Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

The nightlife in Beijing in this era was extremely lacking. There were no colorful neon lights on the streets, and there were no young ladies doing street photography everywhere.

When the sun sets and darkness covers the earth, people go home one after another and go to bed. Those with wives hug their wives and sleep alone, while those without wives sleep alone.

The entire capital fell into silence, but there were always exceptions. On a street under Zhengyang Gate, there was a small door with a red lantern hanging at the door.

There are candles lit in the lantern, and the moving flames emit a dim yellow light. After penetrating the red paper shell, it becomes a source of excitement and joy. It becomes a bright pearl in the dark night, attracting the attention of passers-by.

.

Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door and walking in, the air is filled with the noise of drinkers and the pungent aroma of wine. This is a tavern in the capital.

The name of the tavern is unknown. Some people also call it Zhengyangmenxia tavern. It has a history of a hundred years and is quite famous among drinkers in the capital.

Of course, as a pub, it needs to be good at home-brewed wine.

The owner of the tavern, Xu Huizhen, was able to brew a good wine with a strong aroma and sweet taste, comparable to the famous Erguotou in Beijing in later generations.

Those who are good drinkers in the capital will gather in the tavern every night and order a pot of old wine. The rich will have a plate of peanuts. Those who are not well-off can just pick up the wine glass and drink it dry. They only need to spend money.

For only fifty cents, you can drink until you are dizzy, eliminate the fatigue of the day, go home, lie down on the bed, and wake up the next day with no headache, no blurred eyes, and feel refreshed!

Of course, the tavern also provides meals. If you are treating guests to a meal, you can also come to the tavern.

For example, there are so many customers on the second floor of the tavern.

The leader is of course Wang Weidong, with Liu Guangfu, Liu Guangtian, Wang Cui'e, Zhang Guifang sitting next to him, and Xu Damao sitting at Liushuikou.

The so-called spout is located directly opposite the door, making it easier to stand up and take the dishes.

Xu Damao took the plate from the waiter, placed it on the table, and then said to Liu Guangfu: "Guangfu, you should thank Director Liu more today. If Director Liu hadn't spoken for you, you would have been squatting on the fence by now.

It’s in.”

"Yes, yes, yes... Liu Haizhong is so cruel that he doesn't recognize the relationship between father and son at all. Director Liu is here to help. I'll give Director Liu a glass of wine first." Liu Guangfu stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said

Drink it all.

After several weeks of drinking, Wang Weidong had long been able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Naturally, he would not refuse at this time, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing Wang Weidong being so straightforward, Liu Guangtian also picked up his wine glass and stood up.

Oh, what a wheel battle.

If it were anyone else, they might already have a headache now, but unfortunately, they met Wang Weidong.

Wang Weidong himself has a physique that will never get drunk after a thousand cups of wine. Coupled with the fact that he has a portable warehouse, he is simply invincible at the wine table.

I saw that Wang Weidong accepted everyone who came, one cup on the left and one on the right. Before the dishes on the table were empty, he knocked them all down.

Xu Damao was the first to fall as always, followed by Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian.

What Wang Weidong didn't expect was that their two daughters-in-law persisted for several rounds, and finally fell down on the table dripping with alcohol and sweat.

Seeing them all fall down, Wang Weidong stood up, smiled and shouted outside: "Come in."

A pretty figure opened the door and stepped in. She walked up to Wang Weidong in a graceful manner, glanced at Wang Weidong charmingly, and said coquettishly: "How did you know that she was hiding outside?"

This person is Xu Huizhen, the proprietress of the tavern. Wang Weidong helped Xu Huizhen during Fan Jinyou's incident a while ago.

This little widow was a kind-hearted and repaying person. In order to thank Wang Weidong for his help, she invited Wang Weidong to drink several times, and the two became friendly from then on.

Xu Huizhen seemed to have changed her clothes on purpose. The original gray tunic suit was replaced by a small floral cotton-padded jacket. The cotton-padded jacket had a waist-cinching design, which highlighted her good figure.

She had just washed her hair, and her long, moist hair was draped over her shoulders. Coupled with her pink and white skin, she could only use one word to describe it, and that was moist.

