Life 1984

Li Yunhai picked up Xie Yan and took her to Zhongshan Road.

Triangle Garden, the night market street on Huangxing Road, and the area of ​​Xiahe Street have always been the bustling center of Xizhou City. With the rise of Xiahe Street, citizens prefer to shop there. But the market here in Triangle Gardens is not dead yet.

Li Yunhai and Xie Yanran came to the newly opened Hunan restaurant.

Xie Yanran said that the seat by the window was good and she could see the street scenery outside.

The two sat down, and Li Yunhai asked her to order, and said that he had already eaten.

Xie Yanran snorted: "Mr. Li, have you eaten? Then I don't need to eat a big meal by myself. I can just eat a bowl of rice noodles."

Li Yunhai said it's okay, I'll watch you eat.

Xie Yanran ordered two dishes.

At this time, a car outside stopped at the entrance of the triangular garden opposite.

Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan got out of the car.

Shen Xiulan suddenly saw Li Yunhai in the restaurant here.

"Ling Zhi, look, that's Yunhai, right? Who is he with?" Shen Xiulan asked, pointing to the Hunan restaurant.

"It's him." Lin Zhi also saw it and was slightly startled.

Shen Xiulan asked: "Didn't you say that he only came out after having dinner at home? Why is there a social gathering again?"

"I don't know either." Lin Zhi's eyes were fixed on Xie Yanran.

Although I only saw Xie Yanran's side face, I could tell that she was young, beautiful, energetic, full of youthful vitality, and was talking and laughing with Li Yunhai.

"Would you like to say hello?" Shen Xiulan asked.

Lin Zhi shook his head and said, "Don't worry about him, let's go shopping. Let's go!"

She held Shen Xiulan's hand and walked into the Triangle Garden, looking back at Li Yunhai and Xie Yanran by the window from time to time.

Li Yunhai had no idea about this.

After eating, Xie Yanran smiled and said, "Should we go shopping?"

"Do you want to buy anything?" Li Yunhai asked.

"No need to buy it."

"Then go back to the hotel!"

"You missed me?"

"hehe!"

"Let's go back to the hotel."

As soon as their car left, Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan bought something and drove away to go shopping in the night market.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Li Yunhai returned home.

Lin Zhi had already gone home and coaxed the child to sleep.

Li Yunhai came out of the shower and saw Lin Zhi lying on his bed.

"How was your conversation with Professor Ni tonight?" Lin Zhi asked with a smile.

Li Yunhai said: "I didn't go to see Professor Ni. I happened to meet a friend when I went out and went to chat with her."

"What kind of friends? Male or female?" Lin Zhi asked, her face very calm.

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "It's a woman."

"She's not from our company, right?"

"No."

"Then how did you meet? And how did you develop into friends?"

"Are you checking me?"

"I'm just asking, can't I ask?"

"Oh, actually she is Liu Jie's friend. We had a few drinks together before, and that's how we got to know each other."

"What does she want from you?"

"Nothing happened, just chatting casually."

"Where did you go to chat?"

"She didn't eat, so I treated her to a meal."

"Where did you eat?"

"Hey, what happened to you today? Are you tracking my whereabouts?"

"Don't dare. If you don't want to say it, forget it."

"A new Hunan restaurant has opened in Triangle Garden. Let's eat there."

"What happened next? Where did you go?"

"We just chatted together, and then went to the dance hall of Tianhua Hotel to sit down. What's the matter with you? You're holding on to me, aren't you?"

"It's nothing. Xiulan and I went shopping in Triangle Garden and saw you."

Li Yunhai's heart skipped a beat.

Fortunately, he had a premonition just now and knew that there must be a reason why Lin Zhi suddenly asked this question, so he didn't lie.

Others have become shrewd and will only tell the truth when speaking in front of Lin Zhi, but they will hide the most critical things.

In this way, no matter how powerful Lin Zhi is, he still won't be able to figure out his true whereabouts.

Sure enough, the knot in Lin Zhi's heart was relieved.

"You went on a date with a beautiful woman alone and didn't do anything?" Lin Zhi asked with a half-smile.

"Haha, what can I do? It's so cold! I don't even bother to take off my clothes!"

"Hey, you still want to take off your clothes? She is a little girl, so be careful that she pesters you and ruins your reputation."

"That's why I don't dare!"

