Chapter 167: It's not going well
Top Picks: 、、、、、、、
The faint candle flame jumped in front of our eyes, and the dim yellow light rendered the atmosphere a little depressing, I exhaled heavily, and then Gu Ran smiled lightly, and said: "Wang Ye, the reason why I ask this is that I want to tell you that some things have turned into the past, and even if we finally find the answer, we can't change the existing pattern, so there are some things that don't need to be pursued, isn't it?" ”
I tapped the table with my fingertips, then took a sip of the coffee that had no temperature in the cup, and said to Gu Ran: "Do you find out, no matter how we say goodbye, but in the end, because of such and such trivial matters, we will be involved again..."
Gu Ran nodded in agreement: "So, we are in deep love..."
I shook my head: "It's a deep relationship..."
Gu Ran habitually showed two shallow dimples, and asked me as if he remembered something: "By the way, Wang Ye, I plan to invest in Mr. Huang's unnamed café, do you have any better marketing ideas?" ”
I frowned and looked at Gu Ran: "No wonder Ah Huo said that people should look forward, and the feeling is that you want to invest in his café?" ”
"Yes, I like the character and creativity of this kind of café, leaving the name to the guests, so that they can use their imagination to the fullest, so that everyone has their own café in their hearts..."
"Have you ever tasted that signature cup of coffee that he debugged?"
"I was lucky enough to taste it at the beginning of the month, the floral aroma of roses can't hide the bitterness of the coffee, and the result is often full of fantasy, but the process of waiting for the result is painful...... Everyone has a star in the night sky, maybe it's a person, maybe it's a feeling, or it's just a belief, so everyone is a person waiting for the star..."After a pause, Gu Ran asked me again: "In your heart, this coffee shop should also have its own name..."
I nodded and said, ""South and West of the City"..."
Gu Ran looked at me puzzled: "Why is it called "South and West of the City"? Does it have any special meaning? ”
I smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just a good call..."
"Hehe, it must have something to do with Sister Miki..."
I was reluctant to mention Mickey's name, so I stirred the coffee in my cup with a spoon, lit myself a cigarette, and asked, "By the way, don't you have your own coffee shop 'long time no see'?" Why do you suddenly want to invest in this café again? ”
Gu Ran pouted for a long time before he said: "That 'long time no see' was invested by Lu Hui's father at that time, so it seems that I am the owner of this store, but in fact, their family has a professional accountant, and all the funds in the store are under their supervision...... So I just want to do something else with my own funds...... If something happens in the future, I can have a place to live..."
I nodded in a sudden realization, but I didn't quite understand why Lu Hui's family was still wary of her everywhere since Gu Ran had already married Lu Hui as an official legal couple... And this is enough to prove that Gu Ran, who married into a wealthy family at this time, was not as smooth as I imagined.
After thinking for a while, I finished the coffee in the cup, took another puff of cigarette, and said to Gu Ran: "The idea of investing in your own project is good, but don't always think of something negative... Live well, what can happen to you..."
"Hehe, there are too many unknown things in this world, so you have to plan ahead and leave a way back for yourself..."
I flicked the cigarette ash on my fingertips, and then I remembered a question, so I asked her curiously: "By the way, it's already late at night, why did you run out at this time?" ”
Gu Ran seemed to avoid this topic, so he looked at the wall clock on the wall and said, "That's right, it's already a little over, so I won't delay your rest, you shouldn't have a place to live after you return to Shanghai, right?" ”
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I rented the original house to someone else, and now I live here for the time being... When you find the right house, you're leaving..."
"That's it......" Gu Ran looked at the wall clock again, and said, "It's not early, I have to leave, I have time to come and chat with you again..."
I extinguished the cigarette butt in my hand and said, "It's dark and the road is freezing, be careful on the road you drive..."
"Well, you should rest early, too..."
……
I sent Gu Ran outside the door, and after seeing her get into the car with my own eyes, I lit a cigarette for myself again in the cold wind, and quietly watched the car lights slowly disappear from my sight...
Time passed gradually, and at noon two days later, in the course of these two days, Lao Li called me another 50,000 yuan, and I didn't call Shen Wei immediately because in my plan, I had to do something for Sun Zhenzhen next.
In Sun Zhenzhen's office, I saw at a glance that the traffic here was almost small, and in the store opposite them, the traffic inside was almost full, and even many people waited in line outside against the cold wind, which is like this in the eyes of the Chinese people, the same thing, even if you are a few cents more expensive than others, they will think that you are cheating him, so the customers in Sun Zhenzhen's store can almost be counted with one hand.
