Things in the world are still so unpredictable, and things will always happen when things go wrong.
Ning Weimin never dreamed that he would use the membership system as an excuse to prevent Yakuza from entering the restaurant just because he implemented a restricted entry system for Ginza Dangu.
Kōgawa Haruki was actually so frightened that he rushed to contribute a small amount to Matsumoto Keiko's award competition.
This is definitely a mistake, a very funny misunderstanding, and an extremely ridiculous joke.
Its absurdity and coincidence are comparable to the story in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" where Zhuge Liang used an empty city strategy to scare away Sima Yi.
However, if Jiaochuan Haruki knew the details of Ning Weimin and found out about this matter, he would be afraid of both ends.
He couldn't laugh it off, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood, and even he would have to admit that he was guilty.
Because to be honest, the real reason why Ning Weimin did this was not from the pride of his strength, but from the helpless self-preservation forced by the cruel reality.
I have to admit that the last time the Head Office sent people to disturb the business, it did a lot of harm to the Ginza Danmiya business.
Because the more high-end a restaurant is, the more customers care about the dining environment.
Comfort is on the one hand, luxury is on the other. If you can have a unique cultural atmosphere, it will be a surprising bonus.
But all of this is far less important than feeling safe.
Who can bear to be frightened like this while eating?
Especially for the pampered high-end people, they pay business prices.
The last time a few Yakuza from the main house party made such a fuss, they scared away at least fifty customers on the spot.
Moreover, customers who made reservations that night will also find that the situation in the store is abnormal—there are too few people.
After inquiries, all those customers who knew what happened that night have not been back since.
These people even told their friends about it, which caused Ginza Danmiya's reputation and sales to plummet.
Who can tell clearly whether Tan Gong has offended Yakuza, or whether there are really flies in the food?
Besides, there is no need to distinguish clearly, anyway, no matter what the reason is, it is fatal to the customers who come.
Even though the food at Ginza Dangu is indeed delicious, it is not something that Japanese people can easily taste.
But rich people can enjoy more things, and they also need to stay in shape and healthy. The temptation of delicious food is actually not that important.
So a week passed, and the increasingly prosperous business of Ginza Danmiya almost seemed to have been abruptly interrupted by two running legs.
The daily turnover dropped directly from about 5 million yen to about 2.5 million yen.
It’s true that all your hard work is in vain, once you return to the pre-liberation period.
But that's not the worst thing. The worst thing is that Ning Weimin thinks that those Yakuza are likely to repeat their old tricks and come to provoke trouble again.
You must know that Shiro Numa reported the name of Haruki Kakawa at the beginning and left harsh words for Ning Weimin to convey to Matsumoto Keiko.
But Ning Weimin just tried to stay calm and walked away half-confused and half-frightened.
In his opinion, maybe within a few days, these guys will come back again to demand an explanation.
Why do everyone say "Rogues are like bullets, they become stronger when you are weak"?
Just because scoundrels bully the weak and fear the strong, this is a nature that is difficult to change.
If you don't let the other party suffer, just with a few empty words, the other party will definitely not give up easily.
But if he takes the medicine as prescribed again, Ginza Tan Palace will really not be able to bear it. Ning Weimin may end up in despair and watch Ginza Tan Palace collapse.
This is no exaggeration at all.
If not for anything else, it’s because the restaurant pays attention to the customer base, and the customers who come and go often represent the style and level of the restaurant.
If a high-end restaurant is repeatedly harassed by Yakuza, no matter whether it is innocent or not, it will definitely be collectively ostracized by Japan's upper class.
Which decent person with status is willing to dine in the same space as those guys with scars on their faces and arrogant words and deeds?
Yakuza is as annoying as a mouse or a fly. If you see this kind of guy, the only choice for a normal person is to avoid him.
So even if these Yakuza come to Ning Weimin's restaurant for normal consumption, it will be a harm to the Ginza Tan Palace brand.
If things go on like this for a long time, sooner or later Wantan Palace will become an exclusive restaurant only visited by Yakuza.
We must not let these rat droppings ruin the atmosphere of Ginza Danmiya.
In addition, if the other party comes back again, he must be prepared and it will be even harder to deal with.
I'm afraid it will be difficult for Ning Weimin to pass the test like last time, and he may not be able to pull off any new tricks.
If the other party really takes action against the restaurant's food safety again, and makes this information public, it will be confusing.
Even if Ning Weimin jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to escape. All the hard work invested in the Ginzuo Altar Palace would be in vain.
It is conceivable that Ning Weimin was in a lot of trouble, so why was he willing to take this risk?
So after thinking about it, he felt that it was the lesser of two evils, so he might as well establish a customer access system, but wouldn't it be safe if he wouldn't accept any troublesome customers?
The specific method is to prevent the other party from pretending to be an ordinary guest and causing trouble. Any strangers who have not made a reservation in advance will not be received.
From now on, the restaurant will only accept phone reservations from large companies and familiar customers.
For this reason, Shiro Numa was stopped outside the restaurant twice when he came to the door.
This also led to Kōgawa Haruki’s endless reverie about the powerful background of Ginza Dangu.
