When Chen Zuizheng was sighing at his wit, a drop of water fell on the tip of his hair.
He raised his head and looked up at the sky, and found that it was already covered with clouds, and lightning flashed across the sky with a "click" sound. He didn't know if he was not satisfied with how he was bragging just now.
Originally, he was extremely dissatisfied with the PHS he bought to save money because the signal was too poor.
But at this moment, Chen Zui still held his new flip phone with both hands... so as not to damage it if it got wet.
I ran a few steps and walked to the mobile phone chain store just now to take shelter from the rain.
At this time, the PHS system started to ring and vibrate.
"Hey, sister."
"It's raining, Chen Zui, don't bring food over here, let's have hot pot."
Thinking of the last time he had hot pot on a rainy day, Chen had no idea why Zhao Wanrou was particularly fond of this combination, but still said: "Okay...is there anything else you're missing? I'll buy it."
Zhao Wanrou replied: "It's just that..."
Then Chen Zui couldn't hear clearly again: "Hey, hey..." Finally, he had to say a curse word: "Fuck..."
There was nothing going on at the side. The salesman who had just sold Chen Zui a mobile phone saw this scene and said leisurely: "It's normal for the weather signal to be bad."
Chen Zui: "What other normal situations are caused by poor signal?"
At this time, the sales boy took out a cigarette, lit it and said leisurely: "It's too hot in summer, and it's too cold in winter. In spring, you must avoid rain and don't get wet, and in autumn, remember to protect yourself from wind..."
Chen Zui: "Can I change to a Nokia now?"
Sales guy: "Okay."
Chen Zi looked at him with serious eyes: "Can you change it to someone else?"
Sales guy: "..."
…
…
It rained heavily.
There seemed to be a hole in the sky.
The salesman didn't know whether he felt guilty or didn't want to be beaten, so he gave Chen Zui an umbrella as a token of comfort.
But in order to prevent Zhao Wanrou and Wang Keke from waiting too long, Chen Zui still hailed a taxi, which was considered a luxury.
In the car, watching the chatter of the commentators, Chen Zui realized that Nokia, the almost invincible giant in the mobile phone market in this era, would be gradually eliminated from the market after the arrival of 3G.
Then in 2022, when most people thought Nokia was dead, in fact, Nokia's 5G patents have quietly returned to the second place in the world. It is an ill-fated one. I wonder if it can enter the mobile phone market again with the afterglow of the past.
Continue to write the legend.
Of course, none of this is important to Chen Zui.
The important thing is that he suddenly understood a truth from this story.
So what's so invincible?
Only by adapting to the times can we stand on the top of the wave.
Thunder Monkey King, who will soon hit the Internet with his song "Are You OK", will also say: "A pig can fly when standing in the wind."
This is a joke, just an exaggerated metaphor. In fact, whether it is a wave or a storm, you need to have certain qualities and strong capital to be qualified to fight against the thousands of troops below.
Wait for the wind to blow.
Sitting in the car, Chen began to think deeply about what he could do in the future to adapt to the times.
But before I thought, the car had already arrived.
Open the car door and open the umbrella.
Chen Zui rushed into the corridor as fast as he could.
After knocking on the door of Zhao Wanrou's house, he put away his umbrella and just looked at the shoe rack for a long time before he had to ask: "Where are my slippers?"
The slippers are on Wang Keke's feet...
She was sitting on the sofa, chewing an apple and watching TV.
Hearing Chen Zui's words, she turned around and found Chen Zui looking at her feet, so: "What's wrong...are these slippers exclusive to you?"
Chen Zui: "Nonsense, I wear this pair every time I come here. Not only do I have slippers, I also have my own water cup, my own rice bowl, my own..."
Wang Keke pouted: "Chen Zui, if you hang around for a few more days, the boss will become your exclusive boss?"
Hearing this, Zhao Wanrou smiled and said: "We are no longer the boss, now we are all friends."
When Wang Keke heard this, he stopped fussing with Chen Zui and sighed sadly: "Hey... What's wrong with this? I don't know what to do anymore."
Zhao Wanrou looked at the copper pot that had been set up on the table and joked: "How about we open a hot pot restaurant?"
Wang Keke nodded heavily: "Okay, I like to eat this."
Chen Zui looked at the two people's high spirits and took it all as a joke.
Putting on a pair of brand new slippers, he walked into the house and went straight into the kitchen, a place he was more familiar with than Zhao Wanrou.
