Chapter 10: Business Difficulties
"It's a simple little love song
Singing the twists and turns of people's hearts
I think I'm happy
When there is your warmth
The air at your feet turned ......"
In order to match the artistic conception of the sound of the water cup, Huang Guolun's singing voice is not loud.
After strengthening his hearing, his whole sense of musicality and his ability to interpret music have been sublimated.
No matter how hard he sings like before, his singing can only move himself, not others.
Now, he doesn't have to sing hard at all, and he doesn't need to show off any skills or deliberately contrived ingredients, just sing naturally and casually, and he already has an aura of great ingenuity.
His voice is not as yin and yang as Wu Qingfeng, but with the vicissitudes of a mature man's texture, without carving, he already has a kind of natural charm that has been eroded by the wind like a Buddha statue.
Listening to him sing, every pore is like breathing music, and every note has a strange magnetism, which involuntarily absorbs people's emotions completely.
This kind of suffocating listening experience like a magnet is something that Zhao Yan and the others rarely encounter.
Wang Peng, who has listened to countless songs, exploded with goosebumps on Huang Guolun's body when he opened his mouth.
I praised it in my heart: Awesome! This uncle has a great style of folk songs!
Who the hell is he?
Wang Peng wants to know more and more about the identity of this uncle who can sing people to the sky with a cup and a voice.
He vaguely felt that this should be a big name in the circle.
To meet such a big name at SalomeCAFE, he and Jiang Lili have earned it tonight!
I didn't look at the expressions of Zhao Yan and the others, but Huang Guolun could feel that after he opened his voice, there were many amazing eyes on his body.
To be honest, after the transformation, he himself was very impressed by his current aura that could simply make people drunk.
During this time, every time he recorded in the recording studio, he was able to record himself drunk.
He couldn't figure out why.
His voice is still the same as before, but the feeling of singing has undergone a magical qualitative change, and it is an inadvertent qualitative change, not a change that he deliberately pursues. He still sings as before, but the texture of his singing has changed drastically.
It seems that after having god-level hearing, all the processing of sounds on his body has been improved to the level of matching god-level hearing.
Such an improvement is definitely an unexpected surprise for him.
I don't know if Chen Jia in the sky can hear his intoxicating singing voice now, if he can, it would be great.
If he can't, he will also dedicate this "Little Love Song" to her-
"It's a simple little love song
The white dove that sings to our hearts
I think I'm a good fit
Be a hymer
Youth is floating in the wind
You know, even if the heavy rain turns the city upside down
I'll give you a hug
I can't stand to see your back coming
Write down my seclusion like a year
Even if the whole world is tied up by loneliness
I won't run either
can't escape, and in the end, everyone is old
Write down the castle where my time and piano sound intertwined
……”
Accompanied by the sound of a clear and fine water cup, Huang Guolun's affectionate singing subverted the entire café.
The two sisters, Zhao Yan and Zhao Jing, were stupid when they heard it.
I don't know if it's too close, or Huang Guolun's singing voice is too charming, in short, they feel that they have never heard such a fascinating singing on the spot!
When Huang Guolun closed his eyes, they also closed their eyes, and their thoughts and emotions were melted by Huang Guolun's singing, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into a heavy rain of youth.
Zhao Yan, who is pure and conservative in heart, only has one kind of sigh in his heart when he hears such a song, that is, Mr. Huang is so powerful! It is really a super lucky thing to meet such a friend tonight!
Zhao Jing sighed that if one of her many ex-boyfriends could be as talented as Huang Guolun, she would be willing to dedicate everything to him, rather than breaking up after a month or two of dating. Of course, his charm is limited to music.
After Huang Guolun sang the song, Jiang Lili wanted to find Huang Guolun to sign an autograph! This may be the live version of "Little Love Song" that she has heard the most to her heart, which is not far behind Qingfeng's version!
At the end of the water cup sound, Jiang Lili praised and said: "Uncle, are you a singer?
Zhao Jing hurriedly replied for Huang Guolun: "He is the resident singer of our SalomeCAFE, if you want to listen to him sing in the future, you will come to the restaurant more often." ”
"What are you doing, don't mess around. Zhao Yan kicked Zhao Jing from under the table in disgust.
was kicking Zhao Jingwei's ankle, and Zhao Jing couldn't care about the image, bent down to rub his feet with his teeth bared, and the only little image of a jade girl was gone.
