The Great Doorway of Daoism

Chapter 148: Begonia Herbal Tea

   The next day, the convoy headed east.

   Haitang City is flat and surrounded by mountains, so the weather gets hotter as you go.

   Near the evening, the merchant fleet came outside Haitang City.

   At the gate of the city, two teams had been waiting long ago. After seeing the convoy, they greeted them all.

   is the first two elders in Jinpao. The red face is Tang Luli, the head of the Tang family, and the black face is Tang Wuwei, the head of the Tang family.

   Tang Luli smiled two steps forward, and said loudly: "The second young master of Shang is here, and the old will be welcome, and I will forgive my sins and anger."

   Tang Wuwei behind him is not slow, clasping his fists and arching his hands: "Tang Wuwei has seen the Second Young Master."

   "I said Lao Tang, you are too hypocritical. How could the Second Young Master blame us? Since you know you are guilty, why don't you leave Yingshili ahead of time?"

   Tang Luli glared at Tang Wuwei: "Old Tang, don't you carry it? You always speak so straightforwardly. I really don't know how your business started."

  Shang Chenxi held one person with one hand, and laughed and said: "The two patrons are polite, you will meet you personally when you work, and Shang is very kind."

   The three of them talked and laughed into the city.

Tang Luli smiled and said, "Second Young Master, why did you say that the old man robbed me? Because he lost the bet, hahaha. Therefore, this time the arrangement is that you live in our house for a few days, and then go to Tang before you leave. Family will be fine for one night."

  Tang Wuwei said: "So what? The business has always acted fairly, otherwise, how could they dominate the business of Xianzhou, how can the two young masters favor each other."

  Shang Chenxi held the two together: "That's natural, business can't be done, everyone earns money, and the two uncles are trusted partners of the business."

   talked and laughed for a while, and the three of them were in a car battle, and the merchant convoy was led to the Tang family mansion.

   Along the way, the masters of the Vientiane Gate saw from the car window that Haitang City is indeed the city as its name suggests. On both sides of the street and on the side of houses in alleys, most of them are planted with different varieties of crabapple trees.

   is now in the flowering season, and the flowers are blooming everywhere, the flowers are chic, and the colors are colorful.

   The sea of ​​Begonia has the meaning of "big and much", and the homonym of "Tang" and "Tang" means full of wealth and wealth. Therefore, the Begonia flower has another name for the wealthy flower, and has been loved by celebrities since ancient times.

For example, there is a famous saying in ancient times that "read all the shades of the world, Po Weng prefers Begonia red", and there is also "the east wind curls into the sogo, the fragrant mist is empty and the moon turns into the corridor. I only fear that the flowers will fall asleep in the middle of the night, so burn the candles and shine the red makeup." The poems chanting Begonia, and "Qi concubine is drunk, straight Begonia spring sleeps ears" has become a good saying to describe a drunk and unwakeable beauty.

   The Tang Family Mansion occupies a very large area, layered on top of each other, with water pavilions and terraces, and the guest rooms are also extremely luxurious.

   After the merchants settled down and had dinner, Shang Chenxi knew that everyone at Vientiane Gate was traveling for the first time, so he proposed to go to the bustling city together, and everyone readily agreed.

   Tang Luli was very interesting. He didn't come to accompany him, only sent someone to lead them.

   The commercial city is under the dim night, with lights and crowds everywhere, Shang Chenxi, under the protection of Bao Jianbo, Ge Juanqin, and Ai Qingrou, led the seven people on a stroll to watch.

   For more than half an hour after shopping, Shang Chenxi said to find a place to have a late night snack. At this time, they walked to the doorway of two shops facing each other.

   Look at the front door. One says "Duobaojia" and the other says "Laojiji Herbal Tea".

   I asked the guy accompanied by the Tang family. The guy said that these two are both time-honored brands operating the local famous Haitang herbal tea, because they face each other and they have been fighting openly and secretly.

  Shang Chenxi stopped and watched. After watching for a while, he said to everyone, “Isn’t Lan Ting always clamoring to learn business skills? I will start talking about business until tomorrow. I will give you a chance tonight.”

"You and the eight of you, Xiao Ai, go to these two herbal tea shops to have tea together, and show me carefully observe all the details. After half an hour, we will discuss and evaluate the pros and cons of their respective businesses. I will be at the wine shop on the corner of the street. I'm waiting for you."

