I am a super cop

Chapter 1600 The Disappearing Shadow

In the secret courtyard.

After the Internet celebrity boss vented his anger, he picked up the only goblet and took a few sips on his own.

Drinking a glass of self-brewed wine in this elegant yard should be the last dignity of your own unique style.

In the empty yard, a little orange cat came in and "meowed" to several people, as if it was quite disappointed with tonight's situation.

Lu Weiwei glanced at the orange cat on the ground, and asked curiously, "Is this little orange cat raised by you?"

"No." The net red boss also noticed the orange cat, and quickly explained: "This should be an orange cat raised by a nearby villager. Usually, when it's meal time, he will come to me to eat."

"I'm also happy to leave it with the leftovers left by the diners, especially the fish head soup, which is its favorite, but tonight... I think it will disappoint it."

"Meow, come here." Lu Weiwei waved at the kitten.

The little orange cat was wary of this beautiful stranger, and then glanced at the Internet celebrity boss. Seeing the boss sitting with everyone, the little orange cat immediately relaxed its vigilance and walked slowly to Lu Weiwei's feet.

With the index finger of her right hand, Lu Weiwei tapped the little orange cat's head a few times. Seeing that it didn't resist, she began to hold the cat in her arms and stroked it happily.

And casually reminded the boss: "Look, if you are closed, the kittens will be hungry. In my opinion, you should not care about those gossips."

"As a senior diner, let me tell you my opinion."

Seeing Lu Weiwei's research on food, the Internet celebrity boss raised his brows and politely reached out his hand and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

Lu Weiwei picked up the orange cat and walked back and forth in the courtyard, observing and talking about her feelings:

"If it is a new store opening, the most difficult thing is the quality control of the dishes, which is also a common problem in many new stores."

"The new store is no different from the old one. There is no fixed chef, and there is no standard menu. You are developing dishes purely according to your own ideas, trying to make different food tastes from others, and maintaining your own unique characteristics of dishes."

"That's right." Seeing that Lu Weiwei said that she felt in her heart, the Internet celebrity boss nodded again and again:

"The dishes on the market today are basically printed from the same mold, which is too traditional and too uncreative."

"And as a gourmet expert who once appeared on TV variety shows in Jiangsu Province, I also exchanged my creative ideas with star judges. For me, I have very strict requirements on myself."

"I have my own strict regulations on the control of the heat and the number of times the fish soup is boiled."

"And as a boss, even if I hire a chef, I will share these production methods and processes with them without hesitation."

"As long as there is one of these chefs who can listen to me and cook according to my standards, there will be no overturning."

Sighing a few times, the Internet celebrity boss also said in a bad mood: "So that once a customer criticizes the taste of the dish, I will explain to them that our chef did not follow my requirements and give the customer a free order."

"Over time, in the past 10 days or so, I fired 5 chefs, and even the entire secret courtyard didn't make any money."

"You set the price so low, the per capita consumption is 35 yuan, the ingredients are all the best, and you only earn 5 to 8 yuan per dish, how much profit can you make a day?"

In fact, Police Officer Wang didn't understand after listening to the previous explanation of the Internet celebrity boss. Is this guy playing tickets or doing serious business?
In business, everyone is after profit, but this guy is good. If the customer is not satisfied, he will refund all the meal costs in full, and even fire the chef immediately.

Even if we strive for excellence like this, we will still be suppressed by our peers.

It can be seen that this Internet celebrity boss still has some pursuits of his own.

The Internet celebrity boss also gave a wry smile when he heard Police Officer Wang's remarks, and shook his head and said, "I didn't even think about opening a restaurant when I decorated this yard, but I just wanted to create a place for self-cultivation."

"But suddenly I couldn't help but want to open a restaurant. You should know that I used to be near Suzhou TV Station, but I opened a restaurant before."

"At that time, the business also ran out of steam, but the scale was too large, and it was too easy to trust others. It was also because of the chef that it was difficult for the dishes to meet my requirements."

