Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 249 - 111: Winter Break Approaching, Heading Home Together

Finance College of Zhejiang University campus, faculty dormitory.

New Century was about to celebrate its one-month anniversary, and Su Zelin and Kang Baohong were once again at the vice principal's house.

It was the vice principal's wife who called them over. Besides strengthening relationships, Kang Yulian also wanted to inquire about New Century's revenue situation.

Originally, Kang Baohong was a trusted confidant, but after helping out Su Zelin, he quickly became loyal. In just a month, he was completely devoted to that young boss. He was unwilling to reveal even the slightest bit about the store's income and profits, claiming it was a business secret requiring the boss's permission.

Kang Yulian secretly cursed her nephew for being two-faced, but felt helpless and had to start with Su Zelin.

While having dinner, as the vice principal's wife was pondering how to bring up the topic, Su Zelin said, "Baohong, go ahead and report the store's situation to Vice Principal Dai and Auntie!"

Although Kang Yulian wouldn't meddle in the store's business, as she didn't have the capability, the vice principal's wife certainly wanted to know how much money she could make.

Since the rascal willingly let Kang Yulian place her nephew by his side, he wasn't planning on deliberately hiding it. Only with transparent revenue would Kang Yulian trust him more and willingly offer more help, deepening the partnership.

Moreover, he might need the vice principal's help for other matters in the future.

"Okay, boss!"

Since Su Zelin had spoken, Kang Baohong had no more reservations.

He personally handled New Century's daily revenue numbers and knew them inside out, so he gave a straightforward report.

"From the store's opening on January 1st until today, a total of twenty-seven days, we've sold *** computers, *** MP3 players, and *** CDs,"

Kang Yulian wasn't interested in anything else; she was most concerned about profits, yet she still listened patiently.

When Kang Baohong told her the net profit after deducting rent, utilities, and labor costs, the vice principal's wife was shocked on the spot: "What, the digital store made a hundred and twenty thousand in profit in one month?"

That number was a bit frightening! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

According to Xiaosu's promise of ten percent equity as a bonus for Baohong, that's twelve thousand for him!

Of course, she would also share some benefits with her nephew.

But regardless, this number far exceeded Kang Yulian's expectations!

She previously thought that if the digital store could bring in five or six thousand a year in gains, it would be good enough, and she even worried it wouldn't be sustainable. Who knew it would reach the goal in just one month.

The vice principal's wife was surprised and delighted: "Baohong, is selling computers really this profitable?"

"The profit from the computer business is indeed high, but it depends on the person. If it were someone else, doing computer business in a school wouldn't necessarily succeed! As far as I know, no university in Lin'an has a successful computer store. At most, they do small business, making small change by selling keyboards, mice, and CDs. Only our wise and brilliant boss has made New Century vibrant and successful!"

At the end, Kang Baohong didn't forget to flatter Su Zelin.

"Haha, that's right. I knew Xiaosu was smart and capable!"

Kang Yulian's smile almost split her face.

"Not at all, it's mainly due to Vice Principal Dai and Auntie's strong support that I dared to go all out. Additionally, Auntie introduced me to such a driven manager like Baohong, which allowed us to achieve such a beautiful victory."

Su Zelin calmly credited the leaders and his subordinates.

"Xiaosu, don't be modest. I've never seen Baohong admire anyone so much. He sincerely respects you and is always praising your ideas in front of me, saying they're so creative and imaginative he could never come up with them. He also says he learns a lot from you!"

At this moment, Kang Yulian looked at Su Zelin even more affectionately, almost wanting to adopt him as a godson.

"That's for sure, Auntie, you don't say, just New Century Digital Flagship Experience Center as a name is something an ordinary person can't come up with. It even added a Zhejiang University Finance College branch. Now everyone on campus believes we're a large digital chain store, firmly convinced. Even if you beat me to death, I couldn't come up with such a brilliant strategy! Sigh, I feel like my IQ and thinking are on a different level from Boss Su!"

A boss who can even play with a store name, aren't you impressed?

Not to mention those endless management and marketing tactics.

Kang Baohong feels that following Su Zelin, he learns many extremely useful new things every day, eagerly absorbing the knowledge to enrich himself.

"However, the small peak during the New Year's holiday was a little upsurge for device purchases, and such high sales can't always be guaranteed. Aside from that, each semester's return-to-school season also sees a peak in device purchases. These time periods should have the highest revenue; other months by comparison will be calmer!"

Afraid that Kang Yulian would imagine it too ideally, thinking every month could earn that much, Kang Baohong added a few more words.

The vice principal's wife was already very satisfied, just a single peak month yielded a hundred and twenty thousand, and there are two major peaks. Even if it's less in ordinary months, wouldn't it be four to five hundred thousand annually, with her share being forty to fifty thousand?

Combined, her and her husband's salaries weren't even two thousand a year. Now sitting back and earning two to three times their joint salary, could this get any better?

Initially, she worried about this digital store not surviving. After all, the previous small computer store was barely hanging on, yet who knew New Century would be such a hit.

"But, Auntie, there's an issue I need to bring up with you."
