Chapter 307 Bad people worship Guan Gong, but it doesn't mean good people can't worship Guan Gong
Even if you want to make friends with a businessman you just met, what you say before drinking and what you say after drinking are completely different.
For Chinese businessmen, the wine table is the best medium for people to get familiar with each other quickly. The principle is to use "Everyone knows that it is easier to tell the truth after drinking too much, so I deliberately drank too much in front of you to let you listen to some
The truth seems to be more sincere than before drinking, bringing us closer together."
From a psychological point of view, this is an active display of weakness.
After Luo Youyi and Han Xiang arrived at the cafeteria downstairs, they were quickly refreshed by the exquisite food in front of them.
At least there is a chef in front of Lanfang Red Dragon to help with the process. You need to wait. The half-cooked bright red lobster is on the steamer. At the end, there is a process that requires adding mozzarella cheese for French baking. This is not a restaurant that is stingy. No one is allowed to eat only one lobster.
, but for the most fragrant and pure taste of baked dishes.
As for the blue-coated fish, Lanfang white oysters, Eastern star grouper and other boiled vegetables next to it, you can take them as you like, and there is no need for the chef to make them freshly. They are placed on the floor like a running mat.
When Luo Youyi came in, he immediately saw the stall of Lanfang Red Dragon. There were several customers queuing in front of this stall. They all seemed to have met on the plane. They should be in the same group. There were about seven or eight people.
Each person needs to wait for about three minutes. There is a row of very long baking ovens behind the chef. It seems that many plates of lobster can be produced at one time, so the guests will not be kept waiting for a long time.
"Everyone can eat something else first, take a seat and wait in line. Usually each person waits for three to five minutes. Thank you very much for your cooperation. There are many people today. Our service is not good enough. Please forgive me."
The chef is a white man and worked very hard to explain everything in Chinese.
For these diners, if they are eating a buffet in China, most of them can grab the food. It is best to be hungry for two days before going. After eating, you can last for two days, and you can't eat anything else within two days.
But in such an elegant environment, everyone naturally became more qualified. Seeing that Tsing Yi and Dong Xing Ban could just take it, who would have the nerve to wait in line to get the Red Dragon? Besides, the Red Dragon may not be higher-end than Dong Xing Ban.
The store obviously doesn't want to save money, it just wants to prevent the service quality from deteriorating.
"It's okay, let's share one for the two of us. Can the master help us cut it in half from the middle?" Several guests became humble and felt that there was no need to have one each, and they continued to show their style and let the others behind
There are fewer people queuing up, doesn’t it look like they are quite qualified?
"Of course, don't worry. When baking cheese, you have to cut the shrimp in half along the line, otherwise where would you put the cheese?" the chef explained enthusiastically.
Luo Youyi watched from the side and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart: Associating with rich people can even improve your quality. This is the "tragedy of the commons" mentioned by those economics teachers, it's a small advantage in one place.
How many people are occupying, and how violent it is, depends on how far the poorest people who can come to this place will be dragged. We cannot be embarrassed and are thrown abroad. We must live up to our expectations.
Thinking about this, he felt a little embarrassed when he was about to get the wine after taking the dishes. He even looked around and found a waitress, who took the initiative to explain: "Miss, I was going to treat you today, so I can give you extra."
Can I pay more to get better wine?"
The waitress was very polite: "Are you not satisfied with the variety of drinks we have here? As long as you don't want Romanee-Conti or Lafite, we can negotiate."
"No, no, no, I'm very satisfied with the variety...but I will drink a few more bottles." He was a little incoherent.
The waitress smiled sincerely: "Then take it, you don't have to be polite about the quantity, we are a buffet. Are you Chinese guests so humble and qualified? When I was in Romania, all the buffet guests I saw were gobbling it up.
If you still want to take it after you are full, you Chinese are really gentlemen and you are worthy of being a country of etiquette."
Being praised like this by the white waitress, Luo Youyi instantly felt that he was getting better and better. This was a win for the country!
Just relying on face and willpower, everyone actually ate more restrained.
After a while, Luo Youyi, Han Xiang, and three or four other guests from the same group found a round table, and each took three or four plates full of dishes and several bottles of wine to lighten the atmosphere.
After drinking, people naturally started to talk more. If they didn't drink, everyone would be too embarrassed to inquire about the size of each other's business. But after drinking, there was no taboo.
Luo Youyi first revealed his net worth. He also knew that his business must be much smaller than that of his colleagues here. After a round of chatting, he found that this was indeed the case.
After Luo Youyi learned about Alipay's criteria for selecting customers for air tickets, he was a little puzzled and asked Han Xiang sincerely:
"Brother Han, I heard you mention that you all have a net worth ranging from a thousand to five or six hundred units, and you all run a chain, and the sales performance is so good, so you chose to join this group to enjoy it.
discount.
You also said that in Ark City, if you did not join an Internet cafe that helps sell point cards before September 10th, even if the chain has more than a thousand units, or you joined before September 1st, the installed capacity is less than 800
, all brushed down.
