I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 229: One Day’s Profit

As the number of guests increased, the few hired waiters gradually couldn’t keep up, so Wei Xin, along with his girlfriend Zhou Xiaoqian and others, also went to help.

Of course, despite being busy, they were all very excited. The occupancy rate reached as high as seventy percent, and even peaked at eighty percent, with less than ten tables empty.

You know, the evening business of a hotpot restaurant is generally better than noon.

In the afternoon, the number of guests decreased, but after five o’clock, it started to increase again, with a maximum of only four tables without guests.

This busy scene continued until ten at night, when the last table of guests finally left.

"Phew! We’re done!"

Wei Xin and the others wiped the sweat off their foreheads, but excitement was still evident on their faces.

"Senior Sister Hu, what was today’s profit?" Wang Yuchen couldn’t help asking.

Everything was calculated by computer, and Hu Congrong was proficient in finance, able to roughly figure out today’s actual profit!

Although they didn’t know yet, they were sure the profit wasn’t low today!

Everyone looked at Hu Congrong expectantly, even Qin Yun was watching, wanting to know the general situation.

After a wait, Hu Congrong finally finished calculating, smiling as she said, "The hotpot restaurant opened a bit after ten in the morning and closed at ten at night, twelve hours in total. After deducting various expenses, staff salaries, etc., the net profit is roughly 4,900!"

Hearing this number, everyone got even more excited.

"Four thousand nine hundred, nearly five thousand in profit!"

"That’s a monthly profit of 150,000!"

They were thrilled; clearly, this investment was a success!

A monthly profit of 150,000, a total investment of 850,000, at this rate, it would only take half a year to break even!

Hu Congrong also had a smile on her face as she continued, "And according to our previous inquiries, the guests are quite satisfied with the taste of the hotpot."

If the taste is good, there’s a chance they will return.

"So, there’s no doubt that our hotpot restaurant is a success!" she announced directly.

As soon as she spoke, everyone in the hotpot restaurant immediately started clapping, celebrating this success.

"Wow, a daily profit of five thousand, this is really profitable," Zhou Xiaoqian, Wei Xin’s girlfriend, and Li Dandan said with envy on their faces.

They certainly had some money, but were afraid to invest earlier.

After all, you never know how any business will turn out until it actually opens. If it fails, the investment would be lost.

If they had known it would be profitable, they would have participated.

Li Dandan glanced at Qin Yun, knowing that he had invested 400,000, almost half of the capital to open this hotpot restaurant, meaning he could receive nearly half of the profits.

With 4,900 today, Qin Yun could get more than 2,000.

As Li Dandan looked at Qin Yun, he was secretly thinking, "A monthly profit of more than ten thousand, it seems my financial luck isn’t that strong."

This hotpot restaurant spans 300 square meters, while his 40-square-meter clothing store has a monthly net profit of more than 200,000, far exceeding the hotpot restaurant. As for the more than 200-square-meter store, the net profit even reaches 1.2 million a month.

"Alright, today is just the first day. The hotpot restaurant has just started. Today’s success doesn’t guarantee it will always be like this, so we still need to manage it well and not relax at all!" Hu Congrong said with a smile.

"Got it!"

Wei Xin and the others nodded.

After chatting for a while, the partners finally left.

...

"It seems my hotpot seasoning worked quite well."

Qin Yun was driving Yu Leyao home, and she was clearly in a good mood.

Hearing this, Qin Yun smiled and said, "Didn’t you seem very confident before?"

"Not at all?"

Yu Leyao chuckled, "Actually, I was quite nervous. After all, everyone’s taste is different."

As they talked, Qin Yun was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.

"Squad leader, I have something to do, could you take a cab home by yourself?" he said directly.

Seeing Qin Yun’s sudden change in expression, Yu Leyao didn’t say much. She nodded and got out of the car by the roadside.

"Send me a message when you get home," Qin Yun reminded. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Alright." Yu Leyao nodded.

She knew Qin Yun’s personality, and if there was something he wanted to tell her, he would do so on his own, so she didn’t ask further.

After Yu Leyao left, Qin Yun parked the car and got out.

Moments ago, his expression had changed because he saw a familiar figure on the street: Hu Shanshan!

Next to Hu Shanshan was a man.

"Sir, would you like to buy a balloon?"

Not far away, a girl about the same age as Qin Yun approached, holding several colorful balloons in her hand.

"Sorry, I’m not buying." Qin Yun was looking around, uninterested in talking to the girl, shaking his head to refuse.

Upon hearing this, the girl didn’t persist and moved aside to sell balloons.

She had just a few more balloons left and planned to go home if they didn’t sell.

At this moment, Qin Yun glanced around and stopped at a spot. It was a restaurant far away, but Qin Yun’s eyesight was excellent; he could clearly see the situation inside. There were two people.

The man was serving food to the woman, who was Hu Shanshan!

Seeing this, Qin Yun’s expression changed further.

Hu Shanshan was his cousin Qin Xiaotao’s girlfriend. Now she was dining with someone else, and that person even served her food. What did this mean?

Thinking briefly, Qin Yun suddenly looked at the girl selling balloons and approached her.

"Sir, would you like to buy a balloon?" Seeing Qin Yun approach, the girl tentatively asked again.

"Yes, I’ll buy all these balloons," Qin Yun said.

"Alright, sir."

Hearing this, the girl got excited and quickly said, "These balloons are two yuan each, total ten yuan for five."

Qin Yun directly scanned the QR code to pay.

Balloon sold, the girl was about to leave, but Qin Yun stopped her.

"I need you to help me with something, and I’ll pay you three hundred yuan after it’s done," Qin Yun said.

"Three hundred yuan?" Hearing his words, the girl cautiously asked, "What do you need my help with?"

She pondered if this guy had any bad intentions.

But she thought she looked quite ordinary, and Qin Yun was tall and handsome, unlikely to have any interest in her.

"It’s simple. There’s a restaurant over there, on the left, near the wall. There are two people: a man in black and a woman in a red down jacket.

Go there and listen to them talk, but don’t let them notice. You can also order food, listening while eating. I’ll cover your expenses. After they leave, come back and tell me what they said."

Looking at the girl, Qin Yun said seriously.
