The Era of Hard Work

The office of the brigade was filled with smoke, led by Lu Zhenlin and Lu Jianguo, who smoked one after another. No one pays attention to the problem of smoking these days, but any meeting will inevitably become a fairyland on earth.

For the rest, everyone ate melon seeds.

This meeting gathered all the shareholders and backbones of Lujia Food Co., Ltd., and it felt like a tea party.

Lu Dong approached the window and quietly opened a slit so that he could breathe in some fresh air.

During the discussion one after another in the meeting, Lu Dong would occasionally express his opinion, talking about the successful models he had seen and seen, for Lu Zhenlin's reference.

Lujia Food Company has succeeded in its first step, but this is only the beginning.

If an enterprise wants to grow bigger, it must develop in a formalized and scaled manner, which is also the primary issue discussed today.

Factory buildings need to be established, suitable production lines introduced, and standardized production processes formulated. Under the current social environment, the so-called pure hand-cooking cannot become a selling point.

Stewed stew is not a high-end food. The key is to take a route suitable for the taste of the public.

After the 15th day of the first lunar month, Lu Zhenlin will take people out to visit, contact several enterprises through the county, and go out to learn from others' advanced experience.

The most important point of scale is to continue to open stores.

Based on the location of Lujia Village and the transportation conditions of the road network, the goods can directly cover the three urban areas of Quannan, Pingcheng, and Linzi. At present, there is no need to consider joining those things, and the direct management is the main thing.

This is also conducive to the quality control of each branch, and first build up the brand reputation.

"Our most important task in the next year is to build factories and establish standardized production." Lu Zhenlin made a concluding speech: "The second is to establish a full cold chain structure from storage to operation to sales."

He picked up a big cup and drank tea: "The third is to continue to open the store! Let's not aim too high, and strive to have Lu's cooked food Juewei restaurant in all the towns in Qingzhao in the first half of next year! In the second half of next year, we will strive to open it in Quannan City First store!"

Lu Jianguo asked: "Are there enough funds? Our capital turnover can't be a problem. In this chain model, capital flow is very important."

Lu Zhenlin said: "The city is making industrial adjustments, and there are funds to support village collectives' self-employment. I will report to you soon." He glanced at Hu Chunlan, and then looked back: "The approval from above is not a big problem."

There has been support in this regard for a long time, but relevant policies and funds often fall on advanced villages and model villages.

In rural areas, like the general trend of the whole society, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Hu Chunlan understood the meaning of Lu Zhenlin's words, so she didn't say anything more.

Lu Zhenlin's words continued: "In addition, there is policy support. In this regard, I will report after I go to work on the fifth day of the new year, and I should be able to approve it."

With a leader who has a strong appeal and a strong interpersonal network as the locomotive, the village's collective entrepreneurship can save a lot of trouble.

Lu Jianshe said: "With policy support, we are more confident in doing it."

Others are also discussing, with good policies, why not develop?

After a while, Lu Zhenlin coughed lightly, and the office gradually became quiet. He looked past everyone, saw Lu Dong sitting under the window, and asked, "Dongzi, do you have anything to say?"

Not surprisingly, the people present here are all shareholders or backbones of the food company, and they know that Lu Dong's suggestions in the company's development have played a very important role.

Lu Dong organized his language a little bit, and said: "Third Grandpa, I read from the newspapers that our business model is called independent procurement and production, and the main chain is directly operated. I don't know much about production. Storefronts, KFC and McDonald's are the best learning objects, unified management, unified decoration, unified distribution, if these can be done well, our brand should be recognized within the scope of Quannan."

He thought for a while, and then said: "There is still publicity. I do business in a university town, and I have the deepest experience. The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. We have to do a good job of publicity."

Lu Zhenlin nodded: "The decoration is easy to say, Li Jiazhu's team is in charge, it's almost the same. If it's for publicity, I'll think of a way."

…………

In Qingzhao No. 1 Middle School, Li Wenyue put away his bicycle and entered the teaching building from the west. A classroom door next to the side door was open, and voices could be faintly heard from inside.

When Li Wenyue went in, Liu Linlin who was surrounded by everyone immediately looked over.

Unlike Lu Dong, Li Wenyue was popular among his classmates, and many people came to say hello.

Liu Linlin walked over, taking advantage of no one around, asked in a low voice, "Did Lu Dong come?"

Li Wenyue said: "There is a meeting in the village. He is the shareholder and backbone of the Lu family food company, so he can't get away."

Liu Linlin heard from her sister that Lujia Village opened a village office.

Li Wenyue pointed at her face, and said, "Trick..." He swallowed back the words after that: "Congratulations, you have succeeded in fighting the acne."

Liu Linlin smiled shyly, and touched the few red bumps on her face with her hand: "It's still up."

Just as he was talking, someone came in again at the door of the classroom. Li Wenyue saw it and waved over there: "Hei Dan, this way."

Song Na swept her eyes across the classroom, finally landed on Li Wenyue, and walked over a few steps: "Wen Yue, Happy Chinese New Year." She looked to the side and took the initiative to say hello: "Liu Zhaodi, Happy Chinese New Year."

Liu Linlin glanced at Li Wenyue and responded, "Happy Chinese New Year..."

She knew Song Na, but she couldn't name her.

