When Yu Mingyue and her party came to the second floor, almost all the guests who stayed for the banquet had arrived, but they only sat around less than thirty tables, which made this hall that could open a hundred tables seem a little empty. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But there's nothing strange about that.

After all, this cannot be compared with the custom of setting up a flowing banquet for several days when holding a wedding banquet in the countryside. The banquet for the opening ceremony is similar to the wedding banquet for people in the city, and most people will leave after eating the main meal at noon. Only those who are close to the host's family will stay to play until the afternoon resume.

Moreover, the dishes eaten at the banquet in the afternoon, even if you don't eat the leftovers from the main banquet like in the countryside, the dishes will definitely be a few grades worse than the main banquet, and it looks much lighter.

As today, nearly a third of the people can still stay and return to the table, which seems to be a bit too much.

But what seems even more strange is that more than 80 percent of the people at the less than 30 tables are elderly people and children of all ages. Among the remaining less than 20 percent, most of them are women who also look like housewives, and there are few men.

In this comparison, the three young and strong men Kong Xinggang, Yu Zhiqing and Wang Yang, who were shuttling between the tables to greet the guests at this time, were very eye-catching.

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, there is a sense of weirdness.

At least at this time, among Yu Mingyue and his party, except for the two children Xiao Zhi and Yin Ling, the other few people all had such feelings in their hearts after seeing the situation in the hall.

"It's .... Xiaoyue, could it be that the private room upstairs is also a guest tonight? Kong Xingming stared at the hall a little unindifferent, and finally looked at Yu Mingyue, who looked a little strange next to him.

After Yu Mingyue entered the hall just now, she found this problem with a glance, and she was a little puzzled in her heart, but then she figured it out.

The mood is both helpless and a little crying and laughing. But when she saw clearly that although the people who stayed behind for the resale were old and young, there were quite a few people, thinking of Kong Xinggang's remorse when he miscalculated, she couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.

At this time, Yu Mingyue heard Kong Xingming ask, and several people next to her were also looking at her with puzzled expressions, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

She can't say directly: there must be no one to sit upstairs, and now this situation is just a clever trick and a small calculation, and the result is obviously a miscalculation, so it has become such a result.

"There shouldn't be anyone in the private room, and now it's probably because it's Friday." After speaking, seeing that Kong Xingming, who had always been shrewd, didn't seem to understand, Yu Mingyue was a little stubborn for a while, wanting to see what this uncle would look like after he understood what was going on.

So while taking the lead to walk to an empty table where no one was sitting, he couldn't help but smile and explained: "Uncle, you also know that my brother-in-law is now more and more fond of liveliness, and his hospitable temperament is famous. The opening of the hotel is such a big event, of course, he is going to do it.

In order to make today more lively, so when he invited guests this time, he had already told the invited guests that it would be great to be able to come with the whole family to increase the popularity of the hotel today.

No, since he asked for it so specifically, everyone obviously gave him face. Merely... Hey hey...."

Yu Mingyue laughed when she said this, but Kong Shenglan, who obviously didn't understand what Yu Mingyue was really talking about, took over the conversation with the two girls from the same village who were good friends with her at this time, and said with a smile that their family had also received such an invitation.

Yu Mingyue looked at the look on Kong Xingming's face that could only be described in colorful ways, and she was almost injured with a smile.

At this time, how could her uncle not understand?

It just so happened that several people had come to the table while laughing, and Yu Mingyue sat down with Kong Yinling in her arms.

Immediately, he also pulled Li Huilan, who looked a little restrained at this time, and sat next to her. Yu Mingyan, who has always loved being inseparable from her, sat on the other side of her with Xiao Zhi in her arms.

And Kong Xingming was conscious, and sat directly next to Li Huilan.

Kong Shenglan, who came down together, took the two girls from the same village and sat down next to Yu Mingyan in turn.

Six people and two children, sitting at this kind of large round table that ten people also seem very loose, it is not loose, but a little empty.

However, looking at the table next to it where there were two tables with dishes, but no one was sitting, Yu Mingyue also knew that there was no need to wait for anyone to come to the table before moving, so she directly beckoned everyone to eat.

She thought that the topic just now was over, and she picked up her chopsticks and was ready to start. But who would have thought, Kong Shenglan, who has always been curious but a little sluggish, obviously didn't want to end that topic.

Kong Shenglan, who was sitting diagonally opposite Yu Mingyue, was still full of doubts on her face at this time. It should be said that I am a little more confused.

