Gao Ning thought about it for a long time, but couldn't remember where he had heard it, so he could only give up.
“Boss, we’re running out of paper cups!”
Aqin appeared behind him with a slightly anxious expression.
"So fast?"
Gao Ning was a little surprised. He glanced at the crowd in Wuyang Wuyang and said, "Let's go, follow me to get it!"
"Okay, but you have to hurry up. Ali can't handle it alone."
"The warehouse is right in front of the vegetable market."
Recruiting Aqin Ali and others is actually very simple. In this era, basically every supermarket has a message board.
Customers can freely post some recruitment or job information, and merchants will clean it up regularly as a small and cost-effective way to attract customers.
It is difficult to start a job in this era, and many people cannot find jobs.
Gao Ning posted the notice, and someone came to the door the same day.
After several selections, he finally found a few suitable ones among a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates.
Ah Qin is just an ordinary girl from Hong Kong. She grew up on Bollan Street. Her father opened a video rental store on Front Street.
In his memory, Gao Ning had seen her more than once, but he had never said hello.
Through contacts during training, Gao Ning found that she learned things quickly and had a good attitude, so she was directly positioned as the store manager.
With her, as long as the Yaya Milk Tea Shop is on track, Gao Ning doesn't need to worry.
As long as the goods are replenished on time and wages are paid, that's fine.
Bolan Street is a famous red light district with countless large and small nightclubs, karaoke bars, and bars. At first glance, it looks like you have fallen into an entertainment city, but in fact there are various shops in between.
What kind of audio shop, underwear shop, gold store, bank watch shop, pawn shop, medicine shop and barber shop, newsstand, herbal tea stall, ghost stall, fruit stall, popsicle seller, salty magazine seller, lace tabloid seller, fundraiser, etc.
There are people selling rat poison and Indian sacred oils.
It gets even more lively at night, with LSPs from all over Hong Kong gathering here. The streets are filled with luxury cars and all kinds of entertainment.
There are few stalls on the main road, but the food stalls in the back alleys are one after another. There are roast duck shops, fried chicken shops, hamburgers, pizzas, ice room tea restaurants, stir-fried porridge shops and croquettes. You can’t think of anything you can’t buy.
There are also various kinds of street girls standing on the roadside, which seem to be separated from the main road. There are luxury versions and high-end products, you can choose from them.
After a while, the two of them walked to the vegetable market.
It's not even noon yet and there's almost no one here, even the boss is dozing off.
The warehouse Gao Ning rented was more than 20 square meters, and it was filled with boxes of various colors, all of which had been ordered in advance.
There are cups, membership cards, dolls, and balloons. Just these things cost the commission for a mission.
Gao Ning moved two boxes of paper cups, thought for a while and took another box of little yellow duck dolls, put them on the trolley and pushed them out.
"A box costs five hundred. These should last for a while. I'll leave the key to you. If it's not enough for a while, you can come back and get it!" Gao Ning instructed.
"I know!" Aqin nodded.
As the two pushed the cart back, Aqin couldn't help but ask: "Boss, aren't you afraid of losing money by opening a milk tea shop like this?"
"How can you lose money?"
“You still won’t lose money on milk tea with a 10% discount?”
Gao Ning smiled: "Hey, you are the front desk. Do you still remember how many cups we sold just now?"
Aqin thought for a while: "Three to four hundred cups, plus 17 people who had their membership cards charged, the total charge was a little more than 5,000 yuan!"
Gao Ning nodded: "How much does a cup of other milk tea cost?"
"Everything is available for eight or ten yuan!"
"Just calculating ten yuan, five thousand yuan is worth five hundred cups of milk tea. I have only sold three or four hundred cups now. Do you think I will make a profit or a loss?"
Aqin was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this different?"
Gao Ning nodded and said: "Of course it's different. The money charged into the membership card is only a deposit and cannot be counted as income. But it is undeniable that the money is already in my hands, right?"
Aqin nodded: "That's true!"
"Let's put aside whether you make money or not. If you are a customer and you buy a cup of milk at a discount, are you going to make a fortune in silence or dragging your friends along to take advantage?" Gao Ning asked.
"Of course it will be publicized and known all over the world! Who wouldn't take advantage of it?"
"Yes, no one will take advantage of us!" Gao Ning nodded: "As long as there are advantages to take advantage of, our customer base will be endless.
Does that mean our business won’t be much different in the future?”
Aqin thought for a while: "It seems so!"
“And customers who have signed up as members will not buy all the milk tea at once, or even buy milk tea every day.
Now! Everyone knows that milk tea is actually very profitable. It doesn’t matter if you divide it into two cups or three times.
You can still make money at half the price, and you still have many customers. Are you qualified to open a branch?"
Aqin was startled: "Are we going to open a branch now?"
Gao Ning smiled and said no more: "Anyway, as I said before, there are people who do the business of beheading, but no one does the business of losing money! My milk tea shop will not be in debt!"
Aqin nodded in understanding.
Gao Ning smiled mysteriously.
Who said milk tea shops make money by selling milk tea? They obviously earn franchise fees and management fees!
As for another profit point, it requires the cooperation of golden fingers!
As soon as I returned to the street, I heard a commotion in front of me.
Ali almost ran over and said out of breath: "Boss, someone is charging protection money!"
"Coming so soon?" x2
Gao Ning and A Qin said in unison.
Aqin secretly smiled bitterly: It's broken, someone asking for money is here!
Gao Ning was secretly happy: Okay, here comes the money giver!
"Don't worry, I'll go take a look!"
Gao Ning comforted the two of them and walked quickly to the store.
At the entrance of the store, seven or eight young and Dangerous boys wearing floral shirts, with their nostrils turned upward and their eyes eager to roll over their heads, were standing sparsely, isolating the crowd and preventing others from coming forward.
