Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"Sister-in-law, is this activity available to both stores? Can our old store also participate?"

Xu Wanning nodded: "Of course. Whether it's a discount card or a free meal coupon, it can be used in both stores. Didn't you say before that our old store hasn't had any activities for a long time? This time is just right, we can take advantage of the new store opening to have some fun."

While Dongzi and Xu Wanning were chatting, Cruella was not idle either. He was silently calculating with a calculator.

At first glance, this activity seems like it will definitely result in a loss. After all, the special prize is a bicycle worth nearly two hundred yuan, the first prize is a discount card, and the second, third and participation prizes are all free meal coupons. Even the participation prize comes with three free meal coupons.

The most expensive dish in the old restaurant is 5.80 yuan, and the new restaurant is slightly more expensive, making it a whole 6 yuan. Even if it is a participation prize, it means that for every 100 yuan recharge, the profit will be reduced by 18 yuan.

Of course, this is just an outsider's opinion.

Cuifen calculated the loss after deducting various costs.

Her fingers jumped quickly on the calculator keyboard, and finally found that there was no loss in this activity, it was just a matter of how much money she made.

While Xu Wanning was talking to Dongzi, she noticed Cuifen's strange expression and asked, "What's wrong? Do you think our event is too big?"

Cuifen hurriedly shook her head, her lips moving slightly, and whispered: "I just didn't expect that our profits would be so high..."

Xu Wanning laughed dumbly: "The catering industry is originally a highly profitable industry, but not everyone who opens a food store can make the business big and strong. Taste is one aspect, food safety is another, service is another, and there are all kinds of favorable conditions, location and people. Only by considering all these factors can we ensure that the business can be successful in the long run."

Cuifen felt that the profit was high, there was no doubt about that, but one had to know that the chefs of Xujiapuizi Restaurant were all taught by Xu Wanning personally, so the taste was naturally needless to say.

Judging from her cooking skills as a descendant of the imperial chef, there are few restaurants outside that can match the taste of Xujiapuizi Restaurant, otherwise Mr. Sun from Quanfulou would not always come to her for advice.

The second point is that the cost is low and the profit is high, which is relative.

Both the old store and the new store were purchased by Xu Wanning. She does not need to pay rent every month, which saves a lot of money in this regard.

Moreover, the meat supplier of Xujiapu Restaurant is Xu Wanning's breeding farm. In order to facilitate accounting and accounting, every time Yang Kai transports some meat to the restaurant, he will record it in the account book, but the price is calculated based on the cost price.

This saves a lot of money compared to buying meat in the market outside.

"Sister-in-law, let me take care of the new store for the next few days, otherwise I'm afraid Lu Xu won't be able to take care of it."

Lu Xu is the manager Dongzi found for the new store.

Ever since Xu Wanning bought the shop, Dongzi has always asked Lu Xu to follow him, and he teaches him personally, trying to help Lu Xu get the hang of things quickly.

I have to say that Dongzi has a good ability to judge people, and Lu Xu is also capable. He got the hang of it in just a few days. However, since it was his first time doing this job, it was inevitable that he would make some mistakes in a hurry, but it was not a big problem.

"No, just let him face it alone. If the main store is not busy, you can come and take a look when you have time."

After that, Xu Wanning looked at Lu Xu and said, "Our new restaurant has just opened, and this is your first time doing this kind of work, so I can give you a chance to make mistakes, but remember, you only have two chances. Don't be afraid if you make a mistake the first time. Remember where you went wrong and correct it after reviewing it. If you make the same mistake the second time, I'm sorry, my restaurant can't accommodate you."

Xu Wanning's words were very straightforward, and Lu Xu kept nodding: "Don't worry, little boss, I will definitely work hard and will never let you and Brother Dongzi down!"

The new store is tentatively scheduled to open on December 31st, which is tomorrow.

Xu Wanning plans to hold the opening ceremony of the new store for three days, spanning from 1982 to 1983. Even though people now prefer to celebrate the Lunar New Year and do not have much feeling for the New Year's Day, Xu Wanning still wants some sense of festive ceremony.

Therefore, in addition to the above activities, every customer who comes to the store to consume, even if they do not recharge, will be given a glass of ginger cola on each table.

A large pot of cola can make several pots of ginger cola. The cost is not too high, but it can make customers feel more at ease.

Following Dongzi, after taking note of some precautions, we prepared for the opening tomorrow.

Xu Wanning did not tell her family about the opening of the new store, and only the Lin family knew about it.

For her, as her business grows bigger and bigger, she will surely open more and more branches. Even if sending a flower basket is not expensive, her family can easily afford the money. However, Xu Wanning does not want her brother and the elders in the family to take leave again and again because of opening a store.

It's okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens too often, unpredictable conflicts will always arise, so she simply avoids this situation from the root.

In the evening, Xu Wanning returned home and told Lin's mother that they were going to Xindian the next day.

"Should I go and help you?" Lin's mother asked, "The new store is opening, there will definitely be a lot of customers. What if I can't handle it?"

Xu Wanning shook her head and refused: "The waiter has been hired, and Dongzi and Cuifen have also been specially trained, so they can handle it. I just want to tell you that I have to go to the new store tomorrow to check it out. I will be leaving early in the morning, so don't prepare my breakfast and lunch."

"That's fine."

Mother Lin responded indifferently and continued to eat with her head down.

Only then did Xu Wanning realize that something was not right with Lin's mother and she seemed to be in a bad mood.

But she did not ask any questions at the dinner table. After the meal, she took the initiative to wash the dishes and then went to Lin's mother's bedroom.

It gets dark early in winter. Even at seven o'clock, it is already pitch black outside.

Lin's mother didn't turn on the light and lay on the bed with her eyes closed for a nap.

Hearing the door being pushed open, she turned on the small bedside lamp. When she saw Xu Wanning suddenly appear in the bedroom, Lin's mother was stunned for a moment, "Aning, why are you here?"

"Mom, did something happen to you?"

Xu Wanning moved a stool and sat beside Lin's mother's bed. Her eyes were fixed on Lin's mother's face, not giving her any chance to escape or dodge.

"It's okay, you're overthinking it." Mother Lin lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to look directly at Xu Wanning: "I'm just too tired during this period, so I want to rest early."

"Mom, why do you have to hide things between you and me?"
