The owner of Huji Decoration Co., Ltd. met Xue Poye in the private room of a teahouse.
The private room is very quiet. The ancients paid attention to tranquility, elegance and concentration when tasting tea. Therefore, in this high-end teahouse, there is no laughter like ordinary teahouses. There is only tea brewed in a small stove, and the tea is fragrant and elegant.
As soon as the two met, they immediately recognized each other. Xue Poye clearly remembered that when he took over Lanyuexuan, Boss Hu was the first one to collect debts on a horse, and even ridiculed Lao Song. Song recommends him regardless of previous suspicions, it seems that he is really wholeheartedly for Xue Poye.
Boss Hu was very surprised. Not long ago, Xue Poye just took over Lanyuexuan, which was about to close down. In a short time, he invited himself here to talk about the renovation of the new building, and Boss Hu had already learned from Lao Song that , those are two very imposing high-rise buildings on the edge of the West Lake, so I have great admiration for Xue Poye in my heart, and my voice is quite humble: "The shopkeeper Xue entrusted this matter to me. Decorate the restaurant beautifully."
Xue Poye sipped tea, he was very indifferent to Boss Hu's attitude, and said leisurely: "Boss Hu said this, and Xue's heart was relieved. Boss Hu's decoration skills are well-known in the whole Hangzhou. If you make a move, you will definitely live up to my expectations."
"Shopkeeper Xue has won the prize." Although he is a businessman, but he has been baptized by the strong style of writing in Hangzhou, Boss Hu speaks with a bit of politeness: "To tell the truth, Shopkeeper Xue, the Huiyuan Pavilion of the Lu family was also built by me, and many people still have it. Still praising." He lowered his voice and approached, and said with a soft smile: "But shopkeeper Xue, don't worry, since the tiger has taken action, it will definitely make your restaurant better than his."
Xue Poye heard the meaning of his words, and even vaguely felt that there was going to be competition with the Lu family. From this point of view, in the eyes of outsiders, after the restaurant opened, it was obviously going to be against the Lu family. The Lu family must also know it well.
"Thank you, Boss Hu, for your love." Xue Poye smiled, and changed the topic: "But today, I invite Boss Hu to come over, not only to ask Boss Hu to make a move, but also to have some other discussions."
Lao Song took the initiative to fill the cups of the two with tea, and then continued to sit aside as a listener.
Boss Hu waited for Xue Poye to speak. Xue Poye looked at Boss Hu and said with a smile, "I want Boss Hu to try a new one."
"Try?" Boss Hu was at a loss, and Lao Song was also at a loss.
"Boss Hu has renovated many restaurants, so he must have rich experience, but Xue needs a new layout this time. In other words, Xue opened two new restaurants this time, but the internal layout cannot be equal to the common sense. The restaurant needs a facelift, and a layout that everyone has never seen before, um... It would be incorrect to say that it has never been seen before. What I mean is that, as far as the interior of the restaurant is concerned, it will give everyone a refreshing feeling. "Although Xue Poye tried his best to suppress his emotions, he was still a little excited. In his consciousness and knowledge, he still didn't have the restaurant pattern formed in his mind.
Boss Hu and Lao Song still looked blank. After a while, Boss Hu asked cautiously: "Master Xue is... what did you say?"
Xue Poye smiled wryly, thought for a while, and said: "To be honest, I want to turn the restaurant into a garden, well, the garden is not appropriate, I mean, there are mountains and waters in the restaurant. There are flowers and grass, and there are no tables, chairs and benches. After entering, people will feel like they are in a paradise of mountains, rivers and autumn forests, you...do you understand?"
Boss Hu nodded with half understanding: "You mean that there are mountains, water, flowers, and grass in the restaurant... You mean that the restaurant becomes a garden."
Xue Poye breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "You finally understood."
Boss Hu was silent for a while, then stood up suddenly, clasped his fists and said, "Master Xue, it's not that Lao Hu doesn't want to help you, it's just that Lao Hu doesn't have the ability. You'd better hire someone else, and I'll give you instructions when it's useful in the future." He looked at Xue Poye in surprise, as if he was looking at a lunatic, and wanted to leave.
Xue Poye knew that his idea was considered novel in this era, and it was normal for Boss Hu to be unable to accept it for a while. Seeing that he was about to leave, he was not in a hurry, and sneered, "I thought Boss Hu was in the decoration industry in Hangzhou. Boss, omnipotent, I didn’t dare to make such a small change, it’s really disappointing.”
Boss Hu really stopped, frowned, and looked at Xue Poye as if he was about to explode, but he didn't, and said indifferently: "Master Xue's method is very wonderful, Lao Hu never does things that are not sure, if It's a trivial matter to ruin your own reputation if you make a bad job, but if you delay the work of shopkeeper Xue, you will feel sorry for others."
