Chapter 152 I have a date with football (2)
“Second guy, you’re awesome.”
At eight or nine o’clock that night, Azu came back from outside. He couldn't wait to pour a glass of water to drink. While drinking water, he walked around the second brother who was lying on the sofa and said. The business of the tea restaurant was pretty good during the festival today. The second brother was very tired and said perfunctorily: "You, second brother, have many things that I am good at. Which one are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about your lunch." That's an idea." Azu took another sip of water before gasping.
As soon as he said this, the second guy stopped feeling sleepy. He jumped up on the sofa and said, "Baby, you have the nerve to talk about what happened at noon. We all had our heads blown thinking about it. Where are you?" After eating the watermelon, he stepped on the watermelon rind and disappeared." The more he talked about it, the more excited he became.
Azu explained with a shy face: "Second brother, you are a big buckwheat guy. You don't need me to plan these things, so I can't express my opinions easily, but I ran a lot this afternoon. Place, after my investigation, I can now tell you loudly that your idea was stolen.”
It turns out that Azu has been out investigating the situation (shopping) this afternoon, and he is enough. After playing (research) for an entire afternoon, I hurried home and expressed my conclusion. The second guy got even angrier when he heard this, "What do you mean? What the hell are you stealing?"
"Needless to say Western restaurants like Green Foot, Monli Laro, and even Zhuji, Faji, Niu Remember, these food stalls have been decorated to attract fans to watch the World Cup. Forget it, the shabby herbal tea shop at the end of the street has two big TVs. You said your idea was not stolen Back?" Azu told what he saw and heard that afternoon, and finally questioned the second brother.
Lvqinjie, a chain of Western restaurants in Luyin Pavilion, was a very famous Western restaurant when I was a child. At the beginning of 2002, it was rated as one of the "Top 100 National Catering Enterprises" and also won the "Chinese Catering" award from the Chinese Cuisine Association. The title of "Famous Restaurant" can be said to be a benchmark in the western restaurant industry in Guangdong Province. Monte Carlo Western Restaurant is also a very famous Western restaurant, but its business is getting worse and worse. Several other food stalls are also well-known old stores in Xiguan.
The second guy was extremely anxious when he heard what Azu said. He stood up and walked around angrily: "Oh, boss, I told you a long time ago that you must have brand awareness. No. Be careful and someone else will copy it." The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became that such a good idea was actually done by someone else first.
"Second brother, you are serious. I am the one who cooks the dumplings on New Year's Eve. It means nothing new if you talk about it." Azu commented. Everyone is going into the store to watch the World Cup, which means that no one is doing it.
"No." Ayao disagreed with Azu. He said to the second brother: "I remember your slogan, which is to come to famous stores, drink famous wines, and watch famous teams play in the World Cup , It's very innovative. I also paid attention to what Azu said, but they just decorated it and didn't do it seriously at all."
The second guy nodded, feeling a little cold just now. His mood became excited again, "Yes, yes, they are just routine events like New Year and holidays. I want to make a fuss about the word 'name'. Why is there no new idea in this, Azu?"
Ah Zu was not convinced and blurted out a series of questions: "A famous store? Did you seal it yourself? Famous wine? Does your tea restaurant sell it to other people's stores? Is it a celebrity? Who is it? You?"
< br>Um. The second guy was speechless after being asked. He lowered his head and thought hard for a while. Suddenly he clapped his hands and said: "These are not problems. As long as we invite a celebrity to sit in the store, won't all these problems be solved?"
He stood up as he spoke. The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the more perfect his idea became. "That's right, that's right, the more I think about it, the more no problem there is. Our Ruhao Tea Restaurant can invite a football star to come back. Come to our tea restaurant, and How can football stars drink and watch the World Cup together?"
"Oh, it's cool. I even invited the rice dumpling seller. There's nothing new about it." Azu still shook his head, not optimistic. This idea, "People hang a very large photo of Milu next to the bucket selling rice dumplings. Is it useful? It's not just like that."
"So what about you, that grandma invited a photo? , But I want to invite a flesh-and-blood person to come back." The second brother said with his hands on his hips, "We used to have so many international players in Guangdong Province, but now that they have retired, they can watch football at home and come to our Ruhao Tea Restaurant to watch football. Look, you can still make money. I don’t believe that no one is willing.”
He is indeed a talented person with a business mind. In the 1980s, there was an explosion of football talent in Guangdong Province. Since the players from Guangdong Province were generally not physically advantageous, their style basically focused on short-pass penetration on the ground, flying from both wings, and through excellent dribbling skills and small-scale subtlety. Cooperation to create scoring opportunities is called southern football. These players account for half of the national team, and they also inject this style into the national team, creating what the media praised as "the most entertaining national team." However, in recent years, as players have become taller, Guangdong football has also lost its own characteristics, and southern football has gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
However, those representatives of southern football who have retired, those former national players, still have great influence and fame in Guangdong Province, especially the Guangfu area. If we can really invite someone to come to Ruhao Tea Restaurant to watch football and drink with everyone, then the business of Ruhao Tea Restaurant will definitely be so popular that it will open a branch in the same place.
"Speaking of the national football team, I know Dwarf Tiger Zhao Dayu." Azu's words made the bosses Guang Erlao and Ayao excited, and they directly surrounded Azu and asked him about the specific situation.
Zhao Dayu is a legendary star in Guangdong Province. When he scored the winning goal against Argentina in the Nehru Gold Cup in 1984, the eldest brother Guang was 24 years old, the second brother was 20 years old, Ayao was 16 years old, and Azu was 10 years old, so the four of them were die-hard fans of Zhao Dayu. I heard Azu was so excited when he said they met. Kang Qirui was only 6 years old at that time, and he would retire soon, so Kang Qirui watched the show relatively calmly. "It's not a direct acquaintance, but it's an indirect acquaintance." Azu said. "Indirect? How indirect?" Boss Guang asked.
