Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 411 Li Chengwen wants to treat

"We went out to eat again. It's not like we don't have food at home. It's a waste of money!" Shen Yueying was really angry.

"Mom, we are such a big family and we are unprepared. How can we make it out? You can't let us eat noodles. Even if adults can, look at there are so many children!" Li Weidong had to bury the hole he dug himself.

"The children are about to grow taller. How can we just eat noodles? Let's eat seafood tonight and give them calcium!"

Li Weidong continued to say that as long as the children are used as the basis, there is basically no problem, and Shen Yueying will usually compromise.

"Okay, then let your father pay for it!" Shen Yueying had no intention of refusing, and when Li Weidong said this, there was no problem.

Shen Yueying felt very satisfied when she saw five older children in a row, and one over two years old holding her hand.

At her age, she doesn't have to worry about her children, except for her youngest daughter, who only hopes that their children will give them more grandchildren.

Thinking of this, Shen Yueying glanced at Li Weihong again, feeling a little impatient. If Li Weihong got married, even if she just gave birth to a daughter, she would be able to close her eyes.

Li Weihong was shocked when she saw him, thinking that she was going to be sprayed again, so she hurriedly hid behind Li Weihua.

Seeing this, Shen Yueying felt that no matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice but to press the cow's head and not drink any water!

She couldn't sever ties with her own daughter, and apart from finding a partner, Li Weihong still earned her a lot of honors and created several firsts in the village.

When Li Chengwen heard Shen Yueying ask him to pay for the treat, he subconsciously touched the wallet in his down jacket pocket. It felt very thick, and he felt a lot more at ease.

"Weidong, go and book a hotel, and you can eat as much as you want. I'll see how much you can eat!" Li Chengwen felt confident and spoke forcefully.

The children looked at each other and smiled tacitly. None of them were short of money, but Li Chengwen said he wanted to treat, so naturally he had to meet his request.

If my son eats out with me, I will definitely have to pay for it. Unless I am old and Li Chengwen refuses to accept his old age, Li Weidong's brothers and sisters will naturally pay for it.

"No problem, Lao Ding will call to book a hotel later and let's have seafood tonight!" Li Weidong said to Ding Yuan who directed the bodyguards to carry down the aircraft carrier model.

"I'll go right away. Which room should I put this in?" Ding Yuan agreed and asked casually, as if what the family said just now had nothing to do with him.

Let alone a few quarrels, even if there is a fight, as long as it is not Li Weidong who is being beaten, they will not take the initiative. This is the boss's housework and it is not allowed for outsiders to interfere.

"Clean that yard, put it there first. The company will be demolished in a few days, and this will be my temporary office!" Li Weidong thought for a while, pointing to a yard at the back and said.

The new office building that Li Weidong is planning to build has completed the bidding process and is expected to break ground soon. The date for Xinsheng Holdings to move is slowly approaching.

He has many houses in Qizhou, but there are not many suitable places to open a company. If the company is demolished, it will have to be relocated. Although the house provided by the provincial government is independent, it is also adjacent to the provincial government compound, which is also a place of right and wrong.

The company could move there to work, but he didn't really want to move there. It was separated from the provincial capital by a wall and he could hear people talking. If anything happened, he could be called over through the wall.

Li Weidong would definitely not join in this kind of excitement. It was too late for him to hide away. Setting up his home here was close enough. Fortunately, he had bought this street in advance and it was still clean.

The office is placed here, and the distance is much closer than before. It is only a few hundred meters away. It is enough to take care of the company's affairs, and there is no need to keep an eye on the company.

After Ding Yuan heard this, he knew that his boss had completely turned away from being the boss. In the past, the office was in the company, and he would go there occasionally. Now the office is at home, and he doesn't even have to go there occasionally. He is too worried.

However, Ding Yuan has no right to suggest Li Weidong's decision and must agree unconditionally. He can only mourn for Zhang Dongshuo in his heart. If Li Weidong doesn't go to the company, Zhang Dongshuo will have to run in both directions.

The yard Li Weidong pointed to has two entrances. Just after I bought it a few years ago, Doubian was renovated and maintained. It is almost the same as a new house, just a little cleaning.

"Going to the Four Seasons Hotel?" Ding Yuan asked again.

Li Weidong said that if you want to eat seafood, the best seafood restaurant in Qizhou is the Four Seasons Restaurant. It's in the sea in the morning and in the bowl at night. This is a signature of the Four Seasons Restaurant.

The Four Seasons Hotel not only makes good continental dishes, but the seafood is also the best, even better than those restaurants with seafood in the name.

This strategy has been in place since the establishment of Four Seasons Hotel. As long as you want to eat and are not afraid of spending money, Four Seasons Hotel must be your first choice.

