"Okay, since you are willing, let this be your wedding day. Have you arranged all other things?"

This was Li Jianbin's marriage. Of course Liu Hongchang couldn't make the decision, so he continued to ask about other aspects.

"In what respect, are you talking about the wedding banquet? As for the banquet, I won't bother you. It's not that I don't dislike the Second Canteen, but it's just that it's too troublesome to go to the Second Canteen."

From Li Jianbin's words, we can hear some disdain for the Second Canteen.

The world is changing so fast that units like Er Canteen cannot keep up.

In the past two years, it was still a very honorable thing to hold wedding banquets and birthday banquets in the second dining hall.

But recently, Er Canteen has been unable to receive business in this area.

People with power and money always pursue the best things. After the rise of various private hotels and restaurants, Er Canteen is no longer ranked high in the catering industry in Ningzhou.

The food at Er Canteen may not be inferior to others, and the price is even more affordable.

However, in these situations where face is pursued, the decoration of the second dining hall is almost zero, which has not kept up with the times.

The middle class of ordinary people also have a variety of mid-range hotels to choose from.

The Second Canteen, which requires acquaintances and favors to host big events, has become useless.

Except for my own people in the second cafeteria, who use it to help with the seating, others will no longer choose it.

"Li Jianbin, what are you thinking about? You want to have a wedding banquet in the second dining hall. I think I can do it. You and He Wenhui are getting married, and my ex-husband will be the cook to cook the wedding banquet for you. Do you think it's appropriate? How should I introduce it to others?”

As the ex-husband of Liu Hongchang, going to a banquet is already very out of the ordinary in this era, and it is impossible for him to be a cook and prepare a banquet.

"I also took this into consideration before deciding to settle elsewhere. Brother, what aspects do you think I haven't considered yet?"

Li Jianbin took the opportunity to answer and said that he must be much smarter than before.

"After you get married, are you going to live with the He family or let the He family live here? Have you thought about it clearly?"

They say they are getting married, but in fact they are marrying into the He family. Li Jianbin's situation cannot be any better than that of Liu Hongchang.

"The conditions here are much better than those in their large courtyard. Of course I live here."

"How do you plan to divide these two rooms?"

Although people of this era are more accustomed to living together as a family, it is okay for five or six people to live in two bedrooms and one living room, but this certainly cannot include Li Jianbin, who comes from a cadre family.

"Wen Yuan will be twenty when she comes out. It should be fine for her to live alone. My plan is for her to be alone in the courtyard."

Needless to say, the remaining two members of the He family, Yu Qiuhua and primary school student He Wenda, have no problem living in the same house.

"You've thought it through quite clearly and can arrange it well. We'll just have some wedding drinks."

Excluding the situation where He Wenyuan is unwilling, Li Jianbin's plan sounds feasible.

"Definitely. When the date is determined, I will go and send invitations to my eldest brother and sister-in-law."

After talking about these, the rest is to talk about some agency dynamics.

At this stage, Liu Hongchang could not avoid getting involved with the agency.

The various mobilizations of the agency are things that Liu Hongchang must master.

Otherwise, it would be easy to not know who to turn to if something went wrong.

If you want to give gifts, you can't find the temple gate.

If you want to make money in this era, the main thing is to follow the policies.

Moreover, we know what the agency wants to do with each enterprise. There are also opportunities everywhere in sales, reorganization, and joint ventures.

When information barriers exist, how many people have made a fortune just relying on poor information.

"Maixiang, do you still like working in the bus company?"

After leaving Li Jianbin's house, Liu Hongchang asked Yang Maixiang next to him.

"Work is work, how can you like it or not?"

People in this era think more practically, and work is to support their families.

Whether you like this job or not, whether you are happy or not, is not that important.

"Then do you want to change your job?"

"How come you have learned how to twist and turn with me? Just tell me if you have any ideas?"

"I want you to work in our stationery factory?"

"What am I going to do?"

"It's the same as what you do at the bus company, which is to manage the finances."

"Don't Liu Zi manage the factory very well? Don't you trust your apprentice?" Yang Maixiang looked at Liu Hongchang in surprise.

"How could I not believe Liuzi? The factory wanted to expand its scale, and Liuzi had to work hard to manage. This informal management model is no longer enough."

By the mid-[-]s, most people had a correct understanding of self-employed small business owners.

After the importance of money is revealed, the status of these people is treated correctly.

