  At about 1:30 noon, Lu Dong sent off the invited guests, came out of the county guest house, and was about to return to the commercial street. Wang Dong, a small body and a big head, followed from behind.

  Wang Dong greeted: "Lu Dong, go to the commercial street? Shall I go over with you?"

  Lü Dong glanced at Wang Dong's car, and said, "Okay, trouble brother Wang."

   is different from before. Now he is a partner. Wang Dong speaks more politely: "Who are we brothers?"

  Wang Dong drove, Lu Dong took the co-pilot, and the car drove out of the gate of the county guest house.

  Du Xiaobing, Da Yiwan, Qiao Weiguo and others have already returned to the university town first.

"Don't you think about buying a car?" Wang Dong said with a bit of reminder: "Ride a motorcycle all day, it's okay to say in our Qingzhao, many people know you, you have to leave Qingzhao to talk business outside, no A car, it's going to be a lot of trouble."

  Lu Dong knew what he said was the truth, and replied with a smile: "The new store has been opened one after another recently. My small company is spending too much money. After a while, I will definitely buy a car."

  Society will only become more and more realistic, especially in the business field. Don’t blame people for making things difficult or look down on you when you ride a motorcycle and wear big slippers to talk about business.

   The power of one person cannot be opposed to the general trend of the whole society.

  Lü's Catering Company will enter Quannan in the future, and it is necessary to talk to the manufacturer about direct purchase, etc. It will be much more convenient to have a car.

   Having said that, you can’t blame others for this. If a company can’t do even the simplest facade work, no one can expect other jobs to be good.

  Wang Dong said while driving: "The university town has a summer vacation, so it's quieter."

   Lu Dong said, "Most of the students have to go home during the summer vacation."

   "The Internet cafe in the university town is not full recently." Wang Dong said about the recent situation: "The business is a bit deserted than before."

   Lu Dong said: "It will be fine next month. By the end of August, people will all come back. There will be more people in the university town, and residents of various communities are moving in, waiting for the affiliated primary and secondary schools to start."

Since the holiday began in early July, the turnover of Burger King and Lu's Mala Tang has also declined significantly. Fortunately, a large number of residents in the community have moved in, so the storefront will not be deserted, but the turnover of the two stores has also dropped from the original one-day minimum of 3 Around 50,000, it dropped to less than 20,000.

   After all, commercial companies have not yet settled in on a large scale, and the residents of the community are far from full. The impact of the university holiday is still relatively large.

   "I heard that there will be more students moving in the university town this semester?" Wang Dong knew that Lu Dong was very well informed in the university town, and asked, "Are you sure?"

The two are now cooperating in business, and the investment is not small. Lu Dong said directly: "The School of Economics and the School of Finance have officially merged, and they will be relocated as a whole before September 1 to form a brand-new University of Finance and Economics. This school alone has a large number of students. At least double the size. Other normal universities, provincial universities and other schools will gradually move more departments to the university town.”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "Brother Wang, haven't you heard of it? University enrollment has begun to expand this year, and the number of students in various universities is increasing. I heard that several secondary schools in Quannan will form several new colleges or universities, and then move to new colleges or universities. in a college town."

  Wang Dong looked a little excited: "There will be more and more people in the university town!"

   Lu Dong said: "Our business in the university town will get better and better in the future."

  Wang Dong thought of something: "Will the new store of the Internet Cafe in the university city open in the middle or late next month?"

   "Okay." Lu Dong smiled: "Brother Wang, you can make up your mind about these matters, I don't really understand."

   When it comes to running Internet cafes and game rooms, he is far from Wang Dong.

   Anyway, it's just in the university town to open a new store, so you don't have to go far.

  Wang Dong asked, "Can you invite Director Yang to come over when we open?"

  Lu Dong thought for a while, then slowly shook his head: "Brother Wang, this industry is a bit special, let's make money safely, and keep a low profile."

Wang Dong thought of what his brother-in-law had said, and agreed: "Yes." He added: "Brother, there are more and more students in the university town. In the future, our basic business will be placed in the university town. After opening this new store, let's go to other places. The place is open, and if you encounter any trouble, you can't stand by."

"Of course, this is a business that we cooperate with." Lu Dong gave Wang Dong a vaccination in advance: "Brother Wang, let's talk about it first, there are many adults in the store, and the firefighters must be careful! Also, we must not do anything illegal. ."

  Wang Dong laughed: "It goes without saying! If I really mess up, my brother-in-law won't let me go! We can earn money legally, so why are we trying to make money? Isn't that stupid?"

   Lu Dongchong gave Wang Dong a thumbs up: "Brother Wang can see clearly."

   The car came to the commercial street and stopped in front of the Burger King. Lu Dong got off the car and went to the store. Wang Dong drove the car and turned around and went back to the university town to work on the new store.

  The new store opened before the end of the summer, and there is still a lot to do.

  Although it was past the meal time, there were still a large number of people coming and going in and out of the Burger King. Lu Dong took a closer look. The customers who came over were either teenagers themselves, or parents with children.

   There is no doubt that these people belong to the main audience of Western fried fast food.

