Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Mysterious Old Customer
The next day, Cen Wen went to work at the bakery early in the morning.
Recently, the new products launched in the store, 'taro paste salted egg yolk European bun' and 'orange cheese cake', gradually began to become popular, and some old customers placed a big order as a unit afternoon tea, so Cen Wen's workload today is quite heavy.
Gao Jie soon came, and the clerks arrived one after another.
Making bread, beating cake batter, and plastering started a busy working day.
While he was busy, Gao Jie didn't forget to ask Cen for a conversation, and continued to talk about what happened after last night's family dinner.
"Ah asked, did you use the method I taught you last night?"
"Yes." Cen Wen pursed his lips and smiled, don't say, Gao Jie's experience is sometimes quite reliable.
Gao Jie knew that he had succeeded as soon as he saw his expression, and said with a smug smile: "It seems that it is coaxed, tsk, it is worthy of me." ”
"You teach the method, I didn't think it would work at first, she doesn't look like the kind of person who can be coaxed by small gifts. But there's no way, just give it a try, and the results are really good. ”
This can praise Gao Jie, and the tail on his ass is cocked.
"Girl, no matter how cold she is, as long as she finds the right way, she can be coaxed. I don't dare to say that the method I teach is 100% effective, but it definitely copes with 90% of cases. ”
Cen Wen smiled again, "Okay, I'll ask you more for advice in the future." ”
"No problem! By the way, I made last month's bill last night, and guess what? In the first month of expanding our side hustle, our store's net income increased by 40%! Gao Jie said excitedly.
In the past six months, community group buying has become popular in the community group, and it just so happens that Cen Wen's store also has a customer group, which has more than 400 customers and one or two hundred active groups, which is a good business opportunity.
In addition, the bakery usually needs to consume a lot of fruit to make desserts, and they have to go in and out of the fruit wholesale market, and they can also get the lowest fruit wholesale price.
Bring fruits, souvenirs, etc.
The low-price strategy was adopted, and the feedback was really good, not only the side business income was gratifying, but also took the opportunity to attract a group of new customers, and the main performance of the bakery was improved.
"That's very good, as long as we control the quality and price, we will definitely be able to maintain this group of customers." Cen asked, this is the growth of one step at a time.
Gao Jie liked the excitement very much, and proposed: "The expansion of the side business led to a surge in workload last month, and everyone is very hard, why don't you have a team building and have a meal together to comfort yourself?" ”
"Okay, you decide."
"Okay, the time is set for tonight, the hot pot restaurant will start! Let's bring all the family members, I'll bring Xiaomeng, and you bring your wife too, just so that I can get to know each other. ”
Without waiting for Cen Wen to agree, Gao Jie walked out of the operation room and directly informed the three employees in the store of the team building dinner tonight.
Not surprisingly, the employees jumped for joy.
After all, when Boss Gao invites him to eat, he invites high-end restaurants, and they are usually reluctant to consume them.
Cen Wen also put down the work in his hand, walked out and said, "Gao Jie, Youwei may not have time tonight, so don't count her." ”
This is one of the reasons, and the other is that Cen Wen took into account that there was a storm just last night because of dinner, and this turmoil was also related to Xu Xiaoyun, an employee in his store, and he was really not sure if Youwei would agree to participate in the activities in the store.
"Then you can find a way to make her take out the time! You can't handle such a trivial matter, huh? Gao Jie didn't follow, he wanted to see Cen Wen's newlywed wife for a long time.
"That's it, ask brother, we also want to meet the proprietress too."
"Ask brother, you can't hide Jiao in the golden house!"
The clerks Lu Xin and Zhao Yu followed Gao Jie to coax, and they were very curious about the true face of this 'boss lady'.
Only Xu Xiaoyun had a lonely face, and stood aside with a smile.
Cen couldn't resist asking, and it happened that there were customers in the store's WeChat group asking about fruits and local products, and he immediately avoided everyone's questioning on the grounds that he wanted to return to the customer.
