Chapter 75 Early Preparation
Being three points short when meeting an official seems to be the subconscious reaction of most ordinary people.
Zhao Jin and Cao Jianjun are the two.
Although what was done on the wine table was just the section chief, not the director or director.
Besides, there is a saying that goes, "If you are not an emperor, you don't know how small an official is, and if you are not a demon, you don't know how rich you are."
The section chief was just a minor official in the imperial capital, but he still made the two of them feel great pressure.
My hands trembled, my mouth trembled, I wanted to raise my glass to toast, but I didn’t dare.
I feel like I am a mouse, but now I have entered the cat's nest, and I feel uncomfortable no matter what.
Taken and speechless, this is the current state of these two people.
"Your friend..." Cao Jianjun quietly pushed Zhao Jin with his elbow.
At this time, Zhang Yuan was like a fish in water. Within half an hour, everyone was able to mingle with each other. While changing glasses of wine, they talked about the house prices in the imperial capital and the secrets of the crew.
After talking about several beautiful actresses in particular, all the gentlemen at the table became excited, listening to Zhang Yuan's boastful talk alone, as if it had become his home court.
“I didn’t know he was so powerful. When I had dinner with him before, it was quite casual. I thought he was just like us, an ordinary young man who had never seen the world.”< br>
"You almost believed what you said, thinking that he got ahead because of some ability and good luck." Cao Jianjun glanced enviously at Zhang Yuan, who was drinking with his arm around someone else's shoulder: "I think he has some luck. , but not much, we still have to rely on strength.”
“We can’t handle this kind of situation anyway.”
As a friend who came with Zhang Yuan, it is impossible not to drink.
After half a bottle of Wuliangye, Zhao Jin's face was red, his eyes were wide open, he sat on the chair, breathing heavily, and became motionless.
Obviously I can still drink a lot when I drink Niu Er, but when I got to the banquet I felt nervous, so I drank a few glasses of wine and got drunk.
Cao Jianjun is better. He joined the army after graduating from junior high school. After his experience in the army, he has a good drinker.
You must know that the place where you drink wine is not a small wine cup, but a big tea vat!
The military atmosphere in the 1980s and 1990s was different from that of later generations, and drinking was very intense.
This man’s family conditions were not good since he was a child. He was small and joined the army early. He could not keep up with the training from the beginning, and his physical performance was at the bottom of the class.
After joining the army and training, the squad leader saw that he was pitiful and transferred him to the cooking class.
This was not a good match, but he discovered his talent as a chef.
There was no shortage of food and drink in the cooking class. I quickly became stronger and my life was quite happy.
Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time and soon ran into the 97 disarmament.
The Chinese army has carried out a total of 11 major disarmaments, including four million-level disarmament in 57, 75, 82 and 85.
While the 1990 Gulf War opened the world's eyes, it also made China's top leaders understand that times have changed, and the future will be a world of information-based warfare.
Therefore, from 1997 to 2000, 500,000 troops were reduced in three years to make way for the future transformation of "high-quality, sophisticated and sophisticated" troops.
Cao Jianjun's troops became a grain of sand in this 500,000-strong army, but for him personally, this change was as heavy as a mountain.
Fortunately, he has the skill of cooking, and he inherited the hard-working style of the Chinese army. After retiring from the army, he worked as a security guard, a waiter, and an actor in armor. Finally, he saved money and opened this stall. .
Although I can drink, my mouth is very clumsy, and I am very stiff when I greet him.
I stood up, raised my glass at a loss, and held it for a long time without saying a word. Then I hung my neck and drank it all in one gulp, which shocked everyone at the banquet.
The banquet was deliberately delayed by Zhang Yuan. It lasted for four or five hours, and everyone was drunk before saying goodbye one by one.
After seeing off the guests, he came to the curb and handed cigarettes to the two men who were leaning on the fire hydrant.
"These are people from the HD area."
"Do you know why we invite people from Haidian to dinner?"
The two drunkards shook their heads with difficulty.
Zhang Yuan was completely confused: "Beiying Film Studio is in Haidian!"
"Sober up tomorrow, go find an agent with me, rent a store, and say goodbye to Beiying Film Studio It’s too far and it’s convenient for business.”
"I remember that after I opened the store, I always kept a few cartons of cigarettes, and they were scattered during the inspection."
"Aren't we all treating guests today? Do we need to take care of them?" Zhao Jin's stingy energy came back again.
“You can take care of me for a lifetime with just one meal?”
“Besides, the King of Hell is easy to mess with, and the kid is difficult to deal with, you know?”
“Even if we have friendship, , I have to give him some benefits from time to time." Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and looked at the cigarette butt in his hand.
