368: I'm afraid

Liu Gaoda huddled up, "Zi... Ziyong, don't look at me like that; I'm a little scared."

Qian Ziyong gave a wry smile, "You shouldn't be scared; I'm the one who should be scared!"

Qian Ziyong wished he could slap himself a few times.

He was truly a masochist!

Why did he transfer Liu Gaoda to logistics?

Qian Ziyong still couldn't believe it.

How did Feihuang Restaurant, which was losing money hand over fist, suddenly start making a profit?

Qian Ziyong looked at Liu Gaoda and asked, "Feihuang Restaurant is making money? Can the profit really reach half?"

"Is it possible that you're too optimistic, and the profit isn't actually that high?"

Liu Gaoda opened his mouth, about to speak, but Qian Ziyong stopped him, "I don't want to hear you talk; you're too annoying!"

"I'll call Ye Xiaoqin!"

Qian Ziyong now desperately hoped that all of this was fake, just a nightmare.

That Liu Gaoda and a few others were conspiring to deceive him.

Feihuang Restaurant was losing money just fine, and Ye Xiaoqin was his lucky star, always helping him lose money.

It should be fine!

Qian Ziyong dialed Ye Xiaoqin's number, put it on speaker, and placed the phone on the table.

"Boss!" Ye Xiaoqin exclaimed excitedly.

Qian Ziyong asked, "Liu Gaoda is with me now, and besides me, there are a few other big brothers here too."

"They're very curious about Feihuang Restaurant's business now. How is Feihuang Restaurant doing?"

"Has it turned losses into profits?"

Qian Ziyong prayed inwardly, hoping Ye Xiaoqin would tell him.

That it hadn't turned losses into profits and was still incurring huge losses.

Unfortunately, Qian Ziyong's prayers were useless.

Ye Xiaoqin excitedly said, "Boss, it's turned losses into profits, and we're making huge profits!"

"Boss, we've struck it rich, really struck it rich!"

"Thanks to your strategy, I shouldn't have doubted you. At first, I had some slight doubts about you."

"But as things gradually became clear, I realized what it means to strategize within a command tent and what constitutes a world-shattering plan."

Ye Xiaoqin was overjoyed.

Who knew that when she was losing millions a day, and over a hundred million a month, at Feihuang Restaurant, she would hide under her covers and cry?

Who could know how much psychological pressure she endured?

If it weren't for the boss's encouragement, she would have collapsed long ago!

Now that they've turned losses into profits and successfully gotten out of the red, she's crying tears of joy and is already jumping up and down with happiness.

There were no longer any words to express her admiration for Qian Ziyong.

He's truly amazing!

Qian Ziyong: "..."

He asked in a low voice, "How much money are we making a day now?"

Ye Xiaoqin said, "On average, each of our 500 stores can earn three thousand a day, which is about 1.5 million!"

"What? 1.5 million a day?" Qian Ziyong's heart almost stopped beating.

1.5 million a day?

That's over 10 million a week?

The key is that this is just the beginning.

The takeout industry often doesn't make much money at the start, but after it stabilizes, a tenfold increase is possible!

It's very possible to earn 100 million a week later on.

Facing the potential pressure of 100 million a week, Qian Ziyong felt like he was about to stop breathing.

Ye Xiaoqin continued, "Thanks to the boss for having me expand the stores, otherwise a lot of this immense traffic would have been wasted."

"If we couldn't handle this wave of traffic, we would suffer huge losses!"

"It's all thanks to the boss's brilliant decision to have me recruit and train people in advance, and to open the stores in advance, allowing us to quickly capture a large share of the takeout market in Shen City as soon as we became popular!"

Even now, Qian Ziyong still couldn't accept the facts.

How could a business that even immortals couldn't save suddenly start making money?

And so much of it?

Qian Ziyong countered, "I made every customer who orders from Phoenix Restaurant Takeout spend 200 yuan to buy tableware. Don't they have any objections?"

He had set many traps for Feihuang Restaurant.

First was the tableware fee, then the lack of dine-in service, which was not conducive to promotion, and finally the low price of the dishes, meaning even if they sold well, they wouldn't make money.

With so many traps, and all of them huge, how did it still make money?

Ye Xiaoqin said, "Boss, the customers have no objections at all."

"This is all thanks to the dishwasher the boss bought."

"After customers learned that we use a 400,000 yuan dishwasher, they had no objections to spending 200 yuan to buy tableware."

"Many customers even said that only tableware costing 100 yuan per set is worthy of such a high-end dishwasher."

"Now, online, the 200 yuan tableware fee is not seen as expensive, but rather people say that our Feihuang has a conscience and isn't making money off them on the tableware."

"Instead, we're spending our own money to buy such a good dishwasher. No other restaurant is as excellent as our Feihuang!"

Qian Ziyong felt speechless.

How could this be?

Customers don't mind paying an extra 200 yuan?

Chen Jingfu, who was beside him, smiled and said, "Qian Ziyong's decision is truly brilliant!"

"This is Shen City. The average worker in Shen City earns at least 4,000 yuan a month. If they can eat well and healthily, who cares about 200 yuan?"

"And this 200 yuan threshold fee is equivalent to customers becoming members here, which can give customers a very strong loyalty to Feihuang Restaurant."

"Plus, if they don't use the tableware for a few days, a storage fee will be charged, so customers will order takeout from time to time."

"As long as they order a few more times, customers will get used to ordering from Phoenix Restaurant Takeout. This is more brilliant than any other method."

"Ziyong, your strategy, hitting three birds with one stone, is truly brilliant!"

Zhao Kaixuan interjected from the side, "It's as tall as an eighty-story building!"

Qian Ziyong said, "I have a fear of heights."

Liu Gaoda burst out laughing, "Ziyong, you're getting funnier and funnier."

Qian Ziyong was in a very bad mood and ignored Liu Gaoda, continuing to ask, "Then, our Feihuang Restaurant has no dine-in service. Don't customers have any objections?"

Ye Xiaoqin excitedly said, "Boss, it's brilliant that you didn't set up dine-in service!"

"Initially, I couldn't understand why, even though we had a glass display window where customers could directly see the chefs cooking in the kitchen, and such good conditions."

"Why did we give up these advantages and only do takeout, not dine-in."

"It wasn't until Feihuang Restaurant truly became popular that I realized the brilliance of doing it this way."

"Feihuang Restaurant is too popular now. If we had dine-in service, we wouldn't be able to handle it at all."

"And even if we hired enough people to handle it, it would still be a losing business."

"After all, if we had dine-in service, we couldn't open stores in more secluded locations."

"And those high-traffic locations, besides expensive rent, might not even have suitable spaces available."

"Not having dine-in service eliminates so many considerations. In Shen City, we can rent cheap and large locations anywhere."

"We need space for dishwashers, for customers' tableware storage, and a large area to pack customers' orders."

"Only in more secluded places can we rent suitable locations and store customers' tableware after the business becomes popular!"

"Boss, you are truly brilliant."

"One shouldn't want everything, but rather grasp what's most important, give up what's secondary; only by sacrificing some things can a business grow large."

"Boss, I've learned a lot!"