"Hey Xiaoyue, you didn't finish your words just now, what are you smirking at there? Are you making fun of my little cousin? What's so funny about this, I really don't know what you think, what's so bad about hospitality. Look at the opening of your hotel today, isn't it all due to Uncle Xiao's popularity. ”

Kong Shenglan's grandfather Kong Mingzhong and Kong Mingfu are cousins, it is said that Kong Shenglan has to call Kong Xinggang cousin, but the relationship between the two families has always been close, so she has called Kong Xinggang uncle since she was a child.

It seems to be the nature of the Kong family to protect the short, and after Kong Shenglan finished speaking, she also threw a dissatisfied look at Yu Mingyue. Although the blood relationship is a little distant, Kong Shenglan has worshipped her powerful little cousin as an idol since she was a child.

Yu Mingyue, who was carrying chopsticks and preparing to pick up vegetables, was instantly stunned. I won't talk about whether my brother-in-law's popularity is good or not. But this hospitality?

Hearing this word again, being pressed on Kong Xinggang's head so naturally, and it also made her find that someone was so protective of Kong Xinggang's stingy ghost, and the corners of Yu Mingyue's mouth, who finally couldn't hold back her laughter, began to cramp again.

If her brother-in-law really likes to be lively and hospitable, he wouldn't have deliberately chosen today, which is obviously a Friday, to hold an opening celebration.

Thinking of this, Yu Mingyue glanced at Kong Xinggang who was shuttling in the hall at this time, and faintly listened to him enthusiastically shouting uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, fathers and aunts, etc., and kept beckoning people to eat and drink well, Yu Mingyue really couldn't react.

After all, with Yu Mingyue's explanation of Kong Xinggang, she could see that the happy expression on Kong Xinggang's face was not pretended. That enthusiasm isn't faking either.

Her brother-in-law, that's really stingy in the eyes of money.

Can......

Yu Mingyue suddenly couldn't figure out the situation.

At this time, Kong Xingming also discovered Kong Xinggang's abnormality today.

The uncle and nephew glanced at each other, and both saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.

Although in the past year, Kong Xinggang, the chairman of Sanxing Group, has been labeled as an iron rooster, a stingy ghost, a nouveau riche, and a local old impostor, but in this short period of time, it seems to have been forgotten. However, the characteristics of simplicity and pragmatism, righteousness, generosity, hospitality, and love of excitement seem to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the past year, and are often discussed by people who mention him.

However, it is better to say that he has forgotten his past qualities, or perhaps because of Kong Xinggang's current status, many people are unwilling or afraid to apply those derogatory evaluations to him in public for one reason or another.

After all, since last winter, when Sanxing Company implemented an unprecedented policy of benefiting farmers and called on the peasant compatriots in Kapok City to vigorously plant fruit trees, Kong Xinggang, who has been mobilizing and speaking for a week during the news time of Kapok City TV Station, has become a peasant entrepreneur who is not very Chinese in many eyes but understands the general righteousness and is developed but vows not to forget his roots.

Although most of the things he promised on television had not yet been fulfilled at the time, Kong Xinggang had become famous since that speech.

Even if there are still people who don't believe in private, and there are many people who say cool things, it is undeniable that not only Kong Xinggang personally, but even the Sanxing company he represents has won a lot of good reputation because of this matter.

Then, when Kong Xinggang promised on TV to build bridges and pave roads for peasant compatriots, build new schools for the poor mountainous areas of Kapok City, and invest 1 million yuan in advance to set up the Sanxing Student Fund and Sanxing Charity Fund, and still witnessed the implementation of the news by the people through the news dissemination of the Kapok TV station, for a while, what is simple and pragmatic, what is true to the word, caring for the compatriots, loving, kind, righteous, generous and other words of praise and not asking for money were pasted on him.

In addition to these praises, the people of Kapok now basically know that Kong Xinggang, who was born as a farmer, is a very hospitable and lively person. So every time I do something, I like to put on a big show, just to have a good time.

As soon as she thought of other people's comments on Kong Xinggang now, and those words that obviously helped Kong Xinggang exonerate in her opinion, Yu Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh.

Don't say anything else to praise Kong Xinggang, but can you say that her brother-in-law is hospitable and generous?

Whenever she heard someone praise Kong Xinggang with these words, she couldn't help but blush for him.

But today, Sanxing Hotel opened, and among the guests who came to attend the opening ceremony at noon, in addition to the original relatives and friends of the three families, the old neighbors, and the management and employees of Sanxing Company and Xingyueyan Supermarket, most of them are new friends from the political and business circles who have only met in business over the years.

