Dongfang Liuyue also has the same uncertainty as Gu Mingjun!

She has been running a hotel for so long and is the first time she has encountered such a hot scene with a lot of customers. She was both excited and incredible. She smiled and said, "Today is just the first day, and it's another weekend, so there are more people! Also, the cost of doing this activity is actually quite high. Customers order expensive dishes, and they eat whatever dishes are expensive and what dishes are good."

Gu Mingjun nodded and said, "A new model has come out. Out of curiosity, someone will definitely come to try the taste. Therefore, in the early stage, we must make the service and taste well, so that these customers can become our repeat customers and also make them our free publicity staff."

After a little pause, he said again: "Sister Liuyue, no matter how high the cost is, we will always make a profit, right?"

Dongfang Liuyue smiled sweetly: "Of course! Although it has only been open for one day, I calculated the gross profit. Well, it is not very high, but it is about 30%!"

"30% profit? It's already very good!" Gu Mingjun said in surprise, "There are more people on weekends and more people on holidays. The business is a little lighter. On average, the monthly turnover can reach about one million, and the profit can reach 300,000. I thought it would be good if the profit margin could be maintained at around 10%!"

Dongfang Liuyue said: "Now the store has fewer people, at least ten people have to be hired. The kitchen, waiters, and handymen have to be hired. If you recruit people, you have to pay wages and rent dormitories for them to live in, the overall cost will still increase."

Gu Mingjun said: "Manpower cannot be saved, and workers' training and service awareness must be strengthened. We would rather lose some of the gross profit than bring up taste and service. This is the only way to maintain a long-term victory in business. Cooking a restaurant is actually about serving!"

Dongfang Liuyue said: "I think so too. The business is finally done, but it cannot be ruined easily. It is better to spend more money and hire some high-quality workers to manage it. In terms of management, we can save some labor. The loss in the store will be much less accidental. If you calculate inside and outside, it is still a good deal to hire high-quality workers."

Gu Mingjun said: "Yes, that's the reason."

The food was brought up at the moment, and Gu Mingjun discussed the development of the hotel with Dongfang Liuyue while eating.

The oriental Qin sat next to them, holding her chin with her hands, listening curiously.

If it weren't for Gu Mingjun's eye-catching school uniform, Dongfang Qin would have thought that the man who was talking was a experienced and knowledgeable business master who was teaching skills to those who were behind the scenes!

Gu Mingjun talked jokingly: "The social status of merchants is different from ancient times and the present, so I won't talk much about it. As for the group of merchants, they are divided into different levels. The lowest level is the unscrupulous businessman. The so-called businessman is not traitorous. Such people occupy the vast majority of the merchant group. Such people value profit and desire, forget their meaning when they see profit, and take the word profit as the guide. Everything is profitable first, profitable, profit must be achieved. Of course, they will not, and they dare not touch the bottom line of the laws of the world."

Dongfang Qin asked, "What about the second type? What kind of merchant is it?"

Gu Mingjun said: "Confucian businessman."

Dongfang Qin said, "When scholars do business, are they called Confucian business?"

Gu Mingjun said: "Since ancient times, because of the low status of merchants and noble scholars, there has been no intersection between the two for a long time. If a scholar who is knowledgeable goes out to do business, he will be scolded for not seeking progress. Zhu Zigui in the court is all scholars. Being an official and governing the country and pacifying the world is what scholars should do. Later, the times changed, and scholars also began to do business. They disdained the trick of the unscrupulous businessmen, and they still made money and even made their business bigger, thus forming a Confucian business group."

Dongfang Qin smiled and said, "My sister is a Confucian businessman! She is a scholar and goes to the market, and she never does anything wrong!"

Dongfang Liuyue was also fascinated by the fact that he heard it: "Apart from the unscrupulous merchants and Confucian merchants, are there any other types of merchants?"

Gu Mingjun said: "Before talking about another type of businessman, I have to add one more sentence. Many businessmen will go through the stage of profit-making business at the beginning of their business. They are just starting out and are oriented towards making money. This is also normal. True Confucian businessmen have a sense of responsibility and mission, think of justice when they see profit, have a true humanitarian spirit, and use Confucian moral standards as business philosophy. All actions are beneficial to oneself and others."

Dongfang Qin said, "Then, not all scholars can be called Confucian businessmen when doing business?"

Gu Mingjun said: "Of course. Scholars may be profiteers when doing business. People who have never read books may also become Confucian businessmen. This is different from the concepts and realms of doing business, and there is no necessary relationship between them and whether they have read books or not."

Oriental Qindao: "Is there a higher level than a real Confucian businessman?"

Gu Mingjun said: "Dao Shang!"

"Dao Shang? How do you understand?" Dongfang Qin put down her hand, raised her head slightly, and listened to him intently.

Gu Mingjun said: "Everything has certain rules. The same is true for business. The sages have a saying, and a gentleman is worried about the way of the way but not the poverty. Therefore, what Tao and business follow is the natural law of enterprise development. Money comes from the way of the way and continues. Knowing how to follow the rules will become a simple thing, and making money will become a natural thing."

Dongfang Qin said: "I have summarized it, is it like this? The goal of profit is small merchants. Those who take both righteousness and profit can be called Confucian merchants. Those who take righteousness as their core goal are big merchants."

Gu Mingjun looked at her with praise: "The son is teachable."

Dongfang Qin curled her lips and said, "Hey, I'm a college student! I need you to teach me? Humph! It's so good as a teacher!"

Dongfang Liuyue said: "Gu Mingjun, I roughly understand what you mean. Are you saying, are we going to become Taoist merchants?"

Gu Mingjun smiled slightly: "The core of all my words just now is that many businessmen will go through the stage of profiteering when they start their own business. We are just starting out and are oriented towards making money, which is also very normal."

The oriental sisters looked at each other.

Gu Mingjun smiled and said, "I'm not teaching you to be a profitable businessman. I just think that if a person can't make money, then why are there any Confucian businessmen or big businessmen? How about the enlightenment and becoming a god? Make money first, then talk about other things. Of course, the premise of making money is to dance within the rules of the law. If you make money illegally, you are not called a businessman, but a criminal!"

Dongfang Liuyue suddenly became a little confused and asked, "Gu Mingjun, you first talked to me about the business philosophy of a big business, saying that you wanted to improve services, and then talked about Confucian business and Taoist business. As a result, you gave me such a summary?"

Gu Mingjun said: "Becoming a Confucian businessman and a Taoist businessman is our goal, but at this stage, we are still small businessmen. Whether it is to improve the taste of dishes or improve service awareness, all of this is to make money better. These are just tricks or techniques used by small businessmen to make money."

Dongfang Liuyue heard this and her heart was shocked!

This half-grown man speaks gentle and gentle, humble and reasonable, but in fact he has hidden murderous intent in his bones and is unfathomable!

The three of them were having aroused conversation when a scream suddenly came from over there: "Why are you hitting someone!"
