Chapter 245: Flaws do not hide the faults
The packaging effect of these girls was somewhat beyond expectation, and it did bring some trouble to Ning Weimin.
And soon, this matter was also known to the company, and it inevitably became a joke among some people.
Even Huo Xin couldn't help but tell Ning Weimin this time.
"Manager, have you made a mistake? After spending so much money, you are making trouble for yourself. Now not only do we pay an extra 400 management fees to the park every month, but we also have to smoke every day. Isn’t it unfair to serve the people at the park management office?”
But don't say it, the injustice is a little unfair, but the red sleeve hoop represents some kind of authority after all.
After Ning Weimin spent the money, it was still very effective.
Since then, these security officers have been stationed in Zhai Palace to help guide tourists and maintain order.
Ning Weimin's exhibition hall was in order again, and no one of the girls dared to harass or provoke them.
So since the overall situation is still within control, it must be said that the flaws in this matter still outweigh the disadvantages.
Why are you so afraid of being treated as a joke by people in the company?
At least Zou Guodong was paralyzed and careless because of this.
For such an important improvement, Zou Guodong did not follow suit this time. Instead, he felt that Ning Weimin was taken advantage of.
This couldn't be better, and of course it increases Ning Weimin's chances of winning.
In addition, although the increase in passenger flow puts pressure on order, it also represents an increase in profits.
In the words of thirty years later, that is called traffic.
Isn’t this what Ning Weimin really wants.
So in order not to miss business opportunities, he immediately started upgrading the coffee shop.
Not only did the original ten sets of tables and chairs in the house increase to eighteen sets at once.
Two sets of tables and chairs were also placed outside, totaling twenty sets.
In addition, he replaced the old ordinary wooden chairs with rattan chairs and found someone to sew the cushions.
We also added tablecloths to each table, set up a newspaper rack, and provided daily newspapers and magazines for customers to read for free.
This small change, which only cost a little over a thousand, immediately improved the level of the cafe a lot.
And this is just the beginning.
Then he spent another 3,000 yuan to buy some Western-style tableware, teapots and bowls, and added a freezer and a refrigerator.
He even personally went to the Friendship Store to purchase tobacco, alcohol and imported food, and through Bian Jiangong purchased many cans and ice cream from "Polar Bear" at ex-factory prices.
To be honest, before this, the cafe in Zhai Palace only served as a substitute for the canteen selling snacks in the park. The only products sold are light coffee brewed with cheap coffee powder and creamer.
That is, soda, bread, popcorn, kola nuts, fish skin beans, beef jerky, grilled fish fillets, etc.
The name does not match the reality.
But things are very different now.
After Ning Weimin's efforts, both the business situation and the content have undergone substantial changes.
Let this place be completely transformed into a small bar that can sell Western-style cold meals, foreign tobacco and wine, hot and cold drinks and ice cream.
In addition to bottled beer, the drinks provided here also include domestic whiskey, Roma wine, Osk, brandy, Osmanthus Chen, red and white wine.
Class A cigarettes such as Zhonghua, Youyi, Peony, Daqianmen, Dachongjiu, and Phoenix are also available in ordinary stores outside.
There are even rare foreign trade cigarettes such as Liangyou and Sanwu.
In the soft drink category, in addition to "Polar Bear" soda, orange, loquat, pineapple, pomegranate, these concentrated juice blended juices, they also include foreign-style waters such as Coca-Cola and Fanta. In addition to cheap brewed coffee, hot drinks include chrysanthemum tea, jasmine tea and English black tea.
As for food, except for the original snacks, they will be retained.
Some melon seeds, peanuts, imported candies, as well as various fruits, canned meats, and ice cream from "Polar Bear" were also added.
Handmade cold meals are actually easy to prepare, and simple sandwiches are the best choice.
Something like this often only requires the skill of opening cans and chopping ingredients.
There is no need for a professional chef at all, the girls can learn it instantly.
The only key problem that needs to be solved is that there is no sliced toast available in China these days.
I have to say that one thing that Westerners who came to the Republic in the 1980s often complained about their diet was that the bread we produced was too unpalatable.
Isn’t it surprising? Who makes our bread always mixed with too many useless things?
Such as fruit ingredients, sugar, bean paste and jam...
For Westerners who regard bread as their staple food, this is no different from the Western-style Chinese food we see such as General Tso's Chicken and stir-fried chop suey. .
Fortunately, there are no absolutes. The milky white bread produced in Yili is not mixed with those messy things, which is a rare exception.
The characteristic of this kind of bread is that it is hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
It tastes a bit like steamed buns, but also has a milky taste, which is closer to the taste of Westerners
So when Ning Weimin found this thing, he felt that the problem was solved, and it was not inconsistent to use it as a substitute for toast.
In this way, when the milky white bread is sliced and then topped with onion rings, tomato slices, Russian pickle slices, deli meat and salad dressing, a sandwich is ready.
At most, it can be served with different snacks as side dishes, and the presentation can be beautiful.
Although the ham sandwiches, pork sausage sandwiches and luncheon meat sandwiches made in this way seem a bit homely, they are almost useless for entertaining real foreigners.
But after all, the gap is not big.
Moreover, our Chinese people’s understanding of Fancai (that is, Western food, Ning Weimin likes this old-school name, taught by Kang Shude) is quite limited, and it is enough to deal with domestic guests.
In short, this is a gorgeous turn.
When the renovation was completed, Ning Weimin naturally more than doubled the sales price of his products.
No one thought there was anything wrong, no customers raised any objections, and the majority of consumers accepted it all easily.
Why?
In fact, the reason is very simple. It is not because there are many rich people.
But because in this era, what is more scarce than wealthy people is a place with a bit of fun and a good place to have fun.
Ning Weimin accidentally created the first coffee bar in Beijing, which directly filled a gap in the market.
This place is not only full of exotic customs, but also has beautiful and delicious service with a smile from the girls.
There are also international big-name clothing in the showroom, as well as art sculptures from teachers and students of the Academy of Fine Arts.
To put it bluntly, this is simply a miniature 798 Art Zone.
Coupled with the garden environment of the Temple of Heaven Park and the majestic atmosphere of the Emperor's Palace, it is even more unparalleled.
How could young people not be attracted to this place?
