Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 23 Cafe Promotion

Although Asami Ishita is now like a stick lit by a fire and has a fever 24 hours a day, when the cafe opened at 10:30 on time, she quickly got into business mode, put on a brown uniform, and surrounded herself. Put on a black apron and wait behind the bar for work to begin.

"Jasmine", this is the name given to this cafe by Asami Inoshita. After completing 95% of the decoration, the simple and warm decoration in the Jasmine Cafe gives people a sense of comfort. Several hangings are hung on the walls of the store. Under the light yellow light, the abstract painting looks bright and eye-catching. Green plants are dotted in the corners, and the fresh breath is coming.

Sunlight shines in through the glass wall, casting a warm yellow light and shadow in the cafe, which can make customers sitting in front of the window more happy. Wind chimes are hung at the entrance. Whenever someone opens the door and comes in, a quiet melody will play softly. The soft sound makes people feel calm, and also notifies Fujiwara Masato that a guest has come in.

Judging from Masato Fujiwara's limited vision, the decoration of the Jasmine Cafe is already very perfect. Comparing the Fujiwara Cafe opened by Anaka Umeko with the Jasmine Cafe is like a sparrow competing with a swan, although some people may prefer it. The former, but in terms of overall style comparison, Fujiwara Masato must admit that the latter is better and more beautiful.

However, it was a pity that on the first day after Jasmine opened, Fujiwara Masato sat in front of the cafe bar and looked at the door, acting as a "visitor stone", looking out of the cafe all day long until five o'clock in the afternoon. During the time, not a single customer came in to spend.

Catching fish is indeed very happy, but there were fish to touch on the first day the cafe opened. Masato Fujiwara was really afraid that he would not be able to keep this job for a long time, so after get off work in the afternoon, Masato Fujiwara ate two sandwiches. After filling his stomach haphazardly, Fujiwara Masato found Asami Inoshita who was washing the pans in the kitchen.

"Oh, Masato-kun, can't you bear it?"

"No, boss, I came here to see you because of the coffee shop business." Fujiwara Masato ignored Asami Inoshita's teasing and invitation, and he said to the latter sincerely.

"The opening of Jasmine Cafe is too hasty. I think we can advertise and promote the cafe so that customers will come here to spend money."

"Masato-kun, do you have any suggestions?" Asami Inoshita put down the pan in her hand. She also felt that it was unlucky not to have a single customer come in on the first day of opening. Although she had a follow-up publicity plan, she would like to ask Masato Fujiwara now. There is nothing wrong with my opinion... If it doesn't work out, just think of it as teasing the little boy.

"I think we can print some small flyers and distribute them." Fujiwara Masato proposed a publicity method that may not be very creative, but will not be very costly.

"No, Masato-kun." Inoshita Asami shook her head and rejected his proposal.

"The neighborhood where the cafe is located has very strict health management. We distribute leaflets to pedestrians. Once pedestrians throw the leaflets on the ground after reading them, Japanese police will take photos of the leaflets and then come over with evidence. The café was fined under the (Misdemeanor Offenses Act).”

Ah, is there such a thing?
  Fujiwara Masato scratched his head. He had never expected such a thing. People often distributed leaflets near Mingming's home. The now-defunct Oshima Lending Company also looked for high school students working part-time to distribute flyers, but he did not expect Jasmine Coffee. The hall cannot learn to do it.

"This is a commercial area where company offices are concentrated, and health management is relatively strict." Asami Inoshita explained.

"If we can't distribute flyers, can we use social media platforms for publicity?" Masato Fujiwara came up with another idea when his plan failed, and he came up with the idea of ​​using the Internet.

“In addition, we also create some coupons and distribute them to white-collar workers in nearby office buildings when they are at work, or simply send them to the front desk of their company so that they can come and spend during their lunch break. .”

Asami Inoshita smiled slightly at Masato Fujiwara.

"This is actually my idea. I plan to let you put on the uniforms of baristas and waiters to make coffee and pastries tomorrow. Then I will shoot them with a camera, and then make them into various exquisite coffee pictures and videos and send them to some On the website, it attracts the attention and likes of nearby female office workers, which in turn makes them want to come and make purchases.

