The girls were denouncing the scammer, but Li Dong did not get involved.
However, the girls soon changed the topic to him. Qi Fangfang asked, "Li Dong, you must have some tricks to your business since it's so big. Can you teach us?"
Qin Yuhan's eyes lit up, but she did not say anything.
She wanted to ask Li Dong, but she was too embarrassed to do so. After all, her original goal was to surpass Li Dong.
To be honest, she did not have that idea anymore.
However, East Rain Dessert House was the result of her hard work. She did everything herself, be it renting, renovating, opening, or managing.
In order to run this dessert house well, Qin Yuhan devoted almost all of her spare time to it.
However, the reality was cruel. Qin Yuhan had cried countless times when she saw the shop operating at a loss every day.
The reason why Qin Yuhan asked Li Dong to come this time was because she had some hope.
She did not want East Rain Dessert House to close down, but she did not want to continue losing money.
Li Dong did not care about her losing money, but Qin Yuhan could not accept it. It was more than 10,000 yuan a month, which was a huge loss for an ordinary person.
Zhang Mengmeng chimed in, "Brother Li Dong, tell us about it. Sister Yuhan has gone through so much just to get this shop."
Li Dong glanced at them and said slowly, "There's no trick to doing business. It depends on luck. I'm lucky, so I'm making money. You guys are losing money because you're unlucky. Winter is coming. "
"I'm being serious!"
Qin Yuhan could not help but yell. Could this guy be more reliable?
Qi Fangfang said unhappily, "Li Dong, can you not be so stingy? Are you afraid that you won't be able to control Yuhan in the future if she succeeds?"
Li Dong could not help but laugh. These women were trying to goad him into action.
However, he did not care. He smiled and continued, "Do you guys really want to listen to my opinion?"
The others quickly nodded.
Li Dong said unhurriedly, "Then I'll say it. However, this is only my opinion. It's up to you whether you want to listen or not."
"Say it!"
"That's right, how can a man be so dilly-dallying?"
"…"
Li Dong pursed his lips and said half-truthfully, "Then I'll say it. Actually, it's easy to not make a loss. You just need to do the following."
"First, fire all the employees in the shop!"
As soon as he said that, the women were stunned.
Fire all the employees?
Did making money have anything to do with firing employees?
Seeing their doubtful faces, Li Dong did not explain.
If all the employees in Qin Yuhan's shop didn't open, all the business would be ruined.
The boss was here, but the employees were still so lazy. If the boss wasn't here, what would happen?
Moreover, they had been sitting for so long. The drinks were cold, and no one said to heat them up. Not only that, there was not even a cup of hot water, and no one came up to ask the boss if he needed anything else.
If this had happened from afar, he would have been kicked out by Li Dong long ago.
It was not a big problem for a few people in a shop, but if all of them were like this, it meant that they were all useless.
Of course, this also had something to do with Qin Yuhan's attitude.
But Qin Yuhan was the boss. She was tolerant, but it did not mean that she could take advantage of others.
Seeing that they were still in a daze, Li Dong said with a smile, "I'm just saying. Don't take it seriously."
Qin Yuhan showed a look of struggle on her face. After a long time, she asked, "Do you have to do this?"
"That's not necessary. If the rules can be changed in the future, it's fine for everyone to stay if they can abide by it. But if they get used to it, they will get used to it. When the rules become stricter, I'm afraid that they will become enemies. "
What Li Dong said was very common.
Some companies were very lenient and indulgent to their employees at the beginning.
Later, when it was time to reorganize and set rules, these employees could not accept it. They felt that the company was inhumane and the boss was too cruel.
In fact, it was basic professional ethics to take the company's money and abide by the company's rules.
Just because you were used to being relaxed before, it did not mean that you could continue to be like this. The company did not owe you anything. Why should they support you for nothing?
Qin Yuhan and the others had little experience, so they might not understand this feeling for the time being.
Especially Qin Yuhan, who treated these employees as sisters. She felt that her sincerity would be rewarded.
But the truth was the opposite. Maybe these employees secretly scolded her for being stupid.
Qin Yuhan and the others did not speak. Seeing this, Li Dong said with a smile, "Forget it. Let's talk about something else."
"Go on!"
Qin Yuhan bit her lip and said reluctantly.
"You still want to say more?"
"Say it!"
"Okay, let's talk about the second point. All the prices will be halved."
"Isn't this a loss?"
"Yes, half price is a loss. Li Dong, what do you think?"
Li Dong glanced at them and said speechlessly, "What do I think? I haven't asked you what you think. Half price is a loss. Then the milk tea on the street that costs one or two yuan is not a loss. "
"I'm afraid your juice is all real juice, right? And I'm afraid it's the best fruit. You can walk around the street. Who would be so honest with you? "
Li Dong shook his head and said, "I'm not asking you to fake it. What used to be one cup, now diluted to three cups. It's not a big problem, right?"
The girls were a little confused. Could they do this?