Most people are watching.
Some people wanted to buy milk tea, but they were either blocked by the Young and Dangerous boys or pulled away by well-meaning people.
For a time, the customers all turned into onlookers, as if they were waiting to see a good show.
The boss has a ponytail, a gold chain, a gold watch, big sunglasses, a fierce face, and an indifferent expression.
Surrounded by his younger brothers, he was indifferent to others and kept picking at his nails with a dagger, seemingly confident.
Two barbers crowded in front of the bar, staring and slapping the table.
"Hey! Don't say that we in Hongxing are bullying people. A popular milk tea shop like yours can earn tens of thousands of yuan a day. We have already taken good care of you by asking for 100,000 yuan in protection fees!"
"Hurry up and call your boss, otherwise don't blame my boss, Brother Mawei, for going crazy and destroying your stall!"
"Didn't the decoration of this store cost a lot of money? Don't waste the money on the business, it's not suitable!"
The three young men at the counter were frozen.
They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Which big brother wants to destroy my stall?"
Gao Ning stood out from the crowd with a smile on his face.
Mawei glanced at it but said nothing.
The boy next to him immediately shouted: "Are you the one here? Brother Hongxing Mawei is doing something, get out of the way!"
Whoosh!
As soon as he spoke, the place fell silent, and everyone present looked at him strangely.
Gao Ning wanted to laugh a little, but the corner of his ponytail mouth twitched.
The boy was startled by everyone's reaction and shouted: "What are you looking at? My boss Mawei..."
Snapped!
Ma Tail slapped him in the face, and the younger brother covered his mouth and spun around, completely stunned.
"Boss, you..."
"do not talk!"
The boy next to him pounced on him and dragged him aside.
After the farce, Mawei looked at Gao Ning: "Are you the boss?"
"Yes! Brother Mawei, do you have any advice?"
"Easy to say!"
Mawei nodded: "One hundred thousand dollars a month will keep you out of trouble!"
"Okay!" Gao Ning nodded.
Ma Wei was stunned, so simple?
The younger brother rushed up, pointed at Gao Ning and glared: "Boy, don't play tricks. Do you believe I'm flattering you?"
Gao Ning looked at him blankly: "You haven't asked for advice?"
"Stop dragging the text, Brother Wuying is me, okay?" Brother Wuying's eyes widened.
Gao Ning nodded in his mind, no wonder he looked so familiar.
Mawei couldn't help but shouted: "Hua Zai, what are you doing? Watch this crazy line!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! He stayed up all night playing video games, and he's still an idiot. Boss, I'll get rid of him right now!"
The younger brother just came out and took Brother Wuying away.
When the scene returned to calm, Gao Ning and Ma Wei didn't know what to say.
He coughed lightly and said, "Then, bring me the money!"
"Okay, but the money is in the safe at home..."
"What are you waiting for?"
Mawei threw away the dagger, "Let's go, I'll go with you to get the money!"
"boss!"
Aqin called out worriedly, Gao Ning waved his hand to reassure her, and led everyone to go upstairs.
Next to him, Andy held down Wu Fei to prevent him from moving.
"Hey, boss, what are you doing!"
"What's the right thing for you to do? My boss has promised to give me money, what are you going to do?"
"Boss, you are a veteran of the world, why are you not alert at all? When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. We collect protection fees, which store has not been beaten down?
Even if you have to haggle over the price in a fly restaurant, and a big hotel will directly ask someone to do the accounting, how can he be so straightforward?" Wuying said loudly.
Andy was speechless: "You are crazy, if you have any problems, you have to see the money first!"
"What money? There must be something wrong with him anyway!"
The young and Dangerous boys disappeared and returned to work, and the store gradually returned to normal.
The onlookers looked at me and I looked at you. They were all a little disappointed to see that there was no fight.
The customers estimated that the two Hua Zai next to them were lining up intentionally or unintentionally.
After a while, the long queue came to an end.
Wuying was stunned: "Grandma, is the milk tea shop so hot?"
Hua Zai glanced at it and said, "You can become as popular as a pig's head if you sell it at a discount."
"That's right! You lose money with every discount. Is this boss crazy?" Wuying thought about it and couldn't understand.
The two of them squatted aside and chatted for a long time. They had smoked three or four cigarettes and their ponytails had not yet come down.
Wuying said: "Boss, how long has Brother Mawei been up here?"
Andy looked at his watch: "It's been about half an hour!"
"If you haven't come down for so long, something must have happened." As he said that, he was about to stand up.
Hua Zai hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Look, it's coming out, it's coming out!"
From the doorway of the building, Gao Ning walked out calmly, with a warm smile on his face.
Gao Ning glanced at the nine extra ignorant villains in the Q version of the prison, and his smile became even wider.
"Although he is an F-class criminal, the nine of them together can earn him thousands of dollars a day. Oh my, I really hope there will be another wave of people collecting protection fees! God of Wealth!"
"Hey! Milk Tea Boy! Where's Brother Mawei?"
A crowfly suddenly swooped out, followed by Andy with alert eyes.
Gao Ning asked strangely: "What Mawei brother? Who are you?"
"Brother Wuying! Stop pretending. Where have you done our brother Mawei?"
Saying that, Wu Fei started to pull Gao Ning's collar.
Hua Zai's quick eyesight and quick hands pulled him away and said with a forced smile: "I'm sorry, he is crazy and his mind is not clear. Don't be like him. Let's go, let's go back first!"
"But, boss..."
"Stop talking!"
Hua Zai glanced at Gao Ning and saw that he was always staring at him with a strange look. He shuddered suddenly and, no longer caring about covering up, he pulled the fly and ran away.
Watching the two of them disappear, the corners of Gao Ning's mouth turned up slightly: "You're quite clever!"
