The Era of Hard Work

In the morning, after coming out of the hotel, Song Na saw Lu Dong take out the car keys from his pocket, and hurriedly asked for them.

"You're dizzy here." She went to the driver's seat: "I'll drive."

Lu Dong nodded and went to look at Du Xiaobing on the other side. Old Du waved to this side, got into another car with Qiao Weiguo, and left the parking lot first.

Song Na is still a novice, slow to start the car, slow to get out of the parking lot, and also slow to drive.

Lu Dong also came all the way from Mengxin with poor skills back then, so he knew not to rush, anyway, it was early, so just keep calm.

You can’t treat a novice driver with the requirements of a skilled driver. Many novices are fine at first, but an old driver who sits on the sidelines and always points fingers will also have problems. Even the old driver dare not even drive the car.

Back at the Innovation Port of the Provincial University, Song Na parked the car and asked, "Is it better?"

Lu Dong shook his head: "It's okay."

Song Na deliberately said angrily, "I drank so much yesterday."

Lu Dong smiled: "I didn't expect Ivan to drink so much."

The two got out of the car, and Song Na checked the time: "I'm going to the company."

Lu Dong said, "Okay, I'll find you for lunch at noon."

Back at the company, leaving the matter of Big Ivan aside, Lu Dong was busy with the work at hand, and Lu's Catering could not stop opening a store. With the 10 million interest-free loan from Weiqiao Group, the company's development speed was further accelerated.

In addition, Lu Dong asked Xue Tian to collect a large amount of relevant information about the Daocheng business district, as well as the latest newspapers in Daocheng. Whenever he had free time, he would read them carefully.

While reading an introduction to the Daocheng business district, Officer Zhao called and invited Lu Dong to attend a small banquet held by the University City Management Committee in a few days.

Lu Dong naturally complied.

The association between the University City Chamber of Commerce and the Qingzhao Chamber of Commerce in other cities in the province.

Local people who develop in other places tend to form groups, and some will set up chambers of commerce. Those who go out of the country will naturally have connections with their hometowns.

For this fraternity, the chamber of commerce from the peninsula area came here.

Lu's Catering will soon open up the peninsula market, and Lu Dong has the title of vice president of the local chamber of commerce on his head, so he naturally wants to make good use of this favorable condition.

Later, there were invitation calls for other activities.

I don't know what happened today, but Lu Dong received a lot of invitations.

Invited by the county certificate to the seminar on the future development plan of Qingzhao, the county government invited him to participate in the preparatory meeting for the preparatory work of the Cultural Tourism City...

Also, Jiao Shougui called and invited Lv Dong to attend the opening ceremony of his shop at the intersection of the center after renovation.

With the continuous expansion of the network of contacts, similar communication between public and private is inevitable.

There was no way to push these things away, so Lu Dong complied with all of them.

In the middle of the afternoon, someone from the county delivered the invitation letter to the company.

Du Xiaobing happened to be there too, seeing Lu Dong accepting the invitation letter, he took it curiously and said, "You are not like my father as a committee member."

Lu Dong knew that Du Xiaobing's father was a member of the certificate carrying committee of Quannan City, and asked, "Why doesn't it look like it?"

Du Xiaobing said: "My dad's committee member just wanted to take advantage of this status to gain benefits and convenience. He never cared about duties and the like, and he didn't care about them. Every time he held a meeting, he would either turn them down or find other interfaces. What can’t be rejected is also going to the meeting place to sleep, and I have never written the proposal myself, I just find someone to mess around with the errands.”

Lu Dong was not surprised: "There are quite a few similar ones on Qingzhao's side."

Du Xiaobing asked: "Is this the majority?"

"It's hard to say." Lu Dong just wanted to do what he should do: "In my opinion, rights and obligations are equal."

Du Xiaobing sometimes admires Lv Dong: "It's not like you are so dedicated to the development of your hometown."

Lu Dong told the truth: "If Quanqingzhao develops, our company, and Lujia Village, are already at the forefront. Will it develop better? When the general environment improves, the company will definitely have better development. .”

Du Xiaobing nodded: "It makes sense."

Lu Dong pointed to the invitation letter, and further said: "Let's just say this, Qingzhao has finalized the cultural tourism development plan, the first phase will be a comprehensive survey of the Qingzhao River and several major landscapes along the river within five kilometers north of Qingzhao County. The construction and renovation of Fangxiang, which involves many industries such as construction, transportation, catering and tourism, will bring countless opportunities.”

Du Xiaobing is not what he used to be. He has been the vice president of business in Lu's Catering for so long, and he still has at least a sense of business. Hearing Lu Dong's words at this time, he is also thinking about it.

Lu Dong continued: "Not to mention the jobs provided and the economic stimulus along the route, for Lujia Village, only the two items of construction and catering can bring huge income."

Hearing this, Du Xiaobing suddenly thought of the most important business of Lujiacun Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. - the maintenance and construction of ancient buildings.

The construction company of Lujia Village has already made preliminary preparations in Moquan Park and Li Qingzhao's former residence, and construction will start soon. From this alone, Lujia Village is estimated to be able to make a lot of money.

Thinking about it carefully, Luozhuang Han Tomb, Professor Fan, ancient buildings, Lujia Construction Company, and Lu Dong's new road to promote Lujia Village is to borrow the overall development trend of Qingzhao County.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Dong has worked hard for his family and the Lujia Village where his family is located.

