Me too I never expected this job to be so tough. My arms feel like theyre going to break after just one day, Gao Ming said wearily.
Qiao Mei held up the money box and said, Arent you curious about how much money we made?
Let me do it! At the mention of money, Xia He immediately perked up. She took the box and counted the money carefully.
Everyones eyes were on Xia He. After two minutes, Xia He said in shock, Oh my goodness! We made 8,000 dollars!
What! How can it be so much! Auntie Wang said excitedly.
After deducting the cost of ingredients and Alices commission, as well as labor fees, they had made a net profit of at least 7,000 dollars today. Moreover, they were sold out by the afternoon. This meant that they could make at least 210,000 dollars a month!
Gao Ming could not believe his ears. This was an astonishing amount of money. He had never even made so much money from his business in Sky City. It was already good enough if he did not lose money.
We can open chain stores after a while! Were going to be rich! Gao Ming said.
But we cant let others know our secret recipe! Xia He said with a troubled expression.
We dont need to run a chain, we should just sell the finished products! If we sell frozen dumplings, wouldnt it be more convenient for everyone if they can just buy them to cook at home? Qiao Mei suggested.
None of them had ever imagined that dumplings could be sold like this. At the current moment, the only fast food available were hamburgers and sandwiches. Frozen food was a completely new thing. Qiao Mei had long been eyeing this business opportunity, but she did not have any ideas about how to start. Now that Gao Ming had joined her, she would be able to get double the results with half the effort.
This is a good idea! In the future, our products can be sold all over the world! Moreover, well be able to keep our recipe a secret! I know where to find machines so that we dont need so much manpower, but the raw ingredients
that might be a problem. Gao Ming looked at Qiao Mei hesitantly.
Gao Ming had already gone around to take a look at Qiao Mei t s farm. The crops and animals in the farm were only enough to meet the needs of the small towns residents. If they wanted to expand to the entire Country M, they would need more farms.
It was best if they could make money together. Qiao Mei would supply the ingredients while he would be in charge of production and export. It was such a wonderful idea! This could even become a family business!
I dont intend to stay here for long, but I can leave the seeds behind. At that time, Ill hire people to manage the farm and just come to take a look every year, Qiao Mei said.
You dont intend to stay here? Are you going back? Gao Ming asked.
Yes, Ill go back once I graduate, Qiao Mei replied to him frankly.
Her real home was in the capital. She had only come here because of Xia Zhe. Once everything was over, they would eventually have to return to their hometown. They could not stay in Country M for the rest of their lives.
Gao Ming remained silent. He was born in Country M and did not have the same kind of feelings for Hu City. However, he completely understood where Qiao Mei was coming from. At the end of the day, everyone would want to return to where they came from.
How about this! When we make money, well split it 30-70! Ill take 30% and you take 70%! We can discuss the details later! Gao Ming said.
Qiao Mei had thought that Gao Ming would suggest splitting the profits
50-50. She did not expect him to be so willing to give them such a big cut. Qiao Mei did not really care about this income stream. She had already handed the farm over to Xia He. The two of them could finalize the details themselves. However, the 30-70 split which Gao Ming had mentioned was definitely not the way to go.
After discussing what they needed to replenish tomorrow, everyone went to their rooms to rest. Qiao Mei had agreed to give Auntie Wang and the rest a cut of the profits. They would make 10 cents for each dumpling they made, which meant 100 dumplings were worth 10 dollars! Auntie Wang made them so fast that she could produce 2,000 dumplings a day and earn an additional 200 dollars a day! Everyone was inspired to work even harder!
The next day, even before the shop opened, there was already a long queue at the door. Everyone had woken up early to get in line.
Everyone, youre really too early! We only open at 10! How about this, Ill give out number tags to everyone. Were only selling 600 portions a day! You can come and collect your order using the number tag! Qiao Mei shouted.
Thats really too little! Can you sell more! Your dumplings are really too delicious! someone in the queue shouted.
We have limited manpower and we cant make so many! Im really sorry!
Tomorrow! Well sell another 100 portions tomorrow! Qiao Mei shouted..
