Rebirth begins with losing the white moonlight

Chapter 305 Coffee Shop Opening

There are a total of 3 sets of sofas in the employee lounge, which are just enough to seat 7 people.

Lu Chen chose the single seat in the innermost room, and Shen Wanning and Zou Jiayu chose the double seat. As for the other people in 407, they were all crowded into the longest one, and they were chattering about something. :
"I'm not saying that, I am definitely the sales champion today."

"Put me down, can you compare with Liu Sijun in terms of connections?"

"What you said is wrong. He does know a lot of people, but can they get up so early? There are only so many seats in our coffee shop. If you don't get up early, you will definitely not be able to get them."

"How do you know the people I brought didn't get up early?"

"That's right, we just saw a few on the road."

The opening time is very critical for any store and brand.

But even in the face of this truly tough battle, several people in 407 acted calmly.

As the director of the external relations department of the University of Political Science and Law, Liu Sijun has a very strong influence both inside and outside the school, so when he posted a friend in his circle last night, he immediately attracted the attention of hundreds of people, many of whom were Make it clear that you will be there to support;

Needless to say, Lin Yusheng and Cheng Kaiwen, as administrators of the WeChat group, are actually equivalent to the operation officers of private traffic and communities. After previously organizing several Three Kingdoms killing and werewolf killing activities according to Lu Chen's instructions, they not only followed these These consumers are getting closer and closer, and their appeal within the group has reached an unprecedented level.

Picking out any one of them is enough to play a decisive role, and it is even enough to lead any store to achieve staged success in Songze University Town.

But their influence is still not worth mentioning compared to Lu Chen who is sitting at the rear.

In the simplest terms, even if they don't do any publicity at all, as long as the outside world knows that Lu Chen is fully involved in this store, they can easily create a business for it that can beat any tea drink store in Matsuzawa University Town. Forehead.

——This is the "Light of Shencheng Politics and Law", not to mention that he has just become popular on the official WeChat account of Songze District People's Politics and Law. If his previous audience was mainly students, now it obviously includes more All kinds of people.

In this case, why do they need to worry about customers?
The only thing they have to worry about is that there will be too many customers and friends who come to cheer will have no place to sit.

"Brother Shen, did you hear anything?"

If Lin Yusheng has the most outstanding sense of smell among the six people in 407, then when it comes to vision and hearing, Liu Sijun is still the most sensitive.

Lu Chen raised his head and glanced at him, then looked at the window where the sunlight was pouring in:
"Maybe someone is coming."

"Then let me go and take a look!"

Liu Sijun got up from the sofa very consciously and proactively, and patted Lin Yusheng and Cheng Kaiwen beside him.

The three young men quickly gathered around the window, and then their eyes widened in unison:

"Oh my God, Brother Shen, there are too many people here!"

Although he had been fully mentally prepared before, Cheng Kaiwen still looked a little surprised when he witnessed the scene in front of him.

The time they advertise on their official account is 10 a.m., but many customers have already begun to enter the store.

In addition, many people were walking towards the coffee shop from all directions. Among the huge crowd, they all found many familiar faces:
"Isn't this the boy who bought 100 coffee coupons from you last time? He's from the engineering college next door."

"The one in yellow is probably the junior who played Werewolf with us last time. He's here too."

"Look at that, isn't that the school girl who was responsible for interviewing Brother Shen from Xiao Shao's team last time? She brought all her roommates with her?"

"But they got up too early. Today is Saturday..."

"..."

Although they had already known that many old acquaintances would come to support him, when this wave of people gathered together, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

But this is only part of it, because there are many customers queuing downstairs to enter the store that no one among them knows.

Most of these people look like students, but there are also a few who look like nearby residents at first glance, but they all look relatively young.

This is not surprising. Generally speaking, young people prefer to join in the fun. Moreover, from the new product series developed by Lu Chen and Shen Wanning to the decoration style of the coffee shop, they can be said to be tailor-made for the younger generation.

"Brother Shen, then..."

"If I made an appointment with you in advance, then go down and say hello."

Although he didn't go to the window to take a look with his own eyes, from their conversation, Lu Chen already had a basic analysis of the scene in the coffee shop at the moment.

He has always been very aware that since he decided to start a community and held many events in succession, they have gathered a large number of veteran fans.

Since they used coffee coupons as their main promotion in the early days of their business, these fans have spent many times on coffee coupons and waffles. Because of this, now, whether it is out of trust in the 407 team or out of Their love for Qimu Coffee Shop determines that they will definitely follow it.

