"Sir, please come in. Do you need to arrange a room?" the beauty asked as she walked.
"Arrange a room with a window, have a pot of snowflake jasmine, and four snacks: peach blossom cake, mung bean cake, cloud cake, and pineapple cake."
"A man named Meng will come to me in a moment. You can bring him up directly."
Gao Jin calmly stated his request, and the beauty nodded and wrote it down. She led Gao Jin to a private room with a sign on the door [Knowing the World].
I opened the door and walked in. After arranging Gao Jin, the beautiful waiter left to make arrangements.
This person is definitely a regular customer, and he is also a rich man. A pot of snowflake jasmine in the teahouse costs 3,000 yuan. A plate of seven small pieces of peach blossom cakes sold for 700 yuan. The price of each plate of the remaining three snacks is also 700 yuan.
All are above two hundred.
Ordinary people won't come here to spend money, and they really can't afford it.
In the private room, Gao Jin went to the side wall to do some operations. Soon, a piece of classical music like Mountains and Flowing Waters began to appear, and then he began to adjust the volume, lowering it a lot.
There was music everywhere in the room, and the sound was not loud. I sat down on the Taishi chair nearby, closed my eyes and listened to the music on the chair. It was very comfortable.
About twenty minutes passed. The beautiful staff member who had just received Gao Jin came over with a plate, placed the tea and cakes one by one, nodded to Gao Jin and left.
The reason why it takes so long is because the pastries need to be made fresh. All the pastries ordered by customers in the tea house are freshly made. This is also one of the characteristics of Hongfu Tea House.
Gao Jin slowly drank tea and listened to music, waiting for Meng Guangxian's arrival.
Ten minutes later, the staff member who had just received Gao Jin came in with Meng Guangxian. Gao Jin stood up with a smile, shook hands with Meng Guangxian and asked Meng Guangxian to sit down.
He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Meng Guangxian, and said with a smile on his face, "Brother Meng, please."
Meng Guangxian nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then slowly put down the teacup and said with emotion, "As expected of snowflake jasmine, it's much better than the tea I have over there."
"Indeed, I also asked people to gather several top varieties of jasmine tea, but in the end, none of them taste like here."
"It is said that this kind of snowflake jasmine is the unique craft of teahouse owner Guo Songnian, and it is not sold for takeout."
Gao Jin also said with a smile on his face that he wanted to buy some snowflake jasmine from Guo Songnian back then, but Guo Songnian refused to sell it.
"Nowadays, there are more and more rich people. This Hongfu Tea House is also quite famous in the imperial capital. Most people really can't afford it. If it weren't for your brother's treat this time,"
"I will definitely talk to you somewhere else."
Meng Guangxian said this with emotion. Many people have said that the consumption at Hongfu Tea House is really high. A pot of snowflake jasmine starts at 3,000 yuan, a stack of pastries starts at 200 yuan, etc.
With Meng Guangxian's income, he really couldn't bear to spend it. If he spent a month's salary here once or twice, there would be no penny left.
"I chose this place first because I haven't been here for a long time, and secondly because it's quiet enough here and no one will disturb us when we talk." Gao Jin said with a smile, and Meng Guangxian nodded. The environment here is indeed quiet enough.
Moreover, the simple Chinese-style decoration in the private room, combined with some green plants and the faint sound of classical music, gives people a relaxing and comfortable feeling.
"Let's get down to business, what do you think about Yujian Flight Company?" Meng Guangxian asked.
"Brother Meng, you also know the situation. When there were no competing products, it was easy for us to talk about anything. Now that there are competing products on the market, all kinds of competition are needed, and companies cannot maintain high profits."
"If this is all, I will persevere. I still have this awareness."
"But the other party has now launched a weaponized transformation, which suddenly made me passive. I understand that national conditions are different, so I hope to establish a factory abroad to carry out weaponized transformation full-time."
"With this part of the profit, we can also make up for the problem of reduced profits of civilian products."
"Now Antonio has called for a meeting with dealers. At this meeting, he will propose rebates to dealers. If there is not enough profit to attract dealers, they will definitely be taken away by competitors."
"This is the only way I can do it at this stage."
Gao Jin watched Meng Guangxian tell his plan. Meng Guangxian nodded, understanding Gao Jin's approach, and it also had immediate results.
"Will production volume decrease?" Meng Guangxian continued to ask, this is the key question.
"Production volume will definitely decrease, and the number of spare parts purchased from China will also decrease. The specific reduction can only depend on the actual situation."
"I believe you already know why you did this, Brother Meng, so I won't repeat it. It's not what I wanted for things to come to this point!"
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he raised his tea cup. His intention was very clear. I have no choice but to bear with you.
Meng Guangxian raised his cup and clinked it with Gao Jin's cup. They both raised their hands to drink up the tea in their cups. Meng Guangxian picked up the teapot and filled their cups.
"I have a plan here. Listen to it. If it's suitable, don't talk about building factories abroad or reducing purchasing volume. If you can't accept it, just tell me clearly."
