National Tide 1980.

Chapter 454
That's right, ever since he took in Sun Wufu, Ning Weimin did seem to be doing everything right.

His newly opened store in Zhai Palace is very popular with foreign guests, and the book fair held on Sunday is also prosperous.

Especially after the "Beijing Evening News" published an exclusive interview about the book market.

The name of the Temple of Heaven Zhaigong Book Market is widely spread in Forty-Nine City.

Even the college students in Haidian, not afraid of the long distance, went to the Temple of Heaven Park to buy books.

In this way, even after Labor Day, the book market has maintained a considerable popularity and temperature.

It can almost maintain the passenger flow at the level of seven to eight thousand people.

This directly caused Ning Weimin's office to be full of people, with constant phone calls.

More and more publishing houses contacted him actively, hoping to join in and solve their respective inventory problems with the help of the book market.

It can be said that in less than three months, the book market founded by Ning Weimin has successfully opened up and gained a reputation.

It has entered into a virtuous cycle of operation.

In this era, such a speed and such an achievement are undoubtedly an unbelievable business miracle.

For this reason, not only Ning Weimin himself was happy, but his other two partners were also very satisfied.

Even the district leaders who were in charge of approving the palace catering cooperation project were quite pleasantly surprised.

Naturally, their confidence in the prospects of cooperation between the three parties has greatly increased.

So it was exactly as Ning Weimin wanted, and the leader swiped his pen.

The palace catering project, which was submitted as early as a month ago, was jointly funded by the three parties, and the initial investment was as high as 50 yuan was approved, and the project was finally officially approved.

This has to be said, it is a piece of good news that makes everyone involved feel very excited and has long been looking forward to it.

But as the saying goes, there are many people who are popular, and it is the same when they are popular in business.

Once the stall is too large, there will be some carelessness, and mistakes will inevitably occur.

After all, no one is perfect, no matter how talented Ning Weimin is in business, he can't do everything.

In fact, it was just at the time when he was full of ambition and was about to go to work and continue to make contributions in the field of high-end catering.

The reality suddenly flashed his waist, almost throwing him on the ground.

It is exactly the old saying that extreme joy begets sorrow.

What really happened?
Speaking of the cause of this incident, it actually lies in Ning Weimin's two opposite business strategies towards foreign guests and domestic guests.

Killing the rich and helping the poor is pissing.

But foreign guests and domestic guests buy the same thing at different prices, which is prone to mistakes.

Seriously speaking, it's not that Ning Weimin didn't think about this.

In order to prevent these two kinds of people from mixing together for trading, the method he adopted was to simply divide them into two.

Outside the Zhai Palace handicraft store, he had someone hang up a signboard for foreign exchange transactions in order to prevent domestic guests from patronizing.

As for the book market on Sunday, he strictly ordered Sun Wufu and those "thrift dealers" he recruited to only do business with his own compatriots.

In his opinion, it is the best way to keep the well water from the river water like this.

It also prevents foreigners from taking advantage of it, or the common people hear the high price and scold him for being unkind behind their backs.

But the problem is, a person is not a dead object, so how can he manipulate it as he pleases?
And there are many things, I'm afraid of coincidence.

No, on May 5th, Saturday, something happened in the Zhai Palace handicraft store.

At that time, it was around 12:30 noon, which was the time when there were the least people.

No matter where people are, they have to eat when it's time to eat, even the staff of the fasting palace is the same.

The handicraft store has two rooms because of its business area, and two girls take care of one shift together.

Originally, on this day, the two girls in charge of looking after the store, Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng, planned to have dinner together.

But they never thought of it, just when they were about to close the door and leave.

A middle-aged male compatriot in his 50s actually came, went into the store, and looked at the products on his own.

This kind of cleverness is too disgusting.

I saw the man who ruined their plan, wearing a black forward hat.

Wearing a people's suit of khaki cloth, the trousers are brown.

He had a pair of white cloth shoes on his feet, and he was carrying a black leather bag.

No matter how you look at it, there is a smoky rustic smell on your body, and you came here purely for leisure.

The two girls must be upset, but because of Ning Weimin's service requirements and professional standards, it's not easy to kick them out directly.

There is no way, there are at most them, so they can only aim at this one with their eyes.

Trying to use this tactful way to force this person to wake up and leave quickly.

To say that it has been open for so many days, there will indeed be some people who can't see the "forex only" sign outside and enter by mistake.

And this trick is usually useful, most people can't stand this kind of staring eyes.

But there are no absolutes, and today they are still so evil, neither of the two girls thought that they would meet someone with a good mental quality and no sense of fun.

This one didn't respond at all, he could just lie on the counter to look at it, and then went to the price of goods over there to look at it.

And it's extremely serious, it's definitely not like browsing in a hurry like ordinary people.

It's really a review of everything, and there are still things in my mouth, so I can't count them.

For this reason, if it doesn't take an hour, you will definitely not be able to finish watching it.

Finally, after 10 minutes, Xiao Wei couldn't bear it anymore.

She leaned over and said very politely, "Comrade, why don't you go to another place first. We are going to close here."

The middle-aged man froze for a moment, "What do you mean? Are you bombarding me?"

How dare Xiao Wei admit to this crime.

