June 20th, Wednesday morning …
After the last two days of intense preparation, the snack market was finally about to officially open.
The various vendors were already in place. The fresh ingredients had also been arranged early in the morning. They were just waiting to officially open for business.
Logically speaking, this time was not perfect.
It was a Wednesday after all, and it was opening in the morning. No matter how one thought about it, it was the time of the week with the least traffic.
However, there was not much difference between opening earlier and later for the snack market. They might be able to adapt in advance if they opened earlier. It would not be good if there were any problems at the scene if there were too many people.
Zhang Yahui was very nervous.
Although he had already considered all the aspects that could be considered, this matter was, after all, of great importance. He still felt uneasy in his heart.
Rui Yuchen comforted him. "Don't be nervous. Just treat it normally."
He and Qi Yan had arrived in Jingzhou the day before yesterday. Qi Yan had already taken the high-speed rail back to Beijing yesterday.
That was because Qi Yan knew very well that the work here was basically in the bag after seeing the situation at the snack market. Next, it would depend on the Cold-Faced Lady's cooperation.
Thus, Qi Yan immediately rushed back to Beijing without stopping. She made arrangements with the Cold-Faced Lady so that she could take care of the snack market.
As for Rui Yuchen, the Fish-Catching Take-Out shop in Beijing had already stabilized. There was no need to rush back. Thus, he decided to stay in Jingzhou for a few more days and help take care of the snack market.
Zhang Yahui had just become the person-in-charge after all. He did not have much experience in many things. What if he encountered an unexpected situation?
It would be easier to handle the situation with someone taking care of the scene.
Zhang Yahui was very touched.
He had been taken care of ever since he became the person-in-charge of the snack market.
First, Bao Xu and Liang Qingfan helped design the operation mechanism and renovation style of the snack market. Their work came to an end when the renovation was completed. Rui Yuchen came to help keep an eye on the daily operations of the snack market.
As the person in charge, Zhang Yahui only needed to do some daily work and coordinate with the stall owners. The burden on his body was greatly reduced.
He often sighed that Tengda Corporation was really a magical company!
If it were any other company, many departments would often be in a state of mutual hostility, competing with each other for resources. At most, they would not cause trouble for each other, and they would reluctantly cooperate with each other when the higher-ups assigned tasks.
However, it was completely different in Tengda. The relationships between the various departments were so harmonious, and everyone was willing to lend a helping hand to the best of their abilities. They wanted to do everything perfectly.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Tengda could create so many business miracles!
Of course, as the saying went, 'follow suit'. Tengda Corporation's unique and harmonious atmosphere must have originated from Boss Pei's wise leadership.
Boss Pei must have encouraged and supported cross-departmental help and cooperation. That was why the person-in-charge had formed such a habit.
This kindness, Zhang Yahui silently remembered in his heart.
He secretly decided that when the other department heads needed help in the future, he would do his best to help them, just like Bao Xu, Liang Qingfan, and Rui Yuchen!
He must not let Boss Pei down!
At 9 am, the snack market officially opened.
The moment the restaurant opened for business, customers who had been waiting outside for a long time swarmed in.
The composition of these customers was more complicated.
There were uncles and aunties who lived nearby. They had long been paying attention to the construction of the snack market. They liked to come over when they took a walk, wanting to see what the original market had become.
There were also die-hard Tengda fans who had long heard through various channels that the snack market was being prepared. It would gather outstanding snacks from all over the country. Thus, they rushed over to experience it the moment it opened. They wanted to try if these snacks were as good as the ones in the documentary "The Stalls".
Of course, there were also some locals of Jingzhou who happened to be free today. They came to take a look with the intention of joining in the fun.
However, it was a weekday morning after all, so there were not many people.
Customers were attracted by the unique layout and cyberpunk-style atmosphere as soon as they entered the snack market.
It was a sunny day today, so the cyberpunk-style layout did not stand out from the outside. However, the snack market was completely set off by the lights. The atmosphere came out immediately!
Many tourists were taking photos when they passed by the high-tech sports car at the entrance. After passing the sports car and entering the snack market, it was as if they had transmigrated to another world.
The shops at the entrance sold high-tech simulated gun models, prosthetic models, and high-tech drug models. They looked completely different from traditional snack streets.
There was a huge cyberpunk-style screen outside the grocery store that sold all kinds of gadgets. There was a poster on it, indicating that they could buy commemorative notebooks here. There were maps, art settings, and illustrations on it. They could also check in at various food stalls.