"Diners feel that the taste is mediocre and the consumption is still high, so the business is gradually dying."

Taking a deep breath, the Internet celebrity boss also laughed at himself wryly: "At that time, I only had 5000 yuan left in my whole body. The high investment made me overwhelmed, and this was only one of my 31 start-ups."

"So you want to play something different this time?" Gu Chen said.

The Internet celebrity boss nodded silently: "Yes, because of the experience of opening a restaurant last time, let me know that if you are too pursuing a wide variety of dishes, then once the business is busy, your kitchen team is not the kind who can control the situation." Under the circumstances, the business is not doing well.”

"So this time, I, Zhang Dapao, want to play something different. I will open for business and only cook three dishes. I want to take the initiative with the diners."

"In this way, various a la carte requests from diners can be avoided, and diners can also be screened."

"Guests who are willing to accept my three courses, they can stay for dinner."

"Besides, I don't accept children, so I can avoid the noisy situation in general restaurants and reduce the impact of noise on the surrounding residents."

"In addition, each table can accommodate up to 4 guests. I have 6 tables here, and the maximum number of customers will not exceed 24, which can effectively control the scale of diners."

Taking a deep breath, the Internet celebrity boss said again: "Also, in this restaurant, diners need to serve their own meals, which can reduce the burden on the employees in the store. If you are willing to accept these rules, you are a qualified customer of our restaurant."

"Haha." Yuan Shasha couldn't help laughing dryly after listening to all kinds of whimsical ideas of the Internet celebrity boss: "You are quite intelligent, and your ideas are indeed unique. In the current catering industry that pursues industrial processes , your ideas are indeed unique.”

"In this way, you can save a lot of processes, and you don't even need to take care of the customer's taste, and you only cook three dishes, so you can also save a lot of time in preparing dishes."

Thumbs up, Yuan Shasha couldn't help admiring: "I have to say, you are very business-minded."

"Haha, what kind of business acumen? It's all based on repeated failures." Facing Yuan Shasha's praise, the Internet celebrity boss still seemed very calm, and continued to explain to everyone:

"As far as the current situation is concerned, I opened this restaurant on a whim. At present, I can only use two words: interesting."

"I hope my Hidden Yard is the most interesting restaurant in Jiangnan City. Although the current business is not profitable, what should I say? Let's accumulate word of mouth first. Word of mouth is actually more important than my restaurant."

"When all the staff are fixed and the process is coordinated, I think we can still make a little money, right?"

"No way?" Listening to the self-analysis of the Internet celebrity boss, Lu Weiwei exclaimed in disbelief: "I have been working with you for so long, and I still haven't figured out how to make a profit?"

"Then you have been feeling lonely for the past ten days?"

"Uh...it seems to be." The Internet celebrity boss was powerless to refute, but just shrugged, indicating that there was nothing wrong with it.

Officer Wang slapped his forehead, and complained, "You are the weirdest restaurant owner I have ever seen. They just want to survive, but you are just for fun, and you are after that kind of poetry and distance. "

"Snapped!"

Hearing what Police Officer Wang said, the Internet celebrity boss also slapped his thigh: "You're right, what I'm after is that kind of poetry and distant places. As for how to make money, I really haven't figured out a way."

"Anyway, let's do it first and then talk about it, and put the profit later."

"But it won't work like this." After all, Gu Chen's family is also in business. Hearing that the Internet celebrity boss does business like this, he directly pointed out his problem:
"Maybe your idea of ​​opening a restaurant like this is correct. Each table only serves three dishes. This is also true. It can indeed greatly reduce many cumbersome processes."

"But have you ever thought about it? Once these three dishes are eaten by diners, or if they eat it once, they don't want to come again. Then it will be very difficult for you to do repeat business."

"And when doing business now, repeat customers are also a major part of the source of customers. Have you ever considered this issue?"

There was a brief silence for a few seconds.

The internet celebrity boss stared blankly at Gu Chen, his expression also stiffened there.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei also reminded, "You must have never considered this issue, have you?"

