National Tide 1980.

Chapter 513 Lucky Numbers

With "Zhang Dashao" taking over the kitchen, Ning Weimin has nothing to worry about.

Just when "Zhang Dashao" was manipulating the "live fish in sauce", he also arranged the manpower to pass the dishes.

Soon he took Zhang Shihui straight to the front hall to take care of the scene.

However, it was not his turn to show courteousness to the two main tables, and the status of the guests was too high for him to reach.

And the important friends of the three tables of cultural circles were also accompanied by the deputy director, director Jin and Zou Guodong respectively.

So the only ones who really need him to take care of him are the other guests.

As for the most important of these people, the ones who should not be neglected are those who are not very high-ranking, but actually have a lot of power, and can provide great assistance to the operation of the restaurant in the future.

In fact, from a utilitarian point of view, these people are no less important to the management of the restaurant than those in high positions.

For example, Director Han of the Credit Department of the Chongwenmen Branch of the People's Bank of China, who holds the power over these loans.

For another example, Director Zhuo of the International Service Department of the China National Travel Service Headquarters, who is in charge of foreign tourists, and Chief Pan Ke of the Business Section of the Overseas Chinese Travel Agency in Beijing.

Similarly, there is also a close partner in the tobacco and alcohol business, Manager Huang of the Tangye Tobacco and Alcohol Company.

He Ying helped Ning Weimin to place publicity materials within his power, Manager Zhao from the Front Desk Department of Dongfang Hotel, Manager Zheng from the Reception Department of Jianguo Hotel, and Manager Zhang from the Guest Room Department of Chongwenmen Hotel.

And Qiao Wanlin and Ning Weimin's old colleague, Huang Suqin, the front desk manager of Chongwenmen Hotel.

In fact, the people at this table were specially arranged by Ning Waimin, and Qiao Wanlin was appointed as his companion.

It's just because this group of people are the masters who often eat out, and they are almost professional-related people.

They don't have so many rules together.

Not only can't speak high-sounding official Chinese, but he likes to boo and joke more.

In this way, when it comes to drinking, he is extra bold and open-minded.

It seemed a bit embarrassing to rely on Qiao Wanlin alone to socialize.

No, it's thanks to Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui who rushed over in time, otherwise Qiao Wanlin might not be able to bear the opening toast.

You know, when men drink alcohol, it is "a gentleman's friendship depends on liquor", and beer is not for fun.

Among the nine people present, there were only three women.

Qiao Wanlin wants to offer a toast to each male compatriot, that is, six cups.

What's more, one round is definitely not enough to express sincerity, so three times is better, that is eighteen cups.

These few laps have to be supported by him alone, so he must be confused.

So, thanks to Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui sharing the burden, Qiao Wanlin passed the toast without any risk.

As for the next step, the four hot and fried dishes for drinking began to be served on the table.

No matter fried duck diced in sauce, fried squid, fried fresh mushrooms, or jade bamboo shoots and bracken, each dish has both color and shape, with a tangy aroma.

Especially the bracken, which was a tribute of the Qing Dynasty, is currently the "king of wild vegetables" that cannot be cultivated artificially.

The taste of stir-frying is unimaginably delicious and crisp.

Needless to say, these dishes were eaten heartily by everyone present, and they all praised with emotion, but they earned enough face for Ning Weimin.

"Manager Ning, the chef in your restaurant is really good. I have eaten so many time-honored restaurants, and I think your dishes are delicious."

"That's right, the live fish in sauce just now is absolutely amazing, it's good enough for a state banquet. Thanks to you today, we really enjoyed a lot of food."

This is the two people from the travel agency who open their mouths to cheer.

Ning Weimin chuckled, and leaned on his business through Huatou.

"Love, if you two really feel good, you should recommend our restaurant to foreign tourists, especially Japanese customers. By the way, put our brochures on your station wagon, right? Everything is difficult at the beginning , Brother, I’m starting a business, everyone can help me a lot, please, please.”

The two heads of the travel agency looked at each other and smiled, pointing at Ning Weimin and shaking their heads frequently.

As a "caretaker", Huang Suqin was very good at supporting the atmosphere. She smiled sweetly and said to Ning Weimin.

"Weimin, help me, big sister, I have already asked someone to put the brochure of your restaurant on our front desk. But the problem is, you have made my mouth hungry for such delicious dishes. What should we do? Are you responsible?"

"Responsible, responsible. Eldest sister, you can come whenever you like, it's for my brother and me."

Ning Weimin was very happy, he really looked like Huang Suqin's younger brother.

After another slap on the forehead, he pretended to remember something.

It went smoothly and let Zhang Shihui take out nine big red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago, and put a copy in front of each of them.

"Everyone, I can't favor one person over another. Anyone here who likes to eat our dishes is welcome to come anytime. A little meaning is not a respect, and please accept it..."

These words are quite strange.

After several people opened it, they understood what Ning Weimin meant.

Because each red envelope contains a thick stack of ten-yuan coupons.

In addition to the steel seal on those coupons, it was clearly written that each coupon should be used as ten yuan cash.

It is only valid for the current month, and there is no redemption.

"Manager Ning, this... this is too much, no, I can't accept..."

Director Han of the credit department is obviously the most sensitive to numbers because he works in a bank.

The figure of four hundred yuan really scared him.

Although this is not money, it is equivalent to cash, so it can be used as money.

This is equivalent to Ning Weimin giving everyone a black and white TV.

Others had pretty much the same reaction.

I was a little surprised, but also a little panicked, and I was very hesitant to take it.

Nothing else, in this era, no one has received such a heavy gift, and everyone is dumbfounded thinking about the weight of this matter.

But Ning Weimin seemed very relaxed, and instead comforted everyone.

