Chapter 196 Tear Apart

After the decoration incident alarmed Jiang Bing, Jiang Qi came home from get off work early. After a long series of inquiries, he finally figured out the relationship between Boss Shen of the decoration team and Jiang Bing.

He and Jiang Bing are just a simple boss and repeat customer, but his relationship with Jiang Xiaoliang and Qiao Huifang, Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing's biological parents, is unusual. They are old colleagues in the lumber factory.

Boss Shen is a few years younger than Jiang Xiaoliang, and he is one of the last batch to enter the lumber factory.

As for why it was the last batch, it was because the lumber factory closed down within a few months after he entered the factory.

Unemployed just after being employed.

Then Boss Shen started a fantastic career in one profession after another.

After the lumber factory closed down, people lost their jobs and had to find new ones. But it was hard to find jobs back then. Jiang Xiaoliang was taken to Nanyang to do business with the help of his old colleagues. Newcomers like Boss Shen, who had just joined the factory for a few months, did not With such a deep relationship as colleagues, I can only find a job on my own.

Boss Shen went to a small restaurant to serve as a waiter, but the restaurant collapsed.

He and his friends were caught buying and selling pirated films.

I was engaged in furniture sales, but the furniture factory collapsed.

Go to the construction site to move bricks, the construction site...

The construction site didn't collapse this time, but the contractor defaulted on wages. After working for two years, he only got paid for one year.

Feeling that everything was not going well for him, Boss Shen even began to wonder why the lumber factory collapsed in the first place. Boss Shen learned from the painful experience and decided to start a business abroad and engage in decoration together with his acquaintance Fa Xiao.

Then, as expected, he almost starved to death because he couldn't make any money. He also owed wages to the brothers in the decoration team, following the same path as the contractors who owed him wages.

Boss Shen, who was even poorer than the newly unemployed Jiang Xiaoliang and Qiao Huifang, had no choice but to borrow money from his old colleagues. At that time, Jiang Xiaoliang was at the peak of his life, on the eve of his dream of turning his bicycle into a motorcycle.

Being borrowed money by colleagues with whom he had no friendship in the past, Jiang Xiaoliang adhered to the principle that he was helped by old colleagues when he was in the most difficult time, and now he wants to help old colleagues who are in trouble, so he borrowed a sum of money from Boss Shen to solve the problem. His immediate concern.

Then Boss Shen made a fortune. Although he was not rich, he finally made money. After working as a decoration team for so many years, Boss Shen's decoration team is now considered one of the best in Xuncheng. It cooperates with several large-scale decoration companies. The business scope is very wide, and it can receive some big orders from time to time.

The orders he took from Jiang Bing were usually at cost price, making no profit at all.

But the reason why he did so many unprofitable businesses and even advised Jiang Qi to be cautious when letting him open a store was not only because Jiang Xiaoliang lent him a life-saving money when he was in the most difficult time, but also because he felt that he Bad luck passed to the Jiang family.

As we all know, Jiang Xiaoliang failed to convert his bicycle into a motorcycle. He failed so much that he almost went to the rooftop. It took many years to repay the money. When Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing were young, they thought their parents were divorced for a while. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain. Why can’t I see my biological father during the Chinese New Year?

The time when Jiang Xiaoliang failed to convert his bicycle into a motorcycle happened to be the time for Boss Shen to transfer.

When he learned that Jiang Xiaoliang's business went bankrupt, Boss Shen felt so guilty that he wanted to die to apologize. Although this matter has nothing to do with him from any angle, Boss Shen, who likes to engage in feudal superstition, always feels that he is the culprit.

After quickly repaying the money and even helping to lend money to Jiang Xiaoliang to repay the debt, Boss Shen would go to the temple every now and then to burn incense and bless the Jiang family for everything going well.

Just after more than ten years of peace and quiet in the Jiang family, Jiang Bing was born.

The legendary experience of opening one store and then one store after another is hard not to remind Boss Shen of his own past.

Jiang Qi, who learned the whole story:...

"So, sister, how do you know these things?" Jiang Qi Soul asked.

Jiang Qi guessed that not even their parents knew about such a detailed mental journey, inner entanglement, guilt, and these complicated emotions. The two families have not been close to each other over the years, otherwise Jiang Qi would not have known who Boss Shen was before Jiang Bing opened the store.

"Oh, this." Jiang Bing sat cross-legged on the bed and changed his position, "It's actually a coincidence that I know this. I don't think Boss Shen knows that I know this."

"Do you still remember the clothing store I opened before? The time I suffered the worst loss, I asked you to help me supervise the work during the decoration."

