Chapter 628: 623 Tang Xinyi’s collaboration

"Brother Zhu Zi, what do you mean by that?"

Gu Chen seemed as if he couldn’t grasp the meaning of his words.

Wu Dazhu, however, spoke slowly, "There’s nothing wrong with what you did. If I were you, I would have promoted her directly to the management team as well. This way, it would create a superior-inferior relationship between them inside, which is a technique of balance.

If all seven people who joined were on the same level as her, it would be very easy to create a situation where they are all tied together. No matter what the future holds, if they all gang up on you, that would be trouble for us.

A superior-inferior relationship, no matter what, will create a barrier in their hearts."

He said this bit by bit to Gu Chen.

After hearing this, Gu Chen was clearly taken aback and then glanced at Wu Dazhu.

Had he really thought that far? He didn’t feel so. He was simply trying to avoid trouble.

Moreover, the bar really was short-staffed now, and it would be good if seven people could join directly.

For Gu Chen, this was beneficial, saving him a lot of trouble.

However, hearing Wu Dazhu’s words, Gu Chen felt as if he had inadvertently done something right.

He didn’t refute Wu Dazhu. After all, who would know about such things if he didn’t speak up?

"Little Brother Gu, how much can our bar’s net profit reach?" he asked Gu Chen.

"Excluding some costs and their commissions, our profit margin is roughly between twenty-five and thirty percent. For the cheaper drinks, it’s basically around thirty percent, and for the more expensive ones, it’s about twenty-five percent."

After Gu Chen said this, Wu Dazhu nodded.

The reason why more expensive drinks have lower profits is mainly because the marketing commissions are tiered.

The cheaper drinks don’t increase the marketing commission much, which is why our bar can take a slightly larger profit.

But for something like today’s Louis XIII, if two bottles were opened directly,

the marketing commission would instantly hit twenty percent.

Then the bar’s profit would drop.

However, even with a lower margin, the bar makes more from the expensive drinks than from the cheaper ones.

Opening a thousand bottles of ordinary beer might only earn a few hundred dollars, but even if the profit margin decreases, opening one bottle of three-thousand-dollar liquor earns more than those thousand bottles of beer.

"Tell me the cost of those drinks tomorrow, and I’ll transfer the money to you," Wu Dazhu said to Gu Chen.

Although he and Gu Chen were partners in the bar, he had not yet paid Gu Chen any money.

Having seen today the bar’s future prospects, he immediately decided to transfer funds to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded upon hearing this. He wasn’t in a hurry himself.

But it seemed that even if he wasn’t eager, Wu Dazhu was getting a little anxious.

At five in the morning, Gu Chen arrived outside the bar.

The drink he had had at eight o’clock had long since been digested.

He returned home and saw everyone was still sleeping soundly.

He gently pushed open the bedroom door.

There he saw the bedside lamp still on, with Ji Pianran holding a book but seemingly already asleep.

It looked like last night Ji Pianran had planned to wait for Gu Chen to come back and go to sleep together.

But since Gu Chen had not returned, she had fallen asleep first.

At the sound, Ji Pianran then opened her groggy eyes.

When she saw Gu Chen, she became slightly more awake.

Outside, the sky had already gradually started to brighten a little.

Ji Pianran checked the time, and it was already five in the morning.

She said somewhat surprised to Gu Chen, "You came back so late."

"I just finished up, and hurried back," Gu Chen said.

Hearing that Gu Chen had only just finished, Ji Pianran asked with concern, "Did you drink?"

"I had a drink after eight, but there’s nothing problematic anymore," he said.

Hearing that Gu Chen hadn’t drunk much, Ji Pianran was relieved.

"Shall I get you a glass of water?" she offered, about to get up.

But she was quickly stopped by Gu Chen.

"Don’t move, no need to drink anymore. Let’s get some sleep, it’s getting late," he said.

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran stopped and didn’t continue to get up.

She could tell that Gu Chen was very tired at the moment.

"How was the business at the bar today?" she asked.

"Not bad, made a sale of 110,000," he replied.

After Gu Chen said this, Ji Pianran looked very surprised.

She had never imagined that Gu Chen could make such a large amount of money.

This was a whole 110,000! Old Wang probably had to sell many bottles to make that much.

Just as Ji Pianran was planning to continue asking, she saw that Gu Chen had already fallen asleep.

Seeing this, she didn’t say anything more and went to sleep holding Gu Chen.

Gu Chen didn’t know how long he had slept, but when he woke up, it was already dusk outside.

He opened his eyes and slowly got up from the bed.

There was a slight aching feeling in his body.

Maybe because he hadn’t stayed up late for a long time, Gu Chen felt somewhat unaccustomed.

He then got up and simply cooked some food for himself.

Seeing that it was already three in the afternoon, he was surprised that he could sleep for such a long time.

He had planned to send people out to distribute flyers during the day, but now it seemed there wasn’t enough time left.

So, he had to put off the flyer distribution until tomorrow.

After eating his fill, Gu Chen went outside directly.

He went to find Tang Xinyi and located the storefront she had just rented.

After entering, he found Tang Xinyi was still continuously taking calls.

"How’s it going?" he asked Tang Xinyi.

"It’s pretty good, over a hundred pieces have already been preordered. I didn’t expect there to be so many rich people in Chuan City," she said with surprise.

Gu Chen smiled after hearing this; people nowadays preferred to be low-key and were used to it. There were still many who could afford a thousand yuan for clothes.

It’s just that on normal days, no one would do such a thing.

Gu Chen had managed to capture these consumers in advance.

"Remember not to take too many orders, or else the tailors can’t keep up. Inefficiency will upset the customers," Gu Chen reminded her.

It wasn’t about making money just because it was available.

It was also important to consider the overall situation and think more comprehensively.

Accepting orders based on the tailors’ speed was most important.

"I know, I just refused an order, saying we were out of stock," she nodded.

"Then I’m relieved. There’s nothing else; I just came to have a look. Since there’s nothing going on, I’ll be going," Gu Chen said, ready to leave.

However, at this moment, Tang Xinyi quickly said, "Director Gu, I have something I’d like to discuss with you."

Hearing her words, Gu Chen looked at her curiously, wondering what she had in mind.

"I want to talk to you about a cooperation proposal," she told Gu Chen.

Hearing this, Gu Chen wasn’t surprised.
