Chapter 33 Interview

Chapter 33 Interview
The next day was Sunday. In the afternoon, Shen Yuan and Li Yuhang made an appointment to meet at the bar they had taken over.

The Qing Bar is located on Yudai Street, not far from May Day Square. It is also a famous Qing Bar Street in Xingcheng. Shen Yuan has been here several times.

However, I just came here to consume before, but now I am my own boss and I am here to inspect, so it is inevitable that my perspective will be different.

At half past two, Shen Yuan got off a taxi at Yudai Street and took a walk around.

He found that the bars here were all very similar. They were all taverns with basically the same business categories, and there was nothing particularly attractive about their appearance.

At least you can’t see anything during the day, and I don’t know what it’s like at night.

On one street, almost all the stores are doing the same business. Naturally, some are doing good business, but there are definitely some that are not doing well.

It is obvious that Li Yuhang took over the latter.

When Shen Yuan walked in, he saw that the decoration style was indeed nothing special, with basically wooden tables and chairs and a retro bar.

Behind the bar is a large wooden wine cabinet, but it is completely empty as the previous owner had emptied it out.

However, the area of ​​this store is indeed quite large. Shen Yuan took a quick look around and estimated that it should be at least two hundred square meters.

No wonder the original owner withdrew. For such a large store, the corresponding rent and expenses are also high.

Without sufficient sales support, daily expenses will just flow away like water.

Moreover, a bar is too large and if there are not many customers, it will look too deserted and there will not be the right atmosphere for drinking.

Although there is a word "Qing" in "Qing Bar", it does not mean quiet.

When Shen Yuan arrived, Li Yuhang had been waiting in the store for more than ten minutes. He immediately complained, "Why are you so late?"

Although this guy likes to play a little bit at ordinary times, he is still serious when doing things.

No matter how serious you are, the results are not what you want. There are bloody examples before.

Sometimes things can’t be accomplished just by attitude and hard work; direction and choice are equally important.

However, Shen Yuan would not be polite to Li Yuhang for this reason, and directly interrupted his spellcasting: "Don't bother, it's only ten minutes late, I was just walking outside."

"By the way, have you contacted the original store manager?"

When Shen Yuan and Li Yuhang were chatting yesterday, they learned that the store manager previously hired by the original boss is still looking for a job.

And there are several employees following her, it would be great if we could recruit them.

He and Li Yuhang were both laymen, and Shen Yuan felt that he needed an expert with more experience.

Li Yuhang nodded: "I have contacted him and he will be here soon. I just don't know if he is willing to work here again."

Shen Yuan replied: "Let's talk. The main thing is that she is familiar with this place and has people under her. If her character and work attitude are good, I can offer her a higher salary."

"Okay, what do you think of the decorating style?"

Li Yuhang wanted to make drastic changes, but he couldn't decide what style to choose.

"What do you think of industrial style?"

Shen Yuansao looked around the bar and said, "The bars here are all retro or British style. If we make them similar, it won't look attractive. The key is that the cost of industrial style renovation is low. We can just paint the walls and add more soft furnishings."

"Of course, the style is secondary. The main thing is the atmosphere and popularity. Although it is a bar, it must have the atmosphere of drinking. But this involves traffic generation and operation."

“I think it’s OK!”

Li Yuhang listened to Shen Yuan's talk, which seemed to make a lot of sense, but he didn't quite understand what he said at the end. However, he always believed in his childhood friend.

"Can't you have some ideas of your own?"

Shen Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes. In fact, he was also a layman and was completely in the dark.

These are my own conclusions based on my previous experiences of going to bars and what Lao Shen taught me.

But I have never put it into practice, so I am not sure about it.

I’m afraid that when the time comes, “Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick” will get together, that would be really great!

However, Shen Yuan's expectations were not high. If he could break even, plus the double cashback from Tongzi's father, the profits he would get would be considerable.

As for Li Yuhang, if this bastard can maintain the business, he will probably be very happy. After all, compared with the previous painful failures, this is much better. "Hello, is this Mr. Li?"

At this time, a non-angry female voice interrupted the two people's conversation.

Shen Yuan turned around and saw a girl who was about 160 or years old. She was petite, about cm tall.

But her style is very bold, in the nightclub style.

She was wearing a tight black vest, her chest was bulging, and her flat and firm abdominal muscles were exposed, showing that she exercised regularly.

She wore a pair of light blue tight jeans that revealed her plump buttocks.

This waist-to-height ratio is really great!
Shen Yuan thought that this person should be the former store manager, but he didn't expect him to be quite young.

"It's Xiao Siyao, right?" Li Yuhang asked.

"Yes, hello."

Xiao Siyao had a blank expression on her face and nodded lightly to the two of them.

Her former boss was quite nice to her and gave her severance pay after the company went bankrupt, so Xiao Siyao wanted to come and take a look when he introduced her to her.

However, after seeing the two of them, Xiao Siyao was a little disappointed.

Although I don’t know which of the two is the boss, both of them are too young and it’s obvious that they have no business experience.

He doesn't look like the boss, but more like one of the young people who come to the store to play.

They might be the second generation of rich people who live a life of luxury and whose parents gave them money to open a bar.

But if such a person opens a bar, it is highly likely that it will not last long.

One is that you have no experience and are prone to losing money, and the other is that you only get excited after a short period of time.

But Xiao Siyao wouldn't just turn around and leave. She still had to show the most basic courtesy.

“Let’s sit down and talk.”

Shen Yuan came to a table, pulled out a stool and sat down, and Li Yuhang also made a gesture to invite him in.

"it is good."

After Xiao Siyao sat down, Shen Yuan introduced himself and then went straight to the point:

"I won't say any more polite words. You should have noticed that we are actually about the same age, so let's not talk about those empty words."

"We want to hear your opinion on the original bar. Did your original owner have any problems with the business? Or why do you think he couldn't keep it going?"

Shen Yuan treated this meeting completely as an interview, wanting to see what Xiao Siyao's abilities were.

He didn't want to stay in the store every day. Anyway, he had Tongzi's father and more channels to make money. This bar was just a small investment for him.

Not to mention Li Yuhang, with his personality, he probably wants to be a hands-off boss.

Hearing this, Xiao Siyao was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that the first question in the interview would be this.

She has interviewed in many places in the past few days, and it seems that all the questions asked are nonsense.

For example, "Why do you want to apply for this position?" "What are your strengths?" "Do you think you can be good at this position?" "Do you think there will be any difficulties in this job?"

To her, these were bullshit questions, especially "Why are you applying for this position?"

Of course I am unemployed and I am looking for a job to make a living!

But Xiao Siyao was still quite interested in the question just asked, and she did have some ideas.

She had talked to her boss about it before, but the boss had been losing money for several months and was no longer interested in the matter, so he didn't take it seriously.

"I have been here since the store opened. I personally think there are many problems. The first is the location. There are too many bars in this area, and there are too many choices for customers, so it is difficult for a new store to attract customers."

"Secondly, we are not doing well in attracting new customers to come back for more purchases. The food here is not cheap, and there is nothing special about it. People don't want to come here after coming here once."
