Chapter 423: Cooperation
Liu Yan was a little strange, how did he contact a noodle restaurant, this doesn't seem to be high-grade enough, it doesn't seem like an occasion to talk about business.
He sent Liu Fei a WeChat message back: "Why did you choose a noodle restaurant?
Liu Fei replied: "This is Bai Shaoxuan, he said that he has liked to eat fried noodles since he was a child, and he wants to eat this today." ”
"This Bai Shao is quite interesting, didn't he treat us as outsiders?"
"Yes, that's what he meant, I was going to invite him to the best restaurant in the capital to eat, in your name, but he said that he was going to eat fried noodles today, and he didn't want to eat anything else, so I had to listen to him. ”
Liu Yan smiled, thinking that this Bai Shao was quite interesting, so he replied: "Okay, I must arrive early." ”
At around 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yan put on a hat, sunglasses and a mask, and took a taxi in full gear to the fried sauce noodle restaurant.
He saw that Liu Fei was already standing at the door waiting for him, and there was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed in a famous brand and dressed fashionably.
No need to ask, this person should be in vain.
"Liu Fei, I'm here. Liu Yan said hello to Liu Fei first.
Liu Fei didn't recognize it at first, but she looked at it carefully, covered her mouth and smiled, and asked, "Why are you dressed like this?
Liu Yan reluctantly took off his sunglasses and mask and said: "No way, there are a lot of fans blocking me at the door of the hotel, so I can only run out of the back door." ”
Before Bai Shao next to him could wait for Liu Fei to introduce him, he came over impatiently, bent over, and took the initiative to stretch out his hands and said, "Liu Daxia, hello, it's such an honor to see you here!"
Liu Yan also stretched out his hand and said politely: "Hello, hello, don't be so polite, you are ......"
Liu Fei introduced beside him: "Mr. Liu, this is Bai Shao, who is very powerful in the capital. ”
"Hello Bai Shao, I have admired my name for a long time, Liu Fei often praises you in front of me. Liu Yan shook his hand and said.
"Oh, what's my name, Liu Daxia is really a celebrity!"
"Bai Shao, don't call me a hero, I can't afford these two words. ”
The two were greeting each other, and a man and a woman next to them walked out of the fried sauce noodle restaurant, and after they saw Liu Yan, they whispered a few words, and then ran over with excitement on their faces.
"You're Liu Yan, oh my God, is it really you?" the man came over to shake hands with Liu Yan.
Bai Shao glared, opened the man's hand, and shouted, "Mr. Liu is busy, don't you see?
The man was just about to get angry, but when he saw that it was Bai Shao, he was so frightened that he had to leave with his girlfriend in a huff, Liu Yan was a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said to the two people: "I have something to do today, I'm sorry!"
The man and woman also beckoned to Liu Yan, jumped up excitedly, and took out their mobile phones at the same time to take two photos.
Bai Shao said: "Liu Daxia, oh no, Mr. Liu, let's go into the box, there are many people outside, and it will be troublesome if you are surrounded by fans for a while." ”
Liu Yan nodded, walked into the fried noodle restaurant with Bai Shao and Liu Fei, and came to the small box that Bai Shao had booked in advance.
The fried noodles in the capital are a must, so there are many large and small noodle restaurants, and this noodle restaurant is a medium-sized noodle restaurant, with only four small boxes inside, and the other seats are in the hall.
"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, I should have invited you to a better place to eat. Bai Shao said politely.
Liu Yan waved his hand and said: "Don't be so polite, everyone is friends, you don't have to make a show, besides, the fried noodles are also delicious, I have long wanted to try the fried noodles in the capital, and today I finally borrowed your light to fulfill my wish!"
Bai Shao smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, you have been so popular these days, I am really honored to invite you to dinner." ”
"Don't say that, in fact, before the game, I asked Liu Fei to contact you, hoping to cooperate with you, but I have too many things on hand, so it has been delayed until today, I should say sorry to you. ”
At this time, the three bowls of fried noodles they ordered were served, and the three of them chatted while eating, Liu Fei said with a smile: "Bai Shao is also very busy, he said that he didn't have time before, but later he heard that the person he wanted to meet was you, so he pushed away all the entertainment, just to be able to meet you." Mr. Liu, are you signing for Bai Shao!"
Liu Fei was just ridiculing, but Bai Shao took it seriously, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, not only do I have to sign an autograph, but I also want to take a photo with Mr. Liu!"
As he spoke, he stopped eating, took out his mobile phone, stood up and came to Liu Yan's side, aimed at Liu Yan and himself, and asked Liu Yan to cooperate with him to take two group photos.
Liu Yan has met too many fanatical fans of this kind in the past few days, and he is used to it, so he cooperated with Bai Shao, holding scissor hands, and took two photos with him with a smile.
After the photo was finished, Bai Shao wanted Liu Yan to sign for him again, but did he bring a pen and paper with him, Liu Yan persuaded: "Bai Shao, don't use the signature, we will be familiar in the future, and there will be opportunities." The people in the capital are well-informed, and they will forget about me in a few days, hehe!"