Seeing Wang Weidong staring closely at her, Xu Huizhen was not shy at all. She walked up to Wang Weidong openly, took his hand, twisted a strand of black hair between her fingers, put it on the corner of her lips and bit it gently: "Brother Hong Chang, you seem to be

If you're drunk, there's a bed in the next room, why don't you go there and rest for a while."

As she bent over, the curves became more rounded,

Wang Weidong stood up unsteadily and let her hold his arm: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm drunk, let's go..."

in the future.

Xu Huizhen struck a match, lit Wang Weidong's cigarette, leaned against his chest, and whispered.

"Brother Hong Chang, the hotel has become more formal. I'm thinking of opening a few more branches in the capital. What do you think?"

When he heard this, Wang Weidong, who was smoking comfortably, was stunned for a moment, and whispered in his heart that this woman's ambition was too great.

The partnership between Lanhua Automobile Factory and the Bistro to open a hotel was one of Wang Weidong's final choices.

Although at the beginning, due to the obstruction of several tavern veterans, the progress of cooperation was very slow, and there was no substantial progress in the construction of the hotel.

But when Xu Huizhen made up her mind, she kicked out all the so-called elders and held several consecutive meetings to unify the understanding of the employees within the tavern.

Xu Huizhen’s true talent was revealed. From purchasing the shop, to communicating with the street office, to hotel construction, staff recruitment, and recruiting chefs, Xu Huizhen did it all in one go.

Even under the relaxed environment of later generations, Xu Huizhen completed the work that would have taken at least half a year to complete in less than three months.

Moreover, in the subsequent hotel operations, Xu Huizhen showed talents beyond ordinary people.

Based on Wang Weidong's suggestions, she implemented a 4S system in the hotel's internal management so that guests can feel at home when staying in the hotel.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This seems to be very common in later generations, even the most ordinary family hotels can do it, but it is rare in this era.

After all, hotels in this era were all state-owned, requiring a letter of introduction to check in, and the waiters were all regular employees, so there was no such thing as smiling service.

The implementation of the 4S system made the tavern hotel famous at once, and soon there was an endless stream of guests coming to stay, and sometimes it was even necessary to book a room in advance.

Only then did Xu Huizhen come up with the idea of ​​opening a new store.

but.

Xu Huizhen also knew that under the current situation, without Wang Weidong's support behind her, it would have been impossible for her to buy a store, let alone open another hotel.

Xu Huizhen rubbed her head on Wang Weidong's chest and whispered.

"I have calculated that even if it is a new store, as long as it opens smoothly, I have a way to make a profit within two months."

Wang Weidong took a deep drag on his cigarette: "It's okay to open a new store, but not in the capital?"

"Not in the capital? Where is it? In Jincheng? It's okay, but it's obviously not as prosperous as the capital. I plan to take a high-end route for the branch I open this time. Both the accommodation and the catering are designed according to the standards of foreign-related hotels.

, I’m just afraid that there won’t be enough customers in Jincheng.”

Xu Huizhen expressed her opinion carefully. She knew that Wang Weidong seemed to be peaceful, but in fact he was an arbitrary person.

Wang Weidong laughed and said: "Of course it can't be in Jincheng. I have already thought about it. If we want to open a new hotel, we will go to Gangcheng!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Huizhen was shocked, and an incredible sound came out of her throat: "Hong Kong City..."

As a strong woman who dreams of making a breakthrough in her career, Xu Huizhen has a much higher vision than ordinary women. In this era, the bustling port city is an international metropolis, where large multinationals from all over the world gather.

The company is a dream place for countless people.

Even though Xu Huizhen once imagined the future, she never thought that one day she would be able to have a career in Hong Kong City.

It’s a port city there!

If it were anyone else, Xu Huizhen would have definitely scolded her as "daydreaming" and ignored it, but the person who raised this opinion was Wang Weidong.

Xu Huizhen knew that Wang Weidong always handled things safely and he would never mention anything without any shadow.

So, can you really show your talents in Hong Kong City?

The more Xu Huizhen thought about it, the more excited she became, and finally couldn't help but take a bite of Wang Weidong's face.

"Brother Hong Chang, when should I set off?"

"...You haven't even written your horoscope yet, why are you so anxious?" Wang Weidong said with a smile.

It's not that he doesn't want Xu Huizhen to leave, but in this era, if a mainland company wants to open a branch in Hong Kong City, the procedures are very complicated. Even Wang Weidong, who has been registered for a long time, has to complete all the procedures.

