87. New store opening
Liu Youpeng's new store was very happy, and after a period of intense renovation, he finally set a date for the opening of the store.
When I received the bronzing invitation sent by Liu Youpeng to Xiaobai, everyone was still very happy, after all, among the projects that were invested, the most direct money was this store.
Jing Sipan's fruit business, one is that my shareholding has decreased, and the other is because Jing Stepan has signed a new agreement, and he has to go to a new production line and build a warehouse or something, so although it is profitable, the capital turnover is still tight.
Moti's new drama is still being filmed intensely, this kind of fashion drama, plus two third- and fourth-tier actors, the schedule is naturally not a problem, but the expected release time is still early.
Zhao Xiaoya's project, although the company already has revenue, but the new system is launched, and then it is recruiting people or something, and there will be no dividends for a while and a half.
Only Liu Youpeng's store, which doesn't look amazing, has gone out because of the word-of-mouth, so not only do the old store customers have to queue up every day, but the news that the new store is about to open has also spread in the food circle in Longcheng.
In Longcheng, Sichuan-Hunan cuisine has always been relatively popular, but for Longcheng foodies who love to eat fresh, as long as the taste is good, although it is not spicy, there is also a stable customer base.
In addition, in recent years, there have been more and more outsiders in Dragon City, and the demand for dietary diversity has naturally emerged. Liu Youpeng, a restaurant that focuses on Shandong cuisine, meets the needs of this part.
In addition to Liu Youpeng's busy work for the new store, whether it was me or Xia Qing, including Zhao Xiaoya and Xiaobai, they did their best to spread the news of the opening of the new store through the circle of friends.
With Xiaobai's help, Liu Youpeng is not as busy as before, and in order to open the new store, Xiaobai took time to make some posters and exquisite invitations suitable for online dissemination.
Zhao Xiaoya also used her friend's relationship to invite some local media in Longcheng to report, and after sealing a lot of red envelopes to the media reporters who ran the restaurant, the reports from these media also looked very lively.
In addition to media reporters such as TV and newspapers, Zhao Xiaoya also invited many opinion leaders from the media and the local food circle through her "star system", and warmed up on Weibo, WeChat, Dianping, live broadcast platforms, etc.
For a time, Liu Youpeng's new store opened and almost became a hot topic in the small circle.
This made Liu Youpeng feel a little flustered for a while, and I asked after a few phone calls: "Brother Gao, there will be no problem with such publicity, right?" It's a new store after all! ”
"No one pays attention to others who want to publicize, but you're good, but you're afraid that you won't be able to publicize it? Rest assured! ”
I didn't expect what Liu Youpeng was worried about to really happen......
Because it is a new store, the first three days of the opening are considered the closed beta period for friends, and we do not plan to open it to the public.
On the first day, it was okay, the friends we invited were very happy to eat, and many of them also posted on Moments to show off that they enjoyed VIP treatment in advance; The next day, as usual, except for a few diners who reported that the restaurant still smelled after the renovation, so they bought green plants and purification equipment urgently according to everyone's feedback.
On the third day, I didn't go to the store, but I didn't expect Liu Youpeng to call at noon and say that someone was making trouble in the store. Liu Youpeng was vague on the phone, and hung up the phone as if he was very flustered.
I think if it's a general problem, what Liu Youpeng can solve by himself will never trouble me. Since I called this time, I must have encountered something.
When I arrived at the new store, before I entered the door, I saw a group of guys who seemed to be looking for fault, sitting in twos and threes.
There were more than 20 people in this group, occupying seats in twos and threes, and each table ordered a full table of dishes, but basically did not move. This group of people smoked cigarettes, played cards, laughed loudly, and made noise.
It was the noon rush hour, and many diners entered the door, but when they saw the situation inside, they quietly retreated.
These people are looking for trouble!
Seeing that I arrived, Liu Youpeng cautiously came over and whispered: "This group of people don't know what they're here for, they come in and order two dishes per table, and then sit without saying anything, and don't squeak when they ask, they probably came to find trouble." ”
"Did you call the police?" I asked.
"No, these people are here to find fault, but they also order, and when they order, they are customers, and you can't drive them away! Besides, if the police are called, if you get married to these people, I am afraid that business will be even more difficult in the future. Liu Youpeng whispered.
I understand what he said, doing business, harmony can make money!
"This guy, did anyone take the initiative to say anything?" I asked.
"Nope. They ordered and sat down, but the other guests came in to see if something was wrong and turned away. Liu Youpeng said.
I looked at the group and was wondering what to do about it, when the door was pushed open, and a horse-faced man walked in with three or four men behind him.
After Ma Yan came in, he looked around, and then found a seat by the window and sat down, shouting loudly: "Waiter, order!" ”
When the group saw Ma Face coming in, they all nodded at Ma Face, and it seemed that Ma Face was the head of this group.
Liu Youpeng felt a little panicked, I patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, you go to order food first, and then talk about the situation!" ”
When Liu Youpeng saw me say this, the anxiety on his face decreased, and he motioned Xiaobai to go over and give the menu to Ma Mian, who saw Xiaobai coming over and stared at Xiao Bai for a long time before he casually opened the menu and reported seven or eight dishes in one go.
