But this time in two lives, Hong Tao's temper is much better. It can't be said that his temper has changed, but he is more able to control himself. In business, you have to smile to greet people. If the other person makes you look good, you have to smile.
If the other person makes you look annoyed, you must also greet them with a smile. Otherwise, if you fight every day in the store, and at night someone smashes the glass and splashes shit on you, how can you still do business? The loss is
I can't get enough of it just because I have a good temper.
On the first day the fishing tackle shop opened, there were not many customers. The only people buying things were the two old men brought by Fatty Gao. However, Hong Tao's harvest was pretty good, with a turnover of 1,000 yuan, which was almost one-third of all costs this month.
, mainly if we can sell 2,000 yuan of turnover in the next 29 days, Hong Tao's fishing tackle shop can survive, and any more will be money earned.
Although it has only been a day and it is still difficult to see the future development trend, Hong Tao is more confident. Fishermen's judgments on certain fishing gear or baits generally come from two aspects. One is the advertisements of those manufacturers, such as fishing magazines.
Introductions on the Internet, sponsorship of various fishing competitions, etc., Hong Tao does not have the conditions for the time being, and even if he has the conditions, he does not intend to do so, because these baits are still produced by hand, and there is not such a large quantity at all, so it is not worth it.
Engage in that kind of purely commercial operation.
Another channel is word of mouth. None of the fishermen find a deserted water surface to amuse themselves. It’s not that they don’t want to, but there is no such environment around Beijing. The environment can change wherever you go, and the fish species can change. The only thing
The one thing that remains unchanged is people. There are people everywhere. If you want to be quiet, it can only be relatively speaking. Therefore, every fisherman is a living advertisement. As long as the fishermen near him see his fishing results, they will definitely come and ask.
Hong Tao currently plans to use this method to promote his fishing bait, and it doesn't have to be known to all fishermen in Beijing. As long as a small number of people know it, it can completely maintain the normal operation of this small fishing gear shop. Hong Tao opened this fishing gear shop.
On the one hand, it is for survival, and on the other hand, it is because of my hobby. I can contact more fishermen in the fishing gear store and get access to more information about fishing grounds and fishing techniques.
However, relying solely on Fatty Gao’s relationship to promote fishing bait is a little slow, and the coverage is also a little narrow, because most of the veteran cadres have fixed fishing spots, and they don’t come into contact with many ordinary fishermen.
Old colleagues from the work unit played together. In order to increase publicity, Hong Tao decided to take action personally and go to nearby paid fish pits to show his own experience. He could not only get rid of his fishing addiction, but also expand the reputation of fishing bait.
According to Hong Tao's plan, he planned to start from the paid fishing ground in Xihai, which is very close to Houhai, just across a road, and on the west side of Houhai. The nationally famous orthopedic trauma hospital is on the north shore of Xihai, called "Jishuitan Hospital".
, because Xihai is also known as Jishuitan. Beijing's famous "Blue Lotus Bar" is also on the east coast of Xihai. It was the opening of this bar that led the trend of clusters of bars in Houhai, but it took 2 years to wait.
The area of Xihai is the smallest among the three seas. It is roughly in the shape of a square. It is close to the North Second Ring Road on the north side, Xinjiekou Street on the west side, Jishui Tang Hospital on the south side, and Deshengmennei Street on the east side. It is surrounded by
It is a residential building. There is only a small hill in the northwest corner, with a small temple and a restaurant famous in Beijing: Shanfu Restaurant.
This restaurant is famous in Beijing, not because it is a time-honored restaurant, nor because its dishes are particularly famous, but because its tipping level is very high. In the mid-to-late 1980s, Beijing's catering industry had the famous "Three Knives"
"One Ax" refers to the 4 most expensive restaurants, among which the three knives refer to: Mingzhu Seafood, Da Sanyuan Restaurant, and Fei Niu Seafood, and the "One Ax" refers to the Shanfu Restaurant, because the tips in these places were very high at the time.
The prices in Beijing are already sky-high, so people use the term "three knives and one ax" to describe eating here, as if they were being slaughtered with knives and axes.
