"Is this the vending machine mentioned?" Ling Hong took the phone and gradually approached .
"Yes . That's it . It simply destroys the aesthetic feeling . " With his brows knitted tight, Wu Hai was still thinking of that oil painting of his .
After it was sold out, Wu Hai even paid the buyer to redeem it . This was a first . Because of that, he made some concessions to Zheng Jiawei on some matters . Judging from that, one could imagine how Wu Hai treasured that oil painting of People Passing by A Small Restaurant .
But now, this machine that had no aesthetic feeling at all was placed at the door of Yuan Zhou's restaurant . Wu Hai was really unable to tolerate that .
"Indeed . He actually sold the drink over here . What good do these drinks do to people?" It was once in a blue moon where Ling Hong shared the same opinion with Wu Hai on a matter .
Ling Hong never drank those drinks . Without any reason, he just didn't like drinking them .
As a rich and capricious second generation tycoon, he naturally didn't want others to drink it either . Yeap, that was the simple and crude logic .
"Ho Ho . I will let him know what being unable to sell means . " Jiang Changxi stood behind the two people and said confidently .
"Of course . " Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and nodded .
"I will provide the money needed," said the wealthy Ling Hong .
"Okay . So starting from tomorrow, we send soybean milk to everyone free of charge during breakfast . " Jiang Changxi worked out a plan quickly .
"Will that work?" Wu Hai indicated that he really had no idea of things on business .
"No problem . Let's buy out all the soybean milk from the street peddlers and then give them out to the customers . We can put them beside the queuing machine and that will be perfect . " Ling Hong nodded his head and then said that .
"Why don't we move this machine away directly?" Wu Hai thought of a simple and crude method .
"First of all, he must have got the approval from the Street Administration Office before he placed the machine over here . That is why it's not good to move it away directly now . Secondly, we are all civilized people and therefore should treat everybody gently when it comes to business . " Jiang Changxi grinned .
"Does giving out the soybean milk for free also count?" Wu Hai murmured with a low voice .
"Of course . After all, we are squeezing him out of the business openly . " Jiang Changxi turned his head, looking at Wu Hai, and then said mildly .
"I'm going to inform Boss Yuan that we are going to put a shelf beside the queuing machine . " Wu Hai had a very sensitive instinct . He said that immediately when he saw the smile of Jiang Changxi .
"Um . Let's just take this matter as being the perks to the customers from the committee . " Ling Hong waved his hand in a generous manner .
"Tsk . I also have much money . " Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and walked into Yuan Zhou's restaurant swaggeringly .
"Shua Shua" . Yuan Zhou was writing something on the LED panel seriously .
"Boss Yuan, Boss Yuan?" Wu Hai saw Yuan Zhou taking the LED panel, standing at the stairs and writing .
"Um . There are still ten minutes before the business time . " Yuan Zhou put the pen down and said earnestly .
"I know, I know . I have learned the time by heart . " Wu Hai nodded his head .
Then, Yuan Zhou stared at Wu Hai just like that and revealed a very clear meaning as if to say, "Since you know everything, why are you still standing there? Why don't you go out?"
"I have something to say . I'll put a basket beside your queuing machine to provide the drinks to the customers in line . " Wu Hai instantly understood Yuan Zhou's meaning and said immediately .
"Okay . Don't occupy too much space . " Yuan Zhou nodded .
In Yuan Zhou's opinion, it wasn't a big deal to put a basket there . Besides, he was very sure that the drinks were free . After all, Wu Hai didn't seem to be a person good at doing business .
"Alright . That's it . " Wu Hai turned around and left .
Neither Wu Hai, Ling Hong nor Jiang Changxi intended to tell Yuan Zhou about their intention . It was the matter of the queuing committee .
And Yuan Zhou also thought of a good solution .
Along with the arrival of the business time at noon, the customers outside became more as usual .
It was a little cold and there were also hot drinks in the vending machine . Besides, it was close to Yuan Zhou's restaurant and thus more people came to buy .
In no more than half an hour after the business time commenced, the female boss of the noodle restaurant had replenished the drinks three times . She appeared to be as proud as a peacock every time she carried the drinks .
The fourth time she did so, the female boss said to Boss Tong directly .
"Ouch! I'm so exhausted . Why is my business so good? Even if it's 2 RMB more expensive, so many people still come to buy it . " The female boss revealed uncontrollable complacence .
"Humph . " Boss Tong snorted coldly . On his skinny face, there appeared an expression of contempt .
"You guys are all big boss . You don't care about so little money, but I do . I'm poor . Look! I have earned a profit of over 200 RMB in such a short time . " The female boss covered her mouth and appeared quite complacent .
She was right . Boss Tong was the second candidate that the suited man with a crew cut found, but she straightforwardly refused him .
After all, Boss Tong had really encountered such a matter where Yuan Zhou had refused people twice already .
In her opinion, one had to get others' consent if they wanted to use others' customers to do business . Even Boss Tong had thanked Yuan Zhou since her business became better, let alone this man in the suit who wanted to steal Yuan Zhou's business . Naturally, Boss Tong wouldn't agree .
"I indeed don't care about the money earned this way . " Unlike Yuan Zhou, Boss Tong wasn't good at the speaking . She directly answered immodestly .
"Of course, of course . But I have to say Boss Yuan is really a good person that brings us the money . " The female boss laughed and said .
"Although you bounced up and down happily now, you are no more than the tail of a rabbit . It won't be long . " Boss Tong pointed at the female boss and said straightforwardly .
"Ho Ho . It will last until Boss Yuan no longer opens his restaurant anymore . " The female boss said that indignantly and afterwards, turned around and left .
She had to check if the drinks in the vending machine were sold out . If so, she must replenish them . Only that was the most important thing .
As for Boss Tong, the female boss only took her as a jealous old woman .
In Yuan Zhou's restaurant, however, it was still as bustling as before . The customers talked about the current affairs and the delicacies . And some tried to get others' food with various tricks . Everyone of them was as same as usual .
If there was any difference, it might be that everyone was holding a drink, some were normal-temperature carbonated drinks while some were hot milk tea .
"Well, it seems that many people are buying it . " Yuan Zhou nodded his head privately .
Yuan Zhou wasn't worried at all . After all, only the good business today could give a contrast to the worse business tomorrow . When there was contrast, there will be pain .
Not only Yuan Zhou, but also the three people, Jiang Changxi, Ling Hong, and Wu Hai that had reached an agreement were thinking this way .
During the dinner time, the sales of the vending machine were even more fearful . The female boss almost had to replenish the drinks every 15 minutes . The frequency lasted until Yuan Zhou closed his restaurant .
"I'm so exhausted . The cash box is too small . " The complacency on her face almost flowed out .
"I said it would work . Now you see that I'm right . It doesn't matter if the drinks are more expensive . I charge more than that and that's considered quite normal . " The female boss said to his husband with a prideful tone .
"Yeah, you are right . " The boss of the noodle restaurant was an honest person . On hearing that, he just echoed without saying anything else .
"Of course I'm right . I have to call that person and order more drinks . It is better if we store more drinks . The more, the better . " The female boss thought that shrewdly .
"Okay . Let me tidy them up," said the boss obediently .
Once the phone call was put through, the man in the suit and a crew cut started to boast . After they praised themselves for having the unique foresight, they confirmed an order for more drinks .
Early next morning, however, an LED panel was placed outside of the door of Yuan Zhou's restaurant .
It was still the colorful neon lamps that twinkled with Yuan Zhou's special taste . Nevertheless, it wasn't about a new dish or a promotion activity this time . Upon raising their head, the customers could easily see the characters of "Warm Reminder" .
