Chapter 150: Difficulties in Attracting Investment
In the summer of 2012, Chen Erdong's new house finally began to be renovated, and the interior design was personally designed by Lin Daqi.
Although Lin Daqi is usually not in Griffin, he will come over to help as long as he gets off work, and he also serves as the designer of the restaurant, so the restaurant still gives Lin Daqi a salary.
Lin Daqi would deposit 3,000 yuan from the two incomes every month as the money to repay Chen Erdong, Chen Erdong did not set a return deadline for him, but Lin Daqi was still quietly preparing.
Throughout the first half of the year, Griffin's business was good, with turnover basically meeting expectations, but the customer mix was not ideal, and most of them were friends and regular customers.
Chen Erdong's Weibo marketing is indispensable, and the Chinese people have entered the first year of the mobile Internet, and many people have begun to use smartphones. In the past, you still need to use a computer to read Weibo, but now you can turn on your mobile phone and swipe it.
Young people like Chen Erdong and others with high comprehensive income are even more IPHONE4, and smartphones are gradually changing people's lifestyles.
Griffin's shareholders discussed why, and at the root of it, there was a big problem in attracting investment in the business district where the restaurant is located.
The decision to rent this shop was entirely due to the investment commitment of the mall, which is a commercial complex, and the location of the Griffin belongs to the bottom of the street, and above it is a large shopping mall called Bright City.
At the beginning of the investment, the shopping mall listed almost all the well-known brands of eating, drinking, hats, bags and bags that could be seen on the market, and swore that it had "settled".
But halfway through the new year, the shopping mall is in full swing, but all the small brands that are unknown are recruited, and there are only a few so-called well-known brands.
In 2012, when the business district was not much, the brand determined the flow of people, and because of this, the business of Bright City has not been very good.
The main shopping mall can't attract people, which directly affects the bottom of the street, and even two restaurants that opened at the same time as Griffin have chosen to transfer, after all, not every one has strong network resources like Griffin.
Chen Erdong and Du Yu have negotiated with the management of the mall many times, and have also united all the merchants on the riverside street, but the mall has always replied that the big brand investment is still in progress.
What's even more infuriating is that in addition to charging high property management fees, shopping malls also charge an outrageous promotion fee.
Chen Erdong believes that this is the black-hearted method of the mall management to make money in the name of a project.
On this day, Chen Erdong and Du Yu heard that a new boss came to the investment center of the shopping mall, so they went to find him, said hello and recognized the door, and at least knew who the object was in the future.
Chen Erdong is worried, he is not sure how long the current business situation can be maintained, friends and regular customers will not be able to use this place as their own canteen every day, and the frequency of these people has also decreased recently, if the senior shopping mall does not solve the problem of attracting investment, the business in the second half of the year is really not optimistic.
The new investment boss is called Peng Dingkun, who has a fat head and big ears, and belongs to Chen Erdong's face, which he doesn't like very much, and he always feels cunning.
After the three of them met, Du Yu reported to his home, and Peng Dingkun smiled: "Yo, it turned out that the two bosses of Griffin are here, please sit down." ”
Griffin is the best business among the riverside merchants, and it is also their backbone, and it is not surprising that Patten knows Griffin. Recently, everyone has been clamoring for rights protection, and Du Yu is the president of the business association.
"Mr. Peng, let's make a long story short, now the shopping mall is in a mess, you can change the investment boss at every turn, I don't know how long you can work."
Du Yu spoke politely, and everyone complained about the shopping mall.
"Mr. Du, you're not friendly, you want me to get out of class when we meet for the first time? Hahaha! Peng Dingkun was calm and relaxed, and Chen Erdong first felt that this person was not easy to deal with.
"I don't want you to go, but I don't know if Mr. Peng has any good ways to attract investment? I don't want to talk about the old story. Du Yu is over 30 years old, and he looks more calm than Chen Erdong.
