Chapter 318: Going to Work? No advertising
Why does foreign fast food such as McDonald's seem particularly cheap abroad and expensive at home? Does this involve price discrimination? Many foreign fast food is just a roadside snack, and it has become a mid-to-high-end consumption place in China, and many people may think that this is not scientific, but in fact it has its reason.
In foreign countries, fast food restaurants are generally built on the side of the highway and serve drivers, so they are also called "drive-in restaurants". The drivers passed through the three windows of the restaurant in turn, ordered, 'paid' the money, and received the fast food, and in less than three minutes, they were able to continue on the road immediately. In Europe and the United States, this situation is already a part of people's daily life.
Domestically, fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's have not fully opened up the Chinese market, and they face many challenges, such as the counterattack of the local restaurant industry, such as the entry of foreign restaurant chains. So, they need advertising. Metro media, newspapers, television...... Foreign fast food is bombarded with an overwhelming form of propaganda. Not only that, but they also distribute coupons to the public, which also invisibly serves as an advertisement. However, advertising is to 'spend' money, so this separate sale can only make consumers pay, resulting in an increase in the price of McDonald's catering. In other words, when foreign fast food can be as unadvertised like Shaxian snacks and Lanzhou ramen, its catering prices will drop to an acceptable level. At that point, I am afraid that foreign fast food can no longer be called "foreign", because it has been with the Chinese nation. Well, if you regard "McDonald's" as a person surnamed Mai who prescribes it similar to "Huang Zhenlong" and "Deng Lao Herbal Tea", will you feel inexplicably reasonable?
By the way, in prime locations in first-tier cities in China, the prices of McDonald's and KFC are quite favorable.

Tuesday.
Little Bee Express closed its office this morning because today is the day of the office location.
Lucy pushed the box onto the moving company's truck, turned to look at the place where she had worked for several years, and sighed: "I used to think that the place was small, but now I am a little reluctant." β
Todd muttered as he walked aside: "'Female' person! β
Desks and chairs are sold to thrift companies, while bits and pieces such as telephones and lamps are removed and used in new locations. Colleagues drove the car and walked forward on the road to a brand new home. The new office is located in the heart of Cambridge City, which can radiate more efficiently than the previous address, which is of great significance for saving labor and fuel costs. It also has its own underground parking lot, which has several parking spaces for colleagues in addition to motorcycles for work.
The company is located on the second floor. Although according to President Qi's statement, the higher the office location, the better, but the operator team leader still chose a relatively low floor from the actual situation, after all, it will be more convenient for the courier to enter and exit. Push open the shiny glass 'door', first see a brown 'color' wooden wall with the large logo of Little Bee Express, the brown 'color' and yellow 'color' are quite warm, this is the front desk: turn the front desk, you can see the brown and yellow 'color' with glass office partition, the partition can be freely spliced, and it is also equipped with an integrated curved edge desk and a swivel chair with a backrest and armrests; the office floor is also covered with a blue and gray 'color' striped carpet, so that the whole office is not too inclined to warm 'color' tones; the wall is painted with honey yellow' Even if the blinds of all the floor-to-ceiling windows are opened, the indoor light will not appear too harsh. Because the wind passes through the wall, and there are crops such as monstera and iron fern that can purify the air, the unique smell of the decoration materials is not heavy.
"You're in good taste!" Todd stood and watched for a moment, then said to the receptionist leader.
"I want this table!" 'Lucy' reacted, and immediately went to a desk by the window, and quickly arranged her personal belongings. She sat in a swivel chair and spun around like a child: "It's so big! Now you never touch the papers on the table behind you when you stretch! β
It was not only the new dΓ©cor that was pleasantly surprised, but also the brand new beverage machine. In addition to the original coffee, 'milk' tea and other beverages, this machine also has the result of strong requests from male colleagues such as Coke and Soda Todd, which can be called perfect. However, Todd also complained about "why there is no beer".
"What is this?" The colleague curiously pointed to the paper bag next to the drink machine
"Oh, that's the Chinese tea I bought from Chinatown." Qingyi replied
In addition, there is a separate bathroom in the office, so there is no need to share the toilet on this floor with other companies. What's even more 'great' for the male compatriots is that a small 'smoking' area has been set up in the corner of the office, so that they can swallow the fog to their heart's content without suffering from the eyes of their 'female' colleagues. Next to the 'smoking' area, there is a row of comfortable sofas, perfect for the couriers who come back to rest and sit and chat.
Qingyi picked up a bottle of fire extinguisher from the corner of the wall: "Hey, 'women' gentlemen, look here, here is a fire extinguisher, dry powder, people who don't know how to use it will look for me, and the fire escape-hey, don't you listen to me!" Believe it or not, I'll arrest you for on-the-job training! He was really helpless, because everyone was busy setting up the table, and few paid attention to him.
