Chapter 199 Inquiring about the mysterious boss
Qian Lai also asked Yinbao to follow the accountant and learn how to collect debts. After Yinbao took the order and left, he took Chen Shundong and his party directly to the box on the left side at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
This private room is the second largest of all the private rooms in Yipin Guo. The difference between this private room and the largest one is that this private room only has one large round table, but this large round table can seat ten people at the same time, which is more than enough for the six of them.
Before Qian Lai gave his opening speech, he instructed the store staff to vacate the private room. Therefore, although there was a yellow card hanging on the door of the box, there were no customers inside.
Qian Lai was the first to push the door and walk in. The others had just arrived and didn't know the meaning of the sign at the door, so they followed him into the box.
After several people sat down as host and guest, a waiter came in with a Yipintang menu. He walked straight to Qian Laiye and handed him the menu.
Qian Lai also took the menu, took a look at its contents, and decided to order a four-grid hotpot, selecting four different flavors of soup base: clear soup, mushroom, tomato, and spicy. This way, no matter if you have a light taste or like to pursue freshness, you can get the right soup base.
After making these two choices, he handed the menu to the others and asked them to order whatever they wanted.
These bosses, including Chen Shundong, saw the "menu" for the first time while dining, and they couldn't help but be curious about the contents on the menu.
Chen Shundong sat on the left of Qian Laiye. He was the first person to receive the menu. After getting the menu, he began to look at the contents carefully. He found that the menu did not display the names of the dishes, but the names and prices of various ingredients.
He read the entire menu at a glance before he found the names of a few stir-fried dishes in the lower right corner of the menu.
Although Chen Shundong was full of confusion and didn't understand what Yipin Guo meant, he didn't speak out his doubts. Instead, he took the money and handed over the hairless pen, and marked the ingredients he usually liked to eat on the menu.
Chen Shundong drew on it four or five times and then stopped, passing the menu and pen in his hand to the person sitting on his left.
The reactions of the others when they received the menu were exactly the same as Chen Shundong's. They followed the same method as copying and pasting. They all calmly took Lin Chuyi's special charcoal pencil, drew a few strokes on the menu, and then passed the menu to the next person.
The menu went around among the crowd and finally returned to Qian Laiye's hands.
Qian Lai also took a look at the dishes everyone ordered, added a few ingredients and side dishes, and then returned the menu to the waiter.
After the waiter finished taking notes, closed the door and left with the menu, Qian Lai also smiled and said to everyone, "Today is the first day that Yipin Guo officially opens for business. It is really a great honor for all the bosses to take time out of their busy schedules to come here."
"Brother Qian, you are so polite. Today is the day your new store opens. We are brothers. No matter how busy I am, I have to take time to come over and congratulate you. I also want to ask you for a drink. But I didn't expect that before I could even drink the wine, you asked me to learn something new."
"Brother Qian actually came up with the idea of lottery and cooperating with other stores to increase sales for the store. It really opened our eyes. When it comes to doing business, Brother Qian, you are the one." Chen Shundong said and gave Qian Lai a thumbs up.
Chen Shundong said this not to compliment Qian Laiye. He really admired Qian Laiye. It was also the first time he knew that there were other ways to do business and marketing besides giving discounts.
Qian Lai also smiled and waved his hand modestly, "Brother Chen, please stop praising me. These are all the boss's ideas. I am just following orders. I don't deserve such high praise from Brother Chen."
"Brother Qian, there is no need to be modest. Even if it is just an execution, the people under your command can act so well and remain calm in the face of emergencies. Your ability cannot be ignored."
Chen Shundong had the deepest contact with Qian Laiye. He knew that all the shop assistants of Yipin Guo were bought by Qian Laiye from Yahang. When they went upstairs just now, he paid more attention to those shop assistants and found that the cowardly spirit of being slaves in them had disappeared, and was replaced by a positive and lively feeling.
This change is not only reflected in their dress and mental outlook, but also in their attitude towards people and their calm response to every question.
Everyone was clear about their own tasks and completed their work scope well. It was precisely because everyone was doing their job that although there were many people downstairs, there was no chaos.
If it weren't for what happened today, Chen Shundong wouldn't have thought that his own employees were worse than those of others. But when he saw this scene today and recalled the time when the store held an event some time ago and the employees were so busy and flustered, Chen Shundong wanted to cover his face.
He really wanted to learn from Qian Lai and hear how he trained this group of people to what they are today in such a short period of time.
However, this matter can be asked in private. Now he has something more important to know. Chen Shundong suddenly changed the subject and started to inquire about Lin Chuyi's whereabouts.
"Come to think of it, today is the opening day of Yipin Guo, why didn't I see your boss show up?"
Chen Shundong has always known that there is a young master behind Qian Laiye. Qian Laiye is also the owner of Yipin Guo. So the owner of Yipin Guo must be that mysterious young master.
He had heard of this young master's fame for a long time, but had never had the chance to meet him. He thought he could see him in person today when Yipin Guo opened, but unexpectedly, the other party never showed up from beginning to end. This made Chen Shundong a little disappointed.
At this moment, he happened to hear Qian Laiye mention his boss, so he took the opportunity to ask the questions in his mind.
Chen Shundong hinted to Qian Lai more than once, both explicitly and implicitly, that he wanted to meet the young master of his family, but Qian Lai always changed the subject without saying a word.
Qian Lai was mentally prepared for the possibility that Chen Shundong would take advantage of the situation when he first said this.
He smiled at Chen Shundong and said calmly, "Our boss is not in Lanzhou right now. In fact, today is not only the opening day of Yipin Guo, but also the opening day of Qilixiang and Jiangxinfang. If the boss was here, it would be a problem to go to any of the opening ceremonies. She simply handed the matter over to the three of us shopkeepers and ran away to have some quiet time."
Qian Laiye's tone of voice was calm, but what he said made everyone present look at each other in surprise. From what Shopkeeper Qian said, it turned out that the owner of Yipin Guo, Qilixiang and Jiangxinfang were all the same person.
No wonder Shopkeeper Qian was so enthusiastic about promoting the other stores. Wait! They seemed to have missed some information.
