28: You just need to mix the wages

“Alright then!” Liu Gaoda was worried.

This way, the Hot Pot Restaurant’s costs would be too high.

However… this was arranged by Qian Ziyong, so he must have a deeper meaning.

Zhu Daqiang saw the worry in Liu Gaoda’s heart, patted his shoulder, and gave him a reassuring look: “Don’t worry, listening to the boss is never wrong!”

“How can the boss’s wisdom be understood by mere mortals like us?”

Liu Gaoda thought that made sense: “Hmm!”

“You’re absolutely right, listening to Ziyong is definitely not wrong!”

“Li Lian even said that the boss is a capable person, and his assets will definitely exceed ten billion in the future!”

“I still shouldn't disrupt the boss’s plan; I should just focus on doing my own job well!”

…

This hot pot meal was very comfortable.

What was even more comfortable was that after eating hot pot, Qian Ziyong returned to his boss’s exclusive room and leisurely browsed villas online.

He was definitely going to earn fifty million; no one could stop him!

He added villas to his shopping cart, and luxury cars too. Once the fifty million arrived, he would immediately go to view houses and cars.

However, there were so many luxury cars and mansions that he was momentarily overwhelmed.

Qian Ziyong had a new worry.

He didn't know which luxury mansion to buy.

He liked villas, and he liked large flats too.

He liked sports cars, and he liked comfortable business cars too!

Qian Ziyong had a new worry, and his mind was constantly thinking about what kind of house and car he should buy.

However, in the afternoon, he went to the Hot Pot Restaurant again for a meal and saw that there were no customers. Qian Ziyong immediately cast his worries aside, beaming with joy.

It’s stable!

Eating hot pot in the middle of summer, who came up with such a brilliant idea?

Plus, the Hot Pot Restaurant’s prices were extremely high.

And he deliberately didn't give the Hot Pot Restaurant any advertising budget, so no one knew his Hot Pot Restaurant was open. Who would patronize it?

It’s stable, truly stable this time, more stable than Mount Tai!

Qian Ziyong ate a meal at the Hot Pot Restaurant and was smiling all day long.

When he slept at night, Qian Ziyong woke up laughing from a dream.

He got up to use the restroom, then continued his sweet dreams.

This life was truly comfortable. The Hot Pot Restaurant opened, solving his money-losing problem and his eating problem.

So refreshing!

…

The next day, Qian Ziyong was just as happy.

The closer it got to the three-month deadline, the more excited he became.

He was about to become a fifty-millionaire.

At lunchtime, Qian Ziyong arrived at the Hot Pot Restaurant and was welcomed in by the employees.

“Boss!” Everyone happily greeted Qian Ziyong.

Qian Ziyong also responded very happily.

There were many people inside the Hot Pot Restaurant, all his employees.

The supermarket had a thousand employees, all of whom could eat for free at the Hot Pot Restaurant, so it was naturally packed at meal times.

“Everyone, eat and drink well, eat more!” Qian Ziyong said with a chuckle.

Watching everyone help him lose money, Qian Ziyong felt incredibly comfortable.

Qian Ziyong’s genuine smile was very infectious.

Originally, some supermarket employees wondered if their consumption here, with the supermarket losing money, would cause the boss to lose even more.

Although the boss was very good and provided them with full benefits.

But would the boss say one thing on the surface but think another in his heart?

Now, seeing the sincere smile on the boss’s face, all their worries vanished.

The boss truly wanted them to eat hot pot for free!

“So many people, I’ll definitely lose a lot today!” Qian Ziyong was secretly delighted and ate the hot pot with even more vigor.

Since the employees were helping him so much, as the boss, he naturally had to lead by example!

…

The day passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the evening reconciliation.

Liu Gaoda nervously rubbed his hands in front of the cashier, while Qian Ziyong happily drank his beverage.

The cashier quickly printed out the day’s revenue.

Liu Gaoda stared at the Hot Pot Restaurant’s revenue, completely stunned.

“How is this possible?” Liu Gaoda’s eyes widened.

Seeing Liu Gaoda so surprised, Qian Ziyong curiously looked at the revenue and laughed: “Such a big Hot Pot Restaurant, only one table a day, haha!”

“Ziyong, I can’t believe you’re still laughing.” Liu Gaoda’s face was grim.

He knew business might not be good, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.

“Of course I’m happy.” Qian Ziyong asked curiously, “But I don’t know why you’re unhappy.”

Liu Gaoda said: “The Hot Pot Restaurant is almost losing its pants, of course I’m not happy.”

Qian Ziyong asked: “Do you get a commission if the Hot Pot Restaurant’s business is good?”

Liu Gaoda shook his head: “No.”

Qian Ziyong: “If the Hot Pot Restaurant’s business is bad, will I not pay your salary?”

Liu Gaoda shook his head: “No.”

He understood Qian Ziyong; Ziyong always kept his word and never broke a promise.

Qian Ziyong laughed: “You’re just Working; just do what you’re supposed to do and get your monthly salary.”

“What does the Hot Pot Restaurant’s business, good or bad, have to do with you?”

“That’s right!” Liu Gaoda felt it made a lot of sense.

“No.” Liu Gaoda jumped up and scrutinized Qian Ziyong up and down.

“Buddy, if someone else told me this, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.”

“But you’re the boss of the Hot Pot Restaurant!”

“Shouldn’t a boss make employees work themselves to death, work hard, and create maximum profit?”

One should know that there were employees all around, and Qian Ziyong wasn't saying this to him in private.

The surrounding employees were also very curious; the Hot Pot Restaurant’s business was bad, but Qian Ziyong didn’t seem worried at all, nor did he show any sadness.

Instead, he seemed… very happy?

Was this their illusion?

“Working, if you take it seriously, you lose!” Qian Ziyong waved his hand and said.

“And I don’t want extreme profits at all. To me, creating value for society is my greatest value as Qian Ziyong.”

He really couldn’t make it up anymore.

He patted Liu Gaoda’s shoulder and said: “In short, it’s fine if business is bad! The Hot Pot Restaurant’s business is under my control, so don’t worry!”

“The Hot Pot Restaurant won’t close down; it will keep running, and I’ll open many more branches!”

“Gaoda, you, as the Hot Pot Restaurant manager, must work for me for at least ten years.”

“When you gain more experience and become more capable, I’ll give you a raise!”

“Alright, let’s not talk about these things anymore. In short, nothing in the Hot Pot Restaurant should change; just operate in the current manner!”

Qian Ziyong repeatedly emphasized that no matter what happened, the Hot Pot Restaurant must continue to operate this way, and his strategy absolutely could not be changed.

“Alright.” Liu Gaoda nodded.

Qian Ziyong laughed: “The Hot Pot Restaurant is in your hands.”

“There are too many people in the Hot Pot Restaurant. When I eat here, they seem a bit restrained.”

“How about this, every day at noon and in the afternoon, send a portion of hot pot to the office.”

“Oh, and be sure to prepare more meat for me.”

When he was in the restaurant, the employees were a bit constrained and couldn’t even eat meat freely.

How could this be?

If the employees didn’t eat meat and only ate vegetables, how much money could he lose?

For the sake of his great money-losing endeavor, Qian Ziyong decided to eat hot pot alone in his office.

Sigh… for his great money-losing endeavor, his sacrifice was a bit big!
