Yang Lin turned his head and saw that it was a middle-aged uncle, with a big beer belly, a high hairline, and signs of rejection, and his face was quite kind.

"Little brother, is it your first time?" the uncle hiccuped.

Yang Lin nodded and smiled.

The uncle glanced at Su Rou and saw her walking away, so he asked in a low voice, "Do you want to know why there are no guests here?"

"Brother, do you know?" this uncle looked like a regular customer. Yang Lin was interested and came over: "I want to hear the details." "

The uncle glanced at the cocktail on Yang Lin's table and smiled without saying a word.

Yang Lin was slightly stunned, immediately reacted, and shouted at Su Rou: "Boss, have a glass of whiskey!"

"Two more pieces of ice! The uncle smiled with satisfaction.

Taking the wine glass handed over by Su Rou, the uncle took a sip and showed a satisfied expression.

When Su Rou walked away, he pulled Yang Lin closer and whispered:

"Little brother. Have you seen the decoration style around the city? Guess what, how many years has this SR bar been open?"

Yang Lin looked around for a while, a little uncertain: "The style is old." It's a bit of an old bar in Europe and the United States in the last century, not to mention, it's been more than ten years!"

The uncle shook his head and held out two fingers.

"Twenty years?" Yang Lin was a little surprised, "Isn't that ...... That's when '98?"

A 20-year-old bar is a rarity in Sioux City.

I heard Manager Jia say that the bar was passed down by Su Rou's father, so Su Rou can be said to have grown up with this bar.

No wonder Su Rou looks only twenty-six or seventeen years old, but her bartending techniques are so sophisticated.

"But since this bar is so old, even if it is not well managed, it will not be so many customers, right?" Yang Lin was a little puzzled.

The uncle took another sip, with a look of remembrance on his face: "This matter has to start with Su Lao's death in a car accident three years ago." "

"Su Laogui?"

"I almost forgot you were new here. The uncle patted his forehead and explained: "Su Laogui is the father of Boss Xiao Su, that is, the previous owner of SR Bar. Because his right foot is a little lame and he walks with a limp, we old customers call him Su Lao Crutch. I really miss it, Boss Xiao Su was still in junior high school at that time. is so handsome, Fenghe Lu praises everything, Su Lao Gui gave birth to a good daughter!"

When Yang Lin heard this, he turned his head to look at Su Rou in the corner of the bar, and couldn't help but nod.

This side face, this appearance, even in junior high school, is definitely a big beauty at the school flower level.

"Back then. Probably the best years for the SR bar business. Later, the economy of Sioux City developed rapidly, and in just a few years, more than a dozen bars and nightclubs were opened on Fenghe Road, and the reputation of the bar street began at that time. "

"With peers, the competition begins. You should have heard that behind the street of bars on Fenghe Road, more than a dozen bars and nightclubs, and discotheques, there is a common boss -- Gao Tianyi Gao Boss! "

Hearing this, Yang Lin gradually understood.

The business of the SR bar is in such a depression, Su Rou even mortgaged the house and the bank loan, it must have something to do with this high boss!

Sure enough, the uncle sighed: "As a bar with the oldest qualifications, SR Bar is naturally also targeted by Boss Gao. Five years ago, Boss Gao personally came to the door and bought 40% of the shares of SR Bar with Su Lao. "

"Su Laogui regards the SR bar as important as his daughter, and he has spent most of his life on it, how can he be willing to transfer the shares of the bar?"

Yang Lin nodded: "So, you offended this Gao boss?"

"Hmm. There was some sadness in the uncle's eyes, "Su Laogui is also a stubborn temper, if you don't sell it, you won't sell it, and he also quarreled with Boss Gao, and this beam is settled." "

Yang Lin sighed softly. I didn't speak, and continued to listen to my uncle.

Since then, Boss Gao has begun to suppress SR bars openly and secretly, and all kinds of vicious competition. At the beginning, Su Lao was here, and with the prestige and connections accumulated in the SR bar for more than ten years, he could still get by. But after a car accident three years ago took away Su Lao's abduction, Boss Xiao Su inherited his father's business, and the business of SR Bar began to decline all the way. "

"Because of Boss Gao?" Yang Lin's heart gradually became clear.

"That's right. The uncle nodded, "After all, Boss Xiao Su lacks some prestige, and many of her peers don't sell her face as a little girl." And Boss Gao is even more unscrupulous. Originally, it was just a robbery of business and maliciously lowering prices, but this year is good, so I just sent someone to make a scene!"

"Noisy, so arrogant?" Yang Lin was taken aback.

"But no!" the uncle sneered, "I send a few thugs to make trouble every once in a while, no matter how good the bar is, it can't withstand such a toss! "

As he spoke, the uncle pointed to a few customers not far away. All of them are middle-aged people. Except for Yang Lin, there was not a single young man present.

That's telling.

If a bar can't attract new customers, then it is equivalent to a slow death. Because the number of regular customers will always gradually decrease.

And if there's always a thug to make trouble, that's for a bar that's open for business. Definitely a fatal blow!

"By the way, isn't there still security at the bar?" Yang Lin suddenly thought and asked.

If there were security guards, those thugs wouldn't be so rampant, right?

The uncle smiled bitterly: "Security guards are also people, everyone lives in this acre of land in Suzhou City, and they don't see anyone looking up." Later, the business of the bar became worse and worse, and the boss of Xiao Su wanted to save expenses more than a month ago. dismissed the few remaining security guards. "

This is not surprising to Yang Lin.

Su Rou can't even repay the bank's loan, and it's useless for the security guard to keep it, and she can save some expenses if she speculates.

After this understanding, Yang Lin now understands Su Rou's situation almost well.
