Chapter 196 Goodbye Xiao Ya
After Chen Feng drove on the highway, he received the message from Wu Mengting. After knowing that she had just set off, he did not need to speed up.
We arrived at the first high-speed service area, and not long after waiting, Wu Mengting also arrived.
Both of them decided to take a rest in the service area first.
Wu Mengting bought a cup of milk tea, and Chen Feng bought pure water.
The two of them were sitting on an open-air bench next to the parking lot.
Wu Mengting asked seemingly casually: "I plan to find a part-time job when I return to Xiuzhou this time. What suggestions do you have?"
Chen Feng said strangely: "Is this necessary? You As long as you code with peace of mind, I believe you will make a lot of money. If you have time for a part-time job, it is better to code more and update more.”
“I was not very satisfied with the beginning of my new book. Now I'm still sitting on my hands and feet. . So, let’s find a part-time job to supplement it. When the new book comes out, I may not be able to work part-time.”
After thinking about it, Chen Feng said, “How about you become my assistant.” Now there are two investments, one is an investment in Mengyao's cosmetics company, and the other is an investment in a milk tea shop in Xiuzhou. There are also two shops, as you know, one here in Xiuzhou and one on Longhua Road. One room on the side.
It would be more cumbersome and troublesome for me to manage these myself. What's more, I am now a full-time stock trader and have some health issues. Being entangled with these trivial matters will affect my energy. Therefore, I really need a trustworthy person around me to help me take care of these trivial matters. If you become my assistant, I will give you a salary of 10,000 yuan per month, plus food and accommodation, how about that? "
Wu Mengting asked in surprise: "When did you invest in a milk tea shop? Why haven't I heard you talk about it? "
Chen Fengxin said that I have to tell you everything?
However, Chen Feng still explained frankly: "This milk tea shop is a lover I had before. I told you about it, but I broke up with her later, but I promised to help her invest in a milk tea shop, so I kept my promise and invested. "
Wu Mengting did not expect to get such an answer. After being stunned for a moment, she asked with complicated eyes: "Then how much money did you invest in her? How many shares? ”
Chen Feng didn't hide anything, and told the answer: "I invested 500,000, accounting for 40% of the shares."
"How much does she own? How much did she invest?" Wu Mengting continued to ask.
Chen Feng was a little embarrassed, but in the end he told the truth: "She is 200,000, 60% of the shares."
Wu Mengting couldn't help but look at him strangely, and sighed: "You are so supportive of you. The women are really nice.”
“That’s right,” Chen Feng said with a smile, “They are good to me after all. However, I will definitely not treat them badly. However, the reason why I gave her so many shares in the milk tea shop is mainly because of her personal ability. She comes from an ordinary family, but she is very motivated and hard-working. , knows how to operate. I am optimistic that she can do a good job in this milk tea shop.”
Wu Mengting chuckled twice, obviously not believing what he said.
Chen Feng continued to ask: "How do you feel about being my assistant? You don't have to clock in and report to work every day. You just need to be there when I need you."
"Available at any time, including at night?" Wu Mengting asked with a smile.
"No. Just during the day." Chen Feng quickly explained, "Your job content is also very simple. It is to help me manage and take care of my personal investments and other trivial matters in life. You are considered my financial assistant. Let's talk to the life assistant. It may be a little tiring sometimes. For example, I ask you to go back to Lu City to supervise and review the accounts of Guo Mengyao Cosmetics Company. Or attend meetings and events on my behalf. The same goes for the milk tea shop in Xiuzhou. I may have other investment projects in the future that I need you to take care of. "
Wu Mengting thought. After thinking about it, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I can give it a try. If you think it doesn't work, ask someone else."
Chen Feng said quickly: "You are a top student who graduated from Tunghai University. How could it not be possible? You can definitely do it."
Wu Mengting smiled and asked: "What is the name of your mistress who runs a milk tea shop? How old are you? "
Chen Feng immediately corrected: "I broke up with her before I opened the milk tea shop, so she is no longer my mistress. Her name is Xiao Ya, and she is my schoolmate. About three or four years old.”
“Oh, she’s quite young.” Wu Mengting said seemingly casually, then continued, “You can take me to see you after we arrive at the show. Let her."
After being stunned for a moment, Chen Feng said: "Don't be so anxious. The store has only been opened for a few days. It won't be too late for me to take you to see her after one month."
"Has it only been open for a few days? Then you, the shareholder, haven't seen it in the store yet?"