This was also the original intention of Lu Chen to persuade Qiu Xin to open a store in Songze University Town. He had predicted early on that this would definitely form a closed consumption loop.

"If I didn't tell you in advance and you just spontaneously brought your friends to support me, then don't disturb others yet."

Lu Chen continued to look at everyone and said.

If you have greeted them in advance, it proves that there is a social need for the 407 team. This kind of people cannot simply regard them as consumers, so they still need to pay attention to them and say what they need to say. ;

As for those who come without saying a word and bring friends to support them, they usually have no other purpose. For example, the elementary school girl from Shao Le's team, she is probably just to fulfill her promise. There is no need to make a special trip to disturb others. .

After all, a coffee shop is different from a restaurant and must maintain its own style. If it looks like they are chatting shoulder to shoulder, other consumers will have a bad impression.

"Don't worry bro!"

"Then we'll go down first."

"I just happened to go downstairs to take photos of the materials. When I get back, I will ask Kevin to make a copywriting package. The next post will be about how our coffee shop has a long queue before it even opens!"

Lin Yusheng's eyes rolled around, as if he suddenly had some inspiration:
"Brother, I thought of the title of the official account!"

"Say."

"It's called 'It's ridiculously long! All 13 store clerks agree...' Well... wow!"

……

Lin Yusheng was carried away.

The world has become quiet.

At this moment, there were only three people left in the employee lounge: Lu Chen, Shen Wanning, and himself. Zou Jiayu was so nervous that he could hear his own breathing.

"That, I..."

Faced with the helpless situation in front of her, she suddenly regretted coming with Shen Wanning.

Originally, she thought that Shen Wanning had put a lot of effort into the opening of the coffee shop, so this matter was of great significance to her. Being a good best friend for more than ten years made her not want to miss every important occasion in Shen Wanning's life. , but invisibly, she seemed to have become the light bulb between Lu Chen and Shen Wanning.

"Classmate Zou, what's wrong?"

Lu Chen looked at her with a half-smile.

At this moment, the little goldfish was sitting next to the kitten with a troubled expression, and his arms were resting on his knees as if he didn't know where to put them.

Her fingertips were slightly forceful and her brows were slightly furrowed. At first glance, one could tell that she was in a chaotic state of mind, as if she had no idea what to do next.

"No...it's fine!"

Zou Jiayu raised his head and glanced at him, then quickly looked away.

Lu Chen's eyes always seem to be able to see through people easily, and coupled with his half-smiling expression, it makes people feel a sense of crisis deep in their hearts.

She was already feeling guilty, so she didn't dare to look at him even more, for fear that Lu Chen would see through her complicated thoughts if she wasn't careful.

"Ayu, don't be afraid."

Shen Wanning gently held her hand.

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows. Before he could speak, he saw Shen Wanning turning to him again with a bluffing face:
"Lu Chen, you can't bully her!"

Ayu wasn't very courageous in the first place, but Lu Chen still insisted on scaring her like this. This bad man was so annoying!
"How did I bully her?"

Lu Chen looked helpless.

Not only did he not feel that he had bullied the little goldfish, he also felt that he was more like the light bulb before she and Shen Wanning.

Look at their two little hands folded together.

How dare she lock hands with others in front of me?

"Wanning, please stop being harsh to him..."

As a qualified CP fan, Zou Jiayu patiently coaxed her while speaking to Lu Chen who was sitting on the single sofa:

"Classmate Lu didn't hurt me either."

"Then do you think I'm cruel to you?"

There were too many people in the car just now, so Shen Wanning had been holding back from asking this question. Now with Zou Jiayu's words, she immediately asked it with personal information.

"It's not fierce. Why is it so fierce?"

Lu Chen looked at her fondly.

From his perspective, Shen Wanning actually has a good temper. At most, he only blows up his hair every now and then. But how can he be considered a kitten if he doesn't blow up his hair?

Of course his kitten can be furred, as long as it is stroked.

"Ayu, look, he said I didn't hurt him."

Shen Wanning snorted slightly and looked very satisfied with Lu Chen's answer.

Why not 10 points? Because Lu Chen's answer has not yet reached the highest standard.

In situations like this, he should obviously say: I just like it when you attack me! ! !
"Of course he won't think you are mean to him..."

The little goldfish said that he had taken it again.

She found that although she had become the light bulb between Lu Chen and Shen Wanning, she also occupied an absolute VIP seat and could chat with her almost at close range. She just felt a little sorry for Lu Chen...

But I will help you put in a good word in front of Wan Ning!

She said to Lu Chen silently in her heart.

