In the evening, visit the Internet cafe.
The Internet cafe that was originally deserted suddenly had a lot of customers.
Many young people walked to the Internet cafe in groups, and some people looked outside repeatedly to confirm that the location was correct before opening the door.
"Are you sure this is here? Why isn't there even a sign?"
"Yes, this is it."
"Then it's neat over here. What are the rows of computers for?”
“It’s not just a bar, but it also has Internet access.”…Why don’t I go online? It’s an Internet cafe. I’m here to drink.”
“You can also drink, and the drinks are better than in ordinary bars. I mainly come to listen to music.”
“It’s true! So good?”
“It’s different from the resident singers in other bars. You’ll know after listening to it.”
At the door, several young people walked in.
The waiter immediately ushered them to their seats with a smile on their face, handed them hand towels, and politely asked them what drinks they wanted.
The most active person in the group was a fashionably dressed young girl. After everyone had ordered their drinks, she began to happily explain to everyone how she discovered this treasure location.
“Do you know how I discovered this place?”
“Actually, I have passed by here before, but after looking at the menu outside, I found that everything was sold very well. It was expensive and there was no one inside, so I didn’t go in.”
“I passed by by chance last week and I heard someone singing!”
“I happened to be off work at the time. , listened at the door for a while, then came in, ordered a glass of wine, and heard the show ending in the evening!”
“It’s really good, and it’s not very noisy, but very light and very light!” The feeling of leisure, with a little bit of sadness, and a glass of wine is very special."
"And after visiting a few times, I realized that although this place is expensive, the service is really good. Ah. The waiter is so attentive. You don’t even need to shout. Just look at him and he will come over immediately. It’s so comfortable.”
Someone interjected: “Really? Is it possible that the waiter can read minds?"
The young girl glanced at him and said, "Of course not. This shows that the waiters are conscientious and can keep an eye on the customers' every detail. I knew he needed help and came over immediately."
"And the waiters here don't talk nonsense and don't sell you drinks or ask you to apply for a card. They are very polite."
"Later I came here during the day, ordered a cup of coffee and read a book, which was quite pleasant."
"Don't worry, the singer should be here soon."
"My name is Chen Lei. It is said that I live nearby. I didn't go to school after graduating from high school and have been doing music at home."
"I don't know this.How did the store find such a big treasure? "
"Come to the stands! Coming, coming! "
As soon as Chen Lei came on stage with his guitar in his arms, there were several cheers from the audience, and a girl shouted: "Chen Lei, I love you!" ”
Chen Lei blushed, sat down on the stage, adjusted the microphone, and strummed the guitar a few times, pretending not to hear, which caused a burst of laughter from the audience.
There were no polite words or greetings, and no opening remarks. Chen Lei was a man of few words.
He just cleared his throat and sang softly into the microphone along with the sound of the guitar.
"The lights are out/The moon is a lonely eye/Watching quietly/Who can't sleep alone..."
The melodious melody flows in the Internet cafe.
The audience in the audience drank wine and remained silent in this atmosphere.
“It sounds great. ”
“It’s obviously very different from the original version, but it still tastes very similar. "
"Chen Lei is like this. He has a strong personal style in whatever songs he sings. It's the kind that makes people very relaxed, but when you taste it carefully, it also has a touch of sentimentality. ”
“That’s great. ”
A slightly aged man took a sip of wine and looked at the blurry lights at night outside the curtain wall. He didn’t know what kind of memories were evoked by the lights.
Suddenly, he looked at the wine glass in his hand with some confusion.
“What’s wrong? "The female companion next to me asked.
The man took another sip.
"This wine... is actually real wine? ”
The female companion laughed: “Aren’t you talking nonsense? I have a serious business license, but I’m selling fake wine to deceive you?” "
The man shook his head: "You don't understand. Nowadays, in many bars, it is very common to bottle this kind of expensive wine. The original price of wine is a few hundred yuan, but the wine that is poured into an empty bottle for one or two hundred yuan is also sold. How many people can drink it when it is mixed into a cocktail? "
"This is not considered fake wine, it can only be said to be cheap. If you drink fake wine, you will get sick and may even be sent to the hospital, but cheap wine will only taste slightly different in your mouth and the same in your stomach. ”
The female companion still didn’t believe it: “Then you can drink it?” "
The man smiled: "Of course. Although both wines cost a few hundred yuan and wines costing one or two hundred yuan are real wines, the taste is definitely different. Otherwise, why would they sell it for hundreds of dollars? ”
“Anyone who knows a little bit about wine can feel the difference. "
He gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and then looked at Chen Lei who was singing in the stands: "This place is really interesting. ”
“We can invite some old friends to play together another day. "
......
Bar counter.
