Chapter 11: The Unstoppable
(During the new book period, ask for recommendations, ask for collections...) )
Night is coming, and the noisy city is gradually becoming quieter.
In a remote alley, I saw a little beggar, holding a large piece of meat in both hands, munching on it, and talking endlessly to the handsome young man beside him.
This little beggar is Cao Xiaodong, he is reporting his achievements to Guo Dan today, he has lived up to Guo Dan's expectations, and he has found eight customers for Chen Lou on this day, which is the most among them.
If it was before, he must have focused on eating and couldn't speak, but today's Cao Xiaodong is talking and forgetting to eat.
"Yes, you're doing a great job."
After Guo Dan heard this, he nodded with a smile.
"It's big brother, you're amazing, I do what you say." Cao Xiaodong grinned, and said confidently: "Big brother, I will bring in more guests tomorrow." ”
After today's attempt, he already knows those routines by heart.
Guo Dan smiled and said, "Tomorrow you have a good rest." ”
With a click, half of the meat outside Cao Xiaodong's mouth suddenly fell to the ground, and said, "Big brother, why?" Are we not doing a good job? ”
Guo Dan shook his head and said: "You guys did a very good job, I just did it for safety reasons, and besides, even if you rest tomorrow, you can still make money." ”
Cao Xiaodong was curious: "Can you make money by resting?" ”
Guo Dan said: "I said yes." ”
Cao Xiaodong immediately said convinced: "Big brother said that if he can make money, then he will definitely be able to make money." He paused, and then said, "Big brother, do you think we can keep doing it?" We would also be willing to give less money. ”
As he spoke, a burning gaze gathered in his eyes, as if it was about to burst out at any moment.
And this kind of gaze, Guo Dan is very familiar, this is the gaze of the desire for money and wealth, and he was the same at the beginning. In fact, on Wall Street, there is a very popular kind of person, that is, the kind of person who is poor and smart, and full of desire for money.
So in Cao Xiaodong, Guo Dan seemed to see the shadow of his past and present, shook his head and said: "Xiaodong, don't have this kind of thought, how much money you can make, it depends on your ability, not your begging, if you are not worth the money, no matter how little you ask, you want to be worth this money, no matter how much you want, someone will give it, to be a slave of money, it is just to put down your dignity to money, not to people." ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, "As for you asking if you can continue to work, I don't think it matters, what matters is what you learn from it, the guests you pull today are some rich businessmen, they are very rich, and they are here to make money, then there will definitely be a lot of demand, so when you talk to them, you should pay attention to their every move, from their words and deeds, to think about what they need, when you find the needs that people do not find, this is to be able to make a lot of money." ”
He said some more knowledge about business, and Cao Xiaodong listened to it so seriously that he even forgot that he was still holding a piece of meat in his hand.
However, the Kou family doesn't know anything about this, and the situation in Chen Lou today has a very big impact on the Kou family, and they are also in the fog.
"What the hell is going on?"
Kou Shouxin was like the Erzhang monk, puzzled, and said: "Why is it that Chen Lou seems to come to life on this day, or even better than in the past, it's incredible, this is really incredible." ”
Kou Liansha's eyes were also full of confusion, and said, "My daughter has asked people to go to find out about this matter, and I believe that there will be results soon." ”
Kou Shouxin nodded, and said, "Since Chen Lou's business has become so prosperous, then... So is Chen Fangyuan still selling? ”
Their main concern is this transaction, and now that Chen Lou's business is so good, it usually won't be sold.
Kou Liansha shook her head and said, "My daughter doesn't know, but so far, Chen Lou hasn't sent anyone to terminate the contract." ”
Kou Shouxin frowned, and sighed again: "I have been doing a tooth business for my father for more than 20 years, but it is the first time I have encountered this kind of business. ”
This is indeed full of weirdness, not to mention the authorities, and the onlookers can't understand it.
And Jin Yulou, who was next to Chen Lou, had already taken the first step to find out the matter clearly, after all, they were paying attention to Chen Lou all the time, and Zhou Feng couldn't wait until the second day.
"Master, it turns out that Chen Fangyuan hired many children to go to the city gate to pull guests for him, and specially selected those big foreign merchants."
"Kids?"
Zhou Feng was stunned when he heard this, he never expected this.
"Hmm. It is said that many of these children were little beggars. ”
The shopkeeper immediately told Zhou Feng in detail about Chen Fangyuan's routines.
"I really underestimated Chen Fangyuan!"
Zhou Feng sneered and said, "But I will never let you Chen Lou come back to life." So saying, he instructed the steward, "Go find some men to destroy it at once." ”
"Yes."
When the housekeeper was about to go out, Zhou Feng suddenly said again: "Wait." ”
"Does the master have anything else to order?"
