In the Republic of China, I can change jobs indefinitely

Chapter 7 New Business Opportunities
Twilight covers the earth, and the lights are just coming on.

The wharf in Renjia Town became lively, shouting everywhere, and even the nightingale was still singing.

The workers who came back from the mine brought a lot of popularity, and naturally there were more people eating, and restaurants, large and small, were full.There are people eating everywhere, and the strong aroma of dishes is mixed with the crowds, injecting infinite vitality into this place, and it immediately comes alive.

Selling dried fruits, mending leather boots, and carrying burdens, itinerant vendors yelled loudly to welcome the noisy night.

The just-opened Linjiang Building is bursting with business, with a constant flow of merchants and more people on their way, creating a busy scene.

According to Yue Zhenshan's plan, the opening ceremony was planned to be held for seven days.

During the event, all consumption was [-]% off, and on the third day, the business exploded.Yue Zhenshan canceled the event, but the business was still booming as usual.

There are two reasons for this. The first is that consumption in Linjianglou is not cheap. Almost all the people who can eat here are business people, and there is no shortage of money for food consumption.Ordinary workers, even with a half discount, they still wouldn't come to Jianglou to eat.

The second is that the food at Linjianglou is delicious. In just three days, almost half of the customers are repeat customers.Coupled with the word of mouth of these guests, the reputation of Linjiang Tower has been established.

When Yue Zhenshan came to the restaurant, he saw the clerk at the counter collecting the money hand by hand, and he felt joy spontaneously in his heart.

This business is stable, and it can be regarded as a firm foothold at the dock.

According to his careful observation, he found that there is still a blank market demand in Renjia Town that needs to be occupied urgently.

The miners who work in Ren's mine almost always eat a heavy meal in the morning, and can only fool around at noon, dinner is the most important thing of the day.

In the mine, wages are recorded according to the amount of mining. In order to earn more money, miners almost never return to the town for lunch.

In addition, the mine is very desolate, and the working environment is harsh and difficult, which requires a hardworking spirit.

In this environment, if the mine wants to solve the lunch problem of hundreds of thousands of miners, it is tantamount to a dream.

In this regard, Yue Zhenshan thought of a wonderful solution.

He ordered 1000 steel food boxes in advance, divided into upper and lower layers, and the bulk order price is 0.15 yuan.

Then I personally built an insulated food delivery car, which consists of three parts, a coal stove for heating, a thermal circulation system for boiling water, and the main body for storing food boxes.

When the miners were taking a break at noon, Yumi delivered meals in person from Linjianglou.

Miners can get hot food directly at the gate of the mine. This method is fast and convenient, and they can eat a hot meal and send it to the mine. This is something that even Mei and Hungry have never done. business!

On the seventh day, 7 steel food boxes arrived.

Linjiang Building posted a usage announcement with a conspicuous big red news:
Great news is coming! ! !

In order to solve the problem of meals for the majority of miners' brothers at noon in the mine, Linjiang Building specially launched a steel food box rental and preferential catering activity.

Activity regulations:

Anyone who rents a steel food box (the deposit is 0.3 yuan, which can be refunded at that time), the use fee is 0.1 yuan per month, which is regarded as the qualification for the noon discount meal. Serve a hot lunch.

Every morning, Linjianglou provides as many as 14 kinds of side dishes, including beef, mutton, pork and stir-fried vegetables, which are refurbished and generous.

One meat and two vegetables plus staple food, 0.1 yuan.

Big pork chop plus one meat and two vegetables, plus staple food, 0.15 yuan.

Big pork chop plus two meat and three vegetables, plus staple food, 0.2 yuan.

Large pork ribs plus chicken legs, plus three meat and four vegetarian rich version, 0.3 yuan, this set meal has no staple food, you can take it yourself, because the portions of the dishes are enough, you will be full just by eating the dishes.

……

On the merged tables of the Eight Immortals at the entrance of the Linjiang Building, there are a large pile of steel food boxes.