"Don't worry, Mr. Du, I'm here to help you solve the problem, haha." Patten had to end every sentence with laughter, like a man with a knife hidden in his smile.
"One more thing, from next month, we won't pay the promotion fee, because it's useless to pay, unless you come up with actual advertising for us to see."
"Don't worry, Mr. Du, if you give me two days, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation, hahaha."
In the evening, Han Qingyu came to Griffin early, wanting to control Chen Erdong's drinking. She told Chen Erdong that Lin Daqi and Gu Xiaorong quarreled again, Chen Erdong smiled, Lin Daqi really didn't come, thinking about how many times they had quarreled this year.
Since Griffin opened, Lin Daqi has been working during the day and coming to the restaurant after work, rarely accompanying Gu Xiaorong.
Gu Xiaorong usually comes to Griffin to meet him, but her house is far away from the restaurant, and she has to delay a lot of time every time she goes back and forth, and she comes too often, so she is naturally too lazy to run.
At first, Lin Daqi wanted to come to the store to help, but Griffin is not the kind of snack shop opened by a couple in distress, the kitchen front hall is fully staffed and the store manager, and the shareholders are nothing more than drinking, eating, playing with their mobile phones, and accompanying customers at night.
If he wants to come after work to relax and chat with his brothers or accompany his girlfriend, he certainly chooses the former. After all, I have been with Gu Xiaorong for several years, and I have long lost the lingering compassion in love.
More importantly, although the money was returned to the Gu family without a single point, this matter has always been a pimple in the hearts of the two, and Gu Guoli has not recognized Lin Daqi so far.
Today, Lin Daqi asked Gu Xiaorong to go to Griffin for dinner after work, Gu Xiaorong said that he was really tired of eating and wanted to change places, but Lin Daqi said that the business in the store was showing signs of decline, and he could contribute a little.
Just such a trivial matter, the two quarreled, Lin Daqi found a small shop to eat noodles alone, and Gu Xiaorong called Han Qingyu to complain a few words but disappeared.
When Lin Daqi came to the store, Han Qingyu said a few words to him and asked him to find someone to admit his mistake later, Lin Daqi responded perfunctorily, and discussed the things in the store with Chen Erdong and them.
In the chat, Du Yu mentioned Patten Dingkun, Lin Daqi said that this name sounded familiar, Chen Erdong thought that he thought of Patten Dingkun as the Englishman who was stationed in Hong Kong before, but Lin Daqi said no, it was because of the Englishman's name that he had an impression of this name.
Du Yu roughly described his body shape and appearance again, and Lin Daqi said that he should think about it. After a long while, Lin Daqi suddenly shouted, "I remember." The crowd looked at him, curiously waiting for him to say what he said next.
"Yan Zihan's husband!" Except for Chen Erdong, no one present knew who Yan Zihan was, looking at each other, Chen Erdong was drinking water, choked out, and then said with a smile: "His first love girlfriend, the person who fell into the fall of a virgin, hahaha!" ”
Lin Daqi punched Chen Erdong in the shoulder: "Next time, Lao Tzu will slap his mouth!" Chen Erdong was pained and forged, and then asked, "Why are you so clear about Yan Zihan's husband?" Still worried about others? ”
"There is a QQ group in our class, Yan Zihan is married, and the group is full of photos, as well as her husband's name, so I said that it sounds familiar, her husband seems to work in a shopping mall, so isn't this right?" Lin Daqi explained.
"This kid is not a good stubble, otherwise, if you are wronged Brother Lin, you will reminisce about the past with Yan Meinu, and first waive the promotion fee, and the current predecessor of the Gang, isn't this a good story? Hahaha" Chen Erdong glanced at Du Yu after speaking, and Du Yu was also smiling.
Lin Daqi got up and wanted to fight again, Chen Erdong immediately started running, and the two chased in circles on the billiard table outside the private room on the third floor, Han Qingyu said to Du Yu, you boys will never grow up.
