Hello, I'm He Yuzhu

Chapter 686 Opening a Restaurant
"Grandpa, uncle, aunt..."

"Brother and sister, open the door!"

Before the two sons could argue, Xiao Yusheng was already outside, slapping the door with his tender little hands.

Liu Yatou opened the door and picked up the Nunuuo baby.

"It's so early for the rain to start messing around."

"Auntie, I have changed into new clothes."

In the morning, Li Jinxin got up and changed his son into a blue dress with white spots.

It's the kind of clothes that look like a bag, tied with two ropes at the back.

Seeing how cute he was, Liu girl put a dot on his forehead with lipstick.

The next guy can show off, making everyone laugh.

After Li Haijun had breakfast, he rode on his bicycle to deliver things to his husband's house.

When we arrived at the old man's house, Seventh Boy hadn't gotten up yet, still lying on the bed.

But when he came, Seventh Boy couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

Yawning: "Where are my sister and the child?"

Li Haijun: "It's such a cold day, I didn't let them toss."

"How much did you like?"

Seventh Boy stopped Mother Song: "Mom, how much did I like?"

Song's mother: "Three or two thousand is available, why?"

"Lack of money?"

Li Haijun smiled and said, "No, I'm just asking."

"I got news that the economic reform will take place within a year at most, and then we can start doing business."

"However, we are still crossing the river by feeling the stones. I plan to cooperate with the state-run hotel and implement the contract system."

Seventh Boy: "You can start your own business, why let the state-run restaurants take advantage?"

Li Haijun: "Because we cooperate with state-run restaurants, although we earn less money, we don't have so many troubles. If there is any problem, the government will come forward to protect us. Moreover, it is still a planned economy!"

"Cooperating with the government, we don't have to worry about supplies."

"These are temporary, and this is the only way to go in the initial stage. When the transition is smooth, we will be able to put aside everything and do business alone."

Seventh boy: "Well, I will listen to you."

Li Haijun: "Don't save money if you have money, the bank only has a few interest money."

"It's better to buy a house with it. Recently, many people have been rehabilitated and their houses have been returned."

Seventh Boy: "There is no shortage of places to live. Why buy a house? It's a waste of money."

Li Haijun: "How much does it cost to buy a courtyard house now?"

"You wait for ten or 20 years, and you just don't do anything. When the time comes, sell the house and live comfortably for the rest of your life."

Seventh Boy: "I bought a house, won't I be out of money when I contract a state-run hotel?"

Father Song: "Navy, can this house be like what you said?"

"Dad, our Forty-Nine City is the capital, the economic center, right at the center, and it is destined to be the city with the highest housing prices in the country in the future."

"Moreover, buying a house is the obsession of us Chinese people. Now that the economy has opened up, there will be commercial housing in the future..."

Li Haijun explained to his father-in-law the future real estate market.

Father Song nodded: "Then buy it."

"Anyway, it's not a loss. If you're short of money, it's a big deal to sell it later."

Song's mother: "We have saved money for the rest of our lives, so why don't we keep it in the coffin?"

"I also agree to buy."

Li Haijun said with a smile: "If there are tenants, don't buy it. Just buy something that is worry-free. Even if you don't live in it, you don't want to rent it out. Just lock the door."

Li Haijun didn't stay long and went home before lunch.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Jinxin went to the factory and resigned.

But the factory was poor, so they gave a few hundred yuan.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

In December, at the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, China began to implement the policy of internal reform and opening to the outside world.

Li Haijun found Director Wang.

"Navy, you're here."

"Director Wang, I have something to ask!"

Director Wang is now the director of the district government, not the director of the street.

"Navy, tell me, if there is any difficulty, I will definitely help you."

Li Haijun said with a smile: "There is no difficulty. Didn't you read the newspaper and say reform and opening up?"

"I want to ask if I can do business."

Director Wang got up and closed the door.

"Navy, you are still groping, are you too impatient!"

Li Haijun: "I have seen vendors walking around the streets."

Director Wang: "There is no other way. Many educated youths have returned to the city without jobs, so they can only develop the street stall economy."

"But this kind of small fight, can you appreciate it?"

Li Haijun: "I want to contract a state-run hotel."

Director Wang: "I'm afraid it won't work, there is no such precedent."

Li Haijun: "I'm talking about cooperation, not my own private business."

"I cooperate with a state-run restaurant and contract the kitchen, and the profit is [-]-[-] with the state-run restaurant."