Forced to smile and waved his hands, "No, it's noon, you go to eat first, and come back in an hour."

Only then did this man understand, he was silent for a while, then bowed his head and went out.

Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng immediately looked at each other and smiled.

But what they didn't expect was that the front foot had just stepped out, and within two seconds, he stepped back in again.

"Hey, the sign outside of yours doesn't say that there is a lunch break during business hours? Why are you bombarding me?"

Well, the co-author went out to check the business hours.

Xiao Wei immediately choked, like a Kagan fishbone.

But the other girl, Xiao Mengke, had a lot of words, and she threw out a few nonsense words that she didn't like.

"It's not written that there is a lunch break, but did you see that it says 'forex trading only'? Do you have foreign exchange certificates?"

"Foreign exchange certificates? I just want to see if I need foreign exchange certificates?" The middle-aged man was obviously tired of such words.

But the two girls still held on to this and wouldn't let go, speaking in unison.

"I'm sorry, this is ordered by the superior. If there is no foreign exchange certificate, then please go elsewhere. Sorry we can't accept it."

The middle-aged man thought for a while, sighed, and finally backed down helplessly.

"Okay, I'll go first and wait for you for an hour before I come back, right?"

Both girls had the joy of victory in their hearts.

But just because the master is so serious, he still refuses to let it go, and the dog in the water must be beaten and driven away.

"You still have to bring the foreign exchange certificates."

"Yes, don't make it difficult for us, we have to obey the requirements of our superiors. Otherwise, the bonus will be deducted."

The middle-aged man grinned at the little girl's trick of using chicken feathers as arrows.

But he didn't say anything, just bowed his head and left.

But this matter is by no means over.

Because Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng had eaten, and as soon as they came back, they saw this guy waiting for them at the door of the shop.

Moreover, he was actually holding a ten-yuan foreign exchange certificate that he got from somewhere, and he showed them a look, and asked them with a serious expression.

"This is a foreign exchange certificate, isn't it? Can I go in and see it now?"

Now, of course, the two girls had no excuses to stop them, so they had no choice but to let the shop open and let the owner enter the shop.

Ordinarily speaking, up to this point, Xiao Wei, Xiao Meng and this customer were already somewhat at odds with each other.

But this kind of unhappiness is still hidden in everyone's heart.

If it doesn't happen again, there is a high probability that this matter will pass.

But the problem was precisely that he really found something that caught his eye.

It took about an hour, and this guy slowly read everything he could see.

Among them, there is no lack of looking at a shelf endlessly, which has affected many foreign customers to browse.

Finally, he brought over a white porcelain wine glass and asked the two girls for the price.

"How much is this thing?"

Xiaowei and Xiaomeng are angry, why don't they take this opportunity to humiliate him?
He was thinking, how could he not quote a price that he could afford.

"twelve."

"eighteen."

Well, I didn't expect the two to speak at the same time, but the price is the same for each person, which is not uniform.

The middle-aged man frowned.

"Is it twelve or eighteen? Why are the prices you mentioned different?"

Xiao Wei was dumbfounded, but Xiao Meng was smart.

She estimated that middle-aged people don't understand exchange rates, so she simply started talking nonsense.

"She's talking about U.S. dollars, and I'm talking about foreign exchange certificates."

The middle-aged man was noncommittal and asked again.

"That's eighteen, can it be cheaper?"

The two girls shook their heads together.

"The price is set by the superior"

"Yes. We have no right to change it."

The middle-aged man shut up again.

But he didn't give up until this point.

He took the thing in his hand and pondered for a while.

In addition to taking out the ten foreign exchange certificates in his pocket, he also took out a lot of scattered banknotes from his pocket, cobbled together ten yuan of RMB, and handed them over together.

"Is this all right? I want this thing. Let's make a ticket."

Now, of course, it was the two girls' turn to be dumbfounded, and instead they were sent to the army.

To be honest, they never thought that middle-aged people would still want to buy it at such a price.

This is too abnormal, how can Chinese people be so generous?

Even if there was, it would be someone like Manager Ning.

It's impossible to be dressed like a middle-aged man.

So they came up with a terrible idea almost at the same time.

Oops, this middle-aged man, is he in a bad mood?
Is he going to retaliate for today's unhappiness!
Yes, or he himself is from the Price Bureau.

Either he knew someone from the price bureau and wanted to report this thing to the price bureau.

Where is this going?
So the two girls still accepted the reason, and shook their heads like rattles.

No matter what, he refused to let the middle-aged man take the cup away, so he insisted that he didn't have enough foreign exchange certificates, so he wouldn't sell it to him.

However, what I didn't expect was that because of a few disputes, it also attracted the attention of other customers in the store.

A foreigner was interested in the cup held by the middle-aged man, and came to ask the price out of curiosity.

It was Xiaomeng again, who had an idea, thinking that this was a good excuse.

Just in case this foreigner takes a fancy to this porcelain cup and buys it, it's fine!

Sue us?You also have to have evidence in your hand.

She asked the middle-aged man to put down the things for foreigners to see, and said, "Since you don't have enough foreign exchange certificates, we can only apologize."

But she really shouldn't have said that.

Because this completely annoyed the middle-aged man.

As a result, things have almost reached the point of being out of control.