"puff!"

As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, the Internet celebrity boss suffocated his laughter, and then laughed until he lay down on the table.

Lu Weiwei's expression froze, feeling that the Internet celebrity boss is losing his mind again?I was also curious and asked him: "Why are you laughing? Have you ever considered these issues?"

"Haha, of course I have considered it. I have considered your ideas before opening the store." The boss of the Internet celebrity is also a real person.

Since everyone is giving their own ideas and thinking of ways, there is no need for me to hide my thoughts. I also directly explain to everyone:
"Three dishes, let these diners eat once, the conditions are allowed, maybe some diners have come once, next time they will come a second time in order to pursue the environment and the quality of the dishes."

"And some are just herd mentality, because the network traffic is all here, so I just come here to join in the fun."

"If you want to say that they approve of this kind of consumption, that's not necessarily the case. It's just a new idea, just come to check in, and this kind of customers are the most."

"So the three dishes in your restaurant, in my opinion, can only last for about a month." After all, Police Officer Wang is also a frequent eater, and he knows that what customers are most tired of is lack of new ideas.

But the Internet celebrity boss didn't care, waved his hand and explained: "Of course the customers will be bored, even if I only cook these three dishes every day, I will also be bored."

"Then what should we do?" Gu Chen asked him.

The Internet celebrity boss grinned, snapped his fingers and said, "I think so, using my personality charm, that is, my network traffic, to share interesting daily life in the small courtyard every day, so that diners can come here with curiosity. .”

"Because the reception is limited, even if these curious diners come once a month, my side can still operate normally."

"And one month later, I will launch new dishes developed by myself. In this way, I will launch different dishes every month, satisfying everyone's curiosity, and constantly whetting everyone's appetite."

"In this way, diners can be attracted continuously. Not only that, I can also provide services similar to 'Haidilao'."

"For example, when you are dining, can I show you a little magic trick? Can I sing a song for you? Can I give you an inscription?"

Patting himself on the chest, the Internet celebrity boss also smiled and said: "Don't underestimate me, I am versatile."

"Every brick and tile in this yard, including the decoration and arrangement, and the calligraphy on the lanterns are all written by me."

"Not only that, but I am also a poet. I like to recite poems against others and discuss poetry culture."

"Also, has any of you ever seen someone drive a sports car to the vegetable market every day to buy food?"

Seeing everyone's puzzled faces, the Internet celebrity boss pointed to himself: "Me."

"So the convertible sports car at the door is yours?" Officer Wang remembered the fact that there was a convertible sports car parked around the courtyard.

The internet celebrity boss nodded silently: "Over the years, I've only earned a sports car because I like it, including opening this restaurant in a small courtyard because I like it."

"Do it if you like it, and don't regret it even if you fail. This is my style of doing things, Zhang Dapao."

"It is precisely because of my style of doing things that I have attracted the attention of many people and made me an internet celebrity with millions of fans."

"But it is precisely because of this that I have become a public enemy in the industry. My peers treat me as an outlier, and feel that I am a crap stick in the catering industry. Not only does I gain fame, but it makes them look mediocre."

"So these days, there are suddenly a lot of diners visiting the store. They seize the various deficiencies in my secret yard, and they may rub traffic and discredit me."

Taking a deep breath, the Internet celebrity boss also said helplessly: "I admit that because it is a new store opening, many quality control aspects are indeed not well grasped, but they have grasped some shortcomings and generalized what I said here. Nothing."

"Even buying traffic may magnify the problem, and hire a large number of trolls, saying that I am here to deceive people, and I don't want to come again once I come here."

"I know that there are many people who are popular. After all, this is my 31st time to start a business, but I have to survive. The per capita consumption is 35 yuan, and even the ingredients that don't make money. They say I lied to everyone, all kinds of cynicism .”

At the end of the talk, the Internet celebrity boss himself laughed, and couldn't help picking up the wine glass again, and directly drank the remaining wine in the goblet.

