Chapter 30 Who wrote the poem
When Li Ye arrived at Tingyu Tower, the big rock in his heart finally fell. Although he was a little mentally prepared, he was still worried when he didn't see it.
Qiu'er and Yue'er happily pulled his arm: "Criminal, look, so many people are coming!"
Li Ye was also happy. The guests were coming and going in and out in a constant stream, and the passenger flow exceeded his expectations.
The plan originally has three key points.
One is to use the mutual exclusion of civil and military people to make Wangjiang Tower lose customers, but this loss of customers is only short-lived. So secondly, he must use a topic to direct the passenger flow to Tingyu Tower. Finally, he uses his strength to keep customers.
The second step that can exceed expectations among these three steps is probably the second step. After all, it is Lu You's poem. The turmoil caused by famous works that have been passed down through the ages is not a joke.
And with this good start, as long as the restaurant management does not have any problems, there will be more and more customers in the future.
This is also called the Matthew effect in social psychology. For this incident: Master Lu's poems attract some people, and then more people will know that the reputation of Tingyu Tower will increase, and the number of people coming will increase, and the number of people coming will increase, and the reputation will become greater... This is an effect of continuous cycle and strengthening. The final result is that the stronger the stronger the weaker the weaker, and this is the Matthew effect.
The key is the cycle of "strong". The premise and core is that this topic must be strong enough. Is "The Story of the Storm on November 4th" strong? Isn't that nonsense? It's so strong that it will still be a masterpiece after thousands of years!
...........
Today, the girl He Qian didn't bother him, so he breathed a sigh of relief. The purpose had been achieved. From now on, he no longer needed so many warriors. It would be enough for his own guard and Degong's guard. It would be enough for a month.
Even if the boss of Wangjiang Tower reacts, it will probably be useless.
As soon as he entered the first floor lobby, Manager Yan came over with a smile and bowed repeatedly: "The prince is really a clever plan, and he is as good as a god. From yesterday afternoon to now, there are more and more customers, and it is still increasing. If this continues, we are afraid that our building will not be able to accommodate it in two or three days!"
Li Ye nodded: "The more you are, the more you cannot relax. After the closing, you will go to the palace to pick a few good players. Never let others suffer trouble in these few days."
After experiencing these days, Yan Kun was obviously convinced by Li Ye. Although he still couldn't understand many things. But it was precisely because of this that Li Ye's magic tricks were even more mysterious in his heart, and his awe became even more intense.
He saluted respectfully and said, "My villain remember, I must strictly follow the prince's instructions. By the way, the old man who often comes here came today and asked me to tell the prince that he would follow him on the third floor."
Li Ye nodded: "You guys go and do your business."
As he said that, he took Yue'er and Qiu'er upstairs, and he was very low-key along the way. After all, he was Li Xingzhou, so if he was recognized, it would be troublesome.
Li Ye has always regarded him as an outsider who can chat with him. He is Li Xingzhou, and no one outside except Degong is willing to talk to him. Moreover, he talks very well and claims that he is old with King Xiao, but he doesn't look fake. If an ordinary person lies, Li Ye can almost see it at a glance.
Judging from his clothes and words, he had carriages and slaves when he went in and out, so he must be a big family, and he was not like a merchant family. But he was idle every day and was doing nothing, so he was not a magistrate in court. He was probably a retired official or an idle official.
As for the specific Li Ye didn't ask, everyone just talked casually, and couldn't talk about any deep friendship. As for him, he said that King Nian Xiao helped him once, he naturally could not miss it. It was useless for him to keep this favor, and he would not take advantage of it.
He took Qiu'er and Yue'er to the third floor and heard Degong's voice: "Did you write this poem?"
When I looked back, I was still in my original position, Degong and his granddaughter Gillian. There are all this poem on the first and second floors.
However, according to Li Ye, it was a copy version, and the original was hung on the third floor. Li Ye told Yan Kun not to let anyone come up except De Gong. On the first floor, there were not many tables on the third floor, and on the second floor, the mystery was the most attractive.
"I want to say that I wrote it, but someone has to believe it." Li Ye said as he sat down opposite him. Qiu'er and Yue'er stood behind him, and Li Ye forced him to kneel down, one on one side.
"You are frank. I thought you wanted to make a few poems at will to gain fame and do money business, and I wanted to come and scold you, but after reading this poem, I understand that the rumors in the capital are probably true." De Gong stroked his white beard, and Ah Gillian, who was sitting next to him, looked down and said nothing.
Li Ye coughed twice, and opened his eyes and told lies: "Of course it's true."
"What about sir, Mr. Lu You who wrote this poem."
"I don't know, I will leave after writing the poem, and I won't stay for a moment. I guess I don't want to see me." Li Ye's face did not blush and his heart would not be beating. This is probably the most convincing reason for not wanting to see him. He is Li Xingzhou.
Duke De glared at him: "Hmph, you still know that you are. Mr. Lu is a loyal and loyal man. He is passionate and loyal, but you use it to make money. You are not afraid of not being able to sleep at night."
Yue'er pouted her little mouth in dissatisfaction and wanted to say something, but Li Ye quietly held her little hand under the table.
In fact, he considered this issue. When he said that this poem was written by others, some people would say that he exchanged his sincerity for money and common things. After all, this was an era of prevalence in literary style. But even so, he could not say that it was written by himself, because no one believed it.
Even Gillian, who talks a little on weekdays, couldn't help but speak: "Criminal, it's really inappropriate to act like this..."
Li Ye took a wine glass and handed it over, and Gillian hurriedly poured it for him.
"Haha, it's really not good. But I had to do it. Mr. Lu is a loyal and serves the country, but nearly half of the people in the royal palace are even the ones who do odd jobs in this restaurant. If the restaurant has no business, they will be frozen."
Degong sighed: "Well, this is your business, how to do it is with you. After all, I am an outsider, just talk casually, just pretend you have never heard of it.
However, after careful consideration in the past two days, I found that what you did was not that simple. I can't figure it out. Some people are here to pay homage to Gaozu, but after all, there are Yan Xianggaozu to pay homage to Wangjiang Tower. Why are almost all people here?"
Li Ye took a drink and said helplessly: "Now you have said that I betrayed Chichen, and you will say that you will scold me for playing with people's hearts again."
"You just say it's okay. I have said that I'm just an outsider, so how could I scold you?"
"Then I'll just say it..."
.........
"You kid acts to deceive the public, and they are treacherous and hateful. You are clearly playing with people's hearts! No wonder you came to me to protect the hospital. I thought you were going to do something!" De Gong blew his beard and glared.
Li Ye spread his hands helplessly: "I'll just say that you are really troublesome."
"You...you kid...forget it." As he said, the old man glared at him, raised his head angrily and drank a drink, and then continued, "I didn't expect that you had such tricks at such a young age. I have never seen you play with people like this in my life. I don't know how to say you are good. But what are you going to do when people come? They will look back at Jianglou over time."
"Of course I can only rely on Tingyulou's strength next, I have my own solutions." Li Ye said while asking Gillian to pour him full of wine.
"What countermeasure?" Degong came over curiously.
"If you don't say it, you will scold people again after you say it."
"I am an outsider, how could it be..." He stopped consciously and snorted and waved his hand in dissatisfaction: "Forget it, if you don't say it, don't say it. Gillian, don't pour wine for this kid, come and have fun with my wine every day."
Li Ye was speechless...
