   Chapter 210 Don't mess around (please subscribe)

The time after night falls is busy for most businesses at the central intersection. The weather after the Qingming Festival is getting warmer every day. There are too many students and workers who do not need to work overtime. They are willing to come out and take a look. , Since Lv Dong first set up a street stall last year, he has firmly established the status of the first business district in the university town.

   But for some, this time was peaceful again.

   For example, a store that sells musical instrument picture books, such as fat sheep hot pot.

   The brightly lit hot pot restaurant has not many customers. The two stores opened up have a total of four or five people eating at tables.

   These people are not students, Ma Yun came to go upstairs and downstairs and found that most of them were people on the construction site.

  Compared to the county seat, the business of this newly opened store is not a little bit worse.

  Ma Yunlai officially took over the Fat Sheep Hotpot University Town Store, and did not return to the county immediately. He planned to stay here for a few days to find the crux of the business of the hotpot restaurant.

  Sheep Hotpot was not founded by Ma Yunlai and Yang Fugui, but bought from others.

  The business of this hot pot restaurant has always been good, and then it became the real fat sheep in the hands of Yang Fugui and Ma Yunlai.

  In the early and mid 1990s, some businesses could even be acquired without spending money.

   Several stores in the county seat are all managed by Ma Yunlai, and the business has been good since Yang Fugui's Hailong Hotel took over.

  To be precise, after Hailong Hotel officially took over the fat sheep hotpot, the business was better.

  Because there are no competitors, those who opened hot pot restaurants around have either closed the store or stayed away.

  Sheep Hotpot Restaurant can be said to be a very successful business done by Hailong Hotel. Ma Yunlai, as the direct person in charge, has his own way and method of doing business.

   Those who grew up savagely in that era are used to some simple and effective methods.

  Although Yang Fugui has the intention of completely whitewashing, the people under his hands and the second shareholder are not ready at all.

   Getting used to taking shortcuts, a few people are willing to take the complicated road with twists and turns.

  Ma Yunlai left the hot pot restaurant, walked a few steps forward, and stood on the small square to look around.

  The temporary market was very lively, the small square was crowded with people, and a large number of students wandered between the market and shops.

   Among them, the southernmost section with the largest flow of people is diagonally opposite to the store entrance in the southwest.

  Ma Yunlai put his hands behind his back, paced, and headed south.

   A shop next to the Fat Sheep Hot Pot is being renovated. The lights are brightly lit at night, and the name of "Hamburg King" is written on the sign outside.

   Further south is a small supermarket, Halloween.

   Then there is the Lu's Mala Tang with a red background and white characters. From a distance, it almost looks like it's too close. Looking through the transparent glass door, there are people inside.

   The crowd seems to be crowding out the store.

   This business is good, especially in contrast to hot pot restaurants.

  Ma Yun came to watch for a while, turned around and walked back, returned to the store, and called the manager of the fat sheep hot pot.

   "Lv's Mala Tang business in the south has always been so good?" Ma Yunlai asked.

"It's good to open the business." The manager has been here all day, and he understands it very well: "It is said that people start serving people at around ten o'clock in the morning, and they continue to be crowded by nine o'clock in the evening, and it is full at noon and dinner time. "

  Ma Yunlai sat on a chair and tapped the wooden table with his fingers: "I remember they opened for more than ten days? It should be past the boom period when they just opened."

The store manager said what he saw and heard: "From the past two days, the situation on their side should be stabilized. There are rumors recently that their turnover on weekends is tens of thousands, and at other times it can be stable at eight or nine thousand yuan. Profits are also high.”

  Ma Yun's hand that knocked on the table suddenly stopped: "Such a shop sells some roadside skewers..."

   "It's not just this store." The manager said the news he heard: "It is said that they want to open a chain store like us."

  Ma Yunlai suddenly asked: "What do you think is the key to them being able to grow bigger?"

Just like many people in this era, they think that some things in the world with ancient heritage have incredible magic power. The store manager gave a standard answer: "Secret recipe! Maybe ten years ago, I have bought their food, and it tastes really good, it is said that it is the unique secret recipe of the owner Lu Dong's family, the soup, the sauce, the taste is unforgettable."

   "Soup and sauce?" Ma Yunlai captured the key: "I remember who mentioned that they also have hot pot in their store?"

   The manager said: "Yes, it's called Mala Tang Hot Pot, which is a hot pot with skewers and dipped in sauce."

  Ma Yunlai nodded lightly: "It looks like it can be used in hot pot."

  What is the most important thing about a hot pot restaurant? Rely on what to taste? Isn't it just soup and sauce?

  Ma Yunlai thought about it for a moment, and said to the store manager: "You pay attention to the situation over there, if you have nothing to do, ask more."

   "Okay!" The store manager responded first, and then said, "Guoqiang specifically warned that there is not only an official background, but also a foreigner, so let's not conflict with that side."

  Ma Yunlai waved his hand: "It's not a conflict over there, understand the situation."

   Did he not investigate Lu Dong? Of course he wouldn't mess around.

   Having said that, the person who founded Fat Sheep Hotpot also had an official background and was not an ordinary person either.

   Ordinary people can’t open several hot pot restaurants in succession.

   In the end, the restaurants such as Fat Sheep Hotpot are still in the hands of the Hailong Hotel.