When eating seafood, you should pay attention to the season, and you should not eat it from time to time. What's more, pay attention to the word "fresh".

In order to achieve this goal, it is definitely not possible to buy from the seafood market. Not only the quality is not up to standard, but the variety is also not good. It must be solved from the source.

In an era when transportation was underdeveloped, in order to build this brand, Four Seasons Hotel had to equip its own special vehicles to transport seafood from the seaside for the hotel's use.

At the beginning, the recognition was not high, the sales volume was not large, and it was unprofitable or even losing money for a long time. Guo Huai almost gave up.

However, Li Weidong is not short of money, and the projects he invests in cannot be tainted by giving up due to losses. What is there to be afraid of losing a little money? We have plenty of money!

After a period of brand building, Four Seasons Restaurant’s brand of good seafood has finally taken hold.

As the Four Seasons Hotel grows bigger and bigger, there are chain stores in many places across the country, and the demand for seafood is increasing. The Four Seasons Hotel has also set up a company on the beach to purchase seafood to reduce the cost of ingredients.

The scale effect naturally reduces costs, and traffic has improved in the past two years, and transportation costs have been much smaller. Seafood has become a bright spot in Four Seasons Hotel's profitability.

Nowadays, there are many large and small seafood restaurants in Qizhou, but rich people know that the seafood at Four Seasons Hotel is the best.

"Do you have any good places? Can you recommend one?" Li Weidong was originally staring at a few people carrying boxes. When Ding Yuan asked this, he thought there were other good places.

"I'll make a call right now!" Ding Yuan asked Cangtian speechlessly. He just wanted to make sure. How could the boss have such an idea? His brain circuit is unusual!

"What is so important?" Li Weimin looked at Li Weidong's careful look and said curiously.

"Good stuff! Xiao Zhou, watch your steps!" Li Weidong's eyes did not leave the box.

"Let's go in quickly and come out without even wearing a coat. Don't catch a cold!" Liu Jinhui said quickly when she saw that the whole family was outside in the cold wind and several of them were not wearing coats.

If you catch a cold in front of your home, it would be a sin!

When Shen Yueying heard what Liu Jinhui said, she also realized the problem and quickly urged, "Hurry in, you kid, you are not afraid of freezing to death just wearing a sweater like this!"

Shen Yueying saw the thin pink sweater Li Weihong was wearing and quickly pushed her daughter into the house. No matter how angry she was, she still felt sorry for her daughter.

"It's okay, this is very warm. If you don't believe me, just touch it and my hands will feel warm!" Although Li Weihong said this, she still let Shen Yueying push her into the house honestly.

Ding Yuan called the Four Seasons Hotel to make a reservation, and by the way, he was told that they mainly serve seafood.

The headquarters of Four Seasons Hotel is a brand new high-rise building not far from Li Weidong's home. This is also the only Four Seasons Hotel built according to a five-star hotel.

It is also the first five-star hotel in Qizhou, opening less than a year ago.

After the hotel opened, the headquarters moved here. According to Li Weidong, the headquarters must look like a headquarters. How can a small building with several floors reflect the status of the headquarters.

When Li Weidong said this, there were many people present, and almost everyone was muttering in their hearts, who wouldn't want to move into such a building, but Xinsheng Holdings is still nestled in a three-story building, who would dare to do this under Li Weidong's nose? High profile.

That is to say, since then, there has been an "evil trend" advocating the construction of an office building in Xinsheng Holdings Company. The leaders have spoken out and the headquarters must look like a headquarters. Who knows if this is a briefing by the leaders.

As a holding company for so many large companies, Xinsheng Holdings needs to behave like a holding company. How can it show its authority by continuing to give orders in a three-story building?

So the office building proposal application was born!

Ding Yuan did not make a reservation call, but directly called the hotel's manager Zhu, who immediately reported the matter to the regional general manager Chen Lu.

"You didn't say what guests you want to entertain?" Chen Lu sat behind the desk. After listening to Manager Zhu's report, she stood up and asked.

Four Seasons Hotel implements a regional management system, usually one province per region. For some provinces with fewer branches, the principle of nearby management is adopted. Several provinces form one region.

Handong is where the Four Seasons Hotel started. It has the largest number of branches and the largest scale. There is at least one in every city, so the general managers in this area are different.

Chen Lu was one of the first lobby managers. Later she became a store manager. Then she was transferred to expand the territory. Now she is back as the general manager of the Handong region. Her level is definitely extraordinary.

Among the people who were recruited by Guo Huai from Hong Kong Island with her, she was the fastest and the best. Of course, her smooth journey was also due to Li Weidong's appreciation and support.

Li Weidong is their big boss, and when he comes to eat in the restaurant, he must be treated to the highest standards. This is the reason, and in Chen Lu's heart, this is also the emotion.