Ma Yang drank a glass of wine slowly, looked at Chen Lei singing on the stage, and said with emotion: "It seems... I can indeed sing better than you. "
Zhang Yuan said sincerely: "Yes. MarcoDid you just hear it now? "
Ma Yang shook his head very sincerely: "I didn't hear it, I saw it. When you sing, there are not so many people listening, not so many people ordering drinks, and everyone is not listening so seriously..."
Zhang Yuan: "...Brother Ma, for the sake of this glass of wine For the sake of it, could you please stop hurting me? "
Zhang Yuan is so awesome. Chen Lei is like God's gift of food. Isn't it funny to keep saying that he can sing better than me?
"So, how on earth should we give it to him? Pay wages? "
Ma Yang asked a very serious question.
Last week, after hearing Zhang Yuan sing, Chen Lei inexplicably gained confidence and volunteered to sing on stage.< /p>
After singing, the effect was very obvious. Ma Yang immediately asked him to stay without saying a word, and he would try singing for a week.
If he was satisfied after a week, he would sign a formal contract. If he was not satisfied, he would sign a formal contract. Just give him a thousand yuan for hard work and leave.
Now that one week is up, Ma Yang is very satisfied with Chen Lei.
But he encountered a problem, which is the issue of salary. .
“What is the appropriate salary for a resident singer in a bar? "Ma Yang considered whether he could refer to the bar's salary standards.
Zhang Yuanmen was clear about this matter. After all, he had done this before.
"Brother Ma, in general, small bars A resident singer may only earn about 3,000 yuan a month. Of course, those are all little-known singers. "
"The specific money depends on the level of the bar, the popularity of the singer, and how much the owner is willing to open. ”
“Some big bars have a lot of customers, and many singers can even sing for free in order to become famous. On the other hand, if a small bar hires some famous resident singers, they will naturally have to pay more. . ”
“Normally, for Chen Lei’s level, I think it’s not too much to give him four to five thousand, or even less.” "
Four to five thousand...
Ma Yang hesitated.
"This...it's not that I can't bear the money, nor that I think Chen Lei is not worth the money. . "
"The main thing is that our Internet cafe is still losing money. ”
“Do you think this is okay? Let’s give him a basic salary of 1,500 yuan, and everything else will be a commission.” "
Zhang Yuan was stunned: "A commission? Where did you smoke it from? "
Ma Yang pointed to the wine on the bar: "Pull it from the drink. From now on, we will make it clear to our customers that half of the profit from drinks during the concert will be given to Chen Lei. ”
Zhang Yuan took a breath: “Brother Ma, isn’t it a bit too harsh to hit half of it?” "
"It's okay, we can't sell much wine to begin with..." Ma Yang didn't care.
Zhang Yuan was speechless for a moment: "That's right, and what we sell is all real wine. , the profit is not that high. ”
“If you think about it this way, it’s quite acceptable...”
If we follow the model of a general bar, the drinks areMain profit.
Many bars, nightclubs, KTVs, etc., are adulterated to some extent. For example, XO recycles expensive bottles, fills them with cheap wine and sells them. Common phenomenon.
With this sales method, drinks are huge profits.
But from the very beginning of Moyu Internet Cafe, Mr. Pei has made it clear that all drinks must be real, not to mention fake ones, and not a drop of low-quality wine can be mixed.
If you say what kind of wine to sell, then it must be that kind of wine.
So they all sell alcohol. Although the prices at Moyu Internet Cafe include profits, the profits are simply incomparable with other bars.
What’s more, with the current amount of traffic, we can’t sell much in a day.
Zhang Yuan thought for a while: "Brother Ma, it's up to you. I think it's okay to take a commission, and maybe it can also boost the sales of some drinks."
Ma Yang made the decision immediately. : "Okay, that's it. I'll tell Chen Lei after he finishes singing tonight, and I guess he will definitely agree."
"If we really follow this pattern, I have a suggestion." Zhang Yuan suddenly came up with an idea, "Let's order a new batch of menus. The price of each glass of wine will be marked with a bracket, and the amount of money Chen Lei can draw is written in the bracket."
" For example, if we sell the Northern Lights cocktail for 60 yuan a cup, the cost will be about 30 yuan. In addition to the cost of space and labor, let’s assume that our cost is 40 yuan and the profit is 20 yuan, half of which will be given to Chen Lei. That’s 10 yuan.”
“When the time comes, just write (10) after the price of Northern Lights Cocktail 60, so that everyone will know that this drink gives Chen Lei a commission of 10 yuan. "
Ma Yangyi frowned and hesitated: "In this way, will everyone guess our approximate profit?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head: "Brother Ma, even if you don't. Write, don’t others know your profits? You can find the prices of these wines by searching online.”
“Most people who come to the bar to drink are well aware of the profits. Obviously, the whole industry is like this, and no one takes it seriously."
"We write down the commission for the singers, and it seems that we are very good to the singers and very generous."
Ma Yang suddenly said: "Oh, that's right! Then I think this method is good, so let's do it!"
