Chapter 68: The Price of Maturity
While the Ma brothers and sisters were mediating in Wujiang, Jin Yang and Han Weidong, Senior Colonel Liu Jing, had a light meal without alcohol at the Tucai Restaurant opposite the Moulin Rouge.
After an afternoon of adjustment, Jin Yang's mood returned to normal, and explained to Han Weidong the materials of Guizhu, as well as the arrangement of receiving the 'Shuangguo' business personnel in the evening, and then said to Colonel Yu: "What is your experience of running a bar?" ”
Recently, according to Jin Yang's arrangement, Zang Qing bought a lot of books on bar marketing for the three Han Weidong brothers. Colonel Yu hadn't touched a book for many years, let alone read a book. But this time, I took a little time to hold on to the books and gnaw wildly, and I didn't care if I could absorb and digest them, so I memorized them all and said it again.
Colonel Yu replied: "Bars should have their own cultural atmosphere and potential customer base; The service process of the bar should be meticulous and standardized; There are no unqualified bar employees, only unqualified bar owners; The most important thing in the service is the eyes and ears, so that the eyes and ears can see and hear. ”
Jin Yang looked at Han Weidong and Liu Jing, and sighed: "Not bad, not bad!" Even better than I could have imagined. Colonel, are you interested in running a bar on your own? ”
In front of Jin Yang, Colonel Yu always maintained a smiling and cute look, "Moulin Rouge?" Manager Zang is very well managed. Besides, Boss Han and Liu Laosan are not very obedient to me......"
Han Weidong spit out a puff of cigarette, stared at Colonel Yu's smug smile, and scolded with a smile: "Huh! As soon as Brother Yang praised, you really got up? ”
Colonel Yu's eyes rolled, looked at Jin Yang and said, "Brother Yang is preparing to open a new bar?" Hey! Leave it to our brother to take care of it, and promise to make a lot of money. ”
Liu Jing spoke like a woman, her voice was thin and sharp, "Don't think that you are the only one who reads the book, one of the taboos of bar management is multi-head management." ”
Colonel Yu retorted: "Will there still be disagreements between our brothers? ”
Liu Jing was unconvinced: "Business is management, brothers are brothers, how can it be generalized?" ”
"Enough!" Han Weidong grinned: "Listen to Brother Yang." ”
Jin Yang looked at them with a smile. I sighed in my heart. Who says they're trash, gangsters, mud, destined to go to jail? Everyone has their own suitable platform, and with the platform, they are valued, valued, and needed, so that they can feel the true meaning of life and respect others. He remembered the first time he saw Han Weidong at the Handyang North Police Station, where he was used as a stirring stick at the gate of Wuran to break up the workers' assembly, and was detained in the police station in private, and was severely beaten by Hu Biao's people and hospitalized.
How different it is before and after. But the real change came from Colonel Yu's father and uncle secretly coming to Qingyuan to see him. When he saw that his hair had returned to black, his previous earrings had been removed, his clothes were dressed like a white-collar worker, and he was serving drinks and water in the bar, his mental outlook and complexion were completely different from before, his forty-five-year-old father was crying on the bar steps, and his uncle said proudly: "I said that he has changed again, you don't believe me, now believe it." ”
The abnormal behavior of the two of them alarmed Zangqing, and he came out to ask about the situation, but without saying anything, he immediately invited the two of them in as VIPs.
If you want to say that Colonel Yu's father is the most disgusted person in his life, it is none other than several of his son's sworn friends Han Weidong and Liu Jing, if he accidentally met him during Wujiang, his father would either warn or threaten to sue him, or else he would curse and curse, so that when Han Weidong saw Yu's father, he was scared, how far he could escape.
It's the same this time, Han Weidong was preparing today's emergency drink, and suddenly saw Zangqing take Yu's father in, he was almost half paralyzed with fright, and he looked at Liu Jing and Colonel Yu again and again, the two didn't receive his message, and he didn't care about his buddy's righteousness, so he pulled his leg and went to the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, Dad Yu's feet and hands were fast, and his eyes were fast, and he suddenly grabbed his collar from behind, so frightened that Han Weidong's three souls lost two souls, and he turned around with a miserable expression and accompanied the smiling face: "Uncle Yu...... The colonel over there? After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the direction of Colonel Yu and Liu Jing, and said in his heart: Brother! Don't blame me! I was also forced to be helpless!