"No wonder you're not looking for Xiulan anymore. It turns out you're looking for someone younger and more beautiful."

"Yes, it's not easy for me, the big boss of Sihai Group, to find a few young girls? Let me tell you, your man is still very popular outside."

"It's too small! Come up here and let me check it out."

Li Yunhai chuckled and got into bed quickly.

When he was dating Xie Yanran, he retained a certain amount of strength just to return home and pay the public bills.

After Lin Zhi was satisfied, she went to take care of the children without mentioning them.

Li Yunhai let out a long breath, thinking that Xizhou is not a big place and he must be more careful in the future. The chance of a car crash is too high!

The next day, Li Yunhai led his people to inspect the Sihai Center.

The project passed the acceptance inspection, and the decoration was designed and decorated according to Li Yunhai's requirements.

All four buildings are in modern style and are the most luxurious and tallest buildings in the province.

The total investment in the project reached more than 20 billion yuan.

Li Yunhai requested that all finishing work before the move be completed by the end of March.

Sihai Group will move in in April.

The company's relocation is easy, but what worries Li Yunhai most is the commercial application of the building's podium.

The podium building has five floors and will definitely be developed into a modern commercial plaza.

Li Yunhai's original idea was to develop it into a computer city.

But as a reborn person, he also knew that the lifespan of Computer City was only twenty years.

Twenty years later, due to the impact of online shopping, almost all computer cities could not escape the fate of decline. Even Huaqiangbei in Pengcheng could not escape the tide of the times.

So Li Yunhai decided not to build a computer mall, but to build a large shopping mall, and then open a Sihai office equipment store on the first floor of the shopping mall.

Running a shopping mall is also a very troublesome thing, do you want to do it yourself? Or attract investment?

If you want to cooperate, which company should you choose?

Li Yunhai contacted Guo Wanhua and wanted to hear her opinion.

Guo Wanhua said that there are many mature commercial plazas in Xiangjiang. How about introducing one from Xiangjiang?

The advantage of this is that Li Yunhai only needs to collect rent on an annual basis and rent out the podium building to others for operation and management, which saves time, worry and effort.

Guo Wanhua also provided another idea, which is to attract investment by yourself. In such a good location and such a high-end commercial building, there must be many brands willing to cooperate and manage it by yourself to make more money, but it requires a strong and professional management team.

Nowadays, there are some famous brand stores in Xizhou, but not many. They are mainly concentrated in the area from Zhongshan Road to Huangxing Road, and there is also the Youyi Shopping Mall. A piece of fashionable clothing can be sold for hundreds or even thousands, and some people still consume it.

There are tens of millions of people in the province, and even if only 20% of them are wealthy, their spending power is still very strong.

There were a lot of wealthy people in the 90s. These people who suddenly became rich needed famous brands, luxury cars, and watches to highlight their status. Foreign Rolex watches, Pierre Cardin clothing, and Crown cars gradually became the symbols of the rich. Matching has also become a capital for the rich to show off.

Therefore, there is definitely a market for opening a high-end shopping mall on Huangxing Road.

Li Yunhai asked Guo Wanhua to negotiate with a large supermarket chain in Xiangjiang and invite them to come over for inspection to see if they could reach an agreement.

Guo Wanhua contacted the bosses of two supermarkets. As a result, when people heard that it was an inland city and asked about the salary level here, they were not interested and said that if they had money, they might as well invest in the special zone.

In the early 90s, it was really difficult for Xizhou to attract investment because it had no advantages at all.

Even in the central region, Xizhou is not as good as Jiangcheng across the river.

In 1990, Dongtang Department Store was the first shopping mall in Xizhou with annual sales exceeding million yuan, becoming a symbol of department stores in the city and even the province.

But this is a state-owned mall.

As for private large supermarkets, there is no precedent.

The later smash hit Ping He Tang would have to wait four years before it could open.

The chain stores and supermarkets in Xiangjiang look down upon Xizhou and are unwilling to invest.

Li Yunhai had no choice but to attract investment and do it himself.

He has no experience in this area and must first find a team and manpower capable of managing large supermarkets.

There are no professionals in this field in the country.

Not to mention Xizhou, even places like Beijin, Shanghai, etc. are still dominated by state-owned shopping malls, and private supermarkets are still a new thing.

The business model of state-owned shopping malls is significantly different from that of modern supermarkets.

