The Era of Hard Work

On Saturday morning, in the shop to the north of Feiyang Hot Pot, the tables and chairs had already been emptied, leaving only white walls and red floors. Li Jiazhu took Li Lin to measure the data on the spot for subsequent decoration.

"Second Uncle, the upstairs and downstairs of this store are 45 square meters each." Lu Dong pointed to the roof, and said, "The second floor is used as a warehouse, and a separate room is used as a temporary dormitory for residents to look after the store."

He walked to the inner part of the first floor: "The place next to the wall uses conventional shelves, mainly for large bags of packaged products. This piece is placed on open optional shelves similar to supermarket loose candies, which are used to hold our small bags of snacks. People choose."

Li Jiazhu was holding a pen and notebook.

Lu Dong walked along the wall towards the door, and came near the reopened store door: "The freezer and cash register for the sale of stewed meat are here, and people can come directly to check out after they have selected."

Li Jiazhu could understand: "Except for the stewed meat and cooked food sold in the old way, the rest is just a small self-service shop?"

"Right!" Lu Dong said with a smile, "Young people have different tastes, so you can choose as much as you want..."

The sound of firecrackers and salutes suddenly sounded outside, and the sound was heard from the next door. Looking out from the glass door, you can still see the flames and red firecracker debris flying.

After the sound died down, Lu Dong opened the door to take a look. The Internet cafe next to this store officially opened online at 8 o'clock, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony was also held.

In addition to Wang Dong, who has a big head on his head, the ribbon-cutting person was a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties.

Lu Dong looked familiar, took a closer look, and was sure he had seen it in Qingzhao's newspapers and news, probably Wang Dong's brother-in-law who was the leader.

Being able to cut the ribbon at 8 o'clock online, the relationship between brother-in-law and brother-in-law is obviously good.

Wang Dong's steady performance in more sensitive industries such as video halls and game halls has something to do with him.

Lu Dong didn't look much, turned his head and walked back, and continued to talk to Li Jiazhu and Li Lin about the shop decoration.

After talking inside, he went outside again. Lu Dong pointed to the top of the door, emphasizing that the signboard should be big enough and eye-catching so that students can see it clearly from across the road.

There are not only college students nearby, but tens of thousands or even more elementary and middle school students will soon be here.

They are all consumers of snacks.

Just as he was talking, someone came by, and the one with a big head greeted him: "President Lu, I'm busy."

Lu Dong turned to look, and Wang Dong walked over with the middle-aged man.

"Mr. Wang." Lu Dong said auspicious words: "Auspicious opening! Business is booming!"

Wang Dong smiled and said: "Thank you." He whispered to the middle-aged man: "Brother, introduce someone to you?"

The middle-aged man had a lot of airs, but he also gave his brother-in-law face, so he nodded slightly.

Wang Dong took a step forward and introduced, "Brother, this is Lu Dong, the general manager of Lu's Catering Company, a well-known figure in University City and Qingzhao County."

Hearing the name of Lu Dong, the middle-aged man couldn't help but look at Lu Dong a little bit. He is about twenty years old, tall and strong, with a slightly simple and honest dark face, nothing special about him.

But this person, he has heard people mention it.

Wang Dong introduced the middle-aged man again: "President Lu, this is my brother-in-law."

Lu Dong took the initiative to shake hands, neither humble nor overbearing, and said with a smile: "Hello."

The middle-aged man lightly shook Lu Dong's outstretched right hand, nodded and said, "Hello." He was not interested in talking to Lu Dong, and said to Wang Dong, "Xiao Wang, let's go."

"Okay!" Wang Dong responded, and then said, "Mr. Lu, let's talk another day."

"Okay." Lu Dong replied.

Wang Dong accompanied the middle-aged man into the nearby Santana car, and the car started to go to the county seat.

The middle-aged man looked at the row of shops on the east side through the car window, especially the Burger King where people were coming and going, and asked, "He is that Lu Dong."

Wang Dong understood what his brother-in-law meant: "He is the model promoted by the Youth League Committee and the County Bureau."

The middle-aged man didn't continue this topic, as if he hadn't asked the question just now.

Wang Dong stopped talking about Lu Dong, and instead asked, "Brother, when will we hear about Yang Fugui's stores in the county?"

"Don't worry." The middle-aged man said very little: "The case is endless."

Wang Dong said again: "You have to help me pay attention! The main store of Feiyang Hot Pot is on the most crowded commercial street in the county, and the other store is near Ningxiu Central Middle School. It has a large area and a good location. They are all Internet cafes. If the 8 o'clock online can be opened in these two places, just wait for the money to be printed."

More importantly, this kind of real estate involved in the case can be obtained at a price much lower than the actual value as long as you start early enough.

Maybe something worth 200,000 can be bought for 130,000 to 130,000 to 40,000.

The middle-aged man said lightly: "Calm down."

Wang Dong said enough was enough: "Okay. Brother, I will wait for your news."

Santana entered the county seat and drove past the commercial street in the center of Ningxiu Town. Wang Dong went to see it. On the gate of the Fat Sheep Hot Pot Main Store in an antique building, not only the general iron guarded the door, but also a seal.

The location of this store is really good, Boss Yang was able to buy it, he used a lot of means back then.

But what Boss Yang can use, he can't use.

Wang Dong knew very well that his brother-in-law should not be affected by his work. As long as his brother-in-law was safe and sound, he could have a prosperous business without his brother-in-law doing anything.

