Chapter 219: The Opening of Cat Café

Chen Mo thought for a moment and finally wrote down Jiang Cheng’s name.

As the head of the production department, Jiang Cheng had not done anything out of line, making him the most reassuring choice to take over the Clothing Factory.

He didn’t need Jiang Cheng to pull off anything dramatic; he simply needed him to follow the course he had set. As long as Jiang Cheng followed his route, losses were inevitable.

Then there was the issue of the cafeteria.

Now that they had moved into the office building, the meals became a concern.

It is prohibited to have kitchens within the office space,

However, they could rent a storefront beside the office building to serve as a cafeteria. This way, employees could have their meals in the cafeteria downstairs.

This is a good idea and should be noted down.

Whether it’s renting a storefront or hiring chefs for renovations, both would require significant expenditures.

Moreover, the cafeteria definitely needs to be larger, as there would undoubtedly be more employees in the five floors of office space, and a small cafeteria would not be able to accommodate everyone for meals.

If they go this route,

A cafeteria could effectively offset the additional revenue of five million from Tianlong.

After identifying ways to spend money, Chen Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he did not stop planning. The sudden increase in revenue from Tianlong served as a wake-up call.

He realized he had been too lax recently.

Having expenditure equal revenue is not safe; if there is suddenly an increase in revenue, he would be caught unprepared if he had to seek ways to spend money on the fly.

Therefore, he needed to plan out spending areas in advance so that even in the case of sudden revenue spikes, he would have methods to utilize the funds.

For now, there weren’t any expenditures for the Clothing Factory.

However, Cangxue Games could certainly incur costs; first of all, after the new game launched, they would need to develop a second new game.

This would involve hiring new staff and project funding.

These are all areas where spending could occur.

Additionally, once the platform for the short videos is built, recruiting streamers would also be an expense.

Chen Mo quickly jotted down his thoughts in his notebook.

After a while,

He set down his pen and looked at the page filled with spending avenues, suddenly feeling a robust sense of security.

With this spending manual,

Even if something unexpected happened, he could follow the avenues laid out in the manual to allocate funds.

This is undoubtedly a form of insurance for his financial management.

…………..

Nanhe Cat Café,

Lin Zhu and Song Xia looked at the customers in the store, smiling brightly.

After several days of operation, the Cat Café had seen a steady increase in its clientele, and today, it even surpassed a hundred visitors.

Moreover, a portion of these new customers were returning ones, who often brought friends along on their second visit.

These customers came for the fame of Cat Café; it has already become well-known in the surrounding area.

After all, there had never been a Cat Café around before.

Now that a Cat Café had suddenly appeared, many people found it novel, leading to rapid word-of-mouth spread about the Cat Café.

“Song Xia, it’s only a little past four, and we’ve already served over a hundred customers! Do you think we could break 150 by tonight?”

Lin Zhu glanced at a few customers interacting with the cats before turning to Song Xia.

“There shouldn’t be any problem.”

Song Xia considered for a moment and slowly nodded.

At this time, having already received over a hundred people before four o’clock, breaking 150 before eight in the evening didn’t seem like a daunting task.

After all, it wasn’t even a holiday yet; the evening foot traffic could be greater than during the day.

150 people,

If each one just orders a 50 yuan Americano, that’s already 7500 yuan.

This doesn’t even account for the sales of cat treats and canned food. Most of the people coming to the Coffee Shop are cat lovers, willing to spend on treats for the cats.

Additionally, not every customer will only order the 50 yuan coffee; some would also choose more expensive options.

Overall, today’s revenue at the Coffee Shop would likely exceed ten thousand.

With daily revenue surpassing ten thousand, even when only considering labor and coffee bean losses, they were already profitable.

This Cat Café could be deemed a success.

And this was just the beginning; she believed that as the fame of the Cat Café spread further, more people would come seeking it.

By that time,

The income of the Cat Café would undoubtedly increase further.

“Since the Cat Café is profitable, when President Chen opens new branches in the future, how about we open more Cat Café locations?”

Lin Zhu proposed.

With so many kittens still at the Rescue Station, opening a few more Cat Café stores could not only support the Coffee Shop’s operations but also alleviate the resource consumption at the cat and dog Rescue Station.

It’s a win-win situation.

Upon hearing Lin Zhu’s suggestion, Song Xia nodded slightly.

“This matter is worth considering. I’ll discuss it with Teacher Su when I return, and we should also inform President Chen about the Cat Café’s profitability and check his thoughts on this.”

“Um, right.”

Lin Zhu nodded, secretly thinking that since the Cat Café could turn a profit, President Chen would surely agree!

“Business has been good these past few days, hasn’t it?”

Li Shuyun walked over to Song Xia, looking at the customers in the Coffee Shop with awe.

In the days they spent at the Coffee Shop, although there were customers present, the crowd was never as large as it was now.

“Shuyun.”

Song Xia greeted Li Shuyun as she approached.

The clothing store had finished its renovations before the Coffee Shop, and it had already been in operation for several days.

As the owner of the clothing store, Li Shuyun visited the clothing store every couple of days to check on things and would often order a cup of coffee from the Coffee Shop, usually the most expensive one.

She could be considered one of the store’s major customers.

“By the way, how’s the clothing store doing?”

She suddenly remembered that the clothing store was a franchise of President Chen’s brand, and she was curious about its sales in recent days.

“The clothing store just opened, so we don’t have many customers yet, but it has benefited quite a bit from your Cat Café. Many people coming out of the Cat Café choose to check out the clothing store, resulting in several successful transactions.”

Li Shuyun replied with a smile.

She was somewhat expecting the current situation of the clothing store.

After all, it is a fact that the clothing store does not have much name recognition yet, making it normal for it not to be profitable with few customers initially.

So she did not mind it too much; she was more focused on the potential of the Clothing Factory.

The scale, style, and craftsmanship of the clothing produced by the Clothing Factory were all outstanding.

Moreover, she had a fair understanding of the owner of the Clothing Factory.

She understood that as long as this owner was around, the quality of the garments produced in the workshop would never decline.

As long as the quality remained high and the styles are fresh, with prices only slightly above those of regular branded clothing,

It was only a matter of time before this clothing brand gained recognition.
