Chapter 417 The eldest son

  Around 7:30 in the morning, it is the time when the factories of Weiqiao Cotton Spinning Group get off work. A large number of male and female workers leave the factory on shifts, cross the east-west county road, and walk towards the north-south commercial street facing the cotton spinning factory.

   This is one of the most crowded times in the commercial street, even after noon.

  Whether male or female workers work continuously for more than 12 hours, they are already hungry and can't wait to buy some breakfast to satisfy their hunger.

   If you are particular, you will go back to the dormitory to take a bath first. The factory here has good benefits, high salary, good accommodation conditions, and it is very convenient to take a bath.

   These people make up the majority. After all, there are mainly young female workers here, and it is still a hot summer.

   For a small number of things that are not very particular, we will talk about it after having breakfast first.

On the east and west sides of the commercial street, there are huge communities composed of multi-storey residential buildings, some of which are used for permanent residents, and some are used as dormitories for various factories.

  Two communities, each with an entrance and exit located in the southern part of the commercial street.

   Those who got off work walked south along the road and found a large shop not far from the entrance of the community. The rainbow gate was erected, and the gong and drum team gathered.

The two stores are not small in size. The one in the south is called Lu's Mala Tang, and the one in the north is called Burger King. The brand-new signboards, bright large glass doors and glass curtain walls. From the perspective of the outside decoration, they are the most high-end places in the commercial street. .

Workers and nearby residents are not unfamiliar with these two stores. It is estimated that it has been a month from the beginning of the renovation to the opening today. During this period, there have been many activities such as tasting food, giving away and applying for discount cards. The noise is not small. .

   At exactly eight o'clock, the firecracker salute went off, followed by gongs and drums.

   The employees of the two stores wearing dark red uniforms came to the street to issue discount cards, and many people entered the store curiously.

Most people have visited the shops on the commercial street. Burger King and Lu’s Mala Tang are definitely the most upscale decorations, but it is not difficult for people who go in to find that the food and beverages sold in them are not expensive, and they are completely within their range. within.

   Especially the Lu's Mala Tang, which is delicious and affordable.

  Burger King focuses on Western-style fast food, and the meals are exquisite. No matter the appearance, grade, or taste, it is no worse than KFC.

  The price is slightly lower than KFC.

   It doesn't matter, the main reason is that I want to invite friends to eat hamburgers in the future, so I don't need to take the car to go to the Pingcheng area.

  There is nothing else for the opening, some are the opening ceremony, the opening discount, the official opening only takes ten minutes, and the stores on both sides are full.

The more people   , the more attractive they tend to be, and people continue to walk to the store one after another.

Just across from the two stores, a brand-new warm store sign hangs in front of a large store. Young female workers go in and out. Most of the people who go in come out with more or less small accessories for girls. or small objects.

   "Your business is good." At the cashier, a girl asked the person who received the money: "Xia Tian, ​​you have been working here for a month, and you make more money than the factory?"

  Xia Tian looked for change, wrapped up a brown-red stone bracelet, and handed it to a former colleague: "I don't earn much, I just want to relax, and I don't have to work night shifts."

   The former colleague looked at the mirror at the door, and the dark circles under his eyes caused by staying up late at work, he was about to keep up with the giant panda.

  Look at Xia Tian again, with a radiant complexion and tender skin.

   The former colleague lowered his voice: "Our sisters, they have been together for several years, and they still haven't told me the truth."

Xia Tiantian smiled and lowered her voice: "The basic salary is lower than that in our factory. I am an intern store manager, and the basic salary is 600 yuan. It mainly depends on the sales in the store, and the sales commission in the restaurant, the better the sales in the store. , I mention the higher the achievement.”

"Your business is so good, the commission must be indispensable!" The former colleague turned his head to take a look. In the shop with more than 50 square meters, there were at least a dozen people picking things: "Have you ever paid wages? Is it more than the factory? "

   Xia Tian couldn't help but deal with it: "A little more than in the factory."

   The former colleague immediately asked: "You guys are still recruiting people, I don't want to work the night shift! I don't want to work the 12-hour night shift!"

   That's what I said, but my former colleagues also knew that if I missed the recruitment period of this store, it was impossible to come to be the store manager. When a colleague came over, I quickly said goodbye and left, and went to the newly opened store opposite to buy something to eat.

  Looking from Xia Tian's position, just looking through the glass door, he saw Burger King and Lu's Mala Tang on the opposite side.

   There are so many people in those two shops.

  In the morning, I also saw Lu Dong and a man in a suit named Du Xiaobing. I don't know where they went, maybe they went to the center of the county. After all, there is a hot pot restaurant open there.

   However, my cousin has been busy recently, so I didn't come here today.

  What are these two people doing? They have made such a big career at such a young age.

   Not far from here, there is a commercial street with shopping malls and shopping malls.

   Here, the economy is more developed than Qingzhao, people's income is higher, and business is naturally more prosperous.

  The original department store, like almost all department stores in the country, has long since gone bankrupt and has become a private shopping mall. On the first floor of the shopping mall, the brand new red and white signboard Lu's Hot Pot Restaurant officially opened today.

   The store here is more than 250 square meters and is the largest hot pot restaurant in Pingcheng.

The    store is not located in the urban area, but is located in a county town, because the entire Pingcheng city is counted as the urban area, and the county town here has the highest income and the most developed economy.

