In this world, there are many things that cannot be said or done.
Just like "You can only become a master by enduring hardships."
Just like "Don't do evil because it's small, don't do good because it's small."
Many people know something similar to this.
But not everyone can do it, and not everyone is willing to do it.
Another example is the principle of "taking care of one's head".
Ning Weimin can use it to teach his subordinates a lesson, but it is absolutely impossible for him to just focus on one thing.
His "extraordinary talent" and deep-rooted greed made him unable to give up his pursuit and attempt to have his cake and eat it too.
The opposite is also true, there are many things that cannot be said.
This is just like the handicraft store opened by Ning Weimin in Zhai Palace, which has a sign saying "Foreign exchange transactions only", which is obviously a good intention.
The purpose is to steal money from foreigners to subsidize the people and benefit the compatriots.
But no one could understand his fierce loyalty or understand his good intentions.
The people who did not know the truth regarded him as a lackey of the foreigners and believed that this brand was discriminatory against the compatriots. As a result, it caused another turmoil.
This is the lesson Ning Weimin learned.
Needless to say, in order to prevent similar situations from happening in the future, the "forex trading only" sign says that no more listings are allowed.
But the arts and crafts shop has to continue to operate as it is.
How can we maintain the store’s original intention of “killing the rich and helping the poor”?
This is a bit embarrassing.
Therefore, in reality, people take off their pants and fart, and Ning Weimin is the one who did it.
He played a clever trick and put up a new sign and gave it another name - the internal membership store of Zhai Palace Exhibition Hall.
But in fact, to put it bluntly, this name is just a myth, a pure smoke bomb.
What kind of membership is it? What qualifications are required? How can I join?
Just looking at the brand, it's all so vague that no one can figure it out.
The only thing that can be seen clearly at a glance is the limitation.
To put it bluntly, it’s not that members are not welcome, that’s the point.
Now it’s okay, just refuse ordinary people on the pretext of needing membership status.
It won’t be associated with any kind of discrimination and hurt national feelings, right?
As for how to retain foreign guests while stopping domestic guests, that would be easier.
The key trick is that this brand is in Chinese, not bilingual.
This means that only we ourselves can understand this sign, and of course we will stop taking the initiative when we see it.
Foreigners are almost blind when they see it, so of course they don’t mind that.
If I were to say something unpleasant, I would probably write "descendants of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces must die a good death", and most foreigners would happily go in to see the goods.
So can we say that Ning Weimin is not smart?
This is called the ability to adapt.
He suddenly changed from foreign exchange trading restrictions to language ability restrictions.
The effect that can be achieved is completely undistorted, or even better.
Because he also took care of the sensitivity of the national sentiments of the Chinese people.
Of course, having said that, no matter how smart a person is, sometimes he is misled by his cleverness.
No, maybe God didn't want Ning Weimin to live a prosperous life, and was afraid that he would be too arrogant, so he sent a god to calm his arrogance.
The appearance of Ye Hemin made Ning Weimin feel full of pain.
Not to mention that if this matter really gets serious, it will be difficult to end it.
The key point is that Ning Weimin simply cannot imagine how the Cultural Relics Bureau and the head office will hold him accountable if they know that the items sold to foreigners in his store contain Sui Dynasty antiquities.
As a result, he felt a clear sense of his own limitations while feeling the fear of breaking into a cold sweat.
I understand that there will always be unexpected accidents in this world, and I cannot be sure of everything.
Yes, if the wind and rain were to come according to the weather forecast, there would be no such thing as a violent storm.
If things can be done step by step and slowly according to what we think in our hearts, we won't be so anxious that we go crazy.
So he then realized a seemingly simple, but very important truth.
I am afraid of delaying anything. If I delay, I will inevitably have long nights and many dreams.
If people want to do things, they cannot seek comfort, and it is impossible to succeed comfortably.
You always have to race against time, and you will never wait until you are ready.
Otherwise, you may be like the hare in "The Tortoise and the Hare" and lose the game that you are sure to win.
