Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Squeeze Out as Much Value as Possible
The dignitary above, naturally refers to Yang Ye and the Emperor Emeritus. Shopkeeper He is aware of this.
His shoulders suddenly slump, two thousand catties of yellow soybeans…
This barely suffices as a stopgap for Supertaste Restaurant.
Losing such a profitable opportunity, oh, what a heartache!
No, it is an ache of the flesh; the whole body hurts!
“Shopkeeper, you should think of it this way. If you procure all my stuff, by the time Zuixian Building comes inquiring, there will not be a single sesame seed left to be seen.” Noticing Shopkeeper He’s expression, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but chuckle.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper He sighs in exasperation.
Of course, he would have been glad to come out on top in a competition against Zuixian Building.
However, this happiness isn’t enough to make up for the silver he lost!
Upon observing this, Xiaomai ponders for a moment before suggesting, “Shopkeeper, you could experiment with a few ideas to maximize the value of these soybeans.”
“What sort of ideas?” Shopkeeper He asks feebly.
Having lost silver that could have been pocketed, he feels as if the strength has been sucked from his body.
“For instance, prepare a privilege card for the wealthy students with prestigious backgrounds visiting Supertaste Restaurant. Then offer them points. For every tael of silver, award them one point. If they accrue a certain number of points, gift them tofu and bean curd made from these soybeans.”
“Or if one of the distinguished guests has a birthday, if they decide to celebrate at Supertaste Restaurant, these two dishes are given complimentary.”
“Although these things are given for free, the silver spent by these guests at the restaurant is plentiful enough to compensate for any losses incurred by the tofu and bean curd.”
There is no membership system in place here.
For those affluent individuals, the points accumulated through the membership system don’t matter much. However, if these points can be exchanged for something others can’t buy, then it satiates their sense of superiority.
This way, it is sure to draw more of them to consume in the restaurant.
With more consumption, Supertaste Restaurant gains more profits.
About the birthday benefit, as long as the patrons desire that specific dish, they will surely celebrate their birthdays at Supertaste Restaurant. If there’s a celebration, then Supertaste Restaurant will no doubt make a profit.
Xiaomai had previously mentioned this membership system to Shopkeeper He. Upon seeing Shopkeeper He’s initial confusion, three-year-old Tong indulges in the calculations for him.
Considering a restaurant like Supertaste, it makes about fifty percent profit each month.
A meal costing thirty taels of silver, results in Supertaste Restaurant making a profit of fifteen taels.
No matter how expensive tofu and bean curd get, would they charge fifteen taels per portion?
Thus, regardless of the calculations, Supertaste Restaurant stands to gain in the end.
Naturally, this method works effectively for those who love tofu and bean curd. For those who despise tofu, such a system yields no appeal.
After pondering for a while, Shopkeeper He comprehends the logic of it. Being a businessman himself, this isn’t too hard to understand.
However, he suggests, “In that case, Miss Qiao, would you be able to sell me more sweet potatoes? I can make some starch and then make Cold jelly noodles. For those who do not enjoy tofu and bean curd, I can offer them the noodles as a gift.”
Having only tofu and bean curd as incentives seems a little far-fetched.
Hearing this, Xiaomai nods her head in agreement, “Alright.” Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NovelHub(.)net
She did have an abundance of sweet potatoes.
“So, let’s now talk about the prices.” Her eyes looking like crescent moons, she said with a radiant smile.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper He’s heart skips a beat, his heart started trembling.
He asked cautiously in a subdued voice, “So, Miss, what would be your asking price?”