Zhao Jing made an apologetic expression towards Huang Guolun and told the two students: "This Teacher Huang is not a resident singer, he is my friend." ”
Huang Guolun added: "I'm not a singer either, I'm just a high school music teacher. ”
"You're just a high school music teacher, can't you!" Wang Peng praised in an unbelievable tone: "I think you have more flavor than most of the resident singers in Houhai!"
"Uh-huh!"
Jiang Lili nodded in praise busily.
"Thank you for the compliment. ”
was praised by a stranger like this, even if the old monk sat down, Huang Guolun's heart was also filled with a hint of smugness.
Jiang Lili proposed to Zhao Yan: "Sister Yan, you should quickly ask your teacher friend to be the resident singer of the café, he wants to sing here in you, and with the magic skill of playing the piano in this water cup, I will ensure that a huge number of people will come to listen!"
Zhao Jing gave Jiang Lili a thumbs up: "The beauty sees the same thing! ”
"Alright, don't mess around. ”
Zhao Yan is thin-skinned, but unlike Zhao Jing, who made such an excessive request to Huang Guolun on the first day of acquaintance.
However, in his heart, Zhao Yan has long been subverted and surrendered by Huang Guolun's musical skills.
Huang Guolun's musical skills made her unprecedentedly vague urge to invite Huang Guolun to the venue.
In fact, since opening this quiet café, Zhao Yan has never thought of asking a resident singer to do business.
She didn't want to make her tavern as agitated as the other messy bars in Houhai.
Her original intention was to open a café where people could read quietly and communicate quietly.
The music in her store is a very charming background sound like Wang Ruolin, which is suitable for drinking coffee, and she never plays noisy music.
Although her original intention is good, it is difficult to go to the blue sky when she is quiet here in Houhai.
Her small restaurant has been open for more than half a year, and all kinds of publicity methods have been used, but there has been no improvement in business.
She will open an activity gathering post in the Douban group almost every month, organize netizens to play werewolf killing in her store, or pull a projection to open a viewing party for high-scoring art films, and also signed cooperation agreements with major group buying websites to open group buying packages at reduced prices.
But these measures did not give her restaurant a good reputation or bring a stable source of customers.
In the past six months of operation, Zhao Yan has invested more than 600,000 yuan in this small restaurant, but he has never seen a splash. Until now, she is still losing money every month, and not a single month of the small restaurant is profitable, which makes Zhao Yan feel miserable in his heart.
As Zhao Jing said, Zhao Yan is not suitable for business at all, and her life history has no connection with business.
She studied at a university in China and then went to the UK for a two-year Master of Arts degree.
Because of her family's good background, she didn't need to graduate to work, and then she traveled around the world leisurely for two years.
It wasn't until her family felt that she was really not doing her job properly that she was ordered to return to China to work.
But Zhao Yan was too literate, she couldn't do the group work that her father asked a friend to arrange for her, so she resigned after less than half a year.
Later, she discussed with her father and asked her father to invest in her to open a café, and she wanted to start her own business and become the boss.
With the help of his mother, Zhao's father finally agreed to Zhao Yan's business plan.
A year ago, Zhao's father and Zhao Yan reached an agreement, he would invest 1 million yuan to Zhao Yan to open a café, Zhao's father would account for 50% of the shares, and he would share half of the money he made in the future. And if he loses money, as a father, he bears it all alone, and the condition is that after losing all of it, Zhao Yan must return to work in the group according to his arrangement.
After reaching an agreement with his father, Zhao Yan happily opened this SalomeCAFE in Houhai.
She never thought of relying on this café to get rich, she just wanted this small restaurant to be self-financed and keep open, so that she could nest in the small restaurant every day to read books and listen to music, and when she was bored, she went to Shichahai to skate and collect style, such a leisurely life is what she wants.
At the same time, she also hopes to meet her other half in this romantic restaurant created by her, if this is the case, her life will be too dreamy!
With these many hopes, Zhao Yan drove full horsepower and ran this small restaurant himself.
The reality is brutal.
