Earn 100 million yuan in real money!
Xu Ning was sincerely happy for Yu Qiang, after all, such a good teacher deserved even better development.
However, this time Yu Qiang called Xu Ning more because the school leaders and department leaders wanted to see Xu Ning.
After all, donating so much to the school at once, and still being a real current student, it would be strange if the school remained indifferent.
“Good child!”
“You haven't let down the school's cultivation!”
“The school will surely be proud of you in the future!”
“You should have already graduated by the time of the school anniversary, don't forget to come back to your alma mater to visit then!”
Principal Zhang warmly held Xu Ning's hand and said with emotion.
He was already nearing retirement age, and his ambition for further advancement had long faded; he had wholeheartedly dedicated himself to the school, hoping to elevate it to a higher level before his retirement.
And Xu Ning's appearance made him very pleased.
“Now I am proud of the school, and in the future, the school will be proud of me!” — This is definitely not an empty promise!
If he didn't have an extremely strong sense of belonging and deep affection for the school, how could he donate 60 million to the school with one move?
This made Principal Zhang feel that the school's teaching philosophy was successful and had not cultivated a group of ungrateful people.
Next, several other key school leaders and department leaders also praised and encouraged Xu Ning.
Interestingly, several professors later approached Xu Ning with their research projects to solicit sponsorship, which truly made him feel a bit exasperated.
By the time he returned to his dorm room, it was almost noon.
He brought a few meals from the cafeteria back to the dorm, rescuing his three brothers who were battling it out in a game.
After the meal, Xu Ning diligently began working on his graduation project.
Although the department head had subtly indicated to him that his graduation project could simply be a formality, and even the title of outstanding graduate could be internally decided for him, he still wanted to put a perfect end to his university life.
His graduation project absolutely could not be sloppy.
After all, the system might provide him with various ways to make money later, but once he left school, he would truly no longer have the opportunity to work on a graduation project.
In the afternoon, Xu Ning went to the kindergarten to pick up Xiao Dong and took Xiao Dong back to their Residential Complex to wait for Xiao Dong's parents to return.
Today was the last day of their agreement, not only because tomorrow was the weekend, but also because Xiao Dong's mother was returning from her business trip that evening.
“Brother, you've worked hard this week!”
“Xiao Dong really likes you, he's actually a bit reluctant to see you go.”
Xiao Dong’s father pulled Xiao Dong close, speaking with considerable emotion.
Xiao Dong also held Xu Ning's hand at this time, looking as if he didn't want Xu Ning to leave.
Xu Ning patted Xiao Dong's hair, then squatted down and smiled, extending his hand to him.
“Remember our promise, you must keep the Autobots' secret!”
“Brother and the Autobots both believe you can do it!”
Xiao Dong nodded seriously, his small face showing an incredibly solemn expression, and he extended his hand to pinky swear with Xu Ning.
“Brother, here is the remaining 500 yuan.”
“Although I know you probably don't care, this was decided when we started.”
“Please take it!”
Xiao Dong's father handed the money to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning accepted it without hesitation and thanked him!
Who said I don't care?
I care very much!
What might seem like an insignificant 500 yuan to you is a Koenigsegg One to me!
The system's prompt sounded in his mind at the opportune moment, making Xu Ning's lips curl slightly.
It could be said that, apart from the old man who compensated him 1500 and allowed him to earn 150 million, Xiao Dong's parents were the ones who made him the most money.
Picking up and taking care of Xiao Dong for a week, in exchange for a return of 100 million, seemed to be the most cost-effective way to make money, more profitable than ordinary designated driving.
Although in their eyes, his designated driving might have been a rich Young Master experiencing life, they couldn't give him a return commensurate with his status.
But he had genuinely earned 100 million from them.
So, next month, when Xiao Dong's birthday comes around, he must give Xiao Dong a decent birthday present.
Moreover, Xiao Dong's parents are nice people, so there's no harm in befriending them.
Besides, he still doesn't know what the future money-making methods will be; perhaps there's still a chance to make a fortune using those methods on them!
After bidding farewell to Xiao Dong's family, Xu Ning was too lazy to return to the dorm and went to the restaurant early.
Just in time, the dinner rush hadn't started yet, so Manager Liu took this opportunity to report to Xu Ning on the operating situation of Lis Private Kitchen over the past week.
It had been exactly one week since he bought Lis Private Kitchen until today.
Although Xu Ning was in the store almost every day, he hadn't actually inquired about the specifics.
“Young Master Xu, this week’s revenue was 647,860 yuan.”
“Because there was a day when the water was cut off and we didn't operate, otherwise the revenue should have reached 750,000 yuan.”
“Our store’s gross profit is around 65%, and after deducting labor, utilities, and so on, the net profit can still reach about 45%!”
Xu Ning blinked, doing a rough calculation, and was surprised to find that this week's net profit was nearly 300,000 yuan, and this was even with the restaurant closed for one day.
If calculated this way, wouldn't the monthly net profit reach 1.35 million?
And for a year, 16 million?
He didn't know until he calculated it, and it was quite a shock!
Xu Ning certainly knew Lis Private Kitchen was profitable, but he didn't expect it to be so profitable!
You know, he only spent 42 million to buy Lis Private Kitchen; at this rate of profit, it would break even in three years!
Thinking about it now, if he hadn't bought it through the system, he probably wouldn't have been able to buy such a cash cow from the original owner!
You can't compare high-end dining with fast-moving consumer goods.
Franchising bubble tea and similar businesses often promise to break even in one or two years, seemingly with higher profit margins.
But those are small businesses, completely not in the same league as traditional dining like Lis Private Kitchen.
Not to mention that when Xu Ning bought Lis Private Kitchen, he also bought the property, so breaking even means he would have earned back the cost of the property as well.
Just thinking about it feels exaggerated!
“Keep up the good work, and maintain it well!”
“Perhaps next month I won't be in the store, so it will still depend on the efforts of you and all the employees.”
“This month, take an additional 100,000 from the profits as a bonus, distributed proportionally to all employees.”
“Then, tell everyone that as long as they work hard, everyone will receive the highest standard bonus in the industry at the end of the year!”
Xu Ning said with a smile to Manager Liu.
Manager Liu didn't expect that his impromptu decision to report on work would bring a 100,000 yuan bonus to all employees!
You know, the entire Lis Private Kitchen only has fewer than 60 employees.
Distributed, each person could receive nearly 2,000 yuan on average!
For a working person, this cannot be considered a small sum.
And just as Manager Liu was excitedly preparing to thank Xu Ning on behalf of all employees, two youthful and beautiful girls walked in through the restaurant door.
Xu Ning recognized both girls at a glance.
One was his ex-girlfriend Wang Yingying, and the other was Wang Yingying's best friend, Jing Yunting, who was also studying acting at the art academy.
The two girls also saw Xu Ning, their expressions constantly changing.
