Floating Perfume Shop

Chapter 64

For a long time, the outside world has scolded Zhou Tianhao, saying that he seized power and was ungrateful, saying that when Zhao Wenbin lured him back from France with a high salary, he actually repayed the kindness of knowing him like this, which is simply unheard of.Unexpectedly, Zhou Tianhao didn't refute a single word, and even the navy didn't bother to spend money to hire him. When he was asked in front of his eyes, he just replied lightly: "Businessmen talk about business. Every day I worked in Lotus, I am worthy of President Zhao giving me my salary."

This kind of negative evaluation has gradually turned into praise, because Lotus has indeed developed better than when Zhao Wenbin was in power.With a series of simplification of administration, decentralization of power and personnel adjustment, the company's benefits have been significantly improved.Among the new autumn products that were launched not long ago, Lotus brought out the perfumes that were originally rejected but did not pass the internal review meeting, a "Bailu" and a "Tingsong", both of which won awards at the professional review meeting. "Bailu" is a floral fragrance, and "Tingsong" is a woody fragrance, and the aroma of the latter pine wood is pressed just right.

People say that Zhou Tianhao finally found the opportunity to make the improvement he wanted to make for many years, and he did it very successfully - this must be based on the accurate prediction of the industry's wind direction and a thorough understanding of the company's situation.Business is inherently the law of the jungle, and playing chess within the scope of the rules should not be condemned morally.Besides, the better Lotus develops, the more dividends Zhao Wenbin, as the majority shareholder, will get, which is not a bad thing for him.However, in the face of these belated praises, Zhou Tianhao never showed much joy.

In fact, he was so depressed that during his break at noon, Su Lan approached him with a collection of jokes and read it to him: "The ungrateful and treacherous Mr. Zhou, what thread do orangutans hate the most?"

"Parallel lines." Zhou Tianhao said, "There are no bananas in parallel lines."

"Which one is the most beautiful, sunflower, jasmine or chrysanthemum?"

"Jasmine." Zhou Tianhao took the book, opened it, and found Wang Xiaofeng's name impressively written on it, and threw the book back, "What a beautiful jasmine."

There was a newspaper in the book, he opened it, and Su Lan pointed to one of the reports: "Speaking of which, do you know these companies? It is said that the company is a little bigger, just a few small studios of Internet celebrities, and they are also Taking the route of 'Chinese Fragrance'. Of course, there is no competition with Lotus now, should we suppress it now?"

"No need." Zhou Tianhao shook his head, "Someone once said that this road is only wide when there are more people walking on it. The wider the road, the farther you can go."

Su Lan reminded him: "Tigers are a danger."

Zhou Tianhao nodded, and gave him a meaningful look: "Tigers are a problem."

Chief Engineer Su was puzzled.He actually came to ask for leave.Su Lan explained that he wanted to take advantage of the recent free time, take off his annual leave, and go to Daxing'an Mountains to collect wind and see if there were any traditional herbs and herbs there that could be used as spices.

Zhou Tianhao asked: "Didn't you say that Europe is the birthplace of perfume?"

"You come to the stage, there must be another new world for Chinese incense. Besides, the azaleas that make spices in Daxing'anling have always been of good quality."

"Azaleas bloom in spring and summer. Su Lan," Zhou Tianhao raised his eyelids, "as long as your formula can be handed in on time, I don't care where you and Wang Xiaofeng go for honeymoon, but can you tell the truth? Your intern's leave note is here. It was handed in in the morning, and it was about going skiing in Daxinganling with Chief Engineer Su, and I also asked the personnel to introduce cheap hotels."

Su Lan threw the leave slip on the table: "Are you sure you are going to leave?!"

Zhou Tianhao bowed his head and signed the leave note: "Oh, the personnel department said that he booked a single room for you."

Su Lan took the note, and felt that the three words "Zhou Tianhao" were completed in one stroke, elegant and handsome, and really not like the fluffy person who asked for leave just now.He was thinking about two big men going on a trip, and there was no need to avoid suspicion. What's wrong with booking a room to save money, when he went out, he saw Wang Xiaofeng waiting for him in the corridor holding his mobile phone with a happy face.

Wang Xiaofeng showed Su Lan the confirmation text message sent by the hotel: "Mr. Su, I have snatched the only deluxe single room with double bed!"

