The Era of Hard Work

On the way back, Lu Dong asked Du Xiaobing to call the decoration company he cooperated with, hoping to confirm the decoration as soon as possible.

The people from the decoration company promised to come over in the afternoon.

Arrived in University City, had a simple lunch at the Peace Hotel, Big Ivan returned to school in the afternoon, Du Xiaobing was stalked by Xu Man as soon as he went out, and even wanted to follow Du Xiaobing to the Art Academy.

Old Du looked at Lu Dong with a headache. Lu Dong didn't get involved in these things, took the key to open the door of Feiyang Hot Pot Restaurant, went in to hide and waited for others.

The door has not been opened for a while, and Fei Yang Hot Pot is covered with dust from the bar to the table.

Lu Dong went around inside and out, this business is really a good deal, not to mention the store, the equipment in the store alone is worth a lot of money.

All the tables and chairs are made of solid wood, he, a layman, can't tell the type of wood, it's dead and dead, it can't be pine, poplar or paulownia, and it's probably oak at worst.

In the semi-open kitchen, there are two mutton slicers, three large freezers, and all kinds of hot pot kitchen utensils are neatly placed.

The current induction cooker is still a relatively expensive luxury. Although the earliest Feiyang hot pot was opened by southerners, it followed the typical northern hot pot route. All the pots are traditional copper hot pots. These pots alone are good. Thousands of dollars.

There is no central air conditioner installed in the store, and the vertical air conditioner is sufficient to ensure the cooling effect.

The latex paint on the walls is of the highest quality. To redecorate the interior, you only need to remove the introduction and promotional picture frames of the hot pot, and make some simple adjustments.

Of course, the kitchen and existing tables and chairs will all be replaced.

Lu Dong didn't plan to sell these things, and when the three stores in the county got their hands, they might still be useful.

All brand new equipment, barely used.

The hot pot restaurant is composed of two connected shops. The structure of the entire shop is poured with reinforced concrete. The partitions between the shops are made of hollow brick walls. The first and second floors each have a three-meter-wide passage, which does not seem to have much impact.

The two stores are both 90 square meters in size. If they are all opened with Burger King, the latter's business area will be close to 300 square meters.

Lu Dong considered whether 300 square meters is a bit big. A single store connected with Burger King is also 200 square meters.

This is not a high-rise residential building where the communal area is so large that people will collapse. The difference between the usable area and the building area is extremely small.

The area is too large and there are too many seats. There is also a disadvantage. When the popularity is slightly low, it will appear extraordinarily empty, giving people the illusion that the business is not good.

This is fast food, not a hotel.

In business, the more crowded people are, the more attractive they are.

Lu Dong considered that a single store would be connected to Burger King, and the other store would be used for other purposes.

Taking these two stores for 150,000 yuan is a very good deal no matter how you look at it.

No matter whether Yang Guoqiang has other goals or not, he will definitely eat this sugar-coated shell!

Online at eight o'clock, a young man who supervised the computer installation saw the opening next door, immediately went back to the store, picked up the phone, and dialed a mobile phone number: "Brother Wang, it's me, Xiao Wang, didn't you tell me to pay attention to the South Feiyang hotpot? The door of this store opened, and I saw someone go in. You rush over immediately? Okay, I will watch at the door!"

After hanging up the phone, the young man moved a chair, took a newspaper, and sat at the door to watch the neighbors in the south.

The newspaper is Qingzhao Weekly, and the headline on the front page has the latest news about the university town: Qingzhao County Party Committee XXX meeting is over, and the new Standing Committee of the County Party Committee made a collective appearance...

Then there is the introduction of specific characters. The name of the last one is directly related to the University Town——Yang Liewen, director of the University Town Management Committee

There was the sound of a car engine, and the young man looked up. A van was parked in front of Feiyang Hot Pot, with the words of the decoration company sprayed on it.

Two people got out of the car and entered the store.

Is this going to be redecorated? The young man was surprised, did the store ask someone to buy it?

Lu Dong saw someone coming in in the store, he came up to shake hands, and said politely: "Thank you, please come again."

The man named Xie Gong was in his thirties, and he was responsible for the decoration of the two stores before. He smiled and said to Lu Dong, "It should be, we should be partners."

Lu Dong got straight to the point: "I've already bought these two restaurants, and I'm going to open up with Burger King next door..."

He described his requirements in detail, including exterior decoration and extending the big billboard of Burger King.

Mr. Xie has presided over the decoration of many shops, and he has a lot of experience. He said: "A shop of 300 square meters is really too big. The flagship stores of Quannan KFC and McDonald's do not have such a large area. Western-style fast food restaurants are not hotels. Too big is not conducive to gathering popularity."

Lu Dong echoed: "The two stores are connected together, close to 200 square meters, which is enough. There are statistics in the store these days, and the proportion of takeaways is relatively high."

Compared with the decoration of Burger King, this side is much simpler. The opening on the other wall is blocked, the interior and exterior decoration of the store is regulated, and finally a passage is opened on the brick wall on the south side.

This will neither delay the renovation nor affect the normal business of Burger King next door.

As for the use of the store in the north, Lu Dong has also considered it. In the future, Xuefu Wenyuan will be a large community with a population of tens of thousands. There are other communities not far from the south, east and north, and it is close to five universities with 100,000 people. A deli could definitely set up a spot here.

Lu's Catering Company can rent this shop to Lu's Food Company.

With an area of ​​90 square meters, in addition to selling daily cooked food, it can also sell vacuum-packed marinated snacks.

