The Era of Hard Work

Entering August, the two newly opened stores of Lu's Catering Company have been in operation for half a month, and there has been a stable flow of funds. In addition, the two stores in the university town have been operating normally, and the funds on the company's books have been abundant again.

In the shop on the second floor of Lu's Malatang, Qian Feng, the only financial and accountant of the company, reported to Lu Dong while there was no one there early in the morning.

"I will calculate the specific detailed accounts after the tax verification and wage statistics. It will take a while." Qian Feng came to earn wages to do things, without so much nonsense, he said directly: "Mr. Lu, here For the time being, there are only rough statistics for July."

Lu Dong nodded slightly: "Speak briefly."

Qian Feng flipped through the ledger and said, "In July, the two stores in University Town opened for a full month, and realized an operating income of 520,000 yuan, which is significantly less than in June."

Lu Dong had already prepared for it. After all, all the universities are on summer vacation in July. If there were not a large number of families who were about to attend the affiliated primary and secondary schools moving in to prop up the market in the University City, the operating income of the two stores in the University City would be terrible.

It is purely a student business, and the off-season of the holiday is unavoidable.

Fortunately, the university town will survive this year, and there will still be a large number of commercial and family consumers in the future.

Qian Feng's words continued: "The two stores in the county opened in mid-July, with an operating income of 130,000 yuan. Since the company's other investments will not be able to distribute dividends until the end of the year, the company's actual operating income in July is 650,000 yuan, and the gross profit is 420,000 yuan."

Gross profit is pure sales revenue minus the purchase price balance, and net profit is much lower than this.

Lu Dong said directly: "Including the surplus in June and July, the company needs to accumulate funds in the next few months in order to prepare to enter the Quannan market within this year."

Qian Feng said, "Okay."

Lu Dong continued: "You continue to make financial statements, and give me a copy when you're done. In addition, if there are no accidents, we will move to the new office this month. You have been there. The financial department needs to purchase specific office equipment. You make a list."

Only a formal office is like a formal company. After working for Lu's Catering for a period of time, Qian Feng's heart is completely in his stomach.

After experiencing the ups and downs of the winery, he knows very well that everything else is false, and earning a salary to support his family is the real thing.

It is true that this is a private company, but the company has high profits, simple personnel, no one is forced to drink, wages are paid on time, and goods are not used to offset wages, which allows people to have money to support their families.

For an ordinary person like Qian Feng, it was enough.

The boss is young, but he knows how to be flexible. Unlike the original factory, the boss wears shoes if he doesn’t drink alcohol. Is that working to make money? It's clearly a trade of life for money.

The body is broken, the life is gone, and the old and the young are still left alone.

There are not too many such examples.

Lu Dong went downstairs to the back door, and Su Xiaoshan was preparing to deliver goods to the store in the county.

"Boss, is it your uncle who comes to deliver the chicken every time?" Su Xiaoshan asked, wiping off his sweat.

Lu Dong knew that he was referring to Uncle Tie, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Xiaoshan laughed cheerfully: "It's very interesting, I smoke every time I come here, and I have never seen him take out a cigarette."

Lu Dong said directly: "Xiaoshan, you can try next time, if you can get cigarettes from him, I will lose."

Du Xiaobing came out of the store and said, "I'll try next time." He picked up Lu Dong's wrist and looked at his watch: "Shall we go?"

Lu Dong asked: "The car has been contacted."

Du Xiaobing pointed to the west: "The van is waiting at the front door."

"Go!" Lu Dong entered the back door.

Du Xiaobing followed, the two went out the front door, got into a Tianjin Dafa, and asked the driver to go to Quannan.

The two are going to Quannan to buy a car.

The news that Du Xiaobing inquired about has been settled. A public factory was restructured. During the period, various problems occurred, and finally came to the final step.

Similar situations are very common in this era. The assets in the factory inevitably lead to a feast of sharing. Many cars were sold off first and fell into the hands of some related second-hand dealers.

Du Xiaobing has a classmate in elementary school and junior high school, and he is doing this with his family.

Lao Du was a little excited at the thought of being able to drive a car. For people who like cars, riding in a car is a completely different experience from driving.

"I asked Qian Feng, we have hundreds of thousands of dollars in our account." Du Xiaobing turned his head from the co-pilot and asked Lu Dong, "Shall we buy a better car?"

Lu Dong repeated the old saying: "It is important for the company to expand its scale."

After Lao Du said that day, Lu Dong specially asked someone for the new car quotations of various common cars on the market. As far as the Qingzhao area is concerned, the common models of Santana and Jetta are around 140,000, and the price of Fukang is about the same. Two thousand is close to 200,000 yuan, and the cheapest one is Jr. Alto, which only costs 70,000 yuan.

As for the German luxury troika, it is not within the scope of consideration.

At this stage, it is unrealistic for Lu's Catering Company to buy a car worth hundreds of thousands.

It is not an exaggeration at all for an ordinary new car to cover a house of more than 100 square meters in the urban area of ​​Quannan.

But the social environment is here, and sometimes there is no effort to save face, and many business negotiations will suddenly increase troubles.

Lu Dong asked, "Which factory did the car come from? No problem?"

"Absolutely no problem!" Du Xiaobing asked clearly: "The car of the TV factory, before many people leave..."

If the words don't go on, those who understand will naturally understand.

Lu Dong sighed: "The TV factory that produced Taishan TV?"

