Chapter 19: The Flowers Are Blooming

Chen Kun's wound has already begun to heal, and it has been more than ten days since he was discharged from the hospital.

His father's hot pot restaurant has been open for more than a week, and before the opening, Chen Kun thought of a series of publicity methods, which were nothing more than inviting a few cars to hang large paintings, tie some inexpensive flowers, and carry loudspeakers all over the city.

Inviting a group of students to carry billboards through the most prosperous neighborhoods, shouting slogans, is actually not a new trick in the future, but it is still very new now.

People also gradually know that there is a hot pot restaurant called Taste to open again, there are some marketing activities, what is 5% off on the first day of opening, 6% off on the second day, 7% off on the third day, and 8% off on the first month, in fact, it is a gimmick to attract some popularity.

On the day of the opening, under Chen Kun's suggestion, the scene was actually quite big, and the most taboo thing about doing catering was that it didn't make a hit, and it really wanted to make a name, and the operation was naturally smooth.

To Chen Kun's surprise, his father's popularity was really good, and he didn't feel it when he was a child, but Chen Kun saw it when he opened at this time.

Originally, Chen Kun also planned to set some flower baskets and banners to support the scene, but before Chen Kun opened his mouth and pulled up the red banners in the flower basket and pulled up, there was no place to place it, and there were three religions and nine streams from all walks of life, which made Chen Kun know what it means to be popular, although his father has not mixed well in recent years, there are actually a lot of friends, and it is also related to his father's earlier opening of the factory for being bold.

The big red firecrackers are layer after layer of the base together to put a huge figure-of-eight, eight homophonic hair, businessmen love this number, but the number of firecrackers is too much, can only be put on the base, this kind of red firecrackers also has a nice name called Mandi Hong, the firecrackers rang off for half an hour, not to mention the fireworks on both sides.

In fact, there is really no ornamental fireworks during the day, just listen to a sound, the picture is lively, there is a small gong and drum team next to it, the scene of beating gongs and drums is very lively, Chen Kun estimates that this year, the restaurant is estimated to be the first in the city.

The scene is atmospheric, the business is naturally very good, it can be seen from Chen Dakuan's red face, the crowd that rushed in directly crowded the glass door of the store, fortunately no one was hurt, but there was no way to repair the broken door for a whole day, there were too many people.

It's not that there are many people at the meal, and there is no shortage of people until the end of the whole day, and the queue starts early.

As soon as things are in line, things will be complicated, and there will be more people cutting in line or something, Chen Kun saw that there was a quarrel at the door, and there was a tendency to fight if it was not good, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, the doors were blocked, and it was not okay to make a mess.

Fortunately, Tang Yuan accompanied him in the morning, so he hurriedly called Tang Yuan to come over to help, what should I do?

Tang Yuan took a small notebook, and An Zhao, who came first and came in line, issued a number, and came out to shout a number, and everyone felt fair.

Chen Kun shouted to the waiter to bring out some chairs for everyone to sit in, it is definitely impossible to have seats for all, and it is still no problem to move a dozen chairs.

Then ask the waiter to get a teapot and bring a disposable paper cup, and the waiter named Amin simply didn't go back, just greeted these queuing guests at the door.

In fact, this month is really not the peak season of hot pot, but I can't stand the freshness, people like to catch a fresh, I haven't eaten or seen it, I love to come and see, and the hot pot restaurant on the commercial street has a feeling of being surrounded by water for a while.

In the evening, although Chen Dakuan and Li Qin were exhausted, they were still smiling when they saw the numbers come out, more than 9,600 on the first day of business, which is really a lot, you must know that the consumption of this year is really not high, although the wine is not discounted, the vegetable money is discounted, and the turnover is normally 167.

What kind of concept is this? At this time, a two-bedroom house in Yuzhang is about 60,000 yuan, so you may have an intuitive impression if you explain it in this way.

After all, it is a discount, and it is a new store opening, and it is completely understandable that there are more people, and there will definitely be a period of decline after the fresh period, of course, according to this figure, even if the worst plan is to cut half of the turnover, it will definitely be profitable.

It's just that you really have to calculate, and you can only know how profitable it can be when the store stabilizes.

The two of them can't rest yet, and they have to call overnight to transfer the goods, and the preparation is not sufficient, basically it can be said that all the ingredients in the store are sold out, and they have to open tomorrow, and they are really busy stocking up on time at this time.

