They gave the bicycle to Mr. Yang at the city gate for safekeeping and walked the rest of the way.
When they reached the entrance of the state-owned restaurant and were about to go in, Hu Lin turned around and looked at Yang Qing, "Talk less and watch more."
Seeing Yang Qing nod, Hu Lin stepped into the state-owned restaurant which looked quite new in decoration.
The state-owned restaurant had just finished selling breakfast and the waiter inside was taking a break. When he saw them come in and was about to greet them, Hu Lin interrupted them.
"Is your manager here? We have a business deal to discuss with him." Hu Lin asked skillfully.
Yang Qing on the side didn't say anything, put down the backpack and looked at the eel in the basket.
I don’t know if the eels were killed by the bumpy journey.
When the waiter saw this, he hesitated for a moment and ran to find the manager.
Seeing this, Hu Lin also put down the backpack.
The manager was a tall and thin man in work clothes. He glanced at the two men, and then looked at the things in their backpacks.
Then he looked at the two men straight in the eye, "Are you selling these?"
"Yes." Hu Lin nodded.
The manager frowned and waved his hand, "Let's go, we don't accept these, we only accept game."
There are only two state-owned restaurants in the county, but their business has never been as good as the other one.
Although the other restaurant has been rooted in the county for a longer time, their store is newly renovated and their chefs are first-class.
Logically speaking, customers tend to get tired of the old and love the new.
But their business was still not as good as the other one. He had already found out the specific reason. It was because they had no game, so they could not compete.
Game became a thorn in his side.
"Manager, if you want to do good business, you can't just copy others."
Hu Lin looked at the manager who was turning around to leave, said this, then picked up the rope and was about to leave.
The manager turned around and looked at Hu Lin, a little annoyed, "What do you mean?"
“Everyone knows that you, the manager, have been spreading the news of collecting wild game for a long time, but do you see anyone coming?
Don’t you think about it? How could they let you do something that would steal their business?”
This manager is not as smart as the manager of another state-owned restaurant.
As early as when he released the news that he would buy game, when Li Aihua went to sell game, the manager said that he would raise the price for Li Aihua.
But Li Aihua refused, because the lie she had made up at the beginning was a long one, which was about the idea that one should not forget one's principles for the sake of profit.
The manager's actions made the transaction between the state-owned hotel and Li Aihua more stable.
I can only say that there are pros and cons.
The lies they told back then have caused them to lose a lot of money now.
Having sold cooked food in the county town for so many years, she had learned a lot from the conversations of her customers every day.
Seeing that the business of this state-owned restaurant was really bad, he came here.
“So you think these things can improve our store’s business?
I think you are the naive one.
Besides, these are seasonal.
Also, if the food doesn’t taste good, it will damage the store’s reputation and make the store’s business even worse.
Why would I buy something that's easy to break in my hands?"
The manager made a very clear point.
Hu Lin took a deep breath. Seeing that the manager didn't seem to have any intention of asking them to go to the office for the talk, he pulled out a chair in the lobby and sat down.
Yang Qing next to him did as he was told, which stunned the manager who was standing there.
Only then did I realize that I had done something wrong.
"Manager, are you nitpicking?
You have to know that the game sold in another state-owned restaurant is also seasonal. What does it have to do with the seasonality of my things?
Besides, don’t you do food testing when you make new dishes at home?
The food is not tasty, don’t you want to change the chef?
These are meat dishes. People in this county are used to eating wild game. If they see these meat dishes that they have never eaten before, do you think your store's business will improve?"
Hu Lin leisurely explained everything to the manager.
The manager was so shocked that sweat broke out on his forehead.
Obviously, he understood it now.
So I feel scared.
He almost missed this opportunity just now.
Hu Lin saw the manager's expression and understood.
Instead, he stood up to carry the basket, “Since you can’t figure it out, let’s sell these good things to another state-owned restaurant.
It's a good opportunity to add some new features to their restaurant, so that those customers will have to come back to their restaurant."
Seeing this, Yang Qing also stood up and put the backpack on his back.
"Don't." The manager shouted quickly.
Hu Lin glanced at the manager, sneered, put on his backpack and was about to leave.
"Please stay, let's go to my office to talk." The manager jumped out and blocked the two people's way.
Hu Lin looked at the panicked manager, raised his eyebrows, and said in a generous tone, "Okay.
I’ll give you one more chance.”
"Please come in." The manager respectfully took the two to his office.
Looking around, the interior decoration of the store was similar to that of another state-owned restaurant in her memory.
The only difference is that the wall color is blue-gray, and the seating layout seems a little different.
As for whether the slogans on the wall are the same, I don’t know.
It had been so long that she couldn't remember such unimportant things clearly.
Since Hu Lin had the upper hand, the manager was now begging them to sell the things to him, so the entire transaction was under Hu Lin's control.
These loaches and eels were sold to this state-owned restaurant at the price of two yuan per catty.
And we established long-term deals with them for fear that they would sell these things to another company.
