The voice filled his ears, and Li Chuan was taken aback.

His eyes widened and he looked at the waiters on either side.

The sound of "Brother Sen is good" was shouted from the mouths of these eight waiters.

'What's the situation?' ’

Li Chuan was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Brother Yang in front of him.

At first, he thought that "welcoming in a line" was the hallmark of a hot pot restaurant, and that every customer could be treated the same.

But a "Brother Sen is good" made him understand that this is not the case at all.

This is not a feature at all, but a pomp specially made by Brother Xiao Yang and his brothers in order to welcome him.

As for how to do it, he also had a trace of speculation in his heart.

When he was at the exit of the station before, Brother Xiao Yang said that he was going to call and ask the store to prepare...... This "preparation" is likely to refer to the current scene.

"Did you do that?" Li Chuan stared at Brother Xiao Yang closely, and his face was a little ugly.

"Hehe, Brother Sen, what do you think?" Brother Xiao Yang replied with a hippie smile.

This gesture is equivalent to acknowledging.

"You ......"

Li Chuan looked around and found that the two tables of customers in the store were looking at him in unison...... Seeing this, his face became even more ugly.

"Who did you learn this nonsense from!" Li Chuan scolded Brother Xiao Yang angrily.

"I ......"

Seeing that Li Chuan was angry, Brother Xiao Yang was a little confused, and at a loss, he turned his head to look at Brother Yang next to him.

Brother Da Yang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Sen, we ......"

"Hurry up and let them disperse!"

Li Chuan didn't give Brother Yang a chance to speak, and directly interrupted: "You guys don't feel ashamed, I'm still ashamed!" ”

"Oh...... Oh. ”

Brother Da Yang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ordered the attendants around him: "Quick, you are all busy with your own going, don't stand here......"

With Brother Yang's order, the eight waiters ran away.

After doing all this, Brother Da Yang came to Li Chuan again and apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Sen, we ......"

"Alright, let's go first...... Where's the room? ”

"Well, here, come with me."

“……”

Li Chuan is not really ashamed, he is mainly afraid of being photographed by others and posted on the Internet.

With his current fame, status, and ability to make money, there are many people who are angry with him, and whenever he makes a little negative news, he may be hyped up, which will cause a crisis of public opinion.

Lined up to welcome and shouted in unison, the visual impact is still very strong.

If netizens see him engaging in this kind of pomp, the consequences are unimaginable.

Although there are not many customers in the hot pot restaurant at the moment, he just saw a young girl take out her mobile phone and prepare to record it.

That's why he's angry.

However, he wasn't really angry.

He did it, mainly for the show.

What to perform?

He was disgusted by this kind of pomp and circumstance.

This can be regarded as a remedy, as long as he shows that he is disgusted with this kind of pomp, even if he is photographed and posted on the Internet, it will not set off too much of a public opinion crisis.

It was with this in mind that he deliberately raised his voice and fired a fire at Brother Xiao Yang and the brothers.

As for "shame" or something, it's just an excuse he made up casually.

In fact, he is not ashamed of it.

This is not the first time he has experienced such a thing as "lining up to welcome".

If he feels ashamed every time, then his face is too thin.

Don't forget, he's an influencer.

As an Internet celebrity, the first thing to do is to be thick-skinned.

If you see someone or encounter something, you feel blushing, embarrassed, and can't overcome it, it's not suitable to be an Internet celebrity at all.

For Internet celebrities, you can create a "social fear" character for yourself to attract traffic, but you can't really be social fear, because real social fear can't create the effect of the show.

Without the show, no one will watch your video or live broadcast.

Unless, you have a specialty in some aspects, such as you are very beautiful, have a particularly good body, or sing very well, dance very energetically, or have a particularly high game technique, a particularly good sense of network and hot spot awareness, etc...... If you don't have these specialties and you're still a social terrorist, then don't be an Internet celebrity, and you have no future if you do it.

The area of the hot pot restaurant is not small, with two floors up and down, adding up to four or five hundred square meters, the decoration is not luxurious, but it is very stylish, and it seems that it has spent a lot of money.

Li Chuan observed as he walked, but he didn't say anything.

Under the guidance of Brother Xiao Yang and his brothers, he came to the largest private room on the second floor and sat down.

"Drink tea, Brother Sen."

