The Era of Hard Work

Boom—boom—

With the explosion of the salute, many people on the pedestrian street turned their heads to look, and saw Jay Chou, who is now so red to purple, cutting the ribbon with two other young people under a huge arch of opening ceremony.

Just behind them, two closely connected stores officially opened, and the huge signs of Burger King and Lu's Hot Pot caught the eyes of every passerby.

People who live in Shanghai are not unfamiliar with this. Recently, on Dragon TV, Jay Chou's endorsement filmed commercials have been broadcasting.

Afterwards, Jay Chou stepped onto the temporary stage in front of the store and sang "Love in BC".

After a song was sung and Jay Chou left, Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing stood at the door of a store, fulfilling the promise of the previous advertisement, and the general manager gave a red envelope on the opening day!

Jay Chou, who released his second album this year, has an extremely strong appeal among young people, and the advertisements are in place. The new store has only been open for more than half an hour, and it is already full.

Diagonally opposite, after Song Na personally sold the new hexagram silver pendant to a customer, she came to the door of the Warm Warehouse and glanced at Lu Dong over there through the brand new glass door.

The flagship store of Warm Warehouse in Modu opened yesterday, and the fashionable and exquisite accessories have attracted many customers.

Soon, Song Na had to give up the position at the entrance of the store, and more and more people were entering the store.

This morning, the celebrity was in the store to promote, which was quite a gimmick.

The female celebrity surnamed Li is in the store at the moment, so of course she doesn't need to promote, the celebrity is more of a model.

When it was almost noon, the female star was about to withdraw, and her manager took her to the lounge on the second floor to say hello to Song Na.

"Mr. Song, I'm leaving first. If you have something to do, please contact me at any time."

The female star's words are quite polite. For a person who is seven or eight years younger than her, it is not easy to do such a large-scale business.

There are more than 200 chain stores in six or seven provinces in the north, and the business has expanded to the national economic center. The next time is to open the southern market. The net worth of hundreds of millions and billions is just a matter of two years.

It's a pity that she is a woman, and she is not interested in the entertainment industry, otherwise she can find a way to get a financial backer.

Song Na smiled and said, "Let's go back after lunch."

The manager hurriedly said: "President Song, no need, we have to catch a flight, and there is an announcement tonight."

Song Na shook hands with the two of them next to each other: "I'll ask someone to arrange a car to take you off."

The female star quickly said, "Thank you Mr. Song."

By lunch time, the passenger flow had dropped, and after having a working meal with some employees, Song Na went out to meet Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing, and went directly to the Pudong New Area.

Near the outskirts of the city, a large-scale catering distribution center has already been built.

This is not only a warehouse and a transshipment center, but also serves as the office of Lu's Catering Magic City branch.

Lu Dong met Du Jia, who was in charge of the business in Shanghai, and Du Xiaobing and Song Na, who were the vice presidents, and the four of them had a simple meeting.

Du Jia focused on the progress of the work. Lu's Catering will open 15 stores in Shanghai within a month, and the total number of stores in Shanghai will reach 100 in the next year.

The suppliers and downstream processors here have all set up a network, and all kinds of work are being carried out in an orderly manner.

The meeting lasted less than an hour. Du Jia had a client come to visit, and Lu Dong ended the meeting directly.

Du Xiaobing loosened his tie: "Du Jia has picked up the burden, just leave it to him."

Lu Dong asked, "Old Du, come back with me in a few days?"

Du Xiaobing shook his head straight: "I'm going to go south, go to Hangzhou, why go back to Quannan? Waste of time."

Song Na filled the glasses of water for the three of them: "In such a hurry? Lu Dong didn't squeeze you, didn't the plan start after the Chinese New Year?"

"Hey..." Du Xiaobing heaved a long sigh: "Modu is not safe anymore."

Lu Dong understood the meaning of these words: "Understand, understand."

Song Na remained silent, first she sighed for Lao Du in her heart, and then she felt lucky, it was not easy to meet the right person at the right time.

She met Lu Dong in the first year of high school, because Lu Dong was a sports student for a short time, and became a good friend. After graduating from high school, they met in the university town. They set up a stall and started a business together.

Du Xiaobing said: "I'll go back when the Chinese New Year is approaching. Have you guys moved to a new house? After the New Year's Eve, if I have no place to go, Lu Dong, I'll go to your place. You can't leave me alone!"

"No problem." Lu Dong drank his saliva, "You are welcome anytime."

Song Na thought for a while and said, "Old Du, have a good talk with your family."

"Talking won't solve the problem." Du Xiaobing shrugged: "It's not that we haven't talked about it, it doesn't work."

The relationship between Song Na and Lu Dong has always been smooth and smooth. They have never experienced anything similar, and they have no experience at all, so they don't know what to say.

Lu Dong came up with a bad idea: "Let me tell you, Lao Du, if it really doesn't work, you just find one, and when the time comes, bring Uncle Du's grandson back home, and all problems will be solved."

Du Xiaobing pointed at Lu Dong and just smiled.

Song Na patted Lu Dong: "What kind of idea did you come up with? It's just nonsense."

Du Xiaobing thought for a while: "After two years, let's see the situation, it's really not good..."

