The Era of Hard Work

Chapter 437: so miserable

   Chapter 437 What a miserable

When Du Xiaobing returned to the university town after finishing the business of opening a store in Linzi, Lv Dong immediately called a meeting of the company's management. With an additional 10 million yuan of liquidity in the account, the three major brand stores under Lu's Catering could also speed up the opening of stores. speed.

   Of course, you can’t rush in if you have money. Except for Quannan, other procedures such as store location selection and business district assessment must be strictly implemented.

   Although there are only a few of the most popular commercial circles in each city today, the flow of people on a commercial street can be vastly different every 100 meters away.

  The most typical Quannan Road Pedestrian Street, these days, the store is opened in the east of the commercial street, and even the expenses cannot be earned.

When Lv Dong went to Weiqiao to go through the loan procedures, he communicated with Wei Yong carefully. In the next period of time, Wei Yong will be responsible for discussing with the University Town Management Committee about the investment of home textile factories in the University Town. He will often come to Qingzhao. It is not difficult for Lu's Catering to borrow a little from the Wei family's personal connections. The key areas for opening stores in the second half of the year are mainly in the four cities of Pingcheng, Linzi, Yingcheng and Dezhou, except for the urban area of ​​Quannan and surrounding counties.

  From Wei Yong's mouth, Lu Dong also learned that the project Weiqiao Group wants to invest in University City is not a home textile factory, but a huge industrial park.

  Perhaps, they also saw the bright future of the university town.

   In addition to the store opening, the meeting focused on recruitment. As the company continues to expand and the total number of stores has exceeded 40, Lu's Catering also needs a lot of manpower.

   It is not difficult to recruit ordinary employees on the headquarters side. After the management committee was reorganized, the vocational skills assessment center of the traffic technical school was put into use again, attracting a steady stream of people.

Lv Dong took the time to go back to the old school, and by the way, he attended the college entrance examination speech promised to the old principal a few years ago. Through the relationship of the old principal, he further established contact with Qingzhao Vocational College, and signed a contract with Qingzhao Vocational College on behalf of Lu's Catering. An employment and internship agreement.

After   , Lu's Catering Club has become a key employment choice for graduates of Qingzhao Vocational College.

In the university town, several vocational and technical colleges, which were merged from technical secondary schools, have also moved. Lv Dong and Du Xiaobing also visited the employment guidance offices of several colleges and universities under the introduction of the university town management committee. Negotiate the cooperation intention.

  After experiencing the first enrollment expansion in 1999, the development speed of university enrollment expansion is astonishingly fast. Not only the original secondary schools have been expanded into universities, but countless private capitals have also been eyeing the big cake of education industrialization.

   It won’t be long before getting into high school is equivalent to entering a university, and it will become a common phenomenon.

  It’s hard to say elsewhere, but here in Quannan, regardless of the brand type of the university, it is much more difficult to get into high school than to get into university.

   Compared with ordinary front-line employees, the recruitment of high-end talents is the difficulty.

   Where there are the most first-class talents, it may be in Taidong, where the proportion of each public unit is the highest.

  Most people are stable, with iron rice bowls holding them, and they won’t come out easily.

  Lv's Catering, Lu Dong wants to set up a planning department, responsible for media, public relations and publicity work, and also plans to set up a product department so that new products can be launched later, and even brand new catering brands can be established.

   The head of these two departments, Lu's Catering has been advertising recruitment through the Evening News Agency, and has yet to meet a suitable one.

   After the meeting, Du Xiaobing followed Lu Dong into his office and asked, "There is an extra 10 million in the book?"

   I just came back yesterday, and I received a notice to have a meeting this morning. I only know that the development reserve is over 10 million yuan, and Lu Dong did not mention the specific source during the meeting.

   Lu Dong said simply: "Didn't I go on a trip with Hei... Song Na? I helped the Wei family a little in the south. The Wei family felt that they could not owe any favors, so they gave the company an interest-free loan."

   Seeing that Lu Dong didn't say anything specific, Du Xiaobing didn't ask any more questions. Of course, it was a good thing to have 10 million more funds.

  The two sat together and had another small meeting.

   As before, Lu Dong was still in charge of the overall situation, and Du Xiaobing was in charge of the business.

   In addition, Lu Dong also told old Du Ming to let him train a few deputies specially, and the company will open a branch later, in case he leaves.

  Du Xiaobing smiled: "What? Are you worried about me?"

   "If I'm worried about you, I'll tell you?" Lu Dong said directly: "When our brothers met, they were poor and penniless, so there's no need to tell lies."

  Du Xiaobing said deliberately: "You are the one who is poor and penniless. In your words, I was rich and handsome at that time."

  Lu Dong thought of Du Xiaobing, who was wearing Nike sportswear on the bus and beat up the pickpocket, and had to admit: "Yes, you have always been a rich second generation, that's what worries me the most."

  Du Xiaobing was puzzled.

Lu Dong explained: "You didn't have any interest in doing business before, so your family asked you to be a teacher in the sports academy, so you can become a professor in the future. But now it's different. You still have a job and don't go to school all day. , the ability to do business has been practiced, and even Du Juan praises you, I am worried that your family will let you go back, you go back to inherit hundreds of millions of properties, and leave me alone to guard the small company, how miserable?"

