Chapter 809 Agreed on the Purchase Price

"Since it's a commercial secret, forget it!" Hearing Zhou Xiaobo's explanation, Jiumei felt relieved, as long as he didn't deliberately help her: "Then the lunch box you come to get from me will be at the cost price! "

"That's not good, at least let you earn a little, Jiumei, you don't know, this lunch box is very popular, and I'm afraid you won't be able to sell hundreds or even thousands of boxes every day. If you give me the price, wouldn't it be a death penalty!"

"It's not too much to lose, and I can still make some money because of sharing the daily costs and buying ingredients in bulk!" Jiumei said frankly.

"Okay then, for each box of lunch, you only charge an extra yuan, and rice is charged an extra ten cents. That's it. If it's lower, I'll find someone else!" Zhou Xiaobo said seriously.

Although the profit margin is relatively small, in fact, in the box lunch industry, it is almost impossible to make money steadily. There will always be off-season and peak season. Maybe you can earn more today, but tomorrow you may not be able to make money. Making money or even losing money, but Zhou Xiaobo's purchase of goods from Jiumei will not let the latter have the possibility of losing money at all. All the boxed lunches sold will eventually be sold out, even if they can't be sold on the same day, they can be properly packed in a small space. Save it and wait until the next day to sell it, so that the box lunch will not go bad due to the passage of time outside.

"Uh! Well, I'll do as you say!" Seeing Zhou Xiaobo's serious expression, Jiumei no longer insisted on lowering the price, and nodded in agreement.

"By the way, I can make the box lunch I need at any time. You can let everyone stagger the meal and make it when you are free, preferably in the morning. At that time, few people order takeaway. Just tell me to pick it up." Zhou Xiaobo added.

"What?" Hearing Zhou Xiaobo's words and thinking of the latter's possible daily sales volume, Jiumei couldn't help but feel hot. This is net profit, which is equivalent to the cost of processing, and the cost of processing is less than It needs to be counted, because even if those cooks don’t make these extra meals, they still pay their wages every month, and they don’t even count as cost sharing—because Zhou Xiaobo didn’t ask for the preparation time of these boxed meals, and even deliberately chose them When Jiumei fast food is relatively free, there is no problem.

You must know that during the day, the busiest time of the fast food restaurant is at noon, and the rest of the time, whether it is evening or morning, there are not so many people ordering food. Let’s not talk about the night, many people like to go out to have a good meal, and then go to the Internet cafe for a night out. This is not only affordable, but also can eat the meals they want, and more importantly, they can eat very full. Enough to consume for one night. And in the morning, those who stayed overnight at Internet cafes basically got off the plane, and it was just a way to go to have some breakfast. You can also drink hot soup, and generally you don’t order takeaway, only at noon, and you are having a good time. Enthusiastic netizens are likely to choose to order takeaways driven by people around them, so this is also the time of day when fast food restaurants have the best business. Some of the more popular fast food restaurants even have to hire several deliverymen to barely manage to keep busy. , but once the time passed, these food delivery staff, chefs, vegetable washers, etc. were all idle.

And Zhou Xiaobo did this to increase the workload and gross profit to a certain extent without increasing the operating costs of Jiumei Fast Food, which is equivalent to obtaining a large amount of extra income, which is actually completely net profit.

"Even if it's Zhou Xiaobo, you sell 500 boxed lunches a day, and that day will make me earn 500 more yuan, which is 15,000 yuan a month. It's amazing!" Before Zhou Xiaobo could speak, Jiumei said Can't help but sigh with emotion: "In this case, I don't need to worry about income issues at all, and I can even stop the original fast food business directly..."

"There is no need to stop now, let's talk about it later, otherwise the cost will be on me, and the final net profit will be greatly reduced!" Zhou Xiaobo said with a smile. At this time, his small space can only hold two thousand at a time. Multiple lunch boxes, because the time in the small space is in a static state, there is no need to worry about the problem of the lunch boxes squeezing each other, and Zhou Xiaobo needs to be careful not to expose too many flaws in the process of transporting outside, so the transportation capacity is not enough. Not too strong, I can't support the huge Jiumei fast food restaurant on my own, so when I heard Jiumei said that I would stop the previous takeaway business and supply it to him alone, I quickly dissuaded: "And even now , Since the workload of cooks and vegetable washers has increased significantly, they also need to be paid monthly bonuses, which is also a lot of expenses, and the net profit is not that high after calculation."

"That's true!" Hearing Zhou Xiaobo's words, Jiumei gave up that unrealistic idea, and said with a smile: "The lunch box will be ready later, you probably haven't eaten it yet, just wait here , I'll make you something delicious!"

"What's delicious? I'll just eat some box lunch!" Hearing Jiumei's words, Zhou Xiaobo realized that he was hungry again, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional, but then he put all these distracting thoughts to the back of his mind, and said with a smile : "Jiumei, the taste of the box lunch here is quite good. Those people are full of praise after eating it!"

"How can you just eat box lunches! Young boy, you still have to make up for it. Don't talk about it, just wait here. Anyway, it will take a while to prepare the box lunches. Just pack a batch and send a batch away." , By the time the last batch arrives, I'm sure it's ready!"

"Okay then, sorry to trouble you, Jiumei!" Zhou Xiaobo thought for a while, and thought it was the same reason, so he didn't say anything more.

When he came this time, Zhou Xiaobo brought more than 3,000 yuan, which not only dispelled Jiumei's doubts, but also allowed him to "purchase" more boxed lunches at one time. Beef, twice-cooked pork, and Kung Pao Chicken are medium-to-high-end meat dishes, and I also specially ordered a batch of high-end boxed lunches, which are the most expensive boxed lunches at Jiumei Fast Food - braised soft-shelled turtle, 33 yuan a piece, but only two boxes Yes, one dish and one meal, the amount is very sufficient.

Zhou Xiaobo ordered ten servings of the braised soft-shelled turtle, intending to test the market reaction. If he couldn't sell it, he would eat it by himself. Anyway, the cost was nothing to him.

Not to mention that Jiumei cooked small pot meals for Zhou Xiaobo on her own small stove. As time went by, the boxed lunches that Zhou Xiaobo asked for before had already been packed in boxes, and they were just waiting to be boxed and sent away. There are nearly 200 boxes in one batch, and if rice is included, there are more than 400 boxes.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaobo didn't delay, and immediately ran over to help put the boxed lunch into two large foam boxes, then picked it up and went out.
