Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 914: Here Comes the Businessman
Mai Mai let out an oh, nodded weakly and said: "Be prepared for danger in times of safety, I know!"

I can't say anything more, looked at Mai Mai, smacked my lips, took a deep breath and said, "I'm not blaming everyone, but it's really not the time to enjoy it, let me tell you, Weihua's people have already set their sights on us ! It seems that our momentum is good, but the risk is great! When, when we plan to retire, when can we sit back and relax!"

Several people nodded immediately.

I emphasized it again: "It's really not the time to enjoy yourself. Even guarding the country is not counted, but fighting the country is not the state you are in now! Everyone should do their duty!"

Everyone dispersed, Yaoyang looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Did you see anything?"

I shook my head and said, "No, I really don't want to doubt Mai. If it wasn't him, who else could it be? Zhiyuan is a stubborn person. He just wanted to make needles for Wei Hua, and Wei Hua wouldn't want him." Zhuzi will not have anything to do with Wei Hua, the rest of the old Fang, the level is not enough, Xue Qi is an outsider, and she has this kind of relationship with you, you say I don't doubt Mai, who should I doubt? ?”

Yaoyang sighed and said: "It's not necessarily someone who tipped off Wei Hua, are you a bit of a stalker?"

I still hesitated and said: "I still feel that someone has told them the news, otherwise they wouldn't be able to keep an eye on our ancient town, so why would they want to see what we're doing? Besides, you're talking about the land, wouldn't it be Shall we talk about it with great fanfare?"

Yaoyang hurriedly said: "How is it possible?"

I hummed and said, "That's right, just after you finished talking, they followed?"

Yaoyang shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. Think about the big movement of the three major real estates, how could he not know about it? Besides, they have already cooperated with Lushuiyuan, and knowing the news from Lushuiyuan Not surprising, is it?"

I thought for a while and said: "I hope that's what you said. I don't want to doubt anyone anymore. After the past, I am really more sensitive now. I also know what it feels like to be wronged, but I really can't help it." Ah, we have to be careful!"

Yaoyang sighed and said, "Once bitten by a snake, I'm afraid of the well rope for ten years! How about we lure the snake out of the hole once?"

A few days later, I was gesturing with Yaoyang on a drawing, and Mai Mai came in first and asked, "Mr. Chen, Brother Yang wants to ask me for something?"

Yaoyang said with a oh: "You sit down first, we'll discuss it with you, and I'll talk to you later!"

After finishing speaking, he continued to discuss with me: "The land next to the Panyu Wildlife Park is a swamp, and there is no way to dig the foundation. I don't know how much it is and how deep it is. What kind of geology is it? I think the risk is too high and it is not worth the investment. , besides, the price of this piece of land is not low, so I don’t know what to do when I buy it back?”

I shook my head and said, "Look at how big this swamp is? The surrounding area can still be used. The depth of the shallow swamp is estimated to be only 2-3 meters. After it is hollowed out, water can be directly poured into it to create an artificial lake." How wonderful, if we can’t lay the foundation, we’ll just make the foundation of the platform and build a villa on it, isn’t it very good!”

Yaoyang thought for a while and said, "It's possible, then go and have a look tomorrow!"

I hummed and walked out.

We did the same thing again with Yuan Zhiyuan, Zhao Dezhu, Xue Qi, and Lao Fang. The difference is that the plots are different.

Half a month has passed, and there is no movement at all in several fields. It seems that we have misunderstood them, and it may be a coincidence.

It wasn't until the day when the bookstore officially opened that I realized that things were not that simple, because on the day our bookstore opened, a coffee shop opened next to us.

Yaoyang sat depressed in our own coffee shop, looked at the few lonely people, and cursed: "It's too late, we just opened here, and they also opened, they are bigger than us, and the decoration is more luxurious than ours, The price is cheaper than ours, and the most important thing is that the variety is more complete than ours! This is clearly doing it with us!"

I asked curiously: "You haven't inquired about it before, what are the next few shops doing?"

