Chapter 158
After the waiter left, Celeste pulled out her phone and quickly started tapping on it.
Liam glanced over and saw that she was using a calculator, puzzled, he asked, “What are you calculating?”
Celeste widened her eyes, still focused on the screen, I’m trying to figure out how much money a bar like this can make in a month.”
Liam couldn’t quite understand this woman’s train of thought, always feeling like her mind was filled with unconventional ideas.
Is there a peak and off-season for bars? Celeste looked up and asked him.
“Of course,” Liam replied, “Winter is the off-season, with many people going home around Christmas, so there are fewer customers. Summer is the peak season, people like to go out at night, and with the hot weather, bars become a popular place to cool down. Spring doesn’t have as many customers as summer, but there are still many other holidays, so the revenue is pretty good.”
Celeste seemed very interested, “According to this calculation, the net profit in a year could reach around a million.”
“More or less” Liam paused, “Why are you suddenly calculating this?”
“I was thinking, what about opening a bar around here?”
Liam glanced at her, “Not so good, I guess you’ll lose money and close down before you even make any.”
Celeste was taken aback, “You’re such a buzzkill! So many bars are making a fortune now!”
Liam helplessly curved his lips, “This bar took four years to become profitable, with the first four years all about investing money. Bar business isn’t that easy, this place is too far from the city center, and the security in this area isn’t that great either. Customers come from all over the social spectrum, and a little carelessness could lead to closing down due to certain incidents.”
Celeste suddenly stopped, “How do you know so much?”
Liam casually said, “This bar is owned by the Reed family.”
Celeste’s mouth dropped open…
Seeing Celeste’s surprised expression, Liam added, “It’s under my management now
Celeste was stunned…
So the one who came up with this weird marketing strategy was Liam!
She thought, this ruthless boss of J City was really something!
As they were chatting, a girl with roses walked up to their table.
“Handsome, can I sit next to you?”
This girl had just been sitting at the table behind them. She had a sweet face, blonde hair, long and straight legs under her shorts, a beautiful waistline, and a white tank top that covered her chest just right, which was very ample.
Celeste glanced at herself and felt a little down, thinking, why were kids growing so well nowadays?
However, Liam didn’t even look at the girl and said indifferently, “As you wish.”
The girl pulled out a chair and sat down, supporting her chin with one hand and tilting her head, unabashedly sizing up Liam.
“Sir, did you come here after work? It’s rare for men to wear suits here.”
Her voice was sweet and pleasant, and even Celeste felt like she was about to be intoxicated.
But Liam was unmoved, even a bit disdainful, “Is there a rule against wearing suits?”
The girl smiled and said, “Of course not. Suits can expose the weaknesses of one’s figure, but you look great in a suit. I couldn’t take my eyes off you when you came in
Celeste thought, “This girl really knows how to talk.”
Liarn replied, “I’m just here with a friend”
