Bitter words cannot be spoken
The two men finished buying tools and were ready to go home and celebrate, as their business would officially open tomorrow.
However, it really proved that old saying: one thing goes smoothly, a hundred things go smoothly. After Old Ye and Tang Zhendong finished buying tools, they passed by the small alley where they usually set up their stall. Originally, the two were planning to cross over to the other side of the train station square to take a bus to Old Ye's home. But before they even reached their usual spot, their neighbor, an old lady who sold hairpins and trinkets, shouted from afar, "Old Ye, where have you been? You've got customers waiting!"
Lao Ye slowed down upon hearing that business was coming to his doorstep. Originally walking at a pretty fast pace, Lao Ye quietly slowed down. As the saying goes: Those who rush to do business are not doing real business.
The more you pretend to be a master, the more people will treat you as one! When it comes to business, if someone rushes forward hastily and recklessly, they are definitely a scammer.
Lao Ye is a master at understanding human psychology.
Tang Zhendong also thought of this question immediately, and he followed behind Old Ye with a steady pace. "Are you Master Ye? Do you have time now?"
A man in his forties seemed to be waiting anxiously for Old Ye and hurriedly came forward before Old Ye even arrived.
"Old Ye Ge, this is the one who has been looking for you to see the feng shui, and has been waiting for you here for a while. Hurry up and go take a look!" The vendor selling hairpins was a woman in her thirties, her stall was located where Tang Zhen Dong's fruit stand used to be. There were many small hotels around here, and many young people came here to rent rooms, all of whom were migrant workers or students with limited financial resources, so they liked to buy cheap hairpins and trinkets.
"Thank you, big sister." Old Ye politely thanked her and didn't say a word to this middle-aged man in his forties from start to finish.
Lao Ye is well-versed in the art of dealing with people. The more business that comes to him, the more he stretches it out, and the bigger he makes it, the more it shows his status and ability.
Lao Ye chatted with the woman selling flowers for a while, and then turned to the middle-aged man next to him, who was getting anxious to death, constantly rubbing his hands like an ant on a hot pot.
Tang Zhendong watched from the side as Old Ye used his trick to deceive people, and seeing this middle-aged man's anxious appearance, he couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. He had long since learned Old Ye's trick.
It wasn't until Old Ye finished chatting with the woman that Wu Kun, a middle-aged man, had the opportunity to talk to him. "Master Ye, look at me, I was introduced by Li Zhiyong, he said you're a master and can definitely help me."
Lao Ye turned around, "Oh, who? Who is Li Zhiyong?"
"Wu Kun patted his head, "Look at me, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wu Kun. Li Zhiyong, we all call him Old Li, he's an old employee of the coal company. We're old colleagues. Last time Master, you helped me cure his headache. Today I met Old Li and he told me to come find you."
Wu Kun said this, and Old Ye and Tang Zhen Dong both remembered who this person was. He was the one whose wife had fallen ill a few days ago, and he had casually handed over 3,000 yuan to Old Ye, asking him to help with the treatment. As a result, Old Ye and Tang Zhen Dong went to help him solve the problem and cured the illness. Of course, Tang Zhen Dong quickly found the cause of Old Li's illness - it was a severe fire on top of his head, which was a Fire Overcoming Metal situation. Tang Zhen Dong had thought that even if he entered this situation, it would take at least ten days to half a month to start taking effect, but unexpectedly, Old Li recovered in less than a week.
Of course, Old Li's illness wasn't completely cured, it was just much better than before. Human illnesses are usually like this: when you're ill, you wish you could die immediately, but once the illness is gone, your whole body feels comfortable and relaxed; being sick and not being sick are two completely different feelings that contrast sharply with each other.
Old Li is actually not really good, just obviously better, much better than before, and is recovering quickly.
This man is in high spirits whenever he encounters a joyful event, and Lao Li's spirit is very good. When meeting old colleagues from the past, they naturally boast greatly, so as soon as an old colleague mentions their own difficulties, he immediately brings up Ye Dashi, whom he is familiar with.
"Come on, Master Ye, let's go find a place to eat and chat."
Wu Kun pulled Old Ye up and left without saying a word, with Tang Zhendong naturally following behind. The three of them found a private room in a restaurant and sat down, where Wu Kun began to talk about his own affairs.
Wu Kun is also an employee of the original coal company, just like Old Li. The coal company was not doing well, and Wu Kun did not stick to a bankrupt company like Old Li did. He left his unit several years ago and chose to take a leave of absence while retaining his position. He opened a flower shop on his own, but Wu Kun is a clever person, so while running the flower shop, he also started doing wedding planning business.
Weddings and flowers have been inseparable since ancient times. Wedding car decorations require flowers, the bride and groom need flowers, and the scattered petals are all part of it. Moreover, you don't even need to own a wedding car yourself, as some wedding car teams will contact you proactively. Emcees, photographers, hosts, and other services are all readily available. Flower shops play a role in connecting these resources together, integrating them into a cohesive whole, which then becomes the wedding celebration. Many wedding companies originated from flower shops.
Although Wu Kun himself said that he was running a flower shop, Old Ye could tell that Wu Kun's business was doing well, and what was doing well was the wedding planning business, which was actually Wu Kun's main direction.
With the development of the wedding industry in recent years, Wu Kun has done a good job. His small flower shop has become a medium-sized wedding company with five or six employees. When there are jobs to be done, the five or six people can be divided into two groups to set up and arrange things. The business has been booming in recent years.
However, things didn't go well from the time a real estate company was established across the street from Wu Kun's flower shop. Wu Kun's business went downhill and it was almost deserted. It seemed that from then on, the flower shop had one bad thing after another.
It's true that starting a business can be difficult, but it seems like everything is going wrong. Either the wedding car breaks down on the road, or the scheduled host has an emergency and can't make it, or the hotel we booked suddenly raises its prices. In short, nothing has gone smoothly since that day, which has left Wu Kun at his wit's end.
In theory, the wedding car and Wu Kun are just cooperative relationships, not subordinate to each other. The customer booked an Audi, Wu Kun helped contact the Audi team, the customer booked a Mazda, Wu Kun helped contact the Mazda team, everyone has their own car, and the cars are all their own. You say that such a car had an accident, theoretically speaking, it has nothing to do with Wu Kun, if you want to find someone, you should find the car team or the driver who was involved in the accident. However, the customers who came to book the wedding celebration didn't think so: I booked the wedding celebration at your place, you have to take responsibility for me.
Actually, they should have found Wu Kun to deal with this matter, but Wu Kun was so angry that he would go find the driver, and then the driver would go find someone else, and it would be the same procedure even if they appealed to the court.
Who let the other party sign a contract with your flower shop directly, when something went wrong, they would naturally come to you. You feel uncomfortable or can't afford it, you can go find the car again. This is the logic, but when you really want to find the car, the car had an accident and the people in the car were gone, who would still have the mind to care about your little wedding dispute?
Wu Kun can only be a mute eating bitter melon, with bitterness known only to himself.
Actually, such as hotels increasing prices, the host having something to attend to and not being able to come, the groom's family would also be unhappy. All these things would have to be dealt with by Wu Kun, who was already extremely annoyed, having lost money and gotten angry, but most importantly, his reputation had been ruined.
So many problematic customers came to make trouble, can't it affect business? As a result, Wu Kun's flower wedding celebration business has been getting worse and worse. Now even the workers' wages have become a problem, fortunately, he made a lot of money in the previous few years, with a solid foundation, so as not to go bankrupt, but this makes Wu Kun unbearable.