Yaoyang sighed and said: "Why didn't I inquire about it? I haven't done any renovations before. When they were doing renovations, all the windows were sealed, and I couldn't even see the materials being delivered. I even specifically asked the decoration workers, saying It’s a restaurant! Who knows, when we opened today, they also opened. If you look at the prices on the menu, it’s clearly against us! What we have, they have, and what we don’t, they also have! You say this How is the business going?"

I just smiled lightly and said: "We are a bookstore, we mainly sell books, and coffee is a side business! Besides, they sell coffee, we just sell other things! How much impact will this have on us? ?”

Yaoyang groaned and said, "Didn't you say that? Bookstores don't make money, they have to rely on sideline business, that's why I made the coffee shop so beautiful. Otherwise, why did I put so much effort into decorating it?"

I cut it and said, "Why are you so brainless? The decoration is beautiful and what you sell has a dime to do with it? If you don't sell coffee, why don't you cook some Western food? He sells coffee, we sell fruit tea, Milk tea is enough. Now college students drink coffee to pretend to be X, and drinking milk tea is their real demand! I think this is better, the cost of coffee is still high, and few people know how to drink it. It is so advanced that there is no People appreciate it!"

Yaoyang said with a oh: "That's right, I'll ask someone to arrange it right away, I'm going to piss them off!"

I went straight into the coffee shop next to me, sat down, and a waiter came over immediately and offered me a cup of Blue Mountain coffee. I looked at the waiter in surprise and said, "I haven't ordered yet?"

The waiter smiled and said: "My boss said, you like to drink Blue Mountain coffee, and if you come, I will serve it to you!"

I pouted and said, "Your boss really guessed right, I don't drink coffee at all, I like lemon tea! Give me a cup of lemon tea, don't add honey!"

The waiter hesitated for a moment, not sure if what I said was true, but picked up the coffee, changed it to a cup of lemon tea, and asked again: "Do you like puffs or not?"

I frowned and said, "I don't like it, I don't eat sweet things!"

The waiter also scratched his head and walked away.

The master came over after a while, sat opposite me and said, "Why don't you like the arrangement I made for you?"

I pursed my lips and said, "I don't like other people's arrangements! Are you following me? What benefits does Wei Hua give you? Can straighten the bends?"

He Jie wasn't angry either, and said lightly, "What's crooked, straight? Don't I have the right to pursue my own happiness?"

I nodded my head and said, "It has nothing to do with me to do whatever you want! But, you're obviously robbing me of business, isn't it true?"

He Jie cut it and said: "Why did you steal your business, I have long wanted to open a coffee shop of my own!"

I said disdainfully: "Don't open early, don't open late, wait until the day we open, you open! And open next to me, do you have a soft spot for me? Or do you hate me?"

He Jie said with a smile: "I have them all! They say that you are a money-giving boy, if you hang out with you, you will definitely make money wherever you go!"

I snorted coldly and said, "If you have a chance to make money with me, don't you want to play tricks secretly, I can't afford you!"

He Jie snorted and said, "What are you talking about? Whoring?"

I laughed and said: "There are too many Cantonese words, and the pronunciation is not very accurate!"

He Jie said coldly: "Do you think I'm cheap?"

I shook my head and said, "Why do you say that about yourself? What do I think of you? Is it important?"

He Jie shrugged, expressing that he didn't care, and suddenly asked me: "Are you planning to start these small businesses? When will you be able to get ahead?"

I sneered and said, "Get ahead? What do I want to get ahead? I don't have any big ambitions. I don't have your ambitions. The reunification of the motherland still needs your efforts!"

He Jie said disdainfully: "A person who has a tiger in his heart, who sniffs roses, tells me that he is a common man, who knows what evil you are holding back?"

I took a sip of lemon tea, tasted it and said, "It's not sour, it's a bit bitter! You won't poison me, will you?"

He Jie chuckled and said, "Arsenic! Do you like to drink or not!"

I looked at the customers in twos and threes, and said, "Shouldn't you spend so much effort just to fight against me? Looking at your business, it won't take half a month for you to lose money!"

He Jie said indifferently: "Doesn't cooking rely on boiling? I just need to boil you to death first, and I'll have a business!"

