National Tide 1980.

Chapter 501
In terms of tourism products, a new cooperative relationship has been established with the Temple of Heaven Park, and the interests and needs of all parties have been reconciled and balanced.

For Ning Weimin, it was just a small episode.

The focus of his work must still be the joint venture restaurant that is about to be completed and opened.

But in essence, this incident illustrates a very important issue.

That is what is the key to a person's ability to make the company bigger and stronger.

So far, the reason why Ning Weimin has been able to go smoothly is that he has not encountered too many ups and downs, but he has achieved what he has done.

He relies on nothing else, that is, he is good at discovering and integrating various resources, and knows how to consider from the standpoint of others.

He can not only use his brain to take care of the interests of many parties, but also be able to negotiate with others in a way that makes people feel comfortable.

That's why people can happily help him, and get help from noble people many times.

As for the golden finger who traveled through time, it was just a ride that would help him grasp the general trend of the times and take opportunities.

When it comes to the practice of business operations, this kind of information reserve beyond the times is actually not very helpful.

It's hard to imagine a person who wants to do things straightforwardly, let his temper go, and thinks that capital can determine everything.

With a free ride and a lofty goal, you can make your career bigger.

A person like this is not only naive, but also only himself in his heart.

Selfishness is clearly revealed in every word and deed, and it is quite easy to self-inflate.

Of course, it is very easy to offend people, and it is impossible to win the favor and appreciation of the upper class.

Maybe in the early stage of the career, you can rely on the advantage of time travel to grasp certain opportunities and create a little miraculous performance.

But the more proud and flamboyant you are, the faster you die.

If nothing else, just because the method of doing things is wrong, it will not be recognized by the public, nor will it meet the actual needs of the society.

You will inevitably feel constrained and resistance everywhere.

Even if you have a golden finger, it will only make some high-ranking people feel that there is some use value.

But they will never be regarded as objects that can be supported, trusted, relied on, supported, and cooperated by those in high positions.

Especially when the career develops to a certain stage, it is natural that because of the inability to balance the interests of all parties, one's own alliance or internal chaos will first arise.

Even if there are no external business rivals, business collapse is inevitable.

This is an inevitability. Personal EQ determines the ability to control, which has nothing to do with academic qualifications.

You know, dealing with people is the most practical and profound knowledge in the world.

If you only know how to deal with others based on pure interests, at most you will be treated as a fool or a piece of fat.

You don't even know how to deal with people, you can't even give gifts, and you will offend people inadvertently, so how can you talk about doing things?
On the other hand, Ning Weimin is different. There is no such word as "happy kindness and hatred" in his values.

He understands that in life, one must learn to deal with people he doesn't like, and the key to success is to pursue harmonious coexistence as much as possible.

Therefore, his modest and cautious habit of being a human being, his amiable style of conduct, coupled with his flexible adaptability, and creativity by drawing inferences from one instance, all of which are combined and used in the business field, will be completely different.

Many things that were difficult or impossible to do in the first place, with him, miraculously come to fruition.

So rather than saying that this joint venture restaurant he founded is the most luxurious, high-end, and most authentic court cuisine catering enterprise built under the current era background, relying on money and relationships.

Rather, it is a miracle in the world created by his sophistication, business accomplishment, aesthetic vision, knowledge, and our national traditional culture and the wisdom of our predecessors. .

August 1983, 8 was the day when Ning Weimin's "Altar Palace·Imperial Cuisine Official Seat" restaurant held its opening ceremony.

From the day when the small building at No. 87, Tiantan North Road officially put up its signboard in a blockbuster manner.

It is doomed that the pattern of the catering industry in Beijing will be very different, and the historical trend will start to deviate from the original track...

As the top person in charge of Pierre Carton's Huaxia District and Ning Weimin's leader, Song Huagui is undoubtedly one of Ning Weimin's must-have guests on this day.

In fact, Song Huagui received Ning Weimin's invitation as early as a week ago.

But to the great disappointment of the general manager, Ning Weimin passed the invitation letter to her through someone else.

Even this invitation letter was placed on her desk along with a report document on the progress of the restaurant.

Seems like a bonus to express politeness.

Ning Weimin didn't come to tell her about it personally, and he didn't even make a phone call until the last moment.

What does this mean?
It can be said that Ning Weimin, a subordinate, understands that she is busy with work, knows that she has a lot to do, and is unwilling to disturb her because of trivial matters.

It can also be said that Ning Weimin lacked sincerity and behaved quite perfunctorily.

It is very likely that what he really meant was, "It doesn't matter if you want to come, or you don't. You can also send a personal representative. Anyway, it won't delay the matter."