"Weidong! Thank you! Dad Yu took out a cigarette from his pocket with a grateful face and took the initiative to hand one to Han Weidong.
"Ahh No, no, Uncle Yu...... Ay! Han Weidong resisted the cigarette in shock, seeing that Yu's father was fierce and could not refuse, he was completely dead to escape, took the cigarette with a spirit of preparation for heroic sacrifice, and said dejectedly: "If you are angry, just shoot at me, just beat me, don't blame them, I proposed to take them out......"
"Well bringed, well bringed! I really didn't expect that this little cub left home and suddenly opened up! Ha ha! You're not bad, you're all good, you've got a makeover. Father Yu patted Han Weidong's shoulder affectionately, pointed at Uncle Yu, and said, "He secretly came to Qingyuan several times, and every time he went back to report the news of the little cub, I didn't believe it." This time, seeing is believing. ”
Han Weidong is like a dream! Until Colonel Yu and Liu Jing came over, Yu's father praised again, and said that Yunyun, a friend who couldn't live with the colonel before, would like to treat him today to express his gratitude and apologies.
For the first time, Colonel Yu felt double pride and pride in front of his family and friends.
At the wine table that day, Yu's father ordered sixteen dishes and two bottles of Shuijingfang. During the banquet, I don't know whether it was a drunken remark or a casual remark, saying that he wanted Colonel Yu to study and operate well, and he would invest in him to open a small bar in Wujiang in the future.
Since Yu's father came, the progress of the three brothers has been visible every day. Tibetan Qing reported their performance to Jin Yang on time, and did not hesitate to praise them.
Jin Yang smiled and said to the three brothers Han Weidong: "When you can all manage a bar, I am going to open a branch, from near to far, first open a store in Zhouyu, a neighboring county in Qingyuan, then go to Yunxi City, and then go back to Wujiang to open a ...... in the future."
"I'm for it!"
"That's a great decision, haha!"
The three brothers shouted excitedly, and almost jumped up and hugged Jin Yang.
Jin Yang said sincerely: "I will sign an agreement with each of you. For every year you manage a bar, you automatically get two percent of the bar's shares. ”
The three of them were stunned, Han Weidong shook his head and said, "No, we don't want ...... shares."
Jin Yang interrupted them and said sincerely, "This is what you deserve. Not a handout for anyone. In addition, you are also a supernumerary member of the 'Dual Country Business Survey' company...... Of course, that's an afterthought. What to do in the future, Cheng Bao will talk to you specifically. ”
Speaking of this, Jin Yang looked down at his watch, and immediately got up and said, "Let's go, it's time for you to work." Let's go back to the bar. ”
Back at the Moulin Rouge, Jin Yang heard a beautiful piano sound when he entered the door.
He looked at the figure of Miao Man behind the white piano and said in amazement: "Isn't the piano performance at eight o'clock?" It's not seven o'clock yet? ”
Han Weidong and Senior Colonel Yu smiled strangely and said nothing. Liu Jing stared at Yan Jieju's figure, quickly retracted her gaze, and sighed: "She is more active than us, and yesterday she asked if there was a shortage of waiters in the Laozang bar, Brother Yang!" I've been getting too tired lately......"
Jin Yang was surprised, "Why? ”
Liu Jing looked at Jin Yang with worshipful eyes, pointed at Yan Jieju, and said, "She pesters me every day to ask about Brother Yang." I don't know much, I repeated it several times, you said, ......"
Han Weidong opened his mouth and said: "Brother Yang, I think she is quite infatuated, and she is not worse than anyone else, brother, you might as well accept it." Otherwise, it's a waste of resources. ”
Colonel Yu also said: "That's it! Our brother is not strong enough, but we are not jealous in the hands of Brother Yang, if we pick this tulip for outsiders, our brother will definitely be depressed for more than half a year. ”
Jin Yang was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "Don't be idle, go to work." He took two steps in the direction of the booth and said, "I'll open a bottle of red wine later." ”
"At what price?" Han Weidong introduced.
