Volume 1 Chapter 0078: Even if innocent, he should be killed
Fang Mengyin and Nan Ruoyin stayed in Wenchangwei until the tenth day, and returned to Xiangkeng on the morning of the eleventh day.
Nan Yi was not in a hurry to return to the capital and stayed in Wenchangwei.
On the Lantern Festival, the gate of the South House was knocked.
When Nan Yi opened the gate, he saw Men San'er, who looked exhausted, standing outside the door.
"Uncle Nan, there are a total of 4,000 editions, all here." Men Saner patted an oil paper bag that was neither too big nor too high and said.
"Thank you for your hard work. How did you get here?"
"Taking the train is very exhausting. I don't feel at ease I arrive at a major station or a temporary stop, I will go to the freight car to take a look."
"Haha, freight cars are not easy to steal. You are asking for trouble."
"Well, there's nothing I can do. Thinking that this package of things may be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in the future, how can I not be careful? Master Nan, tell me where to put it. I'll carry it over with you." Men San'er patted the oil paper bag again and said.
"No need to lift it, just put it here. I estimated that you will arrive around this time. I have already made arrangements with Xiangkeng, and a truck will be here to transport it in two hours."
"Why, why not put it here, put it in the incense burner?"
"Well, I figured that there are only a few days of people here throughout the year, so it's safer to send it to Hong Kong. We can store this thing in HSBC's vault. If it gets lost, they'll have to compensate us."
"Do you want to pay for the care?"
"Don't ask me about this. It won't cost much. I'll pay for it."
"Okay, then I won't ask."
Men San'er thought that when Master Nan said that he was the only one who would pay for this deal, he was just talking. Master Nan must have also spent money in places that he couldn't see, so he wouldn't take advantage of him.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, let's make some Lantern Festival dumplings to eat. Forget about the small ones, they need to be dried in the sun, and there's no time to make them, so let's make some big ones to eat."
"What is the Big Yuanxiao? I've never heard of it."
"Simply put, it's glutinous rice balls, sesame-filled glutinous rice balls."
"Well, why don't you just say it's glutinous rice balls?"
"For good luck."
They said they wanted to ask Men San'er for help, but he couldn't do anything and the only thing he could do was chat with Nan Yi.
While rolling the glutinous rice balls, Nan Yi asked, "I asked you to find someone who knows about antiques, but it's been almost a year and a half and there's still no sign of success?"
"Master Nan, it's not that I don't care, it's just that it's hard to find. You require someone with good eyesight and a family. I found such a person, but he is not willing to work with us."
"Okay, keep looking around. You, Weimin and I will do the antique business together. I'll take 50, he'll take 20, and you'll take 30. It's just right. When you return to the capital, you can take my 700,000 with him."
"You mean I'll pay three hundred thousand?"
"For now, I don't know how long one million will last. It's similar to stamps, and it's also a long-term business, but the profit will be greater."
"Okay, then I'll take out 300,000."
"Don't worry about whether you want to take it or not. The money is with you first. When you find a good buyer, you can start the business. If you can't find one, then the whores will go on strike. Stop it."
"You don't need to provoke me. I will definitely hurry up and look for it. If I can't find one in the first half of this year, I will go and bring one back for you."
"Don't say anything nonsense, just hurry up."
"Hey." Men Saner nodded and said, "Master Nan, should we start a restaurant business?"
"Open one, or several?"
"Let's start with one family first and try our luck."
"Your brain is much more active than before. You have also thought of the restaurant business. It is indeed a good idea to open a restaurant now. It is harder than climbing to the sky to have a meal in Beijing now.
There are a lot of state-owned restaurants all over the place. The dishes are monotonous, the waiters have sad faces and are indifferent to customers. The prices are also high, with a table costing at least twenty or thirty yuan.
If we open a restaurant for the common people at this time, the business will definitely be good.”
"Yeah, I thought this was a good deal." Men Saner said proudly.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Wait until I finish what I want to say." Nan Yi glared at Men San'er and continued, "We can't hire workers. Can you cook? Can you be a waiter?"
"Master Nan, since you said this is a good deal, you must have a way to make it work."
"There is a way, but how much revenue can you expect from just opening a store and being busy all day? With four tables, even if we turn over tables at mealtime, the maximum revenue can be two or three hundred a day.
The profit is 60%, which is 3618. Once the salary is paid, it is 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a month. It is not a small amount for others, but a little less for us.
If you just pay the money and don't have to worry about anything, then this business is still interesting.
But no matter what, can this business continue?
Let's talk about the issue of hiring workers. It is indeed possible to circumvent it by getting a self-employed business license for each chef and waiter, and then saying that your store is not actually just one but several.
The chef sells nine-turn large intestine and Beijing-style shredded pork, and the waiters sell fried noodles with soybean sauce and so on. Isn't it because everyone is short of money that they rent the same store together?
Hire a few people and get a few licenses. As long as no one is watching you, the problem of hiring workers can be circumvented for the time being.
But if any of the people you hire turns traitor, you will be in trouble. If you are not careful, the store will be taken away from you."
"Master Nan, what do you mean?" Men Saner asked.
"Wait, wait until the government relaxes the labor regulations. Once this business is established, how can I handle it by myself? Hiring people is an unavoidable problem.
Go back and find a copy of Capital and read Volume 1, Part 3, Chapter 9, "The Rate and Amount of Surplus Value." You will understand after reading it.
Men San'er clapped his hands and said, "Well, I can't read such a big book. I'd better wait for the wind to blow over. Master Nan, when can you tell me when we can start, I will start."
"Well, I'll tell you when the time comes. But let me tell you first that I won't get involved in the restaurant business."
"Master Nan, you don't think this business is a good idea?"
"No, I think it's good, but there are too many troubles, I don't like the trouble. There was a proverb that goes like this: even if you are innocent, you should be killed."
"I've heard of this. We are not in ancient times. We are doing legitimate business."
"What I mean is that restaurants are troublesome places. If someone comes to steal your food, finds bugs in your food, treats your restaurant as a fighting arena, or simply runs away without paying, or even goes to the government, they are all trouble."
If he had a choice, Nan Yi would not want to get involved in the catering industry because there are too many problems.
"I don't mind the trouble, as long as I can make money."
"Then wait for my notice. Don't just open one restaurant. Open several restaurants directly. Take up all the good locations in Beijing. When you return to Beijing, you can start looking for houses. Also, start looking for chefs. Good chefs are not easy to find."
"Okay, I'll get started when I get back."
"Find a few reliable people to help you. We have a lot of things to do, and we can't just rely on temporary help. Find a few smart people who don't get into trouble outside, and bring them with you to make money."
Men Saner said, "There are suitable people. In the past, I paid them on a return basis. I paid them for each favor they gave me. I will go back and talk to them about paying them on an annual basis and then give them some dividends."
"Can."
