It's impossible for such a big store to give away free gifts, so what's the point of friendship? Lao Tan just talked about it and forgot about it after a while.
Gu Yi opened two more stores, now totaling five. This year's plan has been successfully completed.
When the fifth store opened, Lao Tan came over from Changsha to celebrate.
Of course, the wine party in the evening was indispensable, and the attendees were all old friends, brother and sister Qiao Gang, Court Sister Wang, Boss Zhang, Boss Xu, as well as our wheelchair girl A Mei and her parents.
There was another person at the wine table, Hao Nansheng, whom Lao Tan and Gu Yi rescued on the highway. He had always been in contact with Gu Yi. Lao Tan didn't call him after arriving in Changsha, and it was okay. He seemed to call him to ask him to return the favor.
It's like a human thing, and you can't do it wrong.
Hao Nansheng was very grateful for this meeting, asked Lao Tan about the location of his Changsha store, and said he would definitely go there when he returned.
After drinking the wine, Gu Yi arranged to sing. Everyone responded and went together.
There are people in this world who don't know the importance of things. When Ami was singing, the waiter refilled the wine and forgot to close the door when she came in, and the beautiful singing voice floated out.
By coincidence, I happened to catch up with two dandy boys going to the bathroom. They were attracted by the singing, so they stood at the door and looked in. It was just a look, but unexpectedly, the frivolity got up and they started playing when the singing stopped.
Whistling and speaking dirty and dirty words.
These two boys were also drunk. Before they whistled and said obscene words, they looked at the private room in front of them. Not everyone can enter the luxurious private room in the super high-end KTV. It must be a VIP with a black gold card.
.
To put it more aggressively, the waiters responsible for ordering songs must have a bachelor's degree and speak at least two foreign languages.
Of course, these two boys have a good background, otherwise they wouldn't be so arrogant.
The people in the room didn't react much to the two boys. They all knew they had drunk too much and ignored them.
The waiter hurried over and closed the door, saying: "Master Zhang, Master Ma-----" which means don't disturb others.
It seems that he is a regular customer and the waiters all know him.
The two young masters didn't understand. They felt that they were the sponsors and could walk sideways here, so they raised their voices.
Others could keep their composure, but Gu Yi got angry and was not used to his bad habits. He walked over to the two big mouths and beat the two boys into a daze. Then he reacted and rushed up with a howl.
The eldest brother is the eldest brother, and he can still deal with two little brats.
But they were not the only ones here. The sound of fighting alerted the accomplices, and seven or eight young men and women rushed out from the private room at the end of the corridor, screaming and rushing forward.
Not showing any weakness here, Lao Tan, Hao Nansheng, Boss Zhang, Boss Xu, and Amei’s father also rushed forward.
As the saying goes, impulse is the devil, and a melee began.
A fight started here, and the security guard over there was notified and immediately ran over to start a fight, and the manager also came over.
The manager knew both the young masters and Qiao Gang. He knew that the two young masters had backgrounds, and he also knew that Qiao Gang was the one who had the most to lose. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and rely on being beaten to instruct the security guards to pull them apart. Then he and the security guards
Stand between the two groups of people to form a separation wall.
The two young masters were arrogant and threatened to kill Gu Yi and others by calling people.
Qiao Gang calmly asked Qiao Shan to make two phone calls with a smile, and then invited everyone into the private room to continue drinking.
Seeing that Qiao Gang was safe, the manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and led the security guards, not daring to leave. He stood guard at the door and called the boss. The two young masters stayed with two people to watch, and the others also responded.
Got a private room.
"Isn't this someone's prodigal son? What would he do if he was born like this?" Qiao Gang said with a smile.
"The harmonious society saved them." Gu Yi took a sip of wine and then said: "A bunch of brats who don't know how high the world is."
Sister Wang from the court laughed and said: "Gu Yi, you are still so warlike and your skills are still as good as before."
Gu Yi said: "No, I'm old and inflexible." Then he curiously said to Lao Tan: "I didn't see it, he's quite fat and he's pretty good at fighting."
Lao Tan smiled and said nothing, drinking with Qiao Gang.
It didn't take long, only twenty minutes, when there was a noise outside the door. Then the boss opened the door and came in, apologizing to Qiao Gang with a smile on his face.
