Chapter 47 I can do it too!
"Why are we on vacation again!"
"If you ask me, students shouldn't have holidays!"
"During the holidays, our canteen will be empty and we won't make any money. We still have to pay basic wages to our employees. How much money will I lose..."
With exams starting in various universities.
The principal of Blue Elephant University also returned to the school leisurely to deal with some matters.
He cursed a lot and was particularly unhappy.
When he finished reading the reports for the past two months, he suddenly frowned and looked at the person in charge of the kitchen with an ugly expression.
"What's going on? Why has our cafeteria's income been so low in the past two months?"
"It's 30% lower than usual. Those chefs took the money and didn't work hard, right? If you don't want to work, get out of here."
Hearing this, the person in charge of the kitchen smiled awkwardly: "Principal, the chefs are very attentive."
"Then tell me, why did the income drop?" Principal Lan Xiang sneered.
The person in charge of the kitchen quickly explained: "Principal, the main reason is that the students have not eaten in the cafeteria recently. They went to the Xingchen College cafeteria to eat after class..."
The cafeteria of Star Academy?
After being stunned for a moment, Principal Lan Xiang reacted: "Going to eat in the Xingchen College cafeteria? Are you kidding? Our school is at least two kilometers away from Xingchen College. How can students run so far when they are full?"
"Moreover, wasn't that young man fooling around with the Star Academy cafeteria by letting students become chefs? Why, he invited the chef back after he couldn't do it?"
Principal Lan Xiang asked as if he were laughing.
However, the person in charge of the kitchen shook his head and said carefully: "The students are still responsible. I heard that the work was very impressive. The students all said that the food was delicious."
"Not only students from our school will go, but students from other schools will also go. When it's meal time, their cafeteria will be crowded."
Seeing that the principal didn't believe it, the person in charge even took out his mobile phone and opened TikTok to show the principal.
In the video, a student is complaining that he is late.
I probably won't even be able to eat vegetable soup.
The canteen in the video is indeed lively and frighteningly crowded.
This time, the principal couldn't laugh anymore.
"How can a group of freshmen become chefs and become so popular? Could it be that they are doing really well?"
Someone next to him echoed: "Isn't that right? I heard that their family is going to open a second cafeteria and it is already being renovated! By next semester, it is estimated that more students will go there to eat."
Principal Lanxiang looked ugly.
He had no doubts now.
No wonder the profits of our own canteens have fallen so sharply.
It turns out that they were all taken away by Star Academy!
"The school should be closed just like the past two years! A group of students don't think about studying hard every day, they just think about how to eat. Otherwise, the school should be closed next year..."
In the past two years, universities have frequently closed their campuses.
When the school was closed, we were really making a lot of money.
Principal Lanxiang misses that time very much.
After hearing this, everyone at the meeting looked at each other in silence.
There is too much resistance to closing the school and it is unlikely to be implemented.
Principal Lanxiang also knew that what he said was unrealistic.
But the profit decline was something he couldn't tolerate.
But the next moment, his eyes lit up.
He had a great idea.
Since Star Academy can do this, why can't we do it ourselves?
You know, everyone teaches cooking.
The chef at Star Academy is a freshman.
What about here at home? There are even senior students who have started preparing for internships in their junior year.
Such good condition.
It's entirely possible to do what Star Academy did and lay off the current cafeteria chefs and let junior students take over.
By then, my own cafeteria will definitely be more popular than the cafeteria of Star Academy.
Not only can profits be restored, but even more can be made.
And it also saves the chef’s salary.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.
He immediately spoke to everyone in the meeting and announced this matter.
Hearing this, most people nodded.
They haven't eaten in the canteen of Star Academy either.
Although the students said it was delicious.
But it’s just a meal cooked by a group of freshmen, how delicious can it be?
The reason why it is so popular is probably because of the gimmick and novelty.
As for my group of juniors, their cooking skills are definitely more solid.
It tastes better than what the freshmen of Star Academy cook.
By then, it shouldn’t be difficult to make the cafeteria popular.
The logistics director was excited and immediately agreed.
The more people who eat, the more kickbacks he can make.
This is definitely a good thing.
However, one director expressed his disapproval: "Principal, are our students willing to be chefs? I heard that at Star Academy, all students sign up on their own."
"If we also ask students to sign up, then probably not many students will be willing to sign up..."
One's own family knows one's own affairs.
Students at Blue Elephant Academy don't have a good impression of the school.
How could he take the initiative to apply to be a chef in the school?
But Principal Lan Xiang waved his hand indifferently: "Let the students do things, it doesn't matter whether they are willing or not!"
“Their diplomas haven’t been received yet!”
"Let the juniors be chefs and work as interns for one semester."
“Otherwise we won’t issue diplomas!”
Principal Lanxiang is proficient in the method of controlling students through graduation certificates.
There is no fear of student resistance at all.
Nowadays, although it is said that academic qualifications are not important, the prerequisite is that you must have academic qualifications.
If you don’t even have a college diploma, it will be extremely difficult to enter the society and find a good job!
So, using the graduation certificate as a threat is always effective.
Principal Lan Xiang made the final decision.
There was nothing more to say.
"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting!"
"You go and tell the chefs not to come after the holidays!"
After that, Principal Lan Xiang whistled happily.
The salary of the chefs in the cafeteria is 50,000 yuan a month.
Let students be chefs in the future, saving 600,000 or 700,000 yuan a year.
It's a huge profit...
Not to mention that if the business is booming, it will attract students from other colleges to eat.
How much money will it make?
Principal Lan Xiang was even thinking at this moment.
Should we also hire the kitchen helpers?
Let the first and second year students majoring in culinary arts be kitchen helpers.
Just let them experience the working environment in advance.
If so, we can save hundreds of thousands of yuan a year.
That young man from Xingchen College really pointed out a way to make money for himself!
...
The time came to February 1st.
As the last exam of most schools was over.
The students took their luggage and went home in the car amidst cheers.
The students of Xingchen College also finished the last day of this semester.
They left one after another.
Except for some students who went home the next day, the whole university town was quiet.
The next day.
There were still many students who came to Xingchen College and wanted to eat in the cafeteria.
But unfortunately, they were greeted by only a closed door.
This disappointed many students who came here because of its reputation.
And Ye Chen, the principal.
One month before the holiday, he had already handled the renovation of the second cafeteria, equipment procurement, and recruitment.
Now he just had to wait for the faculty and staff to mark the students' test papers and do the statistics.
When everything is done, the holiday can be officially announced.