No formal employee of a state-owned unit will look down on a private boss.

After private bosses are no longer looked down upon, there is no need for Yang Maixiang to still work for the bus company.

“When did you decide to expand?”

"I just heard Jianbin say that many factories in the city are going to be restructured."

When state-owned enterprises undergo restructuring, that is when private enterprises are most suitable for expansion and growth.

The opportunity was missed and there were no readily available resources to take it.

If you miss the ready-made factory buildings and workers, you really miss it.

There is only so much land in the city. If you don't take it over now, you will have to wait until it goes to the suburbs later.

"Will you let me think about it?"

"What else are you thinking about? Even if you work for a bus company, we have our own factory and you can ignore the factory's accounts..."

Liu Hongchang didn't feel burdened by asking Yang Maixiang to quit her job at the bus company early.

Even if I don't resign, I will wait until the bus company is transferred to a private contractor.

Many people will be laid off, and it will be difficult for low-level workers like Yang Maixiang to stay.

Even if I don't leave, I won't be able to work for the bus company for many years.

"This is too sudden for you, give me some time to accept it."

"Okay, you should also think about it. When you work in your own factory, you have a lot of freedom. You can go home when you want. The children are getting bigger and bigger, and it is becoming more and more difficult for Mom to take care of them by herself. We are too I need you to spend more time at home..."

Liu Hongchang tempted Yang Maixiang by talking about the various benefits of resigning.

"I'm going to be in charge of finance at a stationery factory. Do you want to be the director of a stationery factory?"

"The director of the stationery factory is Liu Zi. How can I, a master, compete with Liu Zi?"

"So you still have to work in the Second Canteen?"

"I won't be a cook forever. I plan to give Yao Guo some preparation time, so I quit the Second Canteen. I just don't care about the stationery factory and a bunch of things in the mine that need me to do. Liu Zi will be mainly responsible for the mine from now on. Come on, do you think the stationery factory can do without its own people?” By this time, Houdunzi had already secured several mines, and Liu Hongchang was not ready to continue working in the Second Canteen.

By this time, the conditions for several people have matured.

There is no need to stay together, it’s time for each to take care of his or her own affairs.

It is better to break up now when the cooperation is still pleasant than to wait for the breakup.

"Okay, if you really want to expand the scale of the stationery factory, I will go over and take care of the finance."

"Then it's settled. I'll talk to Liu Zi later and ask Xiaoyan to do finance with you. Once she learns how to do it, you can do whatever you want."

If Liu Hongchang and Liu Zi are willing to stay in the second cafeteria and like cooking.

Yanzi, the sixth daughter-in-law, has also been in the second cafeteria, but she just can't bear to have an iron rice bowl.

As people continue to be laid off in various units, this iron rice bowl becomes less iron-clad and less reluctant to part with it.

"Liuzi, come here, let me talk to you."

When he arrived at the Second Canteen the next day, after a brief busy period, Liu Hongchang called Liu Zi.

With the canteen recruiting several young people, Liu Hongchang and Liu Zi no longer need to do the physical work of purchasing and moving goods.

The customer flow in the canteen is no better than before. In the past, people often had to queue up to eat, but now they only queue up to buy some braised food.

The job of the chef in the second cafeteria is much easier and more comfortable than before.

If conditions did not allow Liu Hongchang to continue fishing, Liu Hongchang would still be reluctant to throw it away.

"Brother, what's the matter? Tell me." Liu Zi also made a cup of tea and sat down opposite Liu Hongchang.

Except for the fact that Liu Zi does not follow Liu Hongchang in terms of stability, he is quite similar to Liu Hongchang in other aspects.

Especially the habit of fishing, Liu Zi learned [-]% from Liu Hongchang.

"I plan to expand the scale of the stationery factory. You and I will go out in a few days. Let's go out and see which unit's factory is suitable to take over?"

"Brother, you can make up your mind in this regard. You don't need to discuss it with me."

Liu Hongchang is responsible for planning, and Liu Zi is responsible for implementation. The two masters and apprentices have cooperated very well over the years.

"Well, since you don't care, I didn't discuss it with you. I just informed you." After the joke was over, Liu Hongchang continued:
  "Since you agree to this, let's talk about the next thing. After the factory expands, you can let Yanzi and your sister-in-law go to the factory to do the accounting. How come your sixth son is also a boss with a net worth of hundreds of thousands, and your wife Isn’t it not suitable to be a waiter?”