The people the two young masters were looking for also came and entered the lobby aggressively. In the corridor, they met the person Qiao Shan had called. They recognized each other at first glance, and they were not powerful. They knew that this matter could not be dealt with. They also heard that the person was Qiao Gang.
, quickly reported it to the two young masters and asked them to admit their mistake.
The two young masters woke up immediately when they heard that Qiao Gang had been drinking. They knew that they had offended someone they shouldn't have offended. Even if their father came in person, it would not help. If not, they would have to be removed from the business world.
I was so frightened that I didn't dare to come out.
The people Qiao Shan called went directly into the house to put an end to the situation. They gave the two young masters a "gentle lesson" and then took them away like dead dogs.
The matter was settled with an overwhelming advantage. Everyone played for a while and then withdrew.
Lao Tan and Gu Yi returned to the courtyard and sat down to drink tea.
Gu Yi said: "Brother Tan, I plan to open three more stores during the Chinese New Year. I have eight stores, Qiao Shan's five stores, and thirteen stores are enough."
Lao Tan said: "That's enough."
"If you open it again, you will be competing with yourself. Besides, you have to leave room for others. I understand the principle of surviving on a penny and starving to death on a dime." Gu Yi said.
"That's the truth." Lao Tan then asked: "If Suzhou is closed, what other places can we open?"
"I don't have any plans for other places. Let's stabilize things first. It's not a good idea to open a store in a hurry. It's also not good if the front line is too long and supplies can't be brought in."
"indeed."
"I suggest you stop at the Changsha market after you finish it. It will last for two years." Gu Yi said.
Lao Tan thought for a while and said: "We need to be steady--the development has been a bit fast in the past two years, and we have overlooked something--although we have plans every year, the long-term plan is not clear.
Not clear, no sense of direction.”
Gu Yi took a sip of tea, then lit a cigarette and said, "This is my plan. During the Chinese New Year, which is the eighth year, I will open three stores in the first half of the year, and start going out for a walk in the second half of the year. I can't hold it in at home.
If your mind is confused, go out for a change of air."
"Have you decided where to go?" Lao Tan asked.
"If you don't tell me how good the food in Chengdu is, go there first, then Chongqing, Guilin, and Guangzhou." Gu Yi said.
"Very good, call me when you go." Lao Tan said.
"What did I ask you to do?" Gu Yi asked, and then said: "I can go by myself, you are busy with your work."
Lao Tan was stunned by Gu Yi's refusal. He looked at Gu Yi's harmless face, then thought of something and asked, "Aren't you going alone?"
"I'm alone." Gu Yi said, with an imperceptible evasive look on his face.
Lao Tan laughed, avoided the topic and asked: "How is your son doing lately? I heard he is cooking on the stove."
"It's time to cook, and Erdun is bringing it with him," Gu Yi replied.
"Okay, let's train him first, and in two years let him get in touch with management. When you get old, you can take over."
"Don't talk about brother, that guy is really good at restaurants." Gu Yi's eyes started to shine.
"It's mainly because of his strong genes. Isn't his father a big restaurant boss?" Lao Tan said half-jokingly, and then asked: "Is Sister Wang going to quit? I heard her mumbling while drinking today."
"Yes, I will retire after the new year." Gu Yi said.
"It's better to retire, take care of your health, go out for travel, walk around, and be cool and unrestrained." Lao Tan said.
"That's not -------"
"She's also a gourmet, so she'll be a good adviser to you."
"Um------"
"If she stays with you, I don't have to go."
"Hey -" Gu Yi reacted and asked, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean by me?" Lao Tan asked with a smile.
Gu Yi was embarrassed and his old face turned red.
Lao Tan said: "If you hadn't brought up the idea of going out for a walk, I wouldn't have even thought about it. When we were drinking, Qiao Shan even told me that Sister Wang seemed to have someone else. She dressed up more than before and always called you wherever she went.
Drive him around, like a bodyguard."
Gu Yi's face turned red, he lost his big brother demeanor and looked like a young man who just fell in love. He stammered: "Sister Wang------Sister Wang is a very good person, these------these
------She said these years ------she has been waiting for me ------"
