Chapter 117: Lin Zhinuo's Upcoming Cowherd Career (2)
Overhead, a matrix of laser lights swayed, drawing a trail of light in the dark-toned bar space, focusing on a middle-aged man in a top hat standing on the stage in the middle of the bar, he leaned back slightly, his eyes closed and blowing the saxophone, the whole band had stopped playing, leaving only the long, lingering, graceful and melodious saxophone tones echoing in the bar, like a wilderness dusk that no one knew.....
However, most people didn't pay attention to the saxophonist, who was supposed to be the focus, and all looked in the direction of the bar.
Because where stood Lin Zhinuo.
Where he stood seemed to be a fantasy at his fingertips, the colorful trademark stickers shining in the entire towering wine wall behind him, the different shades of wine set off his flawless whiteness, and the lights layered on the glass, smearing on the edge of Lin Zhinuo's body, looking cold and quiet.
Like a glacier in the sun.
The dazzling light made it impossible for anyone to take their eyes off it.
Big eyes looked at Lin Zhinuo who was performing fancy bartending at the bar, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face, in the first week after Lin Zhinuo came back, Yinyan's turnover returned to its peak, attracting countless women to spend a lot of money for him, ordering more than 80,000 Louis XIII was like ordering a glass of boiled water, and just to hear Lin Zhinuo say "thank you" to them.....
Not seeing it with his own eyes, Big-eyed Wenzhen couldn't believe that these seemingly mature older young women would be so crazy.
Gao Yuemei resisted the urge to rush up and ask Lin Zhinuo why he didn't contact her when he came back, and her heart was also full of doubts: "Is he really a liar? Then why didn't my sister-in-law call the police? and allowed him to return to Yinyan? What did he come back for?" At this moment, Gao Yuemei had too many questions to ask Lin Zhinuo, but she didn't know how to speak, she took her eyes off Lin Zhinuo, turned her head to the big-eyed Wen and said, "Manager Wen, the location I booked is ....."
Big Yanwen hurriedly bowed and made a gesture of please, "Miss Gao, this way!"
After speaking, the big eyes straightened up and took the lead towards a booth near the bar, which should be the most moderate distance from the circular stage in the middle, and the booth by the window is the best, where you can not only browse the bustling street scene along the road, watch the river of cars and the sea of people flowing under your nose, but also enjoy the band's performance from a perfect angle.
But because of Lin Zhinuo's existence, the location of the bar is the most sought-after now, followed by the booths near the bar, which are booked out early every day, not to mention that today is the weekend. Of course, Big Eyes Wen knew what Gao Yuemei was here for, and deliberately left the most golden position to her, and this card seat closest to Lin Zhinuo was usually to grab the head.
The decoration of Yinyan is not a traditional bar style, it is more homely, so the booth is not closed, only separated by transparent light gauze, curtain-like crystal lamps surround the booth, and the purple velvet sofa is sandwiched between a rectangular black marble coffee table, and a delicate silver candelabra-style table lamp is placed on it.
It doesn't look like a bar at all, but rather like a corner of the living room of a tasteful and elegant lady.
When Gao Yuemei and Shen Youyi walked into the booth under the leadership of Big Eye, the women at the two tables next to them were looking at the two of them with a hostile gaze, which made Gao Yuemei and Shen Youyi a little baffled.
There were already four bottles of Louis XIII on the coffee table, and Dayanwen handed the wine list and snack list to Gao Yuemei, and whispered at the same time: "Miss Gao, it doesn't matter if you don't want to drink Louis XIII, these four bottles are the ones I put on the scene..... Generally speaking, we don't stay in this booth past nine o'clock, if I don't arrange it like this, some regular customers next to me will make a noise to death..."
Gao Yuemei looked around, all the seats were occupied, but the whole Yinyan did not seem crowded, it was not as lively as she saw when she came to Yinyan before, Gao Yuemei reached out and stroked the black hip leather skirt and sat on the sofa, and asked a little suspiciously: "Is Yinyan's business so good now?
Big eyes said proudly: "Don't say it, it seems that our voice is not as lively as before, but now the turnover is much higher than before, after Lin Zhinuo came back, he changed our marketing strategy here, I used to go to solicit customers every day, and now the guests are begging me to give me a seat....."
Gao Yuemei heard that Lin Zhinuo had changed her marketing strategy, and immediately asked with some curiosity: "Hmm? What's going on? Could it be that he still has a little ability to turn stone into gold?"
"Really, since last weekend, we only accept reservations for seats here, and men who have not booked will not be accepted, if it is a woman, you can queue up, but there may not be a place, it really doesn't get it, then I'm sorry, please book it in advance tomorrow!"
After a pause, Big Eyes said word by word: "Lin Zhinuo calls this screening accurate target customers.... Anyway, they are all doing a set of things for cultural people, and I completely understand that they can't. ”
Gao Yuemei asked with some surprise: "Ah? Does that mean that Yinyan only accepts reservations now?"
"Isn't this a membership system, and there's nothing special, right?" Shen Youyi said, holding his chin.
