Chapter 127: Beginning to Gain Notoriety
Another day, a small portion of stinky tofu was added to the fast food lunch at noon, the same as yesterday's. The difference is that there are two pieces of stinky tofu in the small lunch box, which has changed from the original three black and three white to two black and two white, and there are a few more words on the small lunch box: There will be tomorrow.
Another day, during lunch, the stinky tofu in the small lunch box turned into two pieces, one black and one white. The words on the lunch box have also changed: Please make me infamous!
I suddenly remembered the small shop I had been to before that specialized in stinky tofu. I told the owner of the shop about it, but he didn't do anything. It's a good thing that someone else has already started to do business in our company.
Fierce competition, shopping malls are ruthless.
If you take half a beat, you may lose the market!
Woohoo, it's a pity for the owner of that little shop!
For lunch on Thursday, there was still a small portion of stinky tofu, two pieces, one black and one white. The small lunch box still has the same sentence: "Please make me infamous!" "The difference is that there is an extra ordering phone on the small lunch box. I was eating when Yan Xiaoguang came and knocked on the door.
"Brother Long, is the stinky tofu delicious?"
I said, "It's delicious." ”
Yan Xiaoguang said: "They all said it was delicious, and they still wanted to eat if they didn't eat enough, so let me call the boss and ask the boss to send some more, five cents a piece, do you still want it?" ”
I said, "Four more." ”
Yan Xiaoguang went to ask Wanting again, and she said two more.
Yan Xiaoguang immediately picked up my phone and called, ordered another 32 yuan, and said that the boss promised that from 20 yuan it would be calculated as four cents a piece.
After chatting with Yan Xiaoguang, I learned that this stinky tofu was not a meal given by the company, but was given free by the boss who bought stinky tofu, which meant that everyone could taste it for free, which was an advertising behavior.
Yan Xiaoguang said: "This boss is so smart, it's only been a few days since we delivered it, and our appetite was hung up, so we thought of calling to buy it." But to be honest, it's also very cost-effective, it tastes good, it's cheap, and you don't have to run away, they sent it themselves. What a businessman! ”
I thought of the owner of the small shop again, and complained to him in my heart: Big brother, big brother, I think you are honest and kind, I want to help you make more money, I once gave you ideas, but you wasted them, what a pity! You're so honest! Look at people, how good their brains are, and blend the advertisement of stinky tofu into takeaway, although it costs a little money, but the effect of this advertisement comes in the blink of an eye, and you are worried that the business is not big?
In the afternoon, we left work two hours later than usual because the planning of the project required overtime.
Director Zhao said: "The department has a treat, everyone likes to eat stinky tofu, just go to the stinky tofu shop, drink beer drinks, eat stinky tofu, and be full!" ”
I said, "I know there's a shop nearby that buys stinky tofu, and it tastes good, so I'll take you there." ”
Director Zhao said: "No, no, no, we are going to this one that is going to advertise, that is the authentic stinky tofu, and everyone already likes it." As for Ah Fen, who refused at first, is now addicted. Just go to this house, not far, just nearby. ”
I originally wanted to help the stinky tofu shop I had been to and pull some business for him, but Director Zhao said so, so I couldn't insist anymore, so I had to go with everyone.
When I went, I realized that it was actually the one I wanted to come to.
The sign at the top of the entrance has been replaced with a wine banner similar to that of ancient times, and a few large black characters are written on the yellow cloth panel: Please make me notorious! The phone number is at the back.
I took a closer look and realized that this phone number was the number on the small lunch box that was given to us for free.
It turned out that my suggestion was adopted by him!
In other words, this boss brother has already started a notorious operation!
Recently, I noticed that in addition to the busy boss in front of the stove, there was also a busy woman.
The woman looked like she was in her thirties, just like the boss, wearing a white sanitary hat on her head, and her face was red and fluttering under the light of the stove fire, and she was very handsome.
Director Zhao stepped forward and said, "Boss, first bring us sixty fast stinky tofu, half of the black and half of the white." ”
The boss was too busy to look up, and said as he was busy: "Eat here?" Or is it packed? ”
Director Zhao said: "Eat here, we are here to eat your stinky tofu." ”
The woman smiled with a flushed face and said, "Oh, such a big business! Then please sit inside, and find a place to sit. ”
Director Zhao beckoned everyone to come in and find a place to sit.
I walked last.
The boss looked up, and then he saw me.
"Oh, it's you! What a joyous event! Hurry up, sit inside! Wife, our benefactor is here, say hello! ”
I said, "Don't, you get busy." ”
The boss said: "I've been looking forward to you coming every day, but I haven't seen you appear, now it's okay, you're finally here, and I'm treating you as much as you want." ”
I said, "These are my colleagues, you can't afford to hire them." ”
The boss looked back inside and said, "You brought it all here?" It's all mine! ”
I said, "Don't talk about this yet, you can first come for sixty yuan according to what our Director Zhao said." ”
The boss said, "Soon, we are two people now, much faster than before. ”
I said, "But you still have to greet the people in line first, because they will come before us." ”
The boss said, "Yes, first come, first come, you sit first." Wife, give them beer to drink, it's all mine. ”
When I walked in, Director Zhao and Yan Xiaoguang had already put together the tables and stools and formed a circle.
Director Zhao said: "Do you know this boss? ”
I said, "Once." ”
Director Zhao said: "The one you are talking about is this?" ”
I nodded.
