After being comforted by Li Dong, Qin Yuhan felt much better.
Since they were in the car, Li Dong did not ask much.
After getting out of the car, he looked up at the name on the signboard in front of him. Li Dong finally understood what Qin Yuhan meant when she said it was a loss.
Dongyu Dessert House.
Li Dong realized that Qin Yuhan's naming skills were actually not that good. Her whole family liked to use people's names as the name of the shop.
After looking at it for a while, Li Dong asked, "Did you open it?"
Qin Yuhan nodded, and her face was slightly flushed.
Li Dong stood at the door and glanced at the shop. It was not big, but the decorations were very warm.
Of course, this was relative. Pink wallpaper was not Li Dong's cup of tea. There were probably not many guys who could accept it.
However, the dessert business was mainly for girls, so there was nothing wrong with the decorations.
The environment was good, and the location was not bad.
The only drawback was that there were too few people. There were more than a dozen tables in the shop, but almost all of them were empty.
In business, the environment was not important. The location was not important, but the popularity was fundamental.
If there were no customers, it was useless no matter how good the environment was.
Li Dong finally knew why Qin Yuhan was losing money. If business was like this every day, it would be impossible not to lose money.
After looking at it for a while, Qin Yuhan led Li Dong into the shop.
When a few girls who were sitting and chatting saw Qin Yuhan and Li Dong, they quickly chattered, "Manager, you're here."
"Yuhan, have you eaten?"
"Sister Yuhan, is this your boyfriend?"
"…"
Qin Yuhan and the girls laughed together, but Li Dong frowned slightly.
Of course, the frown only lasted for a moment. Soon, Li Dong's face was full of smiles.
But in his heart, he sighed. With Qin Yuhan like this, how could she not lose money?
Regardless of whether there was business or not, employees shouldn't sit together and chat. What's more, everyone was already used to it.
Even when he saw the boss, he didn't take it seriously, and the boss himself didn't even take it seriously. This was a very big problem.
Also, although being a boss and getting along well with the employees was beneficial in strengthening the employees' sense of belonging, the concept of hierarchy was still necessary.
From the way she addressed Qin Yuhan just now, it could be seen that Qin Yuhan had no concept of being a boss at all. Her employees called her by her name, so how could she have any prestige?
These thoughts flashed through Li Dong's mind, but seeing Qin Yuhan smiling happily, Li Dong was relieved.
It's just a small shop. It's fine if I lose money, as long as I'm happy.
Although he didn't know why Qin Yuhan wanted to open a store, since Qin Yuhan had this idea, Li Dong fully supported it.
No matter how much the dessert shop lost, it wouldn't be enough for Li Dong to earn in a day.
As he was thinking, someone behind him suddenly said, "Li Dong, when did you get here?"
Li Dong looked back. Qi Fangfang and the other two were standing at the door, stomping their feet and panting. Seeing him turn around, Zhang Mengmeng smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Li Dong, are you here to spend Christmas with Sister Yuhan?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "I just got off the plane. It's just in time for Christmas."
Qi Fangfang saw that he wasn't wearing much, so she panted and asked, "Isn't the weather in Pingchuan cold? It's freezing in Beijing, and I don't want to go out. "
"It's alright. It's not as cold as Beijing," Li Dong replied.
The few of them chatted for a while, and Qin Yuhan also sent the girls away and walked over.
Seeing everyone standing at the door, she quickly said, "Come in and sit."
Saying that, she shouted to the girl at the counter, "Yuanyuan, two cups of double skin milk, one cup of papaya sago, and one cup of mango milk shake. I want them all hot."
After saying that, she asked Li Dong, "Li Dong, what would you like to drink?"
"Anything, I'm not picky."
"Coconut milk?"
"Sure."
"Yuanyuan, another cup of coconut milk."
"Okay!"
The few of them chatted as they found a place to sit.
As soon as they sat down, Qin Yuhan asked Qi Fangfang and the others, "Didn't you guys want to study? Why are you here now? "
Qi Fangfang said, "We haven't seen you all morning, so we came to take a look. We didn't expect Li Dong to come. If we had known, we wouldn't have interrupted the two of you. "
Qin Yuhan rolled her eyes and ignored her.
Li Dong smiled and didn't mind. He asked, "When did the shop open?"
Speaking of the dessert house, Qin Yuhan's eyes were a little sad. She said softly, "It opened on the eleventh."
Li Dong laughed and said, "Well, you still hid it from me. Did you want to give me a surprise?"
Qin Yuhan pursed her lips and said with some disappointment, "I was going to give you a surprise, but then …"
Needless to say, Li Dong also knew that she suffered a loss. How could this girl still have the nerve to mention this to him?
The reason why she told him this time was that she couldn't bear it anymore. She felt sad and wanted to find someone to talk to.
Li Dong comforted her with a smile, "If it's a loss, then it's a loss. What's there to be sad about? In business, it's either a loss or a profit. No one can guarantee that they will make money."
Qin Yuhan pouted and muttered, "You didn't suffer a loss."
She was ambitious to compete with Li Dong before.
But who knew that the reality was so cruel. Seeing how easy it was for Li Dong to make money, she thought that she could also make money. Maybe she would open branches all over the capital like Li Dong.
In the end, she was greatly disappointed. Not to mention that she didn't make money, she almost lost all her capital.
