The Pentium Era - South to North

"Do you still remember the time last month when 'Catering Men and Women' were ordered to temporarily close their business? That was the time when guests had collective diarrhea at home and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suspected food poisoning?" Zhang Chen asked Xiaofang.

"certainly."

Xiaofang thought to herself, how could she not remember such a big thing and it was last month? Wasn't this asking knowingly?

“When something happened that time, I was very nervous. I had never been nervous before, and I felt strange.

"That closure was the earliest time when your sister and I went to Sijiqing to open a store. As a result, after the store was opened, there was no business at all in the entire market. At that time, we were very nervous every day. After all, we had invested almost all our money. In the stall, if the stall turns yellow, we don’t know what to do next. Both of us are ready to go south to work again.

"'Diet Men and Women' is not. The investment in 'Diet Men and Women' is not big. Even if it becomes pornographic, it doesn't matter much. It has no impact on me at all. In this case, why am I still very nervous? I can't figure it out myself." When I was in Shanghai, I received a call from Xiaoli. It could be said that my hands and feet were cold, and I kept saying in my heart, it's over, it's over.

"That night, I couldn't sleep all night. When I video chatted with you at 11 o'clock, I said everything was fine. In fact, I was about to collapse. I was restless all night and couldn't sleep. As soon as the launch ceremony was over the next day, I rushed to Hangzhou and drove all the way. I was photographed countless times, which was something that had never happened before.

"Doesn't it sound a bit funny to you? You will definitely say that it is just this one project, right?"

Zhang Chen said, Xiaofang nodded, then shook her head, Xiaofang said:

"I know you will be very anxious if something happens to the 'Eating Man and Woman', but I really didn't expect it to be as serious as you said."

"I didn't expect it myself. At the beginning, I was still laughing at myself. I criticized Xiaoli for not being calm enough and being unable to keep her temper when things happened. In fact, I was just as impatient as she was. I thought it was because I was older. I no longer have the courage of an ordinary man, and my focus on gains and losses has become heavier, but I think about it later.”

Zhang Chen paused here. Xiaofang still held his hand with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to push Zhang Chen's cup on the coffee table towards him. Zhang Chen said, " Thank you." He picked up the cup and took a sip of water. After putting down the cup, he continued:

"When something happened at the Jiubao Logistics Base, I wasn't so nervous when I was at the Public Security Bureau. Every time something happened to 'Half an Acre Field' before, I wasn't so nervous. Why was I so nervous when something happened to 'Food and Drink'? I felt vaguely in my heart I feel that something can happen to the logistics base and Half an Acre of Field, and even Tuxiang Garden can have something happen to it, but nothing can happen to 'Food and Drinking Men and Women'."

"Why?" Xiaofang asked.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "I don't know why. Anyway, that's what I felt in my heart. Later I calmed down and thought about it, and I figured it out. This matter has something to do with Fatty Fu. 'Food and Drink' is not only my company, but also It can be said that he fought hard to the last minute for Master Fu's company.

"Gu Gong was right about that cookbook. He said it was Master Fu's last song, and it really was his last song. Master Fu exhausted his last energy and used this cookbook to bid farewell to this world. To bring his life to an end, that's why he was still revising this recipe book the day before his death.

"He passed away very peacefully, and he was old enough. As the saying goes, he passed away at the end of his life. In fact, there is no such thing as "the end of his life." Everyone knows his own body. Even if he has a cold or a cough, a person will still feel sad. When he When all body functions are about to stop, wouldn't he know?

"Of course he knows. Others can't tell. He is actually enduring and holding on. He just wants to walk with dignity and doesn't tell others.

"Master Fu just endured it like this and finished the recipe book. So after finishing it, he was eager to go back to Sanya. He knew that his days were running out and he wanted to die in Sanya. He didn't want to die in Sanya. He was tossing and tossing to trouble others. Even when he died, he knew that he was too fat and it would be difficult to carry him upstairs when he died. He was not in his room, but went downstairs to lie down and wait for death.

"That's right, he is such a sensible and decent person. To put it simply, he does not want to trouble others, whether he is alive or dead. To put it more highly, this is a person's dignity, or nobleness, this is his Choose your own way to say goodbye to this world.

"At Fatty Fu's farewell ceremony, I saw Gu Gong crying bitterly, crying so sadly, I was also crying in my heart.

"Gu Gong said that this cookbook was Master Fu's last swan song. He left his swan song to 'Eating Man and Woman'. At that time, looking at Fatty Fu lying there, I told myself, I must not If I live up to this trust, I will definitely make 'Catering Men and Women' the most amazing catering company in the country.

"For no other reason, just because 'Eating Man and Woman' is in my heart, it has actually become one with Fatty Fu, so when I heard that something happened to 'Eating Man and Woman', especially something as embarrassing as food poisoning, I would Nervous, irritable, guilty, restless..."

