Why don't you believe I'm a reincarnated person?

Chapter 48 Even just getting some fresh air on the rooftop can lead to someone attempting suicide.

On Sunday evening, Ye Kai went back to school to attend evening self-study.

The daily sales figures for the flagship milk tea shop were all provided to him by Shen Jiayi. The sales revenue for milk tea and other beverages alone was ultimately set at 25700 yuan, while the total sales revenue for the other nine chain stores was only around 8900 yuan.

The difference is indeed quite large.

However, considering the flagship store's location and promotional efforts, this difference is within an acceptable range.

As for profits, they are actually quite considerable.

The costs of a milk tea shop mainly include raw material costs, employee wages, rent, utilities, equipment depreciation, etc.

Xinghua City is a small, third-tier city with relatively low employee costs, accounting for at most 10% of turnover. Shop rent is also relatively low, accounting for about 10%. Water and electricity costs are not the main cost, at most 5%. Equipment depreciation and other expenses are generally calculated at 5% of sales revenue. Adding the 20% share of raw materials, the total expenditure is about 50% of turnover.

In other words, the net profit of a milk tea shop is usually around 50%, or even higher.

This is under the premise that they use high-quality raw materials such as real milk and real tea. If they were a little more unscrupulous, they would make even more money.

"Although I knew before that bubble tea shops could make money, I never imagined they could make this much."

"This is a pure cash cow!"

"Once consumers accept the local brand 'Dong Ge's Milk Tea,' the revenue of the other nine chain stores will also increase rapidly, and will not be much worse than the sales of the flagship store."

"Moreover, as long as the market in Xinghua City is stabilized, we can expand to other cities."

"Once daily revenue stabilizes, profits will further increase through reasonable cost control and business management."

"Whether it's a self-operated store or a franchise store, there's great potential."

Thinking about the future of this milk tea shop, Ye Kai felt somewhat excited.

This is a real industry, fundamentally different from the ways of making money in the financial market. It can not only help solve some employment problems and create tax revenue for the local area, but also enhance one's social status.

Having the title of a financial player is clearly less important to the government than having the title of an industrialist or entrepreneur.

"Big brother, have you decided on your target universities?"

As is customary, during the break when students went up to the rooftop for some fresh air, Wei Junjie suddenly asked a question.

Who knows?

"It's too early to think about this now. Let's talk about it after the exam."

Several 985 universities flashed through Ye Kai's mind, but he didn't particularly like any of them or have a favorite major.

The April night breeze carries a hint of warmth, like a gentle spring breeze on your face.

Ye Kai opened his coat a little and draped it over his shoulders. Suddenly, he realized that something seemed to be missing. If he had a cigarette between his fingers and looked up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle with deep eyes, that would be the perfect moment.

"Have you decided where you want to apply?"

Ye Kai was just making conversation out of nothing, and he passed the question back to Xixi.

"With my grades, the best I can hope for is to get into a 211 university in our province. I've never even dared to dream of going to Beijing or Shanghai."

"The thought of parting ways with you all in two months makes me feel... a little complicated."

Suddenly, Xixi felt a pang of emotion. He reached out and reached out towards the empty space outside the rooftop railing, as if trying to grab onto something that was about to disappear.

Small flying insects drifted aimlessly in the night sky, their lights flickering passively in the dim yellow light of the streetlights, just like fireflies.

"Snap—"

With a wave of her hand, Xixi swatted a small flying insect to death on the railing; its death was far from peaceful.

Why think about these things?

"Don't stoop to venting your negative energy on lower-dimensional beings; that won't make you stronger."

"Actually, with your grades, you should have no problem getting into a university in Beijing, but don't even think about those 985 universities. It'll be tough for you to get into a strong program at a good 211 university, but getting into a program you like shouldn't be a big problem."

Ye Kai glanced sideways at Xixi, whose mood was somewhat complicated, and thought to himself that parting is ultimately a depressing and sad thing, especially for classmates who are good friends with each other.

"I don't even know what major I like..."

Speaking of this, Xixi couldn't help but complain.

"It's just a foreign language major."

"The required scores for this major aren't high, you can do it."

Ye Kai answered with great certainty.

Of course he knew what major Wei Junjie liked, because after the college entrance examination, Xixi chose to study Spanish at a foreign language university.

Leaving aside the job prospects of this major, the quality of the girls in the class is exceptionally high. Every day of Xixi's four years of university was like a holiday, as joyful and unrestrained as a badger wandering into a melon field, truly enviable to others.

"What are the benefits of studying a foreign language?"

The thought of having to memorize a large number of foreign language words for this major immediately dampened Xixi's spirits.

He always felt that Ye Kai was fooling him, wondering what future this major could have.

"I won't go into anything else, just search for the male-to-female ratio of universities in Beijing, and you'll understand."

Ye Kai reached out and patted his good brother on the shoulder twice, a hint of mystery in his smile.

"oh!"

"oops!"

"Holy crap, I get it now, hahahahaha!"

Xi Xi finally realized that Ye Kai had shown him the right path, and he felt enlightened and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Stop laughing, it looks scary."

"If you laugh any longer, your jaw will drop."

Ye Kai was very worried about him. He wasn't exactly handsome to begin with, and his constant smiling only made him look worse.

Entering the Women's Kingdom is certainly a delightful or exhilarating experience, but if you don't have Tang Sanzang's background and physical condition, you wouldn't be able to make it through.

"Hiccup—"

Sure enough, joy turned to sorrow when Xixi choked on her own saliva and kept hiccuping.

Just as Ye Kai was about to use a folk remedy to scare him, he caught a glimpse of a white shadow silently approaching the edge of the rooftop and climbing over the railing.

Ok?

What should they do at this moment?!

"not good!"

"Someone is going to jump off a building!"

His mind reacted quickly, and then his whole body reflexively rushed forward.

Bai Ying's desire to jump was extremely strong. After she crossed the railing, she plunged down into the water like a diver.

Ye Kai was also fast. He reached out with his right hand and grabbed the other person's coat, but the coat was obviously not strong enough to support a person's weight, and it immediately made a piercing tearing sound.

"Snap—"

Fortunately, Ye Kai reacted quickly enough, grabbing TA's ankle with his left hand in the blink of an eye. He then pulled his hand down, causing his body to rush towards the edge of the rooftop.
