The Era of Hard Work

Just after 8 o'clock in the morning, the four people walked around from the construction site of the Academy of Arts, entered between the outer second-floor shops and the temporary fence that cut off the sidewalk, and walked towards the intersection.

The checkered bricks have been paved here, and the enclosure has been removed, which is no different from the sidewalk outside.

Xiao Liang, a salesman in a suit, said: "Mr. Yang, the first phase of the shops are all here, and the second phase is located further north. The construction speed over there is slow, and the foundation was laid only a few years ago."

The man named Mr. Yang is very handsome. He looks about forty years old, wears glasses, and has a big belly under his coat.

This is Yang Fugui, a celebrity in Qingzhao County and the leader of the catering industry.

On his left and right are Ma Yunlai, an ordinary-looking man, and Yang Guoqiang, his son who has a public air before graduation.

"All the shops here are for sale?" Yang Fugui asked, "Xiao Liang, is it okay to do catering?"

Xiaoliang said with a smile: "All the shops in the first phase are for sale, Mr. Yang, you can buy them, and you can do whatever you want."

Yang Fugui turned to look at his son: "Guoqiang, in your opinion, which store is the most suitable?"

"Dad, are you testing me?" Yang Guoqiang has been in the student union for more than three years, and he has a certain vision, and he speaks unhurriedly: "Our Hailong Hotel is the leader in catering in Qingzhao, but the consumption is also high, and the university city is the most willing to spend money. Most of them are students, and high-end hotels can’t afford it. If we want to open a restaurant in a university town, we can only choose Feiyang Hot Pot.”

Yang Fugui kept nodding: "That's right, the student union has not been in vain for several years. People say that the student union is a small officialdom, which can train people."

Yang Guoqiang smiled confidently: "I will take the public road after graduation. The most important assessment indicator now is economics. If you don't understand economics, you will have no future."

Ma Yunlai answered: "There is nothing to say about Guoqiang's mind."

Yang Guoqiang smiled more confidently: "I have specially taken economics courses."

A group of people gradually approached the intersection, and Yang Fugui said again: "Old Ma, which one do you think is the most suitable?"

Ma Yunlai glanced at it, pointed to the shop facing the southwest and said, "Brother Yang, this location is the best, it gathers wealth from three sides..."

Yang Guoqiang wanted to see it, but Xiao Liang hurriedly said, "Sorry, Mr. Yang, this No. 1 shop has already been sold."

Yang Fugui frowned. The location of this store is undoubtedly the best.

Yang Guoqiang pointed to the north side of Shop No. 1: "What about this one?"

Xiao Liang said, "This is Shop No. 2, and it's also sold."

Ma Yunlai pointed to the east again and asked, "Will this one be sold too?"

"I'm sorry." Xiaoliang apologized again and again, and said with a smile: "It's also sold."

Yang Fugui put his hands behind his back and said: "It seems that someone paid attention to it earlier than us and acted faster." He asked: "Xiao Liang, who bought it, do you know?"

Xiaoliang recalled, and said: "Shop No. 2 was bought by a couple in their thirties. Shop No. 1 and Shop No. 2 seemed to be bought by two young people. I did not handle these three businesses. I just bought them." I’ve met someone before, but I don’t remember the exact name.”

He put on the most enthusiastic smile: "Why don't you go and look at others, many shops in the first phase have not been sold."

Mr. Yang pointed to the three shops in No. 1 shop: "Go in and take a look around first, and then go to see others."

Shop No. 3 was transferred, and there was no doubt that Shop No. 1 had the best location, the largest area, and the most suitable shop for him.

Number two and number three are coming soon.

Later, No. 4, which has not been sold yet, is also available. It is about the same size as No. 2 and No. 3, but the area of ​​No. 5 is smaller.

As the leader of Qingzhao's catering industry, I started to investigate years ago, especially Guoqiang's observation of Lu Dong's booth, the overall consumption power of the university town is very strong.

The popular diet must have something to do.

Since it is a leader, Yang Fugui's ideal new store in the university city naturally has the best location and the largest storefront.

Yang Fugui left Shop No. 5 and asked, "Xiao Liang, can you contact the buyer from Shop No. 1?"

Xiao Liang hesitated: "This..."

Yang Guoqiang's student union is not just for nothing, he observed his words and said, "We will buy from the store, and our family is not just a kind of restaurant."

Xiaoliang's hesitation immediately disappeared: "I'll go back and look for it, see if there is any contact information."

Yang Guoqiang said, "Dad, let's look at other shops."

"Okay." Mr. Yang gave his son face very much.

…………

At the same time, Song Na came riding a little Mulan, and saw Lu Dong waiting on the side of the road from a long distance, and stepped on the gas to meet up.

Although it is late February in the Gregorian calendar, it is still very cold in the first month.

Seeing Lu Dong's face flushed from the cold, Song Na blamed, "You're stupid, don't wait in the house, come here instead."

Lu Dong smiled and said, "I just arrived too." He asked emphatically, "Have you figured it out?"

"Think it over!" Song Na made up her mind: "Buy a store! I have been doing my parents' work last night. Fortunately, I have been reliable since I was a child..."

Speaking of this, she laughed to herself first: "The money earned in the last half year also gave them confidence. After spending several hours, my parents finally supported me."

Lu Dong smiled: "Better than me. Before last summer, if I dared to spend tens of thousands of dollars in business, my family could lock me up."

Song Na smiled brighter: "You were still Lu Kuisheng at that time, not the leader of the Five Poisons."

Lu Dong felt that he couldn't hold back his face, so he hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go to the sales office."

Song Na motioned to the rear seat: "Come up, I'll take you in."

