Chapter 245 Is there a store that the promoters didn't find?
"It's okay, just tell the truth. How many guests have come in the past two days, how many people have dined, and how many people have made reservations for future meals." Pei Qian was persuasive.
Lin Canrong answered truthfully: "A total of 8 guests have come in the past two days, 3 guests have dined, and one guest has made a reservation for tomorrow's dinner."
"Uh-huh?"
Pei Qian was very satisfied with the first two numbers.
Just a few people are not enough to see it.
Zhang Zuting will post a new Weibo in a few days. After this Weibo is squeezed out, there will definitely be no new customers.
However, there is actually a guest who has made a reservation for tomorrow's dinner?
There are so many rich people.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and asked, "What dish did he reserve?"
Lin Canrong reported several rare dishes, including tomahawk steak, caviar, matsutake, etc. The portions were not large and seemed to only serve two or three people, but the price reached more than 10,000.
And this customer has already paid a 20% deposit.
Pei Qian was silent.
I really don’t understand the world of rich people very well.
Although Pei Qian himself eats these things indiscriminately, and even invites his employees to eat indiscriminately, but it is all for the purpose of spending money for a surprise attack!
Spending all the money can benefit the system, and the system will make up the money, so Pei Qian can spend it without any pain.
But if Pei Qian is asked to pay for these things out of his own pocket, even if it is a home-cooked dish costing three to four hundred yuan, he will think it is expensive!
Look at this customer again, it’s more than 10,000 at any rate.
Pei Qian was originally very optimistic. Mingyun Private Kitchen has only had less than double digits of customers come to its door so far, and the situation was originally very good.
I never expected that among these less than two-digit customers, there would be a rich man hidden???
For a moment, Pei Qian felt confused about the current situation.
Lin Canrong saw that Mr. Pei was silent and couldn't figure out what Mr. Pei was thinking.
Logically speaking, this should be good news, right? But why doesn't Mr. Pei have a smile on his face?
Pei Qian thought for a moment and asked, "Can you recognize this person's accent?"
Lin Canrong thought for a while: "He speaks Mandarin, but still has a slight accent. He is probably not a native of Jingzhou, but a bit like someone from Pingcheng."
Coal boss?
This was Pei Qian's first reaction.
But looking at the bright side, since he is not a native of Jingzhou, he may have just come to Jingzhou on a business trip recently to do business, and most likely he will not live in Jingzhou permanently.
Since I don't live there permanently, it's easy to say.
Even if you are a wealthy person, you definitely cannot come here to eat every meal. At most, you only come here when entertaining guests or business banquets.
If you think about it this way, it shouldn't make Mingyun Private Kitchen make too much money, right?
Thinking of this, Pei Qian felt a little relieved, feeling that he seemed to be a bit out of control recently.
When this private kitchen is opened, how can it be possible that no news will leak out since it has to entertain its own employees?
It was originally planned to have so many rich people come over for dinner. In the long run, this private chef will still make losses.
So, there is absolutely no need to be so nervous.
After hearing that this rich man was not a native of Jingzhou, Pei Qian was relieved.
The two of them chatted casually about the daily operations of the private kitchen, and Xiao Sun drove back.
"Then let's do this for now. Remember our service tenet. Even if you are a wealthy person, the rules cannot be broken. Just let the waiters treat you with a normal heart."
"Also, our store name cannot be spread outside."
Pei Qian gave a few more instructions, got in the car and left.
After seeing Mr. Pei off, Lin Canrong savored the profound meaning of his words.
"What Mr. Pei means is that you don't need to be too nervous even if you meet a rich man, because Mingyun Private Kitchen will have many rich customers in the future?"
"If the rules are broken now for one rich man, then when there are more rich men, the rules will be in vain."
"Well, that makes sense!"
"Mr. Pei really has a long-term vision. When he set the rules, he thought about how Mingyun Private Kitchen would become popular in the future. He really planned for a rainy day."
"So Mr. Pei is also reminding me not to be easily satisfied. How can I be so happy just because a rich man has arrived? I am also the manager of a store now, so I have to calm down."
"In the future, it should be normal for rich people to come to eat."
"Let's go and convey Mr. Pei's spirit to the clerks."
Lin Canrong felt that the future of Mingyun Private Kitchen was bright, and he happily shared the good news with others.
…
…
Saturday, August 21st.
Ming Yun's private kitchen has to prepare dinner for the evening.
Qiao Liang planned to go to Jingzhou in the morning and play casually, and then take another class in the afternoon to continue playing "Return to the Shore".
Mr. Pei is so interesting, the task must be completed with quality and quantity.
On the Yangyang Games side, the research and development of "Hot-Blooded War Song Power Enhanced Edition" has been completed and is just waiting for the final test before it can be officially advertised and launched online.
Today is Saturday. According to Mr. Pei’s consistent request, overtime is not allowed on holidays.
As the director, Lin Wan wanted to persuade everyone to go back at first, but now that the game launch date was getting closer and closer, Wang Xiaobin and Ye Zhizhou couldn't sit still at home and strongly requested to come back and work overtime, so Lin Wan had no choice but to agree.
Of course, Lin Wan couldn't stay idle either.
When we think about the game that we have put so much effort into, it will be officially launched to meet the players in a week, everyone feels both excited and anxious.
The micro-end of "Hot-Blooded War Song Power Enhanced Edition" was finally controlled at 370m, which completely exceeded everyone's initial expectations.
The original "War Song" is a web game that can be played immediately;
For most web games, the micro-client is controlled within 5m;
For a small number of web games, the micro client is 30 to 50m.
No matter how big it is, it won't be called a micro-client, because according to the standards of web games, the time to download 370m of data is too long, and players might as well go directly to play client games.