Everyone is happy with the new office because it basically follows their recommendations. In addition to the physical and mental pleasure, employees also have the valuable experience of being "respected", which is a kind of "humane" treatment that is not available in other companies. Adopting the opinions of employees can better build the company's internal environment and increase team cohesion, so these 'spending' are very worthwhile.
And for companies, it's also very helpful to take employee advice to prevent managers from making stupid decisions. Qingyi had advertised for Little Bee Express in the newspaper before, and it felt very good, but some employees expressed different opinions: advertising would only increase operating costs, and judging from the historical status of Little Bee Express in Cambridge City, it actually did not need to rely on advertising. Qingyi thinks this suggestion is very reasonable, because warehouse supermarkets like Wal-Mart take the people-friendly route, and they don't rely on advertising at all, but only rely on word-of-mouth won from the customer base to make a lot of money. Since he has signed a pricing agreement with Curry Curry and Xinglong Express, Qingyi should pay more attention to compressing operating costs, otherwise the funds will not be enough to support his desire to become bigger and stronger.
Thinking like this, Qingyi walked into his office room and closed the frosted glass 'door'. In the whole premises, he was the only one who had a single room and the cashier shared a single room, so he felt very good. Just wait until tomorrow when the network cable is installed, and he will be able to play "Qiankun" in the office.

"Good morning!"
After Qingyi went online, he said hello to the disease-free moan.
The great god glared: "It's still early?" It's all 11~~~ now! Are you constipated? β
"No, I'll go to the company to deal with some things." Qingyi can see that the great god is on the verge of breaking out at any time. "Don't you have anything to do? You don't have a job? β
"That's mine*." The innocent moaned and replied.
Qingyi hurriedly replied: "I'm sorry." β
Everyone has *, and the great god is certainly no exception. Of course, players will be curious about the true identity of the great god, but so far, no great god's identity has been made public in the world, and there are only uncertain rumors. Qingyi knew that the black and white binary was defending the other gods with all its might, so much so that now the White House does not have a comprehensive grasp of the information about the gods.
Afraid of further provoking the unhappiness of moaning and moaning, Qingyi ordered the coachman to set off.
On the way, I met a few hunter NPCs, and after asking for directions, Innocent Moaned and erased their memories with magic. Because of the special selection of non-leveling areas to take away, and there are thaumaturgists with endless means sitting in the car, no player has recognized their identities along the way. However, Qingyi had already learned from the forum that Sara 'Monroe' was no longer safe, so he was not careless and paid great attention to every little detail.
So he was suspicious of Oskol again. He couldn't help but wonder if Oskol had provided more information, and some of the big wars wouldn't have been so ugly lost. Did Oskol do his best? Maybe, but who can vouch for it? That guy has always had a reservation! Even Chief Jont, who was half of Oscol's acquaintance, was quite dissatisfied with him, because Oscol seemed to have something to do with some forces during his lifetime, and the file was not clean.
However, Qingyi vaguely felt that Oskol could be trusted, although this idea was unfounded. Qingyi has nine points of trust and one point of doubt about Oskol, and his continued walking on this route is the best proof of this.
So, what about the other subordinates?
There have been many necromantic kings in history who have been betrayed by hero-level subordinates. Every hero is arrogant and independent, and necromantic heroes are no exception, and while they will honor the king, they also want to replace him at any time. However, Skaul is an exception, although he has been promoted to the hero level and is honest and unkind to Qingyi, but this unceremonious attitude makes Qingyi feel very kind. People who have 'sexual' weaknesses are more authentic and more trustworthy.
Grande is also heroic, although Qingyi once doubted it, but it confirmed his heart with his actions. Unless someone is pretending to be Qingyi, there is no need to worry about Grande's loyalty at all. On the other hand, Frankie's current behavior is still blameless, but Qingyi needs to 'spend' some time to overcome the psychological 'yin' shadow, otherwise he won't be able to get along with this subordinate well.
In the end, in addition to being suspicious of Oskol, Qingyi is also reluctant to trust Brian. It was a feeling of uncertainty that could not be explained...... Seriously, he is always a little unnatural when getting along with this subordinate, because even if the other party uses honorific titles, he is faintly soft and hard, and seems to dominate the necromancy? The majesty of the king is just an ornament. Of course, Qingyi doesn't ask the other party to swear allegiance to him, but he can't always look like "I'll fire you squid at any time", right? Isn't it time to be completely loyal after signing the soul contract?
Qingyi looked out the window and muttered: "Although this sentence seems to be incompetent, but ...... Old immortal, if you are still alive, it would be nice to help me as a staff officer. β
"What did you say, Dad?" Annigier asked.
"Ah, nothing. You see, there's a zombie flying! β
"Where, where?!"
