I told the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in Liaozhai again, and Fang Ling was so excited. I haven't heard such a touching story for a long time. Seeing Fang Ling so happy made me very happy.
I have no relatives in this world, so to have such a sister makes me feel that God has treated me well.
I suddenly remembered what I just talked about in "The Legend of White Snake". Could this Fang Ling be Le Lingshan's previous life?
Being with Fang Ling, there is no pressure at all, you can relax your body and mind, and your nerves are completely relaxed, unlike in the palace, where you have to be careful everywhere.
At this time, the sun sets in the west. Looking from a distance, the color of the clouds next to the setting sun changes very quickly. Sometimes it is lily, sometimes golden, sometimes half purple and half yellow, now half gray and half red, and in the blink of an eye, it changes again.
It has turned red sandalwood, and it is really colorful and ever-changing. The shape of the clouds is also constantly changing, sometimes like balls of cotton, sometimes like waves on the river, sometimes like thousands of horses galloping, this change seems very natural and rapid.
And strange.
I saw the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the water. The lake was golden and sparkling, as if magical little stars were shining on the water. I saw the setting sun shining on Fang Ling, full of youthful vitality and the light of the setting sun.
They are intertwined and beautiful, and there is no feeling like dusk at all.
"Brother, I'm hungry. Please treat me to a meal."
"Well, Ling'er, what do you want to eat?"
"Let's go to Tonglelou, I like the food there."
"Okay, I will follow Ling'er's will and march towards Tongle Tower."
We turned the boat around and headed towards Tongle Building.
As I rowed, I hummed the nursery rhyme: Let us swing the oars, and the boat will push away the waves...
Fang Ling, who was next to me, heard me humming a song and asked, "Brother, what song are you singing? Why haven't I heard it before? Did you read it from an ancient book?"
Fang Ling asked three questions in a row, which made me laugh out loud: "Ling'er is really smart, can you guess the origin of this song? Does it sound good?"
"It sounds good, but I feel like the words and the tone are weird."
"Haha, let me teach you."
I slightly modified the lyrics and sang: Let us row the oars, the boat pushes away the waves, the lake reflects the beautiful Leifeng Tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls, the boat floats gently in the water, blowing in the face.
With the cool wind blowing, we faced the setting sun. The sun shone on the lake. The fish in the water looked at us and quietly listened to our happy singing.
Fang Ling is really full of energy. After listening to me sing it twice, she already learned it all. When she started singing by herself, Fang Ling's voice was clear and round, which was many times better than my broken voice.
For a moment, this beautiful and beautiful sound was left in the lake, like the singing of orioles and the sound of orioles coming out of the valley, which was enough to make people wander around for three days.
Before arriving at Tongle Building, I saw many people gathered in front of the door, reading several lines of large characters on a notice board, and the onlookers were talking about it.
"What does this mean? What is a discount card?"
“There are discounts with this card.”
"Any time you come, no limit to the number of people."
After reading it, I immediately understood that this is a common promotion method used by modern restaurants, which is to issue so-called discount cards.
"Has it already happened in this era?" I thought to myself.
"Ling'er, have you heard of this kind of discount card?"
"Brother, this is the first time I've heard of it too."
I turned around and asked, "Sir, you have traveled extensively and have seen a lot. Have you heard of it?"
Yuan Ji said: "Sir, this is the first time I have heard of it."
"The person who can come up with this idea must be a business wizard." I said to myself and walked in with the three of them.
Yuan Ji and Xiao Qi sat at a table next to them as usual.
After Fang Ling finished ordering, I said to the waiter: "Brother, where can I get this discount card?"
"Sir, the discount card can be applied for in the Tianzi room in the private room of this building."
"Then who noticed this discount card?"
"Hui Gongzi means Mr. Xiao Tian, the young master of this building."
"Really?" I handed the guy a piece of broken silver and said, "Can you invite your young master to come and meet me?"
The boy took the broken silver and said with a smile: "Here, my young master is very busy, but I can help him go and ask. Thank you for the reward."
