Chapter 501: Dream Scene
After talking with Caio and Andrea for a while, Suxia was about to go back to rest when Santi suddenly came.
Today, Santi was wearing a white shirt and a hip skirt, looking like a smart and capable urban white-collar worker. The moment he saw Su Xia, his eyes lit up and he immediately went up to her and said, "Admiral, you are here. Welcome to our cafe."
"I was planning to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come. What a coincidence." Santi pulled a bench and sat down opposite Su Xia. Then she snapped her fingers to summon Kayo. Her snaps were loud and clear. "Kayo, give me two cakes and a cup of coffee. I also have a cup of black tea. The admiral likes black tea."
"I'll forget it." Su Xia said, "I had a big lunch and just had a piece of cake ."
"Then a cup of coffee or a cup of black tea." Santi urged, "Hurry up. The Admiral is our honored guest."
Su Xia did not refuse this time. In fact, he felt a little thirsty after eating the cake and wanted to drink something. He said, "What does Santi want to talk to me about... Actually, I was looking for you too."
"I don't have anything to do with you, the Admiral. It's just..." Santi said as he took out a beautifully crafted card from his pocket and placed it in front of Su Xia. "I made a VIP card for you. As long as you show this card in my store, all your purchases will be free of charge, no matter what you make."
Even if he doesn't usually accept the admiral to pay for his consumption, giving him a VIP card can make him feel more at ease. He never expected the admiral to pay for his consumption, but giving him a noble card has the same effect, which can be said to be a cost-free business. In any case, as long as the admiral comes to the store often, it is a victory.
Su Xia picked up the so-called VIP card, looked at the front and back, and flicked it back, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, but I never pay when I eat at a restaurant."
After hearing Su Xia's words, even Santi was a little confused. What a shameless statement.
Su Xia laughed so hard that his shoulders shook. Of course, he wasn't really that shameless, he just thought it was fun to say that.
Santi calmed down, put his hands on the VIP card and pushed it in front of Su Xia again, and said solemnly: "There is no reason to take back what has been given away. The admiral doesn't need it, you can give it to someone else."
Su Xia raised her head and looked at Santi. She had to say that this girl was really good at handling things.
Su Xia thought seriously, he didn't get this card as a superior, so it couldn't be considered bribery. Santi gave this card to him because he frequented her store, and this was to pay for his advertising. He picked up the VIP card and said, "Well, since you insist, I will be disrespectful to refuse it."
Seeing Su Xia accept the card, Santi still remembered what Su Xia had just said: "The Admiral just said that he wanted to find me. What does the Admiral want to talk to me about?"
Su Xia told the company what he had discussed in the morning. There were too many useless equipment in the garrison, and how to deal with them was a problem. Of course, the company did not mention the proposal to let Santi serve as the Minister of Commerce. Capitalists are not trustworthy.
Santi was definitely capable and gave the answer after just a moment of thought.
"It is obsolete equipment for our garrison, but it may not be the case for other garrisons."
"First of all, don't cooperate with the KanColle Headquarters. The reason is very simple - the KanColle Headquarters is not a company but a government. What they pursue is not economic profit but social responsibility..."
"We must first understand who our customers are. Our customers are not those poor small town garrisons, but those wealthy and powerful large garrisons..."
"Why are shark fins, bird's nests, goose liver, and abalone so expensive? What nutritional value do they have? I'm afraid their nutritional value is not as good as an egg or a glass of milk. What are the advantages of those brand-name handbags over ordinary handbags? Of course they are better, but they are definitely not worth the huge price difference..."
"Do you think those rich people don't know that shark fin and bird's nest are not as nutritious as an egg or a glass of milk, and branded handbags are no better than that... There must be such stupid rich people. After all, if you stand on the vent of the wind, even a pig can fly. But most people must know, so why do so many people still eat those things?"
"As long as you know these things, the rest will be easy..."
When it came to business, Santi's specialty, he couldn't stop talking until he finished the coffee brought by Kayo. He finally stopped talking and offered himself: "If the admiral believes in me, I am willing to take on this task and sell the obsolete equipment in the garrison at a good price."
It turns out that we can only do business in the garrison. We are all sisters, so some things must be controlled and not be overdone. If it is an outsider, it doesn't matter what means are used. It's meaningless to simply make money from outsiders. It's interesting to make money for the garrison by order. Santi was really excited.
Su Xia looked at Santi who was eager to try. He believed in Santi's ability to make money. She could definitely help the garrison make a lot of money, but it would inevitably ruin the reputation of the garrison, making the garrison have a reputation of being obsessed with money.
The garrison is not short of money, so there is really no need to give up its reputation.
