rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 44 Buy One Get One Free Event (3)

"Mr. Deng, I can do this myself, why bother you to make a trip!"

A minibus was driving on the winding mountain road between Nancheng and Huilong.

In 1997, there was no expressway from Nancheng to Huilong, which is why it took nearly five hours to travel between the two places.

When the expressway was opened later, the drive between the two places was shortened to one hour. When another expressway was opened later, it only took 40 minutes to go from Nancheng to Erlong.

The reason is that there are many mountains in Sichuan Province. Without expressways, it would take a long time just to cross a mountain. But on expressways, a tunnel can be passed in a minute or two.

This is the power of China-style infrastructure and the pride of China-style infrastructure!

But at this time in 1997, Deng Weimin, the dignified general manager of Snow Beer Nancheng Branch, had to sit in a bun and feel depressed!

"It's okay, this is not just a promotion! I still have something to discuss with the owner of the barbecue restaurant!"

Deng Weimin threw the cigarette butt out of the window without any image. Don't expect too much about quality these days.

"How long until Huilong arrives?"

Deng Weimin, who had been riding for more than four hours, seemed a little impatient.

"There's still another hour! After all, the car is carrying cargo, so I don't dare to drive too fast!"

The driver, Xiao Liu, also threw the cigarette butt directly out of the window and replied casually.

Under normal circumstances, it would only take about five hours to get from Nancheng to Huilong, but Xiao Liu didn't dare to drive so fast while carrying a beer in the car today.

After all, if you drive faster on the road these days, you might actually be able to jump three feet high.

If there is no cargo, as an experienced driver who often travels on this road, Xiao Liu can naturally drive at high speed, but today, not only is there cargo in the car, but there are also leaders in the car, so naturally he has to be safe!

"Well! I'll take a nap first! Call me when you get there!"

Deng Weimin closed his eyes, but he didn't really fall asleep.

At this moment, what kept appearing in Deng Weimin's mind was what was mentioned on the phone call that morning.

Don't think too much about it. It's not the barbecue restaurant activity that was mentioned at the beginning on the phone.

Although there are few restaurants in small places like Huilong County that offer buy-one-get-one-free activities, such activities are actually not uncommon in the catering industry in big cities.

Usually when a store is newly opened, in order to attract customers, some activities like this will be held, and the effect is indeed good.

But such an event is not attractive enough for Deng Weimin, the general manager of Snow Beer Nancheng Branch.

After all, how much beer can a barbecue restaurant consume if it only holds activities for a month?

For him, the boss of a branch company, it’s just a drop in the bucket!

And the most important thing is that this barbecue restaurant is not prepared to pay for it, so it is asking for free beer!

At that time, Deng Weimin was first confused, then angry, and then confused again.

Because before he was about to hang up the phone, the other party used his reverse understanding of the business model to make Deng Weimin stop hanging up.

At this moment, all Deng Weimin was thinking about was the "reverse channel" marketing model that the owner of the barbecue restaurant told him at that time.

In fact, Deng Weimin already had some vague understanding of this marketing model, and even he himself was indeed a little moved by what the other party said.

Therefore, for the sake of safety and to have a clearer understanding of the "reverse channel" marketing model mentioned by the other party, Deng Weimin decided to go to Huilong County himself!

"Hey, I hope this guy isn't just making random nonsense!"

At this moment, Deng Weimin seemed to be in a hurry to seek medical treatment. After all, a barbecue restaurant owner was talking about commercial marketing to him, which was nonsense in itself.

What's even more ridiculous is that Deng Weimin actually believed it!

Therefore, Deng Weimin could only hope that the owner of the barbecue restaurant was really capable, otherwise his trip to Huilong County would be in vain.

Huilong County, Tuanjie Hotel.

"Riko, why don't you consider the idea I mentioned?"

"I think your cooking is really good. If our price can be lower, more people will come to eat!"

Okay! Please forgive Li Yuan, a high school student, who only knows how to use price reduction to attract customer traffic!

After all, for Li Yuan, being able to offer opinions is already considered an improvement!

This is mainly because he is also half the owner of the barbecue stall, otherwise he would definitely not have said this!

"Okay. It's impossible to lower the price, not even in this life!"

Chen Li replied casually while cleaning the potatoes in his hands!

"But yesterday we sold it for more than 30 yuan, and we didn't even make back the cost!"

Li Yuan's mood was obviously a little depressed. He sold more than 50 yuan on the first day, which was not a loss at all, but he really lost money yesterday.

The 30 yuan or so that I sold yesterday was not even as much as the skewers that I ate, which is outrageous!

If this continues, once the money and ingredients are used up, he and Chen Li's business trip will be declared a failure.

Putting down the razor in his hand, Chen Li sighed lightly. He understood Li Yuan's anxiety at the moment.

After all, for Li Yuan, if the business fails, it is not only a matter of losing money, but also a matter of losing face.

Yesterday, this guy was still calling his classmates at a public phone booth outside, bragging that he and Chen Li had sold more than 50 yuan on the first day, saying that the business would get better and better in the future, and how much money they could make, and so on.

Chen Li did not stop this guy at that time. After all, in Chen Li's view, Li Yuanna was not bragging, but being humble!

After all, according to Chen Li's idea, he planned to make a lot of money this time. Li Yuan was bragging to those classmates!

Chen Li believes that as long as his plan succeeds, the profits he will earn in the end will definitely exceed Li Yuan's imagination!

But Chen Li was so sure that Li Yuan was conceited because last night's income did not rise but fell, from more than 50 the day before yesterday to more than 30.

For Li Yuan, this was a complete blow to the head! This guy was almost stunned.

So now, Li Yuan really feels guilty. He doesn't care about the four hundred yuan, after all, it is just his living expenses for a month.

Not to mention that Chen Li had said before that he would take care of his life this summer. Even if Chen Li didn't care, Li Yuan would have to call his father to ask for it again.

At most, it's just a scolding. Anyway, his parents are not at home, so they can't beat him.

Besides, he is the only son in Lao Li's family, so what's wrong with spending some money on Lao Li?

"Riko, why don't you just listen to me, I..."

"Okay! Meatballs!"

Seeing what Li Yuan wanted to say, Chen Li thought for a while and decided to give this guy a reassurance before speaking. Otherwise, given this guy's temperament, he would probably continue to nag him.

"In this way, within three days, if we can't sell for less than three hundred yuan a day, I will listen to you!"

"Three hundred? Are you making trouble with me?"

"Riko, are you making trouble with me? Why do you think you can sell it for three hundred?"

"Tell me, do you have any ideas?"

"I know you have many ideas since you were a child. My father has taught me since I was a child and asked me to learn more from you."

"Tell me about it. I can learn from you!"

As someone who had grown up together, Li Yuan knew that Chen Li probably had something in mind as soon as he heard what Chen Li said.

"I have some ideas, but you should peel off these potatoes first."

"Go out with me later and I'll tell you then!"

Chen Li gave up, and Li Yuan also accepted his trick, because he knew very well that Chen Li said he would talk about it later, so he would definitely not tell him now.

"Okay~! Why don't you just peel off a potato? What a big deal!"

"Look at me!"