Su Lan put her hands in her sleeves and walked forward: "Very good."

"Internal price, [-]% off!"

"Promising." Su Lan took two steps, then suddenly turned around, "Did you book a big bed room?"

"correct."

"We share a bed?"

"That's right," Wang Xiaofeng said happily, "The hotel says it's peak season, and there's only one big bed room left for honeymoon couples. We're lucky!"

He rushed back to his laboratory like the wind: "The deposit is non-refundable!"

After thinking about it, Su Lan felt that there should be no problem for two men, and she was still an elder, to sleep in the same bed when traveling, so she packed up her things and left without any precaution.

After Su Lan left, Zhou Tianhao felt extremely lonely.Except that sister Emma brings him a cup of unsweetened coffee on time every day, just read reports, approve documents, hold meetings, make decisions, inspect, criticize subordinates, and distribute money.He began to gradually understand Zhao Wenbin's habit of throwing cups and stools at everything in the past, but he saw things more thoroughly than Zhao Wenbin, and he knew how to restrain his emotions better.Before the personnel change, many things were shared by him and Zhao Wenbin, but now it all falls on one person, and it is a lie to say that he is not tired.

In the initial stage of the reform, there were indeed various difficulties, which he had already anticipated.It's just that he wanted to turn this place into an ideal safe haven for one person, so it was worth the hard work.Now that he was gone and he was left alone, Zhou Tianhao suddenly felt that the hard work during this period was meaningless.

He reopened the newspaper that Su Lan left before he left, searched around, and finally found a name.

"Afterlife."

It is indeed as Su Lan said, this is a very small perfume studio, too small to enter a shopping mall, so it can only start from a Taobao shop, and it has to be painstakingly advertised.He has been staring at this studio for a long time, and has been thinking of visiting him, but he has no chance.He originally called, but when the other party saw that it was Lotus's landline, he hung up immediately.

It seems that they don't want to meet each other, Zhou Tianhao thought.

Going on for a long time is not an option, he thought about it, turned on the computer, clicked into the Taobao store of "Laisheng Perfume Studio", randomly took a set of the most expensive flagship new perfume, and then clicked on Want Want customer service.

Zhou Tianhao: "Where is your address? I want to pick up the goods."

Customer Service A: "Door pick-up is not supported."

Zhou Tianhao: "Why don't you support it? Huh? Call your boss, the one surnamed Zhang."

Customer Service A: "He's busy, he's on a business trip right now."

Zhou Tianhao: "Where are you going?"

Customer service A: "Supermarket, buy cooking oil."

Zhou Tianhao almost wanted to crush the mouse: "Where's your boss named Xiao? Yes, I'm looking for you Mr. Xiao."

Customer Service A: "There is no boss named Xiao."

Zhou Tianhao: "Your service attitude is too bad, I want a refund, bad review! Don't let your boss come, I will refund immediately."

The system prompts: "Di, your transaction has been closed. Di, the refund was successful."

Zhou Tianhao stared at the chat window of the online shopping customer service, feeling a little powerless suddenly.He clicked on the seller's information, and found that the registered place of the store was in a small, remote city with inconvenient transportation and no airport.However, in Taobao stores now, it is very common for the registration address to be different from the production and delivery addresses. The ghost knows if the senior just looked at the map and marked it casually.

The phone rang suddenly, but Zhou Tianhao picked it up without looking at it.

It's Zhang Wenshan.

During this period of time, the business between Yashe and Lotus has been engaged in a real round, and the tension is unimaginable.The attitude shown by Zhang Wenshan is that Yashe is not short of money.From new product wars to price wars, and even public opinion campaigns and smears, Yashe's public relations department has a complete set, which can be said to be disrespectful.Even before Zhou Tianhao took advantage of the board of directors and was reviled and made a target, it was inevitable that they would push the boat along.

But Zhang Wenshan would call from time to time.

These calls, like this one, were not to him, but were relayed: "How is Brother She?"

"It's damp in autumn, let him wear more clothes."

"Winter is approaching, and the climate in Nanyang is warm. I asked him if he wanted to go home and have a look?"

