Chapter 93
If this is about the store, let's talk from here. I need to wash the dishes. The voice of s.h.i.+rAli was heard from behind the kitchen door.
Dara thought, oh this cousin, he does not change his habits!
s.h.i.+r Ali was famous for his special att.i.tude to life. When talking with other people, he went into his world. I didn't hear others, answered inappropriately, sometimes I just said "yes-yes", "no-no." But in fact, the conversation did not get into his brain, he thought about his own.
He was wise, clever, strategist, knew mathematics and cooking very well. But did not want to communicate with people. Tediousness was his main feature. In England, the days of Cromwell, he would have been called pedantic, but in the East, where they like to talk, they didn't really like that character.
The combination of his talent, ability to look at familiar things in a new way, scrupulousness and excessive punctuality were those character traits that did not suit the chef very much. If he remained only in the kitchen, then there would be no particular problems. But alas... s.h.i.+r Ali was a chef and a waiter all rolled into one.
Remembering this, Dara frowned mentally. A wide cooking genius, a gourmet who knows how to cook tasty things even in the desert, but alas... over the years of his life in the city, he lost his direct sociability.
Now it was a cracker, and even not putting people into something, it would be difficult to do business with such a thing, unless the person was interested in s.h.i.+r Ali. And for this, the visitor should either be interested in mathematics or I-Go or be able to cook. Otherwise, everyone else will get complete contempt from the chef! And this is clearly not what is required of him. Especially in such a sophisticated area where Aunt Firuzekh lived and the "all cream of society" Small-An!
It seems that you also need to find a waiter or a waitress... Well, yes, okay, it's time to talk and not think.
Dara s.h.i.+rAli, don't be dumb, let's talk, this is your future work!
Reluctantly, the sleepy s.h.i.+rAli appeared before Dara.
Well, what do you need? Oh, about the store? No, wait, about the cafeteria? s.h.i.+r Ali.
Dara Yes, about them! So what do you want to do? What do you need for this? When can you get to work?
Today I can get to work! I will order one mini-factory for packing tea and 10000 packages at AliExpers. It will cost $ 8,000 for delivery and connection. Tuition is included. The plant will be delivered and connected in three days. Plus, for the remaining $ 2,000, I will buy a 500 kg industrial drying device for fruits and the fruits themselves.
I need another 15,000 dollars to attach a cafeteria to your stall. But I think it's better to make a cafe and place the dining room in another place. To do this, you need to hire two guys to serve visitors there themselves. These may be the children of Baraz. One was in the wings, it might be a good idea to do pilaf. For the money, it turns out, not so expensive. If we buy meat in the form of a live ram and cut it ourselves. The second son of Baraz, the butcher. So the price of meat will be lower! s.h.i.+r Ali.
Dara And you are not such
s.h.i.+r Ali. And how did you think of me?
Dara, It's just a joke!

s.h.i.+r Ali. I have long had a business plan ready for business development, there simply was no money!
Dara But now there is money!
s.h.i.+r Ali. The price of cut meat 1 kg of lamb costs $ 5, if we buy carca.s.ses, then 1 kg will cost about $ 2.5. And rice and vegetables with b.u.t.ter, you can buy at the wholesale market. The price is below the market by 30-40 percent. So we will be able to prepare a cost-effective pilaf. We can do lower prices. Now one serving weighs 324 grams, of which 124 grams is meat, and the rest is rice with vegetables. We can produce a portion of 300 grams, of which there will be 120 grams of meat.
Dara But it's less by 24 grams!
s.h.i.+r Ali. This is a very satisfying dish, even 250 grams is enough to eat! So it's easy to make a serving cheaper. I think giving out pilaf for free is unnecessary!
Dara Why? Is the crisis? People have no money!
s.h.i.+r Ali. This is capitalism. We cannot work at our own expense. That is, we reduce costs, reduce the portion and on the difference make the priceless. At the same time, the quality of the product remains excellent.
To cook not tasty food, a real cook will never! In addition, after tasting delicious food, people will talk about it to others! This is a "public advertis.e.m.e.nt"!
Dara And what price will it be? A serving now costs $ 1.8, and half a serving is $ 1.4, but not everyone sells.
s.h.i.+r Ali. Well, we use the method of reducing financial costs more efficiently. The cost of a serving at a price of $ 1.8 per serving is about 80 cents! So 1 dollar is a profit. But from this, you need to pay 15 cents in the form of value-added tax, 2 cents to the pension fund, 11 cents in the form of income tax, 32 cents for salary. It remains a net profit of 40 cents.
Dara And how many servings do you expect to sell?
s.h.i.+r Ali. 533 servings. Net profit of 213.33 cents!
Dara Wow, how fast do you think!
s.h.i.+r Ali. If you know-how, then everyone can!
Dara, You should be a tutor!
s.h.i.+r Ali. In our city, everything is done so as to interfere with business, small businesses. Repeaters were taxed at 40 percent, plus you need to get a license, take advanced training courses. And this is all corruption. You cannot pa.s.s without money. So it's easier to refuse.
Dara Yes, we have state feudalism, there are no capitalist relations. Anyway.
s.h.i.+r Ali. Thus, we can make our portion of 300 grams, the price of 1 dollar, net profit will be about 20 cents. Not much, of course, but $ 106.6. In a small plus, we will go out every day. Until food prices rise, we can stay afloat for some time. I think six months somewhere. And then, we also have to raise prices so as not to work at a loss!
Dara Yes, it's hard to be a philanthropist in our country.
s.h.i.+r Ali. In our country, being a businessman is not easy. If your business starts to generate net profit per month for $ 50,000, then hold on! If you don't have a very powerful roof, then your business will be taken away. Some kind of rich daughter, granddaughter, a nephew from an influential group or clan.
s.h.i.+rAli's face, covered with nodules, whites of the eyes, turned red.
Dara hastily gave s.h.i.+rAli - a medical pill to relieve pressure.
Dara Yes, we do business and that it is difficult to increase blood pressure!
s.h.i.+r Ali. I saw many young men who started their own business when they were 20, they all had black hair, and after three years, their head was gray. It is very difficult to conduct business with us, it is difficult, if there is no good "roof", then it is very difficult!
Dara But we have a good roof. It turns out that grandfather, the general! I did not know?!
s.h.i.+r Ali. And Fairuz the Sage! Well yes, that's a good roof!
Dara, So you knew and was silent?
s.h.i.+r Ali. Well, you know what my family is like. We are not supposed to talk much. I found out myself, well, well done. The time has come for this!
Dara What about the rest?
s.h.i.+r Ali. Let's open a simple cafe, tables for six, seats for 15-20. We will serve a light lunch, desserts, coffee, and tea. Selling desserts, pastries, maybe o-bento, that is food in the boxes. There are many companies, so it will be easier for them to take with them.
Dara And what are the prices?
s.h.i.+r Ali. Well, there you have rich people living in the area, their average salary is higher than in the city. They get from 1000 to 5000 dollars a month. Since these are all children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren, influential politicians, clans, groups. In short, the "Diamond Youth, a little diluted with Gold and Silver" lives and works there. So one set can be sold for 20-30 dollars. And baked goods for 50-80 cents, desserts for 1.8 dollars and up to 8 dollars, for a cake.
Dara And what is the net profit? With sets? Dessert?
s.h.i.+r Ali. With sets, surprisingly nearly $ 15! And from desserts from 55 percent of the price.
Dara Wow!
s.h.i.+r Ali. This is a good and rich area. So you can quickly pay back the investment. For three months! Even despite the crisis! At this time, the rich spend more money than in other years. They have stress, and when shopping, they relieve this stress!
