The next day, Guo Yi and his wife came over. As soon as they entered the store, Guo Yi walked back and forth, looked inside and outside, and smiled at Tang Hai who was busy in front of the barbecue grill, "Okay, the location here is good. If the rent is not expensive, there will be a problem."

Tang Hai was sprinkling seasonings on the beef skewers that had been grilled, and he replied, "It's okay, it's 7,000 yuan a month."

Guo Yi's smile froze, "You still rent it if you are so expensive?"

Tang Hai picked up the beef skewers, took a bite, frowned, and threw them into the trash can, "It's too baked again." While untiing his apron, he explained, "It's a little expensive, but the location is good, so it's not a loss."

He pulled Guo Yi down, poured a glass of water for the two of them, and said, "We are familiar with each other, but brothers, let's settle the score clearly. Let's make the treatment first."

Before they could speak, they said, "Guo Zi is the chef of our store. He earns 10,000 yuan a month and gets 10% of the dividends. My sister-in-law works hard and is responsible for placing orders and delivering vegetables, five thousand a month..."

This is a plan he had already thought of. As soon as he spoke, Guo Yi left his stall without saying a word and came to help him. You must know that Guo Yi is not alone, he has a wife and children, and wants to support his family. He is willing to work with him. What a great trust.

Therefore, he could not let Guo Yi suffer any loss no matter what.

"etc!"

Guo Yi could no longer help but interrupted him, "What do you earn by giving us such a high salary? Good guy, the rent is 7,000 yuan, the salary is 15,000 yuan, and the water and electricity are mixed, and the monthly expenses are over 25,000 yuan."

"Dahai, you have never done business, so you take it for granted. I'll calculate it for you. Suppose that a skewer of barbecue is sold for five yuan, and you can earn three yuan if you lose money in a month. A month, you have to sell at least more than 8,000 skewers of barbecue to avoid losing money. Three hundred skewers a day.

Barbecue restaurants are different from other restaurants. No one will eat barbecue as a meal. The sales volume cannot be compared with the restaurants that make the main meals. This is why I haven’t rented a store for a long time. This is why I’m not going to lose money if I do something like you.”

Tang Hai listened to his analysis very carefully and nodded, "Guo Zi, you made a lot of sense. Actually, I have considered all these. If I don't have any confidence, I dare not take out the money and waste it. Wait a minute, I'll show you something."

When Tang Hai came over with a bottle filled with seasonings, Guo Yi smelled it and said strangely, "What is this."

Tang Hai looked mysterious and whispered, "This is my killer weapon, a secret recipe. The only one in the world."

"What can this thing do?" Guo Yi looked at the inconspicuous little bottle in his hand suspiciously.

"You can tell if you try it."

A few minutes later, Guo Yi baked a skewer of beef skewers with a secret recipe. He smelled the unique fragrance and couldn't help swallowing his saliva and bite a piece. His eyes lit up and he praised, "The taste is really special."

He finished the whole skewer of barbecue in two bites, but he was still a little unsatisfied. He clapped his hands and said, "With you this secret recipe, maybe it's really a bit of a problem."

After studying for a day, the two decided to launch three types of beef skewers, lamb skewers and chicken wings, which were priced at 5 yuan for meat skewers and 10 yuan for chicken wings. In order to gain fame, Tang Hai planned to use real ingredients to buy fresh meat that day. This would take a lot of time just by cutting it into diced meat and then skewers.

Everything was ready, and Tang Hai was ambitiously preparing to open. A few days ago, he visited Hanpin's Triumph Restaurant and barbecue was selling very well. This gave him great confidence that his barbecue restaurant would definitely be very popular.

———

The Sihai Barbecue Restaurant opened in a low-key manner. Tang Hai didn't have a penny left in his pocket, did not advertise or bought a flower basket, so he put a piece of red paper on the door, which said it was a good time to open.

On the first day of opening, there were not many customers. When the door closed at night, they sold 70 skewers of meat and more than a dozen chicken wings. With drinks and beer, the total flow of water for a day was 749 yuan, which was far from enough to make a profit.

But Tang Hai was not discouraged, after all, it was just the first day.

In the following days, the situation improved slightly, and there were many repeat customers, and the daily turnover also increased, eight hundred and nine hundred, and on the fifth day, it finally exceeded one thousand.

The first profit was achieved on the first Sunday, with a turnover of up to 2,000. After the closing, Tang Hai and Guo Yi had a happy drink.

Unfortunately, the next day, it fell back again on Monday, becoming more than 1,200. The following days were about the same, and it grew slowly, and it stabilized around 1,500.

"Sea, come and have a drink."

After closing that night, after the accounts were settled, Guo Yi stopped Tang Hai. He made some side dishes and the two of them started drinking.

"Why are you worried about your business?"

After drinking two drinks, Guo Yi opened the conversation, "Actually, don't be too anxious. Doing this industry depends on reputation. Especially for those who are not famous like us. It is normal to lose a little at the beginning. After a long time, when the fame is opened, the business will naturally get better and better."

"To be honest, our store didn't do much publicity. I was really surprised that so many people came to visit when they opened."

Tang Hai smiled and didn't say anything.

After half a month, overall, he was in a loss state. At this time, he began to feel unsure. After all, it was his first time doing business. This time it was a new attempt for him.

He loses the tens of thousands of dollars, and the key is that the store cannot be operated. Isn’t that just cheating Guo Yi?

He has been reflecting these days that he is a little too confident. Seeing that the Xiangpu barbecue launched by Hanpin's Kaixuan Restaurant is so popular, he thought that he would be equally popular if he opened a barbecue restaurant.

As it turns out, doing business is not that simple.

No matter what, he had to do things with all the beginning and end, but he decided to hold on. If it really didn't work, he asked his brother for money. The facts made him mentally prepared to lose for half a year.

In fact, he himself understood that Xiangpu powder is not something that can be addictive, but what he eats is fresh. After a long time, freshness is over, what is the difference between it and the ordinary spices on the market?

Guo Yi pondered, "Dahai, I have discussed with my wife. We really can't get such a high salary as you."

This time, Tang Hai did not refute. He knew that Guo Yi had a strong sense of self-esteem. If he persisted, he would break up if he couldn't do it well. He asked, "How much do you think is appropriate?"

"It's enough for us, our parents-in-law, to work together, to be seven thousand."

"OK."

Tang Hai agreed very happily, "But, this store must be considered as our partnership, you account for 40% of it."

Guo Yi flatly rejected it, "Then I will take advantage of you, at most 20%."

"30%. No more refusal."

Guo Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.

The two of them decided to do so. After talking about the main business, they continued to drink.

In this way, Tang Hai's pressure was greatly reduced by 8,000 yuan. According to the current business, he could barely evenly pay. Of course, Guo Yi suffered a big loss. From the current perspective, it was really far away to make up for the loss of wages by dividends.

He will remember this favor in his heart.