The two customers who asked about the fruit were both new to the group, and they circled Cen Wen, who was the leader of the group.
But the questions asked were a little strange, it seemed like they were here to buy something, but not like they were buying things, Cen asked them patiently and replied to them in detail.
In the end, the two customers said they would come and get the fruit in person, and then they didn't reply to the message.
Cen Wen didn't take this matter to heart, there will be customers who consult every day, but not every customer will place an order after consultation, he is used to it, and is preparing to go back to the operation room to continue making bread.
An old voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Excuse me, is this Cen Wen's shop?" ”
Cen Wen turned his head and saw the two old men who were in good spirits, and recognized them at a glance, isn't this the grandfather and grandmother of Youwei who had dinner together last night?
"Grandpa, grandma, why are you here?" Cen Wen greeted him in surprise.
Grandma smiled and said, "We heard from a friend that the fruits you sell are cheap and of good quality, don't we want to try them too?" I came to buy it. ”
"Hey, you two elders want to eat fruit, let Youwei say no to me, why don't you buy it in person!" Cen Wen smiled and shook his head, no wonder he thought the two customers were a little strange, now he understood everything.
Youwei's grandparents, although they are knowledgeable, will also play WeChat online when they are seventy or eighty, but the communication methods of the elderly and young people are different after all, and this 'generation gap' is magnified by a layer of network.
Cen Wen took the two old men to look at the fruits placed in the lounge, and said: "There are tangerines, Aksu apples, jackfruits, green coconut, and strawberries, these are all seasonal fruits, very sweet, I will pack them all for you." ”
Cen asked to take a few plastic bags and pick fruits for the old man, which one is red and which one is better, and the two old men watched from the side, as if the more they looked at it, the more satisfied they became, and they glanced at each other from time to time, smiled and nodded.
Of course they were satisfied, just now they pretended to be customers and joined the group, picking tricky questions to "annoy" Cen Q, just wanted to see if Cen Q was really the same, obviously this, Cen Q passed.
"Grandpa, grandma, sit down." Gao Jie brought two stools, asked the old man to sit down, and introduced himself by the way, "My name is Gao Jie, I am a good friend of Cen Wen, and I am also one of the owners of the store. ”
"I know that the group says that Boss Cen and Boss Gao are both honest businessmen who are very principled." Grandma said with a smile, obviously no stranger to Gao Jie.
No one doesn't like to be boasted.
Gao Jie's face bloomed with joy, "Grandma, I asked Ah Wen to bring his daughter-in-law over to have a meal with us tonight, but he was not happy and hid it and refused to let us see him." Unexpectedly, Ah Wen's daughter-in-law didn't see her, but saw her two elders, and when I saw your second elder, I was sure that Ah Wen's daughter-in-law must be a big beauty, otherwise why wouldn't you be willing to let us see it? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't." Cen asked and retorted while picking fruit.
Grandma's eyes flashed with a hint of deep meaning, and she smiled and said, "It's a good thing to know more friends, Xiao Q, why don't you let Youwei come to eat." ”
"I'm worried that Youwei won't have time, she's too busy with work." Cen asked thoughtfully replied that this was indeed one of the reasons.
"I'm not busy, I'm not busy, I'll let Youwei come to the dinner, don't worry." Unexpectedly, my grandmother made a decision very arrogantly in the next second.
"Huh?" Cen Wen was stunned, but since his grandmother had spoken, he naturally didn't say anything, anyway, he didn't want to force Youwei to come over to participate in the team building.
Gao Jie died laughing on the side, the two old men, especially this grandmother, this trip is really the right one.
"Grandpa, grandma, then you and Ah Wen have a good chat, I'll go out to say hello." Gao Jie was very interested, and could see that the old man had something to say to Cen Qian, but it was difficult for outsiders to speak, so he took the initiative to withdraw.
