In this era of scarcity, ordinary people are basically very frugal in their lives. They save when they can, don’t spend when they can, and take what is from the public when they can...
That’s why , Chu Heng had no intention of letting the guest house take a high-end route, because there was no market for it at all.
His positioning of the guest house from the beginning was to be cost-effective and make small profits but quick turnover.
At a cheaper price than other places, you can enjoy better quality products, which makes customers feel that they are worth the money and affordable, and this feature attracts more customers.
Commonly known as, industry involution.
...
The busy day passed quickly, and it was eight o'clock at night in the blink of an eye. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the bright white moonlight enveloped the ancient Sijiu City, making it peaceful and peaceful.
In the guest house, the bathhouse has been closed, and the staff on duty are cleaning the pool. The last table of guests in the restaurant has also been sent away, and several waiters are busy cleaning.
Finance room on the fourth floor.
Chu Heng and Qiu Rong were sitting on chairs chatting and laughing. At the desk next to them, the accountant was quickly fiddling with the abacus beads.
Not long passed.
The accountant stopped and the room suddenly became quiet. Chu Heng and Qiu Rong turned their heads and looked over at the same time.
"Okay, after excluding the expenses, today's net profit is 432 yuan and 86 cents!" The accountant adjusted his glasses and said with a smile.
“Not bad!”
Chu Heng smiled with satisfaction.
"The preparations we made were not in vain!" Qiu Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's go back early and have a good rest. I will be even busier tomorrow."
Chu Heng patted his butt and got up and left the finance room. After a busy day, he also I was very tired, so I fell asleep when I got home and let Xiao Ni eat from the buffet.
In the next few days, the guesthouse had a good start. With the blessing of publicity and the support of customers who had experienced it, the business became more and more prosperous, and the turnover was also steady. rise.
As for the hotel, because Chu Heng has already said hello to the hotel introduction office and the attraction of the posters, the rooms are basically not empty. As long as there are vacancies, someone will check in within two hours at most.
Not to mention the bathhouse, business is quite booming.
For ordinary people who have to calculate and spend even a penny, its price, which is three cents cheaper than other bathhouses, is simply a killer, attracting many people who like to be budget-conscious. guest.
And while attracting low-end customers, a lot of mid-to-high-end customers who have a little bit of money or are not short of money are also attracted.
After taking a bath here, you can get a pedicure, watch a movie afterward, and fall asleep when you feel sleepy. If you are hungry, you can order food directly downstairs and have it delivered to you. It is really a good place to relax and enjoy.
However, compared with these two, the restaurant's business seems to be poor.
Going out to restaurants these days costs a lot of money, so most people usually choose familiar restaurants when going out to eat because the taste is guaranteed.
So, if a restaurant wants to have a prosperous business, it needs time to accumulate. It is impossible to achieve success overnight.
Fortunately, chef Ma Hua’s skills are not bad, and the prices of the dishes are affordable. The number of guests in the restaurant is increasing little by little every day, and there are still many repeat customers.
It is worth mentioning that the plain lion heads given out three days before the guest house opened have already become famous.
This stuff tastes good, and it only costs a dime each. It is not expensive and is very popular among the people.
After eating, many people will come over from time to time to buy one and take it home to satisfy their children's cravings, or to eat it with wine.
Even now, this plain lion head has gradually become a sign of the guest house. So in general, the guest house built by Chu Heng has established a firm foothold in Sijiu City, and it is at the peak of its debut.
This not only relieved the account owners who were holding the IOUs from the Sixth District Grain Management Bureau.
And for the prosperity of the guest house.
Some people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also expressed their admiration again.
The God of Wealth is the God of Wealth, and he is really good at making money!
At the same time, it also made them look forward to the winery project that was being brewed, and they didn’t know how much foreign exchange this man could earn.
…………
While Chu Heng was busy with things at the guest house, the first Harry Potter book he picked up at random went through a series of expedited processes. After the special deal, it’s time to release it.
Because most editors at Blue Oak have always been optimistic about it, Chrissy, who has always been stingy, directly placed a large bet on this book this time, with an initial printing of 50,000 copies.
You must know that most new writers start with a thousand or a few thousand to test the water. Even some well-known writers do not have this treatment, so it is enough to see that Chrissy is very interested in this book. How promising it is.
“Our Blue Oak’s opportunity to turn around lies in this book!”
These are Chrissy’s original words.
Since he made a big bet on the Harry Potter book, this book has been given a different meaning. It has become a sign and an advertisement. If it can sell well, Even if it is popular, it will inevitably attract the attention of many new writers.
Because they saw from the Harry Potter book Blue Oak’s support and emphasis on new writers, and also saw Blue Oak’s courage.
This morning, the morning light was faint and the breeze was not dry.
Old White, who once enjoyed a wave of dividends from Evemar's Diary in Blue Oak, drove a newly-replaced second-hand Ford pickup truck to his loyal White Bookstore.
Compared with last year, this old bookstore has not changed much. The front door is dilapidated and the locks are rusty, exuding an atmosphere of antiquity and decay.
“Bump!”
After getting off the pickup truck, Old White, who had just brought a lot of new books from the bookseller, held the burger he bought on the road and ate it leisurely.
He looked at the old bookstore in front of him that had been with him for many years, and instantly fell into memories. Then he couldn't help but sigh for a while, and then his eyes fell on the picture posted on the window. Poster for Harry Potter Part 1.
A little boy wearing round lenses is flying in the sky on a broomstick. The background is a magnificent castle. The overall tone is gray, giving people a mysterious and depressing feeling.
"Wow!"
He took out the newspaper that was stuffed into his butt pocket and unfolded it. There was a report about the first Harry Potter, and the content was full of praise.
“With so much publicity, I don’t know how this book is going to be.”
Old White muttered, stuffed the burgers in his mouth into his mouth, then put away the newspaper, took out the key, and stepped forward to open the shop. Open the door and start moving books from the bed of the pickup truck into the house.
After all the books were moved in, he began to organize the bookshelves, first putting away some unused books, and then placing new books.
After working for more than an hour, Old White arranged the bookshelf and made a cup of coffee as usual. He returned to the bookshelf with the coffee and glanced at the pile of Harry Potter in the most eye-catching position. The first one, driven by curiosity, took out a copy and returned to the counter to read it.
“Hey! This book is pretty good.”
After reading it for a while, Old White, who has rich reading experience, was attracted by the content, settings, and writing techniques of the book. He even had a vague hunch that this book is likely to become a bestseller this year!
