The Era of Hard Work

   Chapter 258 The First Car (Subscribe)

   Entering August, the two new stores opened by Lv's Catering Company have been operating for half a month, and there has been a steady flow of funds. In addition, the two stores in the university town have been operating normally, and the company's funds have become abundant again.

   In the store on the second floor of Lu's Mala Tang, while no one was there in the early morning, Qian Feng, the company's only financial and accountant, reported to Lu Dong.

"The specific and detailed accounts will be calculated after tax verification and salary statistics. It will take a while." Qian Feng came here to earn wages and work, so he said, "Mr. Lu, here. For now, there are only rough statistics for July."

   Lu Dong nodded slightly: "Simply talk about it."

  Qian Feng flipped through the ledger and said: "In July, the two stores in the university town were open for a full month, and the operating income was 520,000 yuan, which was significantly lower than that in June."

  Lu Dong was well prepared. After all, in July, the universities will have their summer vacations. If it weren't for a large number of families who are about to attend the affiliated primary and secondary schools, and prop up the university town market, the operating income of the two stores in the university town would be terrible.

   It is purely a student business, and the off-season holiday is unavoidable.

   Fortunately, the university town will survive this year, and there will be a large number of commercial and household consumers in the future.

  Qian Feng's words continued: "The two stores in the county opened in mid-July, with an operating income of 130,000 yuan. Since the company's other investments will not be distributed until the end of the year, the company's actual operating income in July was 650,000 yuan, with a gross profit of 420,000 yuan."

   Gross profit is pure sales revenue minus the balance of purchase price, and net profit is much lower than this.

   Lu Dong said directly: "Including the surplus in June and July, the company needs to accumulate funds in the next few months to prepare to enter the Quannan market within this year."

  Qian Feng said: "Okay."

Lu Dong said again: "You continue to make the financial statement, and give me a copy after completion. In addition, if nothing else happens, we will move to a new office this month. You have been there, and the financial department needs to purchase specific office equipment. You make a list."

   A formal office is like a formal company. After working for Lu's Catering for a period of time, Qian Feng's heart was completely put into his stomach.

   After experiencing the ups and downs of the winery, he is very clear that everything else is false, and earning wages to support his family is the real thing.

   This is a private unit, but the company has high profits, simple personnel, and no one is forcing you to drink. The salary can be paid on time, and the goods will not be used to offset the salary, so that people can have money to support their families.

   For an ordinary person like Qian Feng, this is enough.

  The boss is young, but he knows how to be flexible. Unlike the original factory, the leader would wear small shoes without drinking. Is that work to earn money? It's clearly exchanging life for money.

   The body is broken, the life is gone, and the old and the young are still left alone.

   There should not be too many examples like this.

   Lu Dong went downstairs to the back door, Su Xiaoshan was preparing to distribute goods to the store in the county.

   "Boss, is it your uncle who comes to deliver the chicken every time?" Su Xiaoshan wiped his sweat and asked.

   Lu Dong knew that he was talking about Uncle Tie and asked, "What's wrong?"

  Su Xiaoshan laughed happily: "It's very interesting, he smokes me every time he comes, and I've never seen him take out a cigarette."

   Lu Dong said directly: "Xiaoshan, you can try next time. If you can get cigarettes from him, count me as a loser."

  Du Xiaobing came out of the store and said, "I'll try it next time." He picked up Lu Dong's wrist and glanced at his watch: "Let's go?"

   Lu Dong asked: "I have contacted the car."

  Du Xiaobing pointed to the west: "The van is waiting at the front door."

   "Go!" Lu Dong entered the back door.

  Du Xiaobing followed, the two went out the front door, got on a Tianjin Dafa, and asked the driver to go to Quannan.

  The two are going to buy a car in Quannan.

  The news that Du Xiaobing inquired about has been settled. There was a public factory restructuring. During the period, various problems occurred, and finally reached the final step.

  Similar situations are common in this era. The assets in the factory inevitably lead to a feast of sharing, and many cars were sold first and fell into the hands of some related second-tier dealers.

  Du Xiaobing has elementary and junior high school classmates, and he is doing this with his family.

  Thinking of being able to drive a car, Lao Du was a little excited. For people who like cars, riding in a car and driving are completely different feelings.

   "I asked Qian Feng, we have hundreds of thousands of dollars in our account." Du Xiaobing turned around from the co-pilot and asked Lu Dong, "Are we buying a better car?"

   Lu Dong’s old saying is repeated: “It is important to expand the scale of the company.”

After Lao Du said that day, Lu Dong specially asked someone to ask about the new car prices of various common cars on the market. As far as the Qingzhao area is concerned, the common models of Santana and Jetta are around 140,000, and the price of Fukang is about the same. 2,000 is close to 200,000, and the cheapest is undoubtedly the little Alto, which is only 70,000 yuan.

   As for the German luxury troika, it is not considered.

   At this stage, it is unrealistic for Lu's Catering Company to buy a car worth hundreds of thousands.

   Ordinary a new car roofed a house of more than 100 square meters in the urban area of ​​Quannan, which is not an exaggeration at all.

   But the social environment is here, sometimes there is no face, and many business negotiations will suddenly increase the trouble.

   Lu Dong asked, "Which factory did the car come from? No problem?"

   "Absolutely no problem!" Du Xiaobing made inquiries clearly: "The car from the TV factory, before many people leave..."

  The words didn't go further, and those who knew it would naturally understand.

