I asked her how she was talking, and she said to me with a dejected face: "People say I don't have experience and don't want me, and they say they don't want vases here...... He even said that I was a vase, which was so hateful. ”

I smiled and said, "Shouldn't you be happy that others are complimenting you?" ”

"I'm happy, I feel useless, I can't even find a job as a salesperson."

Seeing Huang Li so depressed, and then looking at the photography studio opposite, I suddenly had an idea.

Instead, I said to Huang Li, "Why don't you go to the other side to try it?" ”

Huang Li followed my gaze to the photography studio across the street, and suddenly said helplessly: "Can you stop joking with me, is this comparable?" ”

"Why is there no comparison? is also doing photography, isn't it all about technology? ”

Huang Li snorted coldly: "Do you think he has a business?" ”

"You wait for me here, I'll go talk to him."

"Are you really?"

"Anyway, being idle is idle, don't you want to go to the opposite store to become a sales god and make the person who rejected you just regret it?"

Huang Li smiled bitterly: "I want to think, but the problem is not that I can do what I want!" ”

"You'll be waiting for me right here."

With that, I walked to the photo gallery across the street.

Seeing that a guest was coming, the man sitting at the door hurriedly threw away his cigarette butt and stood up, and asked me enthusiastically, "Do you want to take pictures?" ”

I smiled and asked him, "Dude, it doesn't seem like your business is as good as the other side!" ”

Hearing my words, he instantly lost his joy, and replied coldly: "Then you can go to the other side by yourself." ”

With that, he sat back down on the bench in the doorway.

I saw that his eyes were full of bloodshots, and his expression was a little decadent, presumably this kind of thing has not happened once or twice.

I didn't stop, I walked up to him again and said to him, "Dude, I'm not hostile, I'm just just passing by, can I borrow a fire?" ”

As I spoke, I took out a cigarette and handed him one by the way.

He took out his lighter and handed it to me, I lit a cigarette, took a puff before I spoke: "There is no bad business in the world, and if you think about it, you can still come back to life...... I see that you have been in this store for a long time, and if you don't work technically, you will definitely not be able to open it for so long. ”

He took a puff of his cigarette and said to me with a wry smile: "You see how good the business of the photo studio across the street is, how can it be brought back to life?" I'm all out of business, I'm ready to close. ”

I continued to be relieved: "When doing business, there must be competitors, and all walks of life are the same. ”

He sneered again, shook his head and said, "No, the service is better than mine, and the decoration is better than mine, what else can I do?" ”

"What about technology? If you really feel that there is no place like the other one, then I advise you to close the door. ”

When it came to technology, he was not happy, and immediately replied: "If you don't have the technology, let me tell you, the owner of the shop opposite is my apprentice." ”

"What?" I looked at him in surprise.

He nodded seriously and said, "You don't believe it! Let me tell you, he came to me a few years ago to learn photography, and there were two other people who came with him, and he was the worst technically, but he was a very ambitious person and could please people...... After a long time, I fooled the customers who used to be here with me. ”

"Isn't it? Is it so moldy? And he's still running a shop across from you, is there such an apprentice? ”

The shopkeeper was very discouraged and said: "I don't want to recognize him as an apprentice, this is really a typical example of teaching apprentices to starve to death to master, this kid has never known how to be grateful, he always thinks that I was strict when I taught him, and later when he went out to open a shop, he said that I regretted it......"

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly, picked up the cigarette and took a hard puff, and continued: "Yes, I do regret it, I regret taking him on the road." ”

After listening to what he said, I felt sympathy in my heart.

In any case, I have a lot of respect for the teacher who taught me, which is also the minimum morality of a person.

But this is the first time I've seen someone like his apprentice.

Based on this, I decided to help him, if nothing else, just fight for him.

I beckoned Huang Li over, and then introduced him: "Dude, this is my friend, I went to the photo studio opposite just now to apply for sales and was rejected." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Huang Li grabbed me and glared at me fiercely.

The buddy sneered: "Normal, as long as they have experience, the salary is quite high, right?" ”

"It's quite high, the basic salary alone is 4,000 yuan."

"Let me tell you this, the photographer assistants in their store can get five or six thousand yuan in salary, which is impossible in our entire industry."

"I don't think their service is very good!" Huang Li said, I just went in and didn't even have a glass of water.

"That's because you're there to apply, they don't have to be so nice to you." I chimed in.

Huang Li immediately glanced at me again, it is undeniable that the service on the other side is indeed very good, I just saw that there is a fruit plate, melon seeds and peanut drink preparation, and even a massage chair for guests to rest.

Service is very important in business, which is one of the reasons why the opposite business can be so good.

Of course, if you want to imitate, you must go backwards, even if the business can be better, it is impossible to surpass.

But if you want to change the status quo, the service and decoration must naturally be improved, and you must have your own style.

After a short moment of contemplation, I said to him, "Dude, shall I give you a tip?" Would you like to try it? ”

He raised his head and looked at me with some surprise, and only after a while did he speak: "Don't be kidding, is it possible for my current situation to change?" ”

"Of course, let me ask you first, how long have you been here?"

"I came here at twenty-three to set up shop, and now I'm thirty."

"It's been seven years, and I'm sure this street must have a lot of traffic, and your previous business should be very good, right?"

"Yes, at that time, I could earn 30,000 or 40,000 yuan a month, and sometimes sixty or seventy thousand yuan was possible."

"Then you must have made a lot of money over the years, right?"

He laughed miserably again: "Don't mention it, if I had money, I would have changed places a long time ago." ”

"Can't you? It's been seven years, and you can't have no savings at all, right? ”

"You don't know anything about my family, my dad is a gambler, he lost all the money in the family, I almost compensated him, and my mother was also angry with him and went to the hospital."

I sighed in my heart and said, "Are you married?" ”

"No, I used to be busy with work, and I didn't have time to fall in love, and now it's hard to talk about it when I'm older, everyone wants a house and a car, and I'm going to break Chang'an now."

I glanced at a white Chang'an car parked on the side of the road, it was indeed very old.

In any case, he is also a filial son, and when his father lost the gamble, he did not ignore it, but used all his savings to repay it.

This alone is worthy of my admiration.

I reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, brother, there are still many possibilities in life, you don't need to invest much more in the store, you just need to renovate it a little...... The most important thing is to change the model, and now to do business, the model is very important. ”

"What mode?" He asked me curiously.