Li Dong shook his head. These girls wanted to do business. If they did not hit their heads and bleed, they would never know what it meant to be a sly businessman.
It was not that every businessman was sly, but you get what you pay for.
Near the Capital University, this was the price that could be supported. It was useless no matter how good your goods were. No one cared about you.
If the price was lowered, in fact, compared to others, they would feel that they had picked up a bargain. This was a win-win result.
Li Dong did not talk nonsense and said, "Also, I don't know where you learned those health stews. Take them all away."
"Finally, no matter how good your goods are, no one will look at them if you don't advertise them. Look at you guys. Your popularity is so bad, and your advertising is not good. "
Speaking of this, Li Dong suddenly said, "In fact, dessert shops are really not popular. If it were me, I would rather open a spicy hot pot shop or a snack bar. Business is definitely better than dessert shops."
The girls looked at Li Dong foolishly, feeling that all the results had been denied by Li Dong.
Especially Qin Yuhan, she said with a wronged face, "But dessert shops are also good. There are several shops nearby, and their business is good."
"Then all the more you can't open them. They have the upper hand, and their business is good. Can you compete with them?"
Li Dong said it casually, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it.
Sure enough, as soon as he said it, Qi Fangfang said angrily, "What's wrong with us?"
Qin Yuhan also said indignantly, "Li Dong, are you looking down on us?"
Li Dong coughed and quickly interrupted, "I'm just kidding. In fact, dessert shops are good and promising. It's just that business is a little bad in winter. When summer comes, we can sell cold products and make a lot of money. "
"Humph!"
Qin Yuhan snorted, expressing her dissatisfaction.
In fact, when Li Dong finished speaking, Qin Yuhan was already regretting it. She felt that as Li Dong said, they took it for granted.
Business wasn't something that could be done with just imagination, but now Qin Yuhan had to hold on.
East Rain Dessert House was the work of her blood, sweat, and tears.
If she denied it completely, it would be like slapping her own face. Qin Yuhan already felt inferior to Li Dong, and if she denied herself again, she was afraid that she would not dare to face Li Dong in the future.
Li Dong also regretted it. He had already told himself not to talk too much, and not to talk too much.
But he just couldn't hold it in and said so much in a row.
If he hurt his wife's fragile heart, what would he do in the future?
Seeing Li Dong's bitter face, Qin Yuhan could not help but laugh, "Alright, stop pretending. We will take your opinion as a reference, but we may not necessarily listen to you."
"That's right!" Qi Fangfang said.
Li Dong rolled his eyes at her. 'I'm talking to my wife. Why are you interfering?'
Qi Fangfang glared back as if she knew what he was thinking. She said angrily, "Most of what you said is my opinion!"
"That's what I said!"
Li Dong seemed to have come to a sudden realization. 'I told you that Yuhan isn't that stupid. It's your rotten idea, you fujoshi.'
Qi Fangfang snorted and turned her head away angrily. She did not want to look at him.
Li Dong did not mind. He said with a smile, "Yuhan, we've been sitting here for so long. Let's go to the hotel first?"
"Pervert!"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Whoever answers me. It's broad daylight, and I'm so thirsty!"
Li Dong could not be bothered with her. He said to Qin Yuhan, "Let's go first. We'll talk about the shop later. It's off-season now, so there's no hurry."
Qin Yuhan thought about it and agreed. There was not much business during winter, and now that school holidays were coming, there was even less business.
It was the same whether the shop was reorganized or not.
Qin Yuhan thought about it and said, "I'll send you to the hotel then."
Qi Fangfang said angrily, "Can you two not do this? Are you just going to leave us here?"
"Nonsense, do you think I'll bring you there to admire it?"
"Li Dong!"
Qin Yuhan shouted the last sentence. Qin Yuhan's face was flushed as she said, "I'll ignore you if you talk nonsense again."
Li Dong forced a smile and said, "I'm not looking for trouble. You heard it too. Qi Fangfang is looking for trouble."
"Who's looking for trouble?!"
Qi Fangfang looked upset and said, "I've worked so hard to come up with an idea for Yuhan. Not only did you deny it completely, but you also left us here. How can you face me?"
Li Dong had never seen Qi Fangfang being so upset. He could not help but laugh out loud.
Seeing Qi Fangfang glaring at him, Li Dong said immediately, "Don't say anything. I'll treat you guys to a feast later, okay?"
"Really?"
"Really!"
"That's more like it." Qi Fangfang pouted and snorted.
Li Dong laughed and said goodbye to Zhou Yue and Zhang Mengmeng. Then, he pulled Qin Yuhan out of the dessert house.
Outside the house, the weather seemed to be even colder.
Seeing that the sky was not very good, Li Dong said with a sigh, "It's not going to snow, is it?"
"It should be. Do you like snow?" Qin Yuhan said casually.
"It's alright. It's quite interesting when it snows," Li Dong replied casually.
"Hehe, I wonder if it snows in America."
Li Dong turned his head to look and scratched his head. Why did he feel that there was a deeper meaning in her words?