Once Zhang Wenshan seemed to be drinking, and when he called, he lost his composure.Zhou Tianhao picked it up, only to hear him repeating that he asked Xiao Chongyun to answer the phone.I know he's here with you, put him on the phone.Why doesn't he answer my phone?

Zhou Tianhao said that Senior Xiao didn't want to answer the phone.Zhang Wenshan suddenly opened his mouth and scolded, saying that Xiao Chongyun is a liar, he lied to me back then, and sooner or later he would stab you.The more affectionate and sweet talk I have for you now, the more painful the knife will be in the future.

Zhou Tianhao then asked: "Mr. Zhang, since you said my senior is so hateful, why do you still beg him to go back?"

Zhang Wenshan suddenly fell silent, and then hung up the phone.

This time, Zhou Tianhao picked it up, but Zhang Wenshan asked him directly: "Has anyone looked for Chongyun recently?"

"Yes." Zhou Tianhao replied indifferently, "You don't ask me for someone every day."

Zhang Wenshan asked: "Has anyone approached him to buy the formula of circulating incense?"

He really didn't know about it.

This incense prescription has always been in the hands of Xiao Chongyun, but because its academic value is greater than its commercial value, it has not caused much controversy.Since the death of the illustrious female perfumer and her mentor, the formula has not even attracted the attention of the world that it once did.Zhou Tianhao couldn't think of anyone who would disturb Xiao Chongyun for this.

"Tell him," Zhang Wenshan whispered on the other end of the phone, "if you don't want to sell it, don't sell it."

In the small studio, there is a sign called "Laisheng" at the door, and a line of small characters below it reads "College Student Entrepreneurship Incubation Project".The studio is located on the third floor of a residential building, close to the subway station, with convenient transportation, but small.There are only three for work, two for office work, and one for reception.The innermost small room is for the perfumer. The equipment is all shipped from Chengdu. It is rusty and outdated, but it is better than usable.

Xiao Chongyun was cooking in the kitchen: "The oil is almost gone, can today's broccoli be boiled?"

Zhang Song sat in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard expressionlessly: "OK."

"Mr. Zhang, how is the store doing today?"

"The most expensive one sold a set."

Xiao Chongyun was feeling relieved, the kid stood up: "The other party wants to pick up the goods, I refunded."

Xiao Chongyun thought it would be good to pick up the goods at the door, and it happened to let the guests visit the site. Zhang Song had already walked to the door and held the doorknob: "I'm going to the supermarket to buy oil."

After returning from Paris, the kid was really lucky, and there was an extra 20 in the account, which is said to be a loan from the government.Xiao Chongyun led him to build this studio, planning to start the brand from online sales.Before he graduated, he also planned to use a government loan to return to China to set up his own company, and he had some plans in this regard.It's just that the current environment and the rules and regulations in all aspects are different from those when he graduated.

For example, at the beginning, he planned to go to the market one by one with samples, starting from the temporary small counters in shopping malls and subway stations, to promote the brand, but now, he only needs to open a Taobao store and spend a certain amount of publicity funds to play a role. effective.In the current studio, the finances are outsourced, except for him and Zhang Song, who are also the front desk.Because the perfume is selling well recently, it happens to be two more assistants.

The kid actually did a good job, Xiao Chongyun thought, going out to discuss business with a paralyzed face, unexpectedly bluffing people.

At this time, the girl at the front desk had already returned home from get off work, and Zhang Song went to the supermarket to buy oil again.Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Xiao Chongyun thought it was probably the property owner who came to urge the property fee, so he went to open the door with a spatula.

As soon as the door opened, the smile faded.

Zhou Tianhao leaned against the wall opposite the corridor, and when he saw the door open, he stepped over and put his foot on the door, and the door couldn't be closed.

"Does your little pet think that if you don't answer my phone calls, set the studio address in a county that doesn't shit, and then block my Wangwang ID, I won't be able to find you?" Zhou Tianhao blocked the door, "Senior Xiao, I'm here to pick up the goods."

"Before you left, I said that I would like to be your knife."

"Look at your office environment. A new company must lack a lot of things to start. You abandoned me for the third time, and I am still willing to do business with you." He walked in two steps, looked around at the second-hand desks and printers, and He leaned over and sniffed the brilliantly blooming cornflowers by the window, "My condition is the same as that night, it won't change, and you can bloom as you please."