, it is not an easy thing to do.

Only then did Xu Huizhen realize that she was a little impatient, and smiled sheepishly: "I was too happy for a while, so I lost my composure."

Xu Huizhen is a strong woman, and she looks particularly cute when she acts like a shy little daughter.

Wang Weidong sat up and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm ready to rest."

.....

In the early morning, the capital city was filled with light morning fog.

When Wang Weidong returned to the courtyard, Guan Tingting had already gotten up and was exercising in the yard.

Opening the door, she saw Wang Weidong standing outside the door, her little face was full of joy.

"Brother Hong Chang, why are you back so early?"

Looking at the excited Guan Tingting, Wang Weidong felt a little uncomfortable. In fact, he should have come back last night, but he wasted time at Xu Huizhen's place.

Ahem, don’t think wrongly, we are mainly discussing the opening of a new store in Hong Kong City.

"Well, I had some drinks with my friends." Wang Weidong said a few words casually.

After eating the breakfast made by Guan Tingting, I fell on the bed and fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I was woken up by Guan Tingting.

"Brother Hong Chang, the security section chief of your factory is here."

They were all from Ningzhou, and Guan Tingting knew Liu Changyi. After all, Liu Changyi was Wang Weidong's cousin.

But she knew that Wang Weidong hated women intervening in his affairs, so she kept a certain distance from Liu Changyi.

"Is it Liu Changyi?"

Wang Weidong woke up instantly, lifted the quilt and walked out of bed, wanting to go to the living room.

But he was stopped by Guan Tingting.

"It's cold outside, please put on your clothes first."

Guan Tingting fetched a thick coat. Wang Weidong had no choice but to put on the coat and then arrived at the main room.

At this time, Liu Changyi was sitting on the sofa outside, looking a little embarrassed.

He felt a little regretful that he should not have disturbed Wang Weidong in the courtyard, but the incident happened suddenly and he had no choice.

Knowing that Liu Changyi must have something important to do today, Wang Weidong said directly: "Changyi, let's go for a walk."

"Yes Yes Yes..."

Liu Changyi knew that Wang Weidong did not want Guan Tingting to know those things, so he stood up and followed Wang Weidong out of the courtyard.

Walking to the street and looking at the bustling passers-by, Wang Weidong stopped, took out a cigarette and handed it to Liu Changyi.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Hong Chang, I found out that the famous Jia Geng is now working as a manager in an underground factory."

"What? Banggeng entered the underground factory?"

Wang Weidong was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth.

Underground factories are not so-called coolie factories. In fact, on the contrary, the workers inside are treated relatively well.

The reason is very simple. In this era, the country adopted a policy of unified purchasing and marketing. Industrial products from production to sales were all planned and deployed by the above.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that materials will not be distributed in place, and some places may lack certain industrial products.

As a result, underground factories came into being.

Most of the factory owners are daring people. They purchase production materials through Pigeon Market, process the production materials into industrial products, and sell them in Pigeon Market.

Since underground factories produce products that are in short supply, profits are very high. A few years ago, Wang Weidong once heard that the owner of an underground factory in Ningzhou earned 10,000 yuan in a month. Ten thousand yuan,

It’s almost the same as a million yuan in later generations.

The profits are so huge that the boss pays the workers no less wages, which are usually twice as much as those in regular factories.

Likewise, high profits come with high risks. Once an underground factory is discovered, both the factory owner and the workers will have to squat behind the fence.

"Yes, I followed your request to investigate Bangge's whereabouts, and found that he went to a dilapidated cave dwelling on the outskirts of the city at around five o'clock every morning. The place was deserted, and the ground should have been overgrown with weeds, but I found a lot of them outside.

Fresh footprints.”

Liu Changyi explained: "I originally wanted to go into the dilapidated cave dwelling to investigate, but I found that there were hidden sentries near the cave dwelling. Those people were experts and were well hidden. If I hadn't often gone hunting in the mountains before, I wouldn't have been able to detect them."

"In order not to alert others, I had no choice but to lie in wait on a path outside the cave. It turned out that every morning at three or four o'clock, a large number of people came in and out of the cave. There were also horse-drawn carriages delivering supplies and products. I ambush two people.

In the evening, after confirming that it is indeed an underground factory, I came to report to you."
