Invincible Divine Dragon's Cultivation System - Chapter 47

Chapter 47

Wild Giant Yellow Croakers, in the present, were almost extinct . Any one of them with a weight of 3 catties and above could fetch a price of $30,000 to $40,000 .

$10,000 per catty would definitely be the top-quality fish in the world .

Wang Xian looked at the 10 Wild Giant Yellow Croakers that he dominated with a faint smile on his face .

Having stayed in the ocean for more than 17 hours, the biggest benefit that he reaped was Roving Lobster and the lobsters . Besides that, he also acquired 10 Wild Giant Yellow Croakers .

These Wild Giant Yellow Croakers were worth at least $300,000 .

Wang Xian did not bring all the lobsters up . Instead, he brought those Wild Giant Yellow Croakers back to shore .

He got Roving Lobster to guard the entire lobsters’ area and commanded Roving Girl to look for top-quality ingredients during her free time .

Wang Xian transferred the image of abalones, Wild Giant Yellow Croaker, and Chinese Bahaba fish to Roving Girl so that she could search for them .

After coming out of the sea, it was 9 am the next day . He touched his empty stomach, as he had already missed two meals in a day .

Wang Xian put on his clothes and headed to the place where he had parked his Harley motorcycle .

How nice it would be if I had a house by the sea . In this way, I wouldn’t have to go through the trouble . It would be best to have a fish farm or fishing boat at sea . Next time, I can better explain the source of the seafood if I put them on the fishing boat .

Wang Xian was pondering to himself . He took out his phone to check the price of fishing boats .

There were several messages on the phone . In addition to Guan Shuqing’s messages, there were messages from Xue Jing .

Xue Jing sent him a message asking if he had time to meet . Subsequently, he followed up with some warm greetings again .

Wang Xian chuckled after he saw these and returned a few polite replies .

He rode all the way back to First-grade Restaurant and saw Guan Shuqing and Manager Huang exchanging conversations as soon as he entered the restaurant .

On seeing him, Guan Shuqing was displeased and grumbled, “Where did you go? You didn’t reply to my messages since yesterday . ”

Wang Xian saw some resentment flashing in her eyes . He chuckled and said, “I have been busy, and I was too busy to look at my phone . ”

“Who will believe you? You’re so busy that you can’t even look at your phone?” Guan Shuqing stared at him with disbelief .

“It’s true . I’m not lying to you . ” Wang Xian walked over without a word and swung the bag of Wild Giant Yellow Croakers in his hand . “To get some seafood back, I was busy throughout the night . I didn’t even sleep well last night . Manager Huang, bring it to the kitchen and keep it . We’re not selling these for the time being . ”

He smiled to Guan Shuqing as he spoke to Manager Huang .

“Yes, Director Wang . ” Manager Huang trotted over with curiosity as he took over the bag in Wang Xian’s hand .

“This is…?” When he saw the Giant Yellow Croakers, his eyes were wide open as he was taken aback . “Director Wang, this…these are Giant Yellow Croakers?”

“Yes, Wild Giant Yellow Croaker . Keep them properly . They should be dying . ” Wang Xian nodded .

“Sure, Director Wang . You’re awesome . Wild Giant Yellow Croaker is so rare that it is hard to catch even one . You have got 10 of them, and each of them is at least 3 catties . Director Wang, you’re simply superb . ”

Manager Huang spoke with surprise . Then, he quickly took the fish back to the kitchen .

When the main chef saw the fish, he was also shocked . The new boss was awesome . He had managed to get 10 Wild Giant Yellow Croakers in just a day, and these are all the priceless top-quality ingredients .

“You got 10 Wild Giant Yellow Croakers?” asked Guan Shuqing shockingly as she knew about the scarcity of the Giant Yellow Croakers as well .

“Yes, I got them through tremendous effort . ” Wang Xian nodded .