Brother Yang poured Li Chuan a cup of tea, then sat down and said, "I'm really sorry just now, we ......"

"Okay, don't talk about it, I'm not angry."

"Huh?"

Brother Da Yang was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Brother Xiao Yang, and both of them showed a trace of doubt on their faces.

Seeing this, Li Chuan did not rush to explain.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before slowly speaking, "I know you want to welcome me, but your way is wrong. ”

"This ......"

Brother Xiao Yang and Brother Da Yang were even more puzzled.

This understanding needs to be improved. ’

Li Chuan shook his head helplessly and explained, "I am no longer than before...... In the past, I could go to bars with you, have a drink, dance or something, but now I can't, if I show up in that kind of place, I'm likely to be photographed and posted online, and then a lot of people will scold me...... It's the same today, there are still people in the hot pot restaurant, what are you doing to welcome and shout, if this is filmed and posted on the Internet, what do you think will happen? ”

As soon as these words came out, Brother Xiao Yang and Brother Da Yang instantly understood.

"I'm sorry, Brother Sen."

Brother Xiao Yang blamed himself a little: "I didn't think about it so much just now, and I caused you trouble." ”

Brother Da Yang thought more, and asked with a worried face, "Did they shoot just now?" ”

"Yes, I saw it, at the table inside, a little girl was taking pictures with her mobile phone."

Brother Da Yang was shocked, stood up from the chair suddenly, and said, "I'll go find her!" ”

After that, he was about to leave the private room.

"No, you don't."

Li Chuan stopped Brother Da Yang and said, "Didn't I act in a section just now, and she didn't shoot anything." ”

"Oh."

Brother Yang's face was abrupt, but he was still a little worried: "Then will she edit maliciously?" It's just to keep the front and delete the back......"

"No, it won't."

Li Chuan shook his head and smiled: "Normal people don't do this, it's easy to get into trouble, unless it's a more extreme black fan...... However, I shouldn't be so lucky, and any person I meet is an extreme black fan...... Moreover, even if she really edited maliciously, I have a way to clarify, will there be surveillance in front of your store soon? ”

"There is surveillance, but ...... If it happens, it's quite a hassle to deal with. ”

Brother Da Yang was still a little uneasy and said, "Why don't you ...... I'll go down and talk to her. ”

"There's no need."

Li Chuan felt that Brother Yang was a little too cautious, and immediately educated: "It's nothing, if you go down and say it specifically, people may take it seriously, this is called three hundred taels of silver here, just to make trouble for yourself." ”

"Ugh."

"Sit down, don't toss."

Brother Da Yang sat down as he said, and then said with a hint of guilt: "Brother Sen, I'm really embarrassed to ......."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, hurry up and eat, I'm hungry."

"Oh, good."

“……”

Brother Xiao Yang and his brothers gave Li Chuan's store the highest standard reception, and they changed all the dishes that could be served in the store one by one, and also took out three bottles of Moutai and two bottles of royal salute.

They ate and drank at the same time, and after a few glasses of wine, the topic gradually began to talk.

"How many square meters does your hot pot restaurant have?" Li Chuan asked casually.

"Two floors combined, four hundred and seventy square meters."

"Four hundred and seventy square meters...... It's a big hot pot restaurant, right? ”

"Almost."

"I look at the location, decoration or something, it's pretty good......"

"The location is average, the location is a little off, but there is a commercial area nearby, so it is not bad; The decoration is installed in accordance with the requirements of the headquarters, our store is franchised, and the headquarters has requirements for decoration. ”

"Oh, how long have you been driving?"

"Five months."

"How much did it cost?"

"Less than two million, more than 1.8 million."

"Oh, that's not a small investment, has it been recouped?"

"It's still early, we've been doing it for five months, and we've earned less than 100,000 yuan."

"Less than 100,000?"

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows: "Is it so little?" ”

"We have been doing activities in the early stage, although the business was good at that time, but we didn't make much money, and in the later stage, the activities were reduced, and we could make money, but the business was not good again."

"Oh."

Li Chuan nodded and said, "I also saw it just now, around eight o'clock in the evening, it stands to reason that it should be the best time for business, but it turns out that there are only two or three tables of customers in your store, and the business is indeed bad enough." ”

"Who's to say it isn't."

