Chapter 184 The villain does not take revenge overnight
When they heard that Xia Zekai said that he wanted to pack two boxes for them to take away, both Yu Shuping and Bian Ning quickly waved their hands and refused.
Master Meng, who was driving the car, didn't worry about it, knowing that it would have no part in it.
"It can't be done. If Boss Xia keeps doing this, we won't come here again," Yu Shuping said.
Bian Ning nodded fiercely: "Boss Xia, this is not okay..."
"Okay, okay, don't take it if you don't want to take it. Let's have a drink first to moisten our throats. When the barbecue comes, we can eat something to fill our stomachs." Xia Zekai did not force them, instead of drinking wine, he drank first.
Already.
Perhaps the waiter in the green apron just said hello to them. The barbecue and other grilled vegetables for their table came quickly, and the waiter also brought over the fruit charcoal.
Xia Zekai has been eating the same thing for many years, so you won’t find it strange that he is familiar with it. He picked up the barbecue and held the blank iron drill behind it in his backhand. He poked the roasting pan with the meat twice with the tip.
, shake off some of the ingredients on it, and then put it on the barbecue grill to bake.
The burning sound of "sizzling" grease falling on the fruit charcoal was heard, followed by a faint green smoke rising straight up, and the aroma of barbecue then dissipated.
But Yu Shuping opposite, Bian Ning and the driver surnamed Meng on the left and right were all stunned. The barbecue they ate were all directly grilled and served to the table. Some barbecues were cold when they were eaten, and they were different from the ones in front of them.
The way of eating is completely different.
"Xiao Bian, you see this barbecue is really different from the one we have there." After seeing it, Yu Shuping thought it was so interesting.
This is not the way to eat it at all in Beijing.
The driver surnamed Meng said: "This is a bit similar to what I ate there when I went to Northeast China in the early years, but it's not exactly the same. How can I put it?"
When Xia Zekai heard them discussing this, he didn't take it seriously. He continued to read it a few times, looked at the color, and said with a smile: "It's baked. Teacher Yu, Teacher Bian, and Master Meng, come here, you guys try our food first."
How about I bake some more..."
Yu Shuping suddenly said at this time: "Boss Xia, don't call me Teacher Yu all the time. It's more pleasant to call me Lao Yu."
"That's it, it's Lao Yu, and there are brothers. You all hurry up and eat more. We can order whatever you want." Xia Zekai was afraid that they were making it too raw and would not be able to eat steadily.
The store also brought another piece of scallion dipping sauce, and a pack of soft and delicious biscuits per person. Xia Zekai gave them a demonstration. He spread the dipping sauce on the biscuit, put a piece of chive on it, and found a circle of fat.
As soon as the pork belly was put into the pancake, the left hand holding the pancake was suddenly moved to the middle, and the meat skewers, chives, and sweet bean paste were all rolled into the pancake, and the iron drill was pulled out with the right hand.
Put the small pancake wrapped with meat and chives into your mouth and enjoy it slowly.
Yu Shuping laughed again: "Hey, this is a bit like the way to eat Beijing roast duck, but to be honest, I like your barbecue better. The roast duck we have there is so expensive that I can't even get enough of it."
Listening to Yu Shuping's complaints, Xia Zekai felt extremely happy.
Bian Ning didn't expect that Editor Yu would complain about the "expensiveness" of Beijing Roast Duck. He thought that his low income would be fine. Editor Yu's income was so high that he had already become accustomed to it.
"It seems that I still overestimated the leader's income." Bian Ning thought so.
Master Meng had more straightforward ideas. He was the only handyman at this table. It was better to eat quickly and wait in the car to save the effort of just listening to them.
I don’t know when I will hear something I shouldn’t have heard, which makes it even more uncomfortable.
About ten minutes or so before the mutton and lamb legs were served, Master Meng, who was driving the car, said that he was full and would wait outside. If anything happened, call him anytime.
Xia Zekai still wanted to keep his, so he thought about it and put down the hand he just raised.
Yu Shuping didn't say anything else. The three people left behind continued to eat. Xia Zekai still asked the waiter to bring over 6 bottles of ice-cold beer. He said, "Let's drink slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Yu Shuping breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it wasn't liquor, and Bian Ning felt even more grateful to Xia Zekai.
The three of them ate and drank slowly, each casually picking up a topic and chatting slowly.