Director Wang: "Well, it's not impossible to study it."

"As long as you don't deliberately take advantage of the public, you should be fine."

Director Wang: "It's just that state-run restaurants are profitable, so I'm afraid it's not easy to manage."

Li Haijun: "Isn't it economic reform? We must take this step."

"Of course, I guarantee that the profit is not as good as before, and I will make up for it from my own pocket."

Director Wang: "You go back and wait for the letter first. Let's have a meeting to study it, or report to the superior."

Li Haijun nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and wait for the letter."

"If the higher-ups don't agree, just help me get a business license and I'll open a restaurant."

"Don't worry, I can still apply for a business license for you."

Within a few days, Director Wang wrote a letter.

Regarding the cooperation with the state-run restaurant, the higher-ups did not agree, but the higher-ups agreed that he wanted to open a restaurant.

After all, he is from Forty-Nine City, the first person to propose to open a private restaurant.

Like other centuries-old shops, they are still public-private partnerships.

With the help of Director Wang, Li Haijun began to look for a place to open a shop.

Wangfujing Street, Li Haijun bought a store here.

There is a shop in the front, and the director in the back, with a private courtyard.

Money is not an issue, Li Haijun mainly likes this location.

The busiest place is Wangfujing, and on the left is the Beijing Department Store.

On the right is Dongfeng Market, with many people, bustling and lively.

After buying the house, Li Haijun hadn't renovated it yet, and the business license came down.

Li Haijun asked someone to paint one side of the house, replaced several high-wattage light bulbs, and lit a coal stove in the house.

Find a carpenter, make brand new tables, chairs and benches, and hang the business license on the wall.

We chose an auspicious day and opened for business.

Originally, I wanted to open it quietly, but I thought it was still bustling.

Although it is a bit high-profile, it can attract the attention of the people above. If there is any problem, everyone will intervene.

Li Haijun's idea is that since he is crossing the river by feeling the stones, he should be the vanguard.

If there are any problems, the people above will definitely intervene, after all, economic reforms have been proposed.

There must be a test subject, yes, Li Haijun wants to be this test subject.

On the opening day, Li Haijun posted the menu outside the restaurant. Although there was also a menu on the wall inside the restaurant, he was afraid of people who didn't know the truth and the food was too expensive, so he didn't dare to come in.

There are many people watching the excitement outside, and they even remember it.

Li Haijun was not timid, and instead launched several special dishes.

Not for anything else, just for the opening to attract popularity.

Many people hesitated because they were afraid. They used to eat at state-run restaurants, but this one is a private restaurant.

Many people are afraid of being implicated, and they will be blamed.

Li Haijun had no choice but to move out a stool, stand on it, and loudly proclaimed that the economy had been reformed and private businesses were allowed.

But some people still dare not. There are many leading cadres in the crowd, and these people are frowning.

"This is not good, the masses dare not go in!
"That's right. This is the first private restaurant in Forty-Nine City. If it fails like this, won't our economic reform become empty talk?"

After discussing with each other, these people walked in and became the first customer of Li's Restaurant.

Some people have sharp eyes, saw these people, and some knew them.

There was a lot of discussion.

"Isn't this Director Xu?"

"That's our Chief Wei..."

Leading cadres took the lead, and bold people also came in.

The menu on the wall has prices, and the corresponding food stamps, meat tickets, vegetable tickets, and how much you need.

Everyone ordered according to the menu, and Li Jinxin cameo as the waiter who ordered.

Seeing Li Jinxin standing aside with a pen and paper in his hand, his service attitude was something these people had never experienced before.

For a while, someone whispered.

"This is something you can't feel in a state-run hotel!"

"That's right, we also spend money to eat in state-run restaurants, and it depends on people's faces, and the attitude is even worse..."

The words of the masses reached the ears of some leaders, which was very harsh.

But theirs has to be heard, because it is the voice of the masses.

Li Haijun and Seventh Boy started to get busy in the back kitchen.

When the dishes are ready, Sun Fengling will pass them on.

"It was brought here?"

someone exclaimed.

"Ha, let's have a taste first."

"Huo, it's much more delicious than state-run restaurants. In comparison, state-run restaurants make pig food."

"I will never go to a state-run restaurant to find trouble again!"

"That's right, the food here is delicious and not expensive."

Someone shouted: "Comrade, do you have any wine?"

Li Jinxin smiled and said, "Yes, yes."

"However, we don't want to call comrades here. We are waiters, people who serve the masses."