This is equivalent to a substantive separatism, a signal that it is ready to stand on its own.

But she came anyway, and she pushed aside some important affairs and came with great goodwill.

She very much hoped that she could use this opportunity to figure out what was wrong with them so as to ease their relationship.

And no matter how you say it, from a legal point of view, Ning Weimin is making money for Pierre Caton after all.

At least she believed in Ning Weimin's ability to work, and was very grateful for everything Ning Weimin had done for the company so far.

Therefore, in view of the special nature of today's day, the guests must all be prominent figures.

So in terms of emotion and reason, she, the general manager, should come forward to support this subordinate.

So today Song Huagui not only came early, but also carefully groomed himself before coming.

Her figure is slightly thinner than six months ago, which is caused by the busy work and pressure of the recent period.

But her slender figure also shows her capable personality more and more.

Her complexion is still very fair, although the peach-like youthful blush from her girlhood has disappeared, but a little blush can effectively make up for this deficiency.

Her eyes are not as clear as they used to be.

Then I added a black strip on the eyelids, which increased the brightness of the eyeballs.

All of a sudden, she easily made herself dazzling and decent.

But most importantly, she deliberately chose lavender lipstick today and wore a long-sleeved royal blue silk dress.

And the choice of jewelry is also very streamlined, only wearing a simple necklace.

The purpose of this deliberately low-key color and dress is to fully express her good intentions that she does not want to steal the limelight.

This is what she most hoped Ning Weimin could realize.

However, after arriving at No. 87 Tiantan North Road, Song Huagui felt that his words were completely blocked, and he couldn't speak at all.

Because Ning Weimin's words were true or false, and his attitude was respectful, but his eyes could not conceal the estrangement and alienation towards her in his heart.

Ning Weimin is a good actor, he ran outside to greet her attentively, and even called "big sister" affectionately.

But even the best actors can't stop the real emotions that the windows of the soul show.

Ning Weimin's attitude of being deeply guarded against her in his superficial politeness made her understand that it may have become a luxury to achieve her original goal today.

Obviously, their misunderstanding between each other was far more serious and profound than what she personally imagined.

It is by no means a sentence or two that can be explained.

When did it become like this?And why did it become like this?
Frankly speaking, Song Huagui didn't know either.

But she regretted not being keenly aware of this subtle change.

As a result, they failed to remedy it in time, and the relationship between the two people came to a point where they were only polite and perfunctory.

How sad!There used to be such a tacit understanding and mutual trust between them, and they were even as close as siblings!
However, even so, it can't be said that it was a waste of time, she came this trip for nothing.

At least Ning Weimin's ability to handle affairs has never let her down.

It's the same this time, Ning Weimin made today's ceremony too decent.

It can even be said that it completely refreshed her understanding of the words "decorated with lanterns and festoons".

What a gorgeous scene she saw outside the restaurant?

It is a full two-story building, and almost the entire wall is covered with silk and satin.

24 large apricot-yellow hydrangeas are hanging down from the roof of the second floor, hanging on the six eye-catching three-dimensional characters of "Altar Palace·Imperial Cuisine Official Seat", which can be described as a head start.

Similarly, similar festoons were used in all the arms, and long and short silk were hung.

All the bright pillars are even wrapped in apricot yellow silk.

The breeze is coming slowly, fluttering, it is really yellow and bright.

Coupled with the two large flower baskets as tall as a person on both sides of the entrance plaque, and two male intellectuals wearing moon-white coats on both sides.

Just this beautiful, this gorgeous.

The appearance of this kind of celebration is really ostentatious and grand that ordinary people can't even dream of.

However, it is not only these that bring people the most shocking feeling.

Yihuo's kitchen and the scene on the roof are even more unimaginable and amazing.

Dare to feel that because the exterior walls of Yihuo's dim sum shop are all large glass windows that can be seen inside at a glance.

Anyone who walks through the door of the restaurant can easily see the work of the chefs in the huge kitchen.

Song Huagui couldn't help being surprised by the number of chefs inside. There were thirty or forty people in white clothes and chef hats.

As for the surprise on the roof, the main reason is that Ning Weimin erected another three-meter-high sign on the four sides of the roof.

It is also paved with bright yellow silk and satin, and on the stretched silk and satin, people actually wrote the slogan of flamboyant and phoenix dancing in black lines.

On the front is written "August 8th, the Grand Opening of the Altar Palace·Imperial Cuisine Official Seat", and on the side is "Tianchu Serves Food, Enjoyed by the Palace"!
So Song Huagui's eyes couldn't help but be attracted, and she couldn't help but marvel when she looked at it.

