On August 18, 2000, the 19th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it is advisable to make money, travel, and open light. It was a great day to hold the opening ceremony. The whole family came to the store early in the morning and started to work. Zeng Renmin was busy taking out the artillery he bought yesterday and spreading it on the ground, and when the time came, it would be better. Liu Feng helped to hang up the red cloth and order red envelopes in the store, which would be useful; Zeng Hao coordinated the overall situation and arranged for the newly recruited clerks to prepare tea.

Since Liu Feng knew that his son had opened a game hall in the county, according to the local dialect of his hometown, he said that he couldn't hold the door, and his own children were promising, and he couldn't wait for the people in ten miles and eight towns to know about it. In the afternoon, when I came back from the stall and had nothing to do, I chatted with my relatives and neighbors, and I would mention a few mouths while chatting. The opening ceremony was held today, and it was not good for the neighbors to invite them all over the place.

Around 8 o'clock, customers began to arrive one after another, those who didn't know how to come empty-handed to take advantage of a meal, and those who knew how to order flower baskets to come over. In the end, the seven aunts and eight aunts all came. Unexpectedly, the landlord Wang Xian and the industrial and commercial bureau in the county sent someone to send a flower basket over.

At 9:18, a family of three put on a red cloth, and Zeng Renmin lit firecrackers, crackling, crackling, and waiting for the cannons to finish. Zeng Hao and his father came to the door, one of them pulled a red cloth in his hand and counted it to 1.2.3, and together he tore the red cloth off the signboard. At this time, the people who came to the audience said that Wishing you prosperity and opening were good wishes. The father and son clasped their fists twice and said thank you and something like that. At this time, Liu Feng took out the red envelope of the bag and distributed it to them.

When this procedure is completed, it means that the game hall is officially opened. Zeng Hao originally put the firecrackers in front of the door and put them off, but his father proposed that there should be a ceremony to be grand, thinking that whether it was the opening of his own shop in his previous life or this life, or the first time the eldest girl went to the sedan chair, he agreed. This trip to the program really made Zeng Hao feel different. Looking at this store that started from scratch and ran every bit by himself, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

After going through the process, the time was almost noon, and many relatives and neighbors came, Zeng Hao asked his parents to leave the store alone and arrange for these people to go to the designated restaurant for lunch. He gathered the employees over and said, "I was also busy here when it just opened today, and the six of you will take a red envelope and take turns to eat." I can't take care of you here. ”

Li Ming, the supervisor who took the lead, said: "It's okay, boss, you can go and get busy! We'll eat two by ourselves later." Let's clean up the inside of the store first. ”

"Okay, then you guys go get busy, I'll go first. After speaking, Zeng Hao walked out of the store and walked towards the restaurant.

"Wow!"

Seeing that the boss was gone, the little girl in the daytime class couldn't help it, curious about how much bread was in the red envelope given by the boss, and opened the red envelope and found that it was 100 yuan, and exclaimed. In this year, the wages of workers are about 20-30 a day, and the employees in the store are 600 plus a bonus at the end of the month. Li Ming is the supervisor, and he gives 1000 plus a bonus. I wouldn't be surprised to get a red envelope of 100.

"What's the matter, Xiaofang, what's your name, is there something wrong?" Li Ming was arranging for people to take turns to eat at this time, and when he heard the exclamation, he thought something was happening, and hurriedly turned his head and asked.

"There is no supervisor. I couldn't help it, you look at the red envelope, the boss is really generous. After Xiang Fang finished speaking, he took out the money in his hand and shook it. The others saw it and opened the red envelope and looked at it, and found that it was also a hundred, and happily hurriedly looked at Li Ming and said, "We are all one hundred, supervisor, look at you." ”

"What's so nice, it's not for you, it's almost there. Follow the rotation I just arranged to eat. Li Ming waved his hand and finished speaking, but he didn't open the red envelope and walked to the side to check it himself.

Zeng Hao rushed to the hotel and saw his mother standing alone at the door with a straight face, so he hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's the matter, Mom? Who upset you?" ”

When Liu Feng saw his son coming, he complained: "Who else can it be, it's not your father's relative." When I first came over, I heard some people complaining that we were stingy, opening such a big store, and the red envelope was only 20 yuan, and we were asking for food. ”

Seeing his mother say this, Zeng Hao also complained: "This is still stingy, no matter whether adults or children are all 20 as long as one person comes, if there are two more in the family, they can raise enough for a small hundred, how else can it be considered atmospheric." Mom, don't be angry, the new store is opening today, these are not worth being angry about. ”

If you are narrow-minded in business, you can be angry to death in the face of all kinds of buyers every day. Seeing that his son comforted himself and gradually calmed down, Liu Feng relieved himself and said, "But no, do you know? Your uncle asked for the money back some time ago, and a few days later, he came to the house and asked me to take your aunt to do business." I ignored him, and I didn't know where he went to worship a master by himself, and within two days the goods were shopped. ”

"Okay, Mom, since the money has been repaid, how to use it is their business. Our family can't manage these things, and we will deal with the good ones in the future, and deal with them less if they are not good. I'll go first, you pack up and come in quickly, it's going to be dinner soon. After speaking, he didn't wait for his mother, he walked in first, raised his state, and went to toast later.

