Ichiro Honda didn’t know whether Da Chi would collapse or not, but after the price of tribute tea started to be reduced, it started to be unable to withstand it in a few days.

At that time, July 15 had just passed, and this was the day when all companies in Fuso had to conduct a final inventory of the previous month and submit the specific profit data of the previous month as usual.

Then when Honda Ichiro saw the final figure in June, he was a little stupid because in June, Gongcha lost a gross profit of 1 billion yen.

You know, this is the first time that there has been a gross profit loss since the creation of Gongcha.

In fact, Gongcha has been in a loss-making state since its establishment and has not made any normal profits. These losses are caused by Gongcha’s large expansion. After all, the initial cost of opening a store and recruiting trainees is huge. The 500 million US dollars invested by Son Masayoshi is basically used to open a store and train people.

However, after removing the cost of opening a store, the gross profit obtained by simply calculating the continuous operation cost of each store has always been positive, and the number is quite good. In May, a gross profit of 3 billion yen was obtained, which made the entire Gongcha extremely excited.

This means that as long as Gongcha starts to stop expanding and the existing situation of Anxin is in operation, it can bring 3 billion yen in a month, which will be 36 billion yen in a year. The 500 million US dollars invested by Masayoshi Son can make a profit in one year, and all of them will be net profits in one year!

This news naturally made Honda Ichiro and Son extremely happy. They also went to find two Rafis from 1982. Oh, no, they were the kind of junior high school students who had been in 1982 to help them live. Both of them felt that the future was promising and their lives were about to reach their peak.

But Ichiro Honda never dreamed that in June, the gross profit fell instead of increasing, and actually lost 1 billion yen, with positive and negative decreasing, which is 3 billion yen. Gongcha’s gross profit in one month actually dropped by 4 billion yen in one breath. What the hell is this?

"Mr. President, didn't we cut the price to 100 yen last month? It dropped by 50 yen compared to May's price, so the gross profit will naturally drop!" The person from the Finance Department who came to report on his work lowered his head and explained in a low voice.

"But that won't drop to the level of loss!" Honda Ichiro roared, "The cost calculated by your finance department for me is not 80 yen per cup of original milk tea? Now our price is still above 100 yen. We still have a profit of 20 yen per cup of milk tea. Why did we lose so much gross profit!"

Well, this sounds like a very fantasy thing, and it is normal for Honda Ichiro to not understand. After all, when the price of a single cup is still profitable by 20 yen, the total profit is actually a loss of 2 billion yen. This is really exaggerated. Honda Ichiro really can't understand.

It's like you go to help someone practice, and you agree to charge 20 yuan per hour. After you calculate a series of expenses such as a person's living electricity bill, the average conclusion is that the cost per hour is 15 yuan. After you practice for 10 hours, you should be able to earn 50 yuan, but in the end you calculate, you find that you have lost 50 yuan, which is really fantasy.

"We are not very clear..." The people from the Finance Department themselves also had a confused expression, saying that they knew nothing.

The truth is the same, and the data is also normal, but in the end it will be a loss.

"Check, check it out, I'll give you three days. If you can't find out the reason, you can't find out where the 3 billion yen of these losses came out. Then all your finance department will commit suicide by separating me and don't show up in front of me again!" The whole building could hear clearly.

The people in the Finance Department were so miserable that they could only check the accounts for three consecutive days without sleeping. They summarized all the accounts reported by 7,000 stores across the country, conducted complex statistics and calculations, and everyone's eyes were about to swollen. Finally, before the limited time for Honda Ichiro, they placed the results of the financial review in front of Honda Ichiro.

"You mean, the extra cost is because our cost data is calculated incorrectly!!" Honda Ichiro asked in disbelief as he looked at the final result.

"This is the reason!" said the Minister of Finance, with a swollen eye. "According to our investigation, the reason for the serious decline in profits is because the profits calculated before are no longer in line with the current level!"

"The cost of 80 yen per cup was calculated in March. However, after accounting for the data in June, it was found that the cost had risen to the level of an average cost of 105 yuan per cup, and the average cost was already higher than the average selling price."

"This is impossible!" Honda Ichiro shouted, "In your financial statements, although the domestic material procurement costs have increased, on average, the material procurement costs have only increased by two yen. The original raw material costs of 40 yen are only only 42 yen now, which pushes the cost of 80 yen by 82 yen by up to 82 yen. Why did it rise to 105 yen in one go? Do you think I am a fool?"

"President, the main reason for the increase in costs is not the material cost. The main reason for the increase in costs is the expenses of each store and the company's operating costs!" said the financial director gritted his teeth.

"I have calculated that in the whole June, compared with the store operating costs in March, the store operating costs of each store increased by about 500,000 yen on average!"

"Nonsense, the expenses of each store are fixed, how could it have increased so much!" When I heard this number, Ichiro Honda was stupid himself. How could it have increased so much cost!

"First of all, it is the increase in the cost of employment. In March, we had to hire 5-7 employees on average to maintain the operation of a store. However, now, a store has to hire at least ten employees. In some popular stores, the number of employees even exceeds 15. On average, the number of employees increased by about 4 people per store."

"According to the minimum standard of 50,000 yuan for each person's monthly salary, this increases the cost of 200,000 yen!" said the Financial Director.

"How could so many people be added?" Honda Ichiro was stunned and asked involuntarily, "Is it because the store's business is so good that it needs to increase its staff?"

"It's wrong to start. If the manpower is increased because of good business, the profits created by a single person will increase. It shouldn't be..." Honda Ichiro began to ask and answer himself again.

"Actually..." The financial director gritted his teeth, as if he was hesitating whether to say this answer, but in the end, in the spirit of being immortal, the financial director finally said, "In fact, the business in March was already very busy. In March, each employee made an average of 136 cups of milk tea per day. But in June, each employee made an average of 96 cups of milk tea per day!"