Zhou Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Chen Lou's targets are mainly businessmen, and the guests who come to our Jinyu Mansion are all dignitaries, so there is no conflict between the two...... So, you go and contact other restaurants and ask them to send people out of town to compete for those customers, and I don't think they want to be defeated by a bunch of little beggars. ”
......
On the second day, there were many idlers wandering around at the east gate, west gate, and south gate, but the little babies who were playing in front of the city gate yesterday were gone, but Chen Lou's business was more prosperous than yesterday.
"Master, you can't stop it, you can't stop it at all!"
The shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Building was about to walk into the house and said breathlessly.
"What can't be stopped?"
Zhou Feng was surprised.
The shopkeeper said: "Those restaurants can't stop guests from going to Chen Lou at all." ”
"What do you say? Are those people all rubbish, not even a few little beggars? Zhou Feng said in surprise and anger.
"No... No, those little beggars didn't appear at all today, mainly because Chen Lou also issued a kind of rebate coupon yesterday. ”
"Rebate vouchers?"
Zhou Feng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is it?" ”
The shopkeeper was depressed and explained the ins and outs of the whole thing to Zhou Feng.
It turns out that those customers yesterday are foreign businessmen, specially here to trade, according to the general process, yesterday is just to contact, today is the formal negotiation, after the negotiation, then naturally have to go to the restaurant, holding the rebate coupon, do not need to bring it back? In addition, the food in Chen Lou is very good, and the business atmosphere of Chen Lou is very strong, which leads them to take customers to Chen Lou today, and most of them are repeat customers who go to Chen Lou today, and what is worse is that this repeat customer also brings new customers, which can't be stopped at all.
Many restaurants are on the verge of despair.
And in the contract signed by Guo Dan and Chen Fangyuan, there is a more complicated one, that is, about Cao Xiaodong's commission, as long as it is a customer they pulled, the second time they come back, when the consumption reaches a certain amount, they can still get some commissions, but not as much as the first time.
Cao Xiaodong On the second day of work, they experienced the taste of lying down and taking money, which may not be a good start!
When Zhou Feng heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, but at the same time, he was very confused in his heart, "Then when did Chen Lao'er become so powerful?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "Master, I also think this matter is rather strange, Chen Fangyuan shouldn't have come up with such an idea, otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen to today, I guess it will have something to do with the Kou family." ”
Zhou Feng took a breath of cold air and said busily: "It must be so." ”
Suddenly, he remembered another person and said, "By the way, what about the people of the Liu family?" When something so big happens, don't they just ignore it? ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a hearty laugh outside, "Uncle Zhou doesn't need to be anxious, everything is under the control of the little nephew." ”
I saw Liu Chengbian walk in.
When Zhou Feng saw Liu Chengbian, he was angry and said, "You came just in time ......." As soon as the words came out, he paused again and said, "What did you mean by that earlier?" ”
Liu Chengbian first bowed, and then said: "Regarding this matter, I have already investigated clearly, this is just a trick of the Kou family. ”
"Tricks?"
"Not bad."
Liu Chengbian said: "Or maybe it's hurting people, Uncle Zhou is also a restaurant, he should know the interests of this restaurant better than his nephew, Chen Fangyuan distributed a large number of rebate coupons on the one hand, and hired so many beggars on the other hand, and the price of wine and food has not risen, it is impossible to make money." According to the information I got, this idea was indeed thought up by the eldest lady of the Kou family, she hopes to improve Chen Lou's business first, and then sell it for a good price, and I also know that Zuixiaolou has already sold 1,800 taels and wants to buy Chen Lou's kitchen, but the Kou family did not agree, which also proves that the little nephew's previous guess was not wrong. ”
"Where did you hear all this?" Zhou Feng still seemed very cautious.
Liu Chengbian said truthfully: "I learned it from Guo Dan's mouth, and the facts have proved that what he said is true, if Chen Lou's business is really very good, then he should immediately terminate the cooperation with the Kou family and run Chen Lou wholeheartedly, but I just inquired about it, Chen Lou did not terminate the cooperation with the Kou family, it can be seen that all this is a trick." ”
Zhou Feng was stunned for a while, and then smiled: "It's really unfortunate that the old man of the Kou family has found such a son-in-law!" As he spoke, he asked, "What do you think of it now?" ”
Liu Cheng said confidently: "Let these news out, let everyone know that Chen Lou is just hurting people, in this way, those peers will definitely be dissatisfied with Chen Lou, because he is hurting the interests of the entire restaurant industry by doing this, and I don't think Chen Lou will last long, when the time comes, hum, we will have to press his price." ”
Zhou Feng nodded.
It's not that he's afraid that others will rush to buy it, I'm afraid that Chen Lou will come back to life.
