Rebirth begins with losing the white moonlight

Chapter 35 Conditions and Chips

The next few days were very simple. 407 and his team were busy reading and writing jokes. Occasionally they would get together to play poker in the evenings when they had free time.

During this process, Lu Chen also felt many obvious changes. For example, Cheng Kaiwen liked to talk, Lin Yusheng didn't like to go out to play, and Qian Bin became more integrated into the group, but none of this could compare to the shock that one incident brought to him:
That was the awakening of Zhang Honglei's blood.

Lu Chen doesn't know how to describe this feeling. Although he was not someone who would waste time on short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou in his last life, he was more or less "heartbroken" and "double-click 666" "Toxic.

So at the beginning, his expectation for Zhang Honglei was that it would be enough to tell the jokes in his head, but slowly he discovered that Zhang Honglei was simply talented in this area, and this talent could even be said to be ten years ahead.

"A friend of mine had a fortune teller last year, and the fortune teller said that this year, he would be deeply hurt by a woman who suddenly appeared, which made him afraid to talk about his relationship.

Just yesterday, he was hit by a big mother riding an electric car at the corner, and he is still lying in the hospital. "

"I met a little boy on the road today and insisted on snatching his grandfather's hat to wear, but his mother refused to let him, so the little boy cried, and his grandfather gave it to him because he couldn't bear it.

Unexpectedly, after the little boy put on his hat, he suddenly turned his head and said to his mother: Do you think I look like your father? "

……

He watched Zhang Honglei perform several performances in a row, whether it was movements or expressions, they were all at the pinnacle in this era.

After thinking about it, Lu Chen suddenly said:

"You can try to add a sentence of 'who understands the family members' in front of each joke, and try adding a sentence of 'understanding applause' at the end."

Zhang Honglei did as usual:
"Family, who knows? Today I went to meet a client with my boss. The boss was driving a car and a dog suddenly rushed out on the roadside.

Seeing that he was about to hit him, he stopped abruptly. Unexpectedly, the dog also stopped, which made me so happy that he said: Haha, look, dogs can brake.Understand the applause. "

...that's too much.

Lu Chen couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

As far as he is like, ten years later, the Liaobei Internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans will have to shout Patriarch.

"Okay, let's change our thinking."

Lu Chen hooked the little fat man Li Hanbo's shoulder:

"It's enough to have him alone on the track where the real person appears, let's change to the graphic style."

"Row."

Li Hanbo also readily agreed.

He found out that in terms of talent, he really couldn't beat Lao Zhang.

A week passed quickly, and Zhang Honglei seemed to have no creative bottlenecks. He kept updating 1-2 articles every day. With the bonus of traffic, he quickly accumulated hundreds of fans.

Seeing that the 20th had already passed, and it was not long before the end of the month, Lu Chen brought Liu Sijun and Li Hanbo to the coffee shop again.

But this time, before they took the initiative to find the person in charge, the lobby manager came over to say hello:
"Already ordered the drinks? Then I'll let the kitchen serve three waffles, and I'll invite them today."

Lu Chen didn't refuse. He knew that the merchant had seen the effect of the coffee coupon.

"Awaited."

About 15 minutes later, the lobby manager personally brought three waffles, exchanged glances with Lu Chen, and sat down beside him with a smile:

"I know, you are a person who likes to get straight to the point, so I don't want to have too many twists and turns. I want to chat with you. Do you have time?"

"of course."

Lu Chen took a sip of the kiwi and put down the fork in his hand.

No wonder it is a signboard, the fruit is very fresh, which means that the selection is very good.

"Actually, since you didn't want a stored-value card, but asked me to exchange it for a discount coupon, I could roughly guess your intentions, but I really didn't expect that during the summer vacation, and it was such a short time, these The discount coupon can be returned to our store."

The lobby manager glanced at Li Hanbo and Liu Sijun beside Lu Chen, and then refocused his attention on him:

"Can you tell me how you achieved this result?"

"That's too long to say."

Lu Chen smiled, apparently he had no intention of continuing:
"But for our relationship at this stage, the process is not important, what you care about is the result, isn't it?"

It seemed that he didn't expect him to answer like this. The lobby manager was a little surprised, but soon returned to normal:

"You are right to say that, because we are indeed interested in the resources behind you, and the reason why you walked into this store today is probably not just for a cup of coffee."

"you're right."

Without going around the bush, Lu Chen graciously agreed with the other party's words:

"So we can also chat openly and honestly, what kind of conditions are we willing to exchange the chips in the other party's hands."

A hint of appreciation flashed in the lobby manager's eyes.

But he did not take the initiative to answer the question, but instead asked:
"Are you still going to use the discount coupon this time?"

"It doesn't matter what method, I just want to see if the conditions you gave me can meet my needs."

"Then what are your needs?"

"For 500 cups, my cost price must be controlled at 15 yuan, and for 1000 cups, the cost must be controlled within 12 yuan."

Lu Chen said bluntly.

He didn't want to discuss with the other party how much to recharge and how much to give away. Since both parties knew it well, they shouldn't waste time on such useless things.

"You are direct."

The lobby manager smiled and at the same time calmly calculated an account in his mind.

He did guess that Lu Chen wouldn't beat around the bush, but he didn't expect that he would go straight to the point like this.

So the plan he originally prepared was to recharge 10000 and get 2000, plus an additional 120 discount coupons, which is equivalent to the cost of a single cup of 600 cups through Lu Chen’s channel, which is around 16.6.

This plan is still a bit different from Lu Chen's requirements.

"Time should be used to create more value."

Without avoiding the gaze of the lobby manager at all, Lu Chen looked directly into his eyes with a smile.

Although he admired the boy in front of him very much, the lobby manager still said regretfully:
"I'm sorry, we can't provide you with this plan."

normal.

Lu Chen thought about it in his heart, but he didn't care at all.

He never thought that the other party would agree, because he knew that this condition fully squeezed the profit margin of the coffee shop.

But talking about cooperation is just like selling clothes in the market. No matter how much you quote, the other party will reserve room for price reduction. In this case, it is better to set the conditions a little harsher from the beginning.

"Then what is the plan you can give?"

He brought the topic back to the other party.

This time, the lobby manager was also very straightforward:

"I can help you control the cost price of 1000 cups at 15 yuan, and for 3000 cups, I will help you get it to 12 yuan."
