When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 447

Chapter 447: Chapter 159: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (46)

Chi Yun’er had controlled the costs from the very beginning, giving directions for Zhao Jinming to implement.

They conducted comprehensive evaluations of quality, price, and style, among other factors, to find suitable long-term partners.

For the first month, they needed to track the profits precisely every day to understand the general correlation between foot traffic and profit.

This would facilitate future operations and, of course, was also tied to the payment of employee wages.

They were all veterans when it came to finances. The calculations were straightforward and simple—mostly just addition—so they worked very quickly.

Even so, it was almost eleven o’clock by the time they had calculated the final figures and double-checked them.

Seeing the enormous figure, the Dean and the others were all stunned.

With the substantial profits from their one department store as a baseline, they had thought that was the ceiling.

But after seeing these numbers, they felt like frogs in a well!

How could the foot traffic within the hospital possibly compare to the massive population of the entire Capital City? A tiny fraction of that number was more than enough to crush the department store’s business.

And these customers weren’t just spending their money at one or two shops!

Each shop’s profit was considerable. Take the food and beverage industry, for instance—an industry later generations would consider outrageously profitable and that many people would flock to. Its profits were typically half of its total revenue. But compared to the library, cinema, and video hall, that paled in comparison.

For clothes and fruit, Chi Yun’er sourced high-quality goods at low prices but sold them at the market rate. However, she would throw in small freebies with each purchase.

So, a five-figure profit was completely understandable!

"Wait, this... this is just for one day..." someone stammered in a daze.

"And it was a weekday, the day with the least foot traffic..."

"A lot of people don’t even know about this place yet. I bet when they go home, word will spread like wildfire..."

"I can’t imagine what the weekend will be like..."

At this thought, they all shivered. Even if the profit were halved, it would still be a solid five-figure sum. Halved again, it would still remain in the five-figure range.
