Chapter 81 New Product Launch

I walked over, stood beside Fang Ling, glanced at the propaganda board, and said, "Ling'er, what are you looking at?" ”

"Brother, you're here, I'm looking at the notice on this."

The contents of the notice board can be summarized into three items: first, the building will resume business tonight, and due to insufficient preparation, only guests with VIP cards will be entertained; Second, the price of tonight's dishes is set by the customers after eating; The third is to resume normal business from tomorrow.

After reading it, I said: "This Xiao Tian, he has come up with the trick of self-pricing again." ”

Fang Ling also smiled: "Yes, this is about to become Xiao Tian's signature, brother, is it just that this first one is inappropriate?" ”

"Ling'er, what's wrong?"

"Brother, do you think that the opening of the door should be open, but now there are restrictions, will it offend a large number of guests who do not have VIP cards?"

In addition to the development direction of the Shifeng Commercial Bank, I basically no longer care about the specific affairs of the commercial bank, and all of them are handed over to Xiao Tian, the chief treasurer of the commercial bank. At first, Xiao Tian was still a little unable to let go, and would always report to me when I went to Shifeng Commercial Bank. I don't show up, he can't find me, there are no mobile phones in this era, but things still happen every day, as the big shopkeeper of the firm, Xiao Tian can only take on this responsibility by himself.

There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people.

Of course, I'll make decisions on big things myself.

"Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, the positioning of Tongle Lou is the most senior restaurant in Lin'an City, so its customer base is mainly aimed at those noble businessmen who hold VIP cards, or some officials, and their hearts of rich people are distorted, they only choose expensive, like to compare, can not be figured out with the mentality of ordinary people, Xiao Tian's method is to make Tongle Lou's VIP card a symbol of status, I think it is a desirable method."

In the past few months, after the cultivation of me, a businessman, Fang Ling has also begun to understand a lot of business ethics. Fang Ling worshipped: "Brother, why does it make sense when something comes to your mouth?" ”

"Haha, Ling'er, let's go in and try the dishes with MSG."

There were several guys standing at the door, greeting guests with smiling faces, while checking the VIP card, most of the guys in Tongle Lou knew me, and one of the foreman looked like guys hurriedly welcomed us inside, and took us to the Tianzi No. 1 room upstairs. Since Xiao Tian joined Shifeng Commercial Bank, Tongle Building has also become the property of Shifeng Commercial Bank, and this Tianzi No. 1 room has become my exclusive private room, even when I am not open, it is not open to the public.

At this time, the first and second floors were all full, and soon, the various dishes ordered by customers were put on the table one after another.

"These dishes are no different from the previous ones, huh?" The guests shouted when they saw that the dishes served on the table were the same as before.

"Hehe, childe, miss, master, madam, you taste it first." The guys hurriedly smiled and said, "We don't smash our own signboards in Tongle Building." ”

"Then try it first, please."

"Ah, fresh."

"This vegetable is so fresh, Xiao Er, did you add a lot of broth? That's a lot of copper coins. ”

"Guest officer, look at it, this is an authentic stir-fry, and there are traces of broth there."

"Fresh, good."

"Fresh, delicious, how is this done? It's not all soaked in the broth. ”

"This VIP card is worth it."

The restaurant was full of praise.

Xiao Tian walked to the middle of the restaurant with a smile and said loudly: "Distinguished guests, you have all eaten the new dishes in this building just now, you must have felt that the taste is different, yes, it is the umami you are talking about." This is not made of some kind of broth, you see, a small bag of powder in my hand, this is called Shifeng monosodium glutamate, and the umami you eat in the dish is because of the addition of this condiment. Remember, this is called monosodium glutamate, Shifeng monosodium glutamate. From now on, we have another condiment in our food industry, in addition to sweet and sour, bitter and spicy, adding this umami, all dishes can add umami condiments in the future. In order to thank you for your long-term support to my Tongle Building, all the VIPs present tonight can get a small bag of MSG with their VIP cards, and you can put it in your own dishes after you go back, you can enjoy this umami, you can consult our store for specific usage. In addition, Xiao announced here that after three days, if you like it, you can go to Shifeng Commercial Bank or this restaurant to buy this kind of monosodium glutamate. ”

"How much copper coins does this bag cost?" A guest asked.

