The Era of Hard Work

In the next two days, Lu Dong specially spared time to accompany Song Na to the business center to do market research. Now the business center not only has the Evening News moving here, but also some advertising companies that have direct business relations with the Evening News. here.

In addition, the university city has been attracting investment and companies are constantly moving in. The occupancy rate of the four buildings in the business center has exceeded 60%.

There are people who can consume and have an active economy.

In this era, petty bourgeois sentiment has already had a huge influence among urban white-collar workers, and fitness and sports are also one of the symbols of petty bourgeois life.

Through on-the-spot market research, Lu Dong also had a more intuitive impression of the business elites entering and leaving the office building.

Men in the workplace are not very interested in Sanda and the like, far from being as enthusiastic as college students. On the contrary, some people are very interested in fitness.

On the other hand, women, whether it is aerobics or yoga, which is just emerging, can attract their attention if it is conducive to shaping the body.

Even in the face of a good figure, for this group with a certain income guarantee, as long as the tuition fee is not outrageous, money is not a problem.

In the opinion of many young women, good looks are half the success, and their influence is expanding rapidly.

There was a time when I met Fang Yan, and six or seven of Fang Yan's female colleagues surrounded Song Na and asked them non-stop.

It seems that as long as it opens, it will pay tuition.

This is of course an illusion, but given the ever-increasing floating population and fixed population in university towns, a professional fitness institution does not lack potential consumer groups.

Especially this is the first one in the university city, and even in the whole Qingzhao!

The results of market research and statistics are quite optimistic, and we are just waiting for the reply from Yang Min and Yuan Baoshan.

The couple never gave a definite answer, because they thought further than what Song Na said: Should they leave the sports academy and start a business?

For anyone, leaving the comfort zone of many years is an extremely difficult decision.

As acquaintances, Yang Min and Yuan Baoshan are inevitably influenced by Lu Dong and Song Na, especially Song Na, a college student who started a business, not only as a shareholder, but also as a trading company with five independent stores. The company has recently been renovated , And recruit people everywhere.

There are always many illusions in life, such as you can do it and I can do it.

Of course, Yang Min and Yuan Baoshan are not stupid. They never considered starting a business alone. It is precisely because they can cooperate with people who have already achieved initial success that they have the idea of ​​jumping out to start a business.

After more than half a month of careful consideration, Yang Min and Yuan Baoshan gave Song Na a clear answer, willing to come out and start a business together.

The two directly applied for a suspension without pay, and came out to find their own way.

The reason why Yang Min and Yuan Baoshan are like this is not only because of starting a business, but also because they are familiar with each other. Lu Dong heard from them that there is another reason for suspending pay and staying at work.

The School of Physical Education has just conducted a professional title evaluation. The school has ten places for senior professional titles, but nearly 30 faculty members participated in the selection, and the competition can be considered fierce.

Yang Min prepared for this for a long time.

The college's selection criteria are divided into two parts, one part is personal comprehensive quality, including professional ethics, professional standards and teaching quality, etc.

The other part is the voting by the jury composed of leaders. The voting only counts the results, and the specific process is not disclosed.

Yang Min's personal comprehensive score ranked second among all competitors, which is basically stable according to normal circumstances.

However, according to the results of the jury vote, Yang Min ranked fourth from the bottom.

As we all know, once there is a leadership vote, the individual comprehensive score is no longer important, and even dispensable.

Yang Min lost the election as a matter of course.

The specific reason is very complicated. Song Na told Lu Dong privately that the school is really not a pure land.

Because she keeps fit all year round and is also engaged in aerobics and yoga teaching, Yang Min is already good-looking and has a prominent figure. During the job title evaluation this time, it is said that someone made unreasonable demands.

Yuan Baoshan rode a motorcycle and directly knocked down the gate of the man's small villa in Quannan. If the neighbors around him weren't pulling him, he might have been whipped on the man's head.

The incident ended with Yuan Baoshan apologizing and compensating the other party for their losses.

Because of some of these things, the other side was worried that there would be too much trouble, and when they saw that the two people were suspended without pay, they let them go in time.

The evaluation of professional titles is a good thing, but when it comes to the bottom, all kinds of crooked scriptures emerge in endlessly.

Yang Min was not the first one to be hijacked by using professional title evaluation, nor would he be the last.

If Song Na hadn't proposed a joint venture, the couple would have endured it in silence. After all, life was difficult. Although Yang Min and Yuan Baoshan had no children, they had four elderly people to support.

As for Yang Min and Yuan Baoshan not being entangled with others anymore, Lu Dong, who has rich social experience, can fully understand.

Lu Dong suddenly thought that on the bus, most people, including him and Fang Yan, were not as reckless as Du Xiaobing, who dared to jump out and anger the pickpocket.

It's not that they don't have a sense of justice, but that they can't afford unexpected situations.

After several discussions, Song Na's side and Yang Min's side reached an agreement, including Song Na, Lu Dong, Natasha, and Yang Minyuan Baoshan's couple, to jointly invest in the establishment of a brand new company, including Sanda, yoga, fitness and Fitness club including aerobics and more.

