Chapter 34 Construction (In Progress)
The honest and kind-hearted village chief recited his mobilization statement with a red face. The central idea was nothing more than two words: sponsorship.
Su Luo couldn't bear the word "money" again, and she didn't squat properly, so she fell down. Su came to help her, and Zhou Chongwen and Yun Lang also expressed their concern to varying degrees. Time stopped for 0.01 seconds, and then Su Luo decided to play dead.
When the village chief saw that asking for sponsorship could make people faint, he became a little panicked. He touched his face and hair in a panic. Su Luo glanced at him and felt sorry for him, but the money... If she donated another 250 yuan, her next business would definitely be ruined.
She was depressed, she was struggling, should she wake up? If she opened her eyes now, she would definitely have to take the money.
When Su Luo was in a dilemma, suddenly a warm hand covered her hand and patted it twice as if to comfort her. Then Su Luo saw from the slit of her eyes that Zhou Chongwen stood up, put his arms around the village chief's neck and muttered all the way to the door... He hasn't come back for a long time.
Su Luo waited for a long time, and couldn't bear it any longer, so he jumped up and rushed out the door, accidentally bumping into Zhou Chongwen. Zhou Chongwen actually blushed, touched his face and whispered: "I will accompany uncle back to the village, don't worry about the village."
Su Luo looked around but didn't see the village chief. After asking, he found out that he had left first and Zhou Si followed.
"What are you going to do when you go back?" Su Luo twisted her fingers, "Actually it's not that I don't want to donate..." She felt sad seeing the village chief's expression.
"Don't think about it." Zhou Si's voice was mellow and pleasant to the ear. "Leave this matter to me. I'll see if I can go back and persuade everyone not to look for treasures anymore and live a peaceful life."
Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief, biting her lower lip and nodded, as if she had suffered a great injustice. After all, they were going up the mountain to dig for treasure, why should she pay for it? She also donated 250 taels to the education fund, why!
"Then you must persuade them to come back. If that doesn't work... you can dig again next year. When we make money from the business, I will definitely sponsor us."
Zhou Chongwen suddenly smiled, and his smile was like a spring breeze, warm and intoxicating. He reached out and ruffled the bangs on Su Luo's forehead, "Do your thing." After that, he went in and said goodbye to Su.
Su Luo stood at the door in a daze for a long time, before he came to his senses. After a while, he rubbed his forehead with his hand and shivered violently.
In the following period, Zhou Chongwen returned to the village to participate in the dissuasion work, and Su Luo continued her business plan. She drew several sample pictures of the plaque, selected the one she was most satisfied with, and drew some derivative products, such as work clothes with the store logo, teacups and tea bowls, and other visual identification system pictures, which were conducive to shaping the corporate image and expressing the corporate philosophy.
After these preparations were made, Su Luo took Yun Lang to stroll around the streets, looking for new shops and asking around to find decoration teams. After asking around, Su Luo selected two teams that made windows, chairs, and wood paint. They were all well-rounded, and they were all family teams, so there was no need to worry about not being able to find anyone if problems arose. He gathered representatives of the two decoration teams together and took them to see his store. Su Luo decided to use a bidding method, and the lowest bidder would win if the materials were the same.
After explaining his philosophy, Su Luo let the two representatives go back to make a budget. However, he did not dare to relax and immediately went to find the eight retail investors he had hired to sing the songs and asked them if they were willing to become full-time employees.
After a period of publicity, her golden song offensive was quite effective. Throughout Zhuxian Town, people could be heard humming little songs everywhere. Even she herself could sing the Henan Bangzi "Brother Liu's Talk~Li~Taipian" after two days of being influenced by the streets.
Su Luo was very satisfied with this.
Those retail investors naturally want to live a more stable life, but they cannot understand the task that Su Luo assigned to them. Yun Lang also has the same doubts about this. Su Luo just smiled and pretended to be mysterious, saying that I can't explain it clearly to you now, but you will understand it after the decoration is completed.
