Yang Xuan suddenly became excited when he heard that he was talking about a shop.
"Okay, let's go see the shop now and find craftsmen to start remodeling. The shopkeeper Zhou will make arrangements for the tables and chairs. If they are really too busy, we will find a few more carpenters."
This area to the east and north of the city is either the royal palace or the Duke's palace. Going east after Tongji Street is the imperial city.
The shop is on Shiyong Street, and the location is quite good, but this area belongs to Shangyuan County.
After looking at the shop, I saw that the structure was very good, with two floors. Although it was a little smaller than the one on Zhuque Street, it was enough to hold thirty or forty tables.
Seeing Yang Xuan nodding his head, Guan Yunrong asked in confusion: "Actually, I'm not very optimistic about this place. After all, the people living here are all of high status. How could they treat your 20 cents for a bowl?"
Are you interested in fried noodles?"
She learned the word "interested" from Yang Xuan, but she was right. People here are money-hungry people. If you give them coupons, recharge cards, etc., they won't even think about it.
Just don't care.
You pay twenty cents for a bowl of noodles and you want a discount? We can't afford to lose that person.
And it is impossible to queue up to eat this fried noodles like ordinary people, covered in sweat.
Yang Xuan said: "That's a good analysis, is there anything else?"
Guan Yunrong was completely unaware of this attitude of superiors towards subordinates, and continued: "Besides, we are a chain store, the prices cannot be changed, and the decoration must be upscale, otherwise people will not even come in."
"Very good, very good." Yang Xuan nodded appreciatively and said, "Everything you said is right, but there is one thing you have overlooked, and that is the issue of brand image."
"Brand?"
For Guan Yunrong, this is another new term.
"Yes, it is our signature of extremely delicious food. Think about it, if a prince or a prince comes to our place and eats a bowl of noodles, then we can publicize that such a prince and a prince have eaten it.
When ordinary people hear that our noodles are eaten by kings and princes, can they be any worse? For only twenty pennies, you can eat what kings and princes eat. Do you think it’s attractive enough?
?”
Yang Xuan's words made Guan Yunrong's eyes light up: "Yes, I didn't expect that our Guan family gradually developed because of the silk and satin we made, which was appreciated by the nobles in the palace.
.”
"That's the truth." Yang Xuan said: "Our store is called an image store. It should be decorated more luxuriously and grandly, and the waiters should be good-looking, so as to attract the princes and princes to come in as much as possible."
"Image shop?"
Okay, it's another new vocabulary. Guan Yunrong feels that she has learned more in a few days with Yang Xuan than she has learned in several years at home.
"That's right, it's an image store. In a word, it's the kind of store that's decorated so that most people would think it's expensive at first sight and wouldn't dare to come in."
"The ground must be paved with bluestone slabs, and the bluestone slabs must be polished so brightly that they can make people's silhouettes shine through. The shop assistants must also select all beautiful women, and they must be well-dressed. Think about it, standing at the door
There are two rows of young and beautiful women. Whenever anyone comes in, these guests will bow together, say welcome, and then lead the guests to sit down at the table. Next, according to the process, all services must be done in place. In short, this is
In a word, the pomp and circumstance should be sufficient to make people feel flattered."
Yang Xuan talked eloquently, and Guan Yunrong on the side was stunned: "I didn't expect that Mr. Yang was a frequent visitor to the fireworks place on the Qinhuai River at such a young age, and he borrowed their hospitality methods.
"
Yang Xuan was suddenly stunned.
"It's not me, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." No matter so much, let's first deny it three times.
"How could I go to that kind of place?" Yang Xuan said and suddenly realized: "Speaking of which, as a daughter, how could Miss Guan know that a brothel treats guests like this?"
"Well……"
Guan Yunrong blushed and said coyly: "I heard that the women in brothels are quite gorgeously dressed, and I wanted to go in and see if there is anything worth learning from."
"Oh? Then how did you get in?"
Yang Xuan continued to ask. In fact, he didn't want to ask more questions, but he just wanted to take the opportunity to turn the topic to Guan Yunrong, so as to save him from saying that he had been to a brothel or something.
"I... I naturally put on a disguise and went in."
"disguise?"
Yang Xuan glanced down slightly and thought to himself, at this scale, no matter how disguised it is, it's impossible for others to miss it.
Although his movements were hidden, Guan Yunrong still noticed them, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed in her heart, how could this man be so rude.
But then she thought that she still had something that attracted Yang Xuan.
After all, during this period of contact, this Yang Xuan has been like a wooden man, as if there is no distinction between men and women in his eyes. Although he observes etiquette, he basically treats himself as a man when working.
Eh? No.
What did he mean by that glance just now?
Do you mean you doubt my ability to disguise myself?
Huh, I'll dress up like a young master tomorrow and scare him.
In any case, the dispute was finally settled, and the two of them turned the topic to business matters in a tacit understanding.
"In short, we use all methods to attract those princes and princes to come into our noodle shop to eat noodles. As long as the food is delicious, he will come again and serve him happily, and he has established a relationship with these princes and princes.
, there will only be advantages and no disadvantages in the future.”
"You are right. We who are doing business will inevitably have to deal with the government. If we can get along well with the prince, it will naturally bring a lot of convenience."
The two reached an agreement, and the Shiyong Street Image Store began preparations for decoration.
At the same time, according to Yang Xuan, we need to find other stores as soon as possible. Currently, the northwest, southwest and southeast areas of Yingtianfu are still blank, and branches must be opened as soon as possible.
It doesn’t have to be a big shop, it can be smaller, as long as it can hold a dozen or twenty tables. It should cover all areas as much as possible, so that there is a delicious noodle shop on every street.
In response, Guan Yunrong rolled her eyes. This Yang Xuan really didn't understand the slightest bit of compassion.
Just when they were discussing the development route, something happened to the main store on Zhuque Street.
Just when it was time for dinner, a group of fans rushed into the store and chased away all the people waiting in line for dinner.
Fanzi are actually eunuchs, a new department set up by the emperor called the Police Department, whose main responsibility is to monitor the actions of officials and investigate the gossip trends of the people.
To put it simply, it is a secret service agency.
Fanzi belongs to the lowest level of staff in this organization, which is basically composed of eunuchs.
One of the leading fans said in a strange voice: "Someone reported that you were secretly issuing money here, let me search it."