As for the second thought... Masato-kun, would you like to help me take a walk tomorrow? "As she spoke, Asami Inoshita put her fingers on her lips, her eyes blinked, and the charm inside them almost turned into water and flowed out.

At this time, can Fujiwara Masato refuse?

the answer is negative.

"Uh...well, I can take the coupon and go for a walk..."

Of course, after agreeing, this did not prevent Masato Fujiwara from regretting one after another.

Fujiwara Masato, Fujiwara Masato, how can your willpower be so weak? How can you be so unmanly? Why does your heart soften when a beautiful woman begs like this, while your second brother hardens?

You're not living up to expectations, Fujiwara Masato!

Regret is regret, since he has agreed, Fujiwara Masato is also prepared to do it.

"Boss, can I get the discount coupon tomorrow?" Masato Fujiwara asked, and Asami Inoshita suddenly looked embarrassed.

"It shouldn't be possible. I have something to do tonight. I can't spare the time to do it myself. I don't know any relevant friends... Masato-kun, can you help me share the work?"

"I'm trying to design a coupon. I have learned this knowledge." Fujiwara Masato said. He actually has no problem with this matter. When he was still Chinese, he studied computers and did work such as advertising photo editing. , he has done it before, I can’t say that he can handle it with his hands, he can be considered familiar with it.

In addition, although this was overtime work without overtime pay, considering the "hard work" of the boss last night, Fujiwara Masato decided to work overtime to complete the job.

There is just one problem that Fujiwara Masato cannot solve now.

"It's just that I don't have a computer, I..."

"I have a laptop here, let me lend it to you first." Asami Inoshita said with a smile.

OK, now that we have the tools, Masato Fujiwara happens to be free tonight and is not "squeezed" by the boss, so go home from get off work so that the job of a cafe waiter with a monthly salary of 250,000 yen can be continued for a long time. Going down, Fujiwara Masato decided to show off his strength.

After get off work, Masato Fujiwara no longer needs to take the bus to go home. Asami Inoshita will drive him back first, and then she will drive home. Fujiwara Masato couldn't say whether his boss's approach was good or bad, but he didn't need to take the bus by himself, and it did save a lot of trouble. So after thinking about it, he decided not to refuse Asami Inoshita's kindness... That's it. While riding in the car, you have to pay attention to the harassment from next door, which is quite annoying.

After returning home, Masato Fujiwara took a simple shower, opened the Apple notebook he borrowed from Asami Inoshita, and started working.

In fact, it is not troublesome for Fujiwara Masato to make a coupon. Since the name of the cafe is Jasmine, and the decoration of the store is mainly made of light and elegant wood, then the front of the coupon is the refined picture of jasmine hanging on the store door photo, and then Then write the amount represented by the coupon, and on the back is the cafe's store address, instructions for using the coupon, and the limited time.

After doing a few random things, he communicated with Asami Inoshita through communication software. After getting her opinions, Fujiwara Masato designed several coupons of different amounts that can be used for discounts on coffee and pastries, and the matter was almost done. , you only need to wait until you get to work tomorrow to find a printing shop to print out the coupons, and then you can put them to use.

Coffee shop coupons do not need to be overly elaborate in anti-counterfeiting design. You only need to leave a string of numbers on the back of the coupon and record it on the computer. There are only about a hundred coupons and they are recorded manually. can prevent imitation.

Things settled, go to sleep... Oh, by the way, Fujiwara Masato remembered something before going to bed, so he quickly got up and released Huang Mao, giving him five thousand yen as usual.

"It's jungle time. You can go out for a walk tonight." After saying that, Fujiwara Masato waved Huang Mao away.

Currently, there are three subordinates under Fujiwara Masato, and only Huangmao is suitable to go out alone. The intelligence of Giyu No. 1 and Ax Ren is still relatively rigid and rigid, especially the former. As a semi-professional soldier, he is the first to encounter things. The first reaction is often to draw a gun. Before the IQ is upgraded, it is completely impossible to go out alone to roam the jungle.

