wouldn't be shy.
Ai Le glared at Xia Feifei and said, "What nonsense? I'm friends with your Sister Tang, don't keep coaxing your little kid. ”
Xia Feifei pouted and said, "Less coming, still friends?" Fools can see that you two are in love, so don't hide your ears and steal the bell. ”
Ai Le lazily continued to talk to Xia Feifei, and he also said that he couldn't usually split a fart from ten thunders, and once he got acquainted with that mouth, he could tell the dead to be alive.
Xia Feifei hurriedly stood up and grabbed Ai Le and said, "Don't go, why is a big man so stingy, I have something to tell you about Chen Yuan." ”
Ai Le looked at Xia Feifei and said, "What can you two do seriously?" ”
Xia Feifei winked at Chen Yuan, and then the two of them opened their bags at the same time and each took out a stack of money and put it on the table, Chen Yuan clapped his hands and said: "Brother Ai has 200,000 here, and I Fei Fei will pay 100,000 yuan alone, let's open the store together, I want to be the proprietress and I don't want to go to those companies to be grandchildren." ”
Ai Le looked at the money on the table and exclaimed, "Why do you have so much money?" ”
Xia Feifei said with a smile: "I want it from my family, although my two families are not rich people, they will definitely save us some dowry, 100,000 yuan can still be taken out, Brother Ai, you quickly agree, you don't know how hard it is for me to ask Chen Yuan for this money, and my mouth is worn out before I fool out." ”
Ai Le stretched out his hand and pinched his chin and thought for a while: "I still have to discuss this matter with Tang Meng, hurry up and deposit the money in the bank, be careful of thieves." ”
Chen Yuan was in a hurry, and stood up and said: "Tell Sister Tang that we can't do it, I think let's have a prelude first, Brother Ai, haven't you talked to a boss?" How much did you say at the time? Yes, right 200,000, right? ”
Ai Le was also moved when she heard this, it was indeed as Chen Yuan said, if Tang Meng knew about this, don't think about it, she can find 10,000 excuses to say that this transaction is risky, thinking of this, Ai Le gritted his teeth and said: "I'll go in and get the card, let's go to the boss while she's not at home, if it's okay, sign the contract today, and then let's find a chef." ”
As soon as Chen Yuan heard this, he immediately put away the money, Ai Le took the card and pulled him out and ran away, and the three of them took a taxi and passed.
Ai Le has been thinking about making the business bigger, and now he has nothing to do with it, so he will come to the shops around the office building to see if there is a suitable place.
Not to mention that there is a suitable place, there is a cake shop that is not well run and wants to transfer, but the price is a little high, and the rent for a year is 200,000. And that's not counting the utility bills. Ai Le and Tang Meng only have more than 100,000 in their hands. I really can't afford to rent.
Now that Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei have scraped together enough money, Ai Le is also angry.
In fact, the price of 200,000 yuan here is really not expensive, after all, it is a commercial area, and there are more people, it stands to reason that it should be easy for her to get rid of this store, but the bad is in the area of the store. This store has two floors of more than 200 square meters.
200 square meters is not small, but what to do with the score, you can open a cake shop, but if you open a restaurant here, the obvious area is not enough, this is a commercial area, you can't open that kind of small restaurant, right? It's really strange that those white-collar workers can come to eat, it's too cheap.
The area of the restaurant bar at the high point of the opening grade is small again, and this place can't sell clothes or anything, because the surrounding storefronts are either cafes or restaurants, and you can't lose money selling clothes here. Since ancient times, you have to get together to make money.
The proprietress really took a nap, and Ai Le, who sent the pillow, arrived. But he didn't come up and said that he rented here, but first looked up and down, this place is suitable for him to sell high-end box lunches, first of all, the decoration is very high-grade, there is no need to move at all, just change the signboard.
Second, he sells boxed lunches instead of buying big meals, boxed lunches are also boxed lunches in high-end, the store does not need too much, there are a few tables on the line, his main source of business is to send the boxed lunches to the surrounding office buildings, the storefront is used to support face, so that those white-collar workers know that they are not buying roadside stalls, but in a beautifully decorated restaurant with a high grade.
