Chapter 395: KFC (Book Friend's Birthday Gift)
On October 10, 1987, two major events occurred in the capital on this day, one had nothing to do with Hong Tao and the other had something to do with him.
Let's talk about this thing that has nothing to do with him first, China's first KFC opened in Beijing. It also marked the beginning of China's entry into the era of fast food, and in the decades since then, foreign fast food has spread to every city in our gastronomic powerhouse, and it is expensive, now KFC, then McDonald's, then Pizza Hut, Tex, Ajisen Ramen, Yoshinoya.
Especially in the past few years of entering China, it was originally fast food but it was regarded as a high-end restaurant, especially for Chinese children, the lethality is infinite, starting from the post-80s generation, whose childhood is probably inseparable from these fast food restaurants. Hong Tao's student days in his previous life were no exception, and when he invited girls out to watch movies and eat, most of them chose one of these brands, and they also contributed a share of their turnover.
And in this life, he still has to go, although he doesn't want to eat, but the girls like it, you can't tell them what nutritional matching problems there are, there is no junk food concept now, if anyone says that eating more meat will get sick, parents have to give him a big mouth first, and then scold him for just a few days full of food and start talking nonsense, if you have the ability, don't even eat white rice and white noodles, go back and continue to eat wowotou!
Look, the problem of concept is more troublesome than making money and becoming famous, even if Hong Tao can be reborn infinitely, he can't change the concept brought by the times, let alone change everyone, he can't even change the staff in his store, even the Han Xue sisters he can't do anything. These girls, whose salaries are higher than those of their peers, ran over as soon as possible, and then rubbed them violently, and every time Hong Tao said that the chicken wings were too high in calories, he would have one less food in the tray. In the end, he stopped talking nonsense, let's eat, it's not good to smoke. I don't just follow the smoke and compare my heart to my heart. I am not qualified to persuade others.
Just when he was eating hamburgers and nibbling on fried chicken legs, Hong Tao also pondered a question, that is, whether he could also take a ride on the fast food industry and pull a little more back from his money bag, and finally came to the conclusion: I must make money, but I am too worried to make money!
If you want to create your own brand and make your own Chinese fast food, unless you are going to sell boxed lunches. Otherwise, it is difficult to compete with foreign fast food like KFC. What is the fast food industry playing? It's not a chef or a secret recipe, it's a standardized management and a large-scale distribution system. There is no place for these two kinds of things to go, the former is a kind of knowledge, not just think about it and come up with it, unless you have been deeply exposed to this kind of industry in your previous life, but unfortunately Hong Tao does not have it; There is not even a chance to compete.
In fact, even if you have standardized management and large-scale distribution system, you still can't compete with foreign fast food, because you still have the same thing. That's the policy. Since Lang Lang Ah was enough, we have a very, very hospitable habit, often the things that foreign adults can do, but the Chinese people can't do it, and where the foreign adults can enter, the Chinese people can't enter. The same is true of the chain fast food industry, foreign fast food enjoys various preferential policies, and even the local government comes forward to help them find a suitable store, while Chinese people want to start a chain fast food industry by themselves. I'm sorry to do it. Without this policy, you can't compete with foreign adults. That's too unfriendly, you have to let the foreign adults eat and drink enough, reward you with a few bites of food, and then you have to be grateful.
Even so, Hong Tao can catch the fast food industry, and then follow the foreign adults to make money, because at the beginning, Yum Group did not realize how lucrative the big 6 in China is, so it is also actively looking for joint venture partners, planning to jointly develop a chain of stores in China. Hong Tao has a way to contact Yum, and then set up a few chain stores by himself, while helping the foreign adults to work in front of and behind the car, while taking the opportunity to drink some soup himself.
However, Hong Tao didn't do it in the end, he is a relatively axial person, he is willing to play with you when he loses money when he is happy, and he is not happy to give you how much money Lao Tzu does not do, in fact, this kind of character is not uncommon among northerners, which is why in the issue of doing business, northerners can't do an important factor for southerners, personality problems! This kind of emotional character is not suitable in the business field.
Another thing related to him is that there will be a concert called "Wings" at the Metropolitan Stadium tonight, and this matter is not only related to him, but he also has to participate, to be precise, this is his job, and it must be completed, otherwise the fine will be greatly reduced! The contract he signed with Polygram Company is written in black and white, and he has to be the only guest singer to sing on stage for the first show in Beijing and the first show in Hong Kong!