In the era of planned economy, everything sold in state-owned shopping malls was planned. Even if Sihai Group wanted to set up a counter there, it had to ask grandpa to sue grandma.

As the saying goes, the emperor's daughter doesn't have to worry about getting married, and the goods in state-owned shopping malls don't have to worry about selling, so their managers are essentially officials and don't know much about business matters.

Li Yunhai wanted to poach them, but it was difficult and unnecessary.

He decided to develop a management team from within his company.

The matter reached Chen Hong's ears. That day, she called Li Yunhai and volunteered to help manage the commercial building in Sihai Center.

After Li Yunhai received her call, he did not make a decision immediately.

Because he knew Chen Hong's ability and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control such a big stall.

So he said: "Chen Hong, you are still young and need experience. Besides, this job has nothing to do with your major."

"I don't understand, I can learn! Besides, you can teach me, right? No matter who you ask to do things, you have to learn from scratch. No one is born with this knowledge. You might as well ask me!" I will graduate soon and can leave school for internship now. If you agree, I will go to Xizhou tomorrow and I don’t have to go home even during the Chinese New Year.”

"Chen Hong, this matter is not as easy as you think. You are a little girl, why should you suffer from this trouble?"

"Zhu Lin and Gong Jie can be your branch managers, why can't I? I'm no worse than them!"

"You don't want to be an actor anymore?"

"Being an actor is also about making money, as long as you can make me make money."

"Hey!"

"I don't care, you have to agree! I'm going to Xizhou tomorrow. I want to be closer to you."

"Hey, Chen Hong——"

"See you tomorrow!" Chen Hong said and hung up the phone.

Li Yunhai slowly put down the phone and called Zhao Jinping over.

Zhao Jinping knew that his boss was worried about the commercial building investment recently, so he provided a suggestion: "The manager of the Zhongshan Road Department Store is named Qian Changbao. He is a talent. Boss, I heard that he has recently thought about leaving his job. If we If we can recruit him, we can just leave the management to him."

Li Yunhai pondered: "Qian Changbao? I'm afraid that he has too much of a bureaucracy and will do everything the way a state-owned enterprise does, and then he won't be able to invigorate the market."

Zhao Jinping smiled and said: "After he came, he just helped you do things, and he could always adapt to the new environment and new requirements. Just like me, I also worked for the state-owned store at the beginning. Later, under your leadership, I also Are you doing okay?"

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, then you make an appointment with him and I'll talk to him."

Zhao Jinping said: "This is easy, then let's make an appointment tonight?"

Li Yunhai said: "There is a newly opened Hunan restaurant over there in the Triangle Garden. It's called Xiangli Xiangwei. The food there is pretty good. Let's make an appointment there. It's also close to the Zhongshan Road Department Store."

"I know that store, okay, let's make an appointment there." Zhao Jinping replied.

Li Yunhai said: "Just you and me, well, let's bring Su Hong with us!"

Zhao Jinping said yes, got up and left.

After a while, he came over and reported: "Mr. Li, I contacted Qian Changbao and he promised to go out for dinner in the evening."

Li Yunhai asked: "Mr. Zhao, why did Qian Changbao resign? Did he want to go to work? Or was he fired for some reason?"

Zhao Jinping chuckled and said: "He is good at everything, but he is greedy for beauty and can't control his lower body. He got together with a counter lady in the company. When his wife found out, she made a fuss. When he arrived at the work unit, he couldn't stay there any longer and resigned voluntarily."

Li Yunhai was startled.

Zhao Jinping said: "Boss, no one is perfect. As long as he has the ability and can complete the things you tell him, personal affairs can be ignored."

Li Yunhai nodded slowly: "Then how does he deal with his family affairs?"

Zhao Jinping said: "He is divorced and now he is living with the counter lady. His ex-wife is a tigress, very fierce. I have seen her several times, and even a man can't stand her."

Li Yunhai said: "Let's meet first in the evening and then talk!"

Not long after Zhao Jinping left, Lin Zhi came to Li Yunhai's office.

"Yunhai, I heard that you want to invite Qian Changbao?"

"Just an idea, not decided yet."

"Yun Hai, you can't recruit such a person. I heard about him. He left his first wife for a vixen outside. This man has moral problems! How can such a person be recruited into the company?"

Lin Zhi is the vice president of human resources. If the company wants to recruit people, it must report to her.

As soon as Zhao Jinping told Lin Zhi about Qian Changbao, Lin Zhi felt something was wrong.

