Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 724 The scene of the dinner party
I was assigned to a relatively front seat and sat down. Yu Ling sat next to me and saw that I seemed a little nervous, so she asked curiously: "Have you never seen such a big scene before? Why are you still nervous?" Woolen cloth?"

I smiled and said, "I seldom attend such high-level gatherings, and I usually avoid them. I'm not good at socializing! Besides, I think many people don't look right at me!"

Yu Ling covered her mouth and said with a smile: "They all thought you were my little boyfriend, so naturally they looked at you wrongly!"

I groaned and said, "With my appearance and my age, can people treat me like a bad boy?"

Yu Ling snorted and said, "Aren't you always confident in your appearance? Why are you suddenly humbled?"

I giggled and said, "My looks are outstanding among the general crowd, but look at the handsome guys here, they are all over 1 meters tall, not muscular, but powerful , even if I have plastic surgery, I won’t be able to look like someone else! I’m ashamed of myself!”

Yu Ling smiled and said, "Have you used all the idioms you know in your life?"

I looked at the cold dishes on the dining table and said, "This is the pre-dinner snack? Why are kelp and peanuts served here? It's a bit shabby!"

Yu Ling took a piece of kelp to my bowl and said, "Taste it before commenting, that's not peanuts, that's called ginseng fruit!"

I cut it, picked up the kelp and said, "My family also runs a restaurant, and my family also lives by the sea! This is not kelp..." I ate it in my mouth, only to find that the mouth melted, sweet, and a little umami. It's really delicious.

He hurriedly asked, "What on earth is this made of?"

Yu Ling explained: "This vegetarian kelp is made of several ingredients. All the ingredients in it are organic foods without any additives. They are absolutely pollution-free and natural ingredients without chemical fertilizers. Even they use The sugar used is xylitol, and the salt used is sea salt and non-iodized salt.”

I groaned and said, "So we're here to eat vegetarian food!"

Yu Ling smiled and said: "When you have money, you want to save your life. Isn't this normal? In the past, health was exchanged for money, but now it is money to buy health!"

I cut it and said, "Exercising more is better than anything else!"

With a sound of "ding", Weihua stood in front of his dining table, raised his glass and said, "Thank you for coming to this hotel. This hotel is a domestic hotel built by our Weihua Group with an investment of nearly 5 billion in 30 years. The largest island hotel at present. Our hotel is a comprehensive hotel integrating catering, vacation, tourism, leisure and entertainment. It is open to the public from May to October every year, and it is not yet open. Everyone is our island The first batch of tourists in the hotel, I hope that after this experience, if you think it is not bad, you can help me to do some promotion, I would like to thank you in advance!"

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.

I then picked up the wine glass, touched Yu Ling's wine glass and said, "Drink the glass!"

Yu Ling smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

After the dishes were served, I tried them out. It is true that all the dishes are organic and green food, and they are very finely prepared, but the taste is a little bit worse.Sometimes you are used to counterfeit products, and then use genuine products, but you are not used to it.There are some things that people know are unhealthy, but they still can't help the temptation and prefer to eat them.

Just like Coca-Cola, carbonated beverages recognized in the world are harmful to human body, but so many people still drink them, barbecue, hot pot are unhealthy ways to eat, but people would rather sacrifice their health to eat, why? ?

Because, it's gotta be non-lethal, like a smoker!
The food in front of me is indeed very healthy, but who can eat it all?
Anyway, when I ate it in my mouth, I felt it was bland and tasteless, and these things were so flashy that it was hard to fill my stomach basically.

When Wei Hua came to toast, I was staring at the food in front of me in a daze, because it really couldn't arouse my appetite.

Wei Hua asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, is the food not to your liking?"

I hurriedly shook my head and said, "No, no, everything is delicious! I've lost weight recently, so I don't eat too much!"

Wei Hua smiled and said: "Don't worry, these foods of mine are low-fat, sugar-free, oil-free foods, absolutely healthy!"

I smiled and nodded and asked, "Did you grow these ingredients yourself? But the weather on the island..."