Director Zhao said, "Isn't that right? You've only been here once, so why does the boss say you're a benefactor? ”
Ah Fen said: "Brother Long's popularity is good. ”
Director Zhao stopped Ah Fen and said, "It's not your turn to interject!" Then he turned to me, "Xiaoda, tell me, why are you someone's benefactor?" ”
Before I could speak, the boss rushed to say: "This comrade of yours is a good person, I changed the signboard and advertised, all of which he gave me tricks." My current business is much better than before, and I can't be busy alone, so I have called my wife from my hometown to help. You say, "Isn't this a great benefactor?" ”
Director Zhao said: "Okay, Xiaoda, you really have you!" I still wonder what to do, a small stinky tofu shop, to think of this kind of creativity, there must be a master behind it, it turns out to be you! ”
I said, "It's nothing, I've been here once, and I think this boss is very kind, so I want to help him, just say that." Even I didn't expect him to actually do it. ”
Director Zhao said: "Please make me notorious, this advertising slogan is also your masterpiece, right?" ”
I laughed it off, noncommittal.
Director Zhao said: "You can think of this idea, others, impossible." ”
Yan Xiaoguang said: "I also think so. ”
Ah Fen said, "Who is Brother Long?" Brother Long is Brother Long! ”
Director Zhao said: "If you don't speak, someone will treat you as a dumb person?" ”
Ah Fen pouted and stopped squeaking.
I suddenly found that the people from the planning department were here, and Ouyang Neon was missing.
I asked Director Zhao: "Why didn't Ouyang Nihong come, wasn't she still together when she was working overtime just now?" ”
Ah Fen grabbed the words again: "What are you doing in charge of others?" Isn't it enough to have me? ”
I got bored and said, "Can you take her place?" Hurry up and drink your drink and keep your mouth shut. ”
Director Zhao said: "Ouyang Ni Neon said that she was not feeling well, so she didn't come. ”
Yan Xiaoguang opened the beer and poured it for everyone, saying, "Come, drink beer, cold beer, it's very cool, it's better than anything else!" ”
The stinky tofu came up, and everyone scrambled to eat it, and they all praised that it tasted so good, and it was hot when it came out of the pot, and it tasted better than that of a cold one.
Eating and drinking, time passed quickly.
At the time of checkout, which is what Cantonese calls the payment of the bill, those who lined up to pack were also gone, and the people sitting and eating inside were almost gone.
The boss said: "It's more than ten o'clock now, and in the past, there was no one at eight o'clock and no more than nine o'clock, which shows that my business is much better than before." ”
I said, "That's good." It's time for us to go, pay the bill. ”
The boss said, "It's all mine, you just have to leave." ”
Director Zhao said: "No, it's not easy for you to do small business, we have to pay the bill." ”
The boss said: "It's a small business, but there is still gratitude, this brother gave me the idea of advertising, my business is much better than before, today I have a treat, but also gratitude." ”
Director Zhao said: "No, you must pay the bill!" Hostess, do the math. ”
The proprietress stood there embarrassed and didn't know who to listen to.
The boss said, "Listen to me, you don't have to pay!" ”
Director Zhao said: "Listen to me, pay the bill!" ”
The hostess was still at a loss.
I said, "You should still pay the bill." Today, our department is working overtime, and it is the company's treat. ”
The boss said, "Since you say so, then ...... Wife, do the math how much it is. ”
The proprietress took the list and counted it and said, "Nine people ate a total of one hundred and ten pieces of stinky tofu, fifty-five yuan, and a total of one hundred and five yuan for beer and drinks, adding up to a total of one hundred and sixty yuan." ”
Director Zhao said: "Nine of us, after eating and drinking so much, it is only 160 yuan, which is too cheap. As he spoke, he put his hand in his pocket and was about to take out the money.
The boss took Director Zhao's hand and said, "It's okay to pay the bill, but I have a request." ”
Director Zhao said, "You say." ”
The boss said, "One hundred and five yuan for beer and drinks, you can just give one hundred, and the stinky tofu is mine." ”
Director Zhao said: "That's not good, the profit of beer and drinks is already very thin, and if you don't collect money for stinky tofu, then you will lose money." ”
The boss said, "What's not a loss?" Compared to the kindness of this brother of yours to me, it is a small matter, and I have a greater gratitude to him. ”
Director Zhao said: "Then I don't care, I just care about the present, and I can't let you lose money now." In this way, one hundred and five yuan for beer and drinks, and one hundred and ten yuan for stinky tofu, according to the price when you delivered food to us, four cents a piece, that is forty-four yuan, a total of one hundred and forty-nine yuan. That's okay, right? ”
The boss said: "This is not good, it is too much, I don't want to go!" ”
Director Zhao said: "That's it, it's boring to pull again." I'm here for one hundred and fifty dollars, I don't need to look for it, I have an extra dollar to store here, and I'll just come back to eat next time." With that, he gave the money to the proprietress and hurriedly took everyone away.
Before leaving, Director Zhao said, "Xiaoda, aren't you leaving?" ”
I said, "I'm not in the same direction as you, you go first, I want to talk to this boss for a while." ”
Director Zhao said, "That's good, but it's not too late, I have to go to work tomorrow." ”
To be honest, through this incident, I think Director Zhao is really atmospheric, not at all like the kind of person who loves to be greedy for small gains, and he is very understanding of others, and can sincerely think of the difficulties of small businessmen, which shows that he is not only an empathetic person, but also a very kind person.
