Siheyuan: Super Comprehension

"They said that in order to make our pub realize its mistakes, they would take some severe measures against us, such as imposing fines."

Mr. Feng's words rang out again.

Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

So this is it, that’s nothing.

Fines happen all the time, so it's nothing serious.

After all, when doing business, there are always some unexpected things happening.

So it's normal to be fined from time to time.

At most it’s only a few dozen or one or two hundred yuan, which is really nothing.

This has happened before, so both of them have some idea of ​​what this is going to happen.

But what Mr. Feng said next also shocked the two of them.

"A fine of 2000!"

"what?"

The two of them suddenly widened their eyes, a little bit unbelievable.

Wow, the fine is so much.

This was indeed a bit beyond the expectations of both of them.

I thought it would be only one or two hundred dollars at most, but I didn't expect it to be 10 times that.

This is really a bit outrageous.

"They said that the price of the wine we sold was 20% higher than theirs, which has already affected the market price, so this kind of punishment is reasonable. Not charging you with other crimes is already a mercy."

Old Master Feng spoke helplessly while smoking his pipe.

When he first heard about this situation, he was stunned and for a moment he didn't dare to believe it.

After all, to be honest, the money from the fine is more than what his pub earns.

He doesn't even know if this pub is worth two thousand dollars.

It's just that what they said is indeed the truth.

Others sell a glass of wine for 8 cents, but you sell it for cents.

Regardless of the real materials in it, the price is indeed a bit too high.

Nowadays, it is considered quite merciful to just fine you a little and not accuse you of speculation.

Even though Mr. Feng explained in every possible way, the other party didn't say much.

When he was leaving in disgrace, he saw the owner of another shop somewhere, and only then did he understand something.

As the saying goes, you are the center of public criticism. No matter how well you do, you have ignored the rules here.

There will definitely be a crowd attacking it.

So Mr. Feng had no choice.

I could only rush back to the pub.

"So…what should we do then?"

As an outsider at this time, Cai Quanwu didn't know what to say.

It was really not his place as an outsider to say anything about this matter, and mainly because there was nothing to say.

To put it bluntly, he is just a worker.

Let alone 2000 yuan, he had never seen 200 yuan in his life, so this question was a bit beyond the scope for him.

Xu Huizhen's pretty face also turned pale, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

It seems that the fine must be paid, otherwise the pub will not be able to open.

But where to pay the fine? That is another matter.

"How much money is left in the account now?" After taking a few puffs of his pipe, Mr. Feng turned to look at Xu Huizhen.

Although this matter was indeed caused by Xu Huizhen, it has nothing to do with her.

After all, they may cut corners and engage in fraudulent activities, and only sell genuine products at real prices.

And he agreed at that time.

Now that someone has bought it at a bargain price, it’s hard to say anything.

"There are still more than 200 left. This is the money left from selling the wine we bought last time."

Xu Huizhen moved her mouth. Although her mind was buzzing, she still mentioned the matter of accounts.

This money was naturally the money that He Yuzhu used to buy that batch of wine.

This money may seem like a lot, but in fact nearly 80% of it is the original cost price.

It is indeed this 20%, but this 20% includes labor costs.

If you calculate carefully, it would be good if you can earn 10%.

After all, Xu Huizhen is not like some pub owners who add 50% water into the drink. The cost can be imagined.

"Only two hundred... plus my pension..."

Old Master Feng narrowed his eyes and began to calculate.

In fact, the family tavern had never made much money before Xu Huizhen took over.

At most, it can just protect the capital.

Because when Mr. Feng ran the tavern, he also sold wine mixed with water.

Naturally, it won’t attract many customers.

Customers are not fools. They can tell whether your water is mixed with alcohol or not just by drinking it.

Since the wine is all watered down, you might as well buy some and drink it at home. Why are you coming here?

So in the past, I could just barely break even.

It's still difficult to make money.

Later, after Xu Huizhen took over and changed the business plan, and began to sell genuine wine at real prices, the business gradually improved.

But this product is genuine and of high quality, but it must be maintained by real materials.

Fortunately, with her natural advantages, Xu Huizhen has also attracted many regular customers.

Although there is a steady stream of customers, the real ingredients do have costs, so although you can make money, it’s small money.

In a good situation, earning a few dozen dollars a month is enough.

A glass of wine costs ten cents, and you can make two cents. After deducting the operating expenses of labor costs, you may only make one cent.

Do you really think money is so easy to make?

But the net income of a few dozen dollars a month is far more than that of the old man.

The total amount over the past two or three years is quite a lot.

But compared with this fine, it's really a drop in the bucket.

Because it means that Mr. Feng might have to sacrifice his entire life savings.

This made him feel a little reluctant.

He was almost half buried in the ground with his neck covered, and then something like this happened. If he put the coffin in there, who knows what will happen to him in the future.

After doing business for so many years, he knows that no matter how good the money is, it will be wasted if it is not yours.

Only the money you put into your own pocket is your own money.

As for Xu Huizhen, there is no need to say more. She has put all her energy into this tavern.

Sometimes, one’s own salary is even included in the purchase account.

So let alone having any savings in my pocket.

"The old man has made a lot of money from the tavern in recent years. I wonder if we can..."

Xu Huizhen couldn't help but speak. What she meant was naturally that if she took out all the profits of the tavern in the past few years, it should be enough to fill the gap.

"Impossible! These are my coffin books, how can you take them out?"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mr. Feng.

Looking at his dark face, it was obvious that he was not very willing.

Xu Huizhen pouted, feeling a little depressed.

"Let me think about it."

After a long silence, Mr. Feng left after saying a few words.

It seems that this matter really needs to be discussed carefully.

Is it for the pub or for your own future?

This is a question worth thinking about.