In fact, a week ago, Tan Jing had already returned to Beijing, only rested for one day, and then began to enter the rehearsal stage. After more than a month, when he saw Tan Jing again, Hong Tao almost didn't recognize her.
Thin, pretty, mature, strange!
This is the general feeling that Hong Tao and she got after chatting in the office for more than an hour. And before the two of them chatted alone, there was a not-so-pleasant thing.
On the same day, Hong Tao personally drove to the airport, and waited for more than two hours to receive Tan Jing and his party, and she arrived in Beijing with not only Lin Di alone, but also a complete team, more than a dozen men and women, from makeup artists, stylists, life assistants, to agents, bodyguards, drivers, everything.
"I'm a god! Is this Miss Tan Jingjing? Come, let my brother weigh it, and see if she's lost weight!" When Hong Tao first saw Tan Jing, although he was a little surprised that she had become so beautiful, he quickly returned to his normalcy, opened his arms, and planned to play the original set again.
"Hello Mr. Hong, I'm Netdy, Miss Tan's agent, it's not convenient to talk here, let's talk in the car!" It's a pity that Hong Tao didn't hug Tan Jing, but almost hugged a cold-faced strong woman in her thirties, she stood directly in front of Hong Tao, blocked Tan Jing's way, and then shook Hong Tao with a cold face, and then pulled Tan Jing's arm and bypassed Hong Tao.
"Hong Tao...... She ......, "Tan Jing didn't pretend to be big, and she turned around vigorously and tried to explain to Hong Tao, but she was caught by the other two assistants and quickly walked away.
"Lao Lin, you don't seem to be too competent as a commissioner......" Hong Tao took a deep breath and didn't do it on the spot, after all, this is a public place, and it doesn't matter if he stiffens himself, it will have some impact on Tan Jing, but he doesn't have a good face for Lin Di who came out later.
"Hi...... It's hard to say, it's hard to say! You think I'm willing to be an ornament, but we still don't have experience, that contract is full of Nima text traps, I have specially asked the professional lawyer over there, these are all stipulated in the contract, and now I am still Tan Jing's agent in name, but her daily arrangements have nothing to do with me, only when it is linked to economic problems, I am useful, what do you say this Nima is called!" Lin Di is also aggrieved, it seems that he has been over there for more than a month, and he has not lived very comfortably.
"You mean that Tan Jing has already escaped from your control? She has to do whatever they asked her to do! Then why didn't you call me earlier!" Hong Tao was immediately anxious when he heard this.
"No, no, no, you listen to me, it's not as strict as you think, all the business activities she attends must be completed with my nod, and we have a clear letter in the contract for private parties, and they don't dare to violate this. It's just that they have their own way of working, each link is according to the procedure, very finely divided, not as casual as we originally imagined, and even laugh a few times after going out, and whoever laughs has to rehearse in advance, no wonder you don't want to do this thing, Tainyima suffered. Tan Jing has cried several times in the past month or so, and she is not used to it, but I also asked my friends over there, this is not abuse, ordinary artists don't have this treatment, you see, that's it. Lin Di pulled Hong Tao and walked out, and carefully explained the reason for the explanation to Hong Tao.
"Then you can communicate with their leaders in a while, since you have arrived in the capital, don't play this game with me, lest I not give them face...... Alas, why did they leave?" Hong Tao probably understood, people also act in accordance with the company's regulations, maybe stricter, but not specifically aimed at Tan Jing or himself, then understand Long live, Hong Tao plans to let Lin Di communicate with the other party.
But this anger had just calmed down, and as soon as he came out, he was angry again, the other party didn't wait for himself and Lin Di, and directly got into the car that their company came to pick up the airport and left, without even saying hello to himself, as if he was a porter, and even Lin Di, a genuine agent, didn't pay attention. This is still in the capital, if he arrives in Hong Kong, Lin Di doesn't need to say what kind of treatment he is, Hong Tao can also imagine it.
"They may have gone back to the hotel directly, they flew for several hours, everyone was tired, it's okay, it's okay, anyway, you have a car, I know the room, it's in the Kunlun Hotel, let's go with it." As soon as Lin Di saw Hong Tao's face, he knew that it was going to be bad, and he was busy with mud.
"Grandma, let's go, go back to me first, if you have the ability to let them go by themselves, I won't wait." "Hong Tao is not so flaggy, he has to chase to the hotel, and when he gets there, it is a public place, and he still suffers a loss. (To be continued)