Lu Dong was joking to try to persuade him, so he hurriedly said: "Old Du, there are thousands and thousands of weights that are not as important as family members, so I will just say it casually, don't be fooled."

Song Na simply changed the subject: "Old Du, you are here, did you go to the real estate?"

"Are you going to buy a house again?" Du Xiaobing knew what these two people wanted to do when he heard Song Na say this: "Go to Pudong to buy it, the price is relatively cheap now, and I feel that the future development prospect is very good, I heard from Du Juan , with the current policy and economic environment, housing prices in big cities will experience explosive growth in at most three or four years."

Lu Dong said: "Tomorrow, let's go to the Chrysanthemum Garden first, it's a nice place."

Du Xiaobing asked: "On the riverside?"

Lu Dong nodded lightly: "Almost."

Du Xiaobing said: "Let's go and see together tomorrow."

The three of them were talking, when someone knocked on the door and came in, speaking Mandarin with a southern accent: "Mr. Du, Mr. Zhu from next door is here."

Du Xiaobing called Lu Dong and Song Na to go out: "I would like to introduce someone to you. He is our neighbor who owns an internet company. Lu Dong, just like you, he is also a fan."

Came to a reception room, a man in his early thirties was waiting inside.

He is not tall, more than half a head shorter than Lu Dong, wearing a dark casual suit, wearing a black scarf, with his hands in the pockets of his trousers, he looks very stylish.

The important thing is that Lu Dong looked familiar.

Du Xiaobing went over to shake hands with someone: "Mr. Zhu, why do you have time to come here today?"

The man smiled and said, "There is a party tomorrow, and I want to ask you to go with me."

His eyes fell on Lu Dong and Song Na who was holding Lu Dong's arm.

Apart from being tall and strong, the man is ordinary, while the woman is very beautiful. Although her skin is wheat-colored, even winter clothes can't hide her good figure.

"Let me introduce." Du Xiaobing introduced first: "This is Zhu Jun, the president of the Internet company diagonally opposite."

He then introduced Lu Dong: "Mr. Zhu, this is Lu Dong, the general manager of Lu's Catering. He is the boss, and I'm just a part-time worker."

Lu Dong already looked familiar, but when he heard Du Xiaobing's introduction, he immediately remembered who this was, the famous head of Jiucun Village.

Zhu Jun University is in Shanghai, and there are certain connections in Shanghai itself. By chance, I met Du Xiaobing at a business promotion conference organized by the government. The two have a lot of common topics in sports. Recently, it is more familiar to go back and forth.

At this point, it is impossible to have a pure relationship. Zhu Jun also did some research. Lu's Catering came in through the channel of attracting investment, so it is not difficult to inquire about the relevant situation.

This is a fast-growing chain catering company, which is in a period of rapid growth, and the chain catering companies with hot business are all cash cows.

At present, there are more than 300 chain stores. Jiucun, who has just set foot in the virtual community, is like a younger brother in front of people.

Zhu Jun stepped forward and took the initiative to shake hands with Lu Dong: "Mr. Lu, I often hear Mr. Du mentioning you. It is really a great honor to meet you when you are famous."

This person is not very old at first glance, it doesn't matter if he has no influence behind him, even if he kills Zhu Jun, he won't believe it.

Du Xiaobing also introduced: "This is Song Na, Mr. Song, the shareholder of Lu's Catering, the general manager of Wenxin Trading, and the newly opened Xinxin Store in the pedestrian street is hers."

Zhu Jun greeted Song Na and said, "I've seen the advertisement of Warm Business, a female celebrity surnamed Li."

Song Na smiled and said, "Yes."

After a few pleasantries, the four of them sat down and chatted. Zhu Jun kept talking about the development of his company and the Internet intentionally or unintentionally.

"Nine Village's business is mainly on the Internet, and it is the first company in the country to create an online virtual community." Zhu Jun talked eloquently: "I plan to get involved in online games next year, and I have already started talking with Korean companies. You can get a proxy."

Lu Dong's memories of Jiucun and Zhu Jun are mostly from "World of Warcraft", especially the "Internet Addiction War", but whoever plays games has nothing to care about the past development of game companies.

He asked, "An online game like Shanda's "Legend"?"

Zhu Jun said: "Similarly, I tried the test version in South Korea, and the playability is far superior to "Legend". As long as you get the agency rights, with Nine Village's strength over Shanda, it will become an epoch-making online game. "

Seeing that Lu Dong answered the words, Zhu Jun snaked his stick: "Mr. Lu is interested in the Internet and online games?"

Lu Dong half-truthfully said: "I invested in a company that opened a chain of Internet cafes in Quannan, and cooperated with Shanda, so I know a little bit about it."

Zhu Jun said with a smile: "It turns out that Lu is always an insider."

Lu Dong waved his hand: "Not really."

Zhu Jun was very talkative, and then he talked to Lu Dong and Song Na about topics such as Shanghai and Quannan.

The two sides are not familiar with each other. When leaving, Zhu Jun specifically talked about the party with Du Xiaobing, and invited him by the way: "Mr. Du, Mr. Song, there is a party here in the circle tomorrow afternoon, let's go and see it together?"

More exchanges can enhance understanding and build a network of relationships.