Of course, in that era, 9,999 out of 10,000 Beijingers could not go to these places. It was the early stage of reform and opening up, and most of the rich people were the first ones to go to sea and those who came from the open areas along the southern coast. businessmen, even the consumption of public funds by the government has not yet flourished on a large scale, and officials all ride bicycles to and from get off work like ordinary people. Alas, it was a relatively innocent age... The author omits the summary of 100,000 here. !
It is this Jishui Pond that has been privately contracted and turned into a fishing place for a fee. The contractor here will buy a certain number of adult fish from the fish pond where freshwater fish are raised every week, scatter them into the water, and then provide money to all those who fish here.
People charge a certain fee. The author can't remember it clearly because it's so old. It was about 10 yuan for 12 hours at that time. In other words, if you fish here, you only need to give 10 yuan to the manager, and then you can fish for 12 hours.
For an hour, no matter how many fish you catch, you can take them away.
There is also a fee-based fish pond that charges by the pound, which means you are charged according to the weight of the fish you catch, and it is more expensive than buying fish in the wet market. The density of fish in this kind of fish pond is very high.
It's big and never feeds. The fish inside don't even see the bait. Even if you go in with an empty hook, there will be fish biting the hook and they will be very hungry.
This kind of fish pond is mainly prepared for those who don’t like fishing. For example, if you are entertaining guests, what should you do? Just invite the guests to fish, but you are afraid that the guests will not catch the fish, which will be a disappointment, so you can come here
, guaranteed that you can catch it even if you are blind. So this thing is a kind of game, strictly speaking it cannot be regarded as a fishing activity. People in Beijing call this kind of fish pit high fishing, and fishermen generally don’t come here to play, it’s too embarrassing!
Because Jishuitan is located in the city center and has convenient transportation, there are many people fishing here. Although the density of fish here is not very high, and they are often fished, they become very slippery and difficult to catch. However, every weekend is closed.
, this place is still overcrowded. Of course, the majority of people go home with a blank slate or empty-handed. If everyone catches a lot of fish and leaves, then the boss who contracted this place should cry, and he will have to close down in one month.
Hong Tao deliberately chose a Saturday to fish in Jishuitan, because there are the most people at this time. If it is just for fun, a fisherman like Hong Tao who has free time at his disposal would not choose such a day to come.
It’s even harder to catch fish when there are too many people. But today Hong Tao is here to “wreak havoc”. Of course, the more people, the better. He wants everyone who comes here to fish know about his bait.
The south bank and north bank of Jishuitan are the best places for fishing, the east bank is slightly worse, and the west bank is the worst. This may have something to do with the underwater terrain, because this is a very old artificial lake that existed during the Yuan Dynasty. Regardless of
No matter what time of year the pond is or where the fish come from, the fish have their own uniform living habits. For example, carp likes places with debris underwater, crucian carp likes places with aquatic plants, etc.
If you want to get a good fishing spot on the south bank or the north bank on the weekend, you have to get up early. What? You said 6 o'clock? Don't kid me. If you go at 6 o'clock, the seats will be full. You should set off after 4 o'clock, under the stars and the moon.
When you get to the water, the fisherman from the previous night has not left yet, so you have to stand behind him and ask:
"Brother, will you still fish during the day?"
If someone says they don’t want to fish anymore, you have won half the battle. You have to agree with this person first, and I will wait for you until you leave, and then use your horse trap, fishing chair, etc. to occupy the position. It is best if you connect the rod.
Only in this way can you complete the important task of occupying the position. Fishing is an activity where luck plays a very large role, and except for your bait and fishing gear, there are almost all uncertain factors, so fishing is a very
Difficult technical work.
Whether the weather is sunny, whether there is sun, whether the air pressure is high or low, whether the water temperature is suitable, whether there is salary coming from upstream, whether the fish released today are fish raised in Tianjin or Jiangsu, etc., etc., etc., these will affect your day today.
Therefore, experienced fishermen must explore these factors in advance, and then determine what they can determine first, and what they cannot determine can only rely on luck.
