Chapter 161: Sky-high bride price
Another day has passed, and the marketing plan of the dark fragrance has finally been completely made, I plan to take the route of joining, and at the same time set up a membership system, and the franchise itself has a level gradient, so that a wave of funds can be returned as soon as possible, while Lan Yu still has a sum of money left to her by Annie selling assets before leaving, the funds required for this plan are still enough.
On this day, I went to the dark incense flower shop in Yuexiu District early in the morning, because this is our base, and I plan to communicate with Lan Yu with the printed plan.
When I arrived at the flower shop, I found Lan Yu squatting on the ground happily playing with Tinker Bell, I stopped and stood in the doorway watching this scene, thinking that if Anne was still here, then she would definitely play with Lan Yu with Tinker Bell, thinking about their playful appearance, I also smiled.
"I'm C! Why don't you walk without a sound!" Lan Yu looked frightened when she saw me suddenly appearing behind her.
"I've been in the house for two minutes, and you're too fascinated to notice I'm coming. ”
She ignored me, got up and went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then wiped her hands with a tissue, and said, "Say, I heard that you made a marketing plan for dark incense?"
I nodded, and then handed her the plan, and she sat in her chair and looked at it, and after looking at it for a while, the expression on her face became more and more serious, until she finished reading the last page, and her serious expression changed to some doubt.
"If you take the franchise route, you can indeed develop very quickly, but ...... Do you think the quality control and post-training services of the store can withstand it?"
Lan Yu's concern is right, the most likely mistake point of the franchise route is also here, if the scope is large, it is very difficult to control the quality of each store, and there may be other merchants impersonating and cheating. Secondly, Lan Yu and I were not professional flower shop people, and after Anne left, the flower shop's business also declined, so Lan Yu simply fired those clerks before.
Still, I think these are things that can be solved.
I pondered for a while, looked at Lan Yu and said calmly: "As long as you choose to move forward, there will inevitably be difficulties, unless we stagnate, I have also considered what you said, but if you agree to let Dark Fragrance go like this, then we will discuss the solution to the problem together." ”
She put her index finger on her chin, as if considering my words, and was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, then do it, you are right, as long as you develop, there will definitely be difficulties, but I can't watch what my sister left me go downhill little by little." ”
I was so impressed by these words that she seemed to take everything that had to do with Anne very seriously.
"It's best if you think so. ”
......
After Lan Yu and I reached an agreement, we said that we would first find out what difficulties we would face next according to the plan we had selected so far, and then write them down and summarize them, and finally find ways to solve them one by one together.
We've each found time to do this for the past two days, and this is the first official collaboration between me and Sappy. On this day, I was working in a rental house, and because it was raining outside, I didn't bother to go out and go to the dark incense. It's really troublesome, and I hate spring the most, not only does it rain a lot, but it always has that kind of dark and damp weather.
It's only about three o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky outside the house is almost the same as the night, so I had no choice but to get up and turn on the light, and pour a glass of water to drink by the way, but when I just took a sip, the mobile phone that had been quiet on the table all day suddenly rang, and I walked over to see that it was Cheng Yu calling.
I put my glass aside, answered the phone, and said, "Hey, why did you suddenly remember to call me today?"
"You didn't go anywhere today, Saturday, did you?"
To be honest, I've almost forgotten what day of the week is since I quit my job, he doesn't say, I don't remember that it's Saturday, "No, it's raining outside, I'm not going anywhere, what's wrong?"
"I'm driving to your place now, it's going to get off the highway. Cheng Yu's voice was a little responsive, and it seemed that he should have driven the amplifier directly in the car and called me.
"Why did you come to Guangzhou suddenly? If you don't tell me in advance, I'll go out to pick you up. "I'm a little surprised, after all, the Spring Festival will be in half a month, which means that we will be able to meet soon, but why did he come to me at this time?
"Don't pick it up, I remember the way, I'll go straight to where you live later. Let's not talk about it yet, I'm off the highway. ”
"Alright, contact me when you arrive. Looking at the rain outside, which was not ready to stop at all, I reminded me uneasily: "You drive carefully, drive slowly, it's raining outside!"
"Yes, hang up. After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for my reply, I held the mobile phone hanging in the air, stunned for a while before putting it down, always felt that he must be looking for me to have something important, otherwise he would not have come directly to Guangzhou to meet with me, instead of making a phone call to make it clear.