"A bag of MSG is always a copper coin, of course it is not this kind of pouch."

After Xiao Tian finished speaking, many voices below began to whisper.

"Consistently?"

"Is it expensive?"

"It's okay, it's so delicious, it's not expensive."

Fang Lingdao: "Brother, what do you say, has it always been expensive?" ”

"It's expensive, but in the eyes of the rich, it's worth it."

During the Song Dynasty, silver was rare, and most of it was traded in copper coins. The currency value unit of copper coins is Guan Hewen, which has always been equivalent to 1,000 Wen, and has always been equivalent to one or two taels of silver, according to some calculation methods, it has always been equivalent to today's 300 yuan.

According to the records in the Water Margin, when Yang Zhi sold knives, Niu Er said, I bought a kitchen knife for 30 Wen, and I also cut meat and tofu, which means that in the Song Dynasty, an ordinary kitchen knife was 30 Wen, which is equivalent to 9 yuan.

However, it is the same in any era, and it is the same as that of rare things, which is the unchanging criterion.

"Shopkeeper Xiao, can you hand over the right to buy and sell Fujian Road to me?" A Hokkien voice sounded.

Xiao Tian knew the speaker as Lin Zhixiong, a leading figure in Fujian's business community, who had a wide range of industries and a sizable ocean-going fleet. Xiao Tian didn't dare to be too lazy, and hugged his fists and said: "Shopkeeper Lin, this matter needs to be discussed later, the MSG workshop of my firm will take about a month to be completed, and it is estimated that by mid-May, it will be able to be produced in batches, and then I will be the first to come to the shopkeeper Lin to discuss cooperation." ”

Lin Zhixiong smiled: "Brother Xiao, what you say counts." ”

"Brother Lin, you watched your little brother grow up, how could your little brother lie to your brother?"

"Shopkeeper Xiao, who do you want on Guangdong Road?" Another said.

"Xiao Gongzi, can Jiangxi Road give us Kangyong Commercial Bank?"

"Of course, Jiangxi Road should give us Shengquan Commercial Bank, you Kangyong don't have this strength."

"Nonsense, you don't have the strength to win the whole thing." ……

"Brother, it's very lively."

"Yes, it seems that these people have smelled business opportunities, and Xiao Tian's new product launch conference is a success."

Xiao Tian saw that the scene was a little chaotic, and hurriedly said: "Everyone, distinguished guests, pause, pause, calm down, and listen to Xiao's words." Today, everyone just enjoy the dishes in this building, not to discuss anything else, about the right to buy and sell in various places, Xiao will ask the big proprietor of the Shifeng Commercial Bank for instructions, and hold a meeting in the Shifeng Commercial Bank in late April, when our commercial bank will issue an invitation letter to the shopkeeper, Xiao promises that this matter will be carried out openly, fairly and justly, everyone can rest assured. ”

Lin Zhixiong laughed and said: "Brother Xiao, if you are really young and promising, these words of the three princes are really the king of business and incisive." ”

"Brother Lin, you have won the prize, this is not what the younger brother said."

"Is it the old shopkeeper's words?"

"Brother, it's not my father's words, it's what my younger brother's owner says."

"Is that the owner of the Lion Peak Trading House?"

I sat in the imperial study, reminiscing about the dishes with MSG. It's been almost half a year, and I finally tasted the umami of MSG, which I've been used to for a long time.

"You can't eat too much monosodium glutamate, like table salt, there are too many additives in it, you know?"

"But a dish without MSG is not delicious at all."

"Why, if you are disobedient, you still dare to talk back to this palace?" Le Lingshan said angrily.

"How dare you, wife." I hurriedly apologized.

"That's good." Le Lingshan turned his anger into joy.

I'm not a very expressive person, I remember once watching a movie about a foreign emperor who doesn't love the country and loves beauty, I said to Le Lingshan, as long as I am with her, even if I am the emperor, I don't want to.

I have lived an imperial life without MSG for half a year, alas, as long as Le Lingshan can return to me, even if he does not eat MSG for the rest of his life and does not become an emperor, what does it matter.

Lingshan, where are you, are you okay?