However, although it is a surprise to have such an additional gain, there is no doubt that injuring the enemy by one thousand will damage you by eight hundred.
As a result, Ginza Dangu's customer base will naturally decrease.
The daily passenger flow, which was originally small, has further declined, almost to the point where it has returned to its original shape. The restaurant's daily turnover can be more than 500,000 yen, which is good enough to accommodate 30 people.
Except for Banwa Kogyo and related companies such as Yamato Tourism, which held several dinner parties at Dangu, Dangu was losing money at other times.
The employees of Tan Palace can only start eating extravagantly again and study new dishes, otherwise the ingredients delivered every day will rot in vain.
To put it bluntly, when the business has reached this point, even the employees who came from Beijing are worried.
Everyone was more anxious than Ning Weimin himself.
Although such a life is comfortable, working less and eating well, it does not hinder everyone's ability to get money.
But everyone knows that it is impossible to stay comfortable all the time. Either business will pick up again, or business will be shut down sooner or later.
They all just returned home and decided to go abroad for a trip, where they could eat delicious food, broaden their horizons, and earn foreign exchange.
But Ning Weimin, who treated them so kindly, could not help but bear the responsibility for this huge loss. Everyone felt very sorry.
After all, no one knows how many industries Ning Weimin has outside.
Everyone is afraid that his reputation and work achievements will be ruined in one fell swoop.
So everyone at Ginza Danguan is feeling a little flustered and anxious right now.
Except for those heartless Japanese, no one from China is happy.
As for Ning Weimin himself, he is not as indifferent and calm as he appears.
He also knows that the most urgent thing is to find ways to open up the business, find stable and safe customers, and improve business conditions.
Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for him to make a fortune personally in Tokyo, but let the company, the Temple of Heaven, and the service bureau suffer losses.
What's more, Tokyo is now a prosperous scene of singing and dancing.
Due to the prosperity brought about by the asset bubble, whether it is the need of companies to recruit waiters or the need of men to pick up girls, it has injected strong vitality into the catering industry.
This has led to an increase in the cost of catering for corporate social gatherings, and large companies have reached a point where they can no longer negotiate without spending 100,000 yen on a meal.
A boy cannot treat the girl he likes to a dinner for less than 50,000 yen, otherwise he is not sincere.
In Tokyo, any popular restaurant can earn almost a million a month every day.
As for French cuisine, which the Japanese admire, they were the first to pursue luxury food.
Expensive foie gras, caviar, high-grade foreign beef, truffles, champagne, and wine are often must-orders for guests.
The average per capita consumption of French food starts at 50,000 yen, and there are many people who can spend more than a million yen a night.
But despite such a good year, Ginza Danguo has become the last resort in the catering industry, and its business cannot make ends meet.
This is such an unfair and shameful thing. Ning Weimin's pride simply can't stand it.
So he also actively did something to try to change this situation.
For example, we can imitate the cooperation with domestic travel agencies and take the initiative to strengthen contact with several branch directors of Yamato Tourism, hoping that they can bring high-end customers who come to Tokyo to dine at Ginza Dannomiya.
And I can share part of the profits with them.
But the effect is really not very good, except that President Takahashi of the Meguro branch of Yamato Tourism is kind enough to let his subordinates often bring people over enthusiastically.
The other branches don't seem to be very interested, they just do it for the sake of face, or they just occasionally meet the customers' requests.
Regarding the improvement of the overall situation of the altar palace, the effect of this hand is only better than nothing.
Later, Ning Weimin finally figured out what was going on.
It's just that these people who work in travel agencies are too arrogant. They think this kind of thing is not cost-effective and they don't want to make a few small bucks.
Originally, the tourism industry is a popular industry now, and no one has to worry about business. They are busy from morning to night every day, just signing contracts.
A monthly bonus of 1.8 million yen is no longer a problem.
Not to mention that if one of his trolley suitcases is sold, people from these travel agencies can get commissions ranging from 5,000 yen, 7,000 yen, or 10,000 yen depending on the brand sold.
Once this is done, the travel agency alone will be able to get a commission of RMB 108,000 just by selling trolley suitcases every day.
Who would want to take customers all the way to dinner and walk away with ten thousand or twenty thousand?
Even eating with customers, they think it takes too much time. How about selling more travel products and trolley cases during this time?
In this way, without enough profit motivation, Ning Weimin knew that Yamato Tourism might not be able to count on it, so he had to change the route.
But then again, Ning Weimin is so smart that he can have an idea in the blink of an eye.
For him, he is not afraid of difficulties. As long as his thinking does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties.
Although this matter failed, he did not lose heart because he understood that it was not that the method was not feasible, but that the conditions were not commensurate with each other.
Just like a man and a woman falling in love, if the conditions are too different, of course they cannot be together.
So after careful consideration, he soon set his sights on people from another industry who could also introduce him to the high-level customers he desperately needed.
Moreover, the source of customers is still very safe, and the other party will be more convenient and more willing to cooperate with him.
Those are the girls who work in bars and clubs in Ginza.
