During the agricultural harvest in Baowan Town for more than half a month, Du Qihui would sneak up to the Gu Family Hotel every one or two days to find Zhou Ming, and then offer various benefits, inviting him to join the Du Family Hotel, and offer the highest price. He even said that he could give him 25% of the Du Family Hotel shares, as long as he brought his superb cooking skills.

After hearing these generous conditions, Zhou Ming did not give a clear answer, saying that he is very busy now and has no time to consider joining the franchise. When he has free time in the future, he will take the initiative to talk to Boss Du in detail, please Boss Du not to disturb his work... After a while, someone will rush to Du Qihui, drag, hold, or hold him out of the Gu family hotel.

After the harvest period ended, most of the pigeon groups left Baowan Town with the credit points they earned. Most of the agricultural product merchants from other places agreed on the contract and left the town with satisfaction.

The popularity of the town has declined significantly.

The business of Gujia Hotel dropped to half of its busiest time.

Zhou Ming, who had no more than 8 hours of rest time every day, finally had a sleep that could sleep for more than 6 hours, as well as an intermediate rest time of more than 2 hours in the morning and afternoon.

Hard work is equal to generous rewards.

Heavy rewards.

On the afternoon of July 18, all the owners and employees of Gujia Hotel held a conference and took stock of the total turnover of Gujia Hotel since the harvest date on July 1 and to the end of today's harvest period, the total turnover of Gujia Hotel and its net profit in 18 days.

Total turnover: 889,300 credit points

As for profit, because Gujia Hotel is close to the agricultural production area, it can purchase edible oil, grain, vegetables and some meat at a lower cost, so the gross profit is about 50%.

Of course, after deducting the water and electricity charges, there is a 12.8% business tax paid to the town tax center, a 1.5% garbage disposal fee charged by the health management department, and other miscellaneous expenses. The actual net profit only accounts for about 33% of the turnover.

In other words, in 18 days, Gujia Hotel achieved a net profit of 290,000 credit points.

On average, I earn more than 16,000 points per day.

These days, the number of people who come to Gujia Hotel to have a meal every day is about 2,000, and an average of 8 credit points per customer earns.

Zhou Ming frowned when he heard these data, and he was very dissatisfied with it.

Very little, it's too little, it feels like this is an insult to his cooking skills.

Is it because 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 District 52), most people are extremely poor, and they can be called the middle class.

In other words, as long as you have a stable job (no matter what job it is), as long as you are not a pigeon, your monthly income is at least four or five thousand credit points. The world is highly productive and generally low in price. As long as you don’t spend money indiscriminately, even an ordinary farm worker can save 340,000 credit points a year.

In the more than a month of wandering in Yaoxing City, Zhou Ming roughly estimated that in this world (52 districts), the poor accounted for about 5% of the total population; the middle class accounted for 85%; and about 10% were rich people who could afford commercial housing in the city, travel, and travel to a suspended car, have various intelligent electrical appliances at home, and their children could afford to go to aristocratic schools.

Baowan Town is an important agricultural town, with a total agricultural output value of more than 10 billion yuan each year. There are many rich farmers, millions and millionaires in the town. Because they are all big landlords and owners of means of production, they are all local tyrants and are not short of money.

Since there are many rich people in this world, why did Zhou Ming make such a little money in these 18 days?

He believes that there are three main reasons.

One, the dishes at Gujia Hotel are too low, more than a dozen or twenty dishes ordered by a plate, and the profit margin is too small.

Another thing is that people in this world are not particularly keen on food. They may be able to buy communication instruments that cost tens of thousands of credits, floating cars that cost millions of dollars, and various convenient and easy-to-use smart home appliances. People are willing to buy them, but they are more frugal in terms of diet and do not pursue verbal enjoyment. Sometimes, they can save as much as possible.

The most important point is that people in this world have a long-term vision and will not spend too many credit points in their hands. They will try their best to exchange them for the "money" they want most through various channels.

What is the approximately exchange rate?

It seems to be 1:100,000 on the surface, but Gu Naifeng once used a communications device to open a website called "Money Transaction Network" to let Zhou Ming see that among the hundreds of thousands of purchase information that are constantly updated, the information that is bold and topped is "Purchase money, one credit point of 1 million yuan, how much is it to buy!"

There are still 800,000, 700,000, and 600,000 credit points below. Among the first thousand acquisition information, none of them have less than 300,000.

The most prosperous demand in this world is always money.

Therefore, Zhou Ming wants to earn endless amounts of money through the path of the food empire, which is destined to be extremely difficult and full of challenges.

After all, it is so difficult for him to earn credit points now. He is exhausted and has to get such a little reward, wanting to make money...

"We still have to speed up the research and development of new dishes and produce more seasonings and sauces! We will increase the taste of the dishes by a few more levels, not only to defeat smart kitchen robots, but also to defeat people's consumption habits! Let them put more credit and money into enjoying food, and it is best that they all become foodies, and they don't want anything except eating..."

