The Era of Hard Work

In the middle of the morning, a long-haired woman in her thirties approached a hotpot restaurant that had no customers for the time being. Because of the relationship she had contacted before, Lu Dong was already waiting in the restaurant.

The long-haired woman saw Lu Dong's youthful face, went over to shake hands with him, and said with a smile, "You are Mr. Lu from Lu's Catering? I'm Chu Yuxiang, the manager of the External Relations Department of Sanlian Home Appliances."

Lu Dong shook hands with her and said politely, "Manager Chu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

This manager Chu has long hair and shawls, and is wearing a suit. Although his face is a bit long, but he has put on makeup, he may be in a leadership position, and he looks very imposing.

She looked at Lu Dong and was a little surprised, but she didn't show it. Instead, she wore a nice smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so young."

Even though Lu Dong is pretending to be mature, his actual age is still here. Fortunately, he is rare in the mall, but he is not unique. Compared with the successful entrepreneur Huang of Guangmei Electric, he is still older at this age.

Generally, it is not derogatory to say that people are young. Lu Dong said with a smile: "It is better for men to be mature." Sanlian Appliances is not his partner, but it is not a competitor, so he added: "Since I run the company At the beginning, because I looked young, I encountered some troubles."

Chu Yuxiang vaguely heard the meaning of these words: "Young and promising often mean that the future is limitless. Those people have a bad vision."

Lu Dong couldn't help laughing, and invited: "Look at me, busy talking, Manager Chu, please sit down, I don't have an office here, so I can only make do with it."

"It's okay." Chu Yuxiang sat opposite Lu Dong across the beige dining table: "I have eaten hot pot here a few times, and two things are particularly impressive. One is that there are so many people, and the other is that the taste is unique and delicious. I want to come again."

Lu Dong said: "Manager Chu likes it, it's an honor for the hotpot restaurant."

Chu Yuxiang laughed: "What I'm talking about is just my personal experience."

Lu Dong added: "Manager Chu is welcome to continue to visit us in the future."

After saying a few pleasant words, Chu Yuxiang found out, and if he continued to talk about business, this young man could talk to her until noon.

No wonder the people below told her that when she contacted the female managers of these three stores several times, the other party was always sloppy, and it turned out that they were all the same.

Chu Yuxiang decisively ended the business bragging, and turned to the main topic: "Mr. Lu, there is something circulating in the Quannan business circle recently." She glanced at the glass curtain wall to the north, just across the aisle, is the Guangmei Electric store : "Guangmei Electric and Ginza have reached a preliminary cooperation. In the future, the branch in Quannan will be opened in the Ginza commercial building. It is said that Mr. Lu will be the bridge?"

It is not surprising that the news spread, and it is impossible for Lu Dong to deny it, but he put it another way: "Manager Chu thinks too highly of me. I just came out of this small place like Qingzhao. How can He De be able to match Guangmei Electric and Ginza Commercial Building?" ?”

He had a very embarrassed expression: "Hey, I'm not afraid to say it out and make Manager Chu a joke. I managed to get into this relationship. Lu's Catering is just following two big companies, borrowing their popularity and Dongfeng , to seek further development opportunities.”

For a moment, Chu Yuxiang was dubious, because according to common sense, a small company that just came out of Qingzhao is a small role.

But she has also heard about certain things, especially when the three stores here opened.

Lu Dong didn't want to conflict with Sanlian's people, because even if he won in the end, not only would there be no benefit, but it would also waste time and energy in vain.

Therefore, he simply put some words in front: "I have no choice but to get together to cooperate with others. Lu's Catering is only a small company, and where it can borrow strength, it will naturally borrow strength. When the company enters Quannan, it must seek development. I also To be responsible for the company's shareholders and employees."

The meaning of these words is very clear, I have meat with Guangmei Electric and Ginza Commercial Building.

Chu Yuxiang understood that this young man was using this method to remind Sanlian, a competitor of Guangmei, but she was in charge of external relations, and she couldn't just wait for Guangmei to gain a firm foothold in the first step, and expand and develop with Ginza in the future.

According to the summary of various aspects, Lu Dong played a very important role in it.

"Mr. Lu, Sanlian, Ginza, Lu's Catering, we are all local enterprises in Quannan." Chu Yuxiang sought common ground while reserving differences: "We naturally have a basis for cooperation, and we should be more united."

Hearing this, Lu Dong knew that it was not so easy to give up on the other side, so he simply asked directly: "What's Manager Chu thinking?"

Chu Yuxiang has already discovered that this person is very good at talking nonsense, you have to be more tactful with him, he can pretend to be confused and continue chatting with you.

She simply said directly: "Mr. Lu, the cooperation between Guangmei Electric and Ginza Commercial Building is ultimately a cooperation between an electrical appliance store and a supermarket store. Guangmei can do it, and Sanlian can do it, right?"

What Lu Dongxin said was right, but the problem is that Guangmei took the initiative to find him and was willing to play along with Lu's Catering.

Chu Yuxiang suddenly changed to Quannan dialect: "We are all from Quannan, and we are all local enterprises in Quannan. It is more convenient to cooperate. Of course, our own family must cooperate with our own family! Mr. Lu, you can act as a middleman and pull Sanlian to cooperate with Ginza... ..."