"My middle school classmate's relative, who is a relative of my primary school classmate, knows him. I heard that he has returned from his childhood country." Azu said excitedly, but everyone did not give him the same treatment. I received feedback and everyone responded with a "cut" sound. Kang Qirui couldn't hold it in anymore and said with a smile: "You are too indirect, hahahahaha, if you say that, I know the President of the United States indirectly."
"That's right, you are too far-fetched. Come on." Ayao scolded Azu, and then said to Kang Qirui: "Arui, how come you know the President of the United States indirectly? You don't want to say that you know him through Diana."
< br>
"They say I'm far-fetched, but Rui is far-fetched. Diana doesn't know their president at all." Azu said that he fell to the ground and returned to the sand (that is, the spirit of Ah Q).
Kang Qirui could not tolerate him and started counting directly: "I know our principal, our principal knows the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education knows Comrade Zemin, and Comrade Zemin knows the President of the United States. According to the old man According to Si, I only know the President of the United States indirectly. My indirection is more direct than that of Si. "
Azu couldn't refute it now. He pretended to drink water to hide his embarrassment. The second guy waved his hands and said: "Forget it, it's better to have indirection than no indirection. Azu, you handle this line for me, and I'll take care of the other things." He directly assigned the task to Azu. , although Azu was stunned, how could he handle it even though he said it was indirect? But he still bit the bullet and agreed.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Zhang Yongfang came to Kang's house. Last night, Kang Qirui suddenly notified her to come over for a meeting, so she came over early. "Yongfang is here, have you had breakfast?" Mom asked after opening the door for Yongfang.
"I've eaten, thank you Aunt Kang. Are Ari and the others up?" Zhang Yongfang said politely and asked with a smile. "He's having breakfast, go find him." Mom replied.
When Kang Qirui saw Zhang Yongfang coming in, he asked her to wait for a while. After he quickly finished breakfast, he called the others to finish their breakfast and then went to the patio garden for a meeting. He first took Zhang Yongfang to make tea in the patio garden, drinking and waiting. Although Metersbonwe's headquarters in Guangfu is the majority shareholder, it is not entirely a branch, but a cooperation model with agents. Therefore, Metersbonwe's headquarters does not participate in the company's decision-making. The six people who directly or indirectly have shares in Guangfu Metersbonwe are Kang Qirui, Zhu Wanling, the second brother and second sister-in-law, Xingzi, and Zhang Yongfang.
Because they are all members of the Kang family, and Zhu Wanling has just given birth and her second sister-in-law is pregnant. Therefore, I didn't pay much attention to it, and the meeting was held directly at Kang's house. After a while, everyone was gathered, and Kang Qirui recounted the plan he had mentioned to Sachiko yesterday.
"If the national football team wins a game, America will refund the full amount?" Everyone, like Sachiko, was very surprised by this event plan. Kang Qirui saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, and he said confidently: "Seeing your surprised looks, I knew this event would be very successful."
"Huh?" No one was surprised. Understand.
“Even you are so surprised. Do you think that after we launch this event in the store, how will the passersby react? Will people who originally wanted to enter the store to buy things buy more? Will people who didn’t plan to buy it be tempted to go into the store and buy some clothes?” Kang Qirui explained to everyone: “Now is the season change, and many people have plans to buy it in these two months. New summer clothes, and the activities in our store are so powerful and attractive that they will definitely detonate the entire market.”
"Okay, okay, but if we really win, I'm afraid we will go bankrupt." The second sister-in-law said worriedly. Everyone knows that this event and the change of seasons will make business booming, but if it really happens, If you want a full refund, why don’t you lose everything? Zhang Yongfang also frowned and said: "We don't understand football anyway. I just want to ask Rui how sure you are that the national football team can't win? Not only can we not accept it if we win, but even if you get one point and half of it is refunded, we will also withdraw." "I'm sorry."
The second guy thought for a while, went to the living room to flip through a newspaper, pointed to the World Cup grouping situation above and analyzed it for everyone: "We definitely can't win Brazil. Turkey made it to the European Cup before. Not even the quarterfinals. Costa Rica Ari, do you think we can’t win against Costa Rica?”
I have to say that the current fans are still happy, and they actually dare to think about winning against Costa Rica. The fans of later generations will be miserable. Even Singapore dare not say that it is a guaranteed win. Facing the second brother's question, Kang Qirui nodded and said: "Brazil and Turkey have already been mentioned by the second brother. Let me talk about Costa Rica. They are not weak and have won several championships in Central and North America. We have won consecutive championships in Central and North America." We have never won an Asian championship. Regardless of their low reputation, we really can’t win. I can definitely say that not only can we not win these three teams, we can’t even get a point.”
He took a sip of tea and let everyone digest the information. After waiting for a while, he continued: "The worst case scenario is that the national football team is lucky and scores a goal, but that is only a 20% discount and 20% refund. In that case, we still have 5% profit, and we still make money. "
Seeing that Kang Qirui was sure, everyone agreed to the plan. In fact, there was nothing they could do if they disagreed. The combined shares of Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling were the absolute majority shareholders of Qingjin Clothing, and they could forcefully implement this activity. However, he still chose to discuss it with everyone, which meant that he gave Everyone saves face. Then everyone had to give him face. If the reasons were sufficient, they all nodded in agreement.
After the meeting, Zhang Yongfang and Sachiko went back to the company to work, while the two went back to the tea restaurant to prepare for the World Cup with celebrities and famous wines.