Although Wan Ning and I are closely intertwined, we slept together last night, and sometimes we even take a shower together...

But I really hope from the bottom of my heart that you can be with her!
I hope you don't mind~
"Haha."

Lu Chen followed Shen Wanning's usual behavior and laughed twice.

Shen Wanning pursed her lips. She originally wanted to say something more, but Lu Chen's cell phone suddenly received a call.

"Okay, let me go downstairs."

The person on the other end of the phone talked nonstop for a while, but Lu Chen's answer was very simple.

Seeing him getting up from the sofa, Shen Wanning also stood up and said:

"Where are you going?"

"Zhou Chenguang and Huck are here."

Shen Wanning has known Zhou Chenguang earlier than Lu Chen. As for Huck, since Lu Chen has taken her to Beijiang Restaurant several times before, he can naturally get the right number:
"Are you here to help us celebrate our opening?"

"Yes."

Lu Chen looked helpless:
“Originally, I told them on WeChat in advance that they didn’t need to come over, but neither of them listened to me.

Liu Sijun said that Huck had just delivered a dozen flower baskets, and I would go down and take a look at them now. "Shen Wanning originally wanted to go with him, but he didn't want to leave Zou Jiayu here alone, so he said to him obediently:
"Then go ahead and get dressed!"

"I know."

Lu Chen put on his coat obediently, then walked downstairs with his long legs.

After he left, Shen Wanning came to the window, and within a few seconds, Lu Chen reappeared in her sight.

"Didn't you agree not to come today?"

"This is your big day. Can we, brothers, just say no and not come?"

Although they chatted online from time to time, Lu Chen and Zhou Chenguang hadn't actually seen each other for a long time, so Zhou Chenguang naturally didn't know that Lu Chen had quit smoking a long time ago and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to him. .

"Stop doing."

"Stop doing?"

Zhou Chenguang looked surprised:
"Don't tell me, you're doing this for the eldest lady in your family, right?"

"You are mistaken. Are we, Brother Shen, henpecked?"

"Can Brother Shen's matter be called henpecking? That's called doting on your wife!"

"It doesn't matter whether he loves her or fears her... as long as she is his wife!"

Although there was a secret love that ended in vain, Zhou Chenguang, like everyone around Lu Chen, had long admired his relationship with Shen Wanning.

Human nature is like this. If there is not a big gap between two people, the disadvantaged party will easily develop jealousy.

But if the gap between two people is so big that it has become a natural gap, then this kind of jealousy will no longer exist.

Because there are always some gaps that cannot be eliminated no matter how hard you try.

Unless you are a person who has no self-awareness at all, you will never compare yourself with the other person.

"Is this why you came to me to say these things?"

Seeing a few young guys from 407 starting to fool around with Zhou Chenguang again, Lu Chen took the initiative to bring the topic together.

If it were normal, this would actually be nothing, but when Shen Wanning was still waiting for him upstairs, he would inevitably be in Cao Ying and his heart in Han.

"What's the rush? I can't just talk to my brothers for a few more words..."

Zhou Chenguang originally wanted to lose him, but following his gaze, he first saw Shen Wanning standing by the window on the second floor:

"No wonder you are in a hurry to go back... It turns out that Jinwu is hiding the beauty. Boss Lu is too focused on sex and not on friends!"

"Wow, Brother Shen, the boss lady is really looking at you!"

After Zhou Chenguang made such a fuss, all the men's eyes were focused on Shen Wanning.

She originally just wanted to take a sneak peek at Lu Chen, but she didn't expect that he would discover her and not tell her, but now she would be completely exposed.

"Hey, why is the boss lady gone?"

"Nonsense, of course I'm shy!"

"Brother Lu and his girlfriend have such a good relationship..."

"Brother Huck must remember to give them a big red envelope during their wedding ceremony!"

"Bag it! I must wrap it!"

"..."

Lu Chen originally planned to ask Liu Sijun and the others to invite the two of them in to sit down, but Zhou Chenguang and Huck both said there were too many things going on in the store, so they just chatted outside and planned to leave.

The reason why they insisted on coming here today was to celebrate the successful opening of Qimu Coffee Shop, and to express their celebration to Lu Chen and Shen Wanning, they were also sincere:

"Come on, take it."

Zhou Chenguang and Huck each took out a bunch of things from their pockets and stuffed them into Lu Chen's hands.

Lu Chen lowered his head and saw that there were two thick stacks of vouchers for Beijiang Hotel and Barber Shop, with denominations of 20 yuan and 50 yuan respectively.

"You know my unit price is not as high as Brother Huck's, so there are relatively few available."