Li Yunhai said: "No one is a saint! When we look at people, we must look at them comprehensively, not just for one moment or one thing."

Lin Zhi said: "Yunhai, such people cannot be managers of our company! This is a matter of principle."

Li Yunhai frowned and said: "Then what you say, everyone who has been divorced or cheated will be kicked out of our company? We are just a company, not a moral model unit. Even within the system, there is no such thing Require."

Lin Zhi said: "Why not? Wasn't he fired from the department store?"

"He resigned on his own."

"It's just publicity, he was actually fired!"

"Okay, I understand. I'll meet him tonight and talk to him. If that doesn't work, I won't recruit him."

"You really need to think about this matter carefully. Our company is not a rag collector. What do we do if we pick up what others don't want? And offer it as a treasure?"

"What you said is a bit too much! Then a man can't make a mistake? If he makes a mistake, he will be beaten to death with a stick?"

"It depends on what kind of mistake it is. Some mistakes cannot be forgiven."

Li Yunhai smiled bitterly.

In the evening, Li Yunhai, Zhao Jinping, and Su Hong came to the Xiangli Xiangwei Restaurant on Zhongshan Road.

The decoration of this restaurant is very high-end, not inferior to Yu Lou Dong Lai.

Zhao Jinping booked a private room.

When they arrived, Qian Changbao had already arrived.

Qian Changbao is in his thirties. He is tall and looks smart and capable. There is a woman next to him, she is about twenty-seven or eight years old, she is dressed up and has a pretty good figure. She is probably his new love.

"Hello, Mr. Li! I've heard of you for a long time!" Qian Changbao stretched out his hands from afar and shook hands with Li Yunhai with a smile.

Li Yunhai nodded and said, "Hello, Mr. Qian."

Qian Changbao smiled awkwardly: "I resigned, I am no longer Mr. Money."

Everyone takes a seat.

Li Yunhai chatted with Qian Changbao and found that this person had some information, his conversation was humorous, and he spoke in an orderly manner.

Qian Changbao is a college student, knowledgeable and experienced.

Under his management, the Zhongshan Road Department Store has performed fairly well in recent years.

The woman who followed Qian Changbao was also very talkative and treated people well.

Li Yunhai asked: "Comrade Qian Changbao, what are your plans after you resign?"

Qian Changbao had talked with Zhao Jinping on the phone before and knew what this meeting meant. He immediately straightened his waist and said seriously: "Mr. Li, I originally planned to take Liang Min with me to develop in the south. There are special zones in the south and there are many opportunities. But I heard Mr. Zhao say that Sihai Group is going to build a large-scale supermarket, so I volunteered myself without any presumption and wanted to help Mr. Li!"

Li Yunhai said: "We are a private company, do you understand?"

Qian Changbao said: "Regardless of whether it is a state-owned or private enterprise, it is a good enterprise if it can make money. Today's state-owned enterprises are overstaffed, and people inside are engaging in intrigues. Few people are sincere in their work. I have long ago I just want to go to sea. Mr. Li, I don’t care about the establishment. As long as you are willing to ask me, I will definitely help you build a supermarket. Xizhou is my hometown, and my family is here. If I can stay in Xizhou and work, That’s certainly the best.”

Li Yunhai asked: "How do you want to open up the situation?"

Qian Changbao said: "It's very simple, open investment! We only cooperate with the best companies at home and abroad. Only in this way can we raise the level of our shopping malls and truly open up sales. The biggest difference between us and state-owned enterprises is that we have greater The right to choose independently. Please give me two months, and I will definitely be able to open Sihai Supermarket!"

Li Yunhai said: "Do you know how a modern supermarket is run?"

Qian Changbao said: "Mr. Li, I have visited Xiangjiang and coastal cities, and I know how supermarkets operate."

Li Yunhai had a detailed discussion with him and felt that this person could be used, so he said: "Okay, Comrade Qian Changbao, I am very happy to cooperate with you!"

Qian Changbao picked up the wine glass, stood up, raised his hands above his eyebrows, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for giving me a chance. I will live up to your expectations and achieve great results!"

He hesitated for a moment, then pointed to Liang Min beside him and said: "Mr. Li, Liang Min is a sales talent. She was the sales champion at Zhongshan Road Department Store before. Can you also arrange something for her?" (End of Chapter)