Obviously, most of these invited guests were deceived by the false image created by her brother-in-law.

Because these people, whether they deliberately bring their families to cheer for their favor, or want to take today's opportunity to bring their families to network more, or they want to bring their wives and children to open their eyes and have a sumptuous lunch by the way, anyway, these guests who think Kong Xinggang is 'hospitable and generous' have come with their families.

Otherwise, even if the social circle of the three families is now bigger, but this is an opening ceremony, not a wedding wine, many people don't need to be invited, where would it be such an exaggeration to hold 90 tables.

There are a lot of people coming, although it is indeed lively, and because it is a Friday or a weekday, it is impossible for these people to really spend a day here. But with so many people coming, the cost of a meal at noon alone is not old or young.

In Yu Mingyue's opinion, Kong Xinggang should have miscalculated on this point.

Because Kong Xing just said hello in advance, saying that he would not charge a penny of gift money for opening today, so in addition to receiving hundreds of flower baskets placed on several floors outside the hotel, and the banners congratulating the opening of the entire building that were hung all over the exterior walls of the building but still not finished, there was really no income.

In fact, Yu Mingyue really underestimated Kong Xinggang.

Today's situation will occur, not that Kong Xinggang is now rich and has more money, and he is panicked, not to mention that he has really become generous after becoming rich and famous. In fact, he is still the one who got into the eyes of money in the hearts of Yu Mingyue and all his relatives.

It's just that after Kong Xinggang has been crawling in the shopping mall for so many years, to be precise, since last winter when he called on the peasant compatriots in Kapok City to plant fruit trees, Kong Xinggang tasted the sweetness of giving up some small money but not only getting rich returns, but also getting a good reputation, he is no longer the farmer young entrepreneur who only knows how to value immediate interests in the past.

Today's Kong Xinggang is a little more shrewd as a businessman, even if he picks out the level and the realm even in the door.

Businessmen are all about profit, but they have learned how to whitewash this ultimate goal more glamorously, and then achieve more benefits, or more potential benefits.

And Sanxing, which only had a reputation in Kapok City before, but there was no intuitive image in the hearts of the people, not to mention what is worthy of the people's trust, after Kong Xing just became famous, Kapok and even the people who had read the news, suddenly had a great good impression and high evaluation of Sanxing, a private enterprise.

Not to mention anything else, the sales volume of food and beverages produced by Sanxing Company in the Kapok area suddenly more than doubled in just one month.

Since then, the monthly sales have been climbing compared to the previous month.

It sounds like an exaggeration, but it's not.

The biggest but simplest reason is that it's only a new brand that's only been on the market for a few years.

New, which means that it will have a lot of room for development, but also means that it does not have as many loyal consumers as the old brands behind it.

Even if Sanxing Company belongs to the local enterprise of Kapok, Sanxing brand beverages and food belong to local brands, and it is easier to promote it when it is put into the market than in other cities, and it can enter the largest and most famous local Xingyueyan supermarket without suspense as soon as it is listed, and it is displayed in the best and most conspicuous counter in the beverage area for sale.

Later, because of the three actresses in the popular TV series to endorse and advertise, the brand Sanxing was soon well-known by the people of Kapok and even the whole country.

But any product, it is one thing to be known, it is only another thing to be known, and the most important thing is that someone must be willing to spend money to buy it, and finally because of its excellent quality, it will be affirmed and recognized by consumers.

But in this world, people who like to spend their own money to take risks and try new things will not be the majority.

Not to mention eating a product like food, which can easily make people dependent. People are like this, when they get used to and like a taste, and then eat other foods of the same type, as long as they can't make him feel really special and delicious, he will always feel that there is something wrong with it.

Not to mention the people of China, a country that is recognized as the most conservative and nostalgic for the old.

Throughout, those who are willing and fond of trying new things are only a small fraction of young people.

However, since Kong Xinggang won the hearts and minds of himself and Sanxing Company because of that speech and subsequent practical actions, whenever they are faced with the Sanxing brand or the same type of goods as Sanxing, many people can't help but think of the young farmer entrepreneur with a sincere smile and simple words on TV.

At that moment, the original consumption norms in the hearts of these people quietly changed. For such a young man who does what he says and will use real money to care for and help the disadvantaged, they are also willing to take a small risk and buy the goods produced by his company, and they can use it themselves.

It is said that the human heart is the most complex thing in this world, but in fact, sometimes, it is so simple and straightforward.
