this man is not calm

Chapter 160 Basic Disk and Diversity

I am about to go on vacation and travel, and the work I had planned has also been postponed.

As it happens, the more important and urgent matters are almost completed, and the rest is to wait for news, then make decisions and advance.

The last thing I do before work is to go to the newspaper editorial department to check the progress of the composition contest and foreign language poetry recitation contest that have been promoted for a while.

After listening to Editor-in-Chief Wang talk about the current problems and urgent problems to be solved, Jin Shang felt a little relieved.

After allowing subordinates to use their own names to advertise, many teachers and parents who came here recommended their children to participate. The worst scenario did not happen. Biggest Waterloo.

In addition to the school that leased the public land of Lao Jin's family, there are also children from nearby who come here to compete.

After the first round of auditions, there were really no bright spots. There were more than 260 children, and there were more than [-] people left.

The ones placed in Jin Shang's hands are divided into three age groups, the high age group, the middle age group and the low age group, each group has a cross.

For example, in the second grade of junior high school, you can participate in the middle-age group and the high-age group, but you cannot participate in the low-age group; children in the fifth grade of elementary school can participate in the low-age group and middle-age group, but cannot participate in the high-age group.

This arrangement is also to encourage particularly outstanding children to participate in the competition, and also to prevent older children from reducing dimensionality in order to show off.

Jin Shang flipped through each group and read a small part.

The level is uneven, and some of them don't look like children's writing. There are extremely traces of "coaching" by parents or teachers. It is a bit obvious that they are children's works, and there are typos in them.

After knowing the general situation, Jin Shang also roughly understood how to operate.

"The really outstanding ones should be praised generously, and those who are unsuccessful should not let them go away empty-handed. The levels of awards must be separated, which ones are full of gold, and which ones are consolation prizes. Let me introduce, the award-winning article is published with comments, let everyone take a look."

Although "Jingxi Metropolis Daily" is just a local tabloid, it still has some attention after all. Local residents like this kind of paper media that goes deep into the market, cares about the real things of the people, and is close to life.

After discussing the details one by one, Jin Shang felt relieved.

Zhao Rongzhen is a senior media person. Although she rarely had the opportunity to act alone in the past, since she was recruited by Jinxi Culture, the change of role took some time to adapt to. Fortunately, she and her team completed the task well.

"By the way, Mr. Jin, there is something..."

Before leaving get off work, Editor-in-Chief Zhao asked hesitantly,

"In addition to the regular serial novel supplements, I want to start a local life supplement in the newspaper, such as food exploration, tourist attractions, cultural life, etc. I want to share resources with online businesses..."

"Okay, find a time to discuss with Director Li, the specific division of labor and manpower arrangement, after the calculation is clear, if there is a need for additional staff, send a document to Director Wei to apply."

"Then...can we advertise? The company's review of advertisements and food is extremely strict..."

"It's different! We are very stuck on specific categories of food and medicine, because the company's ability to take risks is poor, and it is difficult to get out of the event of an accident. The reason why we did not accept advertisements for food tours was because there was no Efforts to review their qualifications. Well-known old stores, big brands, and high safety margins can be done. Even if there is a health and safety accident, it is the responsibility of the store and the supervisor, and we only collect money for advertising. Yes Now, for the specific terms of cooperation, ask the legal consultant—Qi Zhaoyun, be prepared..."

Laws and regulations are not only shields to protect oneself, but also reasonable weapons. They were unconditionally used in the past, but now that there are truly experienced experts, it is natural to be armed.

If those who are in the Internet and media fields appear to be too weak, the wolves, tigers and leopards around will sooner or later pounce on them, bite them and eat them.

As night fell, when a group of people arrived at the hot pot city Yuanqi Building that Lao Jin's family had been running for many years, everyone was taken aback by the lively scene inside.

"Why, Hot Pot City still accepts wedding banquets?"

Li Xuan poked Jin Shang's arm, covered her mouth and laughed,
"The business scope is really wide."

The one in front of me is the first store opened by Jinshi. It is regarded as the signature of Yuanqi Building. It has the largest scale and the best business.