At the dinner table, everyone praised Zeng Renmin's family for their ability, and it only took a long time to save such a big hall in the county. Some people want to come to the store to help with the strength of the wine, not to mention the more money and less money, they can help watch the store, and everyone can rest assured that they are neighbors; Zeng Renmin, who is all brothers and sisters, is not good at saying anything.

Wine is not drunk and everyone is drunk, Zeng Renmin is not good at drinking, this will be poured a few more glasses, listening to the flattery of relatives next to him, his resolute tone gradually began to soften.

Zeng Hao saw that his father was going to promise something, and before he could say it, Zeng Hao hurriedly interrupted his father with his hand, and whispered to his father: "Dad, don't promise blindly, I don't recruit idlers in this store." ”

Zeng Renmin replied with the strength of the wine: "They are all relatives, so what's the matter with a favor, it's no big or small." ”

Seeing that his father wanted to make decisions for himself after drinking, he was also angry, and said directly to him regardless of the occasion: "Dad, although this store is a business license registered with your ID card, but in the final analysis, I made it out single-handedly. You can't be the master alone, and you can't be the master. ”

Zeng Renmin's face turned pale when he heard his son say this. I feel that this son didn't save face for him in front of people. I wanted to have a seizure, but I didn't say anything at the dinner table. Beckoning everyone to eat and drink.

Liu Feng said to his son next to him: "Okay, you two don't say a word." ”

"You also saw it just now, these relatives can't see my family's good, and they want to intervene. I was afraid that my dad would not be able to move his face, so I gave him a vaccination in advance, and told him to think about what he said first, and not to agree as soon as his mind was hot. Zeng Hao complained to his mother next to him

Liu Feng answered: "That's right, you should say so, your father has been praised by others for a few words during this time, and he has to go to heaven and don't know who he is." I support it, if he dares to pack the ticket directly, I won't finish it for him. ”

After listening to what Liu Feng said, Zeng Hao sighed in his heart, I really want to say that if I don't have your big mouth to help me promote it for free everywhere, can this be the case? The difference between you and him is not too big. It's just that the crow doesn't think it thinks about the pig black.

After lunch, Zeng Hao was out of sight and out of mind, he couldn't greet these relatives, so he had to wait for his parents to have a headache, and after saying hello to them, he went to the store to have a look.

walked to the store and asked Li Ming, "How is it?"

Li Ming saw the boss coming over and hurriedly said: "Very good boss, since the opening today, people have started to try to play one after another." So far, about 1,000 coins have been sold. The main thing is to focus on the ten coin machines. Five of the eight billiard tables were also used. Water and snacks don't sell much. ”

After listening to him finish the situation, it was not bad after thinking about it, three cents a coin, almost three hundred in half a day, and it is not the peak stage yet, and the income of arcades and other aspects can be about 1,000 a day. said that it was hard work. This Friday afternoon is a peak period for students, and here is an eye on the point, the morning shift and the evening shift are well connected. After some explanation, Zeng Hao's wine at noon will start to rise, and after explaining, he went to the teahouse next to him to order a cup of tea to sober up, and by the way.

Speaking of Li Ming, the name sounds ordinary, and the appearance looks even more ordinary, belonging to the kind of person who is unfamiliar with him and will forget it in the next second, Zeng Hao posted a notice to the recruitment supervisor that day, and ran to the store to say that he wanted to apply, Zeng Hao saw him like this, and the clothes he wore could only be described as clean, and there were several patches, so he asked him if he knew what the arcade coin machine was? He said he didn't know.

Zeng Hao was amused by his words, he didn't even know about the arcade coin machine, and he dared to say that he came to apply for a supervisor?

Zeng Hao held the mentality of watching the excitement again, and asked: "Do you know how to operate, how to publicize, and how to manage?" He still shook his head and said he didn't know.

Being a man is in moderation, and after seeing that he is almost funny, he said to him: "You don't know anything, what do I want you to do, it's not suitable to apply for a supervisor." ”

Li Ming hurriedly replied: "I have been a soldier for 7 years, I can fight, I know that a field like this requires people to control the field, I can do it." After speaking, he felt that what he said was not convincing, and without waiting for Zeng Hao to speak, he went directly outside to pick up a few bricks left after the decoration of the shop and walked in, standing opposite Zeng Hao, holding the brick in his left hand and waving his right hand. The brick in 'Bang's hand was cut in half.

Zeng Hao saw a real person like this for the first time in his previous life and in this life, and he was stunned, Li Ming saw that Zeng Hao didn't speak, thinking that it was not enough, what he just performed was just the routine operation in the army at that time, and he put the bricks on the ground. After roaring, he slapped his palm on the brick, and the brick was suddenly shaken into a good piece.

Zeng Hao was woken up by Li Ming's low roar, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, he had a headache because of the town, isn't this sleepy to send a pillow? It doesn't matter if you don't understand anything else, it's good to be in town, and the director of a small shop in a county town doesn't need to know too much about things, like this kind of entertainment place needs people who can press things, and when the time comes, it's a big deal to be more busy, just arrange things for him to do, and agree to him. Tell him to come to work then.