…
Wash the vegetables, prepare the meatballs, and plate the lamb.
Throw another crab into the pot and boil it, add onion, ginger, garlic and salt, and the old-fashioned simple hot pot soup in the north is completed.
Then mix the sesame paste with water to make a paste, add fermented bean curd juice and chive flowers, and everything is ready.
Of course, when finishing these, the barrage guys started arguing over whether sesame paste or oil sauce is more delicious as a dipping sauce.
But there is one thing they are relatively unified about, spicy soup is the YYDS of hot pot.
However, these days, the hot pot market in Songcheng and the three nearby northern provinces has not yet been impacted by Sichuan spicy soup base. Although there are already many spicy hot pots and spicy skewers, there are only two large stores in the market that use spicy hot pot as their selling point.
It's the old BJ's old-fashioned hot-pot that's everywhere.
After Chen Zui got everything ready, he returned to the living room and found that Zhao Wanrou and Wang Keke were still discussing the hot pot restaurant.
He originally didn't want to get involved, but Zhao Wanrou looked at him and asked: "Chen Zui, you have a lot of ideas. Do you have any ideas for opening a hot pot restaurant?"
Chen Zui blinked and distributed the plates to the two of them, while saying: "No, you have just had a few days off. Didn't you agree to go see the world? Why do you want to open a shop again?"
Zhao Wanrou clicked her tongue: "If I ask you to come up with an idea, just tell me if you have any idea."
It's hard for Chen to have no idea, because after Zhao Wanrou's words, the barrage frantically flooded the screen with the three characters "Haidilao".
He didn't know what Haidilao was, but soon the barrages began to explain to him what Haidilao was, what service it was, and what the King of Hot Pot Chains was.
Chen Zui looked at it and said, "Let's eat first, let me think about it first?"
"Okay, just use your chopsticks quickly."
However, during the rest of the meal, Zhao Wanrou and Wang Keke, who were in high spirits, still did not stop discussing the hot pot restaurant, and the situation became more and more intense, and finally they began to think about it...
Zhao Wanrou: "Anyway, I have wanted to open a hot pot restaurant since I was a child. Then on a rainy day, I would sit by the window alone, looking at the boiling mist in front of my eyes, and then glance at the crowds of people rushing outside. I feel lonely but stylish.
"
Wang Keke: "I just want to eat. If I had a hot pot restaurant, I could eat three meals a day. The first meal is boiled meat, the second meal is boiled vegetables, and the third meal is soup and noodles. It's comfortable!"
Anyway, once the two chatted, they didn't talk about how to run a business, where to find the raw material supply chain, and what business model to use...
After talking for a full fifteen minutes, Zhao Wanrou suddenly turned back and looked at Chen Zui, who had been silent all this time: "No, it doesn't matter if you don't have any ideas. Why don't you join in and just be cool?"
Chen Zui swallowed the mutton and took a sip of his drink: "Are you kidding me? I have no idea? I'm afraid I might say too much and scare you two."
Zhao Wanrou and Wang Keke all put down their chopsticks and puffed out their chests.
Wang Keke didn’t.
Zhao Wanrou has ups and downs of mountains.
But they all said in unison: "Who are you looking down on? I'm so scared?"
So Chen Zui coughed lightly: "That's it, first of all, to open a hot pot restaurant, we must have a positioning, and then plan according to this positioning..."
…
…
Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Wanrou and Wang Keke were stunned.
Chen Zui took the time to take another bite of meat: "It's so easy to open a hot pot restaurant. Taste, operation, service, marketing, management, and supply are all indispensable, so let's continue eating and don't get too high."
Wang Keke nodded: "Nasi, college students really know a lot..."
Then she looked a little disappointed and frustrated and started to move her chopsticks.
Zhao Wanrou did not speak, but remained silent while eating hot pot.
It wasn't until the last step of the northern old-fashioned hot pot, mixing minced ginger, minced coriander, minced green onion, salt and MSG into soup, that Zhao Wanrou said: "Chen Zui."
"Um?"
"You will give a written plan tomorrow."
"ah?"
Zhao Wanrou looked serious: "Ah, what, I'm talking to you."
Chen Zui blinked: "Do you really want to open it?"
Zhao Wanrou blinked like him: "Then what you said is absolutely correct, why are we here making fun of coughs?"