  The wine shop that Shang Chenxi said is obviously for the wealthy. It is antique and elegantly decorated. The downstairs yard is divided into several independent areas by crabapple trees.

   When the eight people from Hualan Ting came back, Shang Chenxi said: "Today, change the format. Don't just listen to me. Lao Niu and I are responsible for guiding the comments. You come to ask questions and discuss."

   "First, make a point, doing business is the same as your practice. There may be a general principle of the Great Dao, but there are no definite rules when it comes to the path of the exercises."

   "Different scales, industries, categories, requirements, and eras lead to ever-changing strategies and methods. There is only whether it is appropriate, there is no absolute right or wrong, and we can't just use it mechanically. Today, we just focus on the current situation of these two companies."

   "Let me raise the first question first, and you all talk about it."

   "The business of the two brands is not bad. There are a lot of customers during the peak night at this time. You have to line up first. Can you see the difference?"

   The woman's heart is more careful, and Wen Yin immediately replied without thinking: "I noticed it. It's very interesting. Because the two tables and chairs are arranged differently, the queues are completely different."

   "Duobao's family is a long line in a straight line facing the counter. The guests have been out of the door for a while, but the old Jiji line is lined up next to the counter, and when there are a lot of people, they will go around the store."

   Shang Chenxi said, "Think about it, what are the benefits of each?"

   Hua Lan Ting said: "If you can get out of the gate in a vertical row, it will appear that there are many customers and business is booming, attracting the attention of passers-by. But sometimes, if I am in a general mood and anxious, I will also be discouraged from the long queue."

   Lin Xian Jing said: "When you are in a row, customers have the space and time to look at the category prices at the counter and decide what to buy, which can improve the efficiency of ordering."

Shang Chenxi said: "Yes, compared to the column, when people face the counter in the horizontal row, you can see the process and progress of the guys making and preparing herbal tea, reducing the anxiety during the waiting period, and subtly affect the mood, and the column often will Make guests mutter why it is so slow."

Niu Kelian added: "People want to have a sense of control over things. This feeling can come from the participation and control of the process and progress, but also from the sense of clarity in the eye. Now many restaurants are open and transparent. The same goes for the style kitchen."

   Yi Liunian also said: "Sense of control? Reasonable. My gang boss taught me before. After he confesses important things, it is best to report to him on the progress from time to time. Don't always delay to the end and give him a result."

   "Big guys, what they need most is not surprises, they need everything under control."

  Shang Chenxi nodded in favor, and then asked, "What else is there to find?"

This time it was Dao Jones who took the initiative to speak: "I am a more sensitive person. I saw that Dubao's folks will politely invite people sitting and chatting out, and will not let idlers use the latrine. Ji Ji is different. I won’t rush guests, and I can go to the toilet without buying herbal tea."

  Shang Chenxi nodded: "Yes, the observation is very detailed. The so-called details determine the gains and losses, and the pattern determines success or failure."

   "Let’s talk about the little details that you have overlooked. Lao Ji’s door is double-layered, and the door shaft is changeable. The hot and cold seasons will be set to open the door outside or inside."

"With this design, the heat in the door is not easy to escape when it is cold, and the cool breeze is easy to bring in when it is hot. With the two-story door transfer, the store is warm in winter and cool in summer, and guests are comfortable. The store also saves fire and ice cubes. cost of."

   "Of course, as mentioned above, there is no way to fix things. Some small fast food restaurants want to quickly turn over the table, and the environment may not be very comfortable, so that guests can walk around quickly after eating."

   "As for Dubaojia, from the point of view that Miss Jones said, it seems that the structure is not big enough, it is too small."

  Shang Chenxi had just said this, and was about to continue, when there was a cry from the partition next door:

"Where do you come from? You dare to chew your tongue secretly and arrange the Duobao family? Don’t you know that this is the property of the Huangfu family in Haitang City? Let’s see if you don’t tear your dog's mouth! Let you know that Lord Ma has three. Eye!"

   Everyone looked up, and through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the crabapples, there were eight burly and sturdy men sitting on a table next to them, similar in appearance and different ages, roughly similar to those of the Vientiane Gate disciples.

