Chapter 1113: Scam
Five hundred and forty lunch boxes is not a small number, and according to the indicator of fifteen yuan per lunch box, the profit margin is still very considerable. Although the requirement is two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, it can be said that at this scale, even if it is three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, Heath can still make some money. The money the costs, Heath can still make a lot. After all, labor costs are also included in the profit. Heath's food truck only has two chefs, Heath and Farfetch'd, and Farfetch'd is Heath's Pokémon, so the labor costs are relatively lower. This is simply a big order. Hearing this, the smile on Heath's face became even more enthusiastic.
To be honest, eight thousand yuan is nothing to Heath. Even if the profit margin of this order reaches 100%, allowing Heath to make a net profit of eight thousand, it is not a big deal for Heath. After all, Heath makes a lot of money every day, and it is naturally very easy to make this money. It’s just that making lunch boxes is a bit special. Heath can do it very quickly, and then he can close the business tomorrow and concentrate on accompanying Shirona on a date. Heath heard that a very good movie was released recently, and the ratings are also good, so Heath thought about going over to see it, and then he can go on a date with Shirona, why not?
"That's certainly no problem. Then may I ask when does your company plan to receive it? And where will it be delivered?" Heath asked enthusiastically. It was quite good to have such a big business. Although strictly speaking, Heath made no less than this every day, that was based on the business being open from morning to night, and the customer flow had to be maintained at a relatively high level. Of course, if Heath took out the ingredients in the food encyclopedia, he would naturally be able to achieve higher results. After all, the ingredients in the food encyclopedia could be said to be basically a no-cost business, and each one could make Heath a lot of money, but the number of people willing to spend money to buy the food in the food encyclopedia was relatively small. If Heath's food truck could be fixed in one place, then perhaps the business would be better, but Heath was running all over the world, so it was difficult to cultivate a fixed customer base. Of course, these problems were not a problem for Heath, as he was already earning a lot now.
"As for this, please just deliver it to the entrance of Yuhong Natural Forest Park next to Yuhong City. However, since our company is an ethnic company, most of the employees have some small requirements for the ingredients we use." The woman smiled politely. Heath raised his eyebrows after hearing this, but also expressed that he could understand and respect it. After all, in the world of Pokémon, there is not just one ethnic group. There are many ethnic minorities in this world. For example, the people in the Alola region are divided into fourteen ethnic groups, so there may be some differences in dining between different ethnic groups. This is a very normal thing. Let’s take a particularly well-known ethnic minority in the previous life as an example. They don’t eat pork.
There are similar ethnic groups in the world of Pokémon.
"Most of the employees in our company are from the Mengli ethnic group. They only eat specially processed fish and chicken and don't eat any other meat. To be honest, most restaurants outside rarely consider the issue of cooking oil. So we hope that the restaurant can buy the corresponding canned ingredients from the factory where our company specializes in canning, and then use those cans to cook." The woman said with a smile, and Heath's face became indifferent as he listened. He laughed and motioned for the other party to get out, otherwise he would call the police. Seeing Heath's tough attitude, the woman didn't say anything, but turned around and left.
They walked very fast, as if they were worried that Heath would really call the police. Heath was also speechless. He really didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing. After all, this was an old scam from some unknown era. Only people working in the catering industry would be likely to encounter it. As for what these people did, they were actually very ordinary. They would pretend to be here to order food, and then they would be big customers, ordering a lot at a time. This is definitely a big business for some small restaurants, so the boss would be very concerned. Then the things given by the other party could be checked, and it looked very formal and legitimate. And the money given was not a small amount. Just when the boss was happy, the other party began to make requests, such as going to a specific place to find a specific person to buy canned food.
Some of these guys even deliberately make up a story that they are purchasing staff of some nearby public department in order to increase their credibility. If they see that the boss is hesitant at this time, they will leave with regret and say that they will go to another store to place an order. If the other party does not stop them, they will go to another store to cheat. If the other party stops them, they can still pretend to chat with them and then let the boss order the canned food.
But if you really place an order, you will find out the next day after the order is made that there is no such thing. The company has no idea that they will need so many lunch boxes. Then you want to contact the scammers, you will find out that they didn't even leave any mobile phone numbers, or the WeChat accounts they left have been blocked. Such scams are actually not uncommon in this world, but Heath didn't expect to run into one himself. It really makes people at a loss as to what to say.
However, in addition to this basic scam, there is actually another type of scam. It is not entirely correct to call it a scam. They are more like pranks or pure malice. Those people will also come to order lunch boxes, and they order quite a lot, but they will not ask to buy any canned food or go to a specific place to buy vegetables. They will only give a seat and then leave. When the boss sends it over, he finds that no one takes it, and then he is blocked. The other party does not pay, so the boss has to find a way to deal with these lunch boxes himself. However, this scam is easier to see through. People who give a deposit and then shirk responsibility definitely have problems .
"These days, the scammers have already cheated me, and they still want 540 lunch boxes?" Heath smiled and shook his head. It was not easy to catch that kind of guy. After all, the scammer had not yet succeeded, and usually committed crimes while on the run. Although Heath could also control the other party, he had not thought of this at the moment.