Yu Shuping talked about the fun that happened in the capital, and talked about some tidbits in their company. There were some things that even Bian Ning didn't know. It was obvious that after meeting friends over wine, the distance between them became obviously closer.
Xia Zekai also talked about his ideas for the next article. When he heard Xia Zekai said that he wanted to write a social-centered article, Yu Shuping praised him backhand.
But he also said to him: "Boss Xia, with all due respect, if your article is read by relevant practitioners, they will all praise you, but if it is read by ordinary netizens, nine out of ten people will not understand it."
"Just like your previous three articles, why do they have such a large number of views? To put it bluntly, they are down to earth. It seems that they can earn more than 100,000 a month and make 1 million a year. It's a big gimmick, but you can understand it once you click on it.
Wow, it really shows a way for ordinary people."
At this point, he paused and then said: "But social networking is simply a small-scale attribute problem. It cannot form a topical topic on a large scale. From my experience in the industry for many years, there is no topical topic."
There will be no popularity. Without popularity, there will be no traffic. I think you might as well continue writing the content of the previous article."
Xia Zekai started thinking.
The waiter brought the cooked leg of lamb over. The waiter said that they had ordered more, and also gave some lamb scorpions as a gift. They were served in a small, deep basin. There was a lot of soup in it, so I just drank a little.
Not long after, the waiter brought them the lamb chops they ordered, which were already grilled.
This thing is a bit complicated after all. If Xia Zekai and the others bake it, it is very likely that it will be overcooked here and not cooked there.
When Xia Zekai smelled the fragrance, he stopped thinking about it: "Lao Yu, brother Bian, eat first, and then talk after you're full."
This dinner lasted until almost ten o'clock in the evening, and later on, Yu Shuping and Xia Zekai talked about parenting.
Yu Shuping also has a daughter, but she is already in elementary school. According to his own words, the child is extremely naughty and the couple cannot control her at all.
In addition, the consumption in Beijing is really high, and he is the only one working in the family of three. With his income, which is not low at Sina.com, he still feels a little stretched to cope with the high consumption.
Yu Shuping just wanted to let his wife, who is not working, open a Taobao store at home, and he would find a way to divert traffic by himself, perfect!
When chatting with Xia Zekai, Xia Zekai did not hide his secrets and told Yu Shuping some of his experiences.
Bian Ning next to him also listened carefully. This was all valuable experience. If he could understand 20% of it, he would gain a lot in the future.
…
On the last day of June, Yu Shuping and Bian Ning left by car. As they were leaving, Xia Zekai came over to give them a gift and packed three boxes of Huiyuan juice.
Yu Shuping and Bian Ning each got a box, and Master Meng, who was driving, also got a box, which made Master Meng very emotional.
After driving for the boss for all these years, he ate and drank with Xia Zekai, served at the front table, and finally got something. He silently remembered this feeling in his heart.
For Xia Zekai, this box is only a few dozen yuan, a worthless thing, but it still carries the name of Qicheng's local specialty fruit drink, and it is also a well-known juice drink company, which has a different meaning.
Thinking about Yu Shuping's promise to him, as long as the following articles are of the level of "On How to Earn 1 Million", he will arrange for exposure within the scope of his authority.
For Xia Zekai, this is even more beneficial. As long as it is exposed once, it can attract a wave of attention for him. Behind this attention is at least hundreds, and as many as thousands of orders.
This is all money, which is much better than the pitiful royalties.
Xia Zekai asked, and based on his current popularity, Yu Shuping could give him a high price of 200 yuan for a thousand words, but a diary of three or four thousand words would only cost a few thousand yuan.
But after this article was exposed, he could earn at least 1,000 orders and tens of thousands of dollars as long as he diverted traffic for one day.
In addition, the next wave of fans will be accumulated, and there will be continuous income in the future. Unlike the royalties, it will be over in one wave and cannot solve any problems.
After Xia Zekai watched them leave, he took a taxi to Jingtong Food Factory.
On the other side, after the car got on the highway, Yu Shuping was very emotional. He had learned a lot from this trip and had a chat with Xia Zekai.
I have a deeper understanding of Weibo’s positioning, and I also have a little more confidence in ‘entrepreneurship’.
He never expected that a new product produced by his company would have its positioning clearly explained to him by an outsider who had never interacted with it. Yu Shuping was filled with emotion when he thought of this, and his heart was filled with emotion.
