Chapter 424: The First Shot Firing

On weekend mornings, when people who came to the Huo's Group Virtual Scene Experience Hall passed by the mobile stalls near the parking lot, they found that there was an extra window for making chocolate on site.

Their signboard is very eye-catching: customers who go to the experience hall can come here with a ticket stub to exchange for a free chocolate tasting. In addition, the ticket stub can be used as a discount coupon when purchasing chocolate.

This means that customers can taste and buy a decent amount of chocolate for very little money. This is a very attractive offer for some groups of tourists, who are mainly composed of children and young people.

And for the elderly, the words "Down's Chocolate Company" immediately make them fall into childhood memories as soon as they come into view. Because most of their generation ate this brand of chocolate when they were young.

"Hey, lo and behold! It's actually the chocolate of the Tang family! Speaking of which, it has been years since I have tasted his chocolate. ”

"Isn't it? I thought this brand was long gone, but I didn't expect it to be there now, it's really nostalgic! ”

"When we come out of the museum, let's buy some more and try it to find out how it felt at the beginning?"

"Good! It's fun to be nostalgic once in a while......"

A few hours later, customers who had been in the morning began to leave the venue in large numbers, which meant that the chocolate booth was about to usher in its first peak of traffic.

People lined up and exchanged their ticket stubs for chocolates for tasting. When the rich sweet smell occupies their mouths, people suddenly realize that this chocolate brand, which has disappeared from the public eye for many years, is actually a step further than the taste of the past. As a result, more than two-thirds of the people who have tasted chocolate have chosen to buy some along the way.

Busy clerks quickly paste a small card on the box while checking out the customer's bill. This small card is a coupon for Tang's company's directly operated store, which says the address, telephone number and business category of the directly operated store.

"If you want to taste a more colorful and sweet taste, welcome to visit the Tang Chocolate Company store!"

The above is the only advertising phrase on the small card, and many people didn't understand until they saw this card that Tang's company still had such a directly-operated store. Little did they know that just a few days ago, the store was about to close. And all of this was reversed after Gu Nanyin appeared.

The promotional booth of the experience hall has made the business of the directly operated store improve rapidly. Because the big guys don't want to waste the coupons in their hands, they also want to taste the quality of Tang's other flavors of chocolate.

With excellent product quality, the name of Tang's Chocolate Company has spread among the citizens of City A. If you catch up with the peak period of rest days, the directly managed stores can even reach overcrowded traffic. In just two weeks, the company's profits reached the combined profits of the previous months. And their sales are still growing rapidly.

Sitting in the office, Tang Haotian listened to the accountant report his accounts, not to mention how happy he was. He sat in the brand new boss's chair, and the whole person was like a dream. He began to dream and fantasize, and dreamed of opening directly operated stores to every corner of the region; fantasized that one day, he could lead the company back to the top and give a perfect explanation to his deceased father.

"Dad, my son did it! Tang's Company is finally back at the top of the local confectionery industry! We're never going to be slaughtered again! Never again......"

Just when Tang Haotian was immersed in fantasy with his eyes closed, a sharp question suddenly broke into his eardrums.

"Mr. Tang, is it time to sleep during the day?"

Hearing this, Tang Haotian woke up in an instant. In his still slightly blurred gaze, he saw Gu Nanyin's expressionless and solemn face.

"I'm sorry Mr. Gu! I've been staying up a bit too late these days, so I'm ...... I was a little confused. Of course, this is a mistake that should never be made during working hours! Please criticize me harshly! ”

Gu Nanyin sighed, waved his hand and motioned for Tang Haotian to sit down and talk slowly with himself.

"I know you've had a hard time during this time, but as the head of the company, you must no longer show any signs of slacking off in front of your subordinates. Because if you slack off, they will choose to slack off from the bottom of their hearts. The company's business has just improved, don't be carried away by this small achievement in front of you. Don't forget that this is only a small step compared to your ambitions. ”

Tang Haotian lowered his head slightly with self-reproach: "I know!" As the chairman of the company, I owe it to my colleagues to set an example. I promise, this is the last time I get this kind of error. If ......"

"You won't have ifs." Gu Nanyin skillfully used the form of answering stubble to cheer Tang Haotian up: "I believe that you will learn a lesson in the future and become a more qualified company leader." ”

Hearing Gu Nanyin encourage himself so much, Tang Hao was naively moved to the ground. Now, he can pour a good cup of tea for the other party. Because from tea sets to tea leaves, he spent money to buy new ones. The old tea set has been collected by Tang Haotian as a special commemoration of the company's low period.

Gu Nanyin took a sip of tea and did not turn the topic directly to business. She looked at Tang Haotian and asked in a very calm tone, "I heard that your wife also worked in this factory before, so where is she now?" ”

Tang Haotian didn't expect Gu Nanyin to suddenly ask himself this question, he paused slightly, and replied in a helpless and open-minded tone: "Yes, she not only worked here before, but also my most powerful assistant. I basically have to discuss the big and small affairs of the company. ”

"That sounds great." Gu Nanyin nodded appreciatively.

Tang Haotian sighed and continued: "But after the company's crisis broke out, my temper became more and more irritable and decadent. She tried to persuade me many times to cheer up, but I didn't have the heart to listen to her anymore. So, she completely despaired of me, and left home and never returned. ”

"I see...... Have you tried to find her? ”

"Nope. Actually, I know where she is now, but I don't have the face to pick her up until the company is revitalized. Tang Haotian smiled slightly wryly and hooked the corners of his mouth: "She has waited for me long enough, even if she really chooses to leave now, I will not have any complaints." After all, I was the one who let her down in the first place. Therefore, this responsibility should be borne on my shoulders. ”

Gu Nanyin sighed: "Mr. Tang, in fact, the pressure of public opinion she is facing is definitely not much smaller than yours." So, not only do you have to take responsibility, but you also have to treat her well for the rest of your life! ”
