The Era of Hard Work

   Chapter 196 Have you thought about the name (please subscribe for monthly pass)

   This woman is in her twenties, with a round face, wearing a navy blue turn-over white-collar suit, with a small rectangular nameplate hanging on her left chest, obviously a staff member of the Industrial and Commercial Bank.

   Industrial and Commercial Bank rented Laodu's shop, which is still being renovated.

   The female staff seemed a little surprised to see Lu Dong, then showed a professional smile, and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Lu Dong, I didn't expect to meet you here."

   "Hello." Lu Dong remembered who she was, but didn't know her name.

   In the past, he went to the county industrial and commercial bank to deposit and withdraw money, and many times he was received by this female staff member.

   As for being able to call out his name, it's not surprising, after all, he used his real name to open the card.

  The female staff has a deep impression on Lu Dong. These days, not many people take a pile of change to make deposits, but there are not many people like Lu Dong who can make deposits with large amounts of change many times in a row.

   "You..." She pointed to the Lu's Mala Tang sign: "This shop is yours."

   Lu Dong smiled politely: "It was a partnership with a friend."

  The female staff member just remembered and quickly introduced herself: "My name is Wang Wenwen, we have met several times."

   Lu Dong asked casually, "Are you transferred here?"

  Wang Wenwen didn't seem to have any scheming, and said directly: "I helped me with some activities at home. I was transferred here to be the assistant to the president. Now I mainly supervise some things on the decoration."

   Lu Dong said: "Congratulations."

   The clerks at the window are basically contract workers. After taking this step, they may become regular workers.

   According to rumors, the hardest and easiest way for bank contract workers to become regular workers is to pull deposits.

  Wang Wenwen still has some professional qualities, and said with a smile: "In the future, it will be close, you can handle business, just come here directly."

   Lu Dong also smiled: "Okay, save the errands."

   Lu's Catering Company used the Industrial and Commercial Bank, and Lu Dong's remaining 50,000 yuan emergency fund was also kept in the Industrial and Commercial Bank's card.

   After a few chats with Lu Dong, Wang Wenwen went back to work as a supervisor.

   Lu Dong received a call from Fang Yan, and the application for a support advertisement made by Fang Yan for him was approved. In a few days, the evening newspaper will publish an advertisement written by Fang Yan herself.

   "Thank you, Sister Fang." Lu Dong thanked him hurriedly.

   If Fang Yan helped in the past, it was for the sake of his help, but now, it should be Lv Chun more.

   Lu Dong was about to put away his phone when a text message alert sounded suddenly.

  Although this Motorola phone can send and receive text messages, this is the first time Lu Dong has received a text message, so hurry up and read it, this time it is not an award, but a payment!

   "Your son was arrested by us because he was living with someone else. Please transfer 5,000 yuan to the XXX account as soon as possible, or will you file a case and leave a criminal record! XXX Institute, Officer Hao."

  Lu Dong silently selected the message and pressed the delete button.

  This telecom fraud is really full of tricks, and it seems that it is fairly simple and rude to play now.

   Lu Dong was convinced that his phone number information was probably sold by someone.

   Is there anyone in charge these days?

   Ask Lu Chun another day.

   Just after eleven o'clock, Lao Du entered the store with panda eyes, and Lu Dong was curious: "Did you sleep well?"

  Du Xiaobing took out a dollar to Fu Zhaoxia behind the cash register, took out a bottle of iced mineral water from the vertical freezer, and poured half of the bottle in one breath. Then he said, "The provincial dormitory has a telephone."

   Lu Dong didn't understand and looked at Du Xiaobing suspiciously.

   "Someone kept calling me in the middle of the night." Du Xiaobing hated his teeth: "Later I turned off my phone and fell asleep."

  Lu Dong stood up and gave Du Xiaobing an apron: "Go work, work makes you sober."

  Du Xiaobing went to the locker room to change clothes.

   Not too many meetings, Xu Man and the temporary workers from the work-study program also came.

   At 11:30 noon, the store began to be lively, and the flow of people continued to increase. Just like Lu Dong set up a stall in the market before, there were always students coming out to buy something to eat.

  There are well-known first-class universities in the five provinces. Since last summer, students have been relocating here one after another. There will be no shortage of customers at the shops at the intersection.

   Even in 2019, when e-commerce takeaways were extremely prosperous, this shop at the central intersection is still very popular.

Lv Dong knew a lot about the same industry because he was a copycat fried chicken restaurant. At that time, the largest store here was a KFC store. It is said that it has created a daily turnover of more than 300,000 yuan and an hourly sales of 50,000 yuan. record.

   There will be no shortage of customers here, it depends on whether it can attract people.

   Lu Dong didn't go to the kitchen. There were not as many people at noon as last night. He was like an ordinary customer, walking upstairs and downstairs to see the specific situation.

   has undergone training and has just started business, and the people in the store basically follow the staff rules.

   But it is not easy to implement it for a long time.

   First of all he cannot relax his demands.

The store has maintained an occupancy rate of 70% to 80%, not at a certain point in time, but from more than 15% to more than 1 o'clock. When the occupancy rate was the lowest, it did not drop by 70%, and the maximum was 12 o'clock. After that, 90% of the places were filled with people.

   Lu Dong paid special attention to a few tables. It was normal to turn over the table five or six times in more than two hours.

   In addition, as Song Na said last night, there were a lot of people who took them away.

