The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

"Boss, do you have instant noodles here? The kind of round noodles."

"It was sold out yesterday, and there will be more tomorrow. You can try my wonton noodles first today."

"Thank you. Let's try it next time. We want to save our stomachs to try that instant noodles today."

Li Ming took Lou Xiao'e to the next store and asked several stores one after another but none had anything in stock.

He asked another stall owner. The fat boss was very enthusiastic. Li Ming couldn't help but stop and chat a few more words.

"Boss, are instant noodles so easy to sell? I asked the stalls in this area and they all ran out of stock."

The fat boss said with a smile on his face: "I don't know if it will sell well. Their company is very interesting, and they generously gave us 10 noodles for each stall."

"When I wanted to purchase goods from them yesterday, they actually told me that they were out of stock and that it would take two days to have the goods."

"Those who give it away have good stuff, but those who sell it for money don't. Do you think their boss is quite interesting?"

Li Ming smiled and agreed: "It's a bit interesting."

In order to quickly expand the market, he asked Mars Company to use the strategy of giving away free noodles to open up sales in tea restaurants and big-name stalls.

10 noodles cost 7 cents per store, and it would only cost 7000 yuan to deliver to [-] stores, so he could afford it.

What's more, he didn't deliver so much, so he asked the salesman to find the big-name stalls that were concentrated in large groups to deliver them, and ignored the car stalls on the road.

When there are more people eating, unlicensed stall owners will also take the initiative to come to buy goods.

Dai Pai Dong, as it is called, has a big sign and a business license issued by the Municipal Administration.The official name of the license is: Fixed stall (cooked food or snacks) hawker license.

"Boss, do you think this instant noodles is a success? I want to open a store in Sham Shui Wadana to sell this."

Li Ming made up a random reason and continued to ask.

With his beautiful girlfriend, he looks like someone with some status in his clothes.

The fat boss said in disbelief: "Young man, you have to think clearly. The catering industry is a very hard job."

"I have to get up in the middle of the night to make preparations, and I often have to be picked on by diners. Some customers curse when they open their mouths."

Li Ming said nonchalantly: "I have to make money to support my family, and I have no other way. It's pretty good to make money just by showing off your efforts."

The fat boss ignored him and chatted: "I can't say the shortcomings for the time being. I only got 10 pancakes. I tasted one myself and it tasted pretty good."

"There are quite a lot of advantages. Even if the water is not boiled, it can be cooked by soaking in hot water, and it is no problem even if it is eaten raw."

"The biggest advantage is that the dough comes with oil. Most of my customers are workers from nearby factories. The more oil and water there is, the more popular it is."

Li Ming promptly asked: "Did the salesperson in charge of sales teach you how to cook?"

The fat boss replied: "There is an instruction manual and the method is very simple. Follow the instructions and boil it in hot water for two to three minutes. If you want it to be softer, cook it for a longer time."

Li Ming smiled and said: "Simple is good, suitable for people like me who have no cooking skills and no secret recipes."

The fat boss kindly reminded: "You still need to think more carefully. If your store has no characteristics and cannot retain regular customers, your business will be worse than others."

"You are right! Give us two bowls of wonton noodles and try your handiwork."

After asking a lot of questions, Li Ming thought about taking care of the boss's business.

After chatting with this boy for a long time, the fat boss said happily: "Then just take a look! You can smell the aroma of my pork bone broth first. This was cooked last night."

The fat boss boasts about everything from the soup to the wonton skins, stuffings, and seasonings. He is a talented person who operates with great care.

It tasted really delicious. Li Ming and Lou Xiao'e praised the stall owner's cooking skills.

A man with a big head came from the next stall.

The stall owner next door questioned loudly: "Da Tou Rong, the goods you gave me last time were mixed with sugar, right?"

Da Tou Rong smiled and said, "A Le, sugar is not cheap. It's good that I didn't add flour to it for you."

The stall owner A Le said angrily: "I almost choked to death when I sucked it up!"

"It doesn't taste bitter at all when you put it in your mouth, it's actually still sweet!"

"Aren't you doing a good job!" Datou Rong said with a smile, "I'm telling you the truth, Youjia!"

"But I didn't add it, and I didn't know it at first."

"It seems that that batch of goods came with the sugar. It was a little bit scattered. It was in the goods my boss gave me."

The stall owner A Le also took the opportunity to bargain, "Then you have to give me a discount this time."

Datou Rong looked very talkative and said, "We are old acquaintances. I will definitely accommodate you, but I can't make a difference when I go back."

"If you want it cheaper, you have to tell my brother, he has agreed to everything."