The shiny silver light quickly attracted everyone's attention. A large number of miners gathered around to ask questions. Bi Zhongyu and others explained that their mouths were dry. The discount package launched by the hotel aroused the miners' strong interest, and some people couldn't help but try it. .

On the second day of opening, 2 steel food boxes were rented out. The results are not too good, but they are not too bad either.

The real outbreak was on the fourth day. The miners who took the lead in leasing steel food boxes would have a meal at the breakfast shop next to Linjiang Building every morning before going to work. During the lunch break, Linjiang Building delivered steaming delicious food meals.

In the wild where weeds are growing wildly, the tempting food aroma wafts from the hot lunch box. The smell is unbearable, and the saliva drips for more than a foot.Comparing the two, this is better than carrying two steamed buns in your arms and drinking some cold water every day. I don’t know how many times stronger.

People are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away.

In fact, these miners did not know that the restaurant where they ate in the morning was also opened by Yue Zhenshan.

And the kitchen utensils used in this store also have ulterior motives. The attributes of the kitchen utensils are delicious +3, physical strength +4, and digestion +5.

I eat a meal in the store every morning, and I work hard every day.

As a result, at noon, the stomach will be very hungry.Coupled with the demonstration effect that makes people jealous, it is simply the best advertisement, and the word-of-mouth has finally exploded on the fifth day.

A large group of miners flocked to rent steel food boxes, and more than 700 steel food boxes were rented out on this day alone.

On the 6th day, all 1000 steel food boxes were rented out. Many miners who came late sighed and were even willing to pay a higher price for the lease. Unfortunately, the next batch had to wait until a week later.

These food boxes are all machine-made, and Renjia Town can't make them, so they can only buy them from other places.

There is no doubt about the purchasing power of the miners, and the wages of the mines are still good.

Out of their habit of frugality, they are just reluctant to squander their money. It is not that they have no money. It is almost every miner's hard demand to have a warm and delicious meal at noon.

Linjiang Building urgently ordered 2000 additional steel food boxes, and tried its best to meet the needs of customers.

Yue Zhenshan watched with a smile as the food boxes were rented out. The monthly rental fee of only 1000 steel food boxes was 0.1 yuan, which could bring him a net income of 100 yuan.

There are nearly 3000 miners in Renjia Town, all of whom are potential customers.

The deposit of 0.3 yuan for each food box does not seem to be much, but it has deposited 300 oceans. This is a lot of wealth, which means that my business has made a good start and the future prospects are bright.

Every time a food box is damaged, it is equivalent to selling a food box, and a profit of 0.15 yuan can be obtained.

The most important thing is that Linjiang Building already has 1000 stable customers, and it generates a steady stream of profits every day.

In Renjia Town, a city dominated by mining, the price of goods is not cheap. Judging from the general profit margin of more than half of the restaurants, the cumulative effect is quite considerable.

In mid-July, after the second batch of 7 steel food boxes arrived, they were sold out in just one week.

Until this time, other large and small hotels near the pier reacted belatedly, and it was too late.

Linjiang Building has a large number of customers, and they send them purchasing power and stable profits as punctually as punch cards every day.

PS: The meal box pricing, and the package pricing reference are as follows,
"Middle Class Ledger of the Republic of China" records Dong Shiyuan's daily expenses in the 25 years of the Republic of China. It costs 1 yuan to buy books, 1 yuan to buy cigarette cases, handkerchiefs, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, and 0.25 yuan to buy gray cloth shoes. The lunch box is equivalent to Toothbrush, lunch box ≈ [-] yuan.

"Living History of the Silver Dollar Age" reference:
A meal of two chickens (eggs) and one pancake in Shanghai requires four copper coins.

The restaurant calls a plate of scallion roasted pork ribs, a few vegetarian dishes, and two bowls of rice. It is a good meal for two people, and it costs an octagonal small ocean.For two people to eat, one silver dollar in Beiping can eat a meal of hot-boiled mutton.

换算：1银元=100铜元，早餐4铜元，午餐估算为10铜元=0.1元。
