"Boss Zhang, we have been cooperating for half a year. I won't make any money from you this time. Your book doesn't have many words. I will print 20,000 copies for you for 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. What do you think?"
Boss Qiao thought for a moment and then said to Zhang Zhonghua.
"Then thank you very much, Boss Qiao. You can help me print 20,000 copies in Chinese and English. All must be hardcover. Don't worry about money. If the cost exceeds, I will add more money."
"No problem, but after it is printed, you will give me a few copies of your book as a souvenir! I like this book very much."
Boss Qiao said to Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.
"Of course that's no problem, but when the time comes you can number each book for me. Is that no problem?"
Zhang Zhonghua thought for a moment and continued.
Since it will not be sold to the public for the time being, and it will be given as a bonus and a lottery, then make the book a little taller and have each one numbered.
"Boss Zhang, this is interesting!"
Boss Qiao has also been in the business world for decades, so he naturally understands what Zhang Zhonghua means. Each book has a number, so each book becomes unique and even has a certain collection value. If CFC does enough in the future
Large, the value of this batch of numbered books will be greatly increased.
After the boss of the printing company, Qiao, discussed the printing matter, Zhang Zhonghua drove to Central, found the law firm where the company was registered last time, and spent 500 Hong Kong dollars to ask them to help register the copyright.
As long as the copyright of published books is registered, no matter in which country the work is registered and published, the intellectual property rights will be protected all over the world. In other member states, all member states give equal protection to the works of their own nationals.
It is especially convenient to do things here on Hong Kong Island. Not only can you do it for a little money, but also registering copyrights, patents, etc. on Hong Kong Island is equivalent to registering copyrights and patents in the UK, and it is also equivalent to registering in the entire Commonwealth of Nations.
, this is completely unmatched by other regions.
Time soon came to January 23, 1968, the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year.
Well, this is the Little New Year in the south, and the Little New Year in the north falls one day earlier on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.
But when you are in town, do as the Romans do. When you get to Hong Kong Island, follow the customs of the South.
Zhang Zhonghua was sitting in his office on the second floor of the Central Restaurant, looking at the CFC annual financial report in his hand, humming a cheerful ditty, and his face was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
It has been more than seven months since the CFC Causeway Bay store opened. Even if the population of Hong Kong Island has not increased significantly, the daily revenue has reached its peak. The average daily turnover is about 8,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the profit can reach 4
1,500 Hong Kong dollars, and the delivery turnover also exceeds 2,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Six months after the Central store opened, the store also reached its peak reception. The average daily turnover was 23,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the net profit was more than 15,000 Hong Kong dollars. At the same time, thanks to the relatively concentrated office buildings in Central,
The Central store's turnover from delivery alone is close to HK$8,000, which is close to the entire turnover of the Causeway Bay store.
The Island University of Hong Kong store has the shortest opening time line, only four and a half months, but within four and a half months, CFC has become the favorite restaurant of Hong Kong teachers and students.
Before the holidays, the average daily turnover was more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, the profit was as high as 6,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the delivery turnover was as high as 4,000 Hong Kong dollars. Although the HKU store is small, its profits are not bad.
Among the three stores, the Causeway Bay store that opened the earliest turned out to be the store with the worst profitability. However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Although the location of the Causeway Bay store is very good, it is completely incomparable with Central and HKU.
Now, the total number of employees under Zhang Zhonghua, plus the employees reserved for the opening of the new store, has exceeded the 200 mark in one fell swoop.
The total monthly profit deducts the monthly rent, labor, water, electricity, raw materials, tea fees paid to the police station and a small amount of protection fees. In the past month, the net profit of the three stores has reached more than 900,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Zhang Zhonghua started his business in June with hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. In just half a year, his monthly profit reached more than 900,000 Hong Kong dollars. Not to mention that even now, even 40 years later, this is a quite remarkable achievement.
"How lonely it is to be invincible, how empty it is to be invincible, standing alone in the cold wind..."
"Boss, I have arranged for people to pick up what you wrote and deliver it to various stores for guests to read for free. Many guests expressed that they like this book very much and asked if they could buy a copy and keep it for their collection."
Zheng Juan looked at her young boss with a somewhat complicated expression. She liked the song "My Heart Will Go" very much, and now this book is also deeply loved by her.
Especially listening to the music made Zheng Juan, a rational workaholic, a little moved. She once again lamented how big her boss's brain was. He was simply a pervert.
"Didn't I already tell you? Just like music, it is temporarily not available for sale to the public, and I don't like the money. At present, it can only be used as a gift after reaching the consumption limit, and as a prize in the event raffle!
By the way, the Spring Festival is coming soon, how are the preparations for the event going?"
Zhang Zhonghua said to Zheng Juan nonchalantly, compared with the expansion and future of CFC, what if it takes decades to sell tens of millions of copies?
negligible!
Hey ~ he is so arrogant!
"Okay boss, the plan has been made. Can you see if there is anything that needs to be changed?"
"By the way, how is the store in Taikoo Shing?"
"The renovation of the store in Taikoo Shing is nearing completion, and the staff has been trained. Once the equipment is installed after the year, we can start business directly."
"Well! You have to keep a closer eye over there. There are plans to branch out to other regions, and we have to start making preparations. When the situation of CFC in Hong Kong Island stabilizes, you will be the manager of the Hong Kong Island region."
Zheng Juan is fully capable of taking charge of the CFC company in the entire Hong Kong Island area. When she is comfortable in the position of Hong Kong Island District Manager, she can start trying to go out of Hong Kong Island. Zhang Zhonghua himself only needs to control the general direction.
"thank you boss!"
After Zheng Juan heard that Zhang Zhonghua wanted her to serve as CFC Hong Kong Island manager, she was so excited that she couldn't help herself.
According to her estimate, after CFC expands to the entire Hong Kong Island, the monthly profit will reach between 250 and 3 million, with nearly a thousand employees. This is something she could not even imagine before.
After sending Zheng Juan away, Zhang Zhonghua relied on the financial statements and lamented that the universities in Hong Kong were really bad. The winter vacation lasted for more than one month and the summer vacation lasted for more than three months. There were five winter and summer vacations in a year. This made Zhang Zhonghua
CFC earns nearly one million Hong Kong dollars less.
Zhang Zhonghua said, there should be no winter and summer vacations. You are all the future of Hong Kong Island. There are various holidays throughout the year, not counting weekends. Even if you still have five months of rest, if the donkeys of the production team dare to take such a rest, I am afraid it will be wrong.
To be made into donkey meat and burned. This chapter has been completed!