Big Yanwen smiled and shook his fingers, "It's awesome here, it's all about money in other places, and if you rush more, you'll let you in, but our Yinyan is now a bar with a strong qualification! Individual customers are also accepted, but you have to fill out the questionnaire ....."
"Questionnaire?" Even Shen Youyi was a little surprised.
Big Eyes nodded, "These are the rules set by Lin Zhinuo, there were often things to grab seats last week, especially at the bar, you don't know how crazy those women are, we just came over to clean up at half past seven, they just sat motionless at the bar, and they didn't drink much, just waiting for Lin Zhinuo to go to work.... We still occasionally have some old drinkers here, purely just appreciate Lin Zhinuo's bartending level, but every time I come to sit in the seat, put forward two opinions, Lin Zhinuo said that it must be reformed, I asked the proprietress about it, and the proprietress said that everything is up to Lin Zhinuo..... So Lin Zhinuo set up a lot of rules, if you want to sit at the bar, you must fill out a questionnaire, saying what the questionnaire is, which is actually an exam, and it not only has cocktail knowledge, but also mixed with questions about things, literature and music..... It's hard to say it's a horse that's ever done...."
Speaking of "difficult horses", Big Eyeman coughed, feeling that he shouldn't say such vulgar words in front of two such beautiful ladies, and paused before continuing: "It's always a book of heaven for me, and I can't understand it..... Now if you want to sit at the bar, you must make the roll more than 90 points.... If you don't have a reservation, you can also try to answer the questionnaire if you want to come in, and you can get in if you can answer 90 points or more..... Those who can answer the perfect score will be able to drink a free night of wine in our Yinyan...."
This kind of marketing planning is very innovative, but it must be a case where Yinyan is very attractive, in terms of Yinyan's previous business conditions, it is too risky to engage in such rules, of course, judging from the expression of the big eyes, it is very successful, which also proves that Lin Zhinuo is an extremely intelligent and decisive person, Gao Yuemei couldn't help but sigh: "This is okay?"
The sister-in-law of the proprietress asked the big eye, and naturally knew everything, "Of course, there was some impact in the first two days, and I felt that the bar was gone, but the turnover was not less, and the strange thing was that there were more and more calls in the back, and there were people who came to make rolls..... And then somehow, our turnover here has also increased ....."
Shen Youyi also thought it was quite interesting, and asked with interest: "That means if you want to drink in your voice, you still have to pass the exam?"
Big-eyed Wen said triumphantly: "Of course, it is the only one in the country, and the volume published by Lin Zhinuo the day before yesterday was also on the hot search on Weibo..... Many people say that a boy who can get a full score in this roll can marry directly without looking at his appearance, and a girl who can get a full score can marry directly without looking at his appearance..... Because he (she) must be a student with a lot of interest in life! Our Lin Zhinuo also followed the hot search.... Now many reporters want to interview him, but he doesn't accept it, and there are film and television companies and modeling companies that contact him, but he doesn't pay attention...."
Then he glanced at the woman at the table next to him, lowered his head and whispered: "See, the table next door is from Shonan Satellite TV, and the short and fat woman sitting in the middle is the producer of the "Good Upward" program group, and every time she comes to buy at least two bottles of Louis XIII at Lin Zhinuo's place, she told me several times that she can hold Lin Zhinuo red and ask Lin Zhinuo to contact her, but Lin Zhinuo doesn't pay attention to ..... at all."
"Why? Isn't being a celebrity more profitable than being a bartender?" Gao Yuemei asked pretending not to care, in fact, she really wanted to turn her head to see Lin Zhinuo, but she deliberately chose to sit with her back to Lin Zhinuo, and now she turned her head It was really embarrassing, so she could only suppress the impulse in her heart.
"That's what I told him! I said that it's a pity to succumb to our bar with your talent, although the proprietress also values you, but it's better to be a star to make money faster! Look at that XX Bing, XX Gang, one by one, tax evasion is tens of millions, with your appearance, it is unreasonable not to be popular!" However, Lin Zhinuo said that when a star is too boring, his life is to never follow the trend, go against others, go beyond low-level tastes, and capture the unique beauty of the world...... Therefore, it is enough money, too much, but a burden..."
Seeing that Gao Yuemei and Shen Youyi's expressions were a little strangely silent, Big Eyes smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "A layman like me can't feel the burden.... I wish I had a lot of money to crush me....."
Lin Zhinuo's words inexplicably entered Gao Yuemei's heart, although she is actually a casual and comfortable person, but she especially admires the kind of maverick strongman, she glanced at the four bottles of Louis XIII on the coffee table, handed the wine list to the big eye and said: "Then let's .....go with Louis XIII! Snacks you look at the arrangement..."
After speaking, Gao Yuemei handed the menu to Shen Youyi again, "What to eat, you can order it." ”
Shen Youyi waved his hand, "I don't care, you let Manager Wen watch the arrangement!, but can you trouble Manager Wen to bring a copy of the questionnaire from Lin Zhinuo?"
Big Eyed Wen was not surprised by Shen Youyi's request, nodded and smiled: "No problem..... But Miss Shen, don't be frustrated if you can't do it, in fact, there are very few people who can answer 90 points, many people only answer 80 points, and Lin Zhinuo also sentenced 90 points....."