Absolutely most web game players will find it difficult to endure downloading 370m of data.
But Lin Wan had no better way, because according to the previous standards, "Hot Blooded War Song Power Enhanced Edition" changed from 2D to 3D, and the art resources were redone. No matter how compressed or optimized these resources were, it would be difficult to move forward.
Pressed down.
370m is already the result of a lot of effort and optimization.
The risk is very high, but the matter has come to this, and there is no turning back.
Thinking on the bright side, maybe you can forcibly change the tastes of some traditional web game players with game quality and fair gameplay that far exceeds that of ordinary web games?
What's more, there are advertisements designed by Mr. Pei himself.
Lin Wan was not sure, but she believed that Mr. Pei must have made arrangements in advance.
Wang Xiaobin knocked on the door lightly: "Director Lin, the preliminary publicity work is ready."
"At present, we mainly put it on various websites, including websites, video websites, game websites, animation websites, website navigation, etc."
"As promised before, our promotional videos will not have forced pop-ups or webpage psoriasis. Only when players click on them will they jump to the game's registration and download page."
Although they still advertised regularly, under Lin Wan's insistence, some of the more annoying advertising methods were banned.
In fact, current web game advertisements are still full of chaos, such as inexplicably popping up web pages and popping up psoriasis ads in the lower right corner, which are commonplace and have brought a very poor experience to many netizens.
But I have to say that this shameless pop-up method is also the most effective.
Rejecting this pop-up method will reduce the effectiveness of advertising, and it may not be able to gain a good reputation - because netizens may not be aware of this at all.
But Lin Wan discussed it with everyone and decided to take this approach.
After all, Yangyang Games is no longer the same Yangyang Games it used to be, and it must be completely distinguished from those browser game manufacturers that have no bottom line.
Lin Wan was very satisfied after listening to Wang Xiaobin's report: "Thank you for your hard work. The next task is to polish the game again. It may be difficult to change the players' taste, but we have tried hard."
Wang Xiaobin nodded, deeply agreeing with Lin Wan's statement.
Although Director Lin did not manage everything during the R&D period in detail, this optimistic and high-spirited spirit is indeed in line with President Pei, which is rare.
"Then, everyone, be prepared. There will be another week for the final test, and let some old players come in to experience the game and give their opinions."
"One week later, the game will be officially launched and the publicity work will be fully launched!"
…
…
In the evening, Mingyun private chef.
"Look, I told you that there is a great restaurant here, and you didn't believe it. Do you believe it now? The promoters you hired are not good at their business!"
Xue Zhebin crossed his legs and had a smile on his face, feeling very proud.
The meal I made a reservation for yesterday was really a profit!
As soon as he entered the door, Xue Zhebin felt something different.
The decoration in the entire private room, as well as the dining table and tableware, have all been changed!
When I arrived at noon yesterday, because there were no other guests at Mingyun Private Kitchen, Xue Zhebin also chose this private room, but there was no reservation at that time, so the private room still had conventional decoration. Although the environment was good, it had no special features.
Today is different, because Xue Zhebin has made a reservation in advance, so the decoration of the private room, dining table, and tableware are also determined according to the food. The entire style is highly unified, including the tablecloths and the layout on the dining table. It can be seen that the care is taken
prepared.
In short, as soon as I walked in, my eyes lit up!
The young man sitting opposite Xue Zhebin looked slightly older than him, but he was still under thirty years old.
Completely different from Xue Zhebin's nouveau riche temperament, this young man wears formal clothes and has a complete business style. The first impression he gives is that he is a professional elite.
At this time, he was tasting the food and looking at the review software on his mobile phone in confusion.
"There is such a high-quality private chef in Jingzhou City, but our promoters couldn't find it. How did you find it?"
On the map of the review software, this place is just an ordinary open space with nothing.
Xue Zhebin smiled very proudly: "You don't care how I found it. If you lose the bet, you can treat me to this meal!"
The young man sitting across from him is Wang Peng, one of the co-founders of Dianping.
As a survivor after the group buying website war, Dianping has been rapidly expanding from first-tier cities to second- and third-tier cities in recent years, and Jingzhou is one of the key cities it targets.
In order to expand the market faster and attract merchants, Wang Peng proposed to set up "promoters" in each city. The promoters' daily job is to find some unexplored stores and persuade them to become Dianping's cooperative merchants.
The promoter system has indeed achieved good results. Dianping has expanded rapidly in Jingzhou and now covers the vast majority of merchants.
Especially for some restaurants with excellent dishes and high quality, promoters will receive generous performance commissions after successfully establishing a cooperative relationship, so promoters of Dianping.com are sparing no effort to discover such restaurants.
Even if the merchant is unwilling to establish a cooperative relationship, the store will at least be marked on Dianping's website. This situation should not be empty on the map.
It was precisely for this reason that Wang Peng did not believe what Xue Zhebin said and was a little dissatisfied.
He felt that there was no way in Jingzhou that such a high-end restaurant in every aspect had not been discovered by Dianping.com.
The waiter stood nearby with a smile, waiting for service.
Wang Peng asked: "How long has your store been open?"
The waiter smiled and replied: "It's been more than half a month."
Wang Peng was even more confused.
He really couldn't figure out what was going on. Dianping had so many promoters in Jingzhou, and they were looking around for any undiscovered merchants every day. It turned out that this store had been open for more than half a month.
None of the promoters noticed it, but Xue Zhebin did.
This is too nonsense.
Wang Peng asked again: "What is the name of your store?"
He considered that he could win over the owner of this store and establish a cooperative relationship with Dianping.com.
The waiter smiled and replied: "Sir, our store has no name."
"We hope that what you remember here is the good dining environment, the meticulous and thoughtful service, and the delicious food that makes you forget to come back, rather than a false name."