Bai Shao waved his hand and said: "No, Mr. Liu, to be honest with you, I have never chased stars since I was a child, nor have I worshipped anyone." But I watched the whole game this time, and I really admired you for the five-body throw, especially the final battle between you and the devil of the Japanese country, it really made my blood boil! It is no exaggeration to say that you are today's national hero!"
The more Bai Shao spoke, the more excited she became, and she began to dance, Liu Fei was also surprised, she had never seen Bai Shao so out of shape before, in her impression before, Bai Shao was that kind of stable and low-key temperament, but after seeing Liu Yan today, he turned into a little fan brother, like a different person.
Liu Fei was embarrassed to mention the opening of the branch when she saw Liu Yan, so she could only turn to the topic.
"Bai Shao, have you forgotten what I told you?" asked Liu Fei with her left hand on her cheek and her right hand gently tapping on the dining table.
"What's the matter?" Bai Shao was stunned, he had already thrown the matter of the branch that Liu Fei had told him about, and now he was just thinking about Liu Yan, the idol.
"My Bai Dashao, I came to you to open a branch, and I forgot about it so quickly?" Liu Fei shook her head helplessly.
"Oh! yes!" Bai Shao patted his head, and then remembered, "It's a trivial matter to open a few branches, Mr. Liu can open a few if he wants to, I'll arrange it!"
Liu Yan said with a smile: "Bai Shao, our friends belong to friends, business belongs to business, you can help, but don't take care of everything, then I can't accept it." ”
Bai Shao regained a little calm, thought about it, and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you." That's right, I have a restaurant in Dongzhimen, and the benefits have not been good for more than two years, and I am planning to sell the store out in the past few months. It just so happens that you want to come to the capital to open a branch, so I'll just give it to you!"
When Liu Yan heard this, he was not very happy, but was silent for a while, and said: "Bai Shao, what about me, I am asking you for help, if there is a suitable store, it is okay to notify me in time, you can directly give me your store, how can this work?"
Bai Shao explained: "Mr. Liu, you misunderstood, so let's take you to my store in a while, and you will know!"
Liu Yan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, let's visit and learn the management of the Beijing Restaurant in a while." ”
The three of them finished eating noodles, Liu Yan settled the bill, and then rushed to Bai Shao's restaurant in Xizhimen together.
Xizhimen is one of the most prosperous areas in the capital, and this is only one of the restaurants in Bai Shao's hands, which shows his strength in the capital.
The name of the restaurant is "Yifu Family Banquet", which is a special cuisine in the north, plus a variety of dishes in the taste of Beijing, it is also a well-known restaurant in this area.
Bai Shao led the two into the restaurant, the waiter and foreman inside saw Bai Shaodu bowing respectfully, Bai Shao nodded slightly at them, Liu Yan was wearing a mask and sunglasses, and no one recognized him.
However, the waiters in the restaurant were secretly glancing at Liu Fei, they thought that Bai Shao had changed another girlfriend, and thought to themselves, this girlfriend is beautiful enough!
The three of them walked around the restaurant, and Liu Yan found that it was time for lunch, according to this area, there should be an endless stream of customers, but what he saw was that most of the seats in the restaurant were empty, and it seemed that there were more waiters than customers.
With such a good location and such a low passenger flow, as Bai Shao said, the business situation is very poor.
But why is that? Is the food not good? Or something else?
After coming to Bai Shao's office, Liu Yan asked, "Bai Shao, such a good location, why is there so little traffic?"
As soon as Liu Yan asked, Bai Shao's face rose with anger, and he said slowly: "Originally, half a year ago, my restaurant was still the most popular restaurant in this area, but later another restaurant was opened diagonally opposite our store, their cuisine is the same as our family's style, the taste is almost the same, and even the decoration style is very similar, but the price of the dishes is slightly cheaper, and my family's business has been robbed a lot." ”
When Liu Yan heard this, he smiled and persuaded: "Bai Shao, it's not that I'm talking about cool things, opening a restaurant is a little different from other businesses, that is, the more restaurants, the more popular it is, I don't think this is the reason why your hotel is depressed." ”
Bai Shao sighed and said: "Mr. Liu, I know what you mean, it's okay to compete normally, and I'm not so careful, but his boss has an old enmity with me, so his family's methods are also very bad, and he preaches it everywhere, saying that there is a problem with my family's food, and blatantly slandering me." Also, when we came here just now, did you notice that street entrance? They all sent people to distribute leaflets to publicize and intercept our customers. ”
Liu Yanyi frowned, if this is the case, then the methods of this competitor are too unauthentic, but he thought about it, in the capital, Bai Shao's power is very great, is this boss on the other side even better?
Liu Fei asked the question in Liu Yan's heart: "Bai Shao, what kind of enmity do you have with the owner of that restaurant?