   After two o'clock, the store was emptied of customers. Lu Dong went to the cashier to check the statistics. The turnover at noon was over 3,000.

   has just opened, and business is booming. As long as the momentum of the boom can leave six or seven points, the store is truly a blast.

   In the afternoon, Lv Dong drove into the van and took Du Xiaobing to the Shilibao Market to purchase goods.

  Du Xiaobing was sitting in the co-pilot, maybe he didn't sleep well last night, he fell asleep after a while.

  Lao Du has been in the shop all day recently, and Lu Dong doesn’t know if he has gone to the art academy or not.

  After entering the market, Lu Dong saw that Lao Du was sound asleep, so he couldn't bear to call him, so he parked the car and went to ask for the goods by himself.

  Leaving Shilibao, went to Shengda Road again, went to buy milk tea ingredients, and finally came to the big yard near the technology market in the northern section of Shengda Road, looking for Rhododendron.

   Mala Tang restaurant opens, and another fried chicken restaurant has to prepare.

  The chicken-related raw materials of the cottage fried chicken shop are easy to say, and Lu Dong can buy them from the iron rooster.

   And the iron rooster processing plant is expanding, the fried chicken shop here can develop, and the iron chicken processing plant can be considered as a long-term supplier.

  The big yard was very busy, delivery and loading trucks were coming and going, Lv Dong wanted to find a corner to park, Du Xiaobing went to Du Juan's office first.

  Du Juan looked at Du Xiaobing's dark circles, which was comparable to Lu Zhenlin's thick eyebrows: "What did you do last night?"

  Du Xiaobing said quickly: "Sister, my sister, don't guess, okay? I'm tired. The store has opened in the past two days, and I've been very busy. I've been working!"

  Cuckoo pinched his thick knuckles and asked, "Really?"

  Anyway, ever since I met Ning Xue, I felt that if my cousin got involved with this woman, he would be ruined sooner or later.

  Du Xiaobing was helpless: "Lu Dong is also here, if you don't believe me, ask Lu Dong."

  Compared to Du Xiaobing, Du Juan felt that Lu Dong was more reliable, and when Lu Dong entered the office, he immediately asked about it.

   She didn't want to see her cousin suffer some inexplicable bad things because of a woman.

   Lu Dong said: "Old Duterte worked hard and worked very late in the shop last night."

   Du Juan was relieved, and turned to ask: "Is there something you two come over?"

  Du Xiaobing found a place to sit down: "I asked Lu Dong to pull it over."

Lu Dongzheng said: "I want to trouble Sister Du with something. The company we set up will open a second restaurant when the Mala Tang restaurant is stable, and we plan to imitate the foreign fast food giants KFC and McDonald's to create a fried chicken and burger restaurant. ."

  Cuckoo put his broad palm on the table and said, "I don't know much about the catering industry, but can I imitate it?"

  Lu Dong once did it on the spot and said, "It can be done! KFC and McDonald's opened in a university town, and there will be enough market space for imitation stores like ours."

   "I don't understand catering." Du Juan did not shy away from this: "What do you want to eat?"

   Buying goods from her and doing business, of course, she will not refuse.

Lu Dong said with a smile: "Of course you still have to ask for the cash register and the corresponding system. It's mainly kitchen utensils, and professional fryers are not very easy to get. I've searched many places in the market, but I haven't found one that sells them. Retrofitting is very troublesome.”

  Du Juan thought for a while and said, "I'll ask you for help. I'll contact you when there is news. Give me a list of what you need."

  Lu Dong took out a piece of printing paper from his bag and handed it to Du Juan, which listed many specific appliances: such as a burger machine, a holding cabinet, a french fries station, a flour coating table, an open fryer, an ice cream machine, and so on.

   In another five or six years, these equipments are very easy to buy, and many companies specializing in the manufacture of cooking utensils can build them.

  These days, I have to think of a way.

   Even in the provincial capital of Quannan, when Lu Dong was preparing the Mala Tang store some time ago, he went to the large and small markets, and some of them were not sold at all.

  The cuckoo people were happy, mainly involving their own family members, picked up the phone and made a few calls, and quickly said to Lu Dong: "I asked, someone in the south is doing this, I can help you buy the goods."

   With Du Xiaobing there, Lu Dong was not worried and said, "Sister Du, you can make an offer when the time comes."

  Dujuan said directly: "I won't cheat you either, Lu Dong, just a little bit, you open a branch, and the equipment will give priority to me."

   "Okay!" Lu Dong responded: "Sister Du, we have nothing to say about our relationship. I also hope to borrow your auspicious words to continue opening a branch."

   Get professional kitchen utensils. After opening, it is a fool-like operation. Lu Dong will write an operation guide and make it according to the standardization.

   This is probably one of the biggest advantages of Western-style fast food. It is produced in a standardized mode, and the taste is relatively uniform.

   Afterwards, Lu Dong took Du Xiaobing and ran to several places. Most of the raw materials are not difficult to find, including semi-finished French fries, which are sold in the market.

   Now we can only open one store, and it is impossible to go to the manufacturer to discuss special processing cooperation.

   There will be more stores in the future, which is easy to say.

   Then there is the packaging, you can find a food packaging processing factory for custom production, but you need to determine the store name before that.

   "Have you made up your mind about the name?" Du Xiaobing felt that Lu Dong was a waste of naming: "No, I'll name it for you."

   Lu Dong asked, "Did you think of it?"

  Du Xiaobing said seriously: "I heard that there is a Burger King overseas, how about we call it Burger King?"