"Well, I haven't seen it yet."
Wu Mengting couldn't help but turn around. He rolled his eyes and said, "You are too conceited. After all, you invested 500,000 yuan in it. Since you have returned to Xiuzhou, you are too stupid not to go and check the accounts." . I know you trust her, but haven't you broken up with her now? In business, necessary supervision and precautions are definitely needed. Otherwise, if you ignore her for a long time, it will really test her conscience and morality. "
"Okay, okay. Let's go and check the accounts tomorrow, okay?" Chen Feng finally convinced her.
“Why tomorrow? Anyway, let’s drive to Xiuzhou now and stop by this milk tea shop. Wouldn’t it be nice?”
"OK! If you really want to go today, then let's do it today. Oh, by the way, let me ask for the address first."
Chen Feng picked up his phone and was about to send a WeChat message to Xiaoya Milk Tea Shop. address.
“You don’t even know where the store is?” Wu Mengting couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
Chen Feng smiled and said: "I am just an investor. I pay the money and I don't care about other things."
Wu Mengting couldn't help but shook her head: "You are really big-hearted."
Chen Feng sent it via WeChat, but Xiao Ya did not reply immediately.
After waiting for a few minutes, the two of them had almost rested, and Xiao Ya finally sent her location.
After Chen Feng forwarded it to Wu Mengting, the two set off again.
It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived in Xiuzhou. According to the map navigation, they both drove their cars to the milk tea shop opened by Xiao Ya.
After parking the car, the two of them walked towards the milk tea shop. From a distance, they saw many people gathered in front of the shop, mostly young people.
This is a commercial street not far from East Lake. The area of the milk tea shop is not large, only about ten square meters at most. But the store decoration is very fashionable and eye-catching.
There is a sign at the gate offering a 20% discount on the opening offer, which may be one of the reasons for the booming business.
Chen Feng and Chen Feng walked to the front of the store. Chen Feng was about to line up and buy two cups of milk tea when he saw a woman in work clothes walking out of the store, wearing an apron and a peaked cap.
At first, Chen Feng didn't recognize her. It wasn't until she stood in front of Chen Feng and called him "Brother Feng" that Chen Feng recognized her. This was Xiao Ya. It's just that she has changed her hair style now and has a short hair. She has also lost a lot of weight. There is not much flesh on her face that was originally baby fat. In addition, she is wearing a peaked cap and work clothes with an apron, and the sky is a little dark. , Chen Feng didn't recognize her all of a sudden, it was really normal.
"Why have you lost so much weight?" Chen Feng looked at her in surprise and said with some concern, "Business is important, but you shouldn't work so hard."
Xiao Ya smiled slightly and said: " I have been losing weight. It’s good to be able to lose weight now. The milk tea shop business was a bit busy at the beginning, but now I have gradually adapted to it, and I have hired four employees, so it is not very tiring.”
"That's good." Chen Feng nodded He nodded and didn't say any more words of concern. After all, the relationship between the two was different now. Talking too much might cause her to misunderstand. He turned to introduce Wu Mengting next to her, "Her name is Wu Mengting, she is my friend. In addition, Also mine Assistant, from now on I will leave my investment matters to her, and she will discuss all matters in the store with you."
"Hello"
"Hello. .”
The two women looked at each other and smiled, then both extended their hands to shake each other's, and then quickly separated.
"Okay, I'm here mainly to see the store, and also to introduce you two to each other. Now you can continue your work, let's leave first."
Chen Feng wants to go back early to follow Sun Xiaorui met and then went to bed.
Xiao Ya said, "How about we find a place to eat and talk about the operation of the milk tea shop."
"Okay." Before Chen Feng said anything, Wu Mengting agreed. , said with a smile, "It just so happens that we haven't eaten yet."
Chen Feng couldn't object when he saw this.
So the three of them went to a nearby cooking restaurant, asked for a private room, and ordered a few dishes.
Xiao Ya briefly reported the current situation of the store to Chen Feng. The two of them invested 700,000 in the early stage. The store rent, decoration, franchise fees, equipment and raw materials together cost more than 500,000, including advertising, It cost more than 20,000 yuan to distribute these leaflets.
The total initial cost was about 600,000. The opening business has been quite good these days. Excluding discounts, the turnover is more than 10,000 yuan every day. Especially in the first two days of opening, the turnover was more than 20,000, but then it gradually dropped to more than 10,000.
