Afternoon tea for 170 Britons
Of course, it wasn't a problem to invite me back to dinner, but I couldn't help but feel apprehensive when I saw her always glancing at me with that kind of ambiguous eyes.
I'm not a hypocrisy, and I'm not against taking peach blossom luck, for people like me who are not noble in thought and morality at all, and whose will quality is very weak, there will always be some smugness when targeted by the opposite sex.
It's just that there are always some things in Chen Hong's eyes that I can't understand, but I can't say what it feels like.
Winter came early this year, with a sleet in early December. Except for going to the bookstore and the Xinyu Hotel, I stayed at Bao Lina's place, reading books and watching TV.
Winter is the off-season for drinks, but Zeng Yongshan is not willing to be dull at all. He came to me a few more times, told me about his latest ideas, and showed me his latest products.
In Zeng's eyes, I am a genius, an extraordinary business wizard who transcends age limits. He didn't know it, though, and I was just reinventing what was destined to appear in the future so that they would appear in advance.
This time, Zeng Yongshan brought me a bottle of ginger drink, saying that it was his latest winter drink, and asked me to visit his company to see the new gadgets in his company.
First of all, I think how could he have invented a drink, it must have been developed by someone, but the idea of ginger ale was of course a good idea, but it didn't start to be popular until 2007, and then it suddenly disappeared. After all, white-collar workers are relatively unlikely to drink ginger juice in the office. Second, what new gadgets can he have in his company?
When I asked, I realized that the new thing he was talking about was a computer!
At that time, computers were not as popular as in the 21st century, computers were still an extremely novel thing, and ordinary people would not play at all, not to mention Zeng Yongshan, to be honest, I didn't know much about the DOS system, except for a few of the most foolish DOS commands, I didn't know anything else.
Speaking of ginger drinks, I gave him an idea, and I said that ginger juice is better than instant milk tea. In the cold winter, there is nothing more comfortable and warm than a cup of hot milk tea.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, Zeng Yongshan stroked his scalp and became cloudy.
"Milk tea? What instant milk tea?"
"You haven't drunk milk tea?" This time it was my turn to get confused.
"Nope. I've had coffee, and that's to cope with customers, and I have to drink it, but it really doesn't taste good. I haven't drunk that milk tea, isn't it the kind of Mongolian milk tea?"
I almost fainted to the ground, where is this, and the Mongolian milk tea, it's too far.
I quickly pulled his thinking back to the original place, Zeng Yongshan's imagination and learning ability is actually very difficult, as long as a few words, he can understand, and keenly see the existence of business opportunities, it should be said that this is one of the basic qualities that a business owner should have.
I said that milk tea, as the name suggests, is milk plus tea, or tea and milk, anyway, it is a two-in-one, which is the same style as coffee with sugar. Authentic milk tea was invented by the British, in fact, it is to add some milk to black tea. As for instant milk tea, it is tea powder and milk powder, and then you can make a cup of milk tea by brewing water, which is very convenient.
Speaking of this, Zeng Yongshan understood that this was not complicated, it could be said to be very simple, so simple that he didn't think it was very interesting. He said with disdain: "Will anyone drink this simple thing of tea powder and creamer powder?"
I said, "Yes, just tell them that this is the kind of milk tea that the British drink in the afternoon." Tell consumers that what they drink is not milk tea, it is a taste of life. ”
Hearing this, Zeng Yongshan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Zhou Xu, you are really good at fooling people, how is this the afternoon tea of the British?"
I said, "Drinks have a strong psychological value, otherwise who would drink that potion-style coke?" As you drink and drink, you will naturally get used to it. I believe that instant milk tea will become a popular drink for white-collar workers in the next few years. ”
"Are you so sure?"
"Of course."
"And what is the basis for your judgment?"
Zeng Yongshan's question immediately reminded me that Li Shusheng also asked me the same question, what is the basis for my judgment of the future?
However, my only argument is that I am a regenerate. No one will believe this.
So I smiled calmly and said three words to Zeng Yongshan: "By feeling." ”
Zeng Yongshan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Me too." When I built a beverage factory, I was in debt, and I had to produce any black rice juice, but it was also based on feelings. Well, I'll consider your suggestion. ”
"Oh yes, I almost forgot, and I'm going to show you something." As he spoke, Zeng Yongshan took out a newspaper from his purse and said, "Look, it's well written." ”
When I looked, there was a half-page page in the newspaper introducing Yongshan Food's enthusiasm for the education of children in the motherland, and every bottle of Black General Drink produced would give a love to the Hope Project.
"Look here." Zeng Yongshan pointed to the last line of the report, where there was a reporter's signature, the first name I don't know, it may be a genuine reporter, and the second is an intern reporter Liu Lili.
"Hehe, Brother Zeng, to be honest, how much did you spend on this report?" I asked with a smile.
"It's not much, in fact, I took two months to buy a front-page newspaper advertisement, and they helped me do this report for free. The report itself doesn't cost money, it's just an exchange of conditions, which is called a win-win, haha. ”
Zeng Yongshan showed a smug look on his face, and then said with deep understanding: "I kind of understand, what kind of press conference is held, it's all false." With that money, it's better to negotiate with the newspaper to give as much advertising as you want, how much news you do, the best of both worlds, and save money and worry. ”
I can't help but be impressed by Zeng Yongshan, only half a year later, he has changed from a small township entrepreneur who is ignorant and ignorant and can't even speak Mandarin well, and the black chicken has become a phoenix. Today's Zeng Yongshan, with his extraordinary learning ability and understanding, has gradually revealed the head of a large business owner.
So I said, "Congratulations to Mr. Zeng, you have realized the true scriptures." ”
Zeng Yongshan laughed and said: "Where do I have a brother who is so powerful, you predict the future at every turn." ”
"Hey, that's right," Zeng Yongshan suddenly changed his words and asked, "Zhou Xu, I heard that you know Li Shusheng?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Yes, he is the father of one of my classmates. Mr. Zeng, do you know him too?"
Zeng Yongshan shook his head and said: "I can't talk about acquaintance, but I just had a one-sided friendship." But you just said it was the father of your classmate? Hehe, I'm afraid it's not just classmates, right?"