I giggled and said, "Daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years? Then you wait slowly! I just don't have the intention to mess with you, otherwise, do you think you can really drive?"

He Jie said disdainfully: "Who are you scaring? I have already learned about your tricks, so it's not worth mentioning! You're not cruel enough!"

I nodded and said, "Yeah! I regret it now too! I've wanted to kill you bastards a long time ago, and I'll buy an AK47 later, and I'll blow you all up!"

He Jie laughed and said, "Do you hate us so much?"

I stood up and said, "Give me the money! Hurry up and get out before I change my mind, otherwise, if I let you drive for less than a week, I will have to leave in disgrace!"

He Jie snapped and said, "Just wait and see!"

I went back angrily and said to Yaoyang: "Find those three punks who are dedicated to work every day, aren't they short of money? This time I found a way for them, let them report next door every day, grandma's, I Don’t believe me anymore, can’t you mess with them?”

Yaoyang opened his mouth wide, and asked, "What stimulated you? Didn't you say just now that we're doing our own thing, and we've already figured out the countermeasures. Why are you playing tricks again?"

I said angrily: "It's so fucking annoying, do you know who drove it next to you?"

Yaoyang cut it and said: "Need to say? It must be Wei Hua's group!"

I grunted and said, "He Jie! You're still showing off with me! With their tricks, they are worthy of fighting with me. If I don't get them, I'll write it backwards!"

Yaoyang laughed loudly and said: "It seems that you are really angry! You can vent your anger however you want! I will listen to you!"

The next day, those three gangsters went to He Jie's coffee shop as promised, and they were kicked out before they could speak. After they came to our side to report the situation, I almost couldn't breathe from laughing.

One of them said aggrievedly: "Brother, it's not that we are not good at things, it's really them..."

Yaoyang asked curiously: "What's wrong with them? They won't give you protection money?"

Another said: "Before I said anything, I was kicked out!"

Yaoyang continued to ask: "Why? Why are you still afraid of them?"

The leader shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of them, I'm afraid of the security patrols. They go to their coffee shop at a fixed time every day. When we went in, they were asking if anyone was making trouble recently, and we didn't hear clearly. We asked them directly for money, and when they overheard us, they kicked us out!"

Yaoyang pursed his lips and said, "Usually with other people, you're always talking about it, but when you really use you, it's nothing! Let's go, let's go!" After finishing speaking, he kicked them out and gave them 100 yuan before leaving. Yuan, the three of them don't want anything!

I sighed and said, "I was also short of breath for a while, I guess they are just laughing!"

Just as we were talking, He Jie walked into the bookstore graciously, saw Yaoyang and me, walked over, sat across from me, and asked, "Is there any Blue Mountain coffee?"

Without raising my eyelids, I replied, "Go to the front desk and ask yourself, I'm not a waiter!"

Yaoyang said with a playful smile: "How about the coffee from Brokeback Mountain?"

He Jie was not annoyed either, and said with a smile: "You two have researched it, right? I have already seen it!"

I snorted coldly and said: "If you want to spend, find a seat yourself, I don't welcome table sharing here!"

He Jie snapped and said, "How can your business be good if you treat customers like this?"

Yaoyang sat down beside her, and said very close: "The place you sit is mine, but if you like to squeeze, I don't care! It's cold weather, you wear so little, it's probably business Not good, why don't you come out and stand on the street to attract customers? Don't wrong yourself like this, why don't you go over and cheer for you!"

He Jie sat aside instinctively, and then said calmly: "Your rogue behavior is useless to me! After a while, the beauty next to you will come, what should I do? Come on, sit closer Just put your arms around me!" After finishing speaking, Erlang raised his legs deliberately, and his snow-white thighs were so brightly swinging in front of us.

Yaoyang glanced out unconsciously, then stood up and said: "I met a female hooligan!" After speaking, he walked away.

I looked at He Jie and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

He Jie looked at me and replied: "I don't want to do anything, let's do business peacefully, and don't interfere with anyone else!"

I cut it and said, "You know that's not what I asked!"
