Zhejiang coffee shop installed 8 air purifiers, guests have to charge "air purification fee"

This fashionable boss likes to be clean and can promote.

Can you tell that he is 50 years old?

At 13:18 yesterday (6th), Ms. Zhou called: just now I was having lunch in a coffee shop on Wulin Road. They said they would charge a "air purification fee" of 1 yuan per person. This is really novel. I wonder if it will become a trend in the future.

The coffee shop mentioned by Ms. Zhou is at the intersection of Wulin Road and Changhua Road. The facade is very new and conspicuous. Its name is Fantasy Coffee. The door of the shop is all wooden and heavy, and the smell of bread smells like a sudden push in.

At 01:30 in the afternoon, the shop was almost full, and four or five clerks at the bar were busy. They all called each other their first names in English, but the store manager used the Chinese name. He was a young man who was less than 30 years old and dressed in a foreign style. He introduced himself as Sun.

"the charge for air purification is mainly due to the fact that there are a total of eight air purifiers on the two floors of our store, working 24 hours a day." The manager of Xiao Sun said while showing me around the second floor. Because half of the business area on the second floor is a smoking area, there are four purifiers, and there are two on the first floor and two on the second floor. "as soon as the guests are seated, we will make it clear that our store will charge this air purification fee of 1 yuan per person. If the guests find it unacceptable, they can choose not to spend money with us. "

After asking questions among the guests, what the shopkeeper said was true. All those who sit down and spend have a better understanding of this one yuan. "I mainly feel that the practice is quite new. With so many purifiers, I feel more comfortable when I eat." Of course, more customers feel that the shop owner can earn anything by raising the price of anything for 1 yuan, and it doesn't matter to pay alone.

I sat on both floors and felt it. To be honest, I didn't feel anything special, but there was a little girl who said that she had old rhinitis and that her nose would be uncomfortable when she went from a colder outdoor to a warmer room, but she didn't seem to be able to enter this store.

Xiao Sun, the store manager, said that the idea was conceived by the boss himself. The boss's surname is Zhu, and everyone calls him "pops". If you have any questions, you can ask him directly.

"I can't help it. I just like to be clean."

Mr. Zhu, the shop owner, is from Lin'an and happened to go back to his hometown to visit the grave yesterday afternoon. When he heard that we were going to ask about the air purification fee, he was very excited and agreed to let us wait for him in the store. More than two hours after the appointed time, he arrived in a hurry.

"there's too much traffic on the way back! I'm sorry! " Mr. Zhu asked for a pot of tea and sat down at the booth. When I saw him in person, my photography colleagues and I were surprised: according to Xiao Sun, he should be about 50, but in front of him, he was wearing a strongly colored coat, a cap tilted and a short beard, and he was only in his early 30s.

Mr. Zhu has become more accustomed to this reaction and smiled happily. "I pay more attention to skin care and everything, and I go to the gym every day. They call me pops, on the one hand, I am older than them, on the other hand, maybe I am a little harsher to them. But my mentality is really young, always 25 years old. " He smiled and took out his cell phone and showed me a picture with his girlfriend. My girlfriend is post-90s, but I really don't see any age difference between them.

Mr. Zhu said that although the coffee shop opened in July last year, he was just one of the shareholders at first. It was not until the beginning of this year that a friend gave him a thorough offer of the store because of his poor management. The first thing he took over was to buy eight air purifiers.

"I just started using the air purifier at home recently, and it feels good to use it, so I naturally thought of using it in the store." Mr. Zhu said with a smile that although he was not addicted to cleanliness, he did love cleanliness, and since he was able to "purify" the air, he couldn't put it down. "I have opened a shop for more than 20 years. I have never used a mop or the floor. I always wipe it by hand with a towel. I feel at ease after carefully rubbing it piece by piece. The door of the store is even more so. I want it to be cleaned at least 12 times a day. "

As he said that, a small flying bug the size of sesame seeds flew slowly in front of us. Mr. Zhu immediately stood up and asked the shop assistant to pick up the mosquito racket and kill it with his own hands with a wave of the call.

