Chapter 7: Great Gains
information".
Although the shopkeeper Chen is still called the shopkeeper, Ye Chen's position on him is the general manager of the restaurant, and he doesn't have to do everything himself, he can leave it to the people below to do.
Another person who is settling accounts is called Li Cai, an apprentice, in his early twenties, this is a position specially set up by Ye Chen, learning restaurant management, that is, the reserve cadre of the restaurant shopkeeper.
Li Cai stayed, I will teach you a new method of bookkeeping and accounting, and you can't use this method of efficiency in the future.
Shopkeeper Chen didn't dare to leave at first, Ye Chen rushed a few times before going back, and he was worried all the way back, not knowing what Ye Chen was doing.
Li Cai looked at Ye Chen with some restlessness.
Ye Chen didn't get angry again, he knew that it wasn't their fault, but in this era, arithmetic was still very backward.
Ye Chen left Li Cai behind to teach him Arabic numerals and four arithmetic plus simple accounting and bookkeeping methods.
After an hour, Li finally learned, Arabic numerals are very simple, and the four operations are not difficult, as long as you practice more, Ye Chen also copied the multiplication formula.
Accounting is not difficult, the key is that Ye Chen will not be difficult, he used to be the boss only to read statements and simple basic accounting, but these are temporarily enough for a restaurant.
After teaching Li Cai, Ye Chen asked him to recalculate the accounts and make a simple report.
It is estimated that when the calculation is calculated, it will have to be calculated until noon the next day, Ye Chen asked him to arrange his rest freely, and he just had to calculate it before getting off work the next night.
The next day, that is, the fourth day of the restaurant's official opening, Ye Chen only appeared in the restaurant at night.
The restaurant is still hot, but the restaurant private room is not so tight today, but there are still a lot of people who come to the restaurant to pack back.
These dignitaries and nobles have eaten delicious food, and if they go to eat the previous meals, they will feel that they are chewing wax and difficult to swallow, and with their net worth, they will not eat themselves poor when they eat stir-fried vegetables every day.
Although the consumption in the restaurant is high, it costs four or five thousand yuan on average, and tens of thousands of dollars are common. However, it usually costs two or three hundred yuan to fry two dishes by yourself, which is unaffordable for ordinary people, and there is no pressure on them.
When he got off work in the evening, Ye Chen left Shopkeeper Chen and Li Cai behind, and at this time Li Cai had already calculated the accounts.
"The young head of the family, so the accounts have been calculated." Li Cai was very respectful to Ye Chen, because what he taught him yesterday, Li Cai still felt shocked. Especially the multiplication formulas and Arabic numerals, which suddenly made him feel that Ye Chen was a great talent that was difficult to come out of the ages.
"Well, hard work". Ye Chen didn't think about it that much, he didn't know how much impact what he taught yesterday would have on this era in the future.
"Young master, on the first day of our restaurant, we received a total of 136 waves of guests, and the average non-wave guests spent 2,500 yuan, with a total of 360,000 yuan."
Ye Chen grinned when he heard this, he knew that the restaurant would definitely make money, but he didn't expect the turnover to be so high on this day.
And the shopkeeper Chen was even more stunned when he heard it, with a turnover of 360,000 yuan, which is still the part of the restaurant that does not count the delivery, which is already seven or eight times that of before.
Li Cai glanced at Shopkeeper Chen, and smiled lightly, thinking that he was just as shocked at the beginning.
"The young master, the shopkeeper Chen, in addition to the private room of the restaurant, there are also deliveries, a total of 66 copies were sent, and a total of 110,000 yuan was collected."
"In this way, the total turnover of the restaurant on the first day was 470,000." Li Cai reported the turnover of the first day in an excited tone.
Ye Chen nodded, he knew that it was because of the lack of material preparation and the lack of a stove that day, otherwise there would have been a lot more deliveries.
Ye Chen said to Li Cai: "Report the cost of the day and calculate the profit."
"Okay" Li Cai took out the following bamboo slip and began to say: "The biggest cost mainly comes from raw materials, a total of 94,650 yuan was used, and the labor cost plus the red envelope issued by the young master was converted to only 3,620 yuan a day, and other expenses were 1,233 yuan."
"In this way, the net profit after deducting the cost is 370497 a lot of money."
The net profit was 370,000 yuan, which made Ye Chen exhale, as long as the Ye family restaurant was run well, the current crisis could be solved, and there was a guarantee for future development, especially Ye Chen's heart has always been to develop the army.
The army is definitely a big money seller, and you don't even think about it without strong economic strength.
The huge profit is shocking, and the profit of 370,000 yuan is just a one-day profit of a restaurant.