If the brother-in-law is finished, just dealing with all kinds of inspections will be a headache to death for the businesses he does.

…………

After noon, Qiao Weiguo put his bag on his back and went out of the store to go to the Physical Education Institute. When he came to the north of Burger King, he saw Lu Dong in the store, so he opened the door and went in.

Lu Dong asked, "Ready to go to class?"

Qiao Weiguo didn't answer, but asked, "Aren't you going recently?"

"I've been busy these two days." Lu Dong temporarily interrupted the discussion with Xie Gong: "I'll go after I've been busy for a while."

Qiao Weiguo said: "Okay." As he was about to go out, he remembered what happened two days ago: "Someone asked me to be a bodyguard."

Lu Dong waved his hand: "There is no need to do this business."

Qiao Weiguo didn't ask why, but nodded: "I know."

Lu Dong said: "Let's go to class! Wei Guo, take your time and practice, don't worry, we have plenty of time, we won't be fat if we eat all at once."

Qiao Weiguo smiled and went out to leave.

Lu Dong knows better than anyone else that without accumulation to a certain level, it is impossible to choose the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple.

What is the best way to deal with soft sister currency players? Become a bigger soft sister currency player than him!

To a certain extent, it is not a problem for the monks to come out to cooperate with the performance.

Having said that, it is not very clear what the actual combat capabilities over there are.

It seems that the monks are more focused on performance?

Du Xiaobing suddenly pushed the door open and came in, and glanced back, as if someone was chasing after him.

"What's wrong?" Lu Dong asked curiously, "So guilty?"

Du Xiaobing looked around and asked, "Is Song Na here?"

Lu Dong said casually: "I went shopping in Quannan with someone, and I seem to want to buy something."

"Shall we go to Quannan as well?" Du Xiaobing suggested: "I just got the news that there is a commercial building under construction in Quannan, let's go and have a look? We also have to plan the location."

Burger King and Lu's Malatang will have to enter Quannan sooner or later, and Lu Dong immediately responded, "Okay, I'll have a chat with Xie Gong, and we'll go."

He went to find Xie Gong on the second floor, said a few words about the arrangement of tables and chairs, went downstairs with Du Xiaobing out the back door, and drove a van to Quannan.

When the van was moving forward, Lu Dong saw through the rearview mirror that the back door of the Malatang shop was opened, and the short and thin Xu Man came out, seemingly calling Du Xiaobing's name.

Lao Du urged: "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Lu Dong turned the steering wheel out of Xuefu Wenyuan Community and headed west along Xuefu Road.

Du Xiaobing asked, "When will our company be able to buy a small car?"

Lu Dong said: "Just wait, don't think about it in a short time, I got the latest news, at most by the end of June, Yang Fugui's case will have a result, if we want to take over several stores in the county, we have to prepare fifty I have asked Wang Wenwen from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China that they can apply for a loan, but they will have to renovate and open for business in the next two months. The profits of the two stores in the past two months are basically not much left, and the company's working capital cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. .”

He smiled: "To buy a Santana, it's close to 200,000 yuan, and the decoration and regulation are enough for two stores."

"The most important thing is to develop business!" Du Xiaobing clearly distinguishes the importance: "See if I can become a millionaire if I follow you someday."

Lu Dong is confident: "Just wait, it won't take a few years."

Came to Quannan, bypassed the one-way street to Quannan Road, Lu Dong parked his car in the parking lot in front of Sanlian Building, followed Du Xiaobing to the east.

A piece of land next to the Sanlian Building is under construction. Not only the fence has been erected, but scaffolding has been set up. Looking through an opening in the fence, you can see that the foundation has been laid.

This building occupies a large area.

Du Xiaobing, an old Quannan native, said: "This area was originally an old house, but it was just demolished this year, and a shopping mall was rebuilt, which seems to be designed to be four stories high. If we open a store, I think this is the best location! Quannan commercial look at Jin Street , the number of people on Golden Street counts in Ximen!"

Lu Dong nodded in agreement.

This is the old Ximen, and it is also the west end of Quannan Pedestrian Street, a commercial golden street. Although it is the west end, compared with the west entrance and many places in the middle section of Jiefang Road in the east end, Ximen has a larger flow of people.

To the south is the electronic market and the iconic square of Quannan, to the north is Daming Lake a few hundred meters away, to the southwest is Baotu Spring, and to the northwest is Wulongtan.

This place is simply as good as it gets.

Lu Dong remembered that this building used to be very popular. At that time, there was a McDonald's, and the business exploded immediately.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about this shopping mall building. If he remembers correctly, there used to be a cinema on the fourth floor, Wal-Mart on the second and third floors, and Gome on the first floor.

If Quannan's first store opens here, it will definitely explode.

What is the most important thing about shops and houses? Lot! Lot! Still lots!

Afterwards, Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing walked east again. This street was renovated last year and reopened at the beginning of this year. In some places, there was a lot of construction work, and there were many rebuilt streetside houses and commercial buildings.

On Quannan Pedestrian Street, the north and south sides are full of shops and commercial buildings, and it is also the residence of the provincial government and other three teams.

In the old Sennan city, this is the center street.

After the reform and opening up, it was developed commercially and became a commercial golden street.

At present, the further east the street is, the more depressed it becomes, and the further west it goes, the greater the flow of people.

If there is hope to open a store on this street, the address should of course be closer to the west side.

It will take another ten years for the east side to be truly developed.