As for the gross profit, it’s about half, which means the average is at least several thousand per day these days, which seems like a lot. But after deducting shop rent, labor, water and electricity bills and other miscellaneous expenses, as well as equipment damage and repair costs, etc., this has to be halved at least. What is left is the pure profit of Xiao Ya and Chen Feng as the bosses.
A rough calculation these days shows that the average net profit of the two of them is about two to three thousand. In other words, according to this average level, Xiao Ya can get up to 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a month, and Chen Feng can get 40,000 to 50,000 yuan at most.
This is still a relatively ideal state.
So, the business of the milk tea shop seems to be very prosperous, but it is really not as profitable as everyone thinks. Among them, store rent accounts for the majority. The busier the street and the greater the flow of people, the more expensive the store rent will be.
Because it is close to East Lake and has a large flow of people, the monthly rent of the shop is as high as 32,000 yuan, which is the result of repeated price bargaining.
So, most people who open stores work for landlords to make money.
Xiao Ya finally concluded: "The profitability of the milk tea shop is much worse than I expected."
"So do you regret opening this shop now?"
Chen Feng asked Xiao Ya with a smile. She had made sufficient preparations to open a milk tea shop. She even went to work undercover in a milk tea shop for nearly a month in advance to find out the real operating conditions of the milk tea shop. But she is not a store owner after all, so she obviously hasn’t figured out the specific profitability yet.
“Of course I have no regrets.” Xiao Ya shook her head, “Although I’m a little tired and go to work at around seven in the morning and get off work at around nine in the evening, if I can earn 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a month, it will be hundreds of thousands a year. Yes, that’s enough for me.”
After thinking about it, Chen Feng nodded: "That's true. If you persist like this for a long time, you will be too tired. Look at how thin you are. If a bad thing wears down your body, it will be worth the loss. Otherwise, I'll see you recruit someone. The store manager comes over, you just come over every day to check the accounts and supervise.”
Xiao Ya smiled and nodded and said: "I have thought about it too, but it has just been opened not long ago, so I must be in charge personally. After the store business is on track, I will recruit a store manager, or from among the four people now Choose one to be the store manager."
"You just have to know what to do."
The meal only lasted for more than half an hour, and then we separated from Xiao Ya.
During the meal, Wu Mengting basically said nothing. After Xiao Ya left, Wu Mengting said to Chen Feng: "This woman seems to be very career-minded. She didn't talk about anything else except business during the whole process. It's really not good for a woman to be like this."
Chen Feng nodded and said, "You are right. I thought she was career-minded at first. She was too strong and utilitarian, so I broke up with her because I found it boring. Originally, I was worried that she would be dissatisfied with me, or would be sad or something, but now it seems that she is more free and easy-going when facing me. , no mood swings visible, quite calm and calm.”
Wu Mengting shook her head and said, "That's not necessarily true. She might just be pretending to be good. Didn't you say she lost a lot of weight? Maybe it's because you dumped her."
"How is this possible? She She must have been busy opening a milk tea shop and then running the store's business. She was too busy, so she lost weight. You didn't hear what she said. She went to work at seven o'clock in the morning and left after nine o'clock in the evening. Class?"
"Anyway, I think you should try not to have contact with her in the future, otherwise you will be embarrassed and she will not feel better."
"That's true. From now on, you will be responsible for checking the accounts and dividing the money for me every month.”
“Okay.”
The two walked while talking and arrived at the parking place.
Chen Feng said that he would go directly back to Hongshu Bay, while Wu Mengting suggested that everyone stay together at the East Lake Villa tonight, and then the four of them get together.
Lin Wan and Sun Xiaorui have both returned to Xiuzhou.
Chen Feng said that he had made an appointment with Sun Xiaorui, and the four of them would meet again at the East Lake Villa at noon tomorrow.
Wu Mengting failed to persuade Chen Feng in the end and separated from Chen Feng in the parking lot.
Speeding up the car and driving back to Hongshu Bay, he saw the lights of his villa in the distance. Thinking of Sun Xiaorui, whom he hadn't seen for a while, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
The car drove to the villa and just stopped in front of the garage. Chen Feng was looking for the remote control of the garage when he saw the rolling shutter door of the garage rising automatically.
Looking up, he saw the lights on in the garage. At the door of the garage, Sun Xiaorui, dressed in simple and elegant clothes, was standing there, looking at him with a smile. Under the orange light, it gave people a sense of home. The feeling made Chen Feng couldn't help but smile on his face.
