161, "Jianjian Bun Shop" No. 2 store
After nearly a week of investigation and comparison, the location of Wang Jian's second steamed bun shop was finally determined.
The address of the new store is located near the Guanyin Temple Pedestrian Street in Jiangbei District, the area is about the same as the current bun shop, and it is also about 30 square meters.
The reason why Wang Jian chose this place is that it is backed by a pedestrian street, and the flow of people is guaranteed, but it is not a pedestrian street, so the rent and sublease fees are not as high as the pavements of the pedestrian street.
Second, it is his "Jianjian Bun", unlike some Internet celebrity stores that don't want to go to the second time when they go once, but win with taste and quality, and what they do is repeat customers, regular customers, relying on the "word of mouth" and "running to tell each other" of old buyers, so there is no need for the golden location of the pedestrian street that is too dominant, but the price is expensive.
However, this shop, because it is backed by the Guanyin Temple, one of the largest business districts in Jiangcheng, is still 1,000 more expensive than the rent of this store in Nanping, 5,000 a month, and the other party has to charge a sublease fee of 20,000 yuan!
The rent of 5,000 yuan a month is just half a day's income for Wang Jian, and the sublease fee of 20,000 yuan is only a two-day effort for him now, so Wang Jian grinded with the other party for about ten minutes, and after grinding down the price and sublease fee, he didn't bother to continue to talk more, and directly asked the other party to call the landlord to sign the contract.
Because the newly rented shop has already been renovated to a certain extent, Wang Jian now only needs to change the signboard, re-make the back kitchen, and then simply unify the decoration style, and get close to the first store, which is basically the same.
He planned a time, and estimated that it would be about a week before the new store could open for business.
While redecorating and decorating the new store, Wang Jian asked Zeng Jingrong to start recruiting people, recruiting five more, training here in the old store for a few days, and waiting for the store over there to be decorated in the Guanyin Temple, and then he could take up his post immediately.
As for the manager of the new store, needless to say, it naturally fell on Lin Xiaoya's head.
Therefore, in the recent period, Lin Xiaoya has simply become the busiest person in the whole steamed bun shop, not only helping in the old shop in the morning, but also learning to steam steamed buns and steamed buns and flower rolls, cook porridge and pickle vegetables with Zeng Jingrong; In the afternoon, she also has to follow Wang Jian to the new store to supervise the decoration, and let the workers make simple changes to the lobby and back kitchen according to the requirements of the two, so as to make the decoration style of the two steamed bun shops tend to be the same; and after work at night, Lin Xiaoya has to humbly ask Zeng Jingrong how to be the head of a store.
Some questions, especially some subordinate skills, in front of other employees, she is not easy to ask Zeng Jingrong after all, and Zeng Jingrong is not easy to answer, but when there are no outsiders at home, the two have no scruples, one is to humbly seek advice, and the other is to teach each other, and share their experience, experience, and lessons as a store manager to help Lin Xiaoya, the new store manager, grow.

On March 2, that is, the day of the Lantern Festival in the old calendar year, there were no gongs and drums, no firecrackers, and even no flower baskets.
On the opening day, the revenue was less than 2,000 yuan, only one-fifth of the old store in Nanping.
"I'm sorry, Brother Jian, I'm ...... I didn't do a good job and let you down. In the evening, Lin Xiaoya, who returned home, said to Wang Jian with red eyes, a look of self-blame and guilt.
Because the No. 2 store in Jiangbei is a new store, unlike the No. 1 store, which has a large mass base before it opens, Wang Jian didn't expect the No. 2 store to be as popular as the No. 1 store, making thousands of dollars a day. Now the turnover of No. 2 store 189 is also expected by Wang Jian.
So, he began to comfort Lin Xiaoya and said:
"Xiaoya, don't blame yourself. The No. 2 store is not very popular at the moment, and many people don't know that we have opened a new store. Now the No. 2 store has a turnover of almost 2,000 is a bit beyond my expectations. We didn't advertise, we didn't advertise, we didn't advertise, it was a bit slow at first, and it took a while to operate, and after the reputation of 'Jianjian Baozi' fermented among diners, there will naturally be more repeat customers. Be patient, huh?"
Wang Jian's comfort made Lin Xiaoya feel a little better, but she didn't feel much better.
Among her and Jiang Yan, two old employees, Wang Jian let her be the first store manager instead of Jiang Yan, although she felt that her abilities were not worse than Jiang Yan, but there were obvious shortcomings in working hours, and she was still studying, except for the winter and summer vacations, she could only work part-time the rest of the time, so Wang Jian chose her to be the store manager instead of the "more suitable" Jiang Yan, in fact, she still took care of her and gave favors.
So, when the new store was still in preparation, Lin Xiaoya secretly told herself that she must work hard, and she must not live up to Wang Jian's expectations, and strive to make the turnover of the No. 2 store catch up with the No. 1 store in a short period of time, or even surpass the No. 1 store, so as to be worthy of Wang Jian's love and ardent expectations.