"Everyone, you don't need to be so nervous. I have no other intentions. Printing this kind of coupon is just for everyone's convenience."

"Since I opened a restaurant, it doesn't make sense. Big guys have to spend money to eat here. But then again, I can't stay here all the time. What if you want to come to my place and I happen to be away? Not only are you disappointed, but it also seems that I don’t want everyone to come and hide out deliberately.”

"With this coupon, it's different. It's convenient for everyone, and I'm also convenient. It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not. As long as you bring these coupons, you can take them out and pay the bill. You can even use the coupons as gifts. It’s okay to give it away, our waiter will recognize the voucher but not the person.”

"Another thing, it doesn't matter if the voucher is used up. At the beginning of each month, I will send someone to send you the same amount. After the meal, we will issue the invoice. In short, since we are friends, everyone Let’s treat this place as our own cafeteria. Be sure to bring your family and friends to join us!”

Look at these words, how thoughtful and beautiful they are.

No one present felt that Ning Weimin was not friendly enough and was not generous.

But these people, how could they know that Ning Weimin was cunning and clever?

Anyone who wants to know his true thoughts will probably have to make another diametrically opposite evaluation.

Ganqing Ning Weimin knows very well that it is tantamount to daydreaming to put an end to other people's behavior of eating and drinking these days.

For example, because Mr. Ma used to work in a karaoke hall, he repeatedly told the painful experience of doing business on TV programs.

It is said that people in the past thought it was beautiful to know friends for free, and no one was proud of giving money.

The result is this kind of atmosphere, which makes their popular karaoke hall become yellow.

Thanks to the filming of "Seahorse Song and Dance Hall", the loss was recovered, otherwise, I would have to lose my underwear.

Needless to say, with Mr. Ma's vaccination, Ning Weimin would certainly not be stupid again.

It's just that the specific situation has to be analyzed in detail.

In fact, in his opinion, eating and drinking for free is not terrible.

The scary thing is that there is no limit to people who eat and drink for free, and those who take advantage are those who are helpless in business.

If it is the other way around, if you can delineate the people who eat and drink in a reasonable and controllable range, you can also get some help.

In fact, from the perspective of public relations operations, it is quite cost-effective, and it also reduces operating costs.

Don't forget, it's expensive to eat at his restaurant, and the prices on the menu are all with profit added.

It is said that they are giving away [-] consumer coupons that are equivalent to cash, but in fact they are actually giving away [-].

And the key is to send consumer coupons, which can embody human feelings in a digital way.

This can not only make the recipient feel affection and satisfaction, but also limit the other party's consumption.

The reason is very simple, if the [-] coupons are used up, would you still have the nerve to ask for more in the current month?

This is actually much wiser than entertaining guests from all walks of life in a muddle-headed manner without knowing why, and making favors with people who cannot be counted.

To be honest, if you want to count invoices for reimbursement, these coupons can be transferred to others.

Moreover, the people who can get Ning Weimin to give coupons are all high-class people with a certain social status. When they come to eat, it is tantamount to advertising Ning Weimin in disguise.

This method is actually suitable for both Ning Weimin and the recipient.Are you saying that he is fine?
In addition, it is also worth mentioning that the capital of this era has not been too contaminated by the southern atmosphere.

No one regards "eight" and "six" as auspicious numbers, and no one is extremely disgusted because "four" and "death" have a homonym.

On the contrary, it is the "four" that everyone avoids 30 years later.

Now in the minds of the people in the capital, it is quite auspicious and very likable.

Not for anything else, just because in our traditional culture, any meaning represented by "four" is usually a good word.

It is like a quadrangle that people in the capital can live in.

For restaurant dishes, people in Beijing like to order Sixi meatballs.

The happiness pursued by the family is four generations living under the same roof.

Almost everyone who reads knows the "Siku Quanshu".

People in the capital also pay attention to giving "tobacco, wine, sugar and tea" in gift giving, which shows that they are all in balance.

Doing business is more about being connected in all directions.

Everyone knows a saying that goes, "Prosperous wealth extends to the three rivers, and business prospers to the four seas."

To describe a good climate and environment, it must be said that the four seasons are like spring.

To describe a person traveling all over the world to do great things is called crossing the world.

In this way, it also leads to the number of "four hundred", which is quite suitable for gift giving, in pairs.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Ning Weimin followed the standards of this era to handle affairs, and no one objected to it. He really got very good results.

After his words, not only all the guests here accepted the red envelopes with smiles on their faces, but they all enthusiastically expressed that they would live up to what was entrusted to them and would do their best to do what they promised him.

Even Director Han of the credit department had to reciprocate on the spot because he was short-handed.

"Then what... Manager Ning, if you still need a loan, you can find me, Lao Han. As a person, I, Lao Han, have made you a friend. If you need funds, don't be shy to ask."

Ning Weimin was really pleasantly surprised, he really didn't expect such a good thing to be spread like a pie.

"That's a good thing, if you don't make it difficult, can... can you give us another... loan of 50 yuan."

He thought to himself, if he can get another 50, he will go for this. All the coupons given today are worth it.

I don't know, it's all limited.

Director Han actually felt that he was so petty when he opened his mouth.

He said "Hi" and shook his head contemptuously.

"50 is nothing! We are the National Bank, and we never worry about economic risks. If you are really short of money, simply, I will give you 100 million! Is it enough?"

This is what acquaintances do.

As long as friendship arrives, everything is so easy.

"That's enough, that's enough, Director Han, I can't express my gratitude anymore, I have to toast you again!"

Ning Weimin happily filled the wine glasses of the two of them.

I sincerely sigh in my heart-the state-owned economy is too powerful!
Why is the economy in the south developed, and the consciousness is advanced so that it is easy to make money!

It is better to make money if the northern thinking is backward!
