The Era of Hard Work

   Chapter 234 Foreign Businessmen (Subscribe)

Walking around Quannan Road Pedestrian Street, with the help of Du Xiaobing's family, I got in touch with the developers of several commercial buildings. Lu Dong and people exchanged their contact information. Or there is still a period of time before the lease is opened, and they will contact Lu Dong at that time.

After   , the two went to the Grand View Garden and the People's Shopping Mall for a walk.

   is currently the most prosperous business district in Quannan.

   Then there are Shengda Road, where the Provincial University is located, and Wenhua East Road, the old campus of the Central University, and I also took a look around.

   Burger King and Lu’s Mala Tang have opened in Quannan, and these places are the first choice.

   When he got home that night, Lu Dong sat at the old table and spent more than two hours writing a brief plan.

The main content of    is the goal for the second half of the year, which is roughly divided into two parts, one is Burger King and Lu's Mala Tang to enter the county, and strive to officially open a store in Quannan before 2000; the other is to establish a complete supply and procurement system with the increase of storefronts.

   The county town is not big, at this stage, a Burger King and Lu's Mala Tang are enough.

   Entering Quannan is the first step to officially go out.

   Lu Dong thought of the commercial building under construction that he visited in the afternoon. The competition in the catering industry in Quannan is fierce. It is not easy for Burger King and Lu's Mala Tang to gain a foothold and develop.

   Burger King and Lu's Mala Tang have temporarily become the two hottest restaurants in the university town, which are related to the special social environment.

   Just finished writing, the courtyard gate rang, and Hu Chunlan came in from outside.

  Lu Dong went out of the house, took the bag from Hu Chunlan's hand, and asked, "Mom, why are you so late?"

Hu Chunlan went to the water well to wash her hands and said, "There are two businessmen from other places in the factory, Yu Dewei... Just the comrade-in-arms of your father's business, who specially introduced him to accompany him to visit the factory, and we are done here. ."

   Lu Dong knew who the old lady was talking about. When a group of people came over a year ago, Yu Dewei also told him that if he needed help in business, he would go to him, and he also left his contact information.

   These people, because of Hu Chunlan's relationship, are very concerned about the affairs of the factory. Uncle Ma helped to get support. Uncle Wei introduced the canteen customers of three enterprise groups, and Uncle Yu also helped.

   may be a trivial matter in their eyes, but it can help a newly established village collective enterprise gain a foothold and develop.

   Lu Dong reminded: "Mom, you also have to pay attention to rest."

  Hu Chunlan wiped her hands with a towel and said with a smile, "I'm not tired, and I don't have to work. It's much easier than growing an orchard." She remembered something: "I have a letter from you in my bag."

  Lu Dong opened the bag and took out the letter, which was mailed from the capital.

  Hu Chunlan asked: "Dongzi, what's the matter with you and Liu Wan's female champion?"

   Lu Dong understood the meaning of this and said, "Nothing else, Wen Yue, I and her were in the same class from the first year of junior high to the third year of high school."

   "The classmates are good." Hu Chunlan had heard of certain things, and reminded: "I've seen Liu Mingquan, who can stand it? A good family has to let him go."

   Lu Dong said: "Mom, you think too much."

   talked about the conversation again. He went back to the house and opened the envelope. It was the letter from Liu Linlin.

"Lu Dong, I'm sorry for taking so long to reply to your letter. The letter you wrote was received a few days ago because of the change in my dormitory. Seeing that you bought a mobile phone, you must be doing a good business? Three hundred and sixty You have to work hard and try to open the store to the capital one day sooner!”

   "I originally wanted to call you, but then I thought it was appropriate to write a letter. My writing ability is better than oral expression, but I joined a speech club and I am also practicing my eloquence..."

"My summer job is confirmed. If I don't go back to my hometown during the vacation, I should be able to earn next year's tuition. At the class reunion in the capital some time ago, I heard that you and Wen Yue set up a class reunion in the university town? You are more active than when you were in school. When I go back, I will also join your alumni association..."

   Liu Linlin's letter filled three pieces of paper.

After reading   , Lu Dong wrote back to her. As usual, writing half a piece of letter paper would run out of words.

  Put down the pen, fold the letter paper and stuff it into the envelope, affix it with a stamp, and wait for it to be mailed tomorrow.

The next morning, while having breakfast, Lu Dong saw a few newspapers, some of which were of poor quality. It said that the National Medical Association organized to send warmth to the countryside, a national fitness program, blood pressure measurement, registration to receive healthy egg supplements nutrition, etc.

   "Mom, where did these come from?" Lu Dong asked curiously.

  Hu Chunlan said casually: "Some time ago, someone posted it in Majia Village, and then came to the factory gate to post it for a while."

   Lu Dong glanced at the newspaper again and said, "This is all a lie. Those people come again and shoot them away."

  Hu Chunlan replied, "I'll tell your seventh uncle."

   "Seventh Uncle?" Lu Dong didn't understand.

   "The work of the factory is over for the time being." Hu Chunlan explained briefly: "The night has not been peaceful recently, and thieves have begun to riot in the surrounding villages. Your third grandfather asked someone to watch the factory's safety, and your seventh uncle took over the job."

  Lu Dong thought, it's really Uncle Seven's style.

  You let Seventh Uncle An steadily enter the workshop to work, and you may not know what to do.

  Seventh Uncle's serious mind, on security, is just right.

   With his serious ability, it doesn't matter if the thief doesn't come. If he does, it may be bad luck.