It's a pity that the opening was not auspicious, and the cold reality of the turnover was only one-fifth of the No. 1 store, but it was like a blow to the head, and the confidence in her heart was instantly lost, and she only felt sorry for Wang Jian.

In the days that followed, as word of mouth spread among the first wave of diners who had eaten "Jianjian Baozi", the turnover of "Jianjian Baozi" No. 2 began to rise steadily at a daily rate of several hundred yuan.
Seeing that the turnover of his store began to grow steadily on the ideal curve, Wang Jian was basically relieved about the future of the store he had personally chosen.
However, although he was relieved, Lin Xiaoya, as the manager of the new store, was still a little depressed, and always felt that the growth rate was too slow, she dragged everyone back, and felt that such delicious steamed buns were so delicious, so delicious, and she felt full of energy after drinking the whole day, and she was extremely good at porridge and pickles, and there was a precedent for the success of the No. 1 store in front, the storefront, decoration, the training of new clerks, and the teaching of experience, Wang Jian's family almost did all the preparations for her, and she just went to "take office".
But it's such a simple thing, she didn't do it completely, she had a heavy trust, and several days passed, but she didn't let "Jianjian Bun" become popular in Jiangbei, and it became a popular store like No. 1 store that can't be eaten without queuing during peak hours.
Seeing Lin Xiaoya sullen, Jian's mother Zeng Yu and Jian sister Zeng Jingrong began to comfort her, telling her not to be too anxious, as long as the turnover increases, the tortoise and rabbit race, steady and steady, sooner or later the No. 2 store will be as popular as the No. 1 store.
"Aunt Zeng, Sister Jingrong, I know the truth that I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and I also understand that many things can't be too urgent, but ...... But I feel like I'm useless! You've done everything for me, and compared to when you were selling along the street with a cart, I'm so relaxed and lucky now, and I've run my new store like this, I'm ...... I'm ashamed of your expectations......"
The comfort of Jian Ma and Sister Jian not only did not make Lin Xiaoya relax, but brought more pressure to the girl, her eyes turned red directly, she lowered her head, and soon, Douda's tears fell down.
"Alas, what a girl with strong self-esteem and love to drill the horns!" Wang Jian on the side saw Lin Xiaoya crying in front of his mother and sister, and sighed in his heart, thinking, should he think of a way to make the No. 2 store popular in a short time?
But what can you do?
What can be done to make the No. 2 store an instant hit?
Wang Jian turned his mind and quickly figured it out.
"But that's a big hit!
"Once I come forward to advertise 'Jianjian Bun', the identity of 'Pink Cute Man' will inevitably be exposed in front of my mother and cousin who have seen my true face...... After hiding from the two of them for so long, perhaps, now is also the time to let them know the true face of their son/cousin...... "Leaning against the wall, pinching his chin with his hand, looking at Wang Jian, who was comforting Lin Xiaoya's mother and sister Jian, in the living room, thoughtfully, weighing and evaluating the impact and gains and losses of another identity exposed to his mother and cousin.
A minute later, Wang Jian walked up to the two of them, coughed twice at the three girls who were talking in a low voice, gestured with his hand to "STOP", and said loudly:
"Mom, sister, don't say it again. Xiaoya, don't be sad anymore. I have a way to make our new store popular all over Jiangcheng overnight, and even all over the country!"
Jian Ma and Zeng Jingrong raised their heads, stunned, and looked at their son and cousin with a foolish look.
"Jianjian, have you woken up?" said Jian's mother.
Zeng Jingrong, on the other hand, directly shook him in the eye and said with disdain:
"It's all over the city, it's all over the country, it's all over the country, ha-ha-ha...... Next month is April Fool's Day, you is a little early!" After speaking, he waved his hand at Wang Jian impatiently, "Get out, play your fighting sound! Don't you see that we are talking about women's affairs? Women's affairs, you are a man who is less involved!"
Jian's mother and cousin, one did not believe his words, and the other was "contempt" and "impatience".
However, after listening to Wang Jian's words, Lin Xiaoya, who was covered with pear blossoms and rain, was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she realized what Wang Jian wanted to do, and she immediately began to tremble all over. Lin Xiaoya's beautiful eyes widened, covered her mouth with her hand, and looked at Wang Jian with an incredulous, excited, and inquiring look.
Wang Jian nodded at Lin Xiaoya, signaling that the other party's guess was right, and then he found out his second-hand fruit 6SPLUS, opened Douyin, clicked on the backstage, and clicked on the latest short APP video with more than 20 million likes alone, and then handed the phone to the past, smiled, and said to Jian Ma and Zeng Jingrong, who were a little unknown:
"Take a look first! Mom, sister, after reading it, you will know if I am bragging. ”