"After the decoration of the clothing store was completed, I inquired about the prices of other decoration teams and found that the price Boss Shen gave me was incredibly low. At that time, I only knew that he was an old colleague of my parents, so I hired him because I wanted to thank him. We had a barbecue with the people from the decoration team, but he drank too much and broke out."

"That night he pulled me and talked about his tangled mental journey over the years, saying that he never dared to tell our parents that my father's bankruptcy may have been caused by his bad luck. When he pulled me Tell me, Xiaobing, it’s Uncle Shen who feels sorry for you. If Uncle Shen hadn’t been so unlucky, you wouldn’t have opened a store with a loss. Uncle Shen feels uncomfortable.”

Jiang Qi:......

For a moment, Jiang Qi didn't know what to say.

After a long while, Jiang Qi said: "When we talk about decoration, I will give Boss Shen some colorful ropes."

.

Because of Boss Shen’s unbreakable relationship, the decoration of Jiang Qi’s new store started smoothly.

After looking at Jiang Qi's complete set of decoration drawings, Boss Shen quoted an astonishingly low price of 180,000 yuan. It was so low that it was unbelievable. Jiang Qi suspected that Boss Shen's order might not only make no money but also pay for it.

You know, his original decoration budget, excluding the live stage, was between 200,000 and 300,000 yuan. After adding the stage, the overall decoration budget could not be less than 30,000 yuan. Jiang Qi initially thought that if the price could be lowered to 27, 28w would be a good deal, but Boss Shen said 18w.

This price almost made Jiang Qi suggest: "This is too low, why not increase it a bit, how about 250,000?"

Of course, Jiang Qi didn't say this.

He chose to pack rice.

The upper and lower floors add up to a shop of nearly 400 square meters. A stage needs to be built, partitions need to be built, and the water and electricity may need to be redone. The amount of work is much larger than that of an ordinary new house decoration. The project volume is large and there are many people. After Jiang Qi discussed it with Huang Fugui, Huang Fugui didn't mind making dozens more bowls of vegetable noodles every day.

In the braised meat shop, Jiang Qi provided Huang Fugui with a large noodle cooking bucket like the one in the noodle shop, which was very efficient.

Jiang Qi asked for a meal, but Boss Shen initially refused.

Then on the first day of work, Jiang Qi delivered the noodles and braised vegetables. After taking the first bite of the vegetable noodles, Boss Shen swallowed them together if he refused.

December seems to be Jiang Qi’s lucky month.

Everything is going smooth.

The blind box event went smoothly, and the store was full every day. All the stores participating in the blind box event also experienced a certain degree of improvement in business. The off-season turned into the peak season. After the recruitment posters were posted, they received a lot of responses. The decoration progress was rapid, and the new store was almost full. It’s the same every day. The only small regret is probably that Qinghe.W’s video promotion is not as effective as imagined.

As the promotion of 8888 continues, the number of fans has increased by hundreds, but currently no account has exceeded the 1,000 mark.

The reputation value of recognition has increased by dozens, but the effect is still there.

But this is also reasonable. Qinghe.W's account updates three videos every week. The length of the early videos is relatively short, and the luozi belongs to the manual area, and the popularity is relatively low.

According to feedback from Fang Jing's company, Qinghe.W's fans are relatively sticky, and the conversion rate from click-through rate to attention is not low. Once the video account is maintained for a while, a more expensive promotion should be able to achieve good results.

Jiang Qi plans to wait until the video account reaches the 10th video before buying new promotions.

At 5 pm on December 10th, it was the 13th day of the blind box event and the 5th day of the new store decoration. There were less than 24 hours before the fourth Toy Spirit was drawn.

In the script competition held by Boss Zhen, the first store to withdraw from the competition appeared.

The reason for withdrawing from the competition is very simple. The rent has expired, I am unable to operate, and the store has closed down, so I have no choice but to withdraw from the competition.

Poorly managed script stores have closed down many times since this year. This should not have attracted everyone’s attention. At most, it has attracted the attention of other stores that have not closed down——

They can buy second-hand books and costumes from closed stores at low prices.

But this time, the closure of this store whose name no one even knew, attracted everyone's attention.

Because along with the closure of this store, there was also a soft marketing article.

"[Rumeng] went bankrupt, the first victim of vicious competition has appeared!" How long will the chaos in the script-killing industry continue? 》

This soft article was forwarded to the group by Jiang Jun.

Jiang Qi's first reaction when he saw this article was, it's here, it's finally here.

The fight he had been waiting for for so long was finally here.