Jin Yang said: "You know that I don't like foreign wine, and I will have a girlfriend in a while, and she has to like it." ”
Han Weidong said with a smile: "It depends on what guests Brother Yang is going to entertain." If you are a guest, I recommend a bottle of Rothschild's Lafite Legend Pauillac, which is not as good as the real Lafite, but is quite popular with upper-class women; If you are an ordinary friend, you can have a bottle of crinroja 2004; If it's the kind of intimate relationship, I recommend ......"
Seeing that Han Weidong's words began to be ambiguous, Jin Yang hurriedly waved his hand, "Just the first red wine you said." ”
"Okay!" Han Weidong turned and left.
At this time, Yan Jieju was playing a very soothing tune, Jin Yang didn't understand music, but he also felt a feeling that his troubles were relieved. He snuggled up slightly on the couch, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the beautiful piano music.
I don't know how long it took, the music made him forget time, and when he was half-asleep, a soft female voice came from his ear: "Debussy once said that music is as boundless as nature, like the wind, like the sky, like the ocean." And those beautiful and soothing piano music have a certain magical energy, which makes people happy physically and mentally, relieves troubles, consumes deep negative pressure index, and enters a subconscious state of relaxation. All people who are under pressure must believe that there are many beautiful things around you that are worth savoring, as long as you are willing to stop for a second and listen carefully. Some melodies may make you hear tears, listen to memories, that means that you have been moved, your heart is still soft, there is still a silent territory, close your eyes and fall asleep, tomorrow will be a different sunshine. ”
Jin Yang suddenly sobered up, sat up, looked at the woman on the other side of the sofa, and smiled apologetically: "Miss Yan, I'm sorry!" Listen to your piano music and fall asleep......"
Yan Jieju said with a smile: "Jin Ju did not fall asleep, but entered another meditative state, so you heard what I said just now. If you do fall asleep, you won't be able to hear. ”
Jin Yang pondered that he could really hear her interpretation of music word for word. He couldn't help but nodded, "This proves Miss Yan's superb musical skills. ”
Yan Jieju shook her head slightly, and said softly: "This proves that Mr. Jin is born with music cells, is sensitive to music, and can quickly capture the source of music......"
Jin Yang hurriedly shook his head, smiled, and asked, "Is your classmate home?" ”
Suddenly shifting from the topic of music to real life, Yan Jiejubai paused for a while, lowered her head, and replied in a slightly deep voice: "She went back, thank you for your concern." ”
"Oh! If you want to go back, you can also go home, it's not easy for a girl to live alone outside the home. ”
"Does the Golden Bureau not want me?" Yan Jieju raised her head suddenly, as soon as the words fell, she and he both heard that this was a sick sentence, she blushed and hurriedly explained, "I mean that there is no pianist in the bar......"
Hearing her explanation, Jin Yang's breathing finally became smooth again. He laughed, "Where! A pianist like you isn't something you can get if you want to. I'm worried about homesickness, and I don't have any classmates or friends here......"
"No! I really don't feel lonely, I like Qingyuan, I like the Moulin Rouge. ”
Jin Yang listened to her insincere words, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he changed the topic and said, "When you mentioned your classmate just now, your tone and look told me, there is a problem?" ”
Yan Jieju hesitated: "...... No. ”
Jin Yang said softly: "If there is no personal ** involved, you can talk to me." ”
Yan Jieju bit her lip and said, "From junior high school and high school to college, we are all together, closer than sisters." But after this incident, I felt that we were estranged, as polite as strangers, and ...... The third day I sent her home, her mom called me and told me she had run away again......"
Jin Yang sighed and said, "Remember, you must not do anything beyond your ability in the future, if you can't save someone, you will even get into it in a daze." ”
"Hmm!" Yan Jieju's voice became softer and softer. If Jin Yang hadn't experienced Bai Xiaoqin's low hum, it would be difficult to hear it clearly.
In an instant, Jin Yang suddenly thought that Yan Jieju may not be as dazzling as Bai Xiaoqin, but the figure of a European woman with a surname is a lot of points, and the two seem to have the same docile and loyal characteristics, and their surnames are kind and simple. And the female surname Su Juan or Yan Jie, who is more mature than them, and even Zhao Doudou, who is not much older than Yan Jieju but has a lot of experience, all have their own reading thoughts.
When he thought that Bai Xiaoqin would never use "um" to show his love again in a few years, Jin Yang was even slightly disappointed.
Just as they both fell silent, a nice voice broke the silence.
"Sorry! I'm late! ”
