Chapter 601: Only when you are humorous will people listen
As for the lunch, I won’t describe it. Mr. Chen brought several relatives and friends, as well as Lao Xiao, Qing Ruo and Ning Jing, to welcome me.
Actually, I was performing a magic trick for his relatives and friends. I didn't have any medicine powder with me, so I just performed a trick of listening to words with my ears.
People are constantly growing. Apart from things related to the company, to calm others down, or to improve relationships, I only drink a little and listen to a word.
I really had never performed in other places. But he still treated me like an entertainer, calling me out when needed and asking me to perform magic tricks in front of relatives at any time.
On the other hand, Mr. Deng Fugen never asked me to perform these things.
After lunch, I took a break, woke up at 2 p.m., washed up, and picked up my phone to see there was a missed call. As soon as I saw it was Chunlai, I knew he must be reminding me to check WeChat.
I opened WeChat and saw Chunlai asking:
"I have taken the first batch of food supplements and it is time to switch to the second batch. Teacher, please send the second batch over."
I sat down, wrote down five prescriptions, took a photo and sent it over.
After sending it, I suddenly had an idea, slapped my thigh, and called Shiyu, saying I would be there in half an hour.
The master and disciple met and were very affectionate. Shiyu reported to me the work of the entire Taiyi Scenic Area, summarizing it in two sentences:
First, the scenic spot's performance is relatively stable because of the Taiyi Temple, which has a large number of believers. Especially after the introduction of single prescriptions for treating diseases, many people come to seek medical treatment.
Second, there's public support. The scenic area's management is relatively young, proactive, and united. As for Taiyi Temple, everyone respects him because he understands the business.
I nodded and said, "For any religious attraction, attracting tourists is not a problem. The main thing is to focus on the business development of Taiyi Temple.
People come to Taiyi Temple to see the unique mountain and to exercise. In the end, they always go to Taiyi Temple to take a look.
So, I'm not worried about using Taiyi Temple to boost tourism. Today, I want to talk to you about the food and beverage options at the Visitor Center."
“Someone complained that our catering was not good?”
"I don't know how other people feel. I just feel bad."
Shiyu blushed a little and said quickly, "We recently developed a new dish. You can try it tonight. We are also trying to be different from other restaurants and try to come up with our own characteristics."
I shook my head. "Shiyu, you don't understand what I mean. No matter how hard you try, it's all in vain. Shangzhou is a food capital. Every street and alley is delicious, even if you go the wrong way."
Shiyu looked at me blankly.
I said, "Your catering at the Visitor Service Center needs to change direction immediately."
"Vegetarian?"
I laughed out loud: "What does being a vegetarian have to do with Taoism? That's Buddhism. Taoism is about health preservation, you need to find ways to develop food supplements.
There's a saying that goes, "Food is better than medicine." Treating illnesses when you're sick and strengthening the body when you're healthy is in line with the principles of Taiyi.
Shiyu let out a long breath and said, "Master is really thoughtful."
I took a sip and said, "People are getting richer, and they care about their health. They need nutritional supplements. If you cook the same food as other places, people won't need to come to your place to eat."
So, your visitor center only serves a portion of tourists, locals from upstate, who leave after visiting and go to eat at smaller restaurants that offer better food than you.
If the villa is a place for nourishing food, people who come to visit the scenic spot will eat here, and people who don’t visit the scenic spot will also come here to eat.”
Shiyu immediately understood and took over the conversation: "Master, my understanding is that this food therapy restaurant is not doing much business on the street. But if it is opened in Taiyi Temple, there will be business."
"That's right. Taoism emphasizes health preservation, and people believe that the food supplements recommended by Taiyi Temple are genuine food supplements. You can visit scenic spots two or three times at most, but you have to eat every day.
If locals come once a week, your villa's catering business will surpass that of the restaurant on the fifth floor of the Rising Sun Hotel."
Shiyu was a wise man and understood everything immediately. He said:
"Master, wait a moment. I'll call the head chef, the assistant chef, the office manager, the tour guide director, the planning director, and everyone else involved. Let's just go to the small conference room. You can give us a lecture."
I thought about it and said, "Okay."
About five minutes later, Shiyu came in to greet me, saying, "Everyone is here."
When I went in, I saw about ten people sitting around an oval conference table.
Shiyu led me to sit in the middle, facing a dozen people.
A familiar-looking tour guide brought me a cup of tea and then served tea to everyone else.
Shiyu said, "General Manager Wan went abroad and returned less than ten days ago, seven of which were spent in quarantine. After touring the group, he came to the management office, which shows how much he cares about us."
Everyone applauded.
"Now, please tell us a new idea, Mr. Wan.
Let’s applaud again.
I took a sip of tea, cleared my throat, and said:
"Hello everyone, you all know me, I may not know all of you, but we are all grasshoppers tied to the same rope. (Laughter)
The Taiyi Mountain Scenic Area Management Office is not doing well. No one comes. First of all, I, Wanshanhong, am not good enough. Then there is Shiyu, and Taoist Master Chen. Finally, none of the leaders here are good enough (laughs).
Of course, it's still okay at the moment, which proves that we are still young and not at the point of failure. (A few girls buried their heads in their arms and laughed secretly).
The topic I want to talk about today is expanding the catering business at the visitor center. "Expanding it doesn't mean expanding the venue, adding chefs, or working hard on sales."
I knocked on the table. "But turn."
Everyone was shocked and looked over.