The stall owner A Le obviously didn't want to dare, "Every time you use your big brother to pressure me. Didn't the price increase?"

Datou Rong laughed and said: "No! How could I increase the price randomly? We are all neighbors, I will not cheat you."

The two paid the money and delivered the goods.

They actually buy and sell white powder openly on the street.

Lou Xiao'e asked Li Ming in a low voice, "What are they buying?"

Li Ming frowned, "Something more poisonous than smoke."

The transaction between Ah Le and Da Tou Rong, the stall owners next door, made Li Ming feel uncomfortable.

The port city is an important trade transit port and enjoys tariff preferences from the Ying Federation.

In recent days, many companies have set up companies in Hong Kong cities to bypass tariff barriers.

Most drugs are only transferred through Hong Kong City, because after all, Hong Kong City has a population of only a few million people and the market is not large.

Li Ming doesn't want to take care of the harm to Ou Mei.

He has no ability to stop transactions hidden in corners.

It really turned his stomach to see it in broad daylight.

Even if the minions like Big Tou Rong are cleared away, there will still be Zhong Tou Rong and Small Tou Rong popping up one after another like leeks.

Li Ming decided to take some actions to curb it.

Lou Xiao'e was also very shocked by the transaction that was just like an ordinary sale right next to her.

"Hong Kong City is really different! We can't have people like this!"

"Hmm. It's impossible for such a person to work seriously!"

The two chatted quietly, and a new rule of Xingchen Company came out.

After Li Ming and Lou Xiao'e finished eating their noodles, they strolled through the streets and returned to the small world without anyone noticing.

The courtyard of the desert cabin.

Lou Xiao'e is checking the accounts of the furniture factory.

The accounts were simple, and she still had time to chat while she was calculating.

"You really don't want to go see the ham sausage factory?"

The hands-off shopkeeper Li Ming crossed his legs and drank orange juice without saying anything to help.

"With you guys watching, I'm too lazy to go. I'll wait until they produce the finished product to see it."

Lou Xiao'e explained: "I think Manager Lin Changjiu of the ham sausage factory will be worried that you don't value their work."

"Whether we take it seriously or not, inspections and everything else are all fake depends on how much money I spend. I spent a lot of money, so of course I take it seriously."

"Okay. I've been busy and I haven't bought you clothes for the New Year yet."

"You are busy every day now. Let's talk about it after the new year. Sister Qin made me some clothes."

"The clothes Sister Qin made for you are of the style worn in the capital, right?"

"No, they are worn by Gangcheng. I still have a lot of clothes from Beijing."

Lou Xiao'e raised her head and asked, "Will Sister Qin do it?"

"Imitating cats and tigers, no problem. She also made a set for you. She wanted to give you a surprise and asked me not to tell you. I decided to tell you in advance."

Ignoring his troubles, Lou Xiao'e continued to settle accounts, "We women's clothes are very particular about the fit, but she didn't even measure me."

Li Ming joked: "She has touched you all over your body. She knows it well."

"Why do you speak so harshly!"

"Hey, this is a fact."

"You are the most reasonable. I am too lazy to care about you." "Have the accounts been settled?"

"It's over now. Is there anything urgent? You've already urged me twice."

"I'll take you back to Central early, and then I'll go back to the rolling mill. I've been out for a long time and I don't know what's going on in the mill."

"Oh! Then I'll take it back to Central and settle the matter. Let's go."

Li Ming sent Lou Xiao'e back to Lou's house.

He did not return to the capital immediately, but printed several threatening letters.

The total depth of the Hong Kong Governor's Office is only a few dozen meters.

There was an extra letter and a bloody fish head in the offices of the Hong Kong Governor and the First Brother of the Police.

I didn't choose other livestock, mainly because the fish in Li Ming's small world were the least valuable, so I could save a little.

The content of the threatening letter was very simple. A month later, drugs in Hong Kong City were still being bought and sold casually, and their whole family could die.

The detectives and assistants suffered the same fate.

Since the problem is difficult to deal with, he puts the pressure on those who should be responsible.

Li Ming believed that the other party would respond.

The other party definitely didn't deal with the 'fan files' first, but looked for the person who left the message first.

If you really can't find it, you might ask those 'fan stalls' to behave a little better.

This is also the reason why Li Ming left a month to give the other party enough time to find his way out.

After finishing his work, he returned to No. 95 Courtyard in the capital.

cold winter.

There is a lot of sand and dust, but the air is still much fresher than in the port city.

Yan Bugui just entered the courtyard holding his bicycle, "Xiao Ming, you are at home today."

"I have to go on duty in the factory in the evening and come back in the afternoon to sleep in advance."