For a long time, the business of Yuanqi Building was not good, and its reputation was mediocre. The hot pot, which is mainly based on Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei cuisines, did not suit the local taste very well, and it was inevitable that it would be difficult to open up the situation. The big chef packed and dug over, tried to adjust the taste several times, and gradually gained a firm foothold.

After a long period of operation, Yuanqi Building already has five stores of different sizes. Except for one that is being renovated and upgraded, the others are operating normally.

The overall positioning, among a large number of local restaurants, is considered to be above average.

It's not cheap, but ordinary people can spend one or two on festivals and happy events.

Since discount coupons and coupons became popular on the Internet, the business of Yuanqi Building has obviously improved a lot. However, Jin Shang rarely heard of wedding booking business.

Even Jin Shi, the boss, was a little baffled. He made a phone call, and a few minutes later, a fat man dressed as a manager trotted over. After wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, he explained for a few minutes.

Later, Jin Shi beckoned and asked Jin Shang to go over and listen.

"what happened?"

Some embarrassing fat manager replied embarrassingly:
"We were also a little caught off guard. This was set half a month ago. Moreover, customers have used a lot of coupons. The headquarters has also emphasized that customers who hold coupons must not be rejected, so..."

In other cases, it is okay to say, if you can accommodate and adjust it, it is not easy to ask someone to change the time on a big day when the house is full of relatives and friends.

"Is it a charter?"

Jin Shang pondered for a while, the coupons issued by the company are already enough for people to buy in bulk, and are you planning to book a festival?
"Yes! When I took this order, I didn't expect the boss to come."

"It's none of your business. Is the person in charge over there? Call me over to discuss it."

Jin Shi is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt, so he won't be angry about this kind of thing.

Several people looked curiously at the upper and lower floors. There were a total of fifty or sixty tables full of hot pots around the stove, and a small stage was cleared out in the middle. It looked like a Chinese wedding, mixed with many scenes of unknown customs.

The groom is about 30 years old, with a simple and honest face, and a capable temperament on his body. The bride is about 25 or [-] years old, with concealed makeup, so it is not very specific.

The surrounding guests were also very lively, and some people brought naughty children with them. Looking at their clothes and listening to their accent, they didn't look like natives of the capital.

A few minutes later, an old man in his 50s, with graying hair and fairly healthy spirit, came over.

"You... are the bosses?"

Jin Shi stretched out his hand, shook hands with the other party, and replied very politely:

"I am! Thank you for coming to our store, it's a great honor! I shouldn't disturb you at this time, but it's just a coincidence that the time to prepare for the family dinner happened to crash."

"Family dinner?"

"Yes! It's a temporary decision, that's why it's like this! I asked the manager, the big box in the inner room is not used, can it be given to us..."

"This……"

The other party was a little hesitant. If it was an ordinary diner, it would definitely not be accepted, and it seemed that it would be difficult to forcefully refuse the boss's family banquet.

In fact, the behavior of using a lot of tickets to "sweep wool" is to take advantage. With so many relatives from their hometown, it is not easy to settle down, and it is even more difficult to find a cheap and affordable place to have fun.

"It won't be in vain. It's just a coincidence. We didn't prepare any presents, so...it's our wish to add a plate of mutton to each table."

"Okay! It's also fate to meet once. If someone comes to join us, it will be more lively."

Now that the negotiation has been completed, it is naturally the best, so as to avoid the trouble of changing places.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jin Shang took out a few signed albums from his bag and handed them over.

"Young people like stuff, please be sure to accept it."

"This is?"

"It will be handed over to your son or daughter-in-law later, they should know."

"Then... I'll take it."

After exchanging a few words of greeting and blessings, they bypassed the bustling crowd and came to the relatively deserted inner box, closed the door, and the noise became quieter.

"Business is good. I'm afraid I'll get a lot of money for the night's booking."

After watching a lively Zhang Wei, he asked Jin Shang very excitedly,
"Is business so good every day?"

"In the past, the price was relatively high. Even in the capital, not so many people often eat it. Now, after the actual price is lowered with discounts, it is better than before. But, also It's not as lively as it is every day..."

Generally speaking, it must be more profitable than before. The profit of Yuanqi Building has risen slightly and is relatively stable. The sales and popularity of the offline life sector have increased, which makes Jin Shang value it even more.