About an hour later, Cheng Yu called me and told me to go downstairs. I looked at the time, it was going to be past four o'clock, so I simply changed my clothes and shoes, and planned to go out to dinner with him.
When I got into the car, I fastened my seat belt and said, "Let's find a place to finish our meal, let's talk while we eat." ”
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu refused: "No, it's inconvenient to eat and talk outside, where is the vegetable market? Just buy a few vegetables and go back to make them, or buy some cooked food." ”
I thought about it, that's okay, and then led the way and called Cheng Yu to the vegetable market, basically bought cooked food, and bought a green vegetable to go back to fry. I thought this was the end, but Cheng Yu asked me if there was any wine in the house, and if not, he would buy it. Well, it seems that the topic of conversation in the evening is to use alcohol to kill his sorrows, but didn't he tell me before that he wanted to quit smoking and drinking?
During the meal, we had something to eat first, the two of us drank a few glasses of wine, and I saw that he should be about to talk about it, so I took out a pack of cigarettes and took out one, and at the same time, Cheng Yu quickly snatched one from the cigarette case and lit it before me.
"What are you robbing? It's not that you won't give it to you, but didn't you say before that you want to quit smoking and drinking to get pregnant? Why did you break all your vows today?" I looked at him straight and looked at him for a while before I lit the cigarette.
Cheng Yu took a puff of cigarette and said in a deep voice: "Quit a fart! ”
"You...... What's going on? Is it your problem, or is it Konin's problem, or is it both of you?"
"It's a problem with life on this dog day!" he took a sip of wine, sighed and continued: "I'll just say it, we have seen each other's parents before, and we all said that there was no problem at that time, but three days before Ke Ning and I were going to get the certificate, Ke Ning's mother suddenly mentioned the bride price, and the price was 200,000!" He stretched out two fingers and gestured at the number "20", his expression gradually became angry.
"No, isn't the relationship between Auntie and our mother always very good? How did this become so realistic at a critical moment!" Even I think such a request is very unreasonable, because in our hometown, there is very little such a thing as a "sky-high bride price", but it is still an acquaintance relationship that our family meets.
"The relationship is good, hehe, not bad fart!TMD, tell me that it's because Kening has a younger brother who is about to go to college, and it's only January now, and the college entrance examination hasn't ended yet, so I'm thinking about going to college to pay tuition, no, as far as I know about her brother, it's not fucking reading material at all, it's useless!"
I patted Cheng Yu on the shoulder, signaled him not to be so excited, paused for a moment, and then asked: "Then what is Ke Ning's attitude towards this matter, the most important thing now is to look at her attitude." ”
When I asked this, Cheng Yu was angry and laughed, the kind of smile that came out of the nose, "This is even funnier, her own attitude is ambiguous, and then I deliberately tried to test her the night before yesterday, thinking about doing X with her at night, and what happened? She actually asked me to bring T this time, otherwise she wouldn't let me touch her." I laughed, she was the one who said she wanted to have a child, and she was the one who wanted to get married soon, but now she gave me this request, and I obeyed it!!"
Hearing this, I was helpless for a while, rubbed my eyebrows with a headache, and then took two cigarettes, one for Cheng Yu and one for myself. Cheng Yu had just lit a cigarette and drank two glasses of wine in a row.
I was silent for a moment and asked, "So what are you going to do now?"
Cheng Yu fell into a long silence, for example, for a while before he said: "When I came to Guangzhou in the morning, I talked to Ke Ning and asked her if she could discuss with her mother and lower the bride price a little, just look at this last step, if you can, then pass, if not, don't pass, who do you love!"
"And when will she give you an answer?"
"I didn't say it, but I told her before I left that I had to give me an answer tomorrow. He narrowed his eyes and took a drag on his cigarette, then touched my cup and motioned for one.
I took a sip of my drink, nodded, and stopped talking.
Cheng Yu will definitely stay with me for the night this night, because we all drank a lot of wine, so we went back to our rooms to sleep at eleven o'clock. I was lying in bed, obviously sleepy, but not sleepy, my brain was still thinking about things, and I felt that I should do something.
......
The next day, I got up before Cheng Yu and found some steamed buns in the refrigerator for breakfast, and there was a carton of milk on the table. After I finished eating, I left the rest for Cheng Yu, who was still asleep, and then changed my clothes and went out early, and the destination was the Four Seasons Hotel Lanxuan.
