Charlie asked curiously, “Since how long have you bought it, the Snack Street?”
Angela thought for a while and said, “I have had it for more than ten years, I bought it in the year my father got married. It came down.”
Charlie asked her “Do you know how much it cost when you bought it?”
“Forgot…” Angela said embarrassedly, “Actually, I was not sensitive to this aspect and I was not old at that time. It’s big, I just think I just wanted to keep that street, so I asked my dad to buy it, how much it cost, I really don’t know.”
Charlie asked again, “Then how do you know that there is a deficit of 200,000 a month?”
“The manager told me.” Angela said “Before I was an adult, my dad let people run this snack street. After I became an adult, he gave it to me to manage it, but I didn’t know how to manage it. I thought yes, it is nothing more than to ensure that everyone operates as usual and not to increase their rents. In addition, the general environment of the snack street is quite messy, especially the garbage and mice and cockroaches, so I asked the manager to arrange a special cleaning staff to help them every day. Everyone cleans up, cleans up garbage, catches mice and cockroaches…”
Angela added “Oh yes, before, I didn’t need to lose so much every month, but now most of the losses are because the labor price has been increasing. Cleaners cost more than 10,000 a month, so the deficit is increasing, from tens of thousands at the beginning to 200,000 now.”