Of course, it is not every day that you can make this profit, this is only the first day that everyone comes to try it, and it will gradually decrease in the future. But no matter how much it is reduced, it is expected that there will be an average profit of nearly 150,000 yuan per day.
Next, the profit of the second and third days was calculated, and in the next two days, because another Yejia restaurant opened, the profit of a single restaurant was only more than 200,000, and the two added up to a profit of nearly 500,000.
The Ye family made a profit of more than 1.3 million yuan in three days, which made Ye Chen feel greatly relieved that the success of the restaurant could already allow him to focus on other things.
Some other restaurants are distributed in other big cities, and there is only one Yejia restaurant in the same big city, so that the restaurant can be guaranteed to be profitable.
In a few days, there will be seven or eight Ye family restaurants opening in other places, which will not only allow the Ye family to obtain huge cash flow, but also improve the prestige and influence of the Ye family.
With this more than one million dollars of liquidity, the farmland that the Ye family has been dragging for a long time has to be cultivated.
In fact, spring plowing had already started before, but the Ye family didn't have the ability to come up with a large number of farm tools, so the efficiency was much slower.
If the current situation continues, many of the Ye family's tenants will not be able to complete the spring ploughing on time, this year's harvest will be affected, and many farmers will not have enough to eat, or even starve to death.
Not to mention the spring ploughing, the huge income of the restaurant made Old Man Ye completely recognize Ye Chen, and he had the intention to let Ye Chen start to take charge of the Ye family, and at the same time, Ye Chen also had this intention, because Ye Chen knew that great changes were coming, and if he did not speed up, he would be swallowed up in the future Yellow Turban Rebellion and warlord melee.
Compared with the Ye family's huge gains, the Chen family was not so lucky, not only did they not gain anything, but they suffered heavy losses.
The more than 100 stores newly opened by the Chen family, plus the previous dozens, nearly 200 stores, in order to suppress the Ye family, they are selling at a loss, and they have to invest more than one million dollars every day, which can be said to be more than a million dollars sold, the more they lose.
Chen Ming has been restless for three days, and he has not been at ease since the opening of the Ye Family Restaurant.
As long as the Ye family has a source of funds, it is impossible to defeat the Ye family or even annex the Ye family, unless other methods are used.
Chen Ming fidgeted and walked back and forth in the room.
Suddenly, Chen Ming stopped and shouted, "Someone."
The attendant outside the door was startled when he heard the noise in the room, and quickly took a deep breath and pushed the door in.
In the past few days, Chen Ming's attendant has been terrified, and if he is not careful, he will be beaten and punished. It can be seen how bad Chen Ming's mood is.
"Head of the house". The attendant bowed his head and shouted, then lowered his head and quietly waited for his master's orders.
"Go, as soon as the morning dawns, I will notify the prefectural order, saying that I have something urgent to look for him."
"It's the head of the house."
After instructing things, Chen Ming relaxed a little, at least he didn't walk around.
Looking at the Ye family again, Ye Chen reported the situation to Old Man Ye early the next morning after calculating the accounts.
When I told Old Man Ye and Steward Wu about the profits of the three days, Old Man Ye and Steward Wu also opened their mouths wide.
It is no wonder that the profit of this day is worth the profit of the previous half of the month.
It is normal for profits to skyrocket, first of all, Ye Chen has increased the price of vegetables several times, some even ten times, plus the business is several times better, so that one day is more than ten days before.
"Great, with this fund, we can spring plough hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland, and I hope we can have time to cultivate all of them."
Manager Wu was suddenly overjoyed, and he didn't wonder that he would be like this, the Ye family's funds have been tight recently, and he has moved left and right, and there is still a shortage of money everywhere.
"It has been delayed for more than ten days, and it is impossible to spring plough all on time, so how much can be ploughed before spring sowing."
Old Man Ye was still worried before, but now he doesn't need it at all, with this part of the funds in the restaurant, even if the land rent is lost, it doesn't matter, the tenants' lives are a big deal, support part of it, and lend them a part.
At the moment, under the brief exchange of the three of them about the current situation, Ye Chen is still in charge of the restaurant, at least most of the restaurants have to be opened to provide the Ye family with huge liquidity.
Manager Wu immediately went to arrange spring ploughing, and delaying it for one more day would be a huge loss.
When the Ye family was in a meeting, Chen Ming had already come to the county commander's mansion early.
The order of Xiangping County is called Han Dong, and he is a local scholar clan, which is considered a medium scholar clan in Liaodong.
Now Han Dong has not gone to the county office, so he met Chen Ming in the study of the Han Mansion.
Different from the simple introduction and arrangement of the Ye family's meeting, the two discussed secretly in the study for a long time, and left separately at almost noon.
Chen Ming returned to his house, and Han Dong went to the county office.