Otherwise, why not make money from the wealthy garrisons while helping the weak ones?
Thinking of this, Su Xia couldn't make up her mind and waved her hand, "Let's talk about it later."
Santi knew that the admiral had many prejudices against her. She did not persuade those who achieved great things to be less particular about trivial matters. She just quietly watched Su Xia sip the red tea from the cup with a thoughtful expression.
Su Xia finished her tea, but still couldn't make up her mind. It wasn't a trivial matter like what to eat for dinner or what snacks to buy. It was something that affected the entire body and had to be handled with extreme caution.
It was time to have a good rest during the break. Su Xia decided not to think about work and said casually, "Santi, I remember you wanted to hire Fletcher and Archerfish as clerks at first, but how come it became Andrea and Caio?"
He had been looking forward to it very much.
"Fletcher doesn't want to come. Archerfish has to go to school during the day, or dive to do marine research..." Santi thought about how she went to the bar in the commercial building to recruit Archerfish. As a bartender and manager, Missouri bought her a glass of wine and never dared to speak again.
The Water Rabbit was the mainstay of the bar. What was the difference between stealing the Water Rabbit and smashing the bar? A small light aircraft carrier was no match for a battleship, not to mention that the other party had recently become the only missile battleship in the naval base, and in the admiral 's mind, it had the same status as Lexington.
"Although without Fletcher and Archerfish..." Santi said, "Aren't Caio and Andrea good?"
"Okay, okay... I didn't say no, I just had a question." Su Xia explained.
"Plans can't keep up with changes." Santi held up his chin and said, "Anyway, I think Kayo and Andrea are better. They are maids and daughters. These attributes are invincible."
Su Xia looked at Kayo and Andrea and nodded subconsciously. He suddenly remembered that the two sisters had always called him Admiral instead of Master. It was a little off. He had to tell Santi. If he could have that special title, it would be perfect. No problem, it would come true one day.
"Admiral, your smile is a bit obscene." Santi said suddenly.
"Don't you want to open your store?" Su Xia threatened.
"Think positively." Santi said quickly. As a businessman, he knew the current situation best.
Su Xia didn't know if it was because of him or simply because the lunch break had the most customers, the coffee shop became quite lively at noon without her noticing.
The girl in the red skirt and with blonde hair down to her back is the Canarias, the first ship of the Spanish Canarias-class heavy cruiser. The design was based on the Kent-class and London-class heavy cruisers, and it is a treaty-type heavy cruiser. There is nothing noteworthy about it in history, and there is no transformation in the game. The game illustration is quite cute, but it is just an ordinary heavy cruiser.
The girl sitting in the corner is Gotland.
Gotland is a very interesting warship, a peculiar warship that combines a seaplane carrier with a traditional cruiser. The earliest aviation cruiser, and similar warships that followed were more or less influenced by it.
The most famous event in the long service period in history was the discovery of Bismarck and Eugen's formation, which marked the beginning of the pursuit of Bismarck.
In the game, Gotland is an aviation cruiser that can participate in air battles, preemptive anti-submarine warfare, first-round bombardment, second-round bombardment, torpedo battles, and night battles. In the bombardment battle, it can also launch aircraft for anti-submarine warfare. Unfortunately, its strength is not high and it can't do anything. It is just a vase that looks powerful.
I have to say that it is quite difficult to obtain.
"Admiral, you have a membership, why don't you go to the gym?" George Evlov lived in Guanhai Building, and her appearance was not unsurprising. "Admiral, I can provide private training for free."
Initially, they used the excuse that the admiral had signed up for a gym membership and would definitely go there often in the future, and they really attracted a lot of customers. The problem was that the admiral had never been to the gym since then. After learning this, everyone who was originally hesitant and waiting suddenly made up their minds, what was the point of working out. George Evlov was anxious, especially after witnessing the crowds of guests, and he couldn't stand the gap.
Su Xia looked at the girl with pointed ears and felt a little embarrassed. She said, "I want to go too. Isn't this just a hassle every day?"
"Can't you spare an hour a day?" George Evlov was unwilling.
"Definitely next time." This was all Su Xia could promise.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law." It was already past one o'clock when Saratoga arrived at the cafe. She lived just across a ring road from Guanhai Tower.
"When did a cafe open here?" Iowa is just a little way from the beach villa.
As everyone showed up, Sang went to make friends everywhere. At this time, she leaned on the windowsill, looking at the bustling coffee shop with a deep gaze, thinking that this was the scene she had originally imagined.
Su Xia originally wanted to sit in the cafe and then take a lunch break, but now there is no way she can go.
A lunch break passed just like that.