"now the business in the store is much more prosperous, and I think it all depends on my energy, innovation and high requirements." Mr. Zhu said that in fact, he spent nearly 100000 yuan on this batch of purifiers, and each customer charged a fee of 1 yuan for air purification. "my purpose is to remind guests that we are very attentive in the area of air quality."

Cheating on your parents to get a haircut and start from scratch

After finding out the air purification fee, I can't help but be interested in Mr. Zhu himself.

His name is Zhu Ze. He was born in 1965 in a peasant family in Lin'an. For some reason, he has had a great interest in shaving and haircutting since he was 12 or 13 years old.

"my mother scolded me a lot for this, so she thought haircutting was a cheap job. I always supported her and said that only a barber could touch the emperor's head. " Zhu Ze laughed. "because of my poor grades, my father looked down on me when I was a child. I wanted to learn a haircut. He said he didn't even bother to talk about me."

When he was 20 years old, he came to Hangzhou alone to do color allocation work in Hangzhou Silk Umbrella Factory, with a salary of 32 yuan a month.

"as far as a worker is concerned, it is neither more nor less. The most important thing is that I am independent. I remember clearly that I saved 103 yuan in my first year at work and went to the department store to buy a black gold-rimmed coat for my mother. My mother cried happily for several days and never gave up her upper body when she put it away. "

During his several years working in the silk umbrella factory, he secretly learned to have a haircut behind his parents' back. After saving money, I rented a small shop of 8 square meters opposite Baoshan Hotel and officially became a barber.

"the shop was given to me by a Cantonese who didn't even have a name, but the word 'haircut' was written on it. The landlord lives upstairs, and the whole family goes in and out of my shop. At that time, I was the only one to wash, cut and blow, four yuan at a time. " It was 1991, and in less than a year, he saved enough money and opened the shop diagonally opposite the old Hangzhou TV station. "the name is Man Tu, which is called 'White Rose'."

Zhu Ze said with a smile that in the early 1990s, it was when Hong Kong stars became famous in the mainland that his acquaintances liked to call him "pretty boy" because he looked good. White Rose and pretty Boy soon became famous in the neighborhood. Over the next few years, he opened hair salons in postal circuits and Hangzhou Road one after another.

In today's words, I felt financially free at the beginning of 2000. I thought about emigration at that time, but after three years in Canada and the United States, I was still reluctant to leave my hometown. " In those years, several hair salons did not need him to bother. He traveled north and south, participated in many international and domestic beauty and hairdressing competitions, won big prizes, and then turned his way to professional image design. (I looked it up online last night. Zhu Ze did win a lot of design awards. For example, he won the first Asian Color Design Gold Award with his unconventional seven-color style, and several media in Hangzhou reported him.)

"since 2005, I haven't operated much in the store. I mostly make separate appointments." Zhu Ze said that after starting the catering business in recent years, hair cutting and image design can only be said to be one of his personal hobbies. He says he only makes appointments with old clients a few times a week and charges 8800 yuan for a haircut.

In addition to the coffee shop, Zhu Ze runs what he calls a "public welfare" porridge shop on Hangzhou Road, which focuses on Rice Congee and a variety of Lin'an snacks, featuring that all the employees are "grandmothers" over the age of 60.

"I also came up with the idea when I went back to my hometown last year. At that time, I saw that many old ladies in my hometown could not find a job when they went out. In order to support their families, they were all collecting some ballpoint pens. A set of ballpoint pens is very tiring. They only earn about 1000 yuan a month. I just want to find a way for them to make some money. " When I think of the selling point of "granny cooking porridge", I immediately put it into practice.

Zhu Ze said that next, in addition to running a good porridge shop and helping a few more old ladies, his greatest wish is to open his own cafe to the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

"of course it takes more energy and more creativity. We have just introduced a new concept that customers who wait in line in our cafe will give a 50% discount when they check out in return for their love for us. There are other new tricks, too, to keep it a secret for the time being! "