Li Ming asked garrulously, "Where are you going? You look very happy."

Yan Bugui said with a smile: "I just went to my school for a meeting. There is a new notice from above that our elementary school will start after the Chinese New Year."

"Then you started teaching mathematics again?"

"The arithmetic I teach is recovering, but the school mainly teaches quotations and literacy, as well as learning to sing Japanese songs."

"Where's Teacher Ran from the Intermediate School?"

Yan Bugui replied: "She! She can't teach yet, she has to receive education first. She is still studying at school and hasn't come back yet."

"However, there is a provision in this notice that specifically states that XX elements do not refer to family origin."

"Based on her usual behavior, she should be able to teach soon."

Li Ming smiled and said: "This is good news. When school starts now, does it count as an upgrade or does it continue at the same grade?"

After chatting for a long time, Yan Bugui simply parked his bicycle and said, "All of them have been upgraded. Graduates like Bangge will also continue to study in school."

Hearing the commotion in the yard, neighbor Li Junyi came out to join in the fun, "These kids play and run wild every day. It's time for school."

Wu Ming also appeared with his hands folded, "I hope it can be implemented in place. Now many notices are empty words."

Li Ming ignored their chat and returned to the factory to take charge of the security department.

"Is everything okay in the factory this afternoon?"

Security officer Luo Xingxing said: "It's quiet. Everyone is talking about not having a holiday during the New Year."

Li Ming asked casually: "For our security department, we have to be on duty whether we have holidays or not. What's there to discuss?"

"It's freezing cold, so they're just warming up by the fire and talking nonsense."

"Hmph, you are not serious about studying. If the security department is at the bottom of this factory activity, none of them will have a good time after the New Year."

Li Ming's face would be disgraced if his results were too poor in the activities he organized himself.

Luo Xun carefully replied: "I will warn them."

Bang bang bang bang bang.

"Please come in."

"Chief Luo is here too." Qin Huairu didn't expect there was anyone else.

"Director Qin, you guys talk. I've already reported it." Luo Xun said as he left.

The weather was cold, so Qin Huairu helped close the office door.

"I heard in the office building that Chen Liuman from the police team is looking for information and wants to pull you down."

"The rumors spread by Xu Damao."

"what!"

Li Ming said nonchalantly: "Xu Damao and Chen Liuman had a fierce quarrel, but they couldn't help Chen Liuman, so they spread rumors about Chen Liuman."

"Chen Liuman came to me specifically this morning to explain the situation."

Qin Huairu warned: "Knowing people but not their hearts, you should be more cautious. After all, Chen Liuman was the security section chief before."

Li Ming hooked his hands, and Qin Huairu walked around the desk knowingly and walked to him.

"Come over and report to me when you hear the news. I feel sorry for you in vain. Give me a reward."

With her small hand held by a warm big hand, Qin Huairu said in a fake tone: "Be careful someone is coming."

"They'll knock on the door."

The clothes are too thick, so I just touch them with my little hands, which is not a big problem.

Li Ming remembered and said, "When I came here, I happened to meet the third uncle returning home after a meeting."

"He said that after the Chinese New Year, elementary school will start."

Qin Huairu asked: "Are only elementary schools open?"

"Yeah. Graduates like Bangge continue to study in elementary school."

"What are you reading? The sixth grade content has already been taught."

"I don't know either. You go back to the third uncle and Teacher Ran at night to find out."

"Then Bangge won't be able to go to junior high school. What should I do?"

Li Ming estimated: "There is no chance now. Let's wait and see in a few months."

"Okay." Qin Huairu was very convinced of her man's judgment.

Li Ming said rudely: "It's not like you don't know my abilities. You don't have to worry about what I have or what I don't have. The three children will not be short of food and clothing in the future."

"What you need to educate more is their moral character!"

Qin Huairu said flatteringly: "I know! You've said it many times, and I remember it all."

"I've been staying with you for a long time, I'll go back first."

"Go."

Bored Li Ming flipped through the newspaper.

He was quickly attracted by an article from Guanghua Timber Factory.

From the factory headquarters to the departments and then to the workshops, there are a large number of off-duty cadres who do not understand the actual situation of production. They only know how to press down tasks and ask for figures.

Stand high and be an official and a master.

Now, those 'chiefs' and those 'directors' are all gone here.

Production service groups or committees have been established in the factory headquarters, departments, and workshops.

They consist of a number of orderlies, chosen by the workers themselves.

Whoever learns and thinks best and who can best connect with the masses will be selected as an orderly.

Those who are incompetent can be replaced at any time.

Service workers, except for a few who really need to take a break from work because of their work, the vast majority of them do not take a break from work. (End of chapter)
