The Era of Hard Work

Located in the Ginza commercial building in the middle of Beiyuan Road, Lu’s Catering is still open with three stores. Like the Qiansheng Commercial Building on Quannan Road, it is only one aisle away from Guangmei Electric Appliances occupying the first floor, and the basement floor downstairs is connected to the parking lot There is a Ginza supermarket connected to it, and the second, third and fourth floors upstairs are the comprehensive Ginza shopping mall.

This is the largest comprehensive store in the northern part of Quannan, and it has attracted much attention since its construction.

There are many wholesale markets like Luokou Clothing City in the north of Quannan, but they tend to be mid-to-high-end stores, and Beiyuan Ginza is the first.

The speed of Lu's Catering is very fast. As soon as the store was handed over, it immediately started to decorate. After opening the store many times, the relevant decoration plan also has a mature and reliable template. The team at Xie Gong's team is very familiar with it.

As before, the three stores here will be the first to open before the opening of Guangmei and Ginza at the end of March.

The existing successful model is far from outdated for now.

Walking around the shopping mall under renovation, Fan Yunming, the person in charge of Guangmei Electric Taidong Region, said to Lu Dong: "Our Mr. Huang has learned about Lu's Catering's help to Guangmei, and he intends to invite Mr. Lu to come when the time is right A trip to the capital."

Lu Dong smiled and said, "It's an honor for Lu's Catering, but it's too troublesome."

Fan Yunming said: "I just want to say hello first, it may not be until the second half of the year or the end of the year, when Guangmei holds a partner conference."

According to Lu Dong's vision, Lu's Catering must come out of Quannan and Taidong one day, and said: "Guangmei has an invitation, and Lu's Catering will definitely come."

Lu's Catering is just an inconspicuous small partner of Guangmei Electric, even if Mr. Huang is in trouble in the future, it will not fall on Lu's Catering.

Besides, in another two or three years, whether Guangmei Electric and Lu's Catering will continue to cooperate is still a matter of debate.

Hearing the invitation from the almost legendary Mr. Huang, Du Xiaobing was a little excited, straightened his suit and tie, and said, "Mr. Fan, Mr. Huang is our idol."

Anyone can brag about business, Fan Yunming said at the right time: "Mr. Lu and Mr. Du are not bad at all."

Of course, what Guangmei values ​​is the local contacts and resources behind Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing.

The two parties can be said to be in the honeymoon period of cooperation. After chatting for a while, Fan Yunming said goodbye and left. Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing went to the renovated store to have a look, and left the mall through the main entrance.

Du Xiaobing's suit and leather shoes are completely different from the previous sportswear students' style. Not only does he have the temperament of a business elite on the outside, but he has gradually matured.

"Professor Yang's set of site selection criteria, I recently had someone try it." Du Xiaobing stood under the sun, his whole body was sunny: "The targets of the experiment are Shilipu Market, Long-distance Coach and Daguanyuan. We are very familiar with the actual application of these circles, and the data obtained from the site selection criteria can be verified with each other.”

Lu Dong nodded slightly, and asked, "How was the result?"

Du Xiaobing said: "Most of them are good. I'm adjusting a few of them. I'll talk about it when it's finished. Professor Yang is not a pure theoretical school, and the standards he entrusted to us are very practical."

Lu Dong said: "According to the actual situation of the company, make some adjustments, and it will be really useful when it expands to other places."

Du Xiaobing asked: "Where did you choose for the first step out of Quannan?"

Lu Dong smiled and said: "Let's ensure Quannan's store opening plan first, and follow the pace of Ginza and Guangmei when we enter other places. Of course, in business matters, we can't put the treasure on others. I generally have an idea here. Old Du, do you know Pingcheng?"

"Pingcheng where Weiqiao Cotton Factory is located?" Of course Du Xiaobing had heard of it.

Lu Dong said directly: "The distance is close enough, the economy is developing very fast, and there are a large number of young people with relatively high incomes. I have entrusted someone to do some preliminary work here, and we will go over next month to see the details. "

Song Na's cousin, Xia Tian, ​​gave Song Na some information and photos some time ago. The two of them planned to get through this stage and go to Pingcheng to take a closer look.

At present, the focus is still in Quannan. Except for the three stores in Beiyuan Ginza, the stores in the Long-distance Bus Station Terminal, Daguanyuan and Shilibao have all negotiated leases. Lu's Catering can't open a restaurant at one time while retaining a sufficient amount of cash flow. Multiple stores.

As for McDonald's and KFC, on the basis of self-operated, to further develop the franchise model, the reputation and strength of Lu's Catering is not allowed at present.

The influence of the three major brands under Lu's Catering has not yet reached this level.

Du Xiaobing looked at the brand new gold watch on his wrist: "I won't talk to you anymore, I have an appointment at noon, you can find a place to have lunch by yourself."

Lu Dong asked curiously, "A woman?"

Du Xiaobing smiled and said: "Yes, female." With Lu Dong, he didn't have to play tricks: "My mother has a friend who insists on introducing me to someone. There is no way, I have to go there at noon."

Lu Dong laughed: "Old Du, I wish you a successful blind date."

Du Xiaobing walked towards the car and waved his hands back: "This kind of blind date on the way to get married feels very awkward."