  Du Xiaobing couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, the miserable life of going back to inherit the family property is not what I want, and there is a cuckoo in my house."

   Lu Dong said according to the normal here: "Sister Du always wants to get married."

  Du Xiaobing said: "My uncle said, recruit a son-in-law."

  Lu Dong nodded, this kind of thing is not uncommon for wealthy people.

In the rest of the morning, I dealt with some work and interviewed a person who came to apply for product development. Lu Dong went to Building No. 3 to find Song Na for lunch. The School of Physical Education was on vacation, so the two went to the central intersection to find a place to have lunch. With the rapid development of the university town, of the dozen or so buildings in Innovation Harbor, only the last few are under construction, and the rest are fully operational.

  Innovation Harbor's building, only a few external buildings have designed shops.

  May be thinking of the Peace Hotel in Magic City, Song Na specially took Lu Dong to the Peace Hotel to eat steamed buns filled with carrots and vermicelli.

   "Oh, Mr. Lu, Mr. Song, rare guest."

The proprietors of the Peace Hotel were among the first to set up shop here to do business, and they were also old acquaintances with Lu Dong. When they saw Lu Dong and Song Na coming over, they quickly greeted them and instructed the waiter, "Hurry up and tidy up the private room. "

  Lv Dong is the same as before: "Brother Zhou, let's come over to eat steamed buns, we don't need a private room."

  Boss Zhou quickly opened the curtain. This is the door to the north and south shops: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Song, sit here, be quiet here."

   Lu Dong and Song Na followed, the air conditioner was fully on and a brand new wooden table was placed.

   "Brother Zhou, your business is getting bigger and bigger." Lu Dong remembered that the shop here was not the Peace Hotel before.

   Boss Zhou said: "The people who opened the store here are closed, so I took the opportunity to put them down." He asked, "What do you want?"

  Song Na looked at the menu on the wall and ordered a few steamed buns and two side dishes. Boss Zhou personally delivered it after a few meetings.

   After eating, Song Na said, "Tomorrow I'm going to Pingcheng, then I'll go to Linzi, and I'll have a look at the address of the new store over there."

   Lu Dong asked: "I accompany you there?"

   "Just be busy." Song Na said simply: "Li Qing and Huang Juan accompany me over there."

   She added: "Wei Yong's partner will receive us."

   Lu Dong has seen Wei Yong's object once, and he is much more reliable than Wei Yong.

  Song Na reminded: "Don't forget to go to the first sports meeting in the afternoon."

   "Remember." Lu Dong glanced at his watch: "I made an appointment with Uncle Li to go to the house and have him redecorate it. Even if it is a temporary nest, it has to look like a home."

  Song Na understood why Lu Dong wanted to redecorate the house, and responded lightly, "Oh."

   After dinner, Song Na went to pay, but Boss Zhou refused and accepted it after a few words.

  The two separated when they went out. Song Na went back to the innovation port, and Lu Dong went to the south. When they came to the door of Erjiao's store, they found that workers were moving in and out, and Jiao Sanhei was standing at the door.

   "Brother Dong." Although he was older than Lu Dong, Jiao Sanhei shouted willingly.

  Lu Dong glanced at it and asked, "Is this going to move?"

   Jiao Sanhei rubbed his head and smiled: "The video hall is closed. I will renovate it while the students are on vacation. My brother is going to sell CDs, mobile phones, MP3s and game consoles."

  When Erjiao’s new store opened in the western enterprise district last year, Lv Dong heard Jiao Shougui talk about it, and Jiao Shougui was thinking about transformation at that time.

   Lu Dong asked, "Where's your brother?"

  Jiao Sanhei said: "I just went to Pengcheng yesterday, and said that I was going to the electronic market to see it, and I was going to open up a purchase channel."

   Lu Dong said more: "Work hard, this business has a bright future."

  Compared to the average person, Jiao Shougui is more daring, and he is not easy to be rich.

  Most people open a store to make money, and they all want to live a stable life. Those who can keep it are good, and some people can't even keep it.

   There is always a loss and a profit in doing business, even if it is placed in a good location such as the central intersection, just like the northern neighbor of the Peace Hotel, it closed down due to poor management.

   Came to Wenyuan's house, Lu Dong waited for a while, then Uncle Li brought Li Lin over.

  Li Jiazhu asked: "Do you plan to live here often?"

   Lu Dong said: "When the company has a lot of work, it is inconvenient to run back and forth, so I live here at night."

  Li Jiazhu didn't ask much, and said, "Okay, what are your requirements? You tell me first."

Lu Dong said: "Second uncle, after you opened your company, didn't you hire a few interior decoration designers? Get me a European-style minimalist style, use better environmentally friendly materials, and clean up inside and out. a bit."

   For a long time in the future, this will be his and Song Na's temporary nest, so naturally it needs to be renovated.

   In Lu Dong's thoughts, Song Na cannot be wronged.

  Li Jiazhu responded with one bite: "No problem, it's all wrapped up with me. I still have the data here. I'll ask someone to come and take a look first and get some renderings."

   Lu Dong said again: "I'll let people take the furniture away in the afternoon."

  The house was redecorated, and the furniture had to be replaced with new ones. They had to find someone to transport it back to the old street house. Before he left, Lu Dong gave Li Ershu a key, so that people in his company could enter and leave easily.
