Chapter 268: This is Affection
Let's go!
Because I don't know how long it will take to go this time, Li Dong returned to the company, arranged the work simply, and went to Qingzhou to meet Chen Ping at noon.
An hour later, the two walked out of the Zhiyang Railway Station, first took a taxi to Chen Ping's house, Chen Ping went home to get the car keys, and then drove her golf and drove Li Dong around the streets and alleys of the city, looking for a suitable branch location.
With the experience of Qingzhou store, the purpose of the two is very clear, the bustling business district, the tall financial street, are the goals of the two, of course, it would be better if there were residential areas around.
In fact, the general gyms are built in residential areas, from the operator's side, there are many people, there are a fixed source of customers, the homeowner is not high, and from the fitness side to consider, close to home, easy to access, suitable for long-term exercise.
The reason why Li Dong gave up the residential area, but chose the store location in the financial street of the commercial district, is mainly to facilitate the sale of diet pills, there are many white-collar workers here, the competition is fierce, and a good image is conducive to work, diet pills are exactly what these people need, and what Li Dong needs is not to come to fitness, what he needs is to buy diet pills, compared to fitness members, diet pills are the focus.
Just like in the Qingzhou store, the fitness center only has an annual card of 2,000, and a bottle of diet pills can be sold for 5,000, and the fitness center also needs extra fees, but the diet pills are sold when they are sold, and there is no need for any follow-up costs, so locking in the purchase group is what Li Dong values most when choosing the fitness center.
The two drove around the major business districts of the provincial capital, and in an afternoon, they only visited two places, not because the speed of the two was slow, but because the provincial capital was too big, plus they needed to go deep into the shopping malls and office buildings to carefully check the location, and they also had to practice the landlord to inquire about the rent, so the two places are already a lot, you must know that Qingzhou is such a small city, Chen Ping also went around for a few days before reading it.
In the evening, Chen Ping went home, Li Dong came to the Four Seasons Garden Hotel, and as soon as he entered the door, he was immediately warmly welcomed by the lobby manager.
"Mr. Li, long time no see, welcome. ”
"Book me a room, I'll probably stay in the provincial capital for a few days. Li Dong said.
"Mr. Li, it is our honor for you to come to our hotel, not to mention that our boss has long explained that the best guest rooms will always be reserved for you, and you can stay at any time, and it is best to treat this place as your home. The lobby manager said with a smile on his face, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the front desk to get your room card." After saying that, he walked quickly to the front desk.
Li Dong looked around the hotel, he hadn't been here for a few months, and it had changed a lot.
"Mr. Li, please come with me!" the lobby manager led the way for Li Dong after he returned.
"Manager Zhang, you guys here don't seem to be the same as before. Li Dong said as he looked at it.
"Mr. Li has a good eye, yes, our boss renovated the hotel last month, and it has just been reopened this month. ”
"No wonder it's so luxurious and magnificent. Li Dong said, it seems that Boss Cheng has earned it, otherwise he would not have invested all the money in the southern university town at the same time, but also renovated the hotel, you must know that this is a four-star hotel, and it is definitely a big expense to renovate it once.
The lobby manager led Li Dong to the guest room, which was still the same room that Li Dong had lived in before.
"Mr. Li, if you need anything, just inform the front desk, and I won't disturb your rest. ”
"Yes, thank you!"
The lobby manager left, Li Dong came to the bedroom inside, and lay on the bed with a pop, this day tired him, he didn't sleep all night last night, and he made up for two hours of sleep in the morning, went to Xiaodong Village in the morning, and visited the provincial capital in the afternoon, he just wanted to sleep well now, but he knew very well that now was not the time to sleep, because ......
"Dangdang!"
Li Dong looked outside, and the reason came.
"Pharmacist Li, it's me, Cheng Guang, open the door. Boss Cheng's voice sounded outside the door.
Li Dong had already noticed that the lobby manager made a phone call while going to the front desk to get the key card, and he must have reported to the boss without asking.
Li Dong got out of bed, came to the door, opened the door, and Boss Cheng immediately walked in, opened his arms, and gave Li Dong a warm hug.
"Pharmacist Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought you forgot about me. Cheng Guang's two big hands patted Li Dong's back fiercely, almost slapping Li Dong to vomit blood.
"No, didn't I come?" Li Dong said after hearing it, with the first delivery, the next few times, the big truck driver was in charge, Li Dong did not follow the car, so the two really haven't seen each other for a long time.
Cheng Guang let go of Li Dong and asked enthusiastically, "Pharmacist Li, have you had dinner?" I didn't eat either, let's go, let's eat together, I have recently invited a Sichuan chef here, and I promise to let you enjoy it." ”
Li Dong really hadn't eaten a serious meal this day, and when the other party said this, his stomach immediately howled.
"Guests are as they please!"
"Gotcha!"
So he followed Boss Cheng to a private room downstairs, Cheng Guang opened his mouth and ordered a few signature dishes, probably knowing that the boss ordered, and it didn't take long for all six dishes to be served, and a bottle of Wuliangye was placed next to it.