Brother Xiao Yang couldn't help but complain: "Now the pick-up is in the single digits, there can be seven or eight tables in good times, and only one or two tables in bad times...... This amount of customer pick-up is not enough to pay even the salary, let alone the rent...... We're completely losing money right now. ”

"Think of a way."

"I've thought of a way, we've done it all to make flyers, coupons, get membership cards, send videos, etc., but it's useless, good business lasts for two or three days at most, and when the enthusiasm passes, it will change back to the original."

"Have you analyzed what the reason is?"

"After analyzing it, at first, we thought it might be a problem with the taste......"

"The taste is fine."

Li Chuan pointed with chopsticks and said, "I'm eating well." ”

"Yes, I also think the taste is okay, we chose to join this store in the first place, just because of the taste......"

"Then why are you still suspicious?"

"Analysis, business is not good, I don't know what to do, just analyze it blindly."

"What about the results of the analysis?"

"The result of the analysis may be...... Although the taste of hot pot is good, it is not suitable for the local. ”

"Why do you think so?"

"Because we are Sichuan-style hot pot, it may be ...... in Anhui Province"

"That doesn't exist."

Li Chuan shook his head and said: "Sichuan-style hot pot can be eaten all over the world, Haidilao is an example, how can it not be in Anhui Province." ”

"Well, we definitely can't compare with Haidilao."

"How can it not be compared?"

"How famous Haidilao is, not many people know about us."

"Is this the only reason?"

"What's more, the quality of Haidilao's service is too good for us to do."

"Hmm."

Li Chuan nodded and didn't say anything more.

Brother Da Yang glanced at Li Chuan, and said, "We have also analyzed other reasons, such as the location ......."

"It's just that there's something wrong with the lot!"

Brother Xiao Yang suddenly interjected: "At the beginning, I said that I would choose the one in the city center, you don't listen, you have to rent here, the flow of people here is too poor, and many of them are fixed residents, after a long time, they are naturally reluctant to come." ”

"You agreed to rent this place at the time, what's the use of saying this now?" Brother Yang said with some annoyance.

"It's useless, I also want to say, I should have chosen the one in the city center in the first place!"

"The one in the city center, the annual rent is more than one million, how much does it cost to open the whole store? Don't you have any points in mind? ”

"No matter how expensive it is, you have to insist on it, the location there is good, and you can earn it back no matter how much you spend, which is like here, the money is spent less, but you can't earn it back, and you will lose it."

"Do you have that much money?"

"I can borrow it."

"You said lightweight, who did you borrow it from?"

“……”

Probably because of the drinking, the two brothers quarreled while talking.

Li Chuan saw it in his eyes, didn't say anything, and ate with his own vegetables, as if he didn't hear anything.

However, his presence still affected the Xiao Yang brothers.

He was beside him, and Brother Xiao Yang and the brothers had some scruples, so they only quarreled for a while before stopping.

"I'm sorry, Brother Sen, I made you laugh." Brother Yang opened his mouth to apologize.

"It's fine."

Li Chuan waved his hand and said, "If you lose money in business, it is easy to break out into conflicts, this kind of thing is normal...... Quarrel and quarrel, what's the matter, anyway, you are brothers and twins, no matter how much you quarrel, you can't quarrel, if you change to an ordinary partner, you may have torn your face now. ”

"Alas~."

Brother Yang sighed helplessly and said, "I just feel that we are not suitable for catering." ”

"So what are you fit in?"

"I feel that we are still suitable for the network."

"Hmm."

Li Chuan nodded and said, "I think so too, you are indeed very suitable to be an Internet celebrity, and it is because of this that I invited you to join the company...... The video clips that you made are very good, and you can clearly see that you have a talent for this. ”

"Thank you, Brother Sen."

Brother Da Yang thanked him, and then said: "I discussed with my brother, and in the future, we will put our main energy back on the Internet." ”

"And what about this store?"

"Not anymore."

"It's decided?"

"It's decided!"

"Well, it's good to decide."

Li Chuan nodded again and said, "In my opinion, your choice is correct. ”

At this time, Brother Da Yang turned his head to look at Brother Xiao Yang again, and the brothers made eye contact.

Li Chuan noticed something strange and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The ......"

Brother Yang's face was quite entangled.

"I'll tell you."

Brother Xiao Yang adjusted his sitting posture and said, "Brother Sen, there is something, we want to ask you for a favor." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Chuan raised his eyebrows.

"We want to do live streaming."
