In this era of scarcity, ordinary people are basically very frugal in their lives. They save when they can, don't spend when they can, and take what is from the public when they can...
Therefore, Chu Heng had no intention of letting the guest house take a high-end route, because there was no market for it at all.
His positioning of the guest house from the beginning was to be cost-effective and to make small profits but quick turnover.
Paying a cheaper price than other places, you can enjoy better quality products, which makes customers feel that it is worth the money and affordable, and this feature attracts more customers.
Commonly known as industry involution.
…
The busy day passed quickly, and it was eight o'clock at night in a blink of an eye. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the bright white moonlight enveloped the ancient Sijiu City, making it peaceful and peaceful.
In the guest house, the bathhouse has been closed, the staff on duty are cleaning the pool, the restaurant has sent away the last table of guests, and several waiters are busy cleaning.
Finance room on the fourth floor.
Chu Heng and Qiu Rong were sitting on chairs chatting and laughing. At the desk next to them, the accountant was quickly fiddling with the abacus beads.
Not long passed.
The accountant stopped and the room suddenly became quiet. Chu Heng and Qiu Rong turned their heads and looked over at the same time.
"Okay, after deducting all expenses, today's net profit is 432 yuan and 86 cents!" the accountant adjusted his glasses and said with a smile.
"good!"
Chu Heng smiled with satisfaction.
"The preparations we have made have not been in vain!" Qiu Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's go back early and have a good rest. I'll probably be even busier tomorrow."
Chu Heng patted his butt and got up and left the finance room. After a busy day, he was very tired. When he got home, he fell asleep and let Xiao Ni eat at the buffet.
In the next few days, the hotel had a good start. With the blessing of publicity and the support of customers who had experienced it, the business became more and more prosperous, and the turnover also increased steadily.
As for the hotel, because Chu Heng had already said hello to the hotel introduction office and was attracted by the posters, there were basically no rooms available. As long as there were vacancies, someone would check in within two hours at most.
Not to mention the bathhouse, the business is quite booming.
For ordinary people who have to spend even a penny, its price, which is three cents cheaper than other bathhouses, is a big deal, attracting many customers who like to be budget-conscious.
And while attracting low-end customers, many mid-to-high-end customers who have a little bit of money or are not short of money are also attracted.
After taking a shower here, you can get a pedicure, watch a movie, and fall asleep when you feel sleepy. If you are hungry, you can order food downstairs and have it delivered to you. It is really a good place for leisure and enjoyment.
But compared with these two, the restaurant's business seems a little worse.
Going out to restaurants these days costs a lot of money, so most people usually choose familiar restaurants when going out to eat because the taste is guaranteed.
Therefore, if a restaurant wants to have a prosperous business, it needs time to accumulate, and it is impossible to achieve success overnight.
Fortunately, chef Ma Hua's skills are not bad, and the prices of the dishes are affordable. The number of guests in the restaurant is increasing little by little every day, and there are still many repeat customers.
It is worth mentioning that the plain lion heads given out to the guesthouse three days before its opening have already become famous.
This stuff doesn't taste bad, and it only costs a dime each. It's not expensive and is very popular among people.
After eating, many people will come over from time to time to buy one and take it home to satisfy their children's cravings, or to eat it with wine.
Even now, this plain lion head is gradually becoming the signature of guest houses.
So in general, the guest house built by Chu Heng has established a firm foothold in Sijiu City, and it has reached its peak since its debut.
This not only relieved the account owners who were holding the IOUs from the Sixth District Grain Management Bureau.
And for the prosperity of the guest house.
Some people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also expressed their admiration again.
The God of Wealth is the God of Wealth, and he is indeed a good hand at making money!
At the same time, it also made them look forward to the winery project that was being brewed, and they didn't know how much foreign exchange this man could earn.
…………
While Chu Heng was busy with things at the guest house, the first Harry Potter book he had picked up at random was about to be released after a series of expedited sales.
Because most editors at Blue Oak have always been optimistic about it, Chrissy, who has always been stingy, directly placed a heavy bet on this book this time, with an initial printing of 50,000 copies.
You know, most new writers start out with a thousand or a few thousand to test the waters. Even some well-known writers don't get this treatment, so it's enough to see how optimistic Chrissie is about this book.
"Our Blue Oak's chance to turn around lies in this book!"
These are Chrissy's original words.
Ever since he placed a heavy bet on the Harry Potter book, this book has been given a different meaning. It has become a signature and an advertisement. If it can sell well or even become popular, it will definitely become a success.
It will attract the attention of many new writers.
Because they saw from the Harry Potter book Blue Oak’s support and emphasis on new writers, and also saw Blue Oak’s courage.
This morning, the morning light was faint and the breeze was not dry.
Old White, who had once enjoyed a wave of bonuses from Avima's Diary in Blue Oak, drove a newly-replaced second-hand Ford pickup truck to his loyal White Bookstore.
Compared with last year, this old bookstore has not changed much. The front door is dilapidated, the locks are rusty, and it exudes an atmosphere of antiquity and decay.
"bump!"
After getting off the pickup truck, Old White, who had just brought a lot of new books from the bookseller, held the hamburger he bought on the road and ate it leisurely.
He looked at the old bookstore in front of him that had been with him for many years, and was instantly lost in memories. Then he couldn't help but sigh for a while, and then his eyes fell on the first Harry Potter picture posted on the window.
Ministry poster.
A little boy wearing round lenses is flying in the sky on a broomstick. The background is a magnificent castle. The overall tone is gray, giving people a mysterious and depressing feeling.
"Wow!"
He took out the newspaper that he had stuffed into his butt pocket and unfolded it. There was a report about the first Harry Potter book, and the content was full of praise.
“With so much publicity, I don’t know how this book will be.”
Old White muttered, stuffed the hamburger in his mouth in a few bites, then put away the newspaper and took out the key, stepped forward to open the door of the shop, and began to move books from the bed of the pickup truck into the house.
After moving all the books in, he began to organize the bookshelf, first putting away some unused books, and then placing new books.
After working for more than an hour and arranging the bookshelf, Old White made a cup of coffee as usual, and then returned to the bookshelf with the coffee. He glanced at the first stack of Harry Potter books in the most conspicuous position, and curiously
Driven by my heart, I took out a book and returned to the counter to read it.
"Hey! This book is pretty good."
After reading it for a while, Old White, who has rich reading experience, was attracted by the content, settings, and writing techniques of the book. He even had a vague hunch that this book might become a bestseller this year!