  The book shows that these eight people are outstanding children in the younger generation of the Huangfu family, and they are known as the "Huangfu Eight Horses".

   The Eight Horses put gold on their own faces. Tu said that in addition to facing the other four forces in Haitang City, they bullied, run rampant, and ruthless.

   In fact, the residents of Haitang City hated their arrogance and secretly called them "Huangfu Eight Horses."

   Today is the birthday of one of them, Huangfu, and a group of people are celebrating their birthday here.

   The second oldest emperor was sitting close, with pointed ears. He heard someone say that Duobao's family was too low and immediately quit. While swearing, he got up and pushed aside the branches, raised his palm, and hit him.

  Shang Chenxi let go of her spiritual consciousness and swept away, knowing in her heart, patted her chest, smiled lightly and said to the Vientiane Sect disciple:

"Misfortune comes out of the mouth, second master, I'm so scared. The young ones are all things you have to learn to recruit. You must protect me and don't affect the teaching. You listen to the lecture while you are playing. I continue to say, everyone if you have a problem. discuss."

   Speaking time, Huangfu Dan held the spiritual power and evil wind in his palm, and slapped it on the shoulder of the nearest Hualanting. Ordinary monks would inevitably end up with broken tendons and fractures.

  Hua Lanting sits still, taking a hard palm, and the tiger's body is shocked. Dantian is always vigorous, and his spiritual power is full, and he lifts Huangfu Dangao with a strong force, causing him to fall back.

   The person was not injured, but the seat was crushed, and the pink and green begonia flowers splashed his face.

   Hua Lan Ting said: "Since the store is opened, all the customers are here. Only those who have spent money are treated as customers, and potential customers are not received or seen. Therefore, the structure of Huangfu's family is low. Are you talking about this?"

   Huang Fu Dan sat down on the ground, yelling with anger, heard Hua Lanting's words, got up and raised his arms and shouted: "I am angry with me! Brothers, copy the guys, and give them away!"

   The old three Huangfu Chegao and the old four Huangfu Songgao both snatched it out, one person and one stick, and the first to attack.

Except for the elder brother Huangfu who did not do anything, the remaining Huangfu Migao, Huangfu Chungao, Huangfu Yaogao, and Huangfu Zhenggao all showed up and surrounded them~www.readwn.com~ Shang Chenxi answered Hualanting: "People After coming, staying for a long time, and sitting for a long time, most of them will buy something sooner or later and turn them into consumers who spend money. Even if they don’t buy it, it will bring popularity to the store for free."

   "It doesn't matter if the store is small and profitable. For a century-old traditional store, doing business is being a man. Don't be too snobbish or short-sighted. Popularity and customer base are all accumulated."

  While speaking, Huangfu Qiegao and Huangfu Songgao's long sticks attacked Lin Xianjing and Yi Liunian respectively. The stick was still far away, suddenly seeing the wind grow rapidly, the head of the stick that grew out of it slammed into the hearts of the two of them.

   Lin Yi and the other two put out their hands, twisted and sent one by one, intentionally or unintentionally hooked up.

   At this time, it was no longer the situation at the time of the creation, and when he spit out his strength, the other party's stick head was extinguished, the stick body twisted, and knocked back.

   Seeing that the momentum was not right, then the other Huangfu Four Highs offensive that was pressing up changed, the four spears concentrated on stab Hua Lanting, blocking his dodge space up and down.

Hua Lanting didn’t care at all, and asked again: “I found a problem. After sitting in each of the two stores for a while, I saw that there were a lot of exquisite kettles on their counters, marked with the words-dust-covered mountain springs. The origin is directly supplied, but no one has ever bought it. Is this a tie-in sale or a consignment sale? The effect is not good?"

   Niu Kelian said: "Hehe, that's a decoration. I didn't expect you to buy it at all. The mystery is like this..."

   Hua Lan Ting didn't do anything. He Dayi and Dao Qiongsi next to each other handed out four hands together, and the strong spiritual power shook back the spears of the four highs of Huangfu.

   And Hua Lan Ting was about to listen carefully to Niu Kelian's explanation, a sharp knife light, accompanied by a dreadful sword air, suddenly flew from under the table, pointing directly at his vital point.