Seeing that she was competing with him, Li Dong thought for a while and knew what this girl was thinking. He shook his head and said, "In this world, there is no profit without loss. I am not a god, and I also suffered a loss."
"Really?"
Qin Yuhan was skeptical. She felt that Li Dong's words were said casually to comfort her.
Not to mention that she didn't believe it, Qi Fangfang and the others didn't believe it either. Qi Fangfang asked curiously, "Li Dong, you really suffered a loss?"
Li Dong said impatiently, "Nonsense, do you think that doing business is really that simple? Money can come easily. How can there be such a good thing in the world? "
"So you also suffered a loss …"
Seeing that Li Dong said seriously, the girls couldn't help but murmur.
Li Dong was speechless. What were these girls thinking?
As if it was unbelievable that he suffered a loss. Did they really think he was a god?
Of course, to be honest, Li Dong really didn't suffer a loss. He was talking about the current price war. Losing money was just a side effect. Li Dong's real purpose was to make more money.
However, in order to comfort Qin Yuhan, who was hit by a blow, Li Dong didn't mind destroying his own myth.
Just as the girls were still digesting the meaning of Li Dong's words, the shop assistant came over with a few cups of drinks.
Li Dong took the coconut milk and drank a mouthful. As a result, he almost spat it out as soon as it entered his mouth.
Glancing at the shop assistant who hadn't left, Li Dong coughed and said, "It's so cold. Didn't you heat it?"
The shop assistant smiled sweetly and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm really sorry. The heating machine is broken. We are looking for someone to repair it."
Li Dong's mouth twitched and he didn't say anything. This business, it would be strange if there was business!
This is the boss coming to drink drinks. Can't you think of other ways if the heating machine is broken?
Microwave, hot water, these can't be used?
Even the boss can be fooled like this, let alone other customers.
On such a cold day, there must be something wrong with their brains to drink cold drinks. Li Dong secretly shook his head.
Seeing that Qin Yuhan was about to drink, Li Dong quickly stopped her. "It's too cold. Don't drink it."
A smile appeared on Qin Yuhan's face. She smiled and didn't continue to drink.
Qi Fangfang tested the temperature and frowned. "Yuanyuan, the heating machine is broken. Didn't you find someone to repair it?"
"I called a long time ago, but the master said that the road was icy in the morning. He can only come in the afternoon." The shop assistant said with a wronged expression.
Qi Fangfang shook her head and didn't say anything. Zhou Yue said unhappily, "Then complain to them. This broken machine has been bought for less than three months, and it has broken several times!"
Seeing that she was angry, Qin Yuhan quickly said, "Forget it. It's not easy for them. The road was indeed icy in the morning."
With Qin Yuhan taking the blame, the others stopped thinking about it.
Li Dong was speechless. 'This boss is so easy to talk to. It's obvious that he's losing money.'
However, he didn't care. He could do whatever he wanted because he was rich. He let Qin Yuhan do whatever she wanted.
He didn't care, but Qin Yuhan did. She frowned again and said, "Li Dong, do you think I'm not cut out for business? I've only been open for less than three months. Other than the two to three thousand in the first month, I've lost twenty thousand in the last two months."
"Only twenty thousand?"
Qi Fangfang and the rest almost choked when Li Dong said that.
What did he mean by 'only twenty thousand'?
Was it okay to act so real?
Li Dong smiled awkwardly when he saw them staring at him. "Didn't Yuhan say that we lost more than a hundred thousand? It's only twenty thousand now. We've still made a profit."
Qin Yuhan rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Is this how you calculate the accounts?"
"Moreover, I'm telling the truth when I said that we lost more than a hundred thousand." Qin Yuhan said angrily, "I was cheated when I first opened the shop. The machine seller introduced me a bunch of machines that I couldn't use. In the end, the machines were too big. I couldn't fit them in the shop, and I had to rent a small warehouse to store them. I'm so mad!"
"That's right. People nowadays are too greedy!"
"Yuhan is so silly. You believe everything he says. If I were you, I'd definitely take a look at it myself."
A few girls began to discuss in a few words, denouncing the machine seller who had disappeared a long time ago.
Li Dong was speechless. How could they be cheated? He could only say that these girls were too naïve.
'You're just a dessert shop that's dozens of square meters. You have a large oven and a cake production line. You're obviously looking for trouble.'
Li Dong was too lazy to discuss with these girls. He picked up the menu on the table and took a look.
Li Dong broke down completely after he took a look.
It would be intolerable if he did not lose money!
A glass of apple juice: 16 yuan.
A glass of lemon juice: 18 yuan.
…
Li Dong was dumbfounded just by looking at the price of these juices. This was 2005.
Moreover, East Rain Dessert House was targeted at students. A glass of juice could easily cost ten to twenty yuan. Who would buy it?
That was not all. There were even some health series stews on the menu.
These things were even more expensive. There were seventy to eighty-one servings everywhere. These girls did not treat money as money.
No matter how great the Capital University was, it was just a university. It was not some high-end community. Which student would have nothing to do here to drink stews?
Not to mention other things, Qin Yuhan's dessert house was aimed at the wrong target audience.
Li Dong shook his head secretly. Students were students.
Even if they were students from a school like the Capital University, it was impossible for them to achieve success in one step without doing anything.
Success was not by chance. Except for people like him, there were only a few people who could really set foot on the road to success.