  Lü Dong walked upstairs and downstairs. The 230-square-meter store was still full, and some of them would inevitably occupy seats to enjoy the cool air, but these people may become consumers after staying for a long time.

  The number of people entering the store to order food continues. On the basis of guaranteeing the quality of food and service, Lv Dong emphasizes the word "quick".

   Faster ordering and quicker pickup, allowing consumers to enjoy their meals as soon as possible.

   This is the biggest advantage of fast food.

   Then there is food safety, which is also a top priority.

  In the store, there are clear promise slogans in many prominent positions.

   "Burger King promises peace of mind with every bite!"

   In a short period of time, Burger King will not have a strong competitor in the county.

  The former KFC and McDonald's entered Qingzhao County, all after 2005.

   As for the university town, the market is much bigger than the county town, let alone KFC and McDonald's, even if more catering companies pour in, this rapidly expanding market is enough to carry it.

  Lv Dong is like an ordinary customer, looking around in the store, rarely speaking or doing things directly.

  Suddenly, near the playground area, there was a quarrel.

  Lu Dong hurried over, and Miao Yu, the person in charge of this store, arrived as soon as possible.

It turned out that the two children were arguing. Among them, the six- or seven-year-old boy knocked down the little girl's Coke cup. The little girl asked him to apologize. The little boy quarreled with him. The little girl showed no weakness and gave the little boy's Coke cup to him. overthrown.

   Then, the two children were arrested, and the parents who brought them quarreled.

  Miao Yu quickly calmed down. While persuading both sides, he whispered a few words to the waiter next to him, and the waiter hurried back to the bar.

   When the waiter came back, Miao Yu gave each child a cup of Coke, and another one gave a small gift.

  The two children stopped arguing, and the parents also changed from cloudy to sunny.

  Lu Dong nodded lightly, Miao Yu, the preparatory store manager, has grown significantly after a few months of training in the university town.

   These are all small things that happen in the store daily, but if they are not handled properly, the impact will be very bad.

   In the afternoon, when the traffic is a little smaller, Miao Yu will write the recruitment notice and hang it on the side of the store entrance.

   Waiters in the catering industry are inherently highly mobile positions.

  The salary of Lu's Catering Company is relatively generous, which is higher than the average level of Qingzhao in the same industry.

   But it's only one grade higher. The company recruits working employees, not uncles.

  There is room for growth in salary grades, such as waiters and even accountants, which are more common positions, but anyone and company with a bit of brains will not offer high wages as soon as they are recruited.

  Song Na was wearing a sun hat when she came in from outside and saw Lu Dong sitting at a table for two near the door, and went to sit across from him.

   "Did you go to No. 1 Middle School?" Lu Dong asked.

  Song Na took off her sun hat and said, "There are delivery ones. It's past one o'clock. No. 1 Middle School is on summer vacation. The store's business is not very good this month. It is estimated that the profit is at most 800 yuan."

   Lu Dong said: "It will be fine soon. There are more than 3,000 people in high school. I heard that the school will start in early August."

   "When I was in high school, I always looked forward to longer vacations." Song Na said the truth: "Now, I just hope that No. 1 Middle School will not have a holiday, and it's better to have classes during the winter and summer vacations."

   Lu Dong laughed: "The business is better if there are students. This is called different positions and different views."

  Song Na nodded slightly: "Your level has risen, but the book is not in vain."

   Lu Dong said: "I work harder than when I was in school."

  Before the holiday, as long as Professor Yang had a class, he would go to the Provincial University to audition, and Li Wenyue never stopped to borrow books from the Provincial University Library.

  Song Na and Lu Dong were classmates of three years in high school. They knew the bottom line and said directly: "It's more hard work than when you went to school, because you didn't work hard at all when you went to school."

   Lu Dong was not embarrassed and said, "There must be a process."

  Song Na stopped enough and looked at the watch on her left hand: "I won't tell you, I'll go back to the university town, there is a yoga class at 4:30."

   Lu Dong said: "Okay, you go back first, I'll stay here today."

  Song Na was about to leave and asked, "Aren't you going to the university town today?"

   "I won't go." Lu Dong said, "I'll go home directly at night."

  Song Na asked again, "Tomorrow?"

   Lu Dong said: "Tomorrow, Brother Zhao helped to contact the logistics staff of the provincial university and took me to see the office. As we expand our scale, we must have our own office."

  Song Na said seriously: "Do you have to recruit more people later?"

   "Take your time." Lu Dong nodded lightly: "Don't be too anxious."

  Song Na smiled and wore a sun hat as she rode a motorcycle back to the university town.

   After five o’clock, the traffic in the store began to skyrocket again, and the advertising in the early stage was in place. Many people in the county knew that a new store was opened here.

  Many people want to come and try it.

   It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that the customers gradually dispersed. Miao Yu stood behind the cash register and counted today's data through the system software.

   Lu Dong patiently waited aside, the first day of the opening of the Burger King in Qingzhao County, he needed to grasp the first-hand data.

   A few minutes later, Miao Yu raised his head and said with a smile, "Today's turnover is 13,661 yuan."

   "Not bad." Lu Dong nodded lightly: "Good start!"

   has done so many advertisements, and there are also various activities and gifts for the opening.

   This store in the county seat will definitely decline in the later period.
