Chapter twenty-two, volume increases without price increases

Thinking of this, Commissioner Pang was very worried, then pile up a smile: "Lu Childe, oh no, is Lu Tong Zhu. Canteen food... to tell the truth, it is a little bit bad. But it has been so ah, not only we Liu Shui Zong, five poison door is also, your government canteen is the same Ah. "

"Well, it's a lot easier if you admit it. So you mean it's reasonable because everyone does it? "

"Well, that's not what I meant. Lu Tong, the problem of the cafeteria food is also a problem. I really tried to reform, but it didn't work. "

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the problem is that the wages of the chefs and other staff, like the cost of purchasing food, are all taken from the canteen's profits, right? "

Hear this words, Pang director this just for the first time seriously Lu ran look about, in the mind more sure Lu ran is no longer before the Lu ran.

"You're absolutely right, Lutang, and that's why. It's easy to cook well, but the wages of the staff are lower, and vice versa. So, at least someone has to cook, right? "

The implication is that the food can fill the stomach.

Even before he arrived, however, it was clear that the crux of the problem was not so much the cost of food as the cost of wages, as it was management decisions, or the perception.

Want to raise wages, to reduce costs, resulting in bad food, sell less. They sell less, they make less profit, they keep cutting costs, even wages, which makes them even worse. It's a vicious circle. It's not what it looks like.

What's the problem? Obviously, the first part of the problem!

"Director Pang, just because you can't do anything, doesn't mean you're not responsible. If I ask the Ministry of Commerce to look into your management problems, I'm afraid your position as head of logistics will be lost tomorrow. "

See Pang director black face more black, Lu ran smiled, tap Him on the shoulder: "but you rest assured, we are the people of the water tribe, I do not take it personally. ". Besides, even if we fire you, the cafeteria's not gonna get any better any time soon. I have a proposition for you to consider, and if you try it my way, I promise you three days -- no, tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon at the most -- cadets and instructors will be fighting over who gets to eat in the mess hall, all with extra money for a set meal."

Lu Ran's first half sentence, Pang director is very clear. As the civil affairs director, if the rules and regulations to the Department of Commerce to investigate, then he may indeed lose the position of logistics director. At that time, without his expert management, even if the canteen reform, will not be effective in the short term.

But what does the second part mean? Take your advice and change it in a day? Cadets and instructors fighting over food? And you pay extra for the package? You're not talking about books and stories, are you?

But although the heart does not believe, but there is no other way on the mouth, because Lu ran actually did not give him a choice.

"Master Lu, if you say so, I will do it, I will do it. "

"That is good. " Lu Ran said enthusiastically to link up the Pang director's hand, the manner is gentle: "Come, inside sit, we talk about commission and propaganda

"c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-promotion? "

......

Early the next morning, living in the mountains and rivers of good, outstanding people. The breeze comes slowly, ten thousand red contend for Gaudy.

The students got up and washed in a hurry, and hurried to study and practice in universities or Kyōzō. Instructors and elders later, but still no slight, picked up the prepared lesson plan, to the school grounds, martial arts and schools and other places to teach.

But before that, everyone was in the same place -- the cafeteria. In a place like Liu Shui Zong, the canteen is very convenient. No matter where you go, there will be a canteen within a hundred feet of each other, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper.

At the same time, Lu ran and Xiao Lan, Chai Xiaohu and Pang director and others, are also very busy, even can say very busy. Holding rolls of large canvases in their hands, they are pasting propaganda slogans from window to window, and their behavior has caught the attention of many students and instructors who are having breakfast.

"Look, isn't that Commissioner Pang? What are you pasting? "

"The one next to him is not fu... is not Lu ran? Why is Commissioner Pang working with him? "

"What do you care? Look at the canvas they put up. It's... what the hell, it's a piece of... a piece of meat? "

"Huh? Meat... and Rice. Is this Nyima County the new set menu? "

"... come on, it's a fucking rip-off. Who hasn't had the beef-and-pork Combo? It tastes like pig food and it's fucking expensive!"

"How do you know it tastes like this? Have you tried it? "

"Get out! "

......

In a crowded place, a whisper or two can easily be heard, and then processed to render. And cooperate the action of a finger or two, can develop the effect that expands propaganda more. In a few words, almost all the people in the dining hall who had come for breakfast had seen and heard of the new canvas hanging in the dining room window.

