The Era of Hard Work

   Chapter 235

   In the next few days, Lv Dong paid special attention to Qingzhao news and newspapers. Starting from Tuesday, Qingzhao media successively mentioned the matter of foreign businessmen coming to Qingzhao to investigate and invest.

   For a county like Qingzhao, it is a major event in economic development.

   There is no trivial matter in foreign affairs, and it is still in this era centered on economic development.

   Lu Dong also held a special meeting, and at the same time emphasized that no matter who is visiting, the store's work should be done as it should, and the normal business of the store should not be delayed.

   Director Zhao also specifically warned about this.

  Because of the visit of leading cadres, the store cannot operate normally, and can only be used for reception, which may cause foreign businessmen to worry about the business environment.

   Lu Dong is very clear that externally and internally are often different.

   Even if someone really comes over then, there is no need for the staff to worry about the reception.

   At the same time, the renovation of Lujiajuewei Cooked Food University Town store began. A store salesperson came over. Aunt Qi was transferred from Chengguan Store to University Town, and she was in charge of the store with two women in the village who were under 20 years old.

  Li Jiazhu began to decorate, and the seventh aunt took the two girls to the Burger King and Lu's Mala Tang respectively for publicity, mainly to send some snacks in small packages to try.

   The response is generally okay.

   As far as Taidong is concerned, there is currently no manufacturer of similar snacks.

   Burger King and Lu’s Mala Tang also offer a free tasting event when you buy a set meal.

   At around eleven o'clock on Friday morning, Lu Dong received a call from Director Zhao, and Yang Liewen and a few foreign businessmen set off by car and will soon be near the central intersection.

  The store is open for business normally, because it is approaching noon, customers come to Lu's Mala Tang for dinner one after another.

  Lu Dong was waiting near the door of the store.

   Don't say anything else, you have to cooperate with Yang Liewen alone.

  Yang Liewen helped him cut the ribbon for the opening of the business. I don't know how many little ghosts and gods came to the door.

   These days, many people have developed the habit of eating cards.

   After ten minutes, seven or eight people walked from the intersection, Yang Liewen walked in front, and introduced the people next to him as he walked.

  Lü Dong took a closer look. Most of the people around Yang Liewen were dark-haired and yellow-skinned. Two or three of them looked like mixed race, but they also looked Chinese.

   There seems to be no translation, these people seem to be able to communicate in Chinese.

   Before reaching the front of the store, Lu Dong came out of the store, and when everyone came over, he went to greet Yang Liewen.

   As if facing an ordinary store owner, Yang Liewen did not make an introduction, but just invited others to follow Lu Dong into the store and listen to him introduce the situation of Lu's Mala Tang store.

  There are more and more people in the store, and the business is booming.

  Lü Dong heard the accents of these people, probably not from Wanwan, but from Southeast Asia with a high probability.

   Yang Liewen and the others didn't stay in the store much, and left without even staying for five minutes.

   When he went out, a short mixed-race man looked back at the signboard of Lu's Mala Tang, and the glass door was almost full of customers.

   The short half-blood man fell behind the team and asked Director Zhao, "Does this shop really have a secret recipe that has been passed down for centuries?"

  Secretary Zhao was very able to help Lv Dong blow: "Mr. Tao, it seems that there is such a thing. The traditional craftsmanship of Lvjia Village used in this shop is said to have been approved by Emperor Qianlong when he went to the south of the Yangtze River."

  Tao Dan nodded: "I'll come and taste it when I have time." He smiled and said to Director Zhao, "I'm also in the catering business abroad."

   Secretary Zhao smiled: "I know the boss here and he is very enthusiastic. If Mr. Tao is willing, I can arrange for you to have a catering exchange."

  Tao Dan laughed: "Thank you! It will definitely benefit me a lot from being able to communicate with my domestic counterparts."

   This man speaks Mandarin very well. If he hadn't read the other party's resume, Mr. Zhao would have suspected that Tao Dan was an exporter for domestic sales.

   The group walked north, and soon came to the vicinity of the eight o'clock line. A young man with a small body and a big head was standing in front of the door. When he saw this group of people, he took the initiative to greet them.

   Secretary Zhao did not expect that this person knew many foreign businessmen, but he was relieved to think that he was the brother-in-law of the leader in charge of investment promotion.

  Wang Dong shook hands with Tao Dan: "Mr. Tao, are you free tonight? I'm the host, let's have another drink?"

  Tao Dan refused with a smile: "Mr. Wang's drinker is amazing, so I won't show my ugliness."

  Wang Dong also stopped enough and didn't say more.

   Mr. Zhao is a person who has a special wink and just observes silently.

   The leader's brother-in-law is a businessman, and it is quite normal to introduce foreign merchants to him.

   He knows a little bit, these merchants are not particularly big ones.

   However, the reception work in the county still attaches great importance to it. When the leaders held a meeting, they emphasized the story of buying a horse's bone with a thousand dollars.

   Lu Dong waited until Yang Liewen left with these people before returning to the store.

   These days, it is normal to attach importance to foreign investment and foreign businessmen.

   Which part of the country does not pay attention to?

   It is difficult to go out, but it is still possible to bring in.

   Even a small foreign businessman is foreign capital.

   With the current situation of bankruptcy and restructuring of a large number of factories in Qingzhao County, the introduction of foreign capital can stimulate employment and stimulate the economy.

