Tang Yue gritted her teeth and said with a smile, âSu Bei, I heard that you specially arranged buses to shuttle customers to the mall. Furthermore, each person is only charged ten yuan for a round trip. This isnât a good deal. According to what I know, the cost of a round trip canât even cover the driverâs salary. If this goes on, how much will we end up losing?â
Old Master Tang also looked at Su Bei. He was worried about the future of the mall.
âGrandpa, I didnât lose anything from the transportation. In fact, Iâve already earned back my cost from the start of every operation and made tens of millions of profits from it,â Su Bei explained to Old Master Tang.
âWhat⦠Whatâs going on?â Tang Yue rolled her eyes inwardly. Su Bei was continuing to brag. Su Bei explained, âBecause Jingbei Square is far away, if thereâs no suitable transportation, customers will definitely not come. Therefore, I found a vehicle company and bought a batch of buses. Because I bought a lot of buses, I agreed to a deal that the buses will advertise their brand. Hence I got them for 50% off.â
âArenât you still making a loss?â Tang Yue asked.
âI sold the buses to the drivers at a 30% discount of the original price and told them that they would take the route from the city to the mall every day. The fees from the customers would all be theirs. Thus, they immediately agreed. After that transaction, I earned quite a bit.
In this way, customers can take the buses. Theyâre very willing to do so.â
Old Master Tang stroked his beard and said, âThatâs great. You didnât have to spend much money to solve the problem of transportation. The drivers also bought suitable buses at a cheaper price than the market rate and solved their employment problem.â
âYeah, thatâs why theyâre all so motivated. When theyâre not shuttling customers, they can also pick up ordinary passengers.â Su Bei smiled. âNot only do I not have to bear any transportation costs, but I also earned a small sum from this.
âIn other words, it solved all the transport problems for customers in the city, helping them get to the suburbs.â
Old Master Tang was very impressed. âThis method is really not bad. Su Bei, you did well. Transportation is not only a problem for our business but also a sore point for many people. What youâve done is also very beneficial!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI think this idea is really not bad.â Tang Jianming was also proud of his outstanding daughter. He praised her without restraint. âSu Bei, youâre great.â
Tang Yue sat at the side in silence. Her heart felt as if it was being clawed by a cat, and she was in pain. However, she could not say another word.
Su Bei lazily ran her fingers through her hair. Her expression was still as calm as ever. âSince Grandpa has no complaints, then thereâs nothing to doubt, right? Iâm tired. Iâll head back first. See you next time.â
The elders urged her to stay but Su Bei carried her bag and turned to leave.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
After a while, Old Master Tangâs laughter could be heard. âNot bad, not bad. As expected of my granddaughter. Su Bei is even more outstanding than I imagined.â