As for the upgrade issue, Fujiwara Masato cannot upgrade the two of them now. Upgrading requires two things, one is a sword, which he has, and the other is experience points. The experience points can currently only be obtained from the system's mission rewards. , there is no experience value in pure killing, this is what Fujiwara Masato discovered after having three people from Oshima Lending Company killed.

So, let's wait a little and let Huang Mao go out on his own.

Silent all night.

At 7:30 the next morning, Fujiwara Masato's biological clock woke him up. After getting up, brushing his teeth and washing his face, he opened the system warehouse and took a look... Well, there was no gain.

I opened the character log of the system and looked at Huang Mao's itinerary last night. I found that he wandered around Tokyo's Shibuya District all night, and then chatted with several people for more than two hours. Because the records in the character log only record the general situation. There is no detailed process, so Masato Fujiwara clicked to recruit Huang Mao and asked.

"What did you do in Shibuya last night?"

"I met a few local gangsters and tried to figure out how to make money through them... Then I met a retailer who sold infantry Liu Bei films.

In addition, the cost of this operation is 1,200 yen, which is the remaining activity funds. "

This is the only good thing about NPC employees. He doesn’t know what corruption is. He spends as much money as he wants. In addition, he spent 1,200 yen to get to know a gangster who sells horseless movies. Masato Fujiwara instantly I don’t know if this is a useful gain.

You say it is useless, what if Masato Fujiwara wants to watch pornographic movies sometimes? If you say it is useful, let alone Fujiwara Masato's handsome appearance, if he really wants to feel good, he can just go to Asami Inoshita directly, there is no need to bother the fifth girl.

"Ding dong..."

Speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao's arrival, Masato Fujiwara had just thought of Asami Inoshita when the doorbell rang. When he opened the system map and looked at it, he found that the person outside the door was his boss.

"You go back first." Fujiwara Masato waved Huang Mao to retreat first, and then walked to open the door.

Just like yesterday morning, today Asami Inoshita was waiting outside the door with a thermos box.

"Masato-kun, breakfast!"

The process of eating breakfast does not need to be described too much. Fujiwara Masato ate the Japanese breakfast brought by Inoshita Asami, and the latter took a sip of breakfast milk. Neither party lost, and it was a win-win situation.

Before Asami Inoshita drove to the Jasmine Cafe, she took a detour to a print shop and spent a small sum of money to print out 100 of the three coupons designed by Masato Fujiwara last night. There are discount coupons for 500 yen, 300 yen, and 100 yen.

In addition to the coupons, Asami Inoshita also took Fujiwara Masato to a clothing store. She went in and spent half an hour choosing a close-fitting coffee suit for the latter, with a black vest and tie, and a white one-inch shirt. Hall attendant uniform.

Although this suit of clothes does not look much different from the waiter uniform that Fujiwara Masato wore before, as long as you look at the decorative texture and materials on the clothes, you will not only know that this suit of clothes is better-looking, but the price is also higher than the previous popular products, suitable for both men and women. The waiter uniforms are too expensive.

This set of clothes was paid for by Asami Inoshita. Masato Fujiwara looked at the price given by the shop owner and immediately gave up the idea of ​​paying for it himself.

If you don’t have this capital, don’t make a big deal.

When the two returned to the store by car, it was already around 10:30 in the morning, just in time for the opening. Inoshita Asami was not in a hurry to prepare for the business, but happily took out her camera and asked Fujiwara Masato to put on her new clothes. on, then have him make coffee at the coffee bar and drink it next to the glass wall.

During the whole process, Masato Fujiwara didn't know what was going on. He just made and drank coffee in an ordinary way, and then held a camera on the side while Asami kept making all kinds of strange aunt noises in the clicking well. Fujiwara Masato was a little creepy, and his face tightened unconsciously, and then he received even louder praise from the latter.

"Ah, Masato-kun, that's right, that's it. It's great. It fits my imagination of a noble gentleman... Raise your face a little higher, ah, that's it. Facing me at 45 degrees... That's great, Under the sunlight, your face and eyes are glowing!

No, I’m a little reluctant to upload this set of pictures to the community. I should treasure them instead of sharing them with other bad women..."