"Okay, waiter, how much is Niulanshan Erguotou?"

Li Jinxin pointed to the wine shelf behind him: "Erguotou is two yuan and five yuan, and other wines also have price tags on them."

Someone walks over to see the price of the wine and then sees the deli food on the counter.

At noon, there are a lot of people. If it is changed to another place, there may not be so many people.

But this is Wangfujing, and Li Haijun and the others have been busy until three years in the afternoon before they can take a breather.

Seventh Boy: "Navy, this won't work, I'm too tired."

"No one helped me when I was cooking."

Li Haijun: "Go to Niu San at night, Liu Minggan, and ask them if they would like to help."

Seventh Boy: "Okay, but how can I pay someone else's wages?"

Li Haijun thought for a while: "Temporarily 80 yuan a month!"

Seventh Boy: "A little too much?"

Li Haijun: "Not much, let people give up their iron rice bowl, why not give more?"

Li Jinxin rubbed his arms: "Brother, Feng Ling and I are too busy."

Li Haijun: "Then recruit waiters and post recruitment information at our door, 40 yuan a month, full attendance at the end of the month, bonus, no leave, no lateness, and a bonus of [-] yuan."

"But if you want a young girl, you need a good service attitude and quick hands and feet."

Although Li Haijun gave more, the work was very tiring, and no one refuted it.

While chatting, Nanyi came with Ermao and the others.

"How about the first day of opening?"

The Seventh Boy was beaming with joy: "You didn't see it, they were all lined up at noon."

Nanyi: "Ten tables, still waiting in line?"

Seventh Boy: "Yeah, I didn't think of that either."

Li Haijun: "Are you moved?"

Nan Yi nodded.

"It's better to act than to be moved, hurry up."

"Find a place and apply for a business license. If you have a lot of family members, you don't need to hire people."

Nanyi nodded: "That's the reason."

"However, let me see what's going on here with you first."

Li Haijun said with a smile: "I can't ask for it, it just happens to be a strong labor force for you."

After four o'clock, the master started again.

With the help of Nanyi, Ermao and Sanmao, the pressure was greatly relieved.

At five o'clock, Liu Yatou and Ding Qiunan came.

Start helping when you arrive.

Nanyi saw Ding Qiunan and smiled.

Ding Qiunan still had that indifferent look, and nodded to Nanyi as a greeting.

Seventh Boy looked at Ding Qiunan, feeling sore in his heart.

He knew about Li Haijun and Ding Qiunan, but so what?
At six o'clock, Father Li and Aunt Ding came with Xiao Yusheng and four children in their arms.

This is to pick up the kids from school.

After Cui Yunbo got off work, he rushed over immediately.

Seeing a restaurant full of people, everyone started to join in.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that the ingredients in the restaurant were used up, and the restaurant closed.

Li Haijun: "On the first day, the preparations were still insufficient."

Seventh Boy: "Buy more goods tomorrow."

Li Haijun: "Close the door, lest anyone else come in."

"Sister, calculate today's turnover."

Li Haijun got into the kitchen and cooked for everyone.

It's been a busy afternoon, and I haven't even eaten a bite.

Li Jinxin is done.

Excitedly said: "Brother, I sold more than 100 today."

Li Haijun nodded: "I didn't prepare enough today. When we prepare enough in the future, the turnover will double."

After hearing this, everyone was very excited.

Nanyi looked at Liang Ladi: "Ladi, you should resign too, let's open a restaurant too."

Liang Ladi: "Okay, I'll look for a sales office tomorrow!"

Liu Yatou: "More than 100 a day, not more than 3000 a month." '

Li Haijun: "Don't be too happy."

Seventh Boy: "We still have costs!"

Li Jinxin: "I'll forget it, my brother bought the house, there is no room fee."

"After deducting the cost, our net profit is [-]%."

Li Haijun: "If we hire people, the net profit can reach half."

"But correspondingly, the money earned will double."

Li Haijun rubbed his chin: "Ask if the house next door is for sale, let's buy it for him."

"Otherwise, it will take a long time to meet customers who are drinking, which will delay our turning over and affect our money."

"If we have twenty tables, thirty tables..."

Liu Yatou: "Don't hire anyone, Qiu Nan and I will help."

Li Haijun: "No, there are everyone in this restaurant. If you encounter Jiu Mengzi, you will cause trouble."

"When people are recruited, they will all use outsiders."

"You will be responsible for collecting money and buying goods when the time comes!"