Du Xiaobing also thought of his family, and said, "Is Qingzhao attracting foreign investment?"

To tell the truth from old Du Ludong: "Most of the funds for the cultural tourism plan are raised by Qingzhao through financial loans, and of course they will also attract foreign investment."

Du Xiaobing felt that this was an opportunity, and said: "I will tell my family later, if my family is interested, you can help introduce it."

Lu's catering often borrows the convenience of Lao Du's house through Lao Du, and of course Lu Dong will not refuse: "Okay, you ask, it's confirmed, I will take you to the county seat."

He reminded Lao Du: "For such a big move, there must be people who are watching, sooner rather than later."

Du Xiaobing said with a smile: "I know, when I go back this weekend, I will tell my dad that there is a big project that can distract his energy and eyes, so that he won't just stare at other people's one-acre land."

Lu Dong understood that the one-acre-three-point land that Lao Du mentioned belonged to Sun Sha's family.

Old Du said before that Sun Sha's family is no worse than his. Her father is a single descendant, and in Sun Sha's generation, she is also an only child.

Lu Dong looked at Lao Du sympathetically: "It's really not possible, then you will go to the peninsula to stay for half a year."

After a while, Lu's Catering will join Ginza and Guangmei to open the peninsula market.

"It's useless." Du Xiaobing shook his head: "I can't keep in touch with my family? Where to stay, I still come to the door."

He took pleasure in bitterness and sighed: "Lu Dong, why do you think I am so attractive?"

Lu Dong's sympathy disappeared, and he deliberately said: "If you can't do it, you can just let it go, Lao Du, you can marry Sun Sha, her only daughter, this is called money and money."

Old Du adjusted the buttons of his shirt and snorted, "Arranging for Sun Sha? I might as well go to Ning Xue."

Lu Dong hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I've met both of them before. Sun Sha is just open-minded and loves to play and make trouble. In comparison, her mind is relatively simple. Ning Xue is not an ordinary person. , ordinary women can't compare."

Du Xiaobing said: "Forget it, I'm still safe and sound." He muttered: "What kind of evil have I committed? The women I meet are more unreliable than each other."

Lu Dong couldn't help laughing: "You are a murderer."

"Don't talk about me." Du Xiaobing raised his legs and said, "In two years, you won't be much better. At that time, you don't have to do anything, and beautiful women will automatically jump to your side. Don't look at you now. , is like a rock, whether it can withstand it at that time is another matter.”

Lu Dong said: "It depends on the person, it depends on the ability of self-discipline."

Du Xiaobing said: "Don't overestimate yourself."

The two talked for a while, and a phone call came. Mu Kun brought someone over and went directly to the distribution center under construction.

Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing rushed over immediately.

The construction of the distribution center started in early July, and more than a month later, some buildings have been erected, and the concrete pavement has been paved to cover every part of the courtyard.

Sitting in the communication room built at the entrance, Mu Kun and Wei Yong were blowing on the air conditioner, looking through the window from time to time at the busy construction site not far away.

"Fast enough." Wei Yong lit a cigarette: "The last time I came here, it was still a wasteland, and the main body will be built soon."

Mu Kun sipped his tea: "This is called China's speed. Our country's infrastructure construction, how can it not be as fast as flying? Business people like us, as long as we relax and want to rest, we can't keep up with the development of the times."

While talking, Du Xiaobing drove into the courtyard and came to the reception room with Lu Dong.

"Brother Wei, Brother Mu." Lu Dong said with a smile, "Why did you come here? Didn't you just say go directly to the company?"

Mu Kun said: "I pressed the car to come here, let's do business first, wait for you to pick up the car, and then talk about other things."

This time, Lu Dong ordered a batch of cold chain transport vehicles from his side. The first batch of goods arrived, and they were sent here immediately. It happened that Wei Yong was also in Quannan, so he happened to come over to have a look.

Su Xiaoshan is right here, leading someone to inspect the car.

Wei Yong looked outside and asked, "Lv Dong, your development is fast enough."

Lu Dong said: "It's been a year and a half since the company was established, and we can barely make some achievements."

"This is not an achievement." Wei Yong roughly understood: "Your layout in the middle of Taidong is basically completed."

Lu Dong smiled: "Almost."

The central part of Taidong, with Quannan as the core, radiates to five or six surrounding cities, and its tentacles are still extending to Liaocheng, Kite City and Mengcheng.

In addition to the company's independent development, it also followed Ginza and Guangmei to enclose land in surrounding cities.

Mu Kun said at this time: "Those 4S stores in my family will open soon. If you need a car in the future, you have to take care of my family."

Lu Dong said: "It goes without saying, Brother Mu, where can I find the price you give in the market?"

Du Xiaobing and Mu Kun are close buddies, and he said: "Don't fool us with messy things."

"No way." Mu Kun laughed: "You are my big customers."

Enterprises like Lu's Catering will need more cars in the future. Besides, there is a Lujia Village behind Lu Dong. In Lujia Village, there are Lujia Food Company and a construction company, especially the latter, which is a big car user.

The reception room was very simple, but the four of them talked and laughed, and the chat was full of enthusiasm.

In terms of business, to a certain extent, new friends can no longer be pure friendship, and will inevitably involve commercial interests. This is the most normal situation.

Everyone has come, it is impossible for Lu Dong to just let Mu Kun and Wei Yong go back, and hold a banquet that night, and drink in a hurry.
