Chapter 196 Inventory
During the more than half-month agricultural harvest period in Baowan Town, Du Qihui would secretly come to the Gu's Restaurant every one or two days, find Zhou Ming, and then promise him various benefits, inviting him to join the Du's Restaurant. Once, he even said that he could give him 25% of the shares of Du's restaurant, as long as he brought his superb cooking skills over.

After Zhou Ming heard about these generous conditions, he did not give a clear answer, saying that he is very busy now and has no time to think about joining cooperation. When he is free in the future, he will take the initiative to talk to Boss Du in detail. Please Boss Du, please don’t disturb him. Du Qihui's job... After a while, someone would rush in front of Du Qihui, drag him, hold him up, or pinch him, and throw him out of the Gujia Restaurant.

After the harvest period, most of the pigeon family left Baowan Town with the earned credits. Most of the agricultural product merchants from other places had negotiated contracts and left the town with satisfaction. .

The popularity of the town has dropped significantly.

The business of Gujia Restaurant has dropped to half of its busiest time.

Zhou Ming, who has no more than 8 hours of rest time in total every day, finally has a sleep time of more than 6 hours, and an intermediate rest time of more than 2 hours each in the morning and afternoon.

Hard work equals rich rewards.

Heavy rewards.

On the afternoon of July 7th, all the owners and employees of Gujia Restaurant held a meeting to take stock of the harvest period from July 18st to the end of today’s harvest. During the 7 days, the total How much turnover, and net profit.

Total turnover: 88.93 credit points
As for profit, because Gujia Restaurant is close to the agricultural production area, it can purchase edible oil, grain, vegetables and some meat at a relatively low cost, so the gross profit is about 50%.

Of course, after deducting water and electricity fees, the 12.8% business tax that needs to be paid to the town tax center, the 1.5% garbage disposal fee collected by the health management department, and other miscellaneous expenses, the actual net profit only accounts for 33% of the turnover. about.

That is to say, within 18 days, Gujia Hotel achieved a net profit of 29 credits.

Earn an average of more than [-] points per day.

And these days, the number of people who come to Gujia Restaurant to eat every day is about 2000, and each customer earns 8 credit points on average.

Zhou Ming frowned when he heard these data, feeling very dissatisfied.

Less, it was too little, it felt like an insult to his cooking skills.

Could it be that there are too few rich people in this town?Or is it that most people in this world are poor?
No, no, according to Zhou Ming's observation, in this world (only in Area 52), the vast majority of people are not poor, and they can be called middle class.

In other words, as long as you have a stable job (no matter what kind of job it is), as long as you are not a pigeon family, your monthly income should be at least four or five thousand credit points, and the world has high productivity and generally low prices. As long as you don't spend money randomly, even an ordinary farm worker can save 3 to 4 credits a year.

During the more than a month of wandering in Yaoxing City, Zhou Ming roughly estimated that in this world (Area 52), the poor accounted for about 5% of the total population; the middle class accounted for 85%; and there were about 10%. They are the wealthy class who can afford commercial housing in the urban area, can afford to drive a suspension car for travel, have all kinds of intelligent appliances at home, and can afford noble schools for their children.

And Baowan Town is an important agricultural town. The annual total agricultural output value exceeds tens of billions of credit points. Rich farmers, millionaires, and multi-millionaires abound in the town because they are all big landlords and all are means of production. The owners are all local tyrants, and they are not short of money.

Since there are many rich people in this world, why did Zhou Ming earn such a little money after working so hard for 18 days?
He believes that there are mainly three reasons.

One, the price of the dishes in Gujia Restaurant is too low, and the profit margin is too small for a dish of more than a dozen or twenty credits.

Another thing is that the consumption habits of people in this world are not particularly keen on food. There may be tens of thousands of credit points for a communication device, millions of suspension vehicles, and various convenient and easy-to-use smart home appliances. People are willing to buy , but in terms of diet, he is relatively frugal, and does not pursue the enjoyment of tongue too much. Sometimes, he can save as much as he can.

The most important point is that people in this world have a long-term vision, no matter how many credit points they have in their hands, they will not spend them indiscriminately, and will try their best to exchange them for what they want most through various channels. "money".

How much is this conversion ratio?

On the surface, it seems to be 1:10, but Gu Naifeng once used a communication device to open a website called "Money Trading Network", and let Zhou Ming see that among the hundreds of thousands of continuously updated purchase information, adding The rough message at the top is "I want to buy money, 100 million credits each, buy as much as you have!"

There are also 80, 70, and 60 credits below, and none of the first thousand purchase information is less than 30.

In this world, the greatest need is always money.

Therefore, it is bound to be extremely difficult and full of challenges for Zhou Ming to earn an infinite amount of money through the road of food empire.

After all, it is so difficult for him to earn credit points now, and he has worked so hard to get back such a little return. He wants to make money...