Students and young people are also the main consumer groups in this regard.

Burger King itself has a mature decoration plan, exchanged opinions with Lu Dong, Xie Gong and the driver who brought him said goodbye, and will not be off duty tomorrow on May 1st, and will bring people over to measure various data on the spot.

For the vast majority of private companies, weekends are legends, and overtime pay depends on the conscience of the boss.

The private restaurants in Qingzhao County, like Lu Dong, give regular employees four days off work a month, and overtime pay after nine o'clock in the evening, definitely belong to the conscientious shops among the conscientious shops.

These days, those who work in restaurants are neither black nor white.

Lu Dong's requirements are of course high.

Just as Mr. Xie left, someone knocked on the store door suddenly. Lu Dong turned his head and looked over. A short man with short arms and legs and a big head came in.

Seeing Lu Dong, the man was a little surprised and smiled all over his face: "Oh, Mr. Lu!"

Lu Dong also laughed: "Why is Mr. Wang here?"

Wang Dong took two steps forward, stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Lu Dong, his index finger with a broken knuckle was very eye-catching.

Lu Dong shook hands with him and said, "This shop hasn't been cleaned for a long time, it's full of dust, and there's nowhere to sit."

"No, no!" Wang Dong waved his hand lightly: "It's fine to talk while standing."

He had a big head and a big face, and he was all smiles: "When I came here, I saw that the store was open. I thought Boss Yang had come out, but I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be here."

The meaning of inquiring in these words is obvious. Lu Dong has heard Wang Dong's words before, and knows that he has thoughts about this store. Yang Fugui is not involved in these two stores, Yang Guoqiang sold the store to my company, and just closed the account this morning."

After hearing this, Wang Dong frowned immediately, and then stretched out: "Boss Lu is so fast and has ample funds."

Lu Dong understated: "Yang Guoqiang took the initiative to sell it to me, and I'm too embarrassed not to buy it." Before Wang Dong could speak, he continued: "It just so happens that these two stores are of great use to me, so I will accept Yang Guoqiang's kindness."

The meaning of these words is very clear, the store is useful to me, if you want it, don't open your mouth.

Under normal circumstances, those who are embarrassed can forget it when they hear this.

But Wang Dong asked again: "Mr. Lu, I don't know what you want to buy these two stores for?"

Lu Dong smiled: "My Burger King's business is much better than expected, and the customers are full every day. I plan to connect this side with that side and become a store."

"Both stores use it?" Wang Dong asked further.

Lu Dong looked at him, and said directly: "The other one is going to the food processing factory in the village, I belong to Lujia Village."

Wang Dong knew that Lu's Food Company specializes in offloading pigs and cooked chicken.

He has been paying attention to these two shops. He originally thought that Yang Fugui's case would take a few months to have results, but he didn't expect that a moment of carelessness would lead to someone getting the upper hand.

There are no Internet cafes in the university town market. According to the experience of field trips, one more computer means one more money printing machine.

Wang Dong couldn't bear it, and said, "Boss Lu, I have a merciless request. I don't know if you remember. When we met last time, I mentioned that the shop at 8:00 Online is too small. My shop is right next to it. For the shop in the north, these two shops should have separate procedures, can you transfer the one in the north to me, my brother?"

He said it openly: "Of course, I can't let Boss Lu suffer. No matter how much money Boss Lu bought, I will add 50,000."

These words can be said to be full of sincerity. After all, a single shop only costs about one hundred thousand, and adding another fifty thousand, it is nearly 50% more.

Lu Dong would only sell the cornucopia he got if he was stupid. If nothing else, when the residents of Xuefu Wenyuan move in and the affiliated school starts in July and August, the store will probably be able to raise another 50,000.

"How about this." Lu Dong did not directly refuse, but changed the way: "I take a stake in Mr. Wang's 8 o'clock online at this shop in the north, and we can cooperate?"

Wang Dong's expression remained unchanged, he rubbed the broken part of his index finger with his right thumb, and said, "Mr. Lu really knows how to joke. You are in the catering business, and I am in the entertainment business. We are two different industries."

Lu Dong said seriously: "I really want to cooperate with Mr. Wang."

"I'll think about it." Wang Dong responded, and cupped his hands at Lu Dong: "I wish Mr. Lu a prosperous business."

Lu Dong smiled: "I wish Mr. Wang's 8 o'clock online business a prosperous one."

The other party didn't mention the rent at all, and seemed to disdain the rent.

Wang Dong left the Feiyang Hot Pot Restaurant and returned to the 8 o'clock online store. The young man who was watching the store came over and asked, "Brother Wang, how are you doing?"

"It's hard to get a piece out of the meat in your mouth." Wang Dong shook his head.

The young man asked, "Do you want to..."

Wang Dong glared at him: "Don't mess around! Don't mess around!"

He saw it with his own eyes at the press conference. How could a nineteen-year-old be so simple? The Communist Youth League pushed him up just because he thought he had made great contributions?

Are you kidding about the century, there are too many people who have made great contributions.

Wang Dong picked up his mobile phone and made calls again and again, his face quickly became serious.

Things were more complicated than he thought.

Wang Dong warned: "Don't worry about this matter, just do your job well."

Not to mention the subordinates, even he decided to let him go temporarily.

On the other side, Lu Dong turned around and asked someone. Wang Dong is the brother-in-law of the leader in charge of investment promotion in the county. He started playing billiards and video halls five years ago.

Because he doesn't need to mess around.

If I have to say yes, it’s just that when I played firecrackers one time, a section of my finger blew up.
