Spend Money on Goddess, Use more! Gain more!-Chapter 284 - 195: Wu Wei Displays Extraordinary Ability, Zhou Yuyan’s Heart Is Stirred
"Um... Yuyan."
Wu Wei cleared his throat, breaking the silence.
Zhou Yuyan shivered, as if she had been startled awake, and suddenly looked up.
"Huh?"
Her eyes blinked nervously, evading direct eye contact with Wu Wei.
"I haven't really kept up with the situation at the hotpot restaurant while I was away from Ji City, so why don't you give me a brief update now."
Seeing Zhou Yuyan's still flushed cheeks and evasive gaze, Wu Wei knew her feelings must be quite complex at the moment. Thus, he cleared his throat and redirected the conversation toward work.
Hearing Wu Wei mention business, Zhou Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately set aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
She walked over to the desk, turned on the computer screen, and her expression became professional and serious.
"Alright, ever since you last mentioned focusing on revenue, I've made a series of adjustments, such as reducing prices, improving the quality of ingredients, and strengthening publicity."
As she spoke, she opened an Excel file: "Plus, it's winter now, the weather's cold, which is the peak season for hotpot, so business over the past two weeks has been much better than before."
Wu Wei sat upright, carefully examining the spreadsheet.
Zhou Yuyan's spreadsheet was very well organized, with all sorts of data meticulously recorded.
She stood beside Wu Wei, leaning slightly forward, pointing to the numbers as she explained them one by one: "Look, the average daily table turnover rate over the past two weeks has reached 3.2, and during these two days of Christmas, it even exceeded 4.5."
Her fingertip glided over the screen, carrying a faint scent of hand cream: "We now have a total of 45 open tables and 5 private rooms, with average daily revenue in the past two weeks exceeding 50,000, and on the day of Christmas, it even surpassed 70,000!"
As she reached this point, her voice brimmed with undisguisable excitement: "At this rate, this month's revenue might even break through 1.5 million!"
Wu Wei looked up at Zhou Yuyan's bright eyes and nodded.
With the system as a cheat, under a ten-thousand times leverage, the cost is just over a hundred bucks, which can almost be ignored.
1.5 million is basically pure profit.
However, this number is far from reaching its limit.
Through the system's enlightenment, Wu Wei's current knowledge of business management is superior to most.
He doesn't even need to think much as various data, models, and cases flood in like a tide, naturally allowing him to see the meanings and potentials behind these figures at a glance.
"Nicely done."
Wu Wei turned to Zhou Yuyan, showing a smile of approval: "You've worked hard during this period."
Receiving the praise, Zhou Yuyan's eyes curved like crescent moons, and a joyful smile spread across her face: "Not really, I just followed your strategy."
For some reason, after being praised by Wu Wei, she felt not just joy but a trace of sweetness.
"However."
Wu Wei changed his tone: "There's still room for improvement."
Zhou Yuyan immediately restrained her smile, watching him earnestly, waiting for what he would say next.
"A turnover rate of 3.2 is considered good in an average hotpot restaurant, but for a store as big as ours, with improved quality and lowered prices, the data is only average."
Wu Wei continued: "In popular chains like Haidilao, the regular table turnover rate is over 5.0, and during holidays it can typically reach over 7.0."
"I think you might still be a bit conservative, still worrying about profit, afraid the store might incur losses."
Wu Wei's gaze lingered on Zhou Yuyan's face for a while: "How about this, I'll give you a data model and you can adjust accordingly."
Data model?
Zhou Yuyan frowned slightly, wondering if even this was something her brother-in-law could do?
But she nodded nevertheless, turned to grab a pen and notebook from the desk, and handed them to him.
Wu Wei opened the notebook and picked up the pen.
The pen tip moved across the paper, producing a rustling sound.
He first outlined the store's various basic data: 45 open tables, 5 private rooms, maximum guest capacity, current turnover rate, the average arrival time distribution of guests, the average dining duration of guests…
A stream of numbers flowed from his pen, neat and clear.
Zhou Yuyan stood beside him, leaning slightly forward to watch, her long hair cascading over her shoulder, a few strands nearly touching Wu Wei's wrist.
A faint fragrance from her wafted over, a mix of shampoo and her natural scent, fresh and pleasant.
Wu Wei continued writing.
He set the per capita price as P, the number of daily customers at price P as Q, Qmax as the store's maximum customer capacity, and R as the total daily revenue…
One parameter after another was defined, and one variable after another was introduced.
Soon, the paper was covered with a complex function model.
Zhou Yuyan looked at it, somewhat dazzled, but she continued to focus intently, trying to understand the meaning of each symbol.
Wu Wei substituted the previous data and the current data into the model, beginning a series of calculations.
His pen moved swiftly across the paper, numbers and symbols unfolded like a stream.
Some steps he skipped the intermediate calculations and directly wrote the results— with his current brain computation ability, these mathematical calculations could be completed almost instantly.
Watching those complicated calculations, which would normally take her a long time, being solved as easily as elementary arithmetic problems under Wu Wei's pen, Zhou Yuyan's eyes widened.
Ten minutes later, Wu Wei arrived at a range for the optimal solution and stopped writing.
"Take a look."
Wu Wei circled the final result with his pen: "By setting the per capita price between 62 and 79 yuan, the revenue is maximized. Our current per capita price is 93 yuan, which, although much lower than before, is still somewhat high."