There is a saying that the off-season is not light, this is the highest demand of many businesses in later generations, and it is easy to achieve it here in Chen Dakuan, so the nineties is the best era to do business, as long as you are willing to do it, and the project is still relatively novel, then it is easy for you to do it.

On the fifth day, a total turnover came out, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was Chen Kun's idea to open a hot pot, Tang Yuan secretly gave Chen Kun a terrific gesture, nine thousand six hundred on the first day, one thousand four hundred on the second day, thirteen thousand four hundred on the third day, one thousand five thousand six hundred on the fourth day, fourteen thousand nine hundred on the fifth day, and almost sixty-five thousand in five days, not to mention Chen Dakuan, Chen Kun was a little frightened.

This is the era of 10,000 households just past, according to this number can basically return to the cost in a month, there is no concept of how much money is estimated, if it is said that it can produce a small two-bedroom profit in almost a month, everyone is estimated to understand how scary it is.

Of course, Chen Kun knew that after the first month, the business would definitely drop somewhat, and he also gave an explanation to his parents, Chen Dakuan and Li Qin didn't take it seriously, and the business didn't fall back Some of the two of them were really scared to death, Tang Yuan thought it was true.

Since the opening of the hot pot restaurant, Chen Kun asked Tang Yuan from the game hall to help, the environment of the game hall is too bad, although the hot pot restaurant is not much different from the game hall, but the smell of hot pot is better than the smell of smoke in the head.

Chen Kun also has his own plans, if Tang Yuan's friends come, Chen Kun has the idea of opening two more stores.

One is to settle Tang Yuan's partner, at least there is a place to live, and the other is that there is no unique business in this world, and the business of the taste shop is so good, there will be a second or third hot pot restaurant soon.

For Chen Kun to compete in the soil for others, it is better to occupy the territory first, form a brand benefit, and occupy the valuable positions on the street first, and then let everyone want to eat hot pot in the future The first thing that comes to mind is the taste, thinking about this Chen Kun himself feels beautiful.

Talking about this to Tang Yuan, Tang Yuan could only applaud Chen Kun's head melon seed, and in Tang Yuan's words, he said: "I don't know how Chen Kun's head melon seed grows." ”

Needless to say, studying at a hot pot restaurant is even more attentive.

The only thing that makes Chen Kun feel that there is probably some trouble is Chen Kun's parents, Li Qin and Chen Dakuan feel that the hot pot restaurant should be opened by themselves if the business is good, that is resolutely against pulling outsiders to buy shares, Chen Dakuan also knows that the independent business will not last long, so he does not object to Tang Yuan opening a hot pot restaurant, but he doesn't want to give his own brand to outsiders, in Li Qin's words: "My own shop is to be left to Chen Kun, according to this money-making speed Chen Kun will not be admitted to college in the future, and he can live well when he comes back to take care of the store." ”

Chen Kun touched his nose and didn't say anything, he couldn't say that prices would rise tenfold in a few years? Not to mention that a house with a few hundred yuan or less than 1,000 yuan would rise to 10,000 square meters in the future?

The parents' tough attitude meant that they wanted to leave the hot pot restaurant to Chen Kun as his wife, and Chen Kun could only persuade his parents to buy more houses as investments after making money, and the chain store matter would be temporarily put on hold on his parents' side.

Chen Kun is definitely going to go to college, Chen Kun really wants to live a comfortable life is actually quite simple, not to mention going to a big city, in the small city of Yuzhang, as long as he buys a house with all the money he earns during this time period, he can buy eight or nine sets of ten sets a year, and when Chen Kun graduates from university, he can say that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

It's just that Chen Kun asked himself if he was willing? It must be unwilling, since God let Chen Kun come back, then Chen Kun must have the idea of trying to compete with the cattle of this era, buying a house can become a rich man, but he can't be called an oligarch or a huge rich.

As for whether he would fail or not, Chen Kun didn't think about it, even if he failed? In the previous life, Chen Kun didn't even have the qualifications to try.

With his thirty years of experience beyond this era, even if he fails in the end, it is actually very simple to ensure that the people around him have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

Learning may be more important to Chen Kun at the moment, the taste hot pot restaurant has opened, the high school entrance examination has ended, and Chen Kun has no intention of wasting time when other children are playing crazy because they don't have summer homework.

