Chapter 102: Helping relatives and friends

Jiang Hongyi nodded and said, "I have calculated that the monthly turnover in our store is about 150,000, and the profit is about 40%, which is about 60,000. If this continues, we can recover the cost by about late November and start to enter the stage of full profit. Wait, I'll go and get the account book to show you."

"Forget it, don't look."

Chen Zhengqian stopped him, "I just want to ask about the accounts. Just keep them closed. The money issue should be distributed in proportion every month and transferred to their respective accounts. If it is yours, you should take it. Don't be polite to me. In addition, I suggest that you gain a foothold first and not rush to open a branch. After all, we have no experience in chain operations."

Jiang Hongyi deeply agrees that he is unable to manage a store now. After all, he has not learned management knowledge specifically, and he has been exploring it by relying on some of his previous experience working in a restaurant. Let’s slow down. Besides, he is quite easy to satisfy.

"By the way, where is Li Hehai?" Chen Zhengqian asked his uncle's cousin, and he gave him 15% of his shares and asked him to help him.

Jiang Hongyi hurriedly said: "He is helping in the kitchen. Because the business has improved a lot, I hired two more masters. Now there are four chefs in the kitchen, including me. But when it comes to lunch or afternoon, I still can't get busy and the business is good."

Chen Zhengqian nodded, found Li Hehai and said hello, then left Jiang Hongyi's hotel and drove to Wu Yi's campus fast food restaurant in the development zone.

If Jiang Hongyi's hotels take the mid-range route, then Wu Yi's campus fast food restaurants take the low-end route.

Breakfast is provided with buns, white porridge and pickles, and you can eat enough for three or five yuan; at noon and in the afternoon, it is a fast food that costs eight yuan per serving, two meats and one vegetable, and a tableware fee is added to the pack; in the evening, it is provided with supper such as stir-fried noodles, and the prices range from 2 to 10 yuan.

It was thanks to this low price, with students from several schools around and employees from factories around, and those who made small profits but quick turnovers, Wu Yi and his wife achieved a monthly profit of nearly 50,000 yuan.

When he called him, he couldn't hide his excitement. This man in his thirties was also very emotional. He didn't expect that as a junior high school worker, he even became a boss who earned 50,000 a month.

Because the business in the store is getting busy, he specially asked his cousin's daughter who no longer studies and another girl from the relatives to come to help, giving them 3,000 yuan a month to live in a room, which is much better than working in a factory outside.

Moreover, Wu Yi's mother, Chen Zhengqian's eldest aunt, also came to help. She helped pick up and drop off the children to school in the morning and evening, and helped collect and close dishes in the store at other times, washing dishes, etc., which is not a hard work.

If you let her rest, she is not happy.

When Chen Zhengqian first arrived at the store, just eleven o'clock, the eldest aunt went to pick up the two children and went out of school. Wu Yi and his wife had two little girls who helped, and they had already started preparing fast food for lunch. Plates of big pot of dishes were brought out from the kitchen, steaming hot.

The store looks quite clean and hygienic, and the layout is similar to the fast food restaurants around the school that Chen Zhengqian remembers.

This is also what Chen Zhengqian has always reminded that students nowadays have higher requirements for the eating environment. As long as the environment is clean and hygienic, they don’t care about spending one or two more yuan.

For this reason, Wu Yi specially installed an air conditioner in the store. As soon as he came, there were more students coming to the store for dinner. Most of the other stores were ceiling fans. It was a fatal loss without air conditioners in this weather. So every time it was time to have dinner, the store was crowded and too busy. He was considering whether to increase the number of people in the store.

Seeing Chen Zhengqian, Wu Yi came up with a smile and said with a smile: "Qianzi, you are here. Yesterday your dad came to our house and told me that you are back. I thought you were not available."

Chen Zhengqian's cousin saw him, so he smiled and said hello. He quickly took out a bottle of iced oranges from the refrigerator in the store and handed them over, asking Wu Yi to greet him and continue back to the kitchen to help.

Chen Zhengqian thanked him and said to Wu Yi with a smile: "I happened to have time today. I wondered if you are doing well Uncle Yi, so I came over to see if there is any place I need my help."

Wu Yi waved his hand and said, "The money you borrowed me last time is enough. Now the business in the store is very good. I am wondering if I will continue to recruit people."

"Then let's get it. It's only two or three thousand yuan a month. You and your cousin can be easier for multiple people. In the long run, the value created in this way is much more than two or three thousand." Chen Zhengqian sincerely suggested.

Wu Yi also smiled: "I think so too."

Wu Yi's niece looked at Chen Zhengqian who was talking to his uncle and was curious about who this person was. She looked not simple, but she seemed to be quite familiar with her uncle.

She asked the little aunt: "Auntie, who is that man?"

The little aunt thought she was moved by Chen Zhengqian, so she couldn't help but sigh and said, "Little sister, don't think too much. People are not something we can afford. Don't look at them young, but your uncle and aunt are not as busy as a fraction of others for the rest of their lives. So be more practical."

The little girl pouted and didn't say anything, but she became even more curious about Chen Zhengqian, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She thought to herself: "Can you be a rich second generation? She is fair and fair, and she has aura. She looks quite like that, but where did my uncle know such a person?"

She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought about it.

At this time, Wu Yi talked to Chen Zhengqian about the money he had borrowed before.

Wu Yi said: "Now the store has started to make money. In two months, when the store has sufficient funds, I will transfer the money to you. If you need money in a hurry, remember to tell me and I promise to get it all for you."

Chen Zhengqian waved his hand: "What are you talking about? Uncle Yi, you should keep it in the store first. I don't need these tens of thousands of dollars. You can keep it first. The children's daily food, clothing, and they also need to keep some working capital in the store. There is no need to worry about it. So you don't have to worry at all, don't be in a hurry!"

Wu Yi knew that he was helping him, so he was naturally even more grateful. He felt that lending money to his cousin was really an extremely wise decision. His wife complained that he was too generous and borrowing a few thousand dollars was too easy, and he was afraid that he would go but not return. Now he never dared to say a word anymore.

For Chen Zhengqian, as long as he is a relative at home and has a good relationship, he is willing to help him. After all, it is only his own family's business. But if he can help so many relatives on the road to prosperity, it will be a good thing and the impact will be even greater.

In ancient times, there were family clans, which used bloodlines as a bond to connect families together and formed a huge force to survive better. Although modern society is not as particular as in ancient times, blood ties are still very important, and relatives are all helping each other when they are in trouble.

Chen Zhengqian subconsciously regarded his relatives as his allies. If he could unite so many relatives with his own family as the center, even if this power is still very small now, who will know in the future?

Maybe in a few years, a group of millionaires will emerge from the family, and it is not impossible. Chen Zhengqian has this confidence.

By then, the Chen family will probably be considered strong in the entire Hecheng area. Even if someone wants to cause trouble, they have to consider whether they can make a move.

This is what Chen Zhengqian thinks: if you are poor, you will be safe, and if you are rich, you will be helpful to your relatives and friends.

He politely declined Wu Yi's request to keep him for dinner and said goodbye to Wu Yi's family. Chen Zhengqian drove back home, finished lunch, took a break, and then began to pack up his things.

At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I greeted my parents and grandparents and prepared to drive back to school.
