"Shopkeeper, I heard that the seats opposite have been reserved for more than half a month."
Inside Wangshu Building, a waiter carefully reported to Shopkeeper Wang.
Since Xihelou opened today, shopkeeper Wang of Wangshulou's face has been as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Normally at this time in the afternoon, although Wangshu Tower is not at its peak business hour, there should be at least two or three tables of customers on each floor, but today there were only two tables of customers in the entire restaurant.
This is a regular customer of Wangshu Tower. When he walked in the door, he was greeted twice by shopkeeper Wang and came in because he couldn't save his face.
But just like this, when the two tables of guests were eating, they looked at Xihelou opposite from time to time.
And the reservation for Xihe Building has arrived half a month later, which means that in the next half month, Wangshu Building will face the same situation.
He secretly sent his cronies to watch the opening activities there today.
After his cronies came back, he realized that although Tang Ping across from him was young, he was impeccable in his work.
Not only that, but the key point is that he can't learn many of the marketing methods he wants to learn.
It's like the pre-charged membership card he covets the most.
He also wants to learn. Who wouldn't want to learn the good thing of collecting thousands of coins in advance?
But that membership card, if he couldn't make it as impossible to counterfeit as Tang Ping, then his Wangshu Tower would probably be destroyed by the counterfeit membership cards of his peers in a few days.
Just when shopkeeper Wang had a dark look on his face, the snake came.
Shopkeeper Wang saw a snake carrying a bag in the backyard.
"Shopkeeper Wang, is it difficult to do this this time?"
"Why is this? Could it be that General Yun's men just take money and do nothing?" Shopkeeper Wang had a gloomy face.
Today's bad news came one after another. Originally, he thought that the business on the other side was so good. As long as Ma She did something to ruin the reputation of Xi Helou on the other side, he would have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
As a result, when the snake came, it said that things were not easy to do.
Without saying much, Ma She took out a bottle of wine from the baggage behind his back.
"This is the wine I was served across the street when I went to eat today! In Xihelou, every guest gets a new bottle of wine like this. If you can't finish it, you can take it away. If you are a member, you can keep it. In their store, if the wine is stored, there will be a seal with the customer's fingerprint, and it will be opened again after the next customer comes to check that it is correct."
Shopkeeper Wang really didn't expect that a young man like Tang Ping could be so flawless. How did he know that these were just routine operations in some hotels in the future.
He also knew that under the other party's operation, drugging and so on was just a joke.
If nothing else, even if the snake could find an opportunity to drug an unopened bottle of wine, who knows when this guest will come for wine next time?
Shopkeeper Wang can't afford to wait, so if he wants to use dirty tricks, he has to think of other ways.
"Okay, you go first, I'll find a way to find you!"
"Yes!" Ma She retreated obediently, leaving Shopkeeper Wang to hesitate there for a long time. Finally, he made up his mind and stamped his feet vigorously and said, "Come here, get me some money worth one hundred guan." Here comes the silk!"
When Shopkeeper Wang came to Xihe Building, the waiter in Xihe Building obviously knew him, but after being slightly stunned, he bowed and said like an ordinary guest: "This guest, the seat we reserved today It’s full. If you want to reserve a seat or apply for a membership card, you can follow me to our front desk.”
"I'm just here to apply for a card!" Thinking about it, he actually had to spend money to apply for a card at an enemy's restaurant, and he felt aggrieved.
But there is a saying in the art of war that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. If he didn't understand Xi Helou, how could he defeat them?
"Isn't this Shopkeeper Wang? Is there something wrong?"
"Apply for a card!" Shopkeeper Wang waved his hand angrily, and the men behind him put the silk they brought on the counter.
Lu Yi took inventory and said with a sweet smile: "Shopkeeper Wang, this is your diamond membership card. You are welcome to become a diamond member of our Xihe Building. There will be a Mid-Autumn Festival Gala event tonight that is only open to diamond members..."
Before Lu Yi could say anything, the card was taken away by shopkeeper Wang: "I know, I'll be there in the evening."
You must know that it is already late in the afternoon, but Xihe Building is still full. Among them, he also saw many old customers of Wangshu Building.
So if he stays here for one more minute, he will feel uncomfortable for one more minute.
When he returned to his shop, he heard a voice coming from behind him.
"We, Shopkeeper Wang, have quite a lot of time. First we were stepped on by Bazhenlou, but now a new restaurant can hold you in check. You still have time to wander around."
After Shopkeeper Wang heard this, he who was already very angry immediately got angry: "You!"
As soon as he turned around, he gave up.
"Fifth Young Master, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than the fifth young master of their Wang family, and the fifth young master of my own family.
As far as status is concerned, he is much higher than him, not to mention that the fifth young master is known as a talented man in the whole Taiyuan and is highly regarded by his own father.
"What? Your Wangshu Tower is about to collapse, why can't I come and take a look?" The fifth young master of the Wang family has always been proud of his talent. He came to Chang'an from Taiyuan these days, and he was having a great time reciting poems and writing poems with a group of talented scholars every day.
As a result, I suddenly heard today that a new restaurant had opened in Chang'an, just opposite Wangshu Tower. On the first day of opening, Wangshu Tower couldn't even lift its head.
He came over to take a look and sure enough, the Xihe Building opposite was bustling with people, while their Wangshu Building was deserted.
He has always been arrogant and feels that the Taiyuan Wang family is the best family in the world. This Xihe building has such a name and is located opposite Wangshu building. This is a naked provocation.
Moreover, the name of Wangshulou was written by the old man of the family. Naturally, he came today to find a way to regain face for Wangshulou, so that he could improve his favorability with the old man.
Seeing the dissatisfied shopkeeper Wang, he didn't stop here. Chang'an No. 1 Restaurant, which his family had run for many years, had been overtaken by two restaurants in a row in just one year. How dare he run out if he didn't think of a solution?
"Fifth Young Master, don't get me wrong. I...I...I just went to the other side to apply for a membership card for them. It is said that knowing oneself and the enemy is always victorious. I just wanted to find out about the other party's situation first and then respond! Also! Please take a closer look, Fifth Young Master!"
Shopkeeper Wang's waist was bent at a ninety-degree angle. If the fifth young master was not satisfied, he didn't even have to tell the old man when he returned home. He only had to mention it to the chief manager of the family, and he would probably have to leave this position.