Some people went directly to the various stalls to experience the snacks, while others were attracted by the poster and bought a notebook to carry with them.
They were all stalls, but the stalls here were worlds apart from ordinary street stalls.
The stalls on the street were basically very small cars. All sorts of ingredients and seasonings were placed messily on them. A small banner was hung outside for publicity.
Customers could only stand at the side and eat when they got the snacks. Trash was thrown everywhere, and the environment was very bad.
The snack market had already planned out the various stalls in advance. The size was closer to that of an open-air milk tea shop.
The entire stall occupied less than 20 square meters. The counters on three sides reached the waist, and it was a ventilated and open design. The only side against the wall was where the stall owner placed raw materials and cooked snacks. The other three sides were the payment area, the waiting area, and the large screen display area.
The display area was mainly used to display the current number and signature dishes.
Depending on the size and level of the stall, the number of seats placed around the stall would also vary.
There was a special punch in the middle of the seats so that customers could stamp and punch in while waiting for their meals.
The entire stall was decorated in a cyberpunk-style. There was a custom-made neon sign with the name of the snack stall above. Many of the appliances inside had also been specially treated and looked very compatible with the entire environment.
The snack stall could accommodate two to three people. Whether or not they needed to find someone to help them depended on how busy the stall was and the personal wishes of the stall owner.
After the customers came in, their tour routes were also different.
Some looked at the signboards on the stalls and went to eat whichever snack they were interested in. Some took their laptops and punched in all the way. Some looked at the current activities on the app and went to the stalls with discounts or small gifts.
Zhang Yahui and Rui Yuchen sat at a snack stall near the entrance, disguised as two passers-by.
After observing for a while, Zhang Yahui was slightly relieved after confirming that everything was in order and that nothing special had happened.
Judging from the expressions of the customers, everyone was quite satisfied!
It had to be said that this special style did add a lot of points.
In fact, there were many famous snack streets in various cities across the country.
Moreover, although the snacks in these snack streets were more expensive, the taste was still relatively good if they could survive in the fierce competition.
However, there was a big problem, and that was that the homogeneity was relatively serious!
The snack streets all over the country actually gave people the same feeling. They were all very old and antique buildings, as if they were carved from the same mold.
Under such circumstances, it was actually very difficult to have any special memories.
However, the Cyberpunk style of the snack market was different. This unique style left a deep impression on everyone who came. They would definitely not be confused with the food streets of other cities.
Rui Yuchen looked at his watch. "It's about … time, right?"
Zhang Yahui was a little confused. "Huh? Time for what? "
Just as he finished speaking, he saw two people enter the snack market.
One was holding a microphone, and the other was carrying a camera!
Rui Yuchen explained, "This is a reporter from Jingzhou TV Station's evening news program. He interviewed Fish-Catching Take-Out when Jingzhou first started garbage sorting. I left his contact information."
"The day before yesterday, I was thinking that the TV station would be more interested in the opening of the snack market, right?"
"That's why I asked."
"In the end, they were indeed more interested. Didn't they arrange to interview me this morning?"
With that said, he immediately stood up and greeted this reporter friend that he had not met in a long time.
"Boss Rui, long time no see." Zhang Lixian smiled.
This reporter was an old friend of Tengda Corporation.
Rui Yuchen had received her when she went to interview Fish-Catching Take-Out previously. After the interview, Rui Yuchen even gave her a food box as a small gift.
It might be just a simple food box, but its shape was very beautiful and practical. It also contained the concept of 'gentlemen are harmonious but different'. She liked it very much.
What's more, the video that she posted on Weibo of 'Jingzhou ordinary citizen, outstanding youth of Jingzhou' had also become popular. It had increased her Weibo by a lot of fans, which was also a pleasant surprise.
Later, Zhang Lixian did an interview with Li Shi called 'Li Shi and the Thinker'. She listened to Li Shi talk about Boss Pei's philosophy, investment, the Sloth Apartments project, and the transformation of the old industrial zone by Thriller Hostel.
The response was equally enthusiastic!
Thus, she immediately realized that it would be great news when she heard from Rui Yuchen that Tengda's snack market was about to open!
As the saying went, food was the most important thing.
Food, clothing, housing, and daily trifles could reflect the life style of Jingzhou citizens. It was a question that most news viewers were concerned about.
What's more, this snack market was located near the old industrial zone. Like Thriller Hostel, it was an outstanding project for the transformation of the old industrial zone. Of course, it should be properly introduced!
Thus, after reporting to the head of the television station, he immediately arranged an interview plan.