   Today, when public enterprises are going bankrupt and restructured, the main driving force of Pingcheng's economy seems to rely on this side in a short period of time.

   At the door of the store, Lu Dong glanced at his watch and asked, "Lao Du, you said that Mu Kun found a mysterious guest for us to cut the ribbon. Who is he?"

  Du Xiaobing wore a shirt, trousers and leather shoes, loosened his neckline slightly, and said, "You will know when the person arrives."

   Lu Dong nodded at him: "Keep it a secret from me!"

  Du Xiaobing said: "The main thing is that Mu Kun can't guarantee that people will come. If people don't come, it will be a shame? It's better not to talk about it."

   Lu Dong understood: "So, you asked me to prepare two ribbon-cutting plans."

  Du Xiaobing laughed: "It really doesn't work, just the two of us."

   As he was talking, a BMW car drove up outside. There was no parking area in front of the store, so it stopped on the side of the road.

  The visitor is a guest. Even if Mu Kun comes by himself, people will come to celebrate the opening. Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing hurried over.

   Lu Dong had seen Mu Kun several times, got off the co-pilot, and then got off the driver's seat, a guy who wasn't very tall.

   This man looks twenty-seven or eight-year-old, with a Chinese-style face, small eyes, a big nose, a flat head, and a white lining and black mesh shoes.

   Lu Dong took the lead to meet him and shook hands with Mu Kun: "Mr. Mu, welcome! Welcome!"

  Mu Kun shook hands with Lu Dong, moved to one side, and introduced another person: "Mr. Lu, Xiaobing, this is my friend, Wei Yong, the vice president of Weiqiao Cotton Textile Group."

   Then he introduced Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing.

   Lu Dong knew that this was the eldest son in the local population, and shook hands with people enthusiastically: "Wei can always come, and the brilliance will shine!"

  Du Xiaobing also politely said: "Welcome to President Wei!"

   Maybe I heard what Mu Kun said, Wei Yong was also very polite: "Mr. Lu and President Du are young and promising, I sigh!"

   Lu Dong invited people into the store: "President Wei, President Mu, this way."

   Entering the store, as the owner, it is inevitable to take guests around for a tour. The stores are all located on the first floor, and the decoration is considered to be of high grade, which cannot be compared with high-end hotels.

   Back on the first floor, Wei Yong said, "Put in the whole Pingcheng, this shop of Mr. Lu is also the largest shop specializing in hot pot."

   Lu Dong said: "The store focuses on public food. The place is bigger and can accommodate more people."

   Wei Yong said in a timely manner: "Mr. Lu's business is booming."

  Although in the eyes of many people, this eldest son is not yet in the limelight, but after several years of tempering in the business world, he still understands the basics of seeing people and talking about people and talking about ghosts.

  As the eldest son of the whole Weiqiao, Wei Yong can be said to have eyes above his head, and he will not be so kind to everyone.

   But before he came over, Wei Yong heard from Mu Kun that the two of them were different.

  One is a rich second-generation from Quannan, and his family has connections in both political and business terms. The other is said to have an extraordinary relationship with a major leader in Quannan, as well as a major cadre in the military region.

  Quannan is the provincial capital. It must be unusual for someone like Mu Kun to say so.

   The four chatted for a while, and Lu Dong knew very well that Mu Kun was helping out for Du Xiaobing's sake.

   Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that Mu Kun wants to get closer to him.

   Networks are built little by little.

   Not to mention anything else, Mu Kun invited Wei Yong to come over, and Lu Dong is very grateful to him.

   Similarly, Lu Dong also shared Weiyong's love.

   Anyone with some social experience knows that there are classes in this society. In Du Xiaobing's words, when people go to high places, they will also come into contact with people of higher classes.

After   , Wei Yong accepted Lu Dong's invitation to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

   Firecrackers and salutes were fired in unison, and there were many people watching. Wei Yong, Mu Kun, Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing took golden scissors and cut the ribbon together!

   Onlookers saw that the eldest son of Weiqiao cut the ribbon for this store, and naturally thought that this store was unusual.

   Lv Dong actually knew very well that the people of Weiqiaowei's family had mixed reputations among the general public in Pingcheng.

  All the companies of Weiqiao Cotton Textile Group adopt standard family-run operations, and almost all the people sitting in key positions are immediate family members of the Wei family.

  According to what was said on the Internet, even some very capable people who have made great contributions to the development of the company will inevitably be replaced by relatives of the Wei family.

   As for the inside and outside of the company, there are also many disputes. It is said that when Weiqiao Cotton Textile acquired the largest state-owned cotton spinning factory in Pingcheng two years ago, the employees of the first cotton spinning factory were extremely resistant.

   In the eyes of state-owned enterprise employees, Weiqiao Cotton Factory is an inconspicuous small township enterprise, and they are well-established employees of state-owned enterprises.

   These people even shouted at the Wei family: "Fuck off, hillbilly!"

  Weiqiao Cotton Spinning is a winner in the corporate restructuring. For example, this year, it has changed from a company under the Pingcheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative to a completely private company.

   But no matter how much slander and controversy, the influence of the Wei family in Pingcheng cannot be ignored.

   Doing business and stepping out of Quannan, the base camp, Lu Dong, like Guangmei Electric, naturally wants to have a good relationship with the local snake.