Shen Youyi smiled, "I'm just curious to take a look, and I must answer!"
Dayan Wen nodded, got up with the wine list and menu, and said to Gao Yuemei: "Miss Gao, there is no need to buy four bottles of Louis XIII, you two can't finish drinking it, why don't you open one bottle first!"
Gao Yuemei said: "Just four bottles, if you can't finish drinking it, save it here!"
Big Eyen didn't persuade much, and replied: "That's good." "Just about to leave,
Gao Yuemei hesitated for a moment, but still shouted: "That.... Manager Wen.... Of my four bottles of wine, two bottles are counted on Lin Zhinuo...."
Big Eyed Wen winked at Gao Yuemei, "Four bottles are counted as his!
——————————————
Cheng Mo stood in the bar bar, since the adoption of the rules of answering questionnaires to screen drinkers, he has been much more relaxed, he doesn't have to face the eyes of those who want to strip off all his clothes every day, and now the people who can sit in front of the bar are all high-level drinkers, and they really like cocktails, but most of them are men.
Cheng Mo originally thought that the tip he would give him would be much less, but fortunately he didn't care about that tip now.
But unexpectedly, these men are also very generous, and for them, it is also rare to find such a good bar with a high style, many beautiful women, and mellow wine in Star City.
The people who can answer Cheng Mo's questionnaire are all gold-collar people, with an annual salary of more than one million, and they even feel that with Cheng Mo's bartending level, the price of wine is too cheap, and they have suggested that Cheng Mo increase the price of wine several times, and they are afraid that Yinyan will not be able to continue to operate, and Cheng Mo will not continue to work as a bartender here.
After Cheng Mo refused to raise the price, he consciously gave a lot of tips every time, and often brought guests over, and the guests were also very high-level people, including many foreign executives of foreign companies, and even these foreign guests were full of praise for Cheng Mo's cocktails, and even several people suggested that Cheng Mo participate in the world-class bartending master competition.
Cheng Mo naturally laughed and said that he was just a part-time job, and at this moment Cheng Mo was helping a white-haired white foreigner named Davis transfer Martini, this old man has to come every day since he was brought by others once, and in order to sit at the bar, he specially troubled his secretary to translate all the questionnaires into English, and did it all in person, and after doing it, he had to praise Cheng Mo's roll was really great.
In fact, now being able to sit in front of the bar and drink has become a kind of honor, this glory is more high-end than pure money, but a sense of superiority from IQ and taste, because Cheng Mo's rolls are too wide, although they are all cultural and entertainment, but the knowledge points are quite niche, and there is no level that really can't be answered.
And those who can answer, sit in front of the bar together, and easily chat together, and several people have become drinking friends because of this, which Cheng Mo never expected.
Cheng Mo usually doesn't talk much, but he doesn't mind chatting with these people who are not only wise but also very experienced in life, so he is chatting with Davis about the Huami economy and why the trade friction between the two countries is so sharp.
At this time, Dayanwen arranged Gao Yuemei and Shen Youyi, ran to the side of the bar, shouted "Arnold", and then glanced at Cheng Mo and told him to come closer.
Cheng Mo first unhurriedly adjusted Davis's Martini, and after putting it in front of Davis, he walked to the side of the bar and asked, "What's wrong?"
Big Eyes said excitedly: "Miss Gao is here!"
"Yes! I see it. Cheng Mo replied nonchalantly.
"Damn! Obviously, Miss Gao is here for you, she hasn't been here once when you're not in Yinyan, such a good girl really don't miss it! Don't think she's a rich daughter! His brother was not a rich man back then, and he had no concept of these things, when I went to Brother Gao's house to drink in the early years, their family still lived in a small flat floor! As long as you can be the boss's wife, I tell you that there is a real chance..... I think the proprietress actually values you a lot.... The only drawback is that the age is a little inappropriate, but the female junior holds the gold brick, Miss Gao, this is not just a gold brick, it is a gold mine!"
Cheng Mo nodded, "Okay, I see." ”
Dayanwen raised his middle finger at Cheng Mo and said, "Damn, you kid, don't listen to the old man's words and suffer in front of you!"
"Brother Wen, I know what to do, I went to bartending first, and I still have a lot of orders in my hand!"
Big Eyes said helplessly: "What's the importance of the list?
Cheng Mo shook his head.
Seeing Cheng Mo's indifferent expression, Big-eyed Wen said helplessly: "They also asked for your questionnaire, remember to put down the water when you wait for the next score.... Don't let them get through ....."
Cheng Mo turned his head and glanced at Gao Yuemei's booth, she was facing away from him, sitting side by side with Shen Youyi, because she knew that Gao Yuemei and Shen Youyi were coming today, so today's volume focused on literature, which should be a little difficult for Gao Yuemei and the two, but with the help of Teacher Shen, it was not a big problem.
Thinking that it was usually Teacher Shen who corrected his papers, but today it was his turn to correct Teacher Shen's papers, Cheng Mo was vaguely a little excited in his heart.