   Lu Dong sighed: "The TV factory that came out of Taishan TV?"

  Du Xiaobing nodded slightly: "It's him."

   Lu Dong can only say: "Such a big factory, it will collapse. At least half of the TV sets in my village are from Taishan."

   "Don't talk about Taishan TV." The driver suddenly answered: "My heavy truck group has been laid off! This is the top three heavy trucks in the country!"

   Hearing this, Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing could not continue to talk about it. Life is not easy. For some families, these two years have been especially difficult.

  The Dafa van, under the command of Du Xiaobing, drove to a warehouse compound near Shilibao Market. The two iron doors of the warehouse were closed, and it looked like no strangers could enter.

  Du Xiaobing took out his mobile phone and made a call. After waiting for a few minutes, the big iron gate opened a crack from the inside, and someone came out to see it.

   rolled down the car window, Du Xiaobing waved over there, the man nodded, both doors were opened, and when the van entered, the iron door was closed again.

  Lyu Dong saw these, inexplicably thought of those scenes of illegal transactions in the movie.

   But he knew Du Xiaobing, and Lao Du couldn't fool around.

   The man who opened the door was about the same age as Du Xiaobing. He came to say hello to Lao Du first, and said to the driver, "Someone has hot water and a fan in the delivery room, so go and sit."

  The driver got off the car and went directly to the delivery room.

   Lu Dong also got out of the car, Du Xiaobing introduced: "This is my brother and partner, Lu Dong." He introduced to Lu Dong again: "This is my child, Mu Kun."

   Mu Kun came over to shake hands with Lu Dong, and said politely: "Brother Xiaobing is my brother, don't be polite, it's like coming home."

   Lu Dong said with a smile, "You're welcome."

   The three of them went to the greenhouse together. Mu Kun didn't talk much, and his mouth was much stricter than that of Old Du.

  Du Xiaobing said: "The place you made is the same as the spies' joint."

   Mu Kun smiled slightly: "Although these cars are coming on the right way and the procedures are all fine, but doing this business is easy to attract people's jealousy, it's better to keep a low profile."

   He properly revealed a bit: "In the TV factory, the workers are making a fuss. If they knew that they were leading the sale of cars to my family at a low price, they would have to come and smash the warehouse."

  Du Xiaobing's family has also done a similar business, and even accompanied his father to do it in practice, he echoed: "Yes."

   Mu Kun said again: "Let's make a fortune in a low-key manner, making money is the real thing."

   Before coming to the warehouse, Mu Kun took out the key to unlock, opened the big iron door, and then turned on the lights. The warehouse was full of cars and all kinds of cars.

  Lü Dong followed one by one and looked at the past. All the cars were not new cars, but they had one thing in common. The worst ones were 70% new.

  Mu Kun said: "Many factory leaders buy cars frantically, but they don't actually use them many times, and the factory is ruined by tossing..."

   "Tiger head Ben!" Du Xiaobing stopped in front of a big Ben, then looked beside him: "New A6, 100 more!"

   "Xiao Bing, how about?" Mu Kun stretched out the thumb and index finger of his left hand and gestured: "Da Ben only needs this number."

  Du Xiaobing glanced at the car, then at Lu Dong, and shook his head: "Forget it, I'm a poor ghost."

  Mu Kun understands that the person in charge is Lv Dong: "Brother, look carefully, whichever one is in the picture, just go up and test it, the key is on it."

   "Okay!" Lu Dong didn't look at the luxury cars inside, but carefully looked at the few cars outside.

   He got on a Jetta, a Santana and a 2000.

   After looking at the exterior and the interior, he finally opened the driver's door of a black Sonata: "Brother Mu, shall I try this one?"

   Mu Kun waved his hand: "Go! Just turn around in the yard."

  Lu Dong got into the car to start a fire, slowly drove out of the warehouse, turned around twice in the large yard, tried the clutch and gearbox, etc., without any jerky feeling, just like the appearance of 80% new.

The car drove back to the warehouse, and Mu Kun watched Lu Dong come down and said, "This car was bought by the TV factory in the second half of last year. The paint has not been repaired, and the watch has not been adjusted. It has driven less than 2,000 kilometers in total, and it is said that it is 90% new. Not too much."

  Lu Dong got out of the car and looked around again. Anyway, with his eyes, he couldn't see any problem.

  Du Xiaobing also came over to look at it and asked Lu Dong, "Just this one?"

  Lu Dong nodded and said to Mu Kun, "Brother Mu, I like this one, let me quote a price!"

   "I'm not lying about what you brought here by the soldier." Mu Kun still stretched out those two fingers: "80,000 yuan, I'll go through all the formalities for you, and it'll be over today!"

   To be able to do this kind of business, naturally there is a certain network of relationships.

  Du Xiaobing nodded at Lu Dong, but Lu Dong didn't hesitate and replied, "Okay!"

   Mu Kun came over to shake hands with Lu Dong: "Happy cooperation!"

   Lu Dong said: "Happy cooperation!"

  Because of Du Xiaobing's relationship, Mu Kun personally accompanied him to go through the procedures such as the transfer, and the bank transfer was only after the transfer was completed.

   I just bought a car. There was no mess in the middle, and the procedures went smoothly.

   By the time he returned in the afternoon, Du Xiaobing had already driven a black Santana and acted as Lu Dong's driver.

   Although this guy is a novice, he drives very well.

   Lu Dong was thinking about it. If something happens in the future, he will pull Old Du out as a driver.