Xiao Bai saw that Ma Mian ordered more dishes, so he said softly: "This boss, we have a lot of dishes here, and the four of you are afraid that you can't eat so much......"
Before the little vernacline was finished, he saw Ma Yan's eyes glaring, and threw the menu on the table and said angrily: "Lao Tzu is rich, you can order as much as you want, it's your business!" ”
After saying that, he lit a cigarette and smoked it leisurely, and while smoking, he said some unclean things to a few men sitting at a table.
Xiaobai listened to them talking about his body and appearance, and his face turned red, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and handed over the dishes ordered by Ma Yan to the back kitchen.
Soon several dishes were served, including a dish of tofu, sweet and sour carp, fried double crispy soup, and braised sea cucumber with green onions...... I stood by the door, I could smell the smell of food from a distance of seven or eight meters, and these people also looked hungry, and after a gust of wind and clouds, there were a few empty plates left on the table.
After eating with a few men, Ma Yan smoked a few more cigarettes, and then shouted contentedly: "Pay!" ”
I thought to myself, could it be a false alarm, and people are here to consume? While I was thinking, the man next to the horse's face suddenly pointed to a plate and said, "Lying on the grass!" Boss, how can there be a cockroach here! ”
I thought to myself, I was optimistic just now, this group of people is still here to smash the field!
"Boss, who's the boss?! What kind of shop do you own? Why are there bugs in this dish! The horse's face shouted in a rough voice.
Although Liu Youpeng and Xiaobai knew what the idea of this group of people was, they still ran over to explain with a kind face, but Ma Mian and the others didn't seem to listen to the explanation at all, not only did they not listen to the explanation, but they also made a noise about eating something bad and having a stomachache or something. The person next to the horse's face actually sat on a chair with his stomach covered and pretended to be sick.
"You're not clean here, and you've eaten my brother badly! What do you say? Horse Face said.
"This boss, we have just renovated and opened a store here, and the back kitchen is clean, where will there be any cockroaches?" Liu Youpeng explained calmly.
"No cockroaches? No cockroaches, what the fuck is this! Ma Yan said, grabbed the little Qiang who was still kicking his paws from the plate and said.
"When we open our doors to do business, it is inevitable that there will be offends, and if we don't take care of them, we hope that a few bosses will bear with us, but to say that there is definitely no hygiene problem in our store." Liu Youpeng saw that the other party didn't listen, but he still smiled and said to the other party.
Xiao Bai, who was standing on the side, finally couldn't help it, pulled away Liu Youpeng and said, "Mr. Liu, this group of people is obviously here to find trouble, let's just call the police!" ”
"You report! Newspaper! Seeing that Xiaobai was about to call, Ma Mian was a little flustered on his face, but finally said with a hard tone: "Lao Tzu is eating here with you, and there are special cockroaches, and it's useless for you to call the police!" ”
Ma Yan said, the surrounding group of people who looked like accomplices also came over to coax, Xiaobai held the phone, his little face was red, but he didn't know if the phone was going to be dialed out.
After all, the new store opened, thinking that it would be best for these people to send them away by themselves, if the police were called, the police would probably be afraid of these people, but if they had a stiff fight with these people, how would they do business here in the future?
This group of people can run over and make trouble twice in three days when they are idle, and the police can't take care of your idle business every day.
Seeing that Xiaobai was holding the phone, but he didn't call, Ma Mian suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "Why don't you call the police!" Hit! You don't want to ask who Lao Tzu is here! You have eaten the things here that have spoiled Lao Tzu's people, what do you say! ”
Liu Youpeng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Boss, I am the manager here, do you think I will accompany this brother to the hospital to have a look, there is a disease and treatment, if there is any problem, we will be responsible for it to the end!" ”
"You're responsible? What are you responsible for! Lao Tzu is a business of millions per minute, where is the time to accompany you to the hospital. In this way, since people are eating bad at your place today, we are also in a hurry! You give 100,000 yuan and forget it! Otherwise......"
"One hundred thousand?! You're going to grab it! I couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but mutter.
"What are you talking about, it's your business! Who the hell are you? Horseface stood up and stared at me angrily.
"It doesn't matter who I am, I'm just curious about making money like you, it's too outdated! This is the Internet era, you still take a cockroach and throw it into the dish, is it not a shame to lose it! Didn't know there was a camera here? I laughed.
"What the hell is the camera?!" When Ma Face saw me talking about the camera, the expression on his face became a little unnatural, but he still insisted on saying, "One hundred thousand!" Why don't you give it? If my brother has three long and two short, Lao Tzu will smash your store believe it or not?! ”
As he spoke, the horse's face beckoned to the people behind him, and a group of people stood up and were about to make a move.
"Stop!" At this moment, a man's voice as loud as a bell came from outside the door, and I turned my head to see that it was Zhang Lanxi, and the person who spoke was a middle-aged man standing next to Zhang Lanxi.
