Chapter 77 – 77: Exponential Growth

“`

[Congratulations, Host, for completing a day’s business. Today’s net profit is 780,600 yuan, earning you 780,600 points. Your current total accumulated points are 2,542,480.]

The system prompt echoed in Chen Yu’s mind at that moment, and even he himself was stunned.

He hurriedly checked the day’s turnover and found it had reached over 860,000.

This was nearly three times as much as yesterday!

Looking at the images provided by today’s delivery system, an area with a six-kilometer radius was entirely covered. Even people more than ten kilometers away were ordering takeout from here.

The increase in foot traffic was practically explosive.

Chen Yu couldn’t help but sigh at his own hastiness.

He should have waited until the store was more solidly established and hired more staff before launching the delivery system.

However, he merely lamented in his heart for a moment and then quickly called the raw material suppliers.

Though he wanted to stock up more, the capacity of the cold storage meant he could only order enough raw materials for the next couple of days.

For tomorrow, the 10,000 jin of pork used for marinated meat, along with other various raw materials, added up to a total of 358,000 yuan.

Subsequently, Chen Yu rushed to place an order for three sets of machinery from Zhang Fan and also gave a shout to Xie Jiang next door, asking him to source twenty larger pressure cookers.

After paying for all these expenses, he had 433,600 yuan left in his hands.

Depositing 430,000 yuan into a current account and adding what was left over from yesterday, Chen Yu had a bit over 6,000 yuan in reserve funds.

After ordering the goods, Chen Yu sat down again to roughly calculate the costs.

He found that just today’s raw material costs were nearly 220,000 yuan.

It was a good thing he had listened to Tong Ming and hadn’t opened another branch but chose to expand his current shop instead.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of mishaps might have occurred.

Before long, several large trucks stopped in front of the shop.

The delivery guys had become numb to it all, as it seemed that the amount of raw materials Chen Yu needed would double every so often.

But the sheer volume of supplies this time was indeed too much; even Wang Qingshan was so exhausted he could hardly catch his breath.

Just then, Chu Hong approached Chen Yu with her mobile phone, looking somewhat embarrassed.

“Brother Yu, some girls from back home want to come out and find work. Can I invite them to work here?”

Chen Yu’s eyes instantly lit up, “Of course! How many?”

The six girls currently working in his shop were meticulous in their duties.

Not only did they learn quickly, but they also had honest and straightforward characters.

Since they were Chu Hong’s fellow villagers, their character and integrity were surely not far off.

Moreover, after today, Chen Yu clearly felt the need for more hands.

“There are roughly eight girls. If they don’t come out to work and earn money soon, they’ll be pressured into marriage. And I can assure you that they are diligent workers…”

“Enough,” Chen Yu interrupted Chu Hong with a raised hand, “tell them to come quickly. I’ll reimburse the travel expenses.”

With that, he directly transferred the over 6,000 yuan in reserve funds to Chu Hong.

“Brother Yu, this is too much…”

“The rest is a bonus for you six for this period; take it back and split it among yourselves!”

Chu Hong immediately became excited and stepped aside to make some phone calls.

After Wang Qingshan and the six girls had left, Chen Yu, holding his forehead, went next door.

Xie Jiang was still there with his workers, busy with construction in a hive of activity.

The previously independent five shops had been consolidated, and the stairs and various passages were also reinforced.