"Just a few steps." Lu Dong scratched his head, "It's not necessary."

Song Na insisted: "Come up quickly, let me push the car and walk in with you?"

Lu Dong had no choice but to get in the car.

Little Mulan's car is very small, and it is difficult for two people, especially Lu Dong, who is tall and burly.

Fortunately, Song Na is a slender and tall type, and the two of them can sit next to each other.

Like Song Na, Lu Dong gently grabbed Song Na's down jacket.

Xiao Mulan went in, stopped in front of the board room, and Liu Jie immediately came out to greet her: "Lu Dong, Xiao Song, here we come."

Song Na often followed Lu Dong to pick up and unload goods, and Liu Jie had met her many times. Although she was not familiar with them, she knew her.

The two of them took their bags and followed Liu Jie into the board room. Unlike Lu Dong's previous visits, there was a big sand table in the board room.

Each building, together with the surrounding shops, has a clear sign.

Lu Dong and Song Na were doing business nearby. They came here frequently and knew enough about it. After looking at the sand table, they sat down with Liu Jie in a secluded place.

"Sister Liu." Lu Dong said directly, "I'll bring you a special customer, and the shop will give us the lowest price."

Liu Jie kept smiling decently: "I went to Sister Qin specifically yesterday. You introduced such a big client to the company, and Sister Qin reserved an internal quota for you."

This is the corresponding discount for Dujuan's super big order.

She handed over the information about the shops on sale to Lu Dong and Song Na, and said, "You've been running here all day, and you're familiar with them. Do you need me to introduce you?"

Lu Dong had just seen most of the stores, without touching the information, he said directly: "I remember that the fourth store was not sold?"

Liu Jie nodded: "No. 4 and No. 3 have about the same area, two floors above and below, 110 square meters."

Lu Dong asked, "What about the price?"

Liu Jie was very happy when she got the order from her superiors: "One hundred thousand."

Lu Dong did some calculations, last time Shop No. 1 gave a discount of 20,000 for 170,000, and 110,000 for 10,000, which is not bad.

"Same as last time." Lu Dong said directly: "Bank loan?"

His two properties, the shop was bought with a loan, and the monthly repayment is less than 1,000, and the house was bought directly from Qian Rui, and he still owes Qian Rui 20,000, which can be repaid when Qian Rui comes back after fifteen. .

With the income from two businesses, and taking on a loan of less than 1,000 yuan per month, the pressure is not too great.

Liu Jie confirmed: "Yes."

Song Na had heard Lu Dong talk about the No. 1 store in detail before, so she generally understood what happened to the mortgage.

Lu Dong was particularly happy here. Liu Jie had dealt with him many times, so she knew there would be no problem, so she simply asked Song Na, "Xiao Song, what type do you want?"

Song Na is a person with ideas, and has her own ideas: "I buy it for business, and it shouldn't be too big, and I can't afford it if it's too big."

Lu Dong looked at her and asked with his eyes. Song Na understood what Lu Dong meant and shook her head slightly.

She didn't want to bother Lu Dong for problems that she could solve by herself.

Song Na watched Lu Dong develop step by step in the university city, and knew that he suffered and suffered far more than herself.

Think about the sweat that Lu Dong shed in summer, and look at the cuts on his hands that were cut by the Siberian cold current. The money in Lu Dong's hands is all his hard-earned money.

You can work hard together, but you can't enjoy it with peace of mind.

Lu Dong knew Song Na well and didn't say much.

Liu Jie found a floor plan from the information and pushed it to Song Na: "Xiao Song, look at this. The upper and lower floors are 74 square meters. The layout is very reasonable without any wasted area. You were brought by Lu Dong. 70,000 if you want."

This is a huge sum of money for Song Na.

Song Na smiled: "Let me think about it."

Liu Jie smiled and said, "Don't worry."

On the first day of work, she was able to open two orders, and she was in a great mood.

Song Na pondered for a moment, then asked, "Can the teacher be the guarantor for the bank loan?"

Liu Jie reminded: "Privately run ones are not acceptable."

Lu Dong once took out a loan: "A store loan requires half of the down payment, and the loan can be for a maximum of 5 years, according to the uniform here."

Half of the down payment is 35,000, and there is still a lot left in her hand. She has calculated based on her experience in selling things in the past few months.

Song Na lowered her voice and said to Lu Dong: "My aunt is the editor's teacher and can guarantee for me. I don't know the bottom line for this loan. Is it appropriate to borrow more or less?"

Lu Dong said: "You have to repay several hundred yuan every month. If you are confident in the business, I suggest you borrow more and keep more money in your hand. If you encounter an opportunity, you can also have money to invest."

He didn't say much about some things, even if he encountered difficulties in repaying the loan, he could help.

Song Na believed in Lu Dong and quickly made a decision: "Okay, just half of the down payment."

Liu Jie struck while the iron was hot: "Shall we go through a formality?"

Song Na said, "Let's do it for Lu Dong first, and I'll go and see the house first."

If it wasn't for Lu Dong, and for the past six months, she wouldn't have made such a big determination, but she couldn't be at ease if she didn't look at the house.

Besides, Song Na didn't bring any money, she had to go to the bank to withdraw money, and she had to communicate with her aunt.

Lu Dong and Liu Jie went to the financial office next door to pay for the formalities, and Song Na followed suit.

The last time I bought No. 1 shop, Lu Dong had done it once, and he was familiar with it.

After completing the contract procedures here, we sorted out the information required for the loan.

The position where Lu Dong was sitting was facing the door of the prefabricated house. He had just finished filling in the information when he suddenly saw four people coming in from the door.

The first acquaintance, Qingzhao's catering leader Yang Fugui!