   Just after nine o'clock, Lu Dong rushed to the university town, waited for the official employees of the two stores to arrive, and held a routine morning meeting. He also officially revealed to a dozen people that he would go to the county seat and Quannan to open a store next.

   "Lu's Catering Company will not be satisfied with the status quo." Lu Dong is also inspiring employees: "As long as you are willing to work hard, there will be room for you to display this year, and it is possible to become the manager of the new store."

   There are two reserve store managers, Gao Ming and Fu Zhaoxia, and the employees also know that this is not a pie to satisfy their hunger.

   followed by a training routine twice a week.

   After ten o'clock, Lu Dong was about to go out to send a letter when he found that Director Zhao pushed the door open.

   "Brother Zhao, why are you free today?" Lu Dong greeted.

   Secretary Zhao smiled: "I have something to tell you."

   Lu Dong nodded slightly: "Let's go to the second floor."

  The two went up to the second floor and found a place to sit down.

Director Zhao went straight to the topic: "Lu Dong, let me tell you something, starting from next week, foreign businessmen will come to the county one after another. The university town is the focus of the inspection. Our leaders may bring foreign businessmen to the central intersection. Your two stores have the best business. It is very likely that you will come in and take a look, you should save more snacks, especially pay attention to environmental hygiene..."

   He looked around and found that the windows and tables on the second floor were clean and spotless, and he immediately laughed: "You have no problem with hygiene here, you should be mentally prepared."

   Lu Dong said: "No problem, have you come over to make an appointment?"

   Director Zhao shook his head: "No, I have to come over then, I will call you in advance, don't clear the venue, our leader is to let foreign businessmen see the business enthusiasm of the university town."

   "Okay." Lu Dong asked, "Brother Zhao, which country is the foreign businessman from?"

Zhao Gan smiled: "Most of them are of Chinese descent, and some of them went out to do business in the early years. They went out to change their nationalities in that special era. Now that they are developed, they want to come back and have a look. If there is a chance, they will invest by the way. The above policy is very clear. As for major issues of principle, the past is over, and there must be opportunities for people to invest in their hometowns, right? After all, economic construction is the center.”

   Lv Dong is very clear that foreign businessmen and foreign capital are not generally attractive to localities.

   is even a mandatory assessment task in many places.

  The two talked about the meeting of foreign businessmen. Lu Dong thought of Wang Dong and the middle-aged man he saw yesterday, and asked Secretary Zhao, "Can't the leader of the county in charge of investment promotion come over?"

   Director Zhao replied, "I don't know."

   Lu Dong asked again: "I heard that the brother-in-law of the leader in charge of investment promotion is Wang Datou who runs the game hall and video hall in our county?"

   "It's him." Officer Zhao has enough understanding: "Wang Datou is not too rude, but he is big-headed and small-minded. You shouldn't pay attention to this kind of person."

  Lu Dong nodded and asked, "That leader..."

   Director Zhao understood what he meant: "Except for being big and pompous, everything else is fine."

   Lu Dong didn't ask any more questions.

   When it was close to noon, Director Zhao said goodbye and left, and went to Wenyuan, a school.

   After sending him out, Lu Dong stopped by the mailbox to send a letter.

   Back from the intersection, Song Na was wearing sports clothes, holding a sun umbrella and carrying a handbag, and was standing north of the store door.

  Lu Dong found that since May 1st, Heidan's dressing style has changed. Although it is still dominated by sportswear and sneakers, the clothes are more fitted and not as loose as before.

   "To send a letter?" Song Na asked.

   Lu Dong didn't think much, and said directly: "I received a letter from Liu Linlin yesterday... Just a letter from Liu Zhaodi, an old classmate of Wen Yue, and I sent a letter to someone."

  Song Na laughed and dragged him north: "I have something to tell you."

  The two entered the store on the north side of Burger King, came to the second floor, and sat at the beige long table that had just been set.

  Song Na opened the bag, took out a box, and pushed it in front of Lu Dong: "It's for you."

   "What?" Lu Dong was curious.

  The box is covered with wrapping paper, and it is also tied with a ribbon with a bow.

   Lu Dong took it apart: "Watch?"

  The box was opened, and there was a stainless steel men's watch, Shanghai brand.

  Song Na took out the watch, pulled Lu Dong's left hand, and put it on his wrist without saying a word, very happy: "The size is right, it's just right!"

   Lu Dong has some discernment: "Black Egg, you bought such an expensive watch..."

   "I'm just happy for you to give your girlfriend a gift?" Song Na plausibly said, "Aren't you happy for me to give my boyfriend a gift?"

   She took out a box from her handbag and called Lu Dong to see it. Inside was a ladies watch of the same style but one size smaller: "We have one piece per person."

   Lu Dong couldn't refuse to accept it, and said, "How much did it cost?"

   When Song Na bought a watch yesterday, she listened to Zhao Juanjuan's opinion: "Don't worry, two watches together are not as expensive as a mobile phone."

   Lu Dong took out the lady's watch, grabbed Black Egg's hand again, and put it on her wrist.

  Song Na was in a good mood and warned, "I will wear it often in the future."

   "Okay." Lu Dong responded with a sigh, and said casually: "I wear it when I sleep, just treat me as your company."

  Song Na glared at him: "Jing is talking nonsense."

   After saying that, she couldn't help laughing happily.

  The phone rang suddenly, Song Na answered the phone, hung up and said, "The delivery guy has arrived at the door of the store, I'll pick up the goods."

   Lu Dong went out with her: "I'll go take a look too."