Wei Hua explained with great interest: "It is impossible to grow vegetables and fruits on our island, but we have built a vegetable and fruit base by ourselves, and basically grow them by ourselves. Of course, some ingredients need to be transported by air. Yes! By the way, I know, you also have some experience in catering, why don't you give me some advice?"

I looked at Yu Ling, and Yu Ling smiled and said, "Mr. Wei called me that day, and I said I would bring you here. You also know that not everyone can come here casually in Mr. Wei's place. Let me tell you about your situation, so Mr. Wei knows that you are in Zhuhai and opened a famous restaurant, I think there is nothing to hide, you don't mind, do you?"

I smiled and said, "I don't mind, but I just have a stake in that restaurant."

Wei Hua waved his hand and said half-jokingly: "You are too modest, are you unwilling to tell me the secret of success?"

I hurriedly said: "How can I? I really don't know much about catering. If you force me to talk about it, I will tell you some of my humble opinions. If I am wrong, please correct it in time!"

Wei Hua smiled and said, "You are too polite!"

I went on to say: "First of all, in terms of the environment here, it is indeed unique, but I am curious, why did you choose Qingdao? Qingdao is surrounded by the Bohai Sea, and the Yellow Sea is not far to the east. The climate here is warm and warm. With a climate, although it is considered warm in winter and cool in summer, but at the end of September, the sea breeze here basically becomes biting. It is estimated that the sea breeze is blowing so that people can't stand, so your business time of the year is from April to September. One month, half a year is not enough!

Thirdly, since it is an island, of course you rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water, but you choose to eat vegetarian food, which is not in the economic interest.

Finally, I also guess that your market positioning is relatively high, and you are all high-end people.However, high-end people also have their consumption concept. They have money and taste, and they will pay more attention to enjoyment, eating, drinking and having fun. But looking at you again, it seems that there is nothing they want. They may spend the same money, and they want to go abroad even more. "

Wei Hua's complexion changed first, and then he smiled gently and said, "Mr. Chen is really telling the truth! When it comes to my heart, I also feel that there is a problem with my position! The problem is, I spent so much time With so much money, it’s impossible to build a harbor city, right? How many years will it take me to recover the cost?”

I thought for a while and said, "Don't mind, I'm talking nonsense. I don't know anything about catering, tourism, hotels, etc.! You must have a reason for doing this!"

Wei Hua refused to give up, and originally planned to say hello to me, but at this moment he sat down, and the person next to him took the initiative to give way to him.

He asked sincerely: "Mr. Chen, I just heard you say that I was 1 unhappy in my heart and said that the hotel I worked so hard to build was worthless. However, your suggestion is very sincere. I also want to ask again, can you give me some good suggestions, how can I improve?"

I hurriedly shook my head and said: "This is really hard for me, I'm just talking nonsense! I really don't understand, those of us who come from sales, just like to run the train with our mouths, and dare to say anything when we encounter it. Don’t embarrass me if you don’t have a clue!”

Wei Hua looked at Yu Ling pleadingly, and Yu Ling persuaded me: "Mr. Wei, I have been friends with me for many years, and he is very sincere. If you can help him, please help him!"

I sighed and said: "I really need to change my nonsense! In this way, I will talk casually, and you can listen to it casually! Since your hotel is positioned as a tourist resort, you must have gimmicks to attract tourists. This is an island, so we will develop some sea projects, such as diving, buying a motorboat, traveling around the island, etc. You can also fish in the sea, go to the island to collect shells, etc. The hotel is not doing vegetarian food and beverages, of course, you can take it alone Take this part out and give it to some people who like vegetarian food. We still have to focus on seafood, which is fresh and ready to eat. This is something that ordinary hotels cannot do!

If you want to be a high-end customer group, it is also possible. On such a large island, you can separate a part of it as an exclusive VIP area. You can find another place on the island to separate it from the public. They can go to the public area, but the public area, you cannot log in to the VIP area.This will not only allow these high-end customers to experience a sense of superiority, but also allow people in the public area to find ways to enter the VIP area.This is how people are. Once there is a comparison, there will be a comparison psychology. Grab this comparison psychology and let those who like to compare spend money that they did not intend to spend.

