Zhou Yu had just finished a short meeting here, and Shen Jie hurried over and patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, giving Zhou Yu a thumbs up.

"Huanshan, you've done a really good job in this hotel. You'll feel right as soon as you enter the room. Even if you sit next to the window in the room, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance and playing with your phone, I feel like I could sit there all afternoon."

"Okay, just make a special trip here and you won't be disappointed." Zhou Yu chuckled and said, "The layout of each room and the angle of the viewing window are specially designed. This building is almost the same. It’s all about tearing down and rebuilding, so it’s not surprising that it has such an effect.”

Shen Jie nodded, looked around and asked, "I think the arrangement and design inside the store is quite good. There seem to be several hot spring pools in the back. Is there a hot spring in this place?"

"No." Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "There are many places in Guizhou Province with hot springs, but my store does not have any. They are all artificial hot spring water heated by boilers. It is just a decoration."

Shen Jie was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "You're right, I really want to go to a special hot spring to soak in the hot springs. It's just a fun embellishment. This embellishment is a bit interesting. Please show me around if you have nothing to do. look?"

"Let's go." Zhou Yu smiled and led Shen Jie out of the hall to the back yard. He slowly introduced Shen Jie: "The backyard of my store is next to the lake. When the weather is nice, you can fish and barbecue here. They all have special places. The lake here is quite clear and it’s okay to go swimming in the water in the summer, but the store definitely doesn’t support it and doesn’t allow it.”

"After all, you also know that if something happens to a customer while swimming, the store will be responsible."

"The artificial hot springs are built on the side of the mountain. There are only three dug pools. They are all separated by a certain distance from each other. There are shelters and greenery on both sides. Except for the side facing the lake, the inside cannot be seen in other directions. There are If necessary, the roof can be put up. If you want to use it, it will be fully open and fully reserved. We will wait and see the situation before making specific arrangements."

"It can't be seen from the outside." Shen Jie replied with a half-smile, and nodded lightly: "I also saw that the layout in the room is very good. I guess your place may become the first choice of many couples in the future. "

Zhou Yu Xiaoxiao did not answer this question, but continued: "This location has a good view. You can see the mountains and ancient town in the front, and you can see the lakes and rivers in the back. That's it."

Shen Jie was a little curious, "What's going on in the ancient town?"

Zhou Yu said: "There are actually quite a lot of ancient towns here. This one here is not particularly famous and many people may have never heard of it. Although there are many shops doing business now, it is not the kind of completely commercialized ancient town. It is still There are a lot of original things, it only takes ten minutes to walk from here, and there are also a lot of special snacks and so on.”

"The rice fish here is pretty good. The fish raised in the rice fields are used to make hot pot. The rice wine is also good. We can try it in the evening. There is also the kind of fish that just comes from the field and is eaten by just inserting a wooden stick into it." It’s roasted and paired with the special seasoning here. I don’t know if you’re used to it.”

Shen Jie seemed to be very interested: "Come here, I have to try it no matter what. Let's go to the ancient town together later."

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Yes, but it's a pity. There is a very clear river in the ancient town. When I came here before, there were many ducks and geese swimming in the river. Children can't even get into the water above their knees. It’s also fun to catch small crabs and fish with a net.”

Shen Jie chuckled: "What does it matter? I'll just come again when I have the chance. I must visit all these stores."

Zhou Yu laughed: "Of course I welcome you."

Shen Jie said: "By the way, I'll take some more photos of the football club and send them to you for a while. You have to let them come over to take care of your business in such a beautiful place."

"Just post it." Zhou Yu nodded lightly and said: "If someone really comes over then, I will definitely entertain them well and exempt them from discounts that should be exempted. Even if you say that our circle is particularly good, it won't be so. So those who have spare money must have a reliable salary to eat, and they are definitely the majority, and they may not necessarily like to spend the money on travel."

"I don't think there is any need to say that I must come. When the time comes, they actually come and it seems like I owe them a favor. After all, the round-trip air tickets are not cheap, right?"

Shen Jie glanced at Zhou Yu and nodded: "You're right, I feel like you've changed a lot since I haven't seen you in a long time."

"It's just that I'm not as naive as before." Zhou Yu shrugged his shoulders freely and said, "It's good now."

Zhou Yu just walked around with Shen Jie. After walking around, Shen Jie was really surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Yu to make the B&B so good.

Then he asked strangely: "Isn't it very expensive for you to do this? How much did you invest in this store?"

"I bought this land. It was remote and not very famous now, so the price is not too expensive. You should also notice that there are very few high-end B&Bs in the surrounding area."

"As for how much money was spent..." Zhou Yu's expression became a little strange when he said this, and he paused and said: "You will never believe that I invested almost three million in this store alone, and it only took half a year. time."