In this year, large and small training classes began to rise, and there was a slogan called no matter how hard the children are, no matter how poor they are, no matter how poor they are, education, but compared with later generations, the level of teachers at this time is still very high.

Chen Kun also caught up with the trend and signed up for a training class for himself, that is, English, in fact, he also wanted to find a sparring to create a learning environment, more systematic learning, in addition to Chen Kun also gave himself a library card.

Since the opening of the hot pot restaurant, Chen Kun has not been to the store most of the time, anyway, there are parents and Tang Yuan, and Chen Kun used to be purely soy sauce.

Chen Changqing opened two vertical and horizontal game halls in one breath a few days ago, and the business was good, but two days ago he encountered some trouble, there was a guest surnamed Li, who was a frequent visitor to the game hall, and he shot widely.

As the old saying goes, nine out of ten bets lose, and this is true when gambling with people, and even more so with machines.

Two days ago, this person brought a bottle of gasoline to the door of the game room to set himself on fire, although Chen Changqing saw that he was about to stop it, he was still scared into a cold sweat.

It turns out that this guy surnamed Li is an accountant of a supply and marketing cooperative, a little clever, the first few times he came to the game hall to play are small sums of money, and he has made some small money, and he feels that he has found a pattern, so he has a mind that he should not get up, and fantasizes about getting rich overnight.

didn't think that there was a way out for things and what he envisioned, and he lost his little savings in two clicks, so he put his bad eyes on the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the money on the account was naturally lost, and he saw that the hole could not be filled, so he thought of self-immolation.

In fact, not only did he lose the money here in Chen Changqing, but he also went to the surrounding game halls, and he also saw that the Taishan machine was popular, and now there are so many basic game halls.

The matter was solved by Chen Changqing and Heizi singing red face and white face, the two of them were not bad, and they returned 20,000 yuan, but in this way, Chen Changqing was frightened, and he also felt in his heart that the game hall industry is not expected to be long-term, and it cannot be done as a career.

At this moment, Chen Kun sat under the bright windows of the library, looking at a book, the bright floor-to-ceiling windows were shining with bright sunlight, and the long aisle green belt outside the window was full of lilacs.

May is the tail of the lilac season, the rich fragrance of flowers permeates every inch of the air, the wind blows, and Chen Kun can also smell the fragrance of flowers indoors.

Raising his head, he looked at the small lilac white flowers outside and was slightly distracted.

In the place where Chen Kun couldn't see, Tang Baojia's independent battalion was resting in the rear, and a few days of defensive battles reduced Tang Baojia's team to more than 40 people, but fortunately, the Kokang Alliance Army had decent medical conditions

At night, Tang Baojia in the camp took Tang Yuan's letter, was slightly distracted, and said to Xu Weiguo: "I plan to go and see, will you go to Weiguo?"

Xu Weiguo took the letter and read it again, tapped his fingers on the table, and replied after a moment of silence: "Go, go together, after this battle is over, except for taking refuge in Chairman Peng, there is no place for us to stand in the whole Kokang, my father has fought a lifetime of civil war for others, I don't want to follow his old path, just go home and see." ”

Tang Jianguo nodded: "Ask how many of our own people want to go back, let's go together, be careful not to alarm those natives." ”

Xu Weiguo nodded wordlessly.

The so-called own people are actually the descendants of those educated youths, the number is not much, only about 30 people, and the remaining local natives in the village have reached an agreement with the Kokang Alliance, and there is no need for the Tang Bao family to worry about them.

Three days later, Salweenjiang, Tang Baojia and Xu Weiguo led more than 20 people to stand facing the river, all of them were yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and they also changed out of the brand-new military uniforms of the Kokang Allied Army, and put on some ragged clothes.

Tang Baojia said: "Lose it." ”

Xu Weiguo nodded, threw the rifle in his hand and the magazine into the rushing river, and then took off the grenade hanging on his chest and threw it down.

Seeing that everyone had packed up, Tang Baojia took the lead in crossing the Salween River.

While dropping their weapons, these wanderers from Myanmar also left behind their past and past in this land, welcoming the confusion and unknown on the other side of the border, and of course they didn't know what kind of grandeur Tang Yuan would bring to their lives.

Dust will eventually return to dust, soil will eventually return to soil, and wanderers who are far away from home will eventually return home.