Another point is that I think you can attract overseas tourists. Most of the tourists in Southeast Asia may live by the sea. The hot post-season climate makes them live in high temperature all year round. If they Being able to come to your island is like escaping the summer heat. If you don’t go out of Asia, you can go to the island by boat and be isolated from the world. Isn’t this a fairyland?This price/performance ratio is much better than going to Europe! "

After hearing this, Wei Hua agreed greatly: "It's really a word that awakens the dreamer! You said that you are not traveling, I really don't believe you are on vacation!"

I laughed and said, "I really haven't done it, I haven't even glued the sides!"

Yu Ling followed with a smile and said, "Yes, I can prove this! Mr. Chen's success is not in this area!"

Wei Hua asked curiously: "It shouldn't be, this is a well-founded statement! This is not something that ordinary people can say, this insight is extraordinary!"

Yu Ling explained: "Maybe this is the nature of the sales staff? They see things from the perspective of the market. In their eyes, all products are sold first, whether they are good or not, and how to sell them." Maximize your profits!"

Wei Hua praised: "Then Mr. Chen is considered the best and most successful salesperson, right? He has become the boss of the group!"

Or Wei Hua stayed at our table for too long, and his assistant walked behind him and whispered something in his ear.

Wei Hua just stood up, and reluctantly said: "Sit down first, there are a lot of people invited today, I will go to greet you first, remember not to leave at night, I want to have a long talk with you!"

I opened my mouth and said to Yu Ling in a low voice: "I'm afraid this place is haunted at night!"

Yu Ling chuckled and said, "This is your money tree! You have to be careful!"

Halfway through the meal, some people started to leave the table, either because they had something to do, or because they felt bored. Although there were always people on the stage who wanted to perform elegant music, they still couldn't arouse everyone's interest.This kind of gathering is quite boring in the first place, just seeing it is enough.

I looked at Yun Manni's table. Yuan Zhiyuan was sitting awkwardly between Lu Ping and Yun Manni, as if he was about to collapse in the next moment, and he looked at me for help from time to time.

I picked up the wine glass and said to Yu Ling: "Let's go to that table and have a look, it's not good to neglect them!"

Yu Ling nodded and said, "Yes, I guess you are afraid that Boss Yuan will be too embarrassing? In all fairness, I think our Boss Yun is much better than your Boss Yuan!"

I smiled lightly and said, "There are too many outstanding people under my command. What I want is loyalty." After I finished speaking, I regretted it. Doesn't this mean that I said Yun Manni was not loyal enough? ?
There wasn't much surprise on Yu Ling's face, she just smiled and said, "Absolute loyalty is stubbornness, stupid loyalty!"

I laughed and said nothing, not responding to her words.

As soon as we got to the table, Yuan Zhiyuan complained: "I can't do this job anymore. I'm here to eat, not to be a referee!"

I almost laughed out loud, and comforted me: "Two such beautiful beauties eat with you and enjoy the blessing of being together. Most people don't even think about it. You are not grateful to Dade, why are you complaining!"

Yuan Zhiyuan gave me a blank look and said: "Then you come and enjoy the blessings of all people, I have no blessings!"

Yu Ling walked up behind them and said, "Don't make things too difficult for Mr. Yuan! Such a handsome guy has been sitting here with you all night, looking at so many beauties with longing eyes, so he just missed it, isn't it because of you guys?" Two?"

Lu Ping snorted and said, "His eyes have never stopped looking at beautiful women. I have warned him and told him to pay attention to the influence. After all, he is an image representing all people, and he almost couldn't pull it out. One eye is simply not enough to see!"

Yuan Zhiyuan blushed and said: "I just took a look, don't hold on to it! I'm just surprised, you said that the clothes are just stuck on your shoulders, why don't they fall off?"

I glared at Yuan Zhiyuan and said, "Do you have any knowledge? There must be double-sided tape stuck inside!"

The three women laughed together, pointed at me and said, "What a fool!"