"Although it's a bit novel, Boss Hu will definitely be able to do it." Xue Poye seemed to be full of confidence in Boss Hu, beckoning: "Boss Hu might as well sit down and listen to Xue's explanation, maybe after this change, Boss Hu's will be satisfied." There is a new breakthrough in the decoration concept.”
Boss Hu saw Xue Poye's gentle smile, thought for a while, went back and sat down, and said, "Tell me about it."
"Boss Hu, don't worry, I've hired Skillful Zhang to make the so-called landscapes, trees, flowers and plants. Boss Hu's duty is to arrange the things made by Skillful Zhang in the restaurant, and make a landscape layout that looks like a quiet and pleasant wilderness." Xue Poye savored the tea with a smile: "Boss Hu has profound decoration skills, he just needs to find a beautiful landscape and take a look, and then scale it... well, then shrink it according to the layout, and put the scenery in the restaurant. It will definitely not be difficult for you."
Hearing Qiaoshou Zhang, Boss Hu was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Xue Poye actually said Qiaoshou Zhang to make a move. Hearing Xue Poye's explanation, he suddenly felt that it was an excellent idea, integrating the landscape into the restaurant, forming a The scenery of the West Lake is outside, and the wonderful layout including the outstanding mountains and rivers is really attractive.
As if seeing the looseness of the old boss Hu, Xue Poye continued: "My idea is very simple. In the future, in my restaurant, there will be no need for a table when dining. We can ask someone to flatten the rock and use it as a table. Guests can Sitting on the ground covered with green grass, surrounded by trees, flowers and plants, everyone can feel the atmosphere of nature, and enjoy the rich dishes and mellow wine very comfortably.”
Although there were many unfamiliar words mixed in his words, Boss Hu and Lao Song finally understood what he meant.
There was a moment of silence, and the originally quiet teahouse became even more quiet.
Xue Poye stood up, walked to the window, felt the slight wind caressing his face, and said leisurely: "This matter has been completed, Boss Hu has contributed a lot, whoever came to my restaurant and saw such a wonderful layout, Everyone will know that it was Boss Hu who renovated it, so Boss Hu's reputation will be greatly shaken, and the business will be better, and the money will come faster."
This temptation is too great. Boss Hu even heard some other meanings from the shopkeeper Xue's words. The meaning seems to indicate that when the project is completed, he will give the credit for the entire idea to himself. If that is the case, his own The decoration business must be famous, and the business will die if it doesn't want to do well. After a short moment of silence, I finally made up my mind and gritted my teeth: "I... I can try!"
"I'll just wait for your words!" Xue Poye laughed and said, "You will definitely do a good job, I am looking forward to our cooperation this time." Picking up the teacup: "Come on, Xue will replace wine with tea, Thank you Boss Hu."
Now that the cooperation relationship has been confirmed, Xue Poye should discuss some detailed ideas with Boss Hu. Boss Hu really deserves to be a clever decorator, and he can easily understand Xue Poye's meaning, and even put forward some ideas of his own. Xue Poye's idea won Xue Poye's heart, so the two discussed the specific details and operation methods at the tea table. the words said.
Speaking later, both of them were very excited. For Boss Hu, this was a very novel and peculiar idea, which he had never tried before. For Xue Poye, it was to turn the idea in his heart into Reality, a layout style that is detached from normal restaurants.
I don't know how long it took until the two of them settled their dispute. Lao Song seemed to understand what the two said, but he insisted on keeping it in his mind. Since the shopkeeper took him so seriously, it was unreasonable. Don't do what he told you to do.
On the way home, Xue Poye was in a very happy mood. On the way, he even explained a lot of details. Lao Song repeatedly said yes, only thinking that the shopkeeper's brain is really easy to use. How did these incredible ideas come up.
Xue Poye's mood has always been very good, even after stepping into Lan Yue Xuan, he was smiling, and when he saw You Shaoqing, the smile disappeared immediately.
You Shaoqing was sitting at the base of the wall in the backyard, leaning against the wall, holding a book in his hand, reading it leisurely, the burden was beside him, but there were not many pears left in it.
Everyone else was busy, but he was reading a book leisurely, Xue Poye was very annoyed.
"You Caizi seems to be very idle." Xue Poye taunted, "As expected, you are a scholar, and you can't leave your baby for a moment."
You Shaoqing laughed, didn't get up, and said: "Scholars are naturally addicted to books. If they pass this time, they will have to take the provincial examination next year."
Xue Poye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, now that he didn't know if he could pass the hospital examination, he was preparing for the rural examination. You Shaoqing liked to plan ahead, rubbed his nose and said mockingly: "You think too far, what if you don't pass this time?"
You Shaoqing put down the book in his hand, looked sad, lowered his head, and didn't speak for a long time.