"brand?"

"Yes! Selling products, selling brands, selling concepts, and fighting for technical content, recognition and publicity and promotion. Yuanqi Building has a history of more than 20 years. Counting its predecessor, it has been nearly half a century, but..."

Jin Shang smiled and shook his head.

Compared with a large number of century-old brands in Beijing, or even two or 300-year-old antique brands, they are not enough at all.

This is also one of the biggest differences after the bifurcation of past life and present life history.

There are more than 400 years of kitchen knife and kitchen utensil workshops, more than 600 years of traditional medicine shops, and more than 800 years of tofu shops. I pass by every morning and buy two portions of bone soup. The chaotic food stall may be a century-old shop, and its history is enough to make a documentary or Made it into a TV show.

It is not easy to gain a firm foothold in Beijing's gourmet circle, which is full of strong players.

The private room is very large, and all kinds of home appliances are available. After the air conditioner is turned on, the heat gradually dissipates. The children are eager to turn on the TV and watch the prime-time children's programs.

Today's cable TV is becoming popular, and several major cities are basically connected. In places farther away, you can only watch wireless stations with antennas, and the channels are limited.

It takes several minutes to change dozens of channels.

Mei Xinghong and Jin Lanyun pulled Zhang Wei and Li Xuan to talk, Zhang Yunluan listened to her sister chatting with the elders, and watched TV programs from time to time, while Zhang Yunjiu was attracted by the funny programs.

Before the food was served, Jin Shang and Jin Shi chatted with Zhang Yunying.

This slightly dull young man, after opening up the chatter box, is quite able to talk. Although his appearance is a little dull, he still has a lot of thoughts.

When it comes to family business, Zhang Yunying is also full of hesitation.

"I don't care about the hard work. I'm afraid that there will be no future and the work will be in vain."

"The general trend is very good! We can't predict the decision-making at the national level, but the basic context is still clear. Population increase is the general trend. With economic development, the demand side will become stronger, and consumption upgrades are inevitable..."

In a large country with a vast territory and a large population, uneven development is inevitable.The east is strong and the west is weak, and the south is prosperous and the north is declining. It is difficult to change the overall situation, but there are still some differences in some parts.

The conditions for the implementation of mechanized large farms in the northern Great Plains are far stronger than those in the south. Energy, electricity, chemical and mineral resources, etc., clearly have the upper hand.

With the deepening of global warming and the easing of the cold weather in the north, the advantages of farming and pastures will further increase. This is undoubtedly the pinnacle of domestic economic development.

Eat and dress warmly before thinking about the next step.

Zhang Yunying sipped his tea slowly and said:
"Looking at the overall situation, our family also has some. However, seeing the collapse of peers around us and changing careers, I don't know what to do! Not to mention those who grow soybeans and sugar beets, those who transform to grow potatoes and rapeseed have made money. Recently, genetically modified corn The acreage is expanding and the market is doing well. Even growing sorghum and producing industrial ethanol are easier than growing rice and wheat. My father also thought about not sticking to the tradition anymore. My mother disagreed, so I just went to The deep processing has put in a lot of effort to expand the scope of business, and there is no major business shift..."

Jin Shi also knew something about this problem, but he didn't know how to say it.

For such a large farm and ranch, a slight adjustment of the structure may have a huge impact on the operation. Although they are relatives, some things are not easy to discuss in depth.

Jin Shang was young, so he could have a few more words with Zhang Yunying. After pondering for a while, he solemnly responded:
"Let's not mention these for the time being, I'll just give a few examples. Cousin Yunying, let's listen to it for now. Let's not mention the great Irish famine in the distant past, where millions of people starved to death. You should have heard of the events that have devastated the world to the point of extinction. It is not that there are no so-called experts in China who suggest improving the national diet and promoting corn and potatoes with higher yields as staple foods. However, it has never been done, why?"

"Food security?"

Jin Shang nodded.

"The diversity of staple foods avoids the unexpected risk of extinction to a certain extent. Can you imagine that in a country as big as ours, all potatoes are grown, and there is a sudden outbreak of late blight, what will happen?"

That... I dare not think about it.