The location of her small restaurant is too remote, and the small restaurant does not have a particularly outstanding selling point, it is a fairly tasteful quiet bar, but in the capital, there are more tasteful quiet bars than this small restaurant, just near the drum tower, there are several very famous quiet bars for people to drink coffee and read.
Compared with those cafes with a reputation and a regular customer base, SalomeCAFE, which is new to the market, has no outstanding competitiveness in the market, and it is difficult to stand out.
According to the current trend of losing thousands of yuan every month, this small restaurant will be open for another half a year, and when the annual lease contract expires in the first year, it will basically be unsustainable.
With the remaining money in Zhao Yan's hand, he will not be able to pay the rent of 300,000 yuan next year.
Zhao Jing said before that this small restaurant had only been open for half a year, and it was because Zhao Yan had told her about the current business situation of the small restaurant before, and Zhao Jing was very anxious for Zhao Yan, so she would be cheeky and help Zhao Yan pull business in all kinds of tricks.
Zhao Yan herself is actually quite anxious, but she, like Huang Guolun, is a chronic person, even if she is anxious, she will not show any obvious results.
But she really wanted to run the first café in her life.
After seeing Huang Guolun's water cup singing double magic skills today, Zhao Yan's heart was like hitting a bell, and he was shocked by a celestial man!
Looking at Jiang Lili and Wang Peng who were impressed by Huang Guolun's musical skills just now, Zhao Yan can imagine that if Mr. Huang really became the resident singer in their store, it would not take long for a few months, and their small restaurant, which has not been distinctive enough, would definitely gather a good reputation, and it might even form a stable passenger flow.
This is much more exciting than the various activities that she has worked hard to organize.
Huang Guolun's talent is very similar to a quiet folk singer, which is particularly consistent with the aura of her small restaurant.
If Huang Guolun can come to her restaurant to sing, it will really help her, and it is very likely to solve the business crisis of the restaurant in one fell swoop.
However, this is only the first day I met Huang Guolun, and Zhao Yan is embarrassed to come up and make such an excessive request.
She thought that in the future, she would invite Huang Guolun to sit in the restaurant, and then make this request to Huang Guolun when she got acquainted.
Zhao Jing is not as reserved and reserved as Zhao Yan, and she can't easily let go of Huang Guolun, a strange person who may help SalomeCAFE turn losses into profits.
Regardless of Zhao Yan's repeated obstructions, in the subsequent chat, Zhao Jing invited Huang Guolun to come to the café as a resident singer, and also briefly told Huang Guolun about some of the current difficulties of the restaurant, she hoped that Huang Guolun could lend a hand and help her sister.
"Teacher Huang, when we first met, you could tell you, if my sister has any difficulties, I will tell you, and you will do your best to help my sister. Now is your chance to fulfill your promise, if you can come to my sister's restaurant to knock on the cup, even if it is a great favor for my sister!"
Zhao Yan secretly felt ashamed, and kicked Zhao Jing several times under the table, thinking why didn't this girl keep her mouth shut? But in his heart, Zhao Yan really wanted to see what Huang Guolun's attitude was.
Huang Guolun turned the platinum ring on the ring finger of his left hand, which is rarely taken off, and said with a slightly wry smile: "Knocking on a cup in a small restaurant feels too childish." Knocking on a cup can't support the performance of the resident singer at all, it's just an after-dinner entertainment. Compared to a guitar or piano, the mug is far from the charm of the tone. This thing can only be taken as a curiosity, and you can't play it all the time, otherwise it's easy for people to get tired of listening to it. ”
Zhao Jing likes to knock on the cup very much, and argues: "I don't think so, I think the sound of knocking on the cup is super good, like a music box, more beautiful than a guitar or something." ”
Huang Guolun reasoned: "It's just that you think that if most people think that knocking on a cup is better than playing the guitar, then the cup has long replaced the guitar as a popular instrument." ”
"What Mr. Huang said is reasonable. Zhao Yan shallow out two small dimples that can laugh and agree with Huang Guolun's point of view.
"Anyway, no matter what you do, if you can be the resident singer of my sister's small restaurant, it will definitely attract diners. I rarely praise men for singing well, but I have to say, you are the best non-professional singer I've ever heard, there is no one!"
