Chapter 192 Business Experience
Chapter 192 Business Experience
The next day, Gu Rao and Bieye got up early in the morning. After a simple breakfast, they opened the door for business. As soon as the door opened, customers came.
Perhaps it was because it was not open yesterday and the customers who did not eat yesterday had some revenge consumption today and were much more generous than before.
I ordered some milk tea, desserts and mochi.
Business was good all morning.
At the end of the day, the shop was finally not so busy. The shop was guarded by Bieye, while Gu Rao went out to attend a gathering.
-
Gao Caitong waited for a long time and said, "I have some free time today. It's too boring to talk in the store. Let's go to Yunlailou to have dinner and talk."
"I'm going to be a host today."
Gu Rao shook his head.
"I've already had lunch, and I'm not hungry yet. Besides, I have some issues with the shopkeeper of Yunlailou, so I won't go to that restaurant for dinner."
Gao Caitong was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became a little embarrassed.
"I didn't know you had any issues with Manager Zhou before, and he probably didn't remember your name, so he also registered it."
"Fortunately, the registration hasn't started yet. His money will be confiscated. If you don't want to teach him, I just won't notify him of the registration time."
Gu Rao didn't expect this development.
“Why not make money if you have it?”
"He can't make money from me, but I can make money from him. I still have to inform him about the registration. I just don't know if he wants to continue studying after seeing me."
"When registering, I made an agreement with those students in advance. After paying the tuition, no matter whether they go to study or not, the registration fee will not be refunded."
Gao Caitong, "..."
Although I don't know what the feud between Gu Rao and Zhou Zheng is, it would be okay if Zhou Zheng didn't remember Gu Rao, but if Zhou Zheng still remembered her, he probably wouldn't want to continue studying with her.
He could already imagine Zhou Zheng's expression as if you had eaten a fly.
Couldn't the last added rule, which states that tuition fees cannot be refunded, have been formulated specifically for Zhou Zheng?
Gu Rao saw Gao Caitong looking at her with a strange expression, and knew where he was thinking, and explained, "Although part of me did want to tease him, even without him, this rule must be explained to those people in advance. of."
"Otherwise, after some people study for a period of time, they become too lazy to continue studying. What should they do if they ask me to refund their tuition fees?"
"Wasn't the time spent teaching them was wasted?"
After thinking for a while, he added, "For the sake of fairness, they can have a three-day trial study opportunity. If they don't want to continue studying within three days, they can choose to refund the tuition. Once it exceeds three days, they will be eligible for a semester regardless of whether they have studied or not." If you are full, you will not be refunded any tuition fees.”
In this way, it seems that Zhou Zheng cannot be teased, because Zhou Zheng can choose to refund the tuition the moment he sees her.
Although it was a bit regretful, Gu Rao also knew that the overall situation should be the most important thing.
The little holiday with Zhou Zheng was all a trivial matter that happened a long time ago when Chen Guzi rotted sesame seeds. If it weren't for Gao Caitong today, she probably would never have thought of it in her life.
Gao Caitong's big mung bean eyes lit up.
"This is a good rule!"
"Although I have shown them the addition formula, they still don't know your strength. Some people are hesitant because of this. With this regulation, some people who still have doubts don't have to worry about spending a lot of money in vain. ”
"Hurry up and sit down and talk."
Gu Rao sat down.
Gao Caitong quickly ordered the waiter to serve tea and cakes.
Gu Rao tasted a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and then said, "I plan to use a quarter, that is, three months as a semester, and divide the year into two semesters. I will pay one year's tuition at a time, which is one tael of silver. One semester's tuition is six hundred yuan."
"how do you feel?"
Gao Caitong said, "The idea you mentioned of dividing the year into two semesters is very good, but is the tuition fee of only one tael of silver a year too little?"
"What if they learn what you teach them in one year, wouldn't it mean that each of them can only earn one tael of silver?"
People who want to seriously learn arithmetic are usually businessmen, which inherently limits the group of people they can make money from, not to mention that they should only be able to earn money from people who want to learn arithmetic in Yeboar Town and surrounding villages.
Yezhu Town is neither big nor small.
Let's not talk about whether he can recruit fifty people in the end. Even if he does, if the tuition fee is one tael per person, wouldn't fifty people only earn fifty taels a year?
It’s almost the same as the rent of a house!
You can't make a penny, and you're still wasting a year of time and energy teaching students arithmetic. So, the school is just for charity?
Gu Rao also thought of this belatedly and realized that he had thought of things too simply.
"If we can recruit two hundred people..."
Gao Caitong's mouth twitched.
"It shouldn't be possible to recruit two hundred people. Even if we recruit two hundred people, renting a house for fifty taels a year will only bring in a total income of one hundred and fifty taels a year."
"I get thirty taels of silver a year, but you only get one hundred and twenty taels of silver a year."
"You have worked hard for a year and only earned so little?"
Gu Rao felt a little guilty.
She opened this school just to make some spare money and increase her income. She can earn 120 taels of silver a year from her side job, which is actually quite satisfying.
But Gao Caitong has been busy for so long, and then when he has no time, he has to teach the students on his behalf, and only gets thirty taels of silver a year, which is a bit unjustifiable.
An ordinary person would be satisfied with thirty taels a year, but Gao Caitong's pawnshop makes a lot of money, so he should look down on these thirty taels.
"I may not have made it clear to you, but I plan to implement a five-day-one-day-off system, and I will also have additional days off on holidays."
"Moreover, there is only one class a day, and each class lasts only half an hour. Sometimes it is in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon."
"It is somewhat inappropriate to set the tuition fee too high to spend so little time teaching them."
Gao Caitong didn't take it seriously.
"What's inappropriate? Not to mention that the arithmetic you teach has never been seen before. No one knows it except you. It is your unique secret. If I buy your unique secret alone, it will only cost a few hundred taels." I can’t get over a thousand taels of silver!”
"You charge cheaply and teach them step by step. It's already cheap."
"Besides, doing business requires being bold and calculating. If the profit is less than double, there is really nothing to do."
"Only the small traders will keep their meager profits."
"We have to take a long-term view."
Gu Rao, "..."
Gao Caitong looks honest and honest. Only after getting in touch with him deeply can he realize that there is a thousand-year-old fox living under his honest skin.
Sure enough, businessmen who can grow their business and own their own pawnshops and other industries are not ordinary people. They all have their own business experience.
Compared with them, I am honest.
Gao Caitong continued, "I don't point out how much money I earn in the school, and I'm not short of this amount. The reason why I say this is for your consideration, master."
"Think about it again."
Gu Rao decided to leave this problem to Gao Caitong and said, "Then let's raise it a little higher. What do you think the tuition fee should be?"