The proprietress looked at Ai Le Dong and looked at the west, but she was a little anxious not to say that she wanted to rent, and she would lose one more day of money in this store, which was a white flower, and she would have to feel distressed for anyone, so the boss couldn't hold his breath and said with a smile: "This gentleman, are you satisfied with this store?" Look at this decoration, look at this lot, you can look for such a store all over the sea, there are really not many, if you can't settle down, maybe you will rent it out tomorrow. ”
Ai Le didn't look at it anymore, found a chair and sat down and said with a smile: "Sister, it's not the first time I've come to see the store, to tell you the truth, I came to see it half a month ago, but it was your husband who received me at that time, and his asking price was too high, and it cost 200,000 yuan a year for water and electricity, which is too expensive." ”
As soon as the proprietress heard this, she immediately scolded his family for being cut a thousand times, and she told him many times not to insist on 200,000 yuan, properly loosen, hurry up, and give 1780,000 yuan, but as a result, he bit 200,000 to death and did not let go, and it was more than half a month, how much did he lose? This artificial hydropower is really brain-dead.
"Sir, you don't think this will work for 190,000, let's sign the contract immediately." The proprietress is now eager to get this hot potato out.
Ai Le frowned and thought for a while: "190,000 is too expensive, so I will pay a price of 150,000, if you rent it, we will sign the contract immediately, and I will give you cash immediately with the money, if not, we will go to another place to see." ”
Ai Le is able to save a point is a point after spending more money, you have to hire waiters and chefs, you have to buy some guys for the kitchen of the hotel, he and Tang Meng used to buy a lot of things here can't be used, that's all money, in addition, if you want to open up the market, you have to invest in the box lunch, just delicious is not good, but also nutritious, the most important thing is packaging, otherwise the meals inside can't keep up with the grade of delicious packaging, so that there are more places to use money.
"One hundred and fifty thousand? It's too little, no, no. "The proprietress didn't expect the kid in front of her to bargain so hard, and it was 50,000 yuan for one cut.
Ai Le exhaled and smiled: "Then forget it, I'm sorry for you, eldest sister, we'll go to another place to see." ”
Chen Yuan was very satisfied with this store, and when he heard that Ai Le had left, he stabbed him in the back again and again, signaling that it was almost enough, such a store was really hard to find.
But Ai Le didn't know how to stand up and walked out, Xia Feifei and Chen Yuan hurriedly chased after him and tried to persuade him to buy this store, but before he could wait for the door, the proprietress shouted: "Wait, 160,000 can't be lower, no matter how low I really can't rent." "The proprietress also knows that her store is not good in terms of location, but it is really difficult to rent, and the area is not big or small, which is really embarrassing.
As soon as Ai Le heard this, he immediately turned around and said, "Okay, 160,000 is 160,000, let's make a contract." ”
The contract proprietress had already been prepared, and she signed it with Ai Le on the spot, and the remaining raw materials for making bread and pastries in the store were also sold to Ai Le cheaply, and the proprietress took the money and left, but Ai Le still had to deal with a problem, and there was still a pastry chef and waiter.
The waiters are all little girls in their twenties, very delicate, and now their boss has changed the little girls are very worried, they want to stay and continue to do it, being a waiter here is much better than going to other places, the first contact with people are cultural people, and it is easy not to make it difficult for them, and the second work here is terrifying, not so tired, but they can go or stay They say it doesn't count, it is decided that they go or stay in front of them who are not a few years older than them, and the young man who looks very handsome.
Ai Le also lacked manpower, asked a few questions and felt that the two little girls were not bad, and directly left them behind, but also told them in advance that they were going to sell boxed lunches in the future, and the workload would definitely be greater than before.
But the cook was a little troublesome, he was making pastries, and after the restaurant opened, he was running a box lunch, and there was a conflict.
The cupboard's name is Sun Changli, and one of the two little girls is in love, and when he heard that his girlfriend stayed, he naturally didn't want to leave, but he also knew that Ai Le was going to sell boxed lunches in the future, and he was okay to make pastries, but boxed lunches wouldn't.
Sun Changli was anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Boss, although I can't make a box lunch, I will make pastries, so you wait, I'll make you a taste!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Ai Le to agree, and turned around and ran to the back kitchen.
Ai Le didn't stop him, he was thinking about pastries and lunch boxes.
Not long after, Sun Changli brought out a small plate, on the top was a triangular purple cake, and it was also decorated with cherries, which looked very appetizing at a glance.
Sun Changli put the plate in front of Ai Le and said with a smile: "Boss, this is the fruit cake I pondered myself, it is very delicious, it is not only sweet to eat, but also low in calories, those little girls who like to lose weight like this kind of food, but unfortunately our business is not good, and few people buy it." ”
Ai Le's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly tasted it, not to mention that Sun Changli really didn't brag, this cake was slippery but not greasy, and it was very sweet, it was full of fruits, and the cream couldn't be seen at all, I really don't know how he figured it out, those female white-collar workers who are always shouting about losing weight must like this kind of cake.
