"It seems the price also affects fortune." Qin Yun thought to himself at this moment.
Previously, he set up a level-one Wealth Gathering Array in the milk tea shop. The profit from each cup of milk tea was not high, making at most a few dozen yuan, sometimes only a few yuan.
After setting up the array, customers kept coming in for milk tea one after another, with no time for rest.
However, the profit from each piece of clothing averaged over a hundred yuan, and there weren't many people in the store, averaging around five or six, preventing a crowded, rush-buying situation. There was even some interval time between selling each item.
"It seems this is the saturation point for a level-one Wealth Gathering Array."
He was continuously learning about the situation with this array.
"If I upgrade to a level-two Wealth Gathering Array, I wonder what the situation in the clothing store would be?" Qin Yun couldn't help but anticipate.
If it were like the milk tea sales, piece after piece, the store's daily profit could reach unimaginable levels!
"Yun, you're really lucky now. You won over a hundred thousand in the lottery earlier, and now the clothing store's business is doing so well," Qin Xuan said, looking at her younger brother with an unusual glint in her eyes.
She keenly sensed that something seemed to have changed about Qin Yun.
"The fortune teller said that after I turned eighteen, the God of Wealth would possess me."
Qin Yun smiled and said, "Sister, you can always help out in the clothing store from now on."
Hearing Qin Yun's words, Qin Xuan was obviously tempted. She thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "If I stay here, Xiaojun won't have anyone to take care of him."
This was the family business, and with business so good, she of course wanted to work here, but she couldn't help worrying about her son.
Hearing this, Qin Yun didn't say much more, as it indeed was an issue.
Her husband, Li Yihang, gets so busy at the factory that when he leaves in the morning, he often doesn't return until ten or eleven at night, leaving no time to look after the child.
As for keeping him in the store, Li Jun is now four years old, an age when children are naturally very active and cannot sit still, making it unsuitable to keep him in one place.
After finishing their meal, Qin Yun and Qin Xuan returned to the store and let Zhao Mei, Feng Lan, and cashier Zhang Qing eat.
The afternoon kept passing by, and after noon, people in the store gradually increased again.
Even though the afternoon fell a little short of the morning, clothes were still being sold continuously, and by five in the afternoon, more than thirty pieces had been sold!
After dinner, the clothing store remained open, but fewer and fewer people came in.
Quickly, as it reached almost ten at night, there were hardly any people on the street or in the store.
Celestial Fortune Clothing finally stopped business operations.
After more than thirteen consecutive hours, Qin Yun, Qin Xuan, Zhao Mei, and others quickly checked the day's sales after closing, all showing extremely excited expressions.
The computer system indicated that eighty pieces of clothing were sold throughout the day, with a turnover of sixteen thousand nine hundred, and after deducting the cost of the clothes, the net profit was eight thousand seven hundred!
"Yun, this isn't a dream, is it?" Zhao Mei felt a bit unreal.
Even after deducting all sorts of other expenses besides the clothing cost, such as rent, utilities, staff salaries, etc., the profit should still reach close to eight thousand!
Earning so much in one day was unimaginable to her.
"Mom, of course what's shown on the computer is real," Qin Yun said with a smile. "Today is just the beginning; we can make more money in the future."
He felt joy in his heart, thinking about how the level-one Wealth Gathering Array could alleviate his parents' hard work and improve the family's situation.
"Second sister-in-law, Yun is making so much money at such a young age. You and your brother-in-law should just enjoy life," Feng Lan couldn't help but say with envy.
How much could they earn in a month if they made this much in one day?
"Boss, I'm off duty."
As the few people chatted excitedly, a tired voice suddenly said, and Zhang Qing looked at Qin Yun.
She usually started work at eight in the morning and would be off by four in the afternoon, and now it was already ten at night.
"Thanks for your hard work today. You get a raise this month," Qin Yun said to the weary Zhang Qing with a smile.
"Thank you, boss." Upon hearing about the raise, Zhang Qing immediately perked up and quickly responded.
After Zhang Qing left, Qin Yun turned to Zhao Mei and said, "Mom, about the clothing store recruitment we talked about earlier, we need to hire more people given the current situation."
Feng Lan was only helping out today since the factory was on holiday, but she would be going back to work at the factory tomorrow.
The same went for Qin Xuan, who needed to deal with Li Jun's schooling, meals, and other activities once the eighth came.
As for Qin Yun, he would be returning to classes tomorrow.
They were now in their senior year of high school and had been given a five-day holiday.
This was somewhat of an exception, as previous senior classes usually only had three days off.
So, realistically, the only ones able to consistently stay in the store long-term were Zhao Mei and Zhang Qing.
This time, Zhao Mei did not oppose and nodded.
"Yun, I have some colleagues who are currently making their own clothes at home and taking on simple jobs. I can contact them and see if they would like to come work in the store." Hearing her brother's words, Qin Xuan thought for a moment and said.
"Great, sister. This time we need to hire at least seven people: three sales staff and one cashier regularly in the store," Qin Yun said.
Although the store isn't large, the customer flow maintains certain numbers, and they can't just ignore the customers, right? Today, with just Qin Yun, Qin Xuan, Zhao Mei, and Feng Lan, they barely coped.
However, today was the opening day, and there was a ten percent discount. Even those without much interest in buying clothes might make a purchase since the prices would return to normal after today.
Therefore, tomorrow's sales might decrease somewhat, and since it's during the May Day holiday, with many people on break, foot traffic should also decrease after May Day.
Of course, even if the customer flow decreases, Qin Yun isn't worried about a drastic drop in sales due to the level-one Wealth Gathering Array.
Having three people in the store should be sufficient.
Along with a cashier, each shift would require four people.
The main issue is that the business is too good for just one or two people to handle.
Since the store opens at eight in the morning and closes well past ten at night, two shifts of four people each are necessary, meaning at least eight people are needed.
"Yun, do we really need to hire that many people?" Zhao Mei couldn't help but ask when she heard Qin Yun.
Having seen how much money the store made today, Qin Yun's standing in her mind drastically increased, so even though she wasn't entirely satisfied, she expressed it that way.
"Mom, didn't you see how busy we were today? If we don't hire more people, even the customers will go unattended, which might make them feel neglected and leave," Qin Yun explained.