As some students saw it, the new meal was indeed on the canvas. However, compared to the past we have eaten old meat, rotten meat, painted meat color bright, rosy attractive, and the size of the domineering, with the rice is also enough white and tender full. In addition to the traditional rice and meat, the new set meal also adds a lot of tender green crisp leaves and other grain crops, it looks delicious and nutritious.

These are Pang director last night in accordance with Lu ran's requirements, to find senior artists with good paint overnight out, the painting on the food, are taken from the chef's heart to produce the real thing.

In addition to the lifelike paintings, the more dramatic is the huge banner hanging in the central window with the slogan:

"still worried about not eating? Still worried about not being nutritionally healthy? Still worried about eating garbage at a high price? Come on! The Ryu clan canteen will be completely upgraded, using our blood money to raise costs! On the first day of the upgrade, all meals will be super-enhanced without price increases! "!

Now, you can not only eat fresh, tender, meat-based package, but also the original price difference is not big, eat can die, Die, beautiful your soul meat package! Check it out, SOUL MEAT COMBO! Let you even eat, can enhance the spiritual power, promote repair for!

You. What are you waiting for? Come and get it! New Models on the market, two 20% , three 30% ! One to go, the whole class to eat!

With 200 per cent sincerity, we will provide you with 100 per cent happiness!"

I have to say, so avantgarde, exaggerated and seductive words, coupled with the unprecedented fresh flesh picture, people with tasteless steamed bread even out of the saliva.

"Holy Shit, is this real or fake? Is the cafeteria really getting upgraded? "

"Tsk Tsk Tsk, this food, looks even more delicious than my mother's cooking Ah! "

"Well, it's as expensive as a steak-and-pork rice combo, but honestly, I'd love to try it. By the way, when is the new Combo coming out the window? "

"Are you blind? Don't you see the writing on the bottom right corner of the banner? It's not until noon! I'm looking forward to the 'soul meat package' . I don't know what kind of spirit animal meat it will be. If I eat it, will it really be upgraded to... "

"Yeah, I haven't heard that one before. It would be awesome to be promoted to the rank of boss after a meal. "

......

This is the case of a canteen, but also the case of almost all the canteens in Liu Shui Zong. Following Lu ran's instructions, Commissioner Pang hired hundreds of trainees to put up advertisements for publicity.

So, for almost one breakfast time, the entire backwater clan was rumored to be in the dining hall for a big upgrade. Although some people have been cheated for a long time, do not believe that the canteen will really provide such a new package, but in the bottom of my heart or very much look forward to.

After the placard was affixed, Pang pulled Lu ran aside and his face did not look very good.

"Lu, isn't this propaganda a bit exaggerated? Look at the pictures, more meat than rice, and vegetables... This season's vegetables are expensive And flesh is flesh and soul, and that's just enough to cover the cost If we do it, the dining hall will be closed in ten days."

"Ah, Commissioner Pang, don't worry. " Lu ran smiled, confident: "Who says ten days are like this? Haven't you seen my banner? 'The first day of upgrade' , no increase in quantity and price only today to do. "

"Do only today? Lu Childe, where line this? Do only one day that is not to clear the fraud? This is harming me. "

"Hey, Commissioner Pang, why can't you turn the corner? " He said and waved, asking the Commissioner to put his ear to it, whisper softly: "increase, is always to increase, after we have such a rich meal. But the price, tomorrow will have to rise. "

Pang director Leng Leng Leng, suddenly enlightened, understand the Lu ran plan. But on second thought, still a bit puzzled: "tomorrow will start to raise the price, then they do not buy the thing then what to do? "

"No? Commissioner, if it were you, would you like to eat with half a silver pig can not eat rice, or with eight silver to eat a happy? Besides, isn't there a basic package out there? "We will keep the basic package for a long time, with no price increases and no complaints. "

The basic meal is made of plain meat, and is advertised as a significant addition to the meal, which is delicious, yet the price remains the same. This is for the family money is not generally well-off people, it is no doubt that the real benefits. If you can't afford a soul meat meal, you're happy to eat a base meal.

"Don't worry, Commissioner Pang, after you have tasted the luxurious soul meat, everyone will buy the soul meat package except the poor children of the real family. Even if you haven't tasted it today, everyone will buy the expensive one first. "

Lu Ran knew this all too well. What he took advantage of was the competitive spirit of the crowd. Not to mention whether soul meat can really be significantly upgraded to just plain meat in the basic package, soul meat can also become a gimmick, a low-end luxury, so that people come to the dining hall to the maximum spending power to buy.

And for those who can't afford it, the consumer-based meal, while not as satisfying as the rest of us, is at least a lot better than the food we couldn't eat before.