Lu Dong said casually: "A blind date that is not for the purpose of marriage is a hooligan!"

Du Xiaobing didn't speak any more, got into the car and left.

Lu Dong also had something to do here, so he called Uncle Seven, who was chatting and farting with people in the store, and went to the vicinity of the Provincial University. A few days ago, Ma Ming called and asked when Lu Dong could come to Quannan. Professor Fan wanted Another treat.

The old professor treats guests, of course he has to show face, besides, he is a very famous folk historian in the whole country.

As far as Taidong is concerned, the Provincial University is the highest institution of learning. Unlike a province with a large population and a large traditional culture, there are currently only three 211 universities, namely the Provincial University, Ocean University and Petroleum University.

If you want to find an expert to help, the best goal is the provincial university.

Although the provincial university has various problems, it is not a school of the provincial university, but a common problem in colleges and universities across the country.

Driving on Beiyuan Street, Lu Jianren looked at all kinds of KTVs, nightclubs, and bathing centers, and said, "The business here is big, and it's all obvious. Look at the university town, everyone in this business has to be sneaky." Yes, it’s better for your brother, hold on tight all the time.”

Lu Dong glanced out of the car window: "This is not a matter that Lu Chun is in. Uncle Qi, even if my brother is transferred here to be the director, there is still no way."

Lu Jianren thought about it carefully: "Well, self-protection is a problem." He couldn't help but said: "It is said that the money is very fast in this business."

Lu Dong said: "No matter how much money you make, you can't touch illegal and criminal activities."

Suddenly, Lu Dong thought of Nail, but with him and the developed Lujia Village, Nail would not go astray because of lack of money.

Needless to say, there are some things that should be pulled, Lu Dong has never been vague.

The two rushed to the vicinity of the Provincial University, and met Ma Ming and Professor Fan in a private room of a restaurant.

Ma Ming asked the waiter to start serving the dishes. Professor Fan sat next to Lu Dong and said with a sigh of relief: "I just learned more about the incident last time. Lu Dong, don't talk about anything else. If you and Jian... ..."

He originally wanted to be called Jianren, but he felt that this name was not very good, so he quickly changed his words: "If it weren't for you and Lao Qi, something really happened, and I wouldn't be able to explain it to the school and the parents of the students!"

Regardless of other things, Professor Fan's age is here, and Lu Dong said quickly: "Professor Fan, you are too polite, I just ran into it. Ma Ming and I are brothers, and I can't ignore it when he encounters this kind of thing." .”

That's what he said, but Professor Fan didn't think so: "I thought it was just helping the village bandits and bullies. The latest developments over there, these people have seven or eight lives in their hands! Many of them are foreigners... Hey, it's all my fault I don’t know what is good or bad, and almost brought people to a dead end!”

Lu Jianren answered, "These grandsons really dare to do it!"

Lu Jianren knew quite a few of the gangsters and outlaws on Qingzhao's side, but almost none of them dared to do this.

Ma Ming then said: "Uncle Qi, I originally thought it was just talking about troublesome people in poor mountains and rivers."

"It's not just talking." Lu Jianren smiled inexplicably.

It seems appropriate to apply these words to him.

When the food came, Ma Ming opened the wine, and Lu Jianren held down the wine glass, very consciously: "I have to drive, so I won't drink the wine."

Professor Fan is not reluctant: "Yes, you can't drink while driving, safety first."

What happened last time changed the old professor's thinking to a certain extent.

If he didn't run in time, maybe he would have to confess there. Even if his life was safe, if someone broke a leg or an arm, the responsibility would not be so great.

Professor Fan wanted to offer a toast to Lu Dong, but Lu Dong moved faster and toasted him first.

The four of them had the experience of rushing out of the siege together last time, and their relationship became somewhat closer.

Ma Ming said about Liu Wanwan's group: "The court trial just started last week. Several leaders were sentenced to death in the first trial, and the rest of the members were also severely punished!"

In the context of the crackdown, the fate of this group of people can be imagined.

After chatting about Liu Wanwan and the temple, Lu Dong shifted the topic to folk archeology and Lujia Village in due course: "Professor Fan, there is an old street in our Lujia Village, which relatively completely preserves the buildings from the Republic of China era, and some even It can be tracked to the end of the Qing Dynasty, and I don’t know exactly, but the oldest columbarium must have existed for more than a hundred years.”

Lu Jianren knew more than Lu Dong: "The columbarium has been around for more than a hundred years, and the records on the genealogy alone can date back to one hundred and fifty years ago."

In front of such experts and professors as Professor Fan, Lu Jianren had a bit of a point, and he didn't mention the rumors about the columbarium being haunted and the big rabbit being charming.

Professor Fan was very interested: "I'm busy with a project here, which is the folk architecture in the Taidong area. Can I go and have a look?"

That's what Lu Dong originally meant, and he said, "When a scholar like you comes, the Lu Family Village will flourish."

Professor Fan thought for a while and said, "I may not have time until next week. After the time is set, let Ma Ming contact you?"

Lu Dong said, "Okay!"

This week, Lujia Village also has no time, because they are busy with the listing of Taidong Provincial Wenming Village.