Zhou Chenguang first looked at Lu Chen with a smile and said.

However, both of them actually knew that the 20 yuan voucher was already very high for the profit of the barber shop, and it was definitely not as small as he said.

"I originally wanted to give you a 100 yuan voucher, but Chenguang said you would definitely not accept it, so I changed it to 50 yuan."

After Zhou Chenguang finished speaking, Huck also spoke at the side.

In fact, they all have very strong professional abilities in their respective fields, but they are also not good at marketing and promotion. Otherwise, they would not have been able to cooperate with Lu Chen when he started his business.

So they thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a better way to promote the coffee shop, so they just decided to be stupid and make a lot of vouchers in advance.

The usage of these vouchers is very simple. No matter how Lu Chen sends them out, they are willing to take them back unconditionally.

As long as it helps Good Brothers' stores gain customers, it doesn't matter if they make less money.

"I can't accept that."

Although the words and attitudes of the two people were very sincere, this did not mean that Lu Chen could accept it with peace of mind.

From the perspective of Zhou Chenguang and Huck, the original cooperation with 407 was enough to change their destiny, but from the perspective of 407, why didn't their destiny just be changed?

Without Huck's set meal and Zhou Chenguang's vouchers, their official account would not have been able to attract fans in the university town and surrounding areas in a short period of time. And without these fans, it would have been difficult for Tan Rui to recognize them. value.

All of this is interconnected, and it is only because of the joint efforts of both parties that we can usher in the harvest at this moment.

"No, you must accept this."

"Yeah, we printed them all out!"

They had long expected that Lu Chen would refuse, so they had already thought of a way to respond.

However, Boss Lu's ability has always been to make a big difference.

"You are putting me on the fire to roast."

He said calmly.

Sure enough, after listening to his words, Zhou Chenguang and Huck both fell silent in unison.

"Brother Lu, what do you say?"

"Yeah, why did this turn into roasting you on the fire?"

"Why can our relationship be so good?"

Lu Chen did not answer in a hurry, but asked calmly.

Zhou Chenguang and Huck looked at each other, and after a while, they said inexplicably:

"It's because we like each other... No, how do you say that?"

"Like-minded?"

"Yes, there are also similar interests!"

"It's like-minded..."

Cheng Kaiwen corrected him next to him with a serious face.

Zhou Chenguang is not angry either. He also knows that his grades are not comparable to those of top students from political and law universities.

But the truth is this. If people want to maintain a long-term relationship, even if it does not rise to the outlook on life and values, at least morality and character must be of the same frequency.

"Everything you say is right, but there's one more thing."

Lu Chen paused and continued:

"That's how much we give to each other. There's always a back-and-forth."

A relationship can only last long if there is never a situation where one party tries to take advantage of the other.

"you're right!"

As a native of Northern Xinjiang, Huck has always been straightforward:

"Friends can only last long if they come and go!"

"Yes."

Lu Chen used his words to continue:

"So you gave me vouchers today, and tomorrow I will think about returning other resources to you. If they are online resources such as APPs and official accounts, they need to be scheduled by Kevin. You can't just do it casually. insert; insert
However, if it is offline, our coffee shop currently has the lowest price per customer among the three stores. If we are not careful, it will become a loss-making business.

You gave me a voucher with such a high denomination, and you gave me so many at once. Aren't you posing a problem for me? "

"Brother Lu, actually you don't have to rush to give it back to me..."

"Brother Huck, didn't you just say that we have always been in contact?"

Lu Chen's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Huck had no choice but to express his belief.

Zhou Chenguang looked like he wanted to say something more, but Lu Chen just glanced at him and roughly guessed what he wanted to say.

"In the future, the coffee shop will definitely cooperate with Beijiang restaurants and barber shops as appropriate."

Lu Chen said calmly:

"At that time, I will come up with a better cooperation model. In addition to bringing customers to the three stores, I also hope to give back to consumers better."

"Brother Lu is still thoughtful..."

Lu Chendu had already said this, so Huck had no choice but to put the stack of vouchers back into his pocket.

The same goes for Zhou Chenguang. Although he is still a little reluctant, he does not dare to waste Lu Chen's time any longer.

"Then I'll see you off."

Lu Chen looked back.

Although it has only been open for less than 20 minutes, the coffee shop is already packed with people.

"No need! Go and do your work!"

Huck waved his hand:

"When you're done, remember to take your girlfriend and brothers to the store for dinner!"

"Then you should prepare a few bottles of good wine for me."

"As long as your girlfriend lets you drink, the wine will be enough!"