Li Wenyue introduced: "This is Song Na. She used to practice high jump, and now she is studying at the Physical Education College."

The two had never spoken before, so they just greeted each other. Someone called Liu Linlin, and Liu Linlin smiled and went to another place.

Song Na asked, "Didn't Lu Dong come?"

Li Wenyue said: "There is a meeting in the village, and he can't leave."

Song Na was curious: "It feels like he has become the backbone of your village leader."

"Almost." Li Wenyue said honestly: "Speaking in the village is easier than most people."

Song Na muttered softly, "I knew I wouldn't be here."

Li Wenyue didn't hear clearly, and asked, "Heidan, what are you talking about?"

"No." Song Na glanced inside the classroom: "I don't know many people here, so I'll go back early."

There were bursts of laughter from the other side. She looked over and saw that many people were surrounding Liu Zhaodi.

When she was in high school, she was not in the same circle, and Song Na didn't intend to mix it up. She said a few words to her classmates who were a little familiar with her, and left the classroom early to pick up Mulan from the carport.

In the carport, a boy squatted in front of a fake mountain bike, playing with the valve core.

Song Na knew him, the Xiong son of Lu Dong's former head teacher, Guo Ying.

Seeing Song Na approaching, the child opened his mouth to scold.

Song Na picked up a branch on the ground, pulled down the tree next to the carport, and said to Guo Ying's brat, "If you dare to curse, I'll whip you!"

When she got her grades last summer, she wanted to pick this poor boy.

Guo Ying's brat turned around and ran to the family area, crying as he ran: "Dad! Dad! Someone hit me!"

Song Na threw away the branch, pushed Mulan's cart and left.

Putting on a helmet and riding a scooter, Song Na left the county town and walked southward, and when she returned home, she pushed the cart into the gate made of stones.

"Where did it go?" her father Song asked.

Song Na picked up the car and said with a smile: "Student reunion, I went to the county."

Lao Song waved: "Nizi, come here, I have something to ask you."

Song Na walked towards the house: "Dad, what's the matter."

Old Song headed into the room and sat on the big chair next to the Eight Immortals table: "Yesterday, what happened to the one who came to deliver things?"

Song Na sat on another chair and said, "Dad, didn't I tell you, that's my classmate, from Lujia Village in the south, named Lu Dong, let's invest money together to do business."

Lao Song said: "You earned 60,000 yuan in half a month, I always feel that something is wrong."

"It's nothing." Song Na said: "We just sell fireworks and firecrackers at the Daji Fair, and we don't do anything else. Fortunately, when the time is right, the county is cracking down on unlicensed businesses, and we happened to get the license. , no one competes, so earn more.”

Lao Song knew about this, because a lot of undocumented people were also checked in the episodes here.

"Nizi, you have been reassuring since you were young. Your mother and I don't have to worry about you." Lao Song's words were somewhat reminding: "We finally passed the exam and went to college. Your father doesn't know much. Students, It is necessary to focus on learning, and when you come out of school after learning the skills, the world will be broad."

Song Na could understand: "Dad, what are you thinking! I know in my heart that I won't fall behind in my studies. I am also learning how to do business from others, and I will have multiple choices in the future."

Lao Song felt more at ease with his only daughter: "Don't push yourself too hard, it's not like your mother and I can't work."

Song Na laughed and said, "Dad, this is called planning time reasonably. The spare time after school should not be wasted. It should be used for business."

Lao Song smiled: "Okay, I can't say no to you. You are a rich man, keep the money yourself, buy something if you want, but don't spend it carelessly."

Song Na nodded: "I know."

60,000 yuan, plus those reserved before, there are more than 70,000 yuan in hand, reinvest?

…………

After four o'clock, the class reunion ended. Liu Linlin rode her bicycle back to Liuwan Village. As soon as she entered the house, she saw her father Liu Mingquan standing under the jujube tree.

"You're a split girl, why are you running outside all day?" Liu Mingquan's unhappiness was written on his face: "After studying for half a year, I can't see the life at home."

Liu Linlin didn't say a word, she set up her bicycle, saw the big basin in the yard, soaking the clothes that the whole family changed this morning, walked over silently, picked it up and soaked it into the well to wash clothes.

Liu Mingquan took a look and said, "Don't go out again from tomorrow. There are many relatives in the family, and people have to cook when they come. Your mother can't do heavy work."

Liu Linlin responded, "I see."

Liu Mingquan has been suffering from mental illness for more than ten years, and he is used to talking about it: "What evil did I do!"

Liu Linlin rolled up her sleeves, brought the washing powder to wash the clothes, put her hands in the water, it was freezing cold.

The heart is colder than the hands.

Liu Zaizhao came in from the outside and saw Liu Linlin washing clothes. He glanced at the main room where his father Liu Mingquan was sitting in front of the stove watching TV.

She went over and squatted beside her: "Sister, I'll help you."

"No need." Liu Linlin shook her head, "I'll just wash it off."

Washing clothes is nothing, I am used to doing it, and I also wash it in cold water at school.

What really chilled her heart was the latter sentence.

Liu Linlin was washing clothes, and her idea became more and more determined. She would stay at school to work during the summer vacation, trying to earn tuition and living expenses, and would not come back.

Save the eyesore.