Sitting at Sun Zhenzhen's desk, I looked at the financial statements in my hand and said to Sun Zhenzhen: "Naive, you have lost a little too much in the store recently..."
Sun Zhenzhen had a lollipop in his mouth, looked at the statement in my hand, and said, "Almost all of them have been spending recently, and I don't have much income..."
I frowned: "You guys have a lot of waiters in this hotel... The monthly salary alone has to be tens of thousands of expenses, and this manager's salary is as high as 5,000..."
Sun Zhenzhen pouted: "What should I do?" ”
I lit myself a cigarette and looked up and said, "If we want to win this long battle, we have to change our current business strategy...... Think about how to keep the hotel running without losing money, so that even if we don't compete with them, they will collapse on their own, because the capital game itself is a high-risk operation...... The first thing we need to do now is to cut back on our spending and think about what's next... You sort out a staff profile for me in a while, remember to be sure to pick out the people who usually have a good and bad work attitude, and this manager, you call her in later, and go to the cashier to withdraw a thousand yuan by the way..."
Sun Zhenzhen looked at me in surprise: "You shouldn't be expelling someone, right?" She's a friend of mine at a distant relative's house... And she used to be a hotel manager, and she hasn't been here for half a month now... For this reason, I also specially fired the previous manager..."
"The most taboo thing for a businessman is to let an acquaintance come to work in his company, because this is likely to become his (her) arrogant and arrogant capital..."After a pause, I realized one more thing, so I immediately glared at Sun Zhenzhen and said: "First take a copy of your restaurant's vegetable purchase price list to me..."
"What are you doing with this?"
"If you want to take it, you can take it, where is so much nonsense..."
Sun Zhenzhen was dissatisfied with the computer and took a purchase form and put it on my head and knocked it around, I reached out and pinched her arm, and then took the purchase form in my hand and looked at it, after a general understanding, I immediately took out my mobile phone and called Lao Li to ask about the price of vegetables in the market today...
After I got today's vegetable price from Lao Li, I flicked the purchase table in my hand with my fingers, lowered my voice and said, "Call the staff in charge of purchasing in your hotel..."
Sun Zhenzhen has worked with me, and naturally knows that when I usually speak in this tone, it means that this matter is very worthy of my attention, so after a while, a woman in her thirties walked in...
I stretched out my hand and motioned for her to sit down, then got up and sat down at the desk in front of her, lit a cigarette for myself and smoked, through the smoke, I narrowed my eyes and asked, "Do you usually do all the vegetable shopping in the restaurant by yourself?" ”
She said a mouthful of Mandarin that I had to work hard to barely understand, and said, "I've been doing it here for more than two years, and I usually do it myself..." ”
Sun Zhenzhen glanced at me secretly, and then I pursed my lips and asked: "If I remember correctly, your monthly salary is less than two thousand and a half, and you have been working for two years, which shows how much you love this job..."
She looked at Sun Zhenzhen and smiled, and said: "This job is not tiring, when Boss Sun didn't take over this hotel before, I was not prepared to do it, but when Boss Sun came, I found that she was a very likable boss, so I have been working here, and I also like this job..."
"Like......" I couldn't help but laugh at her words: "If she wasn't a fool, would she be so likable to you?" ”
Her face began to be cloudy, and then Sun Zhenzhen pinched her waist and glared at me: "Who do you say is a fool, please scold people and carry me behind my back?" ”
"You're such a fool, you're not a stupid..."I slammed the purchase form on my desk to the ground and said angrily: "Today's chives in the wholesale market are three yuan and eighty-one pounds, and acquaintances can get the minimum three yuan and one pound, but what is written on this report is actually eight yuan per catty... As long as you are still stupid to do business with a few scholars, this store is not a loss to others, let the insiders hollow it out first..."

Someone asked me today on QQ why the big chapter is about 1,000 words less than the usual two, in fact, it is less, because it is during the Chinese New Year, this time is crowded with time code words, so there will be fewer updates, there are a lot of people who have recently gotten married, and there are three weddings to participate in a few days, some are busy, so they can't write so many things, there are many people in the family, very noisy, can't calm down... Playing cards every day... When this special period passes, it will return to normal updates, and it will be OK to write more every day at that time.