"Wei Min, this scene of yours is good enough, it really made you look royal. Look at this hydrangea, look at this long and short silk, it is so beautiful! The color is also good, yellow and clear, more beautiful than big red, solemn Generous, elegant and not vulgar! It’s just that it’s a lot of work, right? How many people are needed to make it like this? And is it too expensive? The situation in our country... I’m afraid some people will say that it’s too laborious and wasteful!”

Song Huagui definitely reminded him in good faith, which Ning Weimin knew very well.

But he wasn't even worried at all, and there were plenty of reasons for his reply.

"Elder sister, you are overthinking. Isn't this just a knot of color, hanging some silk and satin. To tell you the truth, although it looks like a joke, it really doesn't cost much money. These things were done in the past." Beijing Cai Bureau A few master craftsmen from " helped to tie it up, and it took only one day to finish it. In their industry, it is called "soft color", which is the most thrifty way of color decoration. If it is really wasteful, it should be "hard color". Cai', for example, build a colorful pavilion, erect a colorful archway, etc. I made it like this, and the biggest expense was the cost of fabrics. In fact, even the cost of labor, it didn't cost two thousand. Consider In the future, these colorful silk hydrangeas can be used repeatedly, so that’s nothing.”

"It's less than two thousand, do you think everything is counted together? Impossible..." Song Huagui obviously didn't believe it, "Not to mention, how much are the two big flower baskets at your door? What about the brand? Look at the size, two thousand? If you can do it for five thousand, I think you are capable. To be honest, I wanted to give you some flower baskets, but I couldn’t find any in Beijing. Place, where did you buy these two..."

Ning Weimin really laughed this time.

"Sister. Thank you for your kindness. But I didn't buy this flower basket. It was given by someone else. Why did you forget? This is a cooperative transaction with Tiantan Park. This is the flower basket planted in the Tiantan Garden. flowers."

"Just for today's scene, the gardener asked the gardener to cut the flowers and make them now. But it doesn't matter, when your western restaurant opens next month, I promise to let them make two bigger ones for you."

"As for the big sign on the top of the building, even hiring workers to make an iron frame and pasting four sheets of tin on it, it really cost a lot of money, about 7000. But if you think about it from another angle, the cost is not a loss. , but it is a profitable business..."

Song Huagui couldn't help being stunned by the last sentence.

My heart said, how can I still make money?

However, Ning Weimin's next sentence revealed the answer for her.

"To tell you the truth, I have only used the sign on the roof for a few days since the restaurant opened, and we don't even have the right to use it next month. Because I have rented out all four of these signs. Japan's Matsushita is rich and powerful. I spent 6 yuan to rent these four signs for a year, and next month, I will find someone to paint their advertisements."

It was only then that Song Huagui suddenly realized that he couldn't help laughing.

"You're quite capable of tossing around. You can come up with such an idea, okay, well thought out. After that, your restaurant will always be pressured by electrical advertisements, isn't it a bit..."

"Also, the name of your restaurant, no matter how I think about it, it's a bit strange. If it's not in the middle, it's not in the west, will it be ridiculed?"

"Not to mention anything else, this altar is an altar, and the palace is a palace. You have to use them together, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense..."

However, Ning Weimin is still the same, and has his own reasons.

"It's nothing. I don't mind the advertisement of electrical appliances on this signboard. Anyway, my target is mainly Japanese customers. The advertisement for selling Japanese electrical appliances on the roof of this building. If Japanese people come here to eat, they will definitely see it. Happy. If you are happy, you will spend more money. What's wrong with that?"

"To tell you the truth, in fact, when I first came up with this idea, the Temple of Heaven and the District Service Bureau said that the fat and water should not flow into the fields of outsiders, and hoped to put our company's advertisements. But I directly rejected it. You see, we Now that I’m doing TV commercials and holding modeling contests, there’s no need for that. Besides, it’s not bustling here, with few cars and few people, so it’s not a rich place. Let the Japanese come to take advantage of it.”

"As for the restaurant's signboard, its function is nothing more than being eye-catching enough for people to recognize, remember! Don't you think the name of my restaurant sounds Japanese, and what I want is such an unconventional, As long as it works out, it’s over.”

"So out of this kind of consideration, I installed neon lights on the three-dimensional characters of the signboard. This is really expensive, and it cost less than [-]. No matter how expensive it is, I plan to install it in the future. As long as people can see it at the intersection of a street at night, it's worth it..."

Not to mention, the reasons Ning Weimin gave are very pragmatic.

Song Huagui also had to admit that it was indeed the case.