Ning Weimin knew his mistakes and corrected them. He was very active and corrected his attitude almost immediately.
It was from this time on that he learned the lesson of almost dying before leaving the battlefield, and no longer dared to delay business and stay idle.
Started to promote the palace's high-end catering project with extremely high efficiency.
The first thing we faced was the problem of location selection.
In this regard, the District Service Bureau has provided two addresses.
One is the Xinqiao Hotel on the northeast corner of Chongwenmen Street.
According to the district's intention, part of the Xinqiao Hotel can be squeezed out to open a restaurant.
As a result, there will be four high-end restaurants at the Chongwenmen intersection in the future.
The Xinqiao Hotel at the northeast entrance serves traditional Western food and palace cuisine, the Chongwenmen Hotel at the southeast entrance serves Maxim French cuisine, and the Chongwenmen Hotel’s Bianyifang.
This will undoubtedly make the Chongwenmen intersection, which already has many high-end restaurants, even better.
It has completely become the leading high-end dining intersection in the area.
The advantage is that this is the most prosperous road section in the entire Chongwen District, where it meets Dongcheng District, is close to Tiananmen Square, and is also close to the train station.
Xinqiao Hotel was one of the few hotels in Beijing that was qualified to receive foreign guests.
Whether they are foreigners, tourists coming to Beijing from other places, or local upper class people.
Anyway, it has natural geographical advantages in attracting wealthy customers to dine.
But the disadvantage is that the area is too limited.
You know, Xinqiao Hotel already has a Western restaurant that was converted from the original sales department.
Everyone in the capital knows that "Bei Lao Mo, Nan Xin Qiao" is quite famous.
In addition, we have to ensure that the hotel can work and work normally. Therefore, there will not be much area that can be allocated.
After coordination between the service bureau and the leadership of the Xinqiao Hotel, a maximum of 300 square meters of Chinese restaurant space will be available.
This area includes the kitchen, and it is barely a medium-sized restaurant with a mix of scattered seats and large tables.
It is difficult to build a high-end restaurant with separate elegant rooms and private seating.
The district may also think that this area is really not big enough, so they chose another address, which is No. 87 Tiantan North Road.
This is a two-story gray brick building, with a large hardware store downstairs and the store's warehouse and office area upstairs.
The benefits of this building are obvious.
The space structure is very good and the area is almost enough.
It is said that the two-story building is actually roughly equivalent to the height of an ordinary three-story building, which adds up to about 1,200 square meters.
And it is only 100 square meters away from the north gate of the Temple of Heaven to the west.
But the disadvantage is that this road is not very busy, and there is not much area downstairs to park cars.
Another point is that the district has to find an additional place to relocate the hardware store.
In addition to related costs, you may also have to pay some additional compensation, which also increases some seemingly unnecessary cost burdens.
As for the Temple of Heaven Park, the garden management also provides an option within its capacity, which is the Northern God Kitchen next to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
The so-called divine kitchen is the kitchen where sacrifices are made.
According to the "Qing Dynasty Huidian", making offerings to worship the heavens is extremely luxurious and sophisticated.
Each grand ceremony requires 280 chefs to process the offerings.
On the day before the festival, officials from the Taichang Temple of the Ministry of Rites had to come here to help with the preparations, and the emperor even came to inspect it in person, which shows how important it is.
Therefore, the Beishen Kitchen next to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is a quite large courtyard. If the slaughtering pavilion is included, it can cover an area of more than 3,000 square meters, and it is also closely connected to a large long corridor in the shape of a ruler.
The advantages of landscape and area are very obvious.
But the disadvantages are also obvious.
First of all, if you go deep into the scenic spot, you can only do closed-door tourist business.
Secondly, as a non-main scenic spot, Beishenchu has always been closed, the house has long been dilapidated, and the courtyard is full of weeds.
It will be unusable without major repairs, and if it needs to be repaired, it will not be an ordinary repair, but it will have to be transformed into a high-end dining place.
The cost would be high.
Therefore, how to consider and how to choose has become an immediate problem for the tripartite partners, especially Ning Weimin, the general manager.