The inn quickly vacated the space and took down the sign, waiting for the decoration team to move in. The competition among the decoration teams was fierce. Su Luo's bottom line was 400 taels, but one company offered 250 taels, which made Su Luo feel that he was engaging in unfair competition. She wanted to get as cheap as possible, but it was so cheap that even a fool would know there must be something wrong. Is Su Luo a fool? Who dares to say it was her?
So Su Luo, who didn't want to be a fool, signed a contract with another company that offered 380 taels of silver, and instructed them to complete the project within one month.
In fact, ordinary restaurants and inns would not need so much money to renovate, but Su Luo’s requirements were special and the construction was difficult.
Two days later, Yunlang asked again. He pointed at the wooden shelves that were nailed all over the original guest room and asked a million questions.
In fact, Su Luo's idea is very simple. He builds another wall inside the original wall, and fills the hollow part with cork, sawdust and cotton to soundproof. Although there is no microphone now, Su Luo believes that some people can speak louder without a microphone than with one.
Su Luo also plans to add a small partition in each room, with a back door for easy access, but not in direct contact with consumers. It is a space for the accompaniment band. Everyone wants to save face, and they would be embarrassed to sing loudly in front of strangers, so this partition was created. On the partition board of the partition is Su Luo's most proud invention - an automatic karaoke system.
Dozens of square holes were dug on the two-inch thick partition board, which was padded with cowhide and stuffed with four-inch thick wooden plugs. The wooden plugs were numbered and the karaoke singers could press the corresponding numbers according to the song list. The accompaniment band in the compartment would play the corresponding song when they saw which wooden plug was poked in. A button for real-person accompaniment was also derived from this. After all, the individual accompaniment investors invited by Su Luo were all in the "play and sing" mode, and the singers could not be left out in the cold.
In addition, Su Luo has also developed different types of private rooms according to different customer groups, such as large gathering rooms, elegant rooms equipped with music, chess, calligraphy and painting, bold rooms with double-layer sound insulation systems, and children's rooms for cultivating future customers.
On the fifth day after the engineering team moved in, the first model room was finished. Although it had not been equipped with partitions yet, Su Ge was very satisfied with the sound insulation effect and asked the decoration team to do it according to this one. Yun Lang also came to inspect it, but he racked his brains and couldn't figure out what this meant.
"The windows are blocked, what are you looking at in the dark?"
"This is exactly the effect we want." Su Luo lit two candles. "This way, we don't have to worry about singing badly, and our blushing won't be noticeable."
Yun Lang still frowned, "How do we sing this? Just stand and sing?"
" Of course not." Su Luo gestured inside, "We need to put a couch here, and two chairs, build a small platform opposite, put a stand and a speaker, and sing on the platform."
"Trumpet?" Yun Lang began to scratch his head again, "I can't play that thing without confidence, why not play a pipa or something."
Su Luo resisted the urge to roll his eyes, put his hands together at his lips, and made a shouting motion, "This is it, a loudspeaker." After saying that, he scratched his chin, stood on the imaginary stage and thought for a while, "I also need to add a lyrics book, so that it will be easier to sing."
Yun Lang pursed his lips and crossed his chest, still pondering Su Luo's idea. Su Luo stretched and walked out of the private room. When he returned to the lobby, he was surprised to see Zhou Chongwen standing there. He asked in surprise, "When did you come back?"
"I just came back and came to take a look."
"How is the village? Have they been persuaded?" Su Luo was quite worried about this issue.
"Don't worry, they won't have any problems for the time being."
Su Luo was just wondering what the "temporary" problem was. Zhou Chongwen looked around and asked, "What do you want to change it to?"
Su Luo stopped thinking about other things and pointed upstairs with a smile, "A model room has just been built upstairs, why don't you go... eh?" The smile on Su Luo's face slowly faded, and she pointed behind Zhou Chongwen, "They... all came with you?"
