Chapter 104: Can't Open a Barber Shop

Chen Xingzheng and Hu Yamin's 'husband-and-wife' shop has not opened for three days, and Hu Yamin has been idle again for less than 20 days since he returned to her boyfriend's shop from the hospital to help him work as a shampoo.

This day is idle, so that Hu Yamin feels that every minute and every second is torment, except for the time to cook and eat outside the store, Hu Yamin just looked at the door of the store, only hoping to come in a customer, but no customer came in for three days.

Just three days ago, it was barely a few days after it opened, and only a few people came to wash their hair every day. Hair perms, hair cuts, etc., all gone.

Hu Yamin went to her boyfriend's barber shop to help after the hospital was suspended, and from the closure of the hospital on November 21 to the release of the Shengshi terminal on the 27th, it was only a week to be full, and Hu Yamin's second job in the barber shop had been deprived by Shengshi.

When Hu Yamin and her boyfriend watched the Shengshi terminal press conference, they saw the machine that could be said to help people cut their hair in an instant, and they knew that it was unlikely that their store would continue to operate.

After the press conference, Hu Yamin personally tried the effect of the hairdresser, and she did not hesitate to queue up to buy a Shengshi terminal, and by the way, she also applied the Shengshi mask, Hu Yamin felt that this Shengshi mask was simply a necessity for women.

No matter what industry you are in, whether you need makeup or not, this mask allows women to show their best self without spending any time. So although Hu Yamin didn't have a good impression of Shengshi, but was so angry that Shengshi took away her job as a nurse, and now her boyfriend's livelihood was seriously threatened by Shengshi, she still couldn't help but put a Shengshi mask on herself.

After some attempts, Hu Yamin no longer has any hope for the future of her boyfriend's barbershop.

This artificial hair cutting is not comparable to the Shengshina hair machine at all, whether it is cutting, styling or hair extension, the time spent in the first place is not of the same magnitude.

Hair cutting, artificial is based on minutes, at least ten minutes or more, Shengshi hairdresser is measured in seconds.

Hair extensions, manual is based on hours, and Shengshi hair machine only needs to be calculated in minutes. Not to mention that Shengshi Technology claims that what they take out is real hair, which is no different from what grows naturally.

The same is true for styling, not only does it take a huge difference in time, but Shengshi claims that as long as you don't change your look, you will always keep the same look.

And the price gap is also huge, the price of Shengshi hairdresser for hair treatment, the highest item is only one-tenth of the barbershop.

Shengshi hairdresser also has a huge advantage that barbershops do not have, that is, it can preview the effect. Before you cut, perm, or dye your hair, you can directly preview the effect after you finish it. Especially for hair cutting, artificial hair cutting, there is no way to describe the effect after cutting, let alone the difference between good and poor cutting.

After Hu Yamin tried it himself and understood the gap, he returned to the store and asked her boyfriend to post an advertisement for the transfer of the store. Hu Yamin only hopes to meet a person who is an afterthought to transfer the store and equipment together.

But her boyfriend still didn't agree, and Hu Yamin persuaded her for a long time before she reluctantly agreed to paste the A4 white paper advertisement she called from the typing and copying shop next to her.

In the days that followed, the number of customers dwindled, as Hu had predicted. The day after the Shengshi press conference, several college students came to the door to get a haircut. By the third day, there were no more college students or young people in their twenties and thirties, only some old men came to get a haircut, and at noon on the fourth day, a young woman in her thirties came into the shop and got a perm.

But after that, even the old man didn't come to the door.

One-stop service for customers washing, cutting, blowing, dyeing and ironing, only 'washing' and occasionally there will be petty bourgeoisie or too lazy to wash their own people to patronize, cutting, blowing, dyeing, ironing and other services have no one to patronize their business.

It didn't open for three days, which made Hu Yamin irritable, and after lunch, her boyfriend half lay down on the chair dedicated to haircuts. Hu Yamin stared at the door of the store, she had no hope that a customer would come in and patronize, and now she only prayed in her heart that someone would take over the store and recover the original transfer fee, because the location was good, it was next to the university, the equipment was new, and nothing needed to be purchased, so she and her boyfriend spent 100,000 yuan on the transfer fee to put the store down.

That's almost all the savings she and her boyfriend have, if the store can't be transferred out, and the transfer fee can't be recovered at all, then the two of them have worked hard in vain in the past few years.

