Chapter 389 Is it so profitable?
My grandpa felt right when he heard what my grandma said. He smiled and said, "That's true. I didn't expect that opening a canteen can be so profitable. It's much more profitable than going out to work."
My grandma His face lit up with joy: "No, I used to work so hard for a whole day and only made two yuan, but now I only made more than three yuan after selling for ten minutes."
He Xinghuan: " Didn’t you already know that you can make money by doing business? You can earn more from selling small fish than working part-time!”
Jiang Xia smiled: “Of course it’s more profitable to do business than to work, but you have to invest a lot of money in the early stage, and it’s possible that the business will not be good. You will lose money, but you won’t be able to open a canteen in school. There is a fixed customer base, so you don’t have to worry about it. It may be slower to get back the money, and it may not be possible to become prosperous, but it is definitely better than working part-time.”
Grandpa opened this small shop and paid a year's rent in one fell swoop. Including purchasing goods, ordering shelves, and decorating, the total cost was about a thousand yuan, which was not a lot.
The rent accounts for 400 yuan, and the rent costs 30 yuan a month, and it takes a year to pay, and a deposit of 50 yuan is required.
And not many people in this era can afford a thousand yuan to open a small shop.
My great-grandmother smiled and said: "I made more than three yuan in ten minutes. Isn't this still a lot of money? This is already a lot! We are satisfied."
My great-grandfather also said : "No, I'm satisfied too! There are still two recess periods this morning and one after school. This doesn't include the recess time in the afternoon. If you can earn three yuan every ten minutes, you can almost make it in one day. Earned twenty yuan.”
Jiang Xia: "A large number of students have already bought snacks just now, and there should be fewer and fewer people during the rest of the break. But I estimate that there will be more people in the afternoon before class."
Tai Grandpa smiled and said: "That's right, the children have two cents in their pockets. I guess I can’t wait to spend it right away!”
Grandma: “I’m satisfied with earning three to five yuan a day.”
“Yes, three to five yuan a day, I’m satisfied. I am satisfied.”
……
While talking, forty-five minutes passed quickly, and children ran into the canteen one after another.
The four of them were busy again. Strictly speaking, the three of them were busy again. Jiang Xia was sitting there. When a child came to her with something, she helped collect the money.
This time there were indeed not as many people as there were before class in the morning.
But there are quite a few, there are thirty or forty students in total.
The primary school in the town is larger than the primary school in the village. There are five classes, each class has about forty students, and there are six grades in total. The entire primary school has about 1,200 people. These more than 1,200 people represent the passenger flow. Although it is impossible for everyone to have pocket money every day, it is still very possible for two to three hundred children to have pocket money every day.
Many people in the town have higher incomes than those in the village, and are relatively more willing to give pocket money to their children.
This is why Jiang Xia suggested that Grandpa open a canteen in the town’s primary school instead of opening it in the village’s primary school.
Of course the primary school in the village can also make money, but there are only two classes for each grade in the village's primary school, so the passenger flow is reduced by more than half.
Anyway, the town is not far away. It only takes ten minutes to ride a bicycle home from school for dinner. The round trip only takes half an hour, and you can also take a nap.
In the ten minutes between classes, I sold more than two yuan, making about one yuan.
In the ten minutes of the second recess, there were fewer children coming to buy snacks, but there were still a dozen or so, and they sold them for more than 30 cents, making a profit of 20 cents.
It was time for school to end next. There were more students after school, and the entire canteen was soon crowded.
After about twenty minutes, the canteen was empty of students.
The four of them counted the money again and sorted out the goods. After school, they sold more than two yuan, making a profit of about one yuan and a half.
I made about six yuan in one morning.
Jiang Xia said: "Based on the sales this morning, I can earn about two hundred yuan a month. Because of the winter and summer vacations, it is estimated that it will take almost a year to get back the money." Grandma smiled and said: "That's great! The main thing is This job is easy and suitable for old people like us.”
Ten minutes of work and forty-five minutes of rest.
Of course, these forty-five minutes still require sweeping the floor, sorting the goods, and counting money, but compared with my great-grandfather building a house for others, these jobs are really easy jobs, and they make a lot more money.
The four of them packed up the shop and left the canteen to go out to eat.
When they arrived at the school gate, they met Li Xiuxian and Zhou Ying who were preparing to go home.
Zhou Ying saw Jiang Xia and shouted happily: "Little aunt!"
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, Yingying, school is out!"
Li Xiuxian looked at it One glance at Jiang Xia, she is very diligent when helping others!
She asked the couple to take her father and eldest brother out to sea, but she was not willing to wait for even an hour!
Grandma said with a smile: "Xiao Xian, we are getting ready to go out to eat together! The canteen is open today, let's go have a meal together?"
Li Xiuxian was about to inquire about the situation of the canteen and said with a smile: "The canteen is open today. It’s a good thing that it’s open, so I won’t be polite and go to cheer up.”
The canteen opened today. When she came to school early in the morning, she saw many students inside and outside the canteen.
She paid special attention to the canteen after each class and found that many students went to the canteen to buy food every time after class, and there were also many students after school.
Even Zhou Ying came to her office and asked her for money, saying she wanted to go to the canteen to buy food, but she didn't give it to her.
So many students go to the canteen to buy things, and they don’t know how much money they make.
Great Grandfather: "Why are you being polite? You're welcome! Let's go! Call Asen and let's go to the state-owned hotel to eat together."
Li Xiuxian: "He should eat in the canteen of the unit. Usually He always goes home after eating in the workplace canteen."
Zhou Chengsen has had a cold war with her recently and hasn't spoken to her for several days.
The grandma smiled and said: "Then let's go back to the village for dinner tonight, eat at our house, and have some fun together. Remember to call him back when the time comes."
Li Xiuxian thought this was an opportunity for reconciliation and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will go back and talk to him after dinner."
Then Li Xiuxian said again: "I saw many students going to the canteen this morning Shopping, business looks good, making a lot of money, right? "
My great grandfather was honest and said with a smile: "Haha, business is really good. I made about six yuan in one morning, which is much better than working outside."
Li Xiuxianyi. I was shocked to hear that I could actually make six yuan in one morning? Wouldn't you be able to earn more than ten yuan that day?
Can’t you make...two or three hundred yuan in a month?
This is more than the combined salary of the two of them!
Is it so profitable to open a canteen?
Li Xiuxian regrets it a bit!
If I had known that canteens were so profitable, when Jiang Xia suggested that she open a canteen, she would have asked her parents to open one too!
Li Xiuxian glanced at Jiang Xia.
Why didn't Jiang Xia say that he could earn so much?
