Chapter 72: The Celebration Banquet (I)

There is a shop at the end of the west end of Yuhua Lane that has just changed hands, which was originally a fur business, but Jinling is located in the southeast, the climate is pleasant, and the time for wearing fur is very short every year, so the business of this shop has not been sluggish.

The original owner wanted to transfer the store many times, but he was finally reluctant, and this year he finally made up his mind to drop the store and return to his hometown to retire.

The reason for his decision was the promotion of Yuhua Lane this year, and the Yuhua Lane Management Committee had also approached him before, hoping that the fur shop could participate in the promotion, but he refused on the grounds that "the profit margin of the fur is too low to participate in the discount sales".

To put it bluntly, he has no confidence in the newly established management committee and the so-called pre-holiday sales activities, let alone interest.

But what happened later was much more than he expected, not only the promotional activities were extremely popular, but the organizational ability of the Yuhua Lane Management Committee was also very good, and when he reacted, he had already regretted it.

Seeing that other stores were selling big and making a lot of money, and their own fur shops were naturally abandoned by customers because they were not in this special sale.

Under the repeated blows, the boss finally made up his mind to sell the store out, and he didn't want to suffer this kind of splint anymore.

But the end of the year is approaching, and it is not easy to shop at this time.

No matter who takes over the store, it can't be opened a year ago, and the landlord pays an extra two months of rent, how can there be such a stupid person;

Just when the owner of the fur shop was at a loss, someone took the initiative to find him and proposed to buy his shop.

Suddenly he felt that "there is great love in the world", and with gratitude, the negotiations went very smoothly, and the boss made a lot of concessions, and finally the old store only received a symbolic transfer fee of 8,000 taels.

On the evening of December 26, the fur shop owner quietly left Yuhua Lane with his wife, two sons, and three men, without saying hello to any of his neighbors.

The reason why I chose to leave at night is to avoid the crazy neighbors who have been promoted until the end of the day, so as to avoid both embarrassment and touching the sad place.

The new owner of the store, surnamed Xu, is a gentle fifty-year-old man, he is not in a hurry to drive the fur shop owner's family away, and said that he can let the fur shop owner's family live until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month before moving.

However, the owner of the fur shop didn't want to stay in the sad place of Yuhua Lane for one more day, so he specially picked the day before the celebration banquet in Yuhua Lane and left, and since then his life has made a break with Yuhua Lane.

Since the owner of the fur shop moved away, Xu Jiuye and Li Mao immediately started to relocate, after all, they have lived in Jiming Temple for a long time, and they have long wanted to move out of here, even if the store environment under the new plate is poor, it is their own home, and Xu Jiuye can't wait to move over.

Of course, Li Mao and the Xu family agreed to Xu Jiuye's arrangement, and they didn't want to celebrate the New Year in the temple this year, they didn't even have meat to eat for several months, and they all became weak.

Li Mao and the others packed up all day, packed up four large and small belongings, and prepared to move to Yuhua Lane immediately, most of these things were purchased after coming to Jinling.

On December 27, the sale of Yuhua Lane was still hot, and it was impossible to drive four carts into Yuhua Lane during the day, so Li Mao and Xu Jiuye had to wait until after dark to move.

Jinling City was very large, and it was difficult to convey information, but Donglu Hou sent a steward and eight servants to help Li Mao and them relocate, saving them a lot of trouble.

The Marquis of Donglu is a national candidate, the ancestor of Donglu Hou made great contributions in the Song Dynasty, and was named the marquis of hereditary succession, and accompanied the dynasty until now, and is one of the staunch supporters of the royal family.

This generation of Dongluhou did not know why he believed in Buddhism, and when he came to Jiming Temple to offer incense, he met Li Mao and Xu Jiuye, and the two sides chatted quite closely, and soon became friends.

This time, Xu Jiuye was able to smoothly dispose of the fur shop in Yuhua Lane, and Dongluhou contributed a lot from it, and when he moved, Dongluhou's people were also busy and passed on the news in time, so as to ensure that Li Mao and his party rushed to Yuhua Lane in time after the market closed in the evening of Yuhua Lane, so that they would not move in the middle of the night.

Tonight, Yuhua Lane is closed a quarter of an hour earlier than usual, and I heard that the owners and shopkeepers of each shop are going to hold a celebration banquet in Yuhua Lane, and the guys of each shop are also allowed to drink and celebrate that night.

When Li Mao's convoy drove into Yuhua Lane from the west entrance, Yuhua Lane was closed, and the street became extremely quiet, but there was a faint sound of drinking and feasting in various shops.

Li Mao and Xu Jiuye have been studying and observing in Yuhua Lane these days, so they naturally know that the theme of Yuhua Lane tonight is to celebrate.

But they took down the shop late and didn't catch up with the celebration banquet in Yuhua Lane tonight, but the good environment and atmosphere here still made Li Mao and Xu Jiuye feel excited, and such a place is really a happy land for businessmen.

......

The Vientiane Building is full of people, most of the guests have been in place, all kinds of water and wine, snacks have already been arranged, and the temporary stage on the second floor of the Vientiane Building also has a variety of juggling performances to help the fun, but it does not seem boring.

