Chapter 741 743. Price War
Tianfu Restaurant offers great discounts to customers
A wall-sized piece of red paper was spread on the shop floor, and people gathered around it, all curious about what was written on it.
There was also a waiter standing there, patiently explaining to people what was written on it. After all, many people were still illiterate.
“Is this really the case of how much you charge, how much you get?
If I donate 100 taels of silver, can I eat food that costs 200 taels of silver in the future?"
"Yes, we have a special account book in our store to record it. Customer, if you need it, you can go to the store to handle it.
If you think this recharge is too much, you can also choose to spend a few taels of silver to get a discount card. Every time you eat, you can save hundreds of copper coins. "The waiter who was sent out to explain outside was always smiling and speaking clearly.
"If you don't need that much money, then there won't be a discount?"
"How is this possible? Look here, sir. If you order four dishes, you can order one free dish. It's a gift.
Look here, these are some great dishes, it’s really good value for money.”
"It's really good no matter how you consider it," some people were tempted that they could get a good deal by eating out.
He immediately took a few of his friends with him and said, "Let's order four dishes today to see how they taste. If they are really good, we can top up the credit."
The waiter happily led the customer into the restaurant, then returned to his seat and introduced the customer to the next one.
But before he could introduce a few guests, the Tianle Restaurant diagonally opposite them also posted a red notice.
The other party even knocked on the door with a gong, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Tianle Restaurant is offering big discounts. Come and have a look." The other party glanced over here in a demonstrative manner, and shouted loudly about their new discounts.
"Top up 50 taels and get 80 taels for free, top up 10 taels and get 6 taels for free, buy one dish and get one free..."
The people who were originally watching the fun at Tianfu Restaurant now all rushed over and ran to the diagonal opposite side.
The waiter from Tianle Restaurant looked at this side with a smug look on his face, which made the waiter from Tianfu Restaurant very angry.
The customers who had already entered the store to top up their accounts could no longer sit still. They said to Minghai, "Boss, the store across the street is much more affordable than yours. Why don't you give us as much as you do? Otherwise, return the money to us and we'll go across the street."
"How come..." The waiter next to him was about to speak, but was stopped by Minghai, "Everyone, I'm really sorry, because we haven't received any new preferential notice from the boss. If you feel that you have lost money, how about returning the money to you?"
Although these customers felt that it was a bit unfair, they still didn't want to be stingy with their own wallets, so they returned the money on the spot and ran across the street.
"Boss, let's just leave it to them."
Minghai smiled and shook his head, then said to the guy beside him, "Tear down the red board at the door and put a new one up."
"We continue to lower the price? Then will this restaurant still be able to make money?"
Ming Hai, "First lower the conditions to the same level as the other side."
"Why don't we go find the boss? Boss, if you make the decision, what should we do if the boss blames us?" The waiter on the side was a little anxious. He was hired by Boss Minghai, so naturally he didn't want his boss to replace him.
Ming Hai said with a double meaning, "Just look down with peace of mind."
The waiter here just posted the red list again, and not long after, the one on the other side changed again.
This time, just charge ten and get twenty, buy one and get two free.
Minghai looked at the customers coming in like clouds across the street, touched his chin, and smiled particularly happily.
The waiter standing by couldn't understand why he was so happy when the restaurant had no business at all and even the old customers had run across the street in front of the shopkeeper.
Minghai didn't explain to him. Instead, he asked the kitchen to prepare a few tables of meals and send them to his house, and also rewarded the servants who had worked hard these days.
Throughout the whole day, there were only a few tables of customers, but they were the ones who had the best food. Everyone in the store was nervous, thinking that Manager Minghai was being stimulated to an abnormal level.
Shopkeeper Huang opposite was looking at the guests at the tables with his heart bleeding.
He quickly found his boss and said, "Boss, we can't go on like this. There are too many people recharging, which means we will lose more money."
Wu Kun looked at the red list that had not been taken down yet and said through gritted teeth, "I can afford this loss.
Go to the kitchen and check. If there is not enough food, ask someone to buy more. Today is only the first day of the competition. Don't let the other side laugh at you."
At first, I was impulsive and wanted to snatch all the other party's customers. Now I have come to my senses, but it is too late to regret.
If he were to tear down the red list first, wouldn't that be admitting defeat to the other party?
Seeing that his boss was still insisting, Shopkeeper Huang had no choice but to grit his teeth and carry on.
Now, every time someone comes in, he feels heartbroken. Not only do these people come to eat, but they also have to pay some money. If this continues, this restaurant will be working in vain for these people, and he may even have to pay out of his pocket.
At Tianfu Restaurant, Minghai raised his glass, facing the only two tables in the empty lobby. The guests were the restaurant's chef and waiter.
“Since the opening, we have rarely had a day off, so today we take this opportunity to have a small gathering.
Normally we serve others food and drinks, today we will be the masters and have a good meal, the restaurant will have to rely on everyone's support in the future."
Everyone present hesitated and did not raise their glasses.
They were all worried, if this restaurant had no business, what would they have in the future?
Some of them followed their master here from Shangjing. They know that their master is confident, but they can't keep so many people for nothing.
"Boss Minghai, this is not a solution. We can't just sit there and eat and drink for free every day. How about we go out on the street to attract customers and lower the price a bit? Even if we work for nothing, at least we have peace of mind..."
Minghai stretched out his hand to suppress the other person's words, "Don't worry, this situation won't last long. Everyone should eat and drink, and get enough rest to prepare for the next busy period."
Jin Qianqian looked at the banquet that was brought over and asked several maids to sit down together.
"Everyone has come here from afar, and today I am offering you a banquet to welcome you.
I was very busy these days and couldn't spare time for you. Please forgive me, madams."
Wei Jinhua, "Madam, you are too kind. We sisters are lucky enough to be by your side and be valued by you. It is our blessing."
Jin Qianqian invited everyone to drink and eat. Knowing that they would not feel comfortable with Jin Bencan here, she found an excuse and took everyone to the backyard to dine with Gu Bencan.
Time flies, the stars move, 2022 is about to pass, and a year full of hope and challenges is quietly approaching. Through this small corner, I wish everyone happiness, joy, good luck and good fortune in the new year!
