Gong Jian was still listening to Blacksmith Wang's narration, "Just like what Shopkeeper Tian said just now, the Chief Steward gathered Tian Ji's strength to create hundreds of hot pots, and opened a novel hot pot restaurant in the capital overnight.
store. This time, it attracted the attention of everyone in the capital.
They went from curiosity to acceptance in almost an instant, and the next moment they were completely conquered. You know, eating hot pot is a fashion in the capital now. Whether they are nobles or ordinary people, the first thing they ask when they meet is
Other party, have you eaten hot pot?
Because of this craze, the general manager opened three more hot pot restaurants in the capital. Each restaurant was busy from morning to night. Some people even went to the hot pot restaurant early to wait in line.
.Often there is a queue dozens of meters away at the entrance of every hotpot restaurant."
Wang Tiejiang was not very good at describing, but his plain words showed the hot scene of hot pot restaurants in the capital more realistically in front of Gong Jian.
Now it was Gong Jian's turn to be stunned. He had also expected that the first hot pot restaurant opened by the manager would be in the capital. But he did not expect that the business of hot pot restaurants would be so popular. After opening three
In the case of hot pot restaurants, they are still crowded with guests and overwhelmed.
Thinking of that scene, Gong Jian couldn't help but continue to ask: "What about the other restaurants and restaurants in the capital now?"
Hearing Gong Jian's question, it was obvious that Blacksmith Wang couldn't answer. He pushed Shopkeeper Tian who was still dazed beside him: "Brother Tian, wake up, why are you drunk after just two glasses of wine? Brother Gong asked Jingcheng
As for the situation, you'd better have a detailed chat with him."
It seemed that he had heard those things from Shopkeeper Tian before, but he had obviously never asked Gong Jian's question, nor heard Shopkeeper Tian mention it, so he was stuck now.
Shopkeeper Tian over there seemed to be awakened by the push from Blacksmith Wang. He then raised his head and looked at Gong Jian, "What? Brother Gong, do you have any questions for me?"
Gong Jian didn't know where Shopkeeper Tian's thoughts had just wandered, but at this time he was eager to know the specific situation in the capital, so he quickly asked the question again.
Obviously, Shopkeeper Tian knew the situation in much more detail than Blacksmith Wang. Gong Jian's question was completely different from that of Shopkeeper Tian, but he mentioned other things first.
Shopkeeper Tian pondered for a moment and then said: "Nowadays, regardless of status among people in the capital, almost everyone eats hot pot.
Not to mention treating guests to dinner, just for banquets at various families, they will also order hot pot from Tianji Restaurant. I think this must be related to the publicity done by the manager in the early stage. "
When he thought of the general manager who was full of business knowledge, Gong Jian felt a lot calmer. With him here, he didn't have to worry about the management of the hot pot. Gong Jian once again lamented that he had found a good partner. Only
Only a partner like Tian Ji with the human, material and financial resources can make such a big move.
Gong Jian sighed while hearing shopkeeper Tian continue: "Now many restaurants in the capital have imitated Tian Ji and launched hot pot. But, not to mention the time constraints, even if they can get a few hot pots,
Unable to scale.
Not to mention that they can’t imitate it at all, it’s just a similar-looking iron pot. There’s no way to compare it with hot pot.”
Shopkeeper Tian took another bite of the food, and then continued: "Come to think of it, the soup base and seasonings they prepare are very different from ours. Even if someone is greedy for cheap and has been to those restaurants, they can tell the difference after eating it.
come out.
So now, except for the hot pot restaurants, which are booming, other restaurants in the capital are much deserted, or even empty."
Hearing this answer, Gong Jian couldn't help but feel a little worried. He looked at Shopkeeper Tian and considered it before expressing his worries.
"That part of the capital is a mixed bag of good and bad. If Tianji Hot Pot Restaurant stands out like this, it won't cause any trouble, right?"
Hearing Gong Jian's worry, Shopkeeper Tian raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly: "Brother Gong, don't worry, our boss Mr. Tian is also a man with great hands and eyes. If he doesn't have a strong relationship with the people above, just say
The wealth Mr. Tian has accumulated over the past few generations cannot be safely preserved."
When Gong Jian heard this, he felt relieved for the time being. He had also heard of Mr. Tian's reputation. Not to mention he was rich. What was more widely circulated was his reputation as Mr. Tian Dashan. That man
It is said that he is a good-hearted person who is known far and wide for his kindness.
Although Gong Jian feels that being able to run such a huge national business network involves all aspects and almost all industries. The owner of Tian Ji cannot be that simple, but he has indeed heard of many deeds of Mr. Tian. He does do so every year
They all spent a lot of money to help the people and benefit the poor.
But he always felt that he was far away from Mr. Tian, so even though he heard about his various deeds, Gong Jian never took it to heart. In his impression, Mr. Tian was a man with great ability and kindness.
A big businessman. And now after hearing what Shopkeeper Tian said, Gong Jian added the words "authority and backing" to the label of this big businessman.
Next to them, Blacksmith Wang greeted them, and the two continued to drink. After another glass of wine, Blacksmith Wang couldn't help but ask Shopkeeper Tian: "Brother Tian, what's wrong with you today? You seem to have something on your mind."
With Shopkeeper Tian's behavior just now, Blacksmith Wang thought at first that he was happy for Gong Jian, but gradually he discovered that while Shopkeeper Tian was happy, he also had more serious thoughts.
Gong Jian also looked at Shopkeeper Tian with concern. He felt that Shopkeeper Tian's performance today was indeed a bit abnormal. First he was extremely excited, and then he was obviously distracted just now. He didn't know what was on his mind?
But as a junior, even if he had a good relationship with Shopkeeper Tian, he couldn't directly ask the question directly. Fortunately, Blacksmith Wang didn't have such concerns. At this time, he was a little curious, wondering how Shopkeeper Tian would answer this question?
As soon as Shopkeeper Tian heard Blacksmith Wang's question, he gently put the wine glass he had just raised back on the table and looked at Gong Jian with a complicated look.
In his eyes, Gong Jian saw admiration, love, hesitation and regret. There were any more complex emotions that Gong Jian could not express. He was a little confused. Why did Shopkeeper Tian look at him like this?
I only heard shopkeeper Tian say in a low voice: "Oh, I am just a palace keeper. I am so smart and clever, I have to be emotional. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the future generations are terrible." (To be continued)