"We still have to step up the research and development of new dishes and come up with more seasonings and sauces! To improve the taste of dishes to a few levels, we must not only defeat smart kitchen robots, but also defeat people's consumption habits! Let them, put more The credits and money I have spent on enjoying delicious food, it is best that everyone becomes a foodie, and everyone thinks about nothing but eating..."

Zhou Ming was dissatisfied with the performance of the Harvest Hotel, but the Gu family members were all very satisfied, with smiles all over their faces and their eyes narrowed.

Gu Dawei said with emotion: "At this time last year, the restaurant's turnover was less than 80 yuan, but this year it was close to 90 yuan, and we still surpassed Du's restaurant without kitchen robots, and achieved such The results, this is really..." He glanced at Zhou Ming opposite, but found that his face was indifferent, and he didn't seem to be too excited.

Gu Naifeng said: "I want to buy the latest Xingkong S19 communicator. I have used the old S17 for eight years. It is a second-hand refurbished product used by others. It has long been difficult to use. The video screen with classmates is blurry. It keeps vibrating, the volume is low, and it can only be used for three days on a single charge... and I'm going to college soon, if I don't change to a new one, my classmates will definitely laugh at me."

"no!"

Gu Naihui immediately suppressed his delusion: "One S19 needs 18 credits, you can't buy such an expensive one, I'll give you my S[-], or buy a second-hand one, a few thousand credits is enough .”

"Sister, do you want to be so stingy? I made so much money in the store recently, what's wrong with using a small part to buy me a communication device? These days I also contribute to work, so don't you give me a salary of one credit point? Besides, I didn’t buy the communicator for playing, I also use it for studying.”

"No, no, no! No matter how much you do, how much does Tie Qiang do? You just do some washing and serving dishes, and you dare to ask for [-] credits. You are running this restaurant alone. live?"

"Xiaohui is right. Xiaoqiang is busy these days from morning to night, and he is busy all day long. I haven't heard him complain about being tired. What about you? You complain about being tired when you sit down. The store finally made some money, and Xiaoqiang didn't ask for it. What, you want so much at once... Son, if you want Xiaoqiang to be half-steady, your mother and I will be at ease."

Gu Dawei also joined the queue of criticizing his son. These days, Tieqiang’s performance was seen by everyone. He was really like a machine, and he rarely stopped in the middle. Gu Dawei asked himself, when he was young, he never worked like this , Even when I had the best body and the hardest work, I never worked hard to this level. This is completely exchanging my body for money.

His wife, Zhang Peizhen, looks at Xiaoqiang now, not with the kind of eyes that admired talents at the beginning, but as a member of the Gu family, who does ideological work for her daughter whenever she is free, saying that such a man is worth a thousand miles. I can't even touch one, so she must hold on to it and don't let him fly!Otherwise, the loss of the Gu family would be immeasurable, definitely more than ten smart kitchen robots!

Gu Naihui was very resistant to these ideological tasks at first, but after a long time, seeing that man, when he was working in the kitchen, he completely forgot himself, with a serious look on his face, and the delicious food he cooked, he kept receiving compliments from the guests, and also As she slowly conquered her stomach, she found that she no longer hated and resisted the man who almost killed her. Even after hearing her mother's efforts to match her up, she faintly changed herself in her heart. Let him no longer neglect her own thoughts and actions, and the tone of her speech to him is less harsh and more caring and gentle... This makes her often wonder if this is her previous self.

"Xiaofeng, let me use your S17. I don't have this kind of thing. Ask your sister to give you [-] credits to buy a new communication device. The money is in her hands. If she doesn't give it, I will ask her to deduct it from my salary. , I should have a salary of [-], right?"

Zhou Ming suddenly said, the smart communicator in this world is a bit like the combination of smartphones and laptops in his world, but it is more advanced and has higher technological content. In the underground mining area of ​​Area 51, he only met the mine manager Liu Wei has it in his hands. After entering Area 52, everyone basically has one. Of course, he also wants to have one. As for Gu Naifeng's S17, he has borrowed it many times. Except for a problem with video communication, other functions are good, and the appearance is relatively good. It's new, and it's completely impossible to tell that this is an old machine that has been out of the factory for ten years.

Agreeing to buy an S19 for Gu Naifeng, Zhou Ming is just being a favor, Xiaofeng is not bad, he can even be said to be a little innocent, and he is also very smart. He is the future star of the Gu family. If he graduates from university, enters a high-level hospital or The research institute can also bring him a lot of valuable information.

It's only 19 credits. He doesn't care about this small amount of money now. When he makes the Gujia Restaurant bigger and the food industry stronger, he will also buy one of the Starry Sky S[-] communicators, as well as those smart glasses, hover cars, all kinds of things. He wants to buy and own every kind of intelligent robot.

"Thank you Brother Qiang, thank you Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang is the best for me, long live Brother Qiang!"

Gu Naifeng held Zhou Ming's hand, excited like a child who got a lollipop.

"Two prodigal men, I'm so mad!"

Gu Naihui stared at the two of them speechlessly, then looked at Zhou Ming for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable: You are so kind to my brother, why don't you treat me well?