Therefore, she has to do her best both emotionally and rationally. To do well, she must first know what Li Weidong wants to entertain!

Manager Zhu secretly glanced at this almost forty-year-old woman who was still delicate and charming, and said, "It was the captain named Ding who called. He didn't say anything!"

"Pig head, where did your usual cleverness go? You wouldn't ask if I didn't tell you!" Chen Lu said with a frown.

"Mr. Chen, that Captain Ding and I have only met twice!" Manager Zhu is not afraid of Chen Lu scolding him. He is Chen Lu's soldier, and he has the kindness to guide him. What should he be afraid of if he is scolded?

"What is your name? I told you when I introduced you to him that you should have enough respect for him. He has been with the chairman longer than me!"

Chen Lu walked out from behind the desk and walked back and forth in the office while talking.

Manager Zhu lowered his head and happened to see Chen Lu wearing a pair of black wide-leg pants and high heels, as well as her waist twisting with the steps. The crisp sound of the high heels was very rhythmic.

Chen Lu, who was walking, stopped and picked up the mobile phone on the table. If she couldn't guess, she stopped guessing and asked directly.

"Hello, Captain Ding!" When the call was answered, Chen Lu was very polite and smiling.

"Yes, yes, it's me!"

"Hello, I have something to ask you!"

"Thank you so much!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Lu glanced at Manager Zhu. She was on the phone with Ding Yuan. Without even asking, Ding Yuan told her that this was Li Weidong's family dinner!

She has to entertain well, and Ding Yuan also has to serve well. Their purpose is the same.

"I heard you all, prepare well. If something goes wrong, pack your things and get out!" Chen Lu returned to the desk and sat down, looking at Manager Zhu and said.

"Don't worry, I will make sure nothing goes wrong!" Manager Zhu felt that Chen Lu had never been so serious. He had only come to Qizhou not long ago, and he still didn't know much about it.

As soon as Manager Zhu closed the door, Chen Lu frowned and thought for a moment, then stood up and walked out.

This building is the annex building of the hotel, only five stories high. This is the real address of the headquarters.

Guo Huai arranged the Handong region's office here, and Chen Lu couldn't object even if she wanted to. Therefore, although she is the regional general manager, working under the nose of the headquarters is still somewhat restricted.

"Director Guo, Captain Ding called just now to reserve a private room. The chairman is coming for dinner tonight. It's a family banquet!" After receiving permission, Chen Lu walked into Guo Huai's office and said.

Guo Huai's tall and burly figure immediately came into Chen Lu's eyes, "I'm sure it's tonight. Didn't you go out? When did you come back? Who is at the family dinner?"

"The chairman's parents are here from his hometown!" Chen Lu could only answer Guo Huai's question to this extent. She didn't even know that Li Weidong had left Qizhou, so how would she know when he would come back.

"Oh, uncle and aunt are here. Well, I remembered that his brother and brother-in-law are also here, and his sister is also in Qizhou. You must be well prepared and don't make any mistakes!"

"I also asked my senior brother to cook the spoon tonight. My hands are raw and I have no accuracy. Otherwise, I can still cook a few dishes. Hey!" Guo Huai looked at his hands and said with some regret.

"Captain Ding said we should focus on seafood!" Chen Lu reminded.

"Then let Zheng Shang, the chef elder of the seafood restaurant, he is President Gao's junior brother, his level is no worse than President Gao, tell him to come up with something really bad, don't let me lose the chain, and he will be the chief chef after he is done.

It’s over!”

Guo Huai scratched his head. He could also do seafood, but compared to Lao Zheng, he was much inferior. The vice president of the cooking association was his fellow disciple, who specialized in seafood and was very good at it.

Guo Huai is the chairman and general manager of Four Seasons Hotel. He is in charge of both direction and execution. He is usually very busy, but he is familiar with all the powerful chefs in the hotel. This is his specialty.

"I'll make arrangements right away. It's already four o'clock now, and the chairman will probably arrive in two hours!" Chen Lu said and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you. The company is currently developing at a rapid pace, but there are only four vice presidents, so the strength is somewhat insufficient!" Guo Huai stopped Chen Lu who was about to leave and said.

"Recently I want to ask the chairman for permission to add a deputy general manager. Of course, there is no rush. You should be busy with today's affairs first, and we will talk about it when we have the opportunity in the future!"

After Guo Huai finished explaining the matter, he drove Chen Lu away, leaving Chen Lu in a state of confusion.

Chen Lu is the regional manager and the general manager of the Handong region, but compared to the headquarters, this general manager is only one of more than a dozen regions.

The four vice-presidents of the company can say more or less, and it is reasonable to add one more. And with Li Weidong's character, this can probably be done.