The shopkeepers and shopkeepers greeted each other, and many of the famous but never met Yuhua Lane leaders took this opportunity to get to know each other today, and they all sighed that the celebration banquet was held in time.

While everyone greeted each other and chatted, their eyes glanced at the door of the Vientiane Building from time to time, and everyone was waiting for a person to appear, many people here had not yet met him, but he had long been known and admired the business miracle he led.

Few of the people who came today were here for dinner, and most of them came to see and get acquainted with this legendary business wizard.

The last rays of sunlight on the horizon closed in the sky, and the sky appeared instantly dim, as if the sky and the earth were darkened all of a sudden, although the lights in the Vientiane Building were bright, but the world outside had been dominated by the night.

"Well, it seems to be late. "Everyone was a little disappointed that the main host of today's banquet was supposed to arrive before sunset, but he did not show up in time, much to the disappointment of the guests.

At this time, a gong suddenly sounded on the stage on the second floor, attracting everyone's attention, and I saw a dwarf who was only four feet two inches tall wearing red and green on the stage, beating gongs and drums.

Although the dwarf is small, it is agile, with short arms and legs, and can even turn its head around, and constantly scatter all kinds of colorful flowers as it goes.

It is said that at this time, although the weather in Jinling is not cold, there should not be so many flowers, but those flowers are delicate and fragrant.

A good deed person catches a flower, asks before taking it to his nose, and then rubs it with his hand, it turns out to be caused by silk silk, which is really vivid and lifelike.

When everyone was amazed by the creativity of flowers, a thin shopkeeper appeared on the stage on the second floor, looking a little fierce, with a hooked nose and high cheekbones, squinting, but wearing a brocade gown, but he looked extraordinary.

He came to the stage and made a square gesture, and waited for the voice of the venue to be a little quieter before he spoke: "All the neighbors and shopkeepers in Yuhua Lane, good evening." The little brother gray kite, as the chief minister of tonight's celebration banquet, hopes that everyone will eat, drink and have fun in Vientiane Building, and feel at home here. ”

"Okay!" The audience coaxed, some people who didn't know the gray kite, and after a little inquiry, they knew that he was the big shopkeeper of the Xuanji branch, and they also shouted hello.

Gray Kite arched his hand and said: "Thank you for today's support, today is the first time we have held a collective celebration banquet since the opening of Yuhua Lane, which is a grand event of epoch-making significance, and it is also the starting point of creating a new atmosphere in Yuhua Lane."

Today, we should first thank the 'Yuhua Lane Management Committee' for organizing this conference, it is they who have built this platform, so that we have the opportunity to unite as one, work together and participate in the grand event!"

Warm applause rang out, and many people recognized it very much.

"Secondly, we would like to thank all of you with foresight and wisdom for giving up your past grievances and working together.

It is time for Yuhua Lane to change, and all of us here are the pioneers of this change, applauding our wise choice again!"

The applause rose again, and many people began to figure out the meaning of the gray kite's words, and they thought it was true.

"Once again, we would like to thank the leaders who have provided all kinds of material support and personnel help for this conference, and Vientiane Tower, Lion King's Mansion and Phoenix Terrace will cooperate for the first time to present a gluttonous feast for everyone tonight. ”

Wanfeng trembled with excitement and burst into tears behind the stage on the second floor, once upon a time the Vientiane Building could be compared with the Lion King's Mansion and Phoenix Terrace, and even the name was still in front of them.

Wanda and Mrs. Wan were also excited, the two stood around Wanfeng, Wanda patted her son's shoulder to show encouragement, and Mrs. Wan was holding her son's arm and sobbing with him.

The proprietors and shopkeepers of the Lion King's Mansion and Phoenix Terrace poked their heads out from the fourth floor and waved to everyone, which was cheered and thanked by the guests, making them feel very honored.

Gray Kite paused for a moment, and then said: "There are a lot of people who need to be thanked today, and we will report their names to everyone one by one in the future!

This is the Yuhua Lane famous shop Baihuafang launched a new product - 'Thousand Day Flowers', Baihuafang is famous for its silk and perfume business, and this time it has developed a new silk flower, which will surely create a new fashion trend.

Baihuafang has specially prepared a thousand-day bonsai for each participating shop today, which can be collected at Baihuafang after the meeting, let us applaud Baihuafang's innovative spirit and sharing spirit!"

The figure of the shopkeeper of Baihuafang appeared on the third floor, followed by the shopkeeper of his silk village and perfume shop, and the three of them waved to everyone excitedly, and the shopkeeper blushed because of his excitement.

I didn't expect to take the initiative to get closer to the Yuhua Lane Management Committee, and there was such an opportunity to show my face, and on the first day of the new product's launch, I could get the opportunity to show it in front of all the bosses of Yuhua Lane, where to find such an advertising effect?

When the owner of Baihuafang was immersed in the longing of the new product to sell well, the owners and shopkeepers of many stores did not notice the color change.

Yuhua Lane Management Committee, no, it should be said that the Xuanji branch is too powerful, it has integrated some stores in Yuhua Lane in such a short period of time, and can also borrow resources in hand to promote it, if all the integration is completed, what kind of situation will it be?