Zhou Ming was not satisfied with the achievements made by the Fengcheng Festival Hotel, but the Gu family was extremely satisfied, with each smiling face and smiling in a crack.

Gu Dawei sighed: "At this time last year, the hotel's turnover was less than 800,000, but this year it was close to 900,000. Moreover, we still overwhelmed the Du family hotel without a kitchen robot and achieved such results. This is really..." He looked at Zhou Ming opposite, but found that he looked calm and did not seem to be too excited.

Gu Naifeng said: "I want to buy the latest Star Sky S19 communication device. I have been using the old S17 for eight years. It is a second-hand refurbished product used by others. It has been a long time since I used it. The video with my classmates is blurry, it is always shaking, the volume is low, and it can only take three days to charge it once... And I am about to go to college. If I don't change to a new one, my classmates will definitely laugh at me."

"no!"

Gu Naihui immediately suppressed his delusion: "A S19 costs 50,000 credit points, and you can't buy such expensive ones. I'll give you my S18, or buy another second-hand one, and a few thousand credit points are enough."

"Sister, do you want to be so stingy? I have made so much money in the store recently. What's wrong with buying a communication device for me? I have also worked hard these days. Do I not pay a credit salary to me? Besides, I bought a communication device for fun, I have to use it as well as my study."

"If you don't work, it's not possible! No matter how much you do, how much Tieqiang does? You just do something about washing vegetables and serving dishes, and you dare to ask for 50,000 credit points. Are you working alone in this hotel?"

"Xiaohui is right. Xiaoqiang is getting up early and going to bed late these days, and he is busy all day long. He doesn't hear him complaining about being tired. You sit down and say you're tired. The store finally made some money, but Xiaoqiang didn't even ask for anything. You ask for so much at once... Son, you have to be half assured as Xiaoqiang, and your mother will be relieved."

Gu Dawei also joined the queue of criticizing his son. Everyone saw Tian Tieqiang's performance these days. He was really like a machine, and he rarely stopped in the middle. Gu Dawei asked himself, when he was young, he had never worked like this, but his health was the best. When he was working hardest, he never worked to this level. This was completely exchanging his body for money.

His wife Zhang Peizhen, now looking at Xiaoqiang, is no longer the kind of gaze he admires at the beginning, but treats him as a member of the Gu family. He does ideological work for his daughter whenever he has time. He says that such a man can't meet one in a thousand, and tells her to seize it and not let him fly! Otherwise, the Gu family's losses will be immeasurable, and it will definitely be more than ten smart kitchen robots!

Gu Naihui was very resistant to these ideological work at first, but after a long time, when she saw that man was completely selfless when working in the kitchen, with a serious look on his face and the deliciousness he cooked, she kept receiving praise from customers, and slowly conquering her stomach and intestines, she found that she no longer hated and resisted this man who almost killed her. Even after hearing her mother's strong matchmaking, she faintly changed herself in her heart, making him no longer neglect her thoughts and actions. The tone of speaking to him was less sarcastic and harsh, and a little more caring and gentle... This made her often wonder whether this was the same person she used to be.

"Xiaofeng, please use your S17. I don't have such a thing. I'll ask your sister to give it to you for a 50,000 credit point and buy a new communication device. The money is in her hands. If she doesn't give it, she will ask her to deduct it from my salary. I should have 50,000 yuan, right?"

Zhou Ming suddenly spoke, the smart communication instrument in this world is a bit like the combination of smartphones and laptops in his world, but it is more advanced and has a higher technological content. In the underground mining area of ​​District 51, he only saw the mining area manager Liu Wei. After entering District 52, he basically had one. Of course, he also wanted to have one. He borrowed the S17 from Gu Naifeng many times. Except for some problems with video communication, the other functions are good, and the appearance is relatively new. It is completely unsightly. It is an old machine that has been out of the factory for ten years.

Having agreed to buy a s19 for Gu Naifeng, Zhou Ming was just a favor. Xiaofeng is not bad, he can even be said to be a little simple and smart. He is the future star of the Gu family. If he graduates from university in the future and enters a higher hospital or research institute, he can also bring him a lot of valuable information.

It's just a 50,000 credit point. He doesn't care about this little money now. When he makes the Gu family hotel bigger and the food industry stronger, he also wants to buy one of the Star Sky S19 communication instruments, and he also wants to buy smart glasses, hover cars, and various smart robots. He wants to buy and own them all.

"Thank you, Brother Qiang, thank you, Brother Qiang, it's still Brother Qiang who treats me the best, long live Brother Qiang!"

Tanifeng held Zhou Ming's hand and was as excited as a child who had a lollipop.

"Two prodigal men are so angry!"