"When you met your young master, you said that this discount card is not comprehensive enough. Okay, it's okay. You can go."
Fang Ling saw that I seemed to care about this discount card and said, "Brother, do you want to apply for this card?"
"This card comes second. I want to meet Mr. Xiao Tian who came up with this idea. You all said that this is the first time you have seen this kind of card, so I think this Xiao Tian must have some ability, and my Shifeng Trading Firm just lacks it.
A capable shopkeeper."
"Oh, that's the time to meet."
As I expected, it didn't take long before I saw the waiter leading a young man over. The young man was in his early twenties and looked gentle and well-mannered, but there was a hint of arrogance on his face.
The guy introduced me: "Sir, this is my young master Xiao Tian."
I cupped my fists and said, "Mr. Xiao."
The waiter said again: "Master, this young master is the one who wants to see you."
Xiao Tian unceremoniously sat on a stool next to me, his face darkened, and he said to me straight to the point: "Excuse me, what's wrong with my discount card?"
I knew that the clerk had conveyed my words to Xiao Tian, and said with a smile: "Master Xiao's discount card is the first of its kind to launch a promotion, and it will definitely be passed down forever, but there are still areas that need improvement."
Xiao Tian asked: "What is promotion?"
"Promotion means promoting buying and selling. I call buying and selling sales, so it's called promotion."
Xiao Tian nodded slightly and said with a slightly better expression: "Oh. Master, please give me some advice on the areas that need improvement."
"Tongle Building is positioned as a high-end restaurant, and it should have the style of a high-end restaurant. This not only refers to the restaurant itself, but also refers to the guests who spend money here. So for this first point, I think the discount card can be renamed as a VIP card.
Only in this way can we show the dignity of the guest. Secondly, when applying for this card, the number of people must be limited, or when announcing it to the outside world, it must be restricted, so as to show the value of this card. Not everyone can apply for it. Thirdly, when applying for this card,
You need to pay a certain fee when using the card, let’s call it a membership fee. The purpose of these points is to make the guests feel that it is not easy to have this VIP card. I call this method the hunger sales method.”
After hearing this, Xiao Tian was stunned for a while and then said: "Sir, I would like to ask you first what is positioning and what is the hunger sales method?"
I saw that Xiao Tian's attitude was getting better and better, and I knew that although this person was conceited, he still had the courage to accept new things. This kind of person is a talent that can be created. I smiled and said: "Simply speaking, the position is for you.
The location of the restaurant is determined by whether it is high-end, mid-range or low-end. As for the hunger sales method, it means that it clearly has the goods, but deliberately pretends that the supply is insufficient. These problems are simple to say, but in fact they are not a few words.
I can explain it clearly."
Xiao Tian thought for a while and suddenly shouted: "Brother, come here and get a pair of cups and chopsticks. I want to treat this young man to a good drink."
"I'm coming."
When the boss calls, the boy will naturally run fast.
Xiao Tian filled both me and Fang Ling's glasses with wine, and then he poured some wine himself and said, "Xiao Tian, I am the owner of Tong Le Building. May I ask what your surname is?"
"My name is Huyan Zhaoxu, and my courtesy name is Donghai."
"It turns out it's Mr. Huyan. I'd like to propose a drink to both of you. Let's do it first as a token of respect." Xiao Tian finished his drink in one gulp.
Fang Ling and I picked up the wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
"Mr. Huyan, I thought that this discount card was unique and unprecedented. I didn't expect that Mr. Huyan had a higher view. I am ashamed and admired."
Fang Ling smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao Tian, my brother's opinions are involved in all walks of life, and he can stand alone. You will know in the future."
Xiao Tian's arrogance disappeared from his face at this time, and he said: "Master Huyan, I just took over Tongle Building from my father the day before tomorrow, and I want to make this building the best restaurant around the West Lake. I don't know what you have in mind.
Can you give me some advice?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know how to build the best restaurant around West Lake."
Xiao Tian looked at me with disappointment and said, "Master, don't you want to teach me?"