Although Liuzi didn't have much money in hand, and his cash deposits totaled only a few thousand, the shares in the stationery factory and the mine were worth at least hundreds of thousands.

"Brother, I already have so much money!" Liuzi laughed while drinking tea.

In recent years, the money and dividends have not been much. When the coal mines make money, they go out to build connections and contract new mines.

The money earned by the stationery factory will be used to buy some equipment and sell off the factory buildings that originally belonged to the street, and there will be nothing left.

Liuzi has never calculated how much he is worth.

The couple's wages in the cafeteria, plus the sixth son's salary in the stationery factory, were enough for the two of them to live well.

"Stop being silly. You need to persuade your wife to let her go to work in the factory. When she has some leisure time, you should also consider having children."

Although the six sons are not Liu Hongchang's disciples, at this point in the relationship, Liu Hongchang also worries about his father for the six sons.

"What are you trying to persuade me? I have the final say in our family affairs. After a while, I can just inform Yanzi."

The sixth son is a poor talker. He obviously does not have such a high family status, but he still likes to talk big words.

Even though he knew that his wife was not far away, he didn't know how to restrain himself.

"Keep your voice down, don't let your wife hear it." Liu Hongchang reminded Liu Zi not to get carried away.

"If you hear it, just hear it. I'm not afraid of her."

With a hard breath in his mouth, Liu Zi unconsciously lowered his volume.

The sixth son is not afraid of his wife, and the two of them have a relatively equal status.

Most of the time, Yanzi gives Liuzi face.

But after Liuzi gets too wild, Yanzi will also take care of Liuzi.

Especially in the Second Canteen, everyone here is acquaintances. Under certain circumstances, being in the Second Canteen does not count as being outside, and Yan Zi does not have to save face for Liu Zi.

"One more thing, we won't work in the cafeteria too long..."

Liu Hongchang was going to talk to Liu Zi about the two people leaving the Second Canteen and their plans for the next period of time.

But when he saw the two of them sitting and drinking tea, Yao Guofa was enjoying themselves so much that he felt uncomfortable:
  "Da Liu, Liu Zi, what time is it? You two are still sitting and drinking tea. Start working!"

Yao Guofa has reason to be dissatisfied. No matter how you look at it, the lives of Liu Hongchang and Liu Zi are more nourishing than those of director Yao Guofa.

After the business in the canteen went down, Liu Hongchang and Liu Zi mainly played cards, drank tea and read newspapers in the canteen.

Yao Guofa is different. No matter whether the business is good or not, what he does every day is the same.

You still need to manage when you need to manage, you still need to attend meetings when you need to attend, and you still need to report to your superiors when you need to report on your work.

"Don't be in a hurry with your work. Since you're here, Lao Yao, let's go to your office and have a chat together?"

"What do you want to say?" Yao Guofa asked directly.

After the No. [-] canteen was unable to receive a banquet and Liu Hongchang was not required to help with cooking to maintain his favor, Yao Guofa's attitude toward Liu Hongchang changed.

"Do you want to talk to the chef here?"

"Let's talk about it here. After that, you can get to work quickly."

Yao Guofu found that his current requirement for employees is to find work even if they have no job.

He could just pretend to be a foreigner, otherwise Yao Guofa would feel uncomfortable.

Acting like a capitalist has become more like a cadre.

"Okay, let's say it here, Liu Zi and I are getting ready to go to the sea."

"You want to go to the sea, and you want to go to the sea with Liu Zi?" Yao Guofa shouted in surprise, and the entire kitchen heard it.

"What, Da Liu and Liu Zi, are you ready to go to sea?"

"Where are you going to make a fortune?"

"Da Liu Liuzi, you are going to express our friendship for many years, but you must take us with you!"

As soon as Yao Guo let out his voice, the people in the cafeteria gathered around Liu Hongchang and started chattering.

Regarding the matter of going overseas to start a business, some of the unsatisfactory employees in the cafeteria are obsessed with Ye Gong.

Although I am interested, although I am attracted by it, I really don’t dare to quit my job and start a business with these people.

But I am still full of curiosity about the matter itself.

I envy those big bosses and small bosses who have become trembling in society.

"Throw it all away, don't you have any life left in your hands?" Yao Guofa shouted, obviously panicked and angry.

There are at most three and a half cooks in the second cafeteria, and two of them are gone at once, which can be said to be very serious.

"Da Liu, Liu Zi, you two come to the office with me."
