Early the next morning.

Snow King Ice City in Yonkacho, Tokyo, is not yet open.

In the small office of the drink shop, Fujino was sitting on the sofa, looking at the foursome of the Snow King Ice City family sitting around him.

"Yesterday's turnover was 120,000 yen."

Akemi held a bill and muttered, "The net income after excluding utility bills is 90,000 yen." ”

Fujino closed his eyes and muttered: "The profit is almost maintained at about 1.5......"

The profit of 1.5 is about the price that has been maintained since the beginning of Snow King Ice City.

Sell a cup for a cup and a half.

This profit may not seem too high, but compared to those other retail industries, such as convenience stores, this kind of profit is already very good.

"In the last week, my daily income has fluctuated around 90,000 yen."

Xiao Ai, who was sitting next to him, was wearing a white round-necked short-sleeved shirt, bit the button of the marker, and frowned and wrote on a report: "About a month ago, the growth rate of Snow King Bingcheng's single-day revenue began to slow down......"

"Well, that's right."

Akemi nodded, "That's why I asked everyone to come over and think about what went wrong." ”

"It's normal for growth to slow down."

Fujino reached out and touched the troubled Lori's head, "It should be that the nearby market traffic is saturated." ”

"Saturation...... It looks like it should be. ”

Gray Yuan Wai pondered for a moment, put down the marker, skillfully and patiently tidied up his messy brown short hair, and asked Akemi flatly: "Sister Akemi, have you rarely seen familiar faces recently?" ”

"Well, that's right."

Akemi recalled, "If you think about it, I really haven't seen a few new customers lately. ”

"That's the problem."

Fujino crossed his legs, and put his hands behind the back of his head: "The market of our Snow King Ice City is actually not large, and the target customer group is not wide, basically the children and young couples in the vicinity, although the tea market for the middle-aged and elderly has recently been developed, but after all, there is only one market for beverages, although we are in the commercial area, but those flows are too unstable, and only holidays can be harvested." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Now if we want to continue to develop, the only way to do this is to increase publicity to attract people from farther afield to come and harvest, or to develop some new categories of products to harvest new customer groups...... But neither of these is realistic. ”

"That's true."

Gray Yuan Wai next to him took over the conversation: "If it's just for a drink, it's impossible for someone to come from farther away, and if it's a new product, there are already a lot of industries in this vicinity." ”

After a pause, she continued: "Our Snow King Ice City is still focusing on the light catering direction of leisure and entertainment, and if we want to develop more products, we can only carry out this type of dine-in meal......"

"In that case, it will definitely become a café-type shop."

Akemi sighed when she heard this: "And Miss Enomoto's Poirot Cafe opposite is this type of shop, if it develops again, it will overlap and become a competitor......"

Minaha Shimogasa: "......"

Nami Shimogasa: "......"

The two sisters who were standing on the side, wearing T-shirts and jeans in the same goose yellow color, listened for a while and became a little transparent.

They were stunned, their eyes full of ignorance.

I found that the topics discussed were too high-end, and I couldn't understand them at all.

So he brought the hot tea from the back kitchen synchronously.

Hoonami prepares the plate teacup, and Minaho pours tea.

The two quickly brought a few cups of hot tea to the coffee table in front of several people.

"I'm sorry for you."

"No trouble, Mr. Fujino."

Sister Shimogasa smiled politely, "After all, that's all we can do. ”

"Don't underestimate yourself, you are actually very important, but you don't realize it......"

Fujino chuckled and comforted, then took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "Cafe Poirot has been open for many years, and from the perspective of customers, we can't beat it at all, so we can't do it whether it's publicity or opening up a new track. ”

Then he continued: "The current situation is almost already a general, and according to Feng Shui, it is the way forward to step into the door of death. ”

"Actually, it's good to maintain the status quo."

Akemi suddenly mentioned, "Now the net profit is 90,000 yen a day on average, and the monthly income is about 2 million yen, which is already very good." ”

"Sister Mingmei, you still haven't seen the essence of the capital market clearly......"

Fujino shook his head slightly, "The capitalist market is always squeezing other people's space for survival, what we focus on now is emerging and relatively low prices, sooner or later someone will catch up with us, and then we will be eliminated." ”

"Well, if that's the case, we're going to have lower revenues."

Akemi nodded slightly in agreement, understood Fujino's words, and sighed: "If that's the case, although our family doesn't have any additional expenses, if we can't make money, we will definitely not be able to sustain it......"

"This is the inevitable result of the market economy, once there is a profitable store, there will definitely be other people who want to share the cake, but we are not without other ways now."

Fujino put Jiro's leg down and looked at Akemi: "Sister Mei, how much money do we have in the account we are operating now?" ”

"The fund to maintain the operation of the store is 2 million yen."

Although Akemi didn't know why Fujino was asking now, she still said truthfully: "Now we have 10 million yen in our account, and we can call about 8 million yen." ”

"Eight million yen, I didn't expect to have so much money in a short time after opening......

Fujino muttered, and then proposed, "Sister Akemi, what do you think about opening another branch?" ”

Akemi was puzzled for a moment: "Open a branch?" ”

"That's right, in fact, I have been planning this for a long time, and the final result of the catering industry is to open up a share and open up new markets."

Fujino looked at Akemi seriously: "And the market of this new store is to be handed over to Akemi to develop it, and it is up to you to decide." ”

"Let me open a branch or something......

Akemi hesitated for a moment, worried: "If Fujino Kai is definitely fine, but my money will definitely be wasted." ”

"Sister Mingmei, you can even run this Snow King Ice City well, and there will be no problem in opening another one."

Fujino naturally saw that Akemi was a little unconfident, first encouraged, and then continued: "I think that the future Snow King Ice City will become the existence of a commercial beverage empire that is full of neon and sells overseas, and Sister Akemi, you are the store manager of Snow King Ice City, the helmsman of Snow King Ice City in the future, the female president of a listed company, and the first branch of Snow King Ice City will of course be opened by you." ”
