Chapter 87: Pekingese
After reading this text message, I was not as surprised as I had just become a card dealer, but used to it. From being skeptical of the power of the Buddha cards at first, to now being strange, I seem to have gradually changed from being an atheist to believing in ghosts and gods. That day, Luo Li called me and said that Manager Feng had come to Shenyang and came to visit her in the commercial city, and then asked her to call me and ask the three of us to come out for dinner.
We came to a roast duck restaurant near Middle Street, called Yuanwei Zhai, which is the most famous in Shenyang, although it is not as good as Quanjude, but it is still a chain store in Shenyang, and the taste is also good. Manager Feng obviously regarded me as a good friend, and kept toasting me during the banquet, saying that he had been sitting in the position of deputy manager for almost four years, but he didn't expect to be promoted now, and it must be the blessing of Shuangdao Kunping. Of course, I said yes, and I wish him to continue to rise and become the manager of the Guangdong headquarters as soon as possible.
Luo Li asked: "Mr. Feng, you are a native of Beijing, is Beijing much better than Shenyang?"
"I must be old Beijing, with three generations of my family. Manager Feng said with a smile, "It is definitely more developed than Shenyang in all aspects, with a large area and a population several times more than Shenyang, so the traffic jam is also very serious." In the past few days, I have deliberately done two things in Beijing, one is to understand Beijing's attitude towards Buddha cards, and the other is to investigate the situation of Beijing Buddha card stores. I found that new things in Beijing are also faster than in Shenyang, such as the Buddha card, which is actually worn by many people in Beijing, basically doing business, celebrities and celebrities. ”
I said: "There must be more rich people in Beijing than in Shenyang, and there are also more celebrities, I really envy it." What are you doing investigating the Buddhist brand shop?," Manager Zheng smiled and said of course not, he was investigating business opportunities.
Manager Feng said: "There are about four or five people around me who wear Buddha cards and raise Guman, which is not too much, but my circle is not that big after all, and not everyone is honest with me." I heard that some people don't tell outsiders about Guman, only they know, and they don't even tell their parents. The boss and vice president of the Guangdong headquarters have Buddha cards, but the vice president wears them every day, and the boss only worships them at home, which is what I heard the boss's secretary say. I also have the boss of the Shanghai branch, and I also have two friends who wear Buddha cards. ”
I didn't expect him to investigate so carefully, Manager Feng continued: "In the investigation, I also found that there are not many Buddhist brand shops in Beijing, and I know about less than ten, mainly concentrated in Sanlitun, Shangdi, Zhongguancun and Xidan Wangfujing and other business districts. Manager Zheng asked, "Do you know why they are concentrated in these areas?"
I was thinking about it, and Luo Li hurriedly replied: "There must be a lot of rich people in these places!"
Manager Feng smiled and said, "You're only half right. The above four areas basically contain the four desires that represent Beijing. "I hurriedly asked which four, Manager Feng told us, Sanlitun has a famous bar street and diplomatic apartment, there are also a lot of high-end brand stores, many people are used to looking for foreigners here, hoping to have an affair or transnational opportunities, on behalf of the desire for wine; Zhongguancun is an electronic city, and there are universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, which represent the desire for career; and Xidan Wangfujing, needless to say, the largest shopping mall in Beijing is here, representing the desire for wealth. All the desires of a person in this life can basically be included.
"Oh, I see," I thought for a moment, "the amulet is actually to satisfy people's desires, so it makes perfect sense to open the store in these four areas." ”
Manager Feng said: "So I'm thinking about this and want to open a Buddhist shop." Luo Li and I were stunned by these words, and I quickly asked why I had this thought. Manager Feng said that he was not impulsive, firstly, he had observed these Buddha card shops, and found that although there was not much business, the goods in the store were not cheap, and the Buddha brand Guman could not move three or four thousand, and there were any passing by, ghosts and rituals and the like, and the price was all in the tens of thousands. Many of the people who enter and leave the Buddhist brand store are driving luxury cars, and there are also young people walking, indicating that the customer group is complex and covers a wide range. In addition, Beijing has a large population base, is the political, economic and cultural center of the country, and is also a huge vanity fair, which has the particularity of being the best place. There are millions of people from all over the country who go to Beijing in Beipiao, which is equivalent to the population of the whole city of Shenyang. These are all natural business opportunities, and they are also completely incomparable to second-tier cities like Shenyang.
I said, "It makes sense, there are different hot products in different regions, and if you open a barbecue restaurant in Shenyang, it may be even more popular than in Beijing." But if it's something like a Buddha card, it's definitely much better in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou than in Shenyang. ”
"Boss Tian is an understanding person!" Manager Feng snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "So I have the idea of opening a Buddhist brand store in Beijing." I am an old Beijinger, and my father's unit was divided into houses in Baijiazhuang Xili, the location is very good, and it is the first floor facing the street, but after all, it is the old community of the last century, so I bought a new house on Qingnian Road, and the old building was rented out as a store a few years ago, and now it is a cake shop in operation. The rent will expire next month, and the lease will be automatically renewed in the past, but now I don't want to rent, so I just take back the house and do it myself, and open a Buddhist brand shop!
It was a surprise to me, and it was a bit exciting. Then Manager Feng made a bid, and the store manager's salary was 5,000 per month, plus a sales bonus. Just half a year ago, my monthly salary was only 1,200 yuan, and the most important thing is that Mr. Feng said that I can do whatever it takes to go back to Shenyang or Thailand to do business, and isn't this equivalent to staying in Beijing for 10 days and half a month every month, and I can get 5,000 yuan?
Before I could say anything, Luo Li hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Feng, don't recruit clerks, isn't this ready-made? My cousin works as a business manager in a company in Beijing, and he can still help run errands to deliver goods to customers in his spare time!" If Boss Tian hadn't gotten married, you would still be able to make do with it.
Luo Li's face suddenly turned red: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't want to find a boyfriend now." ”
"Okay, Mr. Feng also seems to be a serious person, then I agree. I replied after thinking about it. Mr. Feng was very happy, poured three beers, and we clinked glasses with each other, and the matter was settled.