  Although the ranking of the top 100 counties is not officially announced, but if it really falls off the list, the leadership of Qingzhao County may have a major earthquake.

   After this wave of foreign businessmen visited the university town, Lu Dong paid special attention to the news in this regard, and there was no news of investment placement.

   seems to be gone after the inspection.

   On the contrary, there is a short half-blooded man. After coming to the Mala Tang restaurant, like Qian Rui, he runs here every day, and he wants a Mala Tang set meal at noon, and he has to wait for half an hour before leaving.

   Unlike Qian Rui, this guy neither talks to people nor is interested in the women in the store. Instead, he observes the flow of customers in the store with great interest.

During the    period, he also wrote and drew.

  Because he came here often, Lu Dong noticed him and observed him secretly, but he didn't take the initiative to say hello. This person obviously had some ideas.

   Lu Dong also had some guesses, so he called Director Zhao, and Director Zhao told him that the foreign businessman had inquired about his shop and company, and seemed very interested in the hot business of Lu's Mala Tang.

  Foreign businessmen come to invest, not to do good deeds, let alone poverty alleviation, but to make money.

   Lu Dong responds to all changes with no change.

   The identity of a foreigner may be able to scare other people, but not him.

   This person came to the store for more than a week, and then disappeared for two days. Just when Lu Dong thought this person might leave, he led a servant and took the initiative to come to the door.

   The attendant is from the county investment promotion bureau, and went to the Mala Tang shop to find Lu Dong.

   Waiting for Lu Dong to come from the north, this person introduced the two sides: "Lu Dong, this is Mr. Tao Dan from Singapore, a distinguished guest from our county."

   The short half-blood man took the initiative to shake hands with Lu Dong: "Boss Lu, this is the second time we have met. I came here with your Director Yang some time ago. I wonder if I can take a step to talk?"

   The person from the China Merchants Bureau said, "Mr. Tao Dan has something important to discuss with you."

   Lu Dong glanced at him and said calmly, "I have a shop in the north that has just been renovated, please come with me."

   After leaving the Mala Tang shop, he led Tao Dan and the two of them to the north. After the renovation of the two shops in the former Fat Sheep Hotpot, the shop on the south side has been connected to Burger King.

   The store’s seating capacity has more than doubled, which has also boosted Burger King’s turnover.

   Burger King's single-day turnover rose to 15,000.

   The store on the north side, the huge signboard of Lu's Juewei Deli has been hung above the door, and the interior decoration has also been completed, waiting for the auspicious day to open.

  Lu Dong led Tao Dan and the two in. There were two small tables in front of the stairs at the entrance. He pulled out the chairs: "Mr. Tao, please take a seat."

  Unexpectedly, the staff member of the China Merchants Bureau took the initiative to say: "You guys talk, I'll go outside and make a phone call."

   He knew that Tao Dan came with a purpose, but he also inquired about Lu Dong before he came.

   It is his job to receive and serve foreign businessmen, and it is an inescapable responsibility, so Tao Dan brought people over when he asked for it.

   But this Lu Dong has an identity, and he is not something he can mess with. He has made an introduction, and the two sides want to talk about whatever they want. He doesn't want to mix it up.

   If you offend foreign businessmen, you don’t have good fruit to eat, but if you offend Lu Dong?

   Would the person nicknamed the leader of the Five Poisons be simple?

   Those who can achieve some achievements in the public sector have their own uniqueness in the way of life.

   Inside the store.

   Tao Dan, who is not tall and probably in his thirties, sat down, turned his head to look around, and asked, "Boss Lu, is this your driving?"

   Lu Dong said in Mandarin as much as possible: "My store in the village." He didn't want to go around in circles and asked directly, "I don't know what Mr. Tao has to do with me?"

  Tao Dan did not answer directly, but said with a smile: "I came back from Singapore and wanted to invest in my home country. My father was originally from Quannan, and he specially asked me to invest in Quannan in order to repay my homeland."

   Hearing this, Lu Dong said with admiration: "Mr. Tao has a heart."

  In the early years, there may be various reasons to fly across the river, but after the development, they will not forget their homeland and are willing to repay their homeland. Such people are worthy of respect.

Tao Dan obviously has an idea: "My father went to Singapore, and he happened to be engaged in the catering industry. This time I come back and also want to invest in the catering industry in your country. My father never forgets the special food in my homeland, and my taste is also influenced by my father, especially I like Quannan’s special food. I have tasted various kinds of food for ten days here, and I am particularly impressed by Boss Lu’s Lu’s Mala Tang.”

   He praised: "The taste is unique, the audience is wide, and the business is booming."

   "Thank you." Lu Dong didn't know why, but had a bad feeling.

  Tao Dan's smile is changing: "Boss Lu, it's a pity that such excellent food and business are limited to one place. I don't know if you have any big plans?"

   This time I came to the homeland of my deceased old father. He did not come to invest, but to find a way to make a fortune.

   Their family is indeed engaged in the catering business in Singapore, but they have not done much. After the death of my father, the business has deteriorated and it is almost impossible to sustain it.

   Recently, some of these people have returned to their hometown to visit relatives. For some reason, they turned into investors.

Many people who were only wealthy at first made a fortune. After I went back, I talked to these people. The treatment they enjoyed here is incredible. Even with a small amount of money, they can win the local very profitable factories and factories. company.

   There are big cities and places, Tao Dan dare not go to those places, where information is smooth and easy to build, so I chose a small town in my father's homeland.
