Life in the world of film and television

Chapter 100

After the morning exercise, he returned home from the park, took a brief shower, changed his clothes, and Li Mu drove to the coffee shop.

Since I used the small popularity aggregator that day, I have been busy exploring the store these days, and I haven't been here for six or seven days.

When we arrived at the place, we found a comfortable place to sit down, took a book and turned two pages, when the store manager Ji Han walked over with a smile on his face.

"Boss, we made a profit!"

"Profit?" Although he had predicted it, he was still a little happy to hear the result.

The store manager Ji Han said happily: "Yes, it's profitable."

"In recent days, the popularity of the store has soared, and it can basically maintain a profit every day."

"If this trend can continue, our store will survive."

The tone was a little excited.As the store manager, Ji Han has been under a lot of pressure to lose money every month since opening, but her popularity is too low, and she can't find a suitable solution.

Even after Li Mu took over, he had a very good attitude and said he didn't care about losses, Ji Han was always under a lot of pressure.

Finally, the dawn has ushered in these days. The customer flow in the store has increased several times, and it has remained profitable every day.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief. If the current popularity can be maintained, the store can be said to survive.

Thinking of this, Ji Han took out a form and handed it to Li Mu.

"Boss, I made a special statistical data, take a look..."

He pointed to the data on the left and said, "This is the operating data of our store last month."

Li Mu followed her fingers and looked over.

Daily average passenger flow: 35 people; per capita consumption: 48 yuan; average daily turnover: 1680 yuan, monthly turnover: 50400 yuan.

The gross profit rate is 70.00%, and the monthly gross profit is 35280 yuan.

Fixed expenses: monthly rent cost 15000; monthly staff salary cost 40000; water and electricity miscellaneous expenses 3500.

Total expenditure: 58500 yuan.

Gross profit is 35280 yuan minus fixed expenses of 58500 yuan.

Loss last month: 23220 yuan.

No wonder the coffee shop is going to be transferred, the popularity is so miserable, it will lose money every month, who can resist it!
Seeing that Li Mu had finished reading, Ji Han pointed to a set of data below and said, "This is the operating data for the last seven days."

Average daily passenger flow: 118 people.

Per capita consumption: 45 yuan.

Average daily turnover: 5310 yuan.

Ji Han continued: "Compared to last month, although the per capita consumption has decreased, the average daily passenger flow has more than tripled. If this trend can be maintained this month, the profit is certain."

"According to this data, I made a special estimate, you see..."

Li Mu nodded and looked along his fingers.

Based on the average daily turnover: 5310 yuan, 30 days per month, the monthly turnover is as high as: 159300 yuan.

Based on the gross profit rate of 70.00%, monthly gross profit: 111510 yuan.

Minus monthly fixed expenses: 58500 yuan.

Monthly net profit reached: 53010 yuan.

Ji Han said excitedly: "If the current popularity continues, not only will the store no longer lose money, but it will also generate a monthly net profit of around [-]."

Li Mu nodded and said in surprise, "So many!"

Ji Han said: "If you can maintain the current popularity, there are indeed so many."

After thinking about it, Li Mu asked again: "The passenger flow has increased so much, can the seven of you be busy enough?"

Ji Han hesitated for a moment, not knowing what Li Mu's attitude was, so he decided to talk better.It can't be that the business has just started to pick up, and if you get a little busy, you need to increase the number of people. What if the popularity goes down again?
"Boss, don't worry. I didn't experience such a large passenger flow in the first few days, and I was really in a hurry. It's getting better these days, and I can slowly adapt."

"Only during some peak hours, there are too many customers staying in the store at the same time, and the manpower is a little tight. Everyone works harder and can pass."

"Although it's busier than before, the store is profitable, and everyone feels at ease."

Li Mu nodded. The customer flow has increased so much. There are only seven shop assistants. It's okay during off-peak hours. During peak hours, the manpower will indeed be a little tight.

He is not a stingy person, and he does not want to squeeze his employees. This popularity will continue in the future, and he is profitable anyway. There is no need to increase profits in this way.

"Manager Ji, thank you for your hard work. The customer flow in the store has increased, so you can't tire everyone. I will give you two more recruitment spots, and the salary cost is only about 1 yuan. You can recruit two more at your discretion."

Ji Han raised his head and looked at Li Mu in surprise. She didn't say anything. The other party offered two recruitment spots first. This was the first time he had seen such a generous boss.

"No need, boss, the current passenger flow, although the seven of us are busy, we can still persist."

"Besides, I don't know if the popularity will remain so good in the future. When the popularity stabilizes, if everyone finds it difficult, it will not be too late to consider recruiting people."

Li Mu smiled and said: "That's fine, then put these two recruitment places in your hands first, and decide when to recruit people, so don't let everyone get tired."

Ji Han smiled and said, "Thank you boss."

……

Li Mu read the book for a while, seeing that the popularity of the cafe was stable, and just about to leave, the deputy store manager Ding Xiaoxue led a pretty-looking, student-like girl over.

"Boss, is our store hiring a pianist? She wants to work as a pianist part-time."

Li Mu looked up, the girl was about 20 years old, not too beautiful, but very good-looking, with a gentle temperament, she was still a little green, she looked like a student who hadn't entered the society.

Seeing Li Mu looking over, the girl was a little nervous, and then said very politely: "Hello, I am a student from a nearby music college, my name is Wang Yan, I saw a piano in the coffee shop, you are looking for a part-time pianist here ?"

Li Mu turned his head and looked at the milky white piano on the round platform on the right side of the coffee shop. It was bought by the previous boss. During this period of time, he almost forgot about this piano and regarded it as a decoration.

Of course, any guest who has leisure time can also play a song on stage.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the popularity of the coffee shop increased, someone came to apply for a pianist.

Li Mu is not familiar with this, he has never run a coffee shop, and he does not know how to appreciate music.

Just in time, Ji Han, the store manager over there, heard the movement and came over.

Li Mu said: "Manager Ji, a classmate here is applying for a pianist. Does our store need a pianist now?"

Ji Han took a look at Wang Yan: "There is a pianist who can improve the style of the coffee shop, and it is easy to attract some petty bourgeoisie and sentimental customers, and activate the popularity of the shop."

"However, the store's popularity has just risen in the past few days. It's hard to say whether it can be stabilized. Hiring another pianist will increase the store's operating costs. It still needs to be decided by you, the boss."

Hearing what Ji Han said, Wang Yan hurriedly said: "My part-time salary is very low, and it won't increase the operating cost of the store much. I come here to accumulate stage experience, and a lower salary is acceptable."

Li Mu thought about it, and it would be good to hire a pianist for the store. He exchanged a glance with Ji Han, nodded and said, "Okay, try playing a few songs first."

Wang Yan was a little overjoyed, bowed slightly to Li Mu, and walked towards the piano on the right.

With the sound of the melodious piano, first there is a classic canon in D major, followed by the city in the sky and the dream wedding...

All are classic and well-known songs.

Li Mu didn't know how to appreciate music, so he thought it was very nice.On the contrary, Ji Han listened with gusto, and many customers in the shop also subconsciously stopped talking and just admired silently.

When the piano sound ended, Ji Han nodded: "The level is good."

Li Mu said: "Then stay here, I'll let you talk to her, and I won't interfere."

Ji Han smiled: "Okay!"

In the end, Wang Yan stayed and played for three hours a day, with an hourly salary of forty and a hundred and twelve per day.

Li Mu doesn't understand the market conditions, the price should be quite cheap, and he doesn't want to get involved, Ji Han is fine with this kind of matter.