"Three million!?" Shen Jie was a little surprised when he heard it, but then he thought about it and said, "After going around just now, I thought it must not be cheap, but I didn't expect it to cost a lot."

Zhou Yu sighed: "I didn't expect that it would be easy to rebuild a simple general installation, but it happened to cost so much money in order to achieve better results. If I didn't do this, I felt a little bit worse. The current model is the last one." In the past month, we have intensified the decoration and added a lot of things. In addition to purchasing land, purchasing additional things and other expenses, the price is almost the same."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "When the renderings came out at first, they were great, but after I actually followed the renderings, they were pretty good but too monotonous. The gap was a bit different from what I expected. I might as well spend a little more money to strengthen it.”

"Three million for one store, eighteen million for six stores..." Shen Jie patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said, "Then you have to use up almost all the money you have. Do I still have some money?" Do you want me to give you an emergency first? I’ll tell you that you can use the money for the time being and then return it to me."

Zhou Yu quickly said to Shen Jie: "No, I have done some other things in the past six months and made some money, and I still have enough on hand to spend."

Shen Jie nodded: "Okay, if you need it, just tell me. I don't have much more now, but I can still get two to three million."

"Don't talk about me anymore." Zhou Yu asked, "How is the situation over there?"

Shen Jie waved his hands helplessly: "Stop talking."

Zhou Yu was stunned: "Loss?"

"Not really, I still made a profit." Shen Jie said helplessly: "The investment itself must have made a profit. You don't know how fast this brand has developed after I invested. Franchising and opening branches will be easy." In the past few months, there have been more than 100 people investing, which means the shares have been diluted a lot."

"Originally, it was said that we would get some bonuses during the Chinese New Year, but we all decided unanimously what bonuses we would get and quickly seize the market. I estimate that even if we can get dividends in this year or two, there will only be very little. It is equivalent to investing money here and watching. You have made money, but you can only put it on display. The benefits can be seen but not taken."

In the end, Shen Jie concluded with a puzzled expression: "We have assets but we don't have cash. Do you think it's strange or not?"

"Haha." Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard Shen Jie's words, and comforted: "This is normal during the development of a new brand. Now the more vigorously we develop, the greater the benefits will be. Next year, I believe next year You will definitely get dividends."

"Let me lend you some good words." Shen Jie shook his head and asked, "I heard during your meeting just now that business was pretty good?"

Zhou Yu snorted and said: "Calculated, the average number of room reservations from the fourth to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year is already half, and it will definitely increase in the future. It is impossible to have full rooms every day, but it should be about 70%."

As he said that, Zhou Yu himself did the math in his mind and said: "Only the room charges and the income of six stores in one day are about 70,000. By the fifteenth day, there should be a turnover of about 700,000, not counting the upfront payment." The daily operating cost of investment is calculated as 20%..."

Shen Jie didn't need Zhou Yu to calculate the figure, so Shen Jie said it first: "The cost is 140,000 and the turnover is 700,000. Doesn't the profit have to be 500,000?"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "This does not include employee wages. Five hundred thousand is definitely not available, but if you open six stores in a month, you will definitely make a lot of money."

"Let me calculate it for you. Based on the average daily booking rate of 50% in the whole store, if a hundred rooms are priced at 800, it will be a turnover of 40,000 per day, and 1.2 million per month. If the labor is added up, it will be 40,000. Fifty percent of the cost.”

Shen Jie took a breath of cold air. It was really cold. After all, the weather was cold: "Hey, that's 600,000 yuan, at least 7.2 million yuan a year? Is this business really that easy to do? But the cost is indeed high. In this case It will take more than two to three years for your investment of more than 10 million to be repaid."

Zhou Yu didn't think it mattered. The purpose of running this B&B hotel was to provide some living expenses and a stable income. Real money doesn't depend on this.

Zhou Yudao: "The hotel itself is also valuable. If the surrounding tourism becomes popular, the value will also increase. Building a good brand is also valuable. Authorizing people to go out to eat can also earn licensing fees. Moreover, investment can bring sustainable income. Then it It’s just earned.”

Shen Jie agreed with this point: "That's true."

After saying that, Shen Jie also took a good look at the hotel and showed a thoughtful expression: "Huan Shan, you said I could just join in and open two or three of his stores. Can you do it?"

"I think it's okay." Zhou Yu nodded, patted Shen Jie on the shoulder and said, "My opinion is that you sell the fireworks company as soon as possible and open two or three boutique B&Bs here."

"Of course, you can't expect to make a lot of money from this. If you make a lot of money, just wait and reap the income from your current investment. It's good to have some stable income every month to cover your living expenses."