Du Xiaobing nodded slightly: "That's him."

Lu Dong could only say: "Such a large factory will fail if it says so. At least half of the TV sets in my village are Taishan brand."

"Don't talk about Taishan TV." The driver master suddenly said: "I am laid off from the heavy truck group! This is the top three heavy trucks in the country!"

Hearing this, Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing couldn't continue talking. Life is not easy. For some families, the past two years have been particularly difficult.

Under the command of Du Xiaobing, the Dafa van drove to a warehouse compound near Shilibao Market. The two iron gates of the warehouse were closed tightly, as if strangers were not allowed to enter.

Du Xiaobing took out his mobile phone to make a call, and after waiting for a few minutes, the big iron door opened a crack from the inside, and someone came out to look.

Rolling down the car window, Du Xiaobing waved his hand over there, the man nodded, and opened both doors, and when the van entered, he closed the iron door again.

Seeing this, Lu Dong inexplicably thought of the scenes of illegal transactions in the movie.

But he knew Du Xiaobing well, and it was impossible for Lao Du to mess around.

The person who opened the door was about the same age as Du Xiaobing, he came to say hello to Lao Du first, and said to the driver: "There is hot water and a fan in the reception room, go and have a seat."

The driver got off the car and went directly to the reception room.

Lu Dong also got out of the car, Du Xiaobing introduced: "This is my brother and partner, Lu Dong." He then introduced to Lu Dong: "This is my childhood friend, Mu Kun."

Mu Kun came over to shake hands with Lu Dong, and said politely: "Brother Xiaobing is my brother, don't be polite, coming here is like coming home."

Lu Dong smiled and said, "You're welcome."

The three of them went to the warehouse together. Mu Kun didn't talk much, and his mouth was more serious than that of Old Du.

Du Xiaobing said, "The place you made is just like a spy joint."

Mu Kun smiled slightly: "Although these cars come on the right road and all the procedures are all right, but doing this business is easy to attract people's envy, so it's better to keep a low profile."

He made a proper disclosure: "The workers at the TV factory are making a fuss. If they knew that their leader sold the car to my family at a low price, they would have to come over and destroy the warehouse."

Du Xiaobing's family has also done a similar business, and even accompanied his father to operate it, echoing: "It is also."

Mu Kun said again: "Let's make a fortune in a low-key manner, and making money is the real thing."

Before arriving at the warehouse, Mu Kun took out the key to unlock it, opened the big iron door, and then turned on the lights. The warehouse was full of cars, all kinds of cars.

Lu Dong looked at them one by one, and found that all the cars were not new, but they had one thing in common. The worst ones were 70% new.

Mu Kun said: "The leaders of many factories bought cars like crazy, and they bought cars without using them many times, and the factory was ruined..."

"Tiger Head Ben!" Du Xiaobing stopped in front of a Da Ben, and then looked at the side: "The new A6, there are still 100!"

"Xiaobing, why don't you?" Mu Kun stretched out his left thumb and index finger and made a gesture: "Da Ben only needs this number."

Du Xiaobing glanced at the car, then at Lu Dong, shaking his head: "Forget it, I'm a poor ghost."

Mu Kun understood that it was Lu Dong who made the decision: "Brother, look carefully, whichever one you like, just go up and try it, the key is on it."

"Okay!" Lu Dong didn't look at the luxury cars inside, but carefully looked at the surrounding cars.

He got on a Jetta, a Santana and a 2000 successively.

After looking at the exterior and then the interior, he finally opened the driver's door of a black Santata: "Brother Mu, shall I try this one?"

Mu Kun waved his hand: "Go! Walk around in the yard."

Lu Dong got into the car and turned on the ignition, slowly drove out of the warehouse, turned around in the big yard twice, tried the clutch and gearbox next to each other, there was no jerky feeling, and the appearance was almost new.

When the car drove back to the warehouse, Mu Kun saw Lu Dong come down and said, "This car was bought by the TV factory in the second half of last year. The paint has not been repaired, the watch has not been adjusted, and the total driving time is less than 2000 kilometers. It is said that it is 90% new. Not too much."

Lu Dong got out of the car and looked around again. Anyway, with his eyes, he couldn't see any problems.

Du Xiaobing also came over to look, and asked Lu Dong, "Is this the only one?"

Lu Dong nodded, and said to Mu Kun, "Brother Mu, I've taken a fancy to this car, please quote me a price!"

"You little soldier brought it here, and I'm not lying." Mu Kun still stretched out those two fingers: "80,000 yuan, I will complete all kinds of procedures for you, and I can finish it today!"

To be able to do this kind of business, there is naturally a certain network of relationships.

Du Xiaobing nodded to Lu Dong, but Lu Dong didn't hesitate, and replied, "Okay!"

Mu Kun came over to shake hands with Lu Dong: "Happy cooperation!"

Lu Dong said, "Happy cooperation!"

Because of Du Xiaobing's relationship, Mu Kun personally accompanied him to go through the transfer procedures, and the bank transfer was done after the transfer.

I just bought a car, and there were no messy things in the middle, and the procedures went smoothly.

When he returned in the afternoon, Du Xiaobing had already driven a black Santana and became Lu Dong's driver.

Although this guy is a novice, he drives very steadily.

Lu Dong was thinking, if something happened in the future, he would pull Lao Du out to be the driver.