Lu Dong smiled and said, "Manager Chu thinks too highly of me, it's really not up to me to decide, how big is Guangmei and Ginza, can you listen to the advice of a small catering company like me?"

Chu Yuxiang often said: "I believe Mr. Lu has such ability, we should join hands to fight against the invasion of foreign companies..."

Listening to Chu Yuxiang's eloquent words, Lu Dong was unwavering. The other party talked about fellow villagers, friendship, history, and origins, but not the reality.

In order to let Lu's Catering act as a middleman, Guangmei Electric signed an agreement with Lu's Catering. Not only will Guangmei greet Lu's Catering in advance when it enters the market other than Quannan, but it will also assist Lu's Catering when renting a local shopping mall. site.

This does not have any negative impact on Guangmei itself.

The Manager Chu of the Sanlian wanted people to renege on the contract, but he refused to let go of his fingers.

Lu Dong is not doing charity.

Besides, others don't know, he doesn't know that Sanlian will soon become a big pit?

Sanlian Electric has a rigid system and lost local protection. It is not an opponent of Guangmei at all.

In the end, Sanlian not only got rid of his own trap, but even the city government had to spend billions of dollars to wipe Sanlian's ass.

It's fine if you don't know about such a partner. Now that you know something, who dares to cooperate?

In the end, Chu Yuxiang walked out of Lu's hot pot restaurant disappointed, and looked back at the red and white signboard of Lu's hot pot, feeling somewhat unhappy.

As a batch of the most famous enterprises in Quannan and a living sign of the home appliance industry, Sanlian, as a public enterprise, has always been unfavorable in handling affairs in the past, but it has rarely encountered difficulties.

This Lu Dong's attitude was quite kind, he said yes and yes, but actually there was nothing useful about it.

Could it be that Sanlian has fallen to the point where even a small catering company in the county doesn't care?

Having been the overlord of Quannan's home appliance market for many years, it is inevitable to be a little arrogant.

Chu Yuxiang glanced at the signboards of the three restaurants of Lu's Catering, and walked towards the Sanlian Commercial Building to the west. She needed to report the situation to the leader as soon as possible.

Lu Dong sent Chu Yuxiang away, and called Fu Zhaoxia: "Xiao Fu, pay more attention to Sanlian."

Fu Zhaoxia was not far away, and heard Lu Dong's conversation with someone, and said, "Mr. Lu, I understand."

Lu Dong knew that Sanlian Home Appliances was a trap, and he didn't want to make contact at first, but if you didn't go to someone, someone would come looking for you, and you couldn't hide, so he told him: "If anyone from Sanlian wants to look for you, call me as soon as possible. Telephone."

Fu Zhaoxia nodded: "Okay."

Lu Dong felt that Sanlian's opponent was Guangmei, and it would never be transferred to Lu's Catering. With Guangmei in front, it shouldn't be a big deal.

But be careful not to go wrong.

University City, No. 2 Building of Innovation Port of Provincial University.

Song Na and the blond Natasha walked into office No. 808 of Lu's Catering, greeted Xue Tian at the front desk, and went to the empty meeting room together without disturbing other people who were busy in the large bay.

Taking off the cotton hat, Song Na opened the chair and sat down, put the briefcase in her hand on the desk, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally, all the procedures have been completed."

Natasha said in somewhat blunt Chinese: "Song, I never thought that starting a company requires going through so many procedures and going to so many places."

Song Na opened the briefcase, sorted out all kinds of documents, and said, "Natasha, it's lucky to have you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to complete these procedures this year."

Take out the business license with the name of the company on it - Wenxin Trading Co., Ltd.

There are only two shareholders in this company, Song Na and Natasha, and the latter holds 10% of the shares with the advertising commission from the catering company, the money from the family and the money borrowed from Big Ivan.

There are four stores under Wenxin Trading, three in the university town and one in the county.

With the registration of the company completed, Song Na is considering opening a new store, and is also considering creating a brand of accessories that belongs to Warm Commerce.

It is impossible to build a factory. She is thinking of finding a manufacturer to do OEM. She is currently collecting information on the manufacturer.

Natasha went to the water dispenser to find a paper cup and took two cups of water, put one cup next to Song Na, and then helped Song Na sort out the materials together.

Being able to come to Taidong from Ukraine to study abroad, Natasha’s family conditions are not bad, but they are not too good either. If the family conditions are good, they all went to the west to study.

The high salary and stable social environment here, coupled with the influence of Big Ivan, gave her the idea of ​​staying here to develop.

Song Na gave an opportunity to buy shares, and Natasha cherished it very much. After following people like Lu Dong and Song Na for nearly a year, field observation told her that this is an opportunity to change the fate of herself and the whole family.

If she does well here, can the whole family be brought over?

The life of ordinary people in Ukraine, especially the social environment, is really far from here.

Not to mention anything else, here, she dared to wander around alone in the middle of the night, in Ukraine, even Kiev, even if she was accompanied by a man, she would not dare.

really will be missing.

After tidying things up, Song Na looked at the time and said, "Natasha, let's go to the company's office and discuss the decoration with someone."