Hu Yamin didn't wait for the person who came to talk about the transfer of the store, but a customer came to the door unexpectedly.

It was rare for a customer to come, Hu Yamin took out twelve points of spirit and helped him wash his hair before asking her boyfriend to get up and help him cut his hair.

The customer was accepting her boyfriend's service and chatting with him. As they chatted, the customer asked about their business.

As soon as her boyfriend started to speak, Hu Yamin was busy interrupting him. Hu Yamin knew that if he wanted her boyfriend to tell him, he would only tell the truth. At such times, they come to cut their hair, and ask about their business, maybe they are people who are going to turn their shops.

Hu Yamin took over the conversation and smiled as naturally as possible: "Business is still so-so, anyway, the two of them can always make a living, which is a little better than helping others work." ”

The customer said, "I'll just say it...... No matter what, Shengshi Technology doesn't want to rely on technology to make everyone only buy their products and only their services. …… I'm not happy to use the things of Shengshi Technology, no matter how good it is, I don't need it. …… I can't get used to their crazy ......."

Today's only customer was talking at length there, and the more Hu Yamin listened, the less interested he became, it turned out that he was just a person who was not used to Shengshi Technology, not a person she imagined to talk about the transfer of the store.

Her boyfriend was getting a haircut as he listened to the man's chatter. Listening and listening, Hu Yamin's boyfriend talked about the barbershop's business being hit by Shengshi Technology, and he had no choice but to transfer the shop.

Since the customer was just a disgruntled person who came to them for a haircut, Hu Yamin didn't bother to interrupt her boyfriend's complaints.

After cutting the head of the male customer who had the attribute of chattering, before leaving, the male customer said domineeringly: "Don't turn around, turn around, as long as you work hard, you will definitely not die." I'll come once a month and take care of your business every month. ”

Hu Yamin thanked him on his lips, and at the same time slandered in his heart, once a month, he was embarrassed to say that he was like a master, for the thirty yuan that you came to cut your hair once a month to open this shop, we must starve to death.

I don't know if Hu Yamin's prayer was heard by God or by Buddha, but on the day of December 19, someone really came to talk about the transfer of the shop. It's a pity that the man is not going to open a barbershop, but a community store for an e-commerce brand.

Although the price was extremely low, and although the rent for more than half a year could only recover 40% of the original transfer fee, Hu Yamin still convinced her boyfriend and immediately agreed to the transfer.

If you turn it, you can take it back a little, but if you don't turn it, Hu Yamin feels that she can't take it back at all, and she tied both of them to this store.

Transfer the store out, and the two can also find jobs again.

The shop was transferred, and the barber supplies in the store, except for a set of barber tools, other chairs, water heaters, and hair irons were disposed of by the two of them worthlessly to the vendors who collected waste items.

Anyway, it's impossible to open a barber shop in the future, and it's useless to keep it.

Hu Yamin and her boyfriend went to the talent market and the labor market for two days, and everywhere was crowded with people looking for jobs, and everyone seemed worried.

There are more people looking for jobs, but there are fewer jobs being recruited, and no matter what the position, no matter how much money there is, there are many people rushing to go.

Looking at this momentum, the two couldn't be optimistic.

Just when the two began to be apprehensive, Hu Yamin's boyfriend's father called the two of them, saying that the ecological agriculture company in her boyfriend's hometown was recruiting workers, and each family had allocated quotas, and those over 50 years old could not enter. My boyfriend's parents are over 50 years old, and it just so happens that their store can't be opened, so I hope the two of them go back to their hometown to work as workers.

Hu Yamin's boyfriend still knows a little about the ecological agriculture company in which his family also invests in land, and now people pay attention to ecology and green in everything they eat. Once agricultural products are labeled as ecological, they are more expensive than others.

It's better to be a farmer, the two of them thought about it for two days, and they couldn't get along in the city, so let's go home and farm!

The two returned to their boyfriend's house on December 24, and in order for Hu Yamin to sign up, the two registered their marriage on the 26th, and successfully registered, and then waited for the physical examination and training with peace of mind.

As professional new farmers, both of them feel that they can always concentrate on work in the future, get wages and dividends, and then live a peaceful and stable life.

Their anxious hearts can be regarded as letting go.
