Chapter 163: I won't give up
After five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Qing and I stood at the door of the tavern, like two door gods, paying attention to the flow of people.
Lao Si and Xiao Chen are also guarding their posts, and we are all waiting for the first order after the opening, and we are all looking forward to tonight's business.
As time passed, customers began to come, but many of them were old customers.
The business was not as good as we expected, in fact, I also knew that the opening activities were just icing on the cake, and there was not much publicity in fact.
It was already dark, and Liu Qing and I also returned to the tavern, and we were all very discouraged when we looked at the customers.
Liu Qing sat with a sad face, she patted the table and said, "Are we not in the right direction? There is no atmosphere of opening at all...... I seriously suspect that we have a feng shui problem here!"
I was also quite anxious in my heart, but I still said to Liu Qing in a calmest tone as much as possible: "Don't be in a hurry to make a conclusion first, where is this?"
"But it's been so long that the people who come to the tavern can be counted on both hands, and all of them are familiar faces...... Our event today is so successful, there must be one or two new customers!" Liu Qing seemed anxious.
I didn't respond to Liu Qing's words, and after pressing my temple hard, I said to her again: "Don't worry, don't worry...... You go up and sing two songs, maybe it will attract some people. ”
"Where am I in the mood to sing right now?"
"You can't change the status quo even if you're so anxious! Let's be optimistic, you should find time to find a technician and promote the idea I told you this afternoon. ”
Liu Qing sighed heavily: "Okay, okay, I'm not in a hurry, I'm going to sing." ”
With that, Liu Qing walked towards the stage that had been enlarged by her, and she naturally sat on the barstool, hugged the guitar and tuned it.
When she sings, she becomes very serious, as if she is another person, who exudes an aura of confidence and beauty.
"Don't dare to look back, look left and right for unnatural secret liking, secretly talk to always sit still, tempting to say that good night is empty and bitter, bow your head and mutter, your preference for you is too blatant, and the clown who is spinning in place is sad and ......"
I listened quietly, reveling in the song and feeling a little overwhelmed.
It's a ballad, and I'm not a person who loves to listen to ballads, and sometimes I feel a little sick*, but I can't deny everyone who likes ballads.
After she finished singing this song, the audience sang another song with the customer's request, and Liu Qing also entered the state, and played and sang another song, which was still Chen Li's "Walking Horse".
Gradually, the number of customers in the tavern increased, but it was still not as good as expected, and only two of them applied for membership cards.
Liu Qing kept singing, and once she took a break, some guests asked why she didn't sing.
I really want to scold those guests, but I can't, this is the grievance of the service industry.
Liu Qing can only sing one song after another, or wait for the time to go to the bathroom to drink saliva to slow down her throat, her voice will be wasted sooner or later if she continues like this.
We stayed until 12 o'clock in the evening, and she didn't relax until the guests were gone, and the whole person was like a deflated ball, just sitting on the stage and drinking beer by herself.
I don't know how to comfort her, because she brought it on herself, and she has to go through it.
After cleaning the tavern, we calculated today's turnover, because the first day of opening was free of charge, most people did not order food, so our turnover was negative.
Liu Qing and I sat anxiously at the bar, and I laughed miserably and said to her, "How is it? Are you sure you want to continue working now?"
"There is no turning back from the bow, if I am defeated, am I still me?" he paused and said as if determined, "Don't worry, as long as I don't get tired, I won't give up! ”
"Very good, please keep your current attitude, anyone who can achieve great things, there is no easy early stage. ”
"You don't have to comfort me, think about yourself! If you don't get back the principal after half a year, you will pay the transfer fee yourself. ”
"I'm not going to be knocked down that easily!" I stood up, waved at her, and said, "Alright, it's not too early, I need to go back, goodbye to you tomorrow!"
The streets are deserted in the early hours of the morning, and the late autumn weather gives the city a bleak feel, and the wind around it becomes much colder.
Su Xia hadn't called me until now, which made me feel congested and empty, and I habitually needed a cigarette to expel the sudden negativity.
I lit a cigarette, the familiar smell made me comfortable, I wrapped my clothes tightly, so in the familiar smell of tobacco I saw more clearly the temptation hidden in the real world, and I was not tempted by it because I had nothing.
I really like this feeling, at least the lack of material things has turned me into a very controlling and non-profligate person on another level, I am poor out of character, poor out of style!
When I got home, Susha was already asleep, and I didn't disturb her.
……
In the next three days, I have been thinking about how to do a comprehensive promotion of the tavern, which must be done, but the funds are limited, so I can only think about the tavern itself.
In the past three days, the business of the tavern is still so painless, although there are people who apply for membership cards every day, but the customer flow has not been good, and I don't know what went wrong.
Liu Qing was also very anxious, she really found a technician, saying that she was a top student who graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China, and she could help us design a platform for making friends according to my ideas.
I don't know where she got it from, but the person she found was also very reliable, and she quickly got the dating platform done, and she didn't want a penny.
I was puzzled, so I asked why I didn't take the money, and the young man said that he was just helping, and he thought that our tavern could be bigger and stronger, and he didn't say anything else.
With this platform, many customers registered accounts on the platform that night, and some open people also uploaded their photos and information as soon as possible.
The interactive dating screen was finally broadcast on the big screen of the tavern, and the atmosphere was enlivened up all of a sudden.
The recharge on the platform reached more than 15,000 yuan that night, which was the largest amount of money we have made since we opened, which made Liu Qing very happy.
And because of this dating platform, I gradually began to get busy, and began to think about some of the later operational methods, which is a feeling that I have never felt before.
At the moment, I am eager to succeed, eager to be on an equal footing with Song Qingyi one day, and eager to become a business partner with her......