   Brother Yang always said that the times have changed, but what has changed? It's not much different from before. If nothing else, how much has Brother Yang changed? How many relocated households in college towns have been set up together with him.

   It is with the strong support of the relocated households that they have the confidence to build the tallest building in Qingzhao.

   Those people's money is really easy to make, and the poor become rich. They don't even know how much they weigh. They poured some ecstasy soup, and the money was spit out obediently.

  …………

  Lü's Mala Tang shop, technicians from Dujuan came to install computers and monitors, and both shops were installed.

Since the surveillance is installed, Lu Dong simply installed it in a relatively complete manner. It is installed indoors and outdoors, upstairs and downstairs. The catering industry is dealing with people, and any kind of people can come across it. If there is surveillance video, many things are easier to say. to be clear.

   Surveillance computers are not cheap these days, and the cheap ones are extremely ineffective. The equipment used by Lu Dong is of high natural quality. Both stores are installed and tens of thousands of dollars are spent.

Taking advantage of the installation by the technicians, Lu Dong asked some technical questions specifically. He had a little foundation in using a computer before, plus the instructions of the technicians, and if there were any small problems in monitoring, he could make adjustments himself without waiting for someone to come from Quannan. run over here.

  In the small square, Lu Dong stood in the parking space just marked out, looking up at the human-mounted surveillance probe on the top of the second floor.

   The parking space here was drawn after he discussed it with Qin Ya. The developer didn't care at all. He drew seven or eight drawings in one go, and it was also registered.

After   , here is the package of shop 1.

   There is also Burger King. When the store opens, you can also demarcate parking spaces.

  The square is a public facility, but the spacious checkered brick road in front of the shops is owned by Wenyuan, a school.

   Anyway, in the end, these will become very difficult problems left over from history.

  Lu Dong said to Du Xiaobing: "We can take pictures in this area of ​​our store. When the Burger King is installed on the second floor, there are very few dead spots outside the store."

  Du Xiaobing looked at the surveillance camera and said, "This position is high enough that most people can't get up and can't reach it. It's hard to destroy the surveillance camera."

  Lu Dong told the truth: "You have to pay attention to those who play with slingshots."

  Du Xiaobing asked with interest: "Lu Dong, do you often do it?"

   Lu Dong smiled: "I didn't have much to do when I was a kid, I could only have fun."

  Many children in rural areas play with homemade slingshots. They have been playing with them since they were young. They are very accurate. Birds may be difficult.

   When he was a child, he often harassed the street lamps in the village.

   The most fun is to hit the honeycomb, especially when someone passes by below.

   A Santana drove over and parked next to it. Lv Chun took the two defenses out of the car.

   "Big Brother." Du Xiaobing greeted.

   Lu Chun said a few words to him with a smile, and asked Lu Dong: "Install monitoring?"

   Lu Dong said: "I can't have people watching from this floor shop every day."

   Lu Chun nodded: "It's a way, but it's not cheap."

   Lu Dong grabbed Lao Du's arm and said, "It's okay, I can get a discount with Lao Du here."

  Du Xiaobing joked casually: "I figured it out. You pulled me to do business, just want to use cheap channels."

   "Would you like to make a fortune with you!" Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing were also welcome.

  Du Xiaobing thinks about the turnover of these days, the lowest day did not drop 8000, it is indeed Lu Dong who brought him to make a fortune.

   Lu Dong said to Lu Chun, "Brother, I have something to do."

  Du Xiaobing called the two joint defenses: "Brothers, go to the store and sit down. We are a joint construction unit. It's good to come here. You have to drink some water."

  The joint defense is also spiritual, and immediately followed Du Xiaobing to the store.

With no one around, Lu Dong asked, "Are you going to Beihe this weekend?"

   "It's fixed, Saturday." Lu Chun said simply: "Fang Yan said hello to the family, then I will go to Quannan to pick her up."

   Lu Dong reminded: "Everything is at home, don't forget to bring it."

   The first time you come to the door, it is still the custom of Beihe, so you must bring a heavy gift.

   People say whether they accept it or not, and whether to bring it or not is another matter.

   Lu Dong turned to the topic: "Brother, there is something, there may be a large underground gambling industry chain in our county."

   Hearing this, Lv Chun was not surprised: "Su Dahe heard from his son?"

   Lu Dong explained the situation of Su Xiaoshan and Hu Bin in detail: "Someone set up a scheme to let the relocated households gamble, my old watch will not tell you, you know the situation."

"Do you think you didn't notice the game at all?" Lu Chun said simply: "Someone called the police, but several actions in the game were empty, let alone betting, not even a poker card, report it. In those lands, there is no trace of gambling at all."

   Lu Dong made an umbrella gesture: "Is there this?"

   "Don't guess." Lu Chun reminded: "Don't talk nonsense, if you want to do things, you must first learn to protect yourself."

  Lu Dong nodded and deliberately lowered his voice: "Brother, I heard rumors that someone said that the surname was Yang..."

   Lu Chun said: "Who is he, I know better than you, things are not as simple as you think." He reminded again: "If you have news, tell me directly, don't tell people randomly."

   Lu Dong understood: "I know."

   To be able to come from that rough age and stand still, there must be a network of connections behind people.

   After Lv Chun left, Lv Dong received a call from Director Zhao, informing him to go to the Youth League Committee on Friday to prepare to participate in the review meeting of this year's SEC.