"What do you think I plan to do?"
After Meng Guangxian finished speaking, he looked at Gao Jin. There was a hesitant expression on Gao Jin's face. He really didn't expect that Meng Guangxian would give so much strength when he first came up. This courage was much stronger than Zhang Hongbin's.
He raised his hand and raised the cup and said with a smile on his face, "If Brother Zhang had the courage of Brother Meng, we wouldn't need to meet to talk about this matter today."
"Lao Zhang doesn't have that many resources, so you have to understand," Meng Guangxian said with a smile, and raised his cup to touch Gao Jin's cup, and the two reached an agreement.
The reason why things went so smoothly lies in Meng Guangxian's understanding of Gao Jin and his efforts to meet Gao Jin's inner expectations.
Putting down the tea cups, Gao Jin picked up the teapot and filled the cups for the two of them. "Brother Meng, try these pastries. This peach blossom cake is the signature pastry here."
"Lao Guo loves to study food. He has improved the ancient peach blossom cake recipe and used xylitol instead of sucrose, which lowered the sugar content and is not greasy."
“The most important thing is that it really contains peach blossom petals”
"Lao Guo collects a batch of peach blossom petals every year for professional storage to keep the petals fresh and use them to make peach blossom cakes. This is one of the reasons why peach blossom cakes here are more expensive than other places."
Meng Guangxian smiled and picked up a piece of peach blossom cake with his chopsticks and started to taste it. It was sweet but not greasy and tasted very good. Not to mention, it was completely different from the peach blossom cake he had eaten in Jinwei City.
The two of them ate pastries, drank tea and chatted. More than half an hour passed without their noticing. Meng Guangxian put down his cup and suddenly asked.
"Gao Jin, do you have another way to deal with this matter?"
Gao Jin was not at all defensive and nodded instinctively. Meng Guangxian narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, Lao Wei guessed it right. This kid really had a back-up plan.
After nodding his head, Gao Jin regretted what had happened in the past two days, how could he have made so many mistakes and unknowingly exposed his secret.
"Brother Meng, you can't be as bad as Brother Zhang," Gao Jin said with a wry smile.
Hahahahaha. Meng Guangxian laughed, raised his finger and pointed at Gao Jin, and shook his head helplessly.
"Lao Zhang is interested in you. Is it appropriate for you to plot against him all day long? Lao Zhang told me all the time that your plotting made him unable to sleep for several days." Meng Guangxian said directly.
"One or two days at most, certainly not beyond this time."
"He was the one who took the initiative every time, and I just passively accepted the challenge." Gao Jin refused to admit it, thinking that this was Zhang Hongbin's problem. If you didn't plot against me first, how could I plot against you.
Meng Guangxian smiled and stopped talking. He understood Zhang Hongbin's difficulties. Now he has become very cautious when talking to Gao Jin. Gao Jin is also a sensitive person.
Feeling that Zhang Hongbin is abnormal, he will naturally start to plot to prevent himself from being plotted by Lao Zhang. The two, one old and one young, have worked together for so many years, and they have developed such a habit.
While the two were joking, there was a knock on the door. Gao Jin frowned and said "come in" unhappily.
In the past, as long as the do not disturb button was pressed and no one came out, no one would come to disturb. Could it be that the rules have changed now and Lao Guo has neglected management.
The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man came in. Gao Jin stood up when he saw it, and a smile appeared on his face. It was none other than Guo Songnian, the owner of Hongfu Teahouse.
"I heard from the people below that a distinguished guest with a black card has arrived, and I haven't seen it before. I was very curious who it could be, but I didn't expect it to be Young Master Gao."
"This is a rare visitor."
Guo Songnian said with a smile as he walked, walked over and shook Gao Jin's hand, and said, "Brother, I didn't bother you to talk about things."
"What I said, how can I disturb you?"
"Come, let me introduce to you, this is also an old friend of mine, Meng Guangxian, Brother Meng."
"Brother Meng, this is Guo Songnian, the owner of Hongfu Teahouse"
Gao Jin introduced the two of them, and Meng Guangxian shook hands with Guo Songnian. Guo Songnian took out his business card and handed it to Meng Guangxian with both hands.
"Come, let's sit down and chat," Gao Jin said from the side, and asked the two of them to sit down. He took a new teacup and poured tea for Guo Songnian.
"Young Master Gao, you haven't been here for a long time," Guo Songnian said with a smile.
"Brother, don't you know about me? The company has moved to Rizao Market, so I have less time to come to the Imperial Capital. Every time I come back, I have a lot of things to do and it's hard to escape."
"No, I brought Brother Meng here as soon as I had free time."
Gao Jin smiled and explained that when he was in Yingsong, he came to Guo Songnian for tea when he had nothing to do. At first, he gave money to Guo Songnian. Later, he and Guo Songnian chatted together, and Guo Songnian didn't want any money at all.