“Wang Xian, you’re now… superb!” said Guan Shuqing with her mouth agape .

“Heh, it’s nothing . You’ll be well-fed if you follow my lead . ” Wang Xian smirked .

“You’re such an outstanding man now . I’m sure many girls will take a fancy to you in the future . ” Suddenly, Guan Shuqing looked at him, feeling lost .

“Hur?” Wang Xian was slightly stunned . Subsequently, he joked and said, “That’s for sure . Just that I’m not sure if there is anyone as pretty as our Guan Shuqing who will take a fancy to me . ”

“What a glib tongue . ” Guan Shuqing heard his words and chuckled, “Well, I’m going to check and make a comparison with the old data . I cannot take your salary for granted . ”

“I will also take a look at the office . ”

Wang Xian came to a small office with three tables . Among which, there was one desk that belonged to him .

Wang Xian picked up the old data and studied it .

The daily sales figure of First-grade Restaurant was about $150,000 . Such turnover is considered to be high, at $50 million a year .

Yet, the profit margin was minimal at 12% to 13% of the revenue .

Expenses include taxes, staff wages, in-store expenses, and the procurement cost .

With 50 employees, the staff wages cost almost $20,000 . Procurement expenses were even higher than this .

Take caviar for instance, there was basically no profit in selling it .

The First-grade Restaurant could enjoy its reputation because of the excellent quality in the ingredients and the culinary skills of the chef .

Director Li was a very enterprising person . He hired three award-winning ‘Gold-medalist’ chefs . The so-called ‘Gold-medalist’ chefs were chefs who were qualified to be the main chefs in five-star hotels .

The yearly salary of these three cooks was around half a million .

With the increase in cost, the reputation of the restaurant was on the rise too . Five to seven million profits in a year was considered high to a restaurant .

An average restaurant would make more than 25% of profits . The First-grade Restaurant’s profit margin is still relatively low . If we can double the profits, we will have $13 to $14 million in income .

Wang Xian was thinking to himself . He remained confident with First-grade Restaurant . Once their top-quality ingredients were ready, they could make at least 35% profits .

By that time, the yearly earnings could hit over $20 million .

During the day, Wang Xian had been staying in the restaurant to study how to make money .

Guan Shuqing was also looking at the various data .

Ring!

When Wang Xian was about to get Guan Shuqing for dinner at 6 pm, Guan Shuqing’s phone rang .

Soon after, he heard the reluctant voice of Guan Shuqing .

“Wang Xian, I had to make a trip home,” After she hung up the phone, Guan Shuqing had a troubled face . She apologized to Wang Xian, “I might not be able to come tomorrow either . I’m sorry . I just started my work for a day…”

“Hur? What’s up? Anything wrong?” asked Wang Xian with concern . He was slightly stunned when he saw her expression .

“Something about my parents . I’m sorry,” Guan Shuqing replied with guilt .

“It’s okay . Get going . ” Wang Xian shook his head and assured her .

“Well, I’ll come back the day after . ” Guan Shuqing nodded .

Wang Xian nodded as he did not take it to heart .

Guan Shuqing’s house was situated within an old district of the Eastern River District in the Rivertown . They used to be staying in a high-end, duplex residential building in the city center, but they had to sell their house to return the debt after her father’s company encountered some problems and went bankrupt .

“Dad, Mom?” When she opened the door, Guan Shuqing saw her parents sitting on the sofa .

The middle-aged man was smoking, and his hair was a mess . The fact that he had turned from a billionaire to a penniless man had struck a huge blow to her father . Even her mother was impacted by this significantly .

“Shuqing is here . ” the middle-aged man put out the cigarette in his hand immediately . He stood up and said, “Get yourself dolled up . We’re going to have dinner . ”

“Come, Shuqing . Wear something nice today . We have an important dinner,” Guan Shuqing’s mother said to her too .

“Alright . ” Guan Shuqing nodded with bitterness on her face .
