Chapter 176 The Master and the Cousin Were Beaten
Wang Laifu was really scared now, but he still said stubbornly: "This food is prepared every day. If it can't be sold in one or two days, it will be wasted. That's why the cost is so high!"
Seeing that he was not giving up, Xie Jiaojiao said, "Your inn has less than a hundred guests a month, and only three guests a day. How can you prepare so much food every day? And with so much wasted, you still make the store profitable, which is amazing!"
Who among those present could not understand Xie Jiaojiao's analysis? It was normal for an inn to have only three guests a day, but for three guests, the food cost was fifty taels, and there was still revenue in the end, which was not right...
Manager Wang said directly: "Come here, throw him directly to the government office and make him spit out all the money he took in!"
This time, Wang Laifu didn't dare to pretend anymore, he immediately knelt down, bowed to Xie Jiaojiao and said: "Young Madam, Young Madam, I know I was wrong, I have parents and children to take care of, if I enter the government, no one will be willing to hire me anymore..."
But no one heard him say that the person had already been taken away.
After the people left, the people in the hall trembled even more.
Xie Jiaojiao immediately started laughing again.
"Your account books are all OK. There are two exceptions. Although there are mistakes, the problems are not particularly serious. When the time comes, please ask these two shopkeepers to make up for the money they have taken in. Otherwise, the consequences for these two shopkeepers will be the same as that of Shopkeeper Wang!"
As soon as Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked at each other and could clearly see who was sweating on their forehead and whose face was red and painful.
Xie Jiaojiao sat down: "Please take a seat, shopkeepers."
The big guy then breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.
Gu Weizhi looked at Xie Jiaojiao and suddenly felt that this young lady was different from what he had heard...
Xie Jiaojiao smiled at everyone and said casually, "Just treat what happened just now as a small episode. Next, I will tell you the purpose of inviting you all here today."
"I have looked at everyone's account books in recent years. Some of us have good profits, while others don't have so much profit. But after all, since my mother-in-law passed away so many years ago, I have neglected to supervise you all. Many times, you have done things based on your own judgment."
Everyone nodded slightly, but no one spoke.
Xie Jiaojiao pointed to the two piles of account books in front of her.
"I divided your account books into two categories based on your account book data. Of course, when I divided them into these categories, I also considered your normal revenue."
Then Xie Jiaojiao asked Manager Wang to divide all the account books into two piles, with those on the left sitting on the left and those on the right sitting on the right.
When everyone sat down again, they looked at Xie Jiaojiao and were even more puzzled, wondering why she did that.
Then Xie Jiaojiao said, "I've been thinking about this for a while. If we continue like this, in a few years, I'm afraid that all the shopkeepers here will not be able to run their shops anymore."
Everyone pursed their lips and said nothing.
Xie Jiaojiao paused for a moment before speaking again: "Since this is the case, if we want to continue this business, then we have to change our mindset. Many things, including business, can only be solved if they are changed, and they can survive if they are solved."
As soon as Xie Jiaojiao said this, someone immediately asked, "Young Madam, since you said so, does that mean you have already thought of a solution?"
Everyone looked at her.
Xie Jiaojiao nodded slightly: "I have a way, so I gathered everyone here."
Then Xie Jiaojiao repeated her thoughts to everyone. Some people were puzzled, but most people's eyes lit up, especially Gu Weizhi, who was even more excited...
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she gave everyone some time to discuss and drank a cup of tea. She said that her throat was almost smoking after talking for so long.
Seeing that they had almost finished their discussion, Xie Jiaojiao spoke again: "Just now I divided everyone into two categories. In fact, I have another idea I want to tell you. I want to divide our inn into two categories, one is low-end and the other is high-end."
No one quite understands what she means by low-end and mid-to-high-end.
Xie Jiaojiao explained again: "It means that one is a place that ordinary people can live in, and the other has certain requirements for accommodation!"
After she said this, everyone understood.
Xie Jiaojiao continued, "This plan is simple to say, but it is not easy to implement. It includes all the inns in our state capital, some old and some newly opened, so when the time comes, all parties will need to cooperate. If there are inns that need to be repaired, they can also apply for maintenance fees. We will allocate funds as appropriate, but I have a special request, that is, all our inns, regardless of the price, must be clean and tidy..."
Afterwards, Xie Jiaojiao said a lot more, all of which were related to how to promote the inn. Everyone listened attentively, and then discussed the feasibility of this plan!
Some people think that the plan is feasible, but if the customers are separated in this way, then the revenue of these "mid- and low-end" inns will not drop a lot? After all, the pricing is cheap, and if the revenue is reduced, there will be no point.
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "Most of the time, the people who can stay in the inn are ordinary people. In fact, the most important thing is to make small profits but quick turnover, and maximize all the rooms in our inn. Although our mid-to-high-end prices are higher than the mid-to-low-end prices, its customer flow is also limited..."
……
After a day of discussion, we finally decided on the names of the two inns, Tongfu Inn and Yunmeng Inn!
Tongfu Inn takes the economical and affordable route, while Yunmeng Inn takes the high-end route.
Xie Jiaojiao also took out a sign made of wood: "I will make a special seal for our shop at that time. People who have stayed in our inn can apply for membership. This is his membership card. We will register all members and they can enjoy discounts on inn accommodation. And as long as he stays for one night, we will stamp a seal. For every ten times he stays in, he can stay for free the next time..."
……
It was almost dark when Xie Jiaojiao walked out of the house.
I didn't see anyone from Jiang Weinan either.
"Madam, the young master said he had something to do and has left with his cousin."
Xie Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly: "Then please, Uncle Wang, prepare a carriage for me."
"Already prepared."
The two chatted along the way, and Steward Wang smiled and said that Xie Jiaojiao had the demeanor of the Madam when she was here, and said that it was a good show of power today, after all, these people had not been disciplined together for a long time...
Just as Xie Jiaojiao was about to get on the carriage, a voice stopped her: "Young Madam, wait a moment!"
Xie Jiaojiao turned around and saw it was Gu Weizhi.
Xie Jiaojiao stepped back again: "Manager Gu, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Gu Weizhi nodded, panting slightly: "I have something I want to discuss with the young lady."
Xie Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly, and just as she was about to say "please", Lai Fu ran over and said anxiously, "Madam, go and have a look! The young master and the cousin have been beaten!"
what!
Xie Jiaojiao didn't even have time to say a word to Gu Weizhi, she turned around and ran after Lai Fu...