Seeing that the Internet celebrity boss is so aggrieved, everyone actually sympathizes.

After all, the boss shared his business methods almost without reservation. The daily videos he took every day even talked about how he did business.

It can be said that almost all the secrets of how he runs this secret yard are shared free of charge.

But even so, he was suppressed by his peers in various ways, and even started to be strangled one after another.

The first is the wave of shop exploration. It can be seen that the damage to the hidden courtyard is indeed great.

And Gu Chen also found out through chatting with this Internet celebrity boss that this is a boss with his own dignity and temper.

Especially this is a poet, how can the pride of a literati be humiliated by others at will?

Perhaps it is precisely because of this temper that the Internet celebrity boss attaches great importance to his own reputation and comments on non-professionals' traffic.

On the surface, the internet celebrity boss would laugh it off.

But as soon as the diners said that the taste was not good, the Internet celebrity boss immediately returned the money to the people and fired the chef.

Even in the video comments, the Internet celebrity boss is very concerned about the negative comments from customers. Basically, if he is dissatisfied with the secret courtyard, the Internet celebrity boss will refund the meal fee in full.

Such a management method of striving for perfection is indeed difficult for ordinary catering industry bosses to achieve.

At the same time as everyone was discussing the secret courtyard, the little orange cat also started meowing from hunger.

Lu Weiwei said with a distressed face: "This silly cat doesn't go home to eat when it's time for dinner, but comes here to grab a meal. Now there is no food here, and it doesn't know how to go home?"

"Maybe its owner knows that I can help him raise a cat, so I let this little orange cat come here to eat every meal."

Smiling, the Internet celebrity boss said again: "Maybe it's because of this mentality that I didn't prepare dinner for this little orange cat."

Stretching out his hand to touch the little orange cat's head twice, the Internet celebrity boss said helplessly: "It's a pity, I didn't make dinner here either."

"Meow!" The little orange cat seemed to understand the meaning of the Internet celebrity boss, meowed, jumped out of Lu Weiwei's arms, and walked directly to the gate of the yard.

"How did you leave?" Seeing this, Lu Weiwei felt a little helpless.

The Internet celebrity boss said indifferently: "Cats are cool by nature and have no feelings for people. Unlike dogs, they are the most loyal friends of human beings. Just go and go. When I have something to eat, it will come back." .”

"It's true." Lu Weiwei also understood the habits of cats very well, and felt that what she said was true.

But just as the little orange cat gradually disappeared into the night, Lu Weiwei suddenly found a tall and thin black figure standing there in the corner of the night.

Due to the lack of light, Lu Weiwei couldn't see the face of the person coming, but said vigilantly: "There seems to be a person standing there."

"Where is it?" Yuan Shasha looked back, but did not see the shadow Lu Weiwei mentioned.

Lu Weiwei narrowed her eyes and confirmed again that the black shadow that had appeared in the dark corner just now had disappeared.

Scratching the back of her head, Lu Weiwei also had a puzzled look on her face: "Why is it gone again? I saw someone standing there just now, as if they had been standing there for a long time, why is it gone now?"

"You're blinded by Lu Weiwei, right?" Police Officer Wang also followed Lu Weiwei's eyes and glanced casually, but he didn't see the black shadow Lu Weiwei was talking about.

Unconvinced, Lu Weiwei asked Gu Chen again: "Junior Brother Gu, did you notice just now that there was a black shadow standing there in the corner over there?"

"Just now?" Gu Chen frowned and turned his head to look.

Since Gu Chen's attention was all on communicating with the internet celebrity boss just now, he didn't pay attention to the black shadow that Lu Weiwei said.

And according to what Lu Weiwei said, the place where the black shadow appeared was behind him. After all, Gu Chen didn't have eyes on the back of his head, so naturally he didn't know whether what Lu Weiwei said was true.

"Strange." Lu Weiwei couldn't figure it out for a moment, and she also joked to herself: "Could it be that I'm blind? Maybe?"