I'm only a hundred or two hundred people, so it's still early, but my performance in selling point cards is not worth mentioning at all, so why did I get selected? I'm really ashamed."
It turns out that in the chat at the wine table just now, everyone showed off the market conditions of their own cities. People in the Internet cafe industry help game companies promote online games and sell point cards on Alipay. What targets must be met before being selected for this job?
The second group received this honor and discount.
After Luo Youyi listened, he found that in the city where his deskmates were located, there were many unsuccessful small bosses with better conditions than him. This made Luo Youyou even more frightened, unsure of what he was doing, and not understanding.
After all, as of October 1st, there were already about 14,000 domestic customers in China who had joined the Alipay recharge system. It only took more than a month of vigorous promotion, starting from the second half of the summer vacation, and it lasted forty or fifty days.
To have such an achievement is very remarkable.
This is equivalent to an average of 300 Internet cafe owners across the country being recruited by Alibabas salesmen every day. It is estimated that Alibaba has sent at least dozens or even hundreds of local salesmen.
And Luo Youyi did some calculations. If the queue is first come, first served, even if he joins in early September, he will only be ranked in the top 2,000 companies in the country at most, and there is still a long way to go from the 300 companies -
In the actual operation of the company, Alipay's user growth rate is certainly not linear, but slow at first and then fast. In the first ten days, it may only introduce more than a thousand users, and in the fifth ten days, it may increase by 4,000.
many.
Because Alipay in today's world is, after all, just a tool for recharging online games and paying for online books. Its local promotion efficiency is directly proportional to the promotion speed of the legendary online game launched by Boss Bao of Zhonglian Games at the beginning of the summer vacation.
of.
The more people play Boss Bao's online games, and the more times Internet cafe owners from all over the country see players coming to ask "Does your Internet cafe have XXX installed?", the less resistance there will be when local salesmen talk to him about the recharge system.
This is a positive feedback flywheel effect.
But no matter what, Luo Youyi always felt that based on his qualifications and performance, he would not be able to enjoy the honor of being selected for this tour group based on seniority.
Han Xiang, on the other hand, was more generous. After thinking for a moment, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Everyone, I'm just a veteran, so you don't mind. Although many of my peers here have bigger businesses than me and better performance than me.
.But after all, I am a local snake in Fangzhou City, and everyone looks familiar, so I will tell everyone the details.
I heard that Alipay’s boss Ma, under the care of Mr. Gu, wants to provide more preferential treatment to early users in second- and lower-tier cities. I think this is the reason why Brother Luo is talking about it.”
Luo Youyouyi didn't react for a moment: "What do you mean? Brother Han, please explain in more detail."
Han Xiang dipped his finger in beer and gestured: "Look, among our brothers, I am from Fangzhou City, Brother Hu is from Hujiang, and Lao Liu is from Beijing, so we are all September
I joined the industry before the 1st, have thousands of seats, and have good performance in point card sales, so I was selected.
Ronaldinho, you are from Meishan, right? In inland provinces, in your local city, you should be the first to use Alipay, right? Maybe in the counties and cities next to you, there are also all the Internet cafes in the county or even the city.
Alipay has not yet entered the market, and netizens there cannot buy point cards for Zhonglian Boss Bao’s online games, so there is no channel at all.
Therefore, Boss Ma was ordered by Mr. Gu to favor early users in the newly developed market. Those of us in Ark, Hujiang, and Beijing do not have the example of a few of us. Others are also quick to look at Alipay and Zhongcheng.
Online gaming has a future, so we will continue to follow suit.
It's different over there. Businessmen from the mainland may not be as willing to bet on new things as our people here. They would have to wait and see for a longer time. Choose a few "models who have returned home to make a fortune" like you and give them preferential treatment. After you feel comfortable, you can go back.
Brag about it in your hometown circle. Maybe your colleagues will see that you have really benefited, and they will work harder to squeeze into the circles of online games and Alipay."
After Luo Youyi heard this, after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he was convinced.
Mr. Gu and Boss Ma are worth a fortune.
However, it always feels weird...
Luo Youyi thought about it again and again, and suddenly realized something was wrong. He couldn't help but blurt out: "Eh?! So, those who are doing XIAO, don't they also give special treatment to early users, so that outsiders can see that early users have so much money?
Enjoy it, get so many benefits, so you are squeezing in to come in and do it? If we do this, will it be counterproductive and be regarded as a liar by those smart people who are very wary of spreading rumors?"
Han Xiang couldn't help but feel angry and funny after hearing this: "Boss Ma just gave us early users extra benefits, but he didn't let you attract new users, nor did he give you a commission for new users. You don't know how to use metaphors!"
It is said that whether you are doing serious business or doing business, you need the technique of "first comers get preferential treatment" to build trust.
Faith is needed for everything. People who live in the world still worship Guan Gong for loyalty. Can you say that worshiping Guan Gong for loyalty is not good in itself? Is it because bad people also worship Guan Gong, but good people cannot worship Guan Gong? This is special