"One more thing, remember to prepare cigarettes that are not too good. Don't prepare expensive cigarettes like Ruanzhonghua that cost dozens of yuan per pack. They can easily be slaughtered like pigs."
"Don't take red plums either. Beidaihe's deception is easy to be resented by others."
"Prepare some of Zhongnanhai and Yuxi's level, not above or below, but good enough."
"I know... "Zhao Jin and Cao Jianjun looked at each other. They didn't expect that there was so much detail in taking a cigarette break.
However, after the banquet just now, the two of them were less suspicious of Zhang Yuan's words and nodded in agreement.
The next preparations went smoothly. The shop was rented. Zhang Yuan helped the two of them apply for various documents and listened to many of their complaints.
“It’s so troublesome to open a small shop. Not only do we have to get through the relationship, but we also have to apply for so many certificates. I think some shops don’t have certificates, so they can’t open well.”
“ When you have a wife in the future, don’t get a marriage certificate, and when your wife takes the money and runs away with someone else, don’t cry out.”
Zhang Yuan responded to Zhao Jin with just one sentence.
When communicating with knowledgeable and educated people, you can just use subtle reasoning. To deal with rough guys like them, you have to use vulgar metaphors to get straight into people's hearts.
"Every account has been recorded clearly for me. I will find a professional accountant to settle the accounts and pay taxes according to the amount. No fake invoices are allowed!"
These two people have a serious say...
This will cost a lot of profits!
But recently I followed Zhang Yuan around and saw that these two people were unable to find their way. Things that were deeply troublesome were completely insignificant to him.
The two of them could only nod in agreement, not daring to disobey at all.
“Also, the store decoration does not leave a lobby, nor does it leave individual seats, and does not accept individual customers, only orders.”
“Ah, you won’t miss a lot of business!” Cao Jianjun frowned reluctantly.
“Individuals only make a little money, but it is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, and you have to prepare a lot of materials.”
“The order business is much simpler, and the costs are easier to control.”
Zhang Yuan worked in the construction field for so many years in his previous life, and he knew that doing business and being a human being were exactly the opposite.
As a person, you have to be knowledgeable about the past and the present. You don’t seek to be profound, but seek to be broad and knowledgeable. You can talk to anyone.
When doing business, remember to be greedy for too much, greedy for too much, and be sure to delve deeply into a single field.
There are countless large companies that started a lot of side businesses after making money, and eventually the capital chain broke and went bankrupt. The fear is that they want to do all kinds of business and are not good at any business.
And the restaurant industry is different from other industries.
In ancient times, if you dared to open a large restaurant with four guise, the lobby and kitchen must be large on one side, otherwise it will be too busy after it is full of guests.
The shop Zhang Yuan rented was not big, and he worked as a chef. He could arrange lunch boxes for hundreds of people.
But if you still want to be an individual traveler, the size of the shop must be increased by at least 30%, and the cost will skyrocket.
Zhang Yuan explained to them in detail, and the two just reluctantly agreed.
In the end, they still doubted whether Zhang Yuan could bring enough orders, fearing that they would be idle and want to earn more subsidized rent.
Zhang Yuan then led the two of them to the second-hand car market in the suburbs, and spent 30,000 yuan to buy a Songhuajiang Noodle with a mileage of 50,000 kilometers, which made the two of them extremely painful.
The store hasn't even been opened yet, and the money spent is tens of thousands, which scared the two of them.
Cao Jianjun learned to drive in the army, and he can handle Dongfeng big trucks with ease, let alone this small car.
It took more than half a month to get everything ready, and then...
The two of them were stupid.
The courtyard was deserted and there were no birds or birds.
Three days after opening the store, there was not a single order for one person. The two of them were so anxious that they felt uncomfortable and paced back and forth in the store.
"I just said to put some tables and chairs to accommodate individual customers, at least there will be some income." Cao Jianjun stamped his feet anxiously.
"Zhang Yuan is not fooling us...that's not right, it's all his money." Zhao Jin was also puzzled.
There was a lot of turmoil in the front, so why did it wilt as soon as it opened?
"I'll call Zhang Yuan and ask!"
On the other end, Zhang Yuan, who received a call from Zhao Jin, was on his way to a banquet.
After hearing what Zhao Jin said, he didn't take it seriously.
“I’ll let you familiarize yourself with the store in advance, so why worry.”
“Have a good rest tonight and keep your spirits up. Starting tomorrow, you two will have no chance to rest.”
Without waiting for the other party to say more, Zhang Yuan hung up the phone and rushed to the restaurant.
It was a coincidence that yesterday, he received a call from Yang Tao asking him to have dinner together.
The attendees happened to be people from the entertainment industry.
This saved him a meal of begging for guests...
