Chapter 164: For Whom to Live
When everything has settled, no matter how good life is, we have to face it calmly. It is precisely because Lao Wei, Jiang Xue, and Gao Hangfeng, who just walked out of the door, have left my side one after another, that I have to cherish my current life more and work hard.
That afternoon, I gave myself a little time to gather my mood and began to think about the next steps in the tavern in my office.
……
In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, and in the past few days, I have been busy with my heart, and the things that I had discussed with Gao Hangfeng before, and Lao Wei had also suggested to me, tried to contact those customers of my previous company, and tried to see if I could negotiate cooperation with the tavern.
I've been putting on this matter for so long, and it's not until the last two days that I finally started to officially implement it.
For the time being, I don't have a relationship of interest, even if I contact the previous customers, although basically everyone has given me a polite response, and then when I put forward the intention of cooperation, there is almost no follow-up, as if I didn't see the message I sent, and automatically ignore the past.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, things have to be done one by one, and it is useless to be anxious.
In the case of Zhang Yunluo, from the time we announced the verdict in court to the present, today is the tenth day that the tavern has been closed for rectification, and in five days, it will be able to resume official business.
However, due to the ripple effect of the previous events, even the new taverns, which had a little improvement at the beginning, were affected miserably, and business became more and more bleak.
At noon that day, when I went out to pack lunch, I was standing at the door of the restaurant waiting for the packing, and I accidentally saw a bubble tea shop diagonally opposite, and the business was booming! This really caught my attention.
When I looked at the brisk bubble tea shop diagonally opposite not far away, the owner of the restaurant called out to me, put my fast food box in the window, and reminded me.
"Come, young man, your meal is packed."
I took the fast food in my hand, and after a moment of silence, I looked at the boss and couldn't help asking, "Hey, uncle, the bubble tea shop diagonally opposite our restaurant, has their business always been so hot?" It's noon, so many people are queuing?! ”
The boss followed my gaze and glanced in the direction of the bubble tea shop, chuckled and said, "Young man, do you think it's possible?" In fact, most of the people in line are from nursery, otherwise do you think there are really so many people queuing up to buy milk tea? Look at their house, the fake is so obvious, even forty or fifty-year-old uncles and aunts go to line up, how is it possible? Many of them come part-time, you give me fifty hundred, hire someone to line up to attract attention, a hundred yuan for an hour or two, I don't know how many people are willing to go over and line up. ”
I nodded to him knowingly, and the uncle lit a cigarette and continued: "Those of us who do catering basically know that there is this kind of operation, but it also depends on whether the type is appropriate...... I'm a more honest person, okay is OK, no is not good, engage in those fancy, meaningless, consumers in the end, the most important thing is the product itself, is the things you make, whether the price is cost-effective, good or not, nothing more than these two points. ”
I smiled and nodded to the hotel owner and said, "It makes sense, I've been taught, uncle, thank you, I'm leaving, the money has already been paid." ”
Back to the new tavern, I sat at the bar and ate the fast food that had just been packed, and the taste of their store was still very good, it was the fast food restaurant where Gao Hangfeng and I used to eat together, they were chained, and there were also stores in the old tavern.
As I ate, I watched the passers-by outside the tavern, and in my eyes they were walking bills, but the problem was how to attract them to the store.
After eating, I got up and walked to the chair at the door of the tavern, sat down, lit an after-dinner cigarette, and remembered what the innkeeper and I had said when we were packing.
After thinking about it for a while, I gradually grabbed a trace of inspiration in my mind, as if I was thinking a little!
Thinking of this, I immediately got up and walked towards the office inside, and with marketing inspiration, I naturally wanted to record it as soon as possible.
……
When I was in the office, recording the inspiration in my mind and continuing the previous marketing plan, someone happened to walk up to the door of my office, knocked on the door, I responded, and walked in.
"Huh? Wei Lan, you're here this afternoon, huh? ”
The person who came into my office was Qin Weilan, after Jiang Xue and Gao Hangfeng left the tavern one after another, Qin Weilan basically came over in these days, and sometimes Mannie would follow her.
After Qin Weilan sat down in the chair, she responded with a smile and explained softly: "I went out to run errands in the morning, and I just happened to pass by the tavern after I was busy, so I stopped by to see you." ”
I pulled my hand off the keyboard, leaned back in my chair, looked at her and asked, "Haven't you had time to eat lunch yet?" ”
Qin Weilan nodded at me a little embarrassed, and said: "It's true that it's not yet, it's too busy, so I forgot about it for a while, and it's time to go to work in the afternoon later, and I have to go back to the company to continue working." ”
"People are iron and rice is steel, how can you do without eating? Wait a minute, I'll ask the kitchen guy to prepare something for you now, and it will be ready soon." ”
She pursed her lips in thought, smiled at me and nodded. After a while, she looked at me and asked, "Jing Fan, hasn't the business of the new tavern shop been getting better?" ”
I shook my head regretfully, and said calmly: "At present, there is still none, but it doesn't matter, I already have a new idea, and it is expected that the implementation will be arranged immediately in the next two days, I hope the business can improve!" ”
Qin Weilan's face showed a smile of joy and said, "That's really good! Don't put too much pressure on yourself, the tavern will definitely run with you. ”
Hearing Qin Weilan say this, I suddenly felt a little lost in my heart, she was obviously encouraging me, but I thought that the hometown tavern was made by Lao Wei at the beginning, and then the three of us together, but now I am the only one who is "resisting", if there is no pressure, it is impossible.
I responded with a smile to Qin Weilan, nodded and said, "Hmm! It's okay, anyway, people are alive, aren't they all stressed? ”
I paused, continued the topic, and couldn't help but sigh: "The more we live in the back, the more we will find that there are many times when we are actually numb, and we are actually living for the responsibilities we carry. ”
She smiled at me and said softly: "Actually, I can't say that, if nothing else, we are actually an independent individual, living in this world, in the final analysis, in the end, we all live for ourselves, not for whom." ”
She sighed softly and continued: "Others don't know what they think, but I myself will be very emotional about what you said...... No matter what, Jingfan, come on! ”
I nodded to Qin Weilan, and it was also at this time that the lunch prepared for the person in the back kitchen and for her was also prepared and sent to the office.
I pointed to the cooked food on the table that had just been delivered, smiled at Qin Weilan and said, "Taste it, eat it while it's hot." ”
"Well, let's eat together, I'll just eat a little, I have to hurry up and go back to the company, there are still many things to be busy in the afternoon."