Are you thinking about inviting Xia Zekai to be a consultant to the company after you return?
Bian Ning thought about Xia Zekai's hospitality over the past two days, and told himself that if there was a chance in the future, he would have to repay this favor.
Jingtong Food Factory is still busy, but today's orders have dropped again, reaching more than 1,300 orders.
Zhang San no longer had the worry of going up and down. He knew in his heart that this was normal.
At the same time, he also discovered a problem on Taobao. They were the only ones selling 'Rongdou' on Taobao, but now when he searches for 'Rongdou', there are eight stores, with a huge sales volume.
Some have more than 200 orders, while others have dozens of orders.
In addition, there is a practical problem that we have to face. The products sold in these eight newly opened stores are all cheaper than those sold in their stores.
Even though it’s only two or three yuan cheaper, this is a critical point in Taobao Mall.
Zhang San has been following for more than a month, and he is no longer an ivory tower student who knows nothing.
Knowing that it was useless to worry, he thought about waiting for the boss to come over, telling him about the matter as soon as possible, and then discussing whether there were any remedies.
On the other side, old accountant Sun Guoqiang was calculating wages for June. He tried his best to add up all the costs in the factory. He also included some details that Xia Zekai had not paid attention to before.
Just to help the company avoid taxes within a reasonable range.
When Xia Zekai came over, he saw that he could take a breather when he saw the packaging, but the baking workshop was still like an assembly line. He was thinking that with such intensity of work, it would be fine for a while, but it would not work after a long time.
"You can think about this." Xia Zekai thought to himself.
As soon as he entered his office, Zhang San ran over: "Boss, you are here. I have something urgent to tell you."
"Say!" Xia Zekai started the computer smoothly. While waiting for it to start up, he made himself a cup of tea.
Zhang San said: "Boss, there are already other sellers of rongdou on Taobao Mall. The ones they sell are cheaper than ours, and there are still a lot of orders."
"Is this happening?" Xia Zekai frowned slightly, but he was not very worried. He understood that it would happen sooner or later.
The computer was turned on, Xia Zekai skillfully opened the browser, entered the word Taobao in the search box, and then logged into Taobao Mall.
After typing in the two keywords "Rongdou", he glanced at the searched product column and found that, as Zhang San said, there were 9 Taobao stores, one of which had a sales volume of 0.
This fucking new one has opened, it’s so damned!
Zhang San was speechless, so when I came over to look for the boss, I found a new one, which was so fast.
Xia Zekai opened all these stores and looked at the comments below.
I found out that one of the comments was actually about their store.
"It's delicious. This rongdou is really delicious. The boss's service attitude is also very good. It's also cheap. It's not like the shop next door. It doesn't matter how much sales it has. If I ask the boss something and doesn't reply for a long time, it's obvious that the shop is bullying customers."
, the ones sold are extremely expensive, and they don’t taste very delicious!”
There are also objective comments: "My precious son only commented after eating it. He stopped eating after less than half a box. However, he could eat two boxes of soluble beans from Jingtong Food Store in one go. I also tried it."
When I taste it, the products from the two stores have different flavors. I feel that the Rongdou from Jingtong Food Store really has the taste of formula milk powder. It’s cheap for a reason.”
Xia Zekai pointed to the comment and said: "You see, there are still customers who know the goods, but our response is slow and the customers are dissatisfied. This must be changed."
"I have already asked Supervisor Wang to help recruit one person, and he is currently learning from me and Xiaoliang. I plan to ask Supervisor Wang to help recruit another person, and he will pack the products when he is not busy." Zhang San also had a suspicion in his mind.
Xia Zekai nodded in agreement. He did not say hypocritically that customer service is customer service and packaging is packaging. The two positions cannot be confused.
After seeing so many merchants selling Rongdou suddenly appeared on Taobao Mall, Xia Zekai felt a sense of crisis even with the strategic weapon of traffic diversion.
He knew that after more than three months of hard work, he had successfully opened up the market for Rongdou, a new type of children's snack, but he would also have to welcome other businesses to follow suit after seeing the profits.
This is a natural phenomenon, but for their store, this blow is fatal.
To put it bluntly, no matter how poorly these nine merchants perform, they will divert customers who originally belonged to their stores.
What should I do?
I was not happy to watch them take away my money without doing anything!
