Chapter 180: A Blessing or a Curse?
Hearing Yan Tingjun's words, I immediately heard the meaning of his words, which was hinting at me: Today I brought someone over to cheer on your hometown tavern, next time, when our chain hot pot restaurant opens, should you also "exchange gifts"?
There are not so many "free lunches", and there are not so many sincere feelings, the cooperation in the business field is all interests, if there is really one, it is a little more active and bold than the other party!
I smiled and nodded, nodded to Yan Tingjun and said, "Mr. Yan's words are reasonable, we are not only partners, but also friends, since we are friends, it is reasonable to help each other." ”
"That's right!" Yan Tingjun handed me a cigarette with a smile, and the employees behind him also asked me to arrange for a guy to greet me.
"Mr. Xue, this is the first time I've come to your tavern, tonight, why don't we have a good drink?"
"Of course, no problem, the wine must be bit!"
After the greetings, the dinner also began, because the kitchen did not prepare so much meat today, for this reason, I also specially arranged for the staff to help us order takeout and deliver some cooked food. These expenses are naturally paid by myself.
This night, Yan Tingjun and I chatted happily in the tavern, and when we drank to the fullest, we even became brothers. It's just that the words on the wine table don't have to be fully believed, they are just a play.
Soon it was about ten o'clock in the evening, and the employees brought by Yan Tingjun also went back one after another, but the two of us were still drinking and chatting, but looking at the state on Yan Tingjun's face, it seemed that it should be about the same.
When Yan Tingjun went to the bar to check out this night, tonight's consumption was more than 40,000 yuan, and he directly recharged 80,000 yuan at our hometown tavern, and I couldn't accept it all greedily, and gave him a 20% discount, and those cooked foods before actually cost a lot of money, and I didn't count those for twenty or thirty people in the bill with him.
After sending Yan Tingjun away, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and I stayed in the tavern until about twelve o'clock, and then I also went back to the rental house. Because this night, Yan Tingjun and I both drank a lot of wine together, and his amount of alcohol was still very good.
Back at the rental house, I turned on the lights and walked in, just lying on the couch so tired. After a short silence, he sat up and lit a cigarette.
Although I have lived in this house for a long time, for some reason, when Jiang Xue is not here, sometimes, I suddenly find that I have no "feelings" for this rental house, and I am very indifferent.
At a glance, all the layout and decoration are still quite familiar, but there is a little less feeling.
Maybe I thought about it too much, but after a cigarette, I adjusted my mood and went to the bathroom to take a warm hot shower to end the busy day.
……
Two days later, March 5th. The cold winter finally passed slowly, ushering in the spring flowers.
That afternoon, I was in the tavern's office, taking stock of the recent tavern activity and thinking about the marketing plan for the early spring of March.
After I was busy for an hour or so, suddenly the mobile phone on the table received a call, I glanced at it and saw that it was Qin Weilan calling, so I had to stop the busy work in my hand and answer her call.
In my impression, this is the last time, after I went to her house to play hot pot, the first contact between us has been less than half a month, and I even thought that Qin Weilan's father Qin Songze said something to her during this period, so he never contacted me, and he didn't come to the tavern.
This phone call completely dispelled the superfluous thoughts in my heart.
"Hey, Vilan, what's wrong?"
"Jing Fan, I called you because I wanted to talk about something and do me a favor."
I leaned back in my chair and said without thinking, "Well, whatever, you say." ”
"A few days ago, I just talked about a partner, and the day after tomorrow I wanted to come and celebrate a little, and the other party said that I didn't want to go to hotels and bars and other places, and I wanted to find a place similar to a bars to celebrate, so I thought of your hometown tavern, you see...... Is it appropriate to arrange it for us? ”
I smiled and immediately said, "Of course this is no problem for me, but I'm just worried, that's a big customer of your Qin Group, come to my tavern, is this sure it's appropriate?" ”
"Sure, it's definitely right, what's the matter? If you think there's no problem, I'll take someone to your tavern the night after tomorrow. ”
After thinking about it for a while, I nodded and said, "Okay, okay, then you can tell me what I need to prepare in advance and how to arrange this, you can tell me in advance." ”
"No problem, I'll check with you tomorrow about the time." On the other side of the phone, Qin Weilan paused and added to me: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, Jingfan, the night after tomorrow, my dad should also go with me, if nothing else, it should be arranged like this." ”
When I heard Qin Weilan and me say that her father Qin Songze would also come with him and come to our hometown tavern the night after tomorrow, my heart suddenly "chuckled", remembering the last time I was in the parking lot, Qin Songze and I said those not very "polite" words, if he came to the hometown tavern and saw that I was the owner of this tavern, would he be happy?
Seeing that I fell into a short silence, Qin Weilan hurriedly asked, "Hey, Jingfan, are you listening?" ”
"Oh, yes, I heard you, a customer just came over, so I answered you...... It's okay, just come along, it's okay. ”
"Well, that's it for now, I still have something to do."
After hanging up the phone, I got out of my office chair, got up and walked to the window next to me, and couldn't help but light a cigarette.
The night after tomorrow, if Qin Weilan and Qin Songze and their father and daughter really came to the tavern together, although bringing their big customers of the Qin Group to come over would indeed be of great help to the tavern's business, but ...... For a while, I couldn't tell the difference myself, this is "a blessing or a curse"!
……
Two days later, at around four o'clock in the afternoon, I finally received a message from Qin Weilan that they would come to our tavern at about eight o'clock tonight, and at that time, they should have just had dinner before coming over.
I asked Qin Weilan if there was anything I needed to prepare in advance, and she said that she didn't need to, just do everything as normal, but it is worth noting that if you can, you can say hello to the employees in advance, and leave a good impression on the customers of their Qin Group, if you can, he will definitely bring their company's employees or customers to our tavern to patronize the business in the future.
After thinking about it, this is also true, after all, it is a big customer of Qin's Group, if they are also satisfied with the tavern, and then choose to come to our tavern often, it is naturally a good opportunity for long-term development of big customers!
At about eight o'clock in the evening, the people from the Qin Group came, and they really arrived at this point in time.
Seeing that there were about a dozen or so of them, they came to the door of the tavern, and I didn't get up to go out to greet them, because I was walking out of the hall after going to the bathroom.
However, when I almost walked in front of them, I took a special look, and was surprised to find that I didn't see Qin Weilan's figure.
Don't...... She didn't come with Qin Songze and the others tonight?!