"Pharmacist Li, come, how about you taste it?" Cheng Guang pointed to the food on the table.
Li Dong sandwiched a piece of husband and wife lungs, although he has never been to Sichuan Province and has never eaten authentic husband and wife lung pieces, but the meat is tender and fresh, spicy and fragrant, and in the husband and wife lung pieces he has eaten, it belongs to the upper class, which is really good.
Seeing the satisfied expression on Li Dong's face, Cheng Guang also smiled, and asked while eating, "Pharmacist Li, I don't know what happened to you in the provincial capital this time?" Are you passing by, or are you looking for some precious medicinal materials, don't be polite to me if you encounter any difficulties, just say, I, Cheng Guang, go to the knife mountain and go down the oil pot, blink an eye, count me as a bear bag." ”
"Haha, Boss Cheng is still so bold. Li Dong said with a smile, and then gradually put away the smile on his face, "Boss Cheng, I really have something to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?"
"That's right, I opened a fitness center in Qingzhou, and after operating it for a while, I think it's very good, so I plan to open branches in other cities in our province. Li Dong said.
"Okay. Cheng Guang patted the table and said happily, "Pharmacist Li has done business in the provincial capital, and he will definitely not come less in the future, don't worry, when your fitness center opens, I will definitely call a friend to cheer you on." ”
"Thank you, Boss Cheng, however, this fitness center may affect your business here. Li Dong said as he observed the other party.
"How is it possible for the fitness center to affect me here?" Cheng Guang said puzzledly, "There is a fitness center in my hotel, the area is not large, and it is provided to guests for free, so it should be me here to affect your business." ”
Li Dong shook his head at the other party, then looked at Boss Cheng seriously and said, "Boss Cheng, to tell you the truth, the main purpose of my fitness center is to sell diet pills." ”
"Diet pills?" Cheng Guang was stunned when he heard it, and then he understood what was going on.
Diet pills have been sold in his hotel for a few months, although how much to sell has nothing to do with him, and there is no commission from him, but it has brought a lot of guests to the hotel, these guests are all money, this is why the hotel is so popular now, why he will be renovated from the new reason, if there is no diet pills, then the hotel will immediately return to the previous state, although it is no problem to make money to eat and drink, but who will be afraid of more money in these years?
What's more, the investment in the southern university town is not necessarily when it will be recovered, and the hundreds of millions of loans in the bank, if the hotel's income declines rapidly, the interest alone can overwhelm him.
Boss Cheng, who was so happy and had a great appetite just now, now looked dumbfounded, although he was holding chopsticks in his hand, he didn't move, and finally simply put it on the table, opened the Wuliangye on the side and took a sip, probably to suppress the shock.
"Boss Cheng......" Li Dong shouted.
"It's okay!" Cheng Guang raised his head and looked at Li Dong and said, "Pharmacist Li, we are all businessmen, so I understand you, don't worry, even if I don't have diet pills here, I will give you publicity." Although he had a smile on his face, it looked very reluctant.
Li Dong can fully understand that diet pills are now the signboard of the other party's hotel, and if there is no signboard, the hotel's business will definitely be greatly affected.
However, the other party seems to have misunderstood what he meant.
"Boss Cheng, don't worry, I haven't finished yet. Li Dong continued, "I mean, my fitness center will sell diet pills, but you still have diet pills here, I will still provide them as before." ”
"What, really?" Cheng Guang, who was still a little depressed just now, immediately cheered up again, looked at Li Dong in surprise and asked.
"Of course it's true. Li Dong said with a smile, Boss Cheng has already opened the market in the provincial capital for him, and does not charge him a penny of rent, what reason does he have not to provide weight loss pills for the other party?
You must know that the sales volume of weight loss pills here by Boss Cheng can reach tens of millions every month, and it is still growing. What's more, the provincial city is so big, and it is not impossible to have two sales points.
"Pharmacist Li, you are interesting enough, enough friends, I toast you!" Cheng Guang personally poured a glass of wine for Li Dong, and then raised his own wine glass.
He knows the miraculous effect of diet pills, and he also knows the value of diet pills, such a miracle drug, there is no need to worry about customers and sales, Pharmacist Li still keeps him here when he wants to open a store to sell diet pills, can he say that there is no emotional ingredient here? Even if the other party does not provide diet pills for his hotel, he can't say anything.
Affection, this is affection!
Li Dong slowly raised his wine glass, looked at Cheng Guang, who was moved by his eyes and said a little red, "Boss Cheng, in the future, in the provincial capital, there will be an additional sales point of diet pills, which may affect your business here, so please ...... it."
"Pharmacist Li, it's too polite for you to say this, if you can continue to provide me with weight loss pills here, it should be that I thank you. Cheng Guang took the wine glass and touched the wine glass in Li Dong's hand, "Pharmacist Li, you are righteous enough, I did it, you are free." After speaking, he raised his head with the cup and drank it all.