"That's why you thought of buying back all the equity of 'Food and Drink' and turning it into your own company, so that you can fully control it. You don't want to let Master Fu off, right?" Xiaofang said. I stopped Zhang Chen and asked.

Zhang Chen nodded and said: "Yes, after thinking about it clearly, it is actually like this, including that I especially hope that Xiaoli and Du Tao can do a good job in this company. They are Master Fu's apprentices. No matter what happens to them at work, If they make any mistakes, I will only teach them, help them and tolerate them.

"But I am a business owner myself. I know how many times investors view managers. They are very impatient and want immediate results, without giving managers any time. There will be conflicts between the two. 'Half an acre of land' requires It’s not your sister and me, but some joint-stock company. Many things I do may not be tolerated by investors and shareholders, so I have been driven away a long time ago.”

"But, your 'Half Acre of Field' was very successful." Xiaofang said.

"That's from the results, not the process. During the process, there were many things that even your sister was opposed to in her heart at the time and felt that I had done something wrong. It's just that your sister has always been accommodating to me. For example, when I bought Yan'an Road The house of the specialty store was doing well in wholesale business in Sijiqing. Suddenly, I felt like I was going crazy and decided not to do it. I wanted to join an agency franchise.

"Although from the perspective of hindsight, this step was the right one, at the time, even Ayong and the stall owners nearby didn't understand. They thought I was just looking for trouble and was just having a seizure.

"Including the later merger with Qunying Garment Factory, which even Sister Tianlin was opposed to, and the later establishment of the 'Riverside Oil Painting Gallery', etc., where I bought a lot of oil paintings that were not worth anything at all in the eyes of others at the time.

"There are too many things like this. These things seemed silly and wrong at the time. In fact, I was the same, and I was just as ignorant. Some of them were pushed up and down, such as the merger of Qunying Garment Factory. Most of them were He was framed by Liu Cheng.

"Also, I was hot-headed and impulsive. I opened an oil painting studio, opened a restaurant, and built a logistics base, including buying a hotel in Sanya and setting up the World Tropical Botanical Garden. My success is not due to my unique vision or business acumen. Most of it depends on luck, and society changes too fast, but I was lucky enough to make the right move.

“I just did it in a daze, and then after a few years I realized that I had done everything right.

"That's it. If 'Half an Acre' is not my own, how can the shareholders bear with me? Now at 'Half an Acre', they will support me unconditionally whatever I decide. That's because I have succeeded. Success" The success of a person means the right to speak, and others will think that his farts also smell good.

"These people from 'Half Acre Field' will buy my account. You and Liu Yun Xiaohu are not buying my account or not, but they will support me because of my face. However, if new investors come in, They will neither buy my account nor look after me, and they will not let "Eating Men and Women" develop according to my ideas.

"I was particularly worried that something like this would happen at 'Eating Men and Women', so I had doubts about my original decision. Was it wrong?

"So I thought, either 'Half an Acre Field' or myself should take back the 'Food and Drink' men and women. That way, I can do it according to my own wishes, so as not to live up to Fatty Fu's expectations and let 'Food and Drink' Man and woman' really grows into what I want it to look like."

Zhang Chen finished what he wanted to say and looked at Xiaofang, who asked, "Are you done?"

Zhang Chen nodded: "It's over."

"Let me tell you what I think next, okay?" Xiaofang asked.

Zhang Chen said yes.

"Dear, I understand what you said. You are not the only one who has this idea. Many entrepreneurs I have met will have this idea. How do you say that? 'I cherish my own things'. Ideas are my own and the company's." The shelf is built with hard work by oneself. Entrepreneurs treat their businesses really like their own children.

"Indeed, children are cute no matter how you look at them. Entrepreneurs are like this to all investors. They welcome their money and smile on the surface, but in their hearts, they are resistant to them. I think you have a few stinkers. If you don’t understand anything about money, why should you point fingers when it comes?

"They don't even think it's necessary to change their own style and management methods, let alone let others participate in management. I have seen too many entrepreneurs like this. This is what we invest in. We must directly The reason for face-to-face communication with the entrepreneurial team is that if this team is a team that cannot communicate, no matter how good your project is, I will withdraw.

"Why? Because no one can guarantee that they are 100% correct. When your business faces risks, you still insist on going your own way and being stubborn. I'm sorry. It's not that I misjudged you, but that I was kidding about my investment... "

"Why do you feel like I'm a bit like this kind of person?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, you are." Xiaofang said angrily, "Someone told me that if you are with someone you get along with, you will be easier to get along with and more generous than anyone else. If you are with someone you don't get along with, you will be in the toilet. Stone……"

"It's smelly and tough, right?" Zhang Chen laughed and asked, "Did Tan Shuzhen or Liu Yun tell you that?"
