Chapter 196: An Envelope (Fourth Update)
A few days later, I was in the vicinity of the commercial plaza where the new tavern was located, and there happened to be a shopping street on that side, and I had my eye on a small shop for rent.
It's a small shop, and I estimated that it might only be about 20 square meters, but it was exactly what I wanted, because I was thinking of making a small investment to try it.
Even for such a small store, the rent is as high as 12,000 yuan a month! On this morning, I rented the shop. The rent was paid quarterly, and I paid 36,000 yuan at once. Next, I have to decorate the small shop a little, and it is estimated that it will cost tens of thousands of yuan!
From this day on, I contacted the decoration master, planning to renovate the small shop, according to the time given by the decoration master, if you don't rush the construction period, just do it normally, it will be completed in about ten days.
When I was done, I went back to the tavern, walked straight into my office, and opened the business plan I had planned the other day on my computer.
I have all figured out the name of the bubble tea shop, since it is jointly marketed with the hometown tavern, and it is also a business that is divided from here, so I simply named it 'Xiangcha'.
Although the name sounds a bit earthy, but these are not the point, before the afternoon tea business of our tavern, the feedback from customers is still very good, even on the takeaway platform, there are 4.8 points, after all, it is not the main business, and it is already good to have this rating.
After the opening of Xiangcha, I will arrange for the employees who were originally in charge of the afternoon tea business in the tavern to be assigned to Xiangcha, but after all, it is only a small shop, and the number of places is only three, which means that the remaining two or three people who were originally extra will either agree to change jobs, or they can only resign from the tavern and leave.
After my negotiation, only one of the remaining three employees agreed to transfer to the tavern with equal pay, and the other two chose to resign and leave.
In fact, this is a disguised "layoff", this scene, I used to work, I can also empathize, now that the roles have been reversed, I also understand what it feels like. Standing in different positions, in fact, everyone has their own difficulties and difficulties.
In order to make my heart feel better, after all, they have also been following the tavern for so long, and on the day they resigned and left, I agreed to give them all the wages on the same day, so that they would not have to wait for more than half a month to pay their salaries, and I also gave them a sum of compensation.
……
Today is the seventh day of the decoration of the township tea store, just over a week, at more than three o'clock in the afternoon, I came to the store and docked with the decoration masters.
I bought some drinks and a little seasonal fruit, and as soon as I walked in, I gave each of them a cigarette and asked with a smile.
"Master, how long will it take for my small shop to be renovated?" I looked around the store, and it was almost the same as the cabinet at the bar, and everything else was pretty much the same, and then I added, "I think it should be finished in a few days, right?" ”
The decorator who took the lead took the cigarette I handed over, and when he lowered his head to light the cigarette, he nodded to me and said.
"Soon, at most three days, it can be completed, but when you renovate this store, there is a lot of paint and putty, there is formaldehyde, I suggest you wait for a while before opening, if you are in a hurry, then buy some more formaldehyde things, so that it can be faster."
"Okay, thanks for the reminder, I'll buy it."
I stayed here for about half an hour at the village tea shop, and then drove my car, which had been repaired for a short time, to the new tavern.
When I returned to the tavern and was just about to walk into the office, the bartender called out to me and said, "Brother Fan, wait a minute......"
The bartender took out an envelope from the drawer at the bar, walked up to me and handed it to me, pointing to the envelope in his hand, and explained to me.
"Someone just looked for you, it seems to be a student, she walked in and put this envelope on the bar, and then said that I was asked to pass it on to the owner of our tavern, and left after explaining it, and said nothing else."
I looked at the envelope in his hand and was stunned for a while before I got it in my hand and asked suspiciously, "A student?!" Is it so strange, I remember that if I was a student, I would have only one friend, but they all graduated from college soon...... No, how old is that? ”
He thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be the same person, because the person who came over and put the envelope on the bar was a female student, and she was still wearing a school uniform. ”
I pondered for a moment, then nodded to him and said, "Okay, I see, I'll see what this stuff is later." ”
With that, I walked forward, put the envelope in the pocket of my underwear, went to the bathroom, and then went back to the office.
As soon as I sat down for a while, suddenly the mobile phone in my pocket rang, and when I took it out, I didn't expect it to be Gao Hangfeng, who was far away in Shenwan City, calling me.
After answering the phone, I smiled and took the lead in speaking: "Boss Gao, this will be work time, shouldn't you be at work?" How do you remember to call me at this time? ”
"Isn't it my own work now, can't I fish at work? Come out and smoke a cigarette in the smoking area, and I'll just have a few words with you. ”
Immediately after, I heard the sound of Gao Hangfeng pressing the lighter on the other end of the phone to light a cigarette.
"Yours ...... Remind me, I just came back from a busy day, let's stay with you! By the way, what are you talking to me about? "Anyway, I took a cigarette out of the cigarette case and lit it.
"Look, isn't this going to be the May Day Golden Week soon? Next week, our company has a five-day holiday, so I plan to go back to Kyoto City this vacation, and by the way, I will take a day off to go back, so that I have more time and don't have to worry about not being able to buy a ticket. ”
I clicked the mouse a few times and looked at the calendar in the lower right corner, and then I realized that "May Day" is indeed still a week away. If it weren't for Gao Hangfeng talking to me about this matter, I really didn't pay attention to this date, and now I am so busy every day, it seems that I have no "time concept", and I often don't know what day of the week it is, only what day it is.
Time, time, it's really fast enough, I feel as if I just finished the Qingming Festival holiday with Jiang Xue just one or two days ago, why is it another month so soon?
After a while, I smiled and said to Gao Hangfeng on the phone: "Okay, it's time for you to come back, you're going for half a year, anyway, you have so many days off in Shenwan City, and you don't have anything to do, just come back, buddy, have a good time!" ”
"That's what I thought, otherwise I'd be 'moldy' after almost a week of vacation here...... Okay, the main thing is to tell you about this, and when I come back, I'll tell you in advance, I have to go back and continue to work, and when I come back, let's have a good chat. ”
"That's a must! You go get busy first. ”
After hanging up the phone, I just finished smoking a cigarette, and then continued to work on the computer, thinking about the marketing plan about the country tea.
In the evening, when I went back to the rental house, took a shower and washed my clothes, when I took my clothes out of the washing machine to dry, as soon as I opened the lid of the washing machine, I was stupid, it was full of confetti......
Seeing this scene, I suddenly remembered that this afternoon, the bartender gave me an envelope, I went into the office in the afternoon to check, but it was a phone call from Gao Hangfeng, and after chatting, I completely forgot the envelope in my pocket!
Now, I took out the broken envelope from my clothes, which was almost melted away, and God knows what was written in it for me.