Since this is the first commercial fitness club in the university town and even in Qingzhao, everyone adopted the No. 1 Sports proposed by Lu Dong as the name of the new company.

Quannan No.1 Sports Culture Co., Ltd.!

This is the finalized company name, which depends on the situation at the time of registration later.

The largest shareholder of the new company is Song Na, followed by Lu Dong, who together account for nearly 67% of the shares.

Song Na also chose the venue, which is on the first floor of the newly opened No. 4 building in Innovation Port. This building faces Wenhua Road, and there are large shops on the first floor that are spacious enough.

Warm Warehouse is recruiting people, a new store is also opening, and First Sports has to register again. Song Na is very busy during this period, and there are exams near the end of the term, so she has time to meet Lu Dong only after lunch.

As the end of the year approaches, not only Song Na, but Lu Dong is also very busy.

The Ginza Mall, located in the Convention and Exhibition Center, is about to open. The Burger King store on the first floor of the mall is the first to open, radiating to the southern part of the University City.

The area of ​​the university town is constantly expanding, and the surrounding villages are constantly being demolished. After a year of attracting investment, various electronics, software, media, advertising and high-tech companies have settled in.

Correspondingly, the number of junior colleges and undergraduate colleges has increased to sixteen, among which there are many schools such as the University of Finance and Economics, the College of Light Industry, and the College of Physical Education, which have been relocated as a whole.

The seven large-scale communities that have been built have an occupancy rate of more than 70% because of the appeal of the famous schools affiliated to the Provincial Master University.

The second store of Burger King in University City mainly radiates schools and communities in the south of University City.

On the Quannan side, the railway station and the new store on Shengda Road have all entered the stage of renovation and construction, and the Shengda Road side can wait until the end of the Chinese New Year to open again, and the renovation is relatively slow.

Burger King at the train station is striving to open before the Spring Festival travel season starts, and Mr. Xie is in a hurry.

Lu's Catering Company has never stopped recruiting staff for the stores. Qiao Weiguo, who is serious and disciplined, is responsible for the training of kitchen staff, and the service staff will work in the old store after the company's five-day intensive service training. The old with the new.

At the same time, Lu Dong met with Wang Dong several times, and the financial and accounting personnel on both sides were also calculating dividends.

Most of the profits of 8:00 Online are invested in new stores, and the dividends are relatively small.

Lu's Catering is also calculating the dividends for all shareholders.

Compared with Lu's Catering Company, Lu's Village's food company was faster, and paid out shareholder dividends in one go before the twelfth lunar month.

Lu Dong received a total of 180,000 yuan including Hu Chunlan's bonus.

Hu Chunlan transferred all of it to Lu Dong: "My salary here is enough for our mother and I to maintain our family. You take the money."

After serving as the deputy general manager of Lujia Food Company for more than a year, Hu Chunlan's thoughts and concepts have been changing: "Over the past year, I have seen many places and learned a lot. Dongzi, you are right in saying that money If you keep it in your hands, it will only become less and less valuable. You have good vision and insight, and use it to invest.”

Lu Dong has nothing to hide from his old mother: "Mom, I'm going to buy a house, this thing keeps its value."

Hu Chunlan immediately thought of the house that Lu Dong bought in Wenyuan, a school. Some time ago, Lao Qi's family inquired about it, and said that the house price there had increased by more than 30%.

"Okay." Hu Chunlan said: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation are necessary for people, and the cost of living is the highest."

Don't talk about the city, just talk about the countryside. It doesn't cost 10,000 to 20,000 to build a house. Now I can't afford to build a red brick house.

She reminded Lu Dong again: "It's the Chinese New Year, don't forget to buy something for Xiao Song, and take Xiao Song to Quannan some time to buy some better clothes and jewelry."

Lu Dong smiled and said, "I know, I'll go when she finishes her work."

Hu Chunlan thought for a while and asked, "Should we invite Xiao Song to come to our house during the Chinese New Year? You can ask her, our two families have also left."

Lu Dong nodded: "I'll ask her first."

After leaving Hu Chunlan's office, Lu Dong went to find Lu Jianshe and gave him a list.

At the end of the year, the food company has reached a veritable peak season, and there are countless orders from major customers. Lu Dong also wants a lot of things. needs to be taken care of.

Living in this human society, human relationships are inevitable.

After the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Dong will ask Su Xiaoshan to go for a special trip, and he and Du Xiaobing will visit important people or customers in person.

Lu Dong came out of the factory and received a call from Director Zhao. The University City Chamber of Commerce will have friendly exchanges with visiting foreign-funded enterprise representatives in the past two days. The other vice presidents are not in Quannan at present, so I can only trouble him to make a trip. .

To enjoy the convenience and status brought by the chamber of commerce, one must also bear some responsibilities. Moreover, it was Officer Zhao who called, and Lu Dong immediately responded.
