The Era of Hard Work

Chapter 522: Laughing away enmity

   Chapter 522 Smile

   After the successful bid for the Olympics, many merchants who took the Olympic shuttle bus naturally became a sweet treat, becoming the winner of this national event and getting rich rewards.

  Among them, Burger King took the east wind of bidding for the Olympic Games and became famous all over the country with the advertisement of "Victory China".

As far as Western-style fast food in the domestic market is concerned, although it is not comparable to KFC and McDonald's, Burger King has caught up with Dicos, which entered the Chinese market in the mid-1990s in terms of monthly turnover, and is the third largest in the Western-style fast food industry. take the top spot.

   Many people realize that a chain catering company with huge potential has entered the national market from Taidong.

   There are those who seek cooperation, those who compete fiercely, those who sit on the sidelines, and those who want to take advantage of the opportunity to seek benefits.

The establishment ceremony of   Sanlian Real Estate was held on July 15th in the Great Innovation Port of University City Province. On this day, many famous people from the business circles in Quannan came, and even Fan Yunming, the general manager of Guangmei Electric Taidong District, personally came to congratulate.

   The two companies are fighting to the death in the market, and they are still in harmony on the surface.

   Bai Sheng of Suntech Investment Company, as one of the investors and shareholders, will not be absent.

   Besides, we knew early on that Sanlian Real Estate had invited many local companies in the university town, one of which was called Lu's Catering Company.

  Bai Sheng has been paying attention to this company recently. As far as private enterprises in the catering industry in the province are concerned, the development speed is definitely the fastest, and the scale has jumped to the front line. It is said that the turnover is also terrifyingly high.

   No wonder people like He Quanzhong would focus on Lu's Catering, this kind of company is clearly the legendary cash cow.

  Shuntai Investment cannot afford a company of this size, but with the support of a large investor, you can try it.

   Give it a try, and the car might change from a Mercedes-Benz to a Rolls-Royce.

  After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the guests invited by Sanlian Real Estate temporarily gathered in the lobby on the first floor of the office building, and there was a formal luncheon at noon.

Entering the lobby on the first floor, Bai Sheng quickly found a tall and sturdy young man. The other party was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a slightly honest face. He was chatting with Fan Yunming from Guangmei Electric. He should have heard of Lu from others. winter.

   That boss of Lu's Catering Company!

   Rushing to the past is not very good. Bai Sheng thought about it for a while, and saw Chu Yuxiang, who was in charge of the external affairs of Sanlian, and went over.

   "Manager Chu." Bai Sheng knew Sanlian's executives because he invested in Sanlian real estate: "I want to ask you something."

  Chu Yuxiang smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, please speak."

  Bai Sheng adjusted his direction slightly, pointed to the side where the tall young man was, and asked, "Manager Chu, is that Lu Dong from Lu's Catering?"

   "It's him." Chu Yuxiang asked, "Boss Bai also knows him?"

  Bai Sheng took back his hand and said, "Lu's restaurant is in the limelight, and it seems that it is the number one chain restaurant company in Taidong. Who else in the Quannan business district does not know that there is a number one person like Lu Dong?"

  Chu Yuxiang glanced over there: "In terms of young entrepreneurs, is Lu Dong really the No. 1 in Quannan?"

   Bai Sheng asked: "Sanlian invited him, are you familiar with him?"

  Chu Yuxiang replied, "I know."

   "Can you introduce me?" Bai Sheng asked again.

   "Of course you can." Chu Yuxiang walked over there and specifically asked, "Why did Mr. Bai suddenly want to meet Lu Dong?"

   Bai Sheng said half-truth: "I do investment."

  Chu Yuxiang knew that, seeing that Fan Yunming of Guangmei Electric had gone to another place, she quickly took Bai Sheng over there.

   "Mr. Lu, hello." Chu Yuxiang took the initiative to say hello, shook hands with Lv Dong lightly, and said directly: "Introduce a friend to you, this is Mr. Bai Shengbai of Quannan Shuntai Investment."

  Lü Dong took a brief look. The person who came was not tall, about forty years old, with a slightly bald forehead and a pair of glasses.

  Bai Sheng took the initiative to shake hands with Lu Dong: "Mr. Lu, your name is like thunder, and I am lucky to meet you today."

   Hearing these words, Lu Dong subconsciously changed into Mandarin: "Hello Mr. Bai, nice to meet you."

   He had never seen this person before, nor had he heard anyone mention it. Suntech Investment was also a very unfamiliar name.

  Chu Yuxiang just made a recommendation and automatically moved aside and left.

   Bai Sheng saw that there was no one around, and said, "I heard that the headquarters of Lu's head office is also here?"

   Lu Dong pointed to the east: "Upstairs on the third floor, it is incomparable with Sanlian, just an ordinary office."

  Bai Sheng said: "I recently paid attention to Mr. Lv's catering company. The development speed is amazing. It won't take long to get the top spot in the province."

  People say good things, and Lu Dong is also very polite: "Cheng Bai is auspicious."

  Bai Sheng gradually guided the topic in the direction he wanted: "I heard that Mr. Zhang invited Mr. Lv to invest in Sanlian Real Estate? Mr. Lv refused?"

The details of    are not clear. Zhang Tao has never said it carefully to the outside world, but Zhang Tao mentioned that Lu Dong of Lu's Catering refused.

   In Bai Sheng's opinion, Lu Dong let such a good opportunity lie in front of him in vain. He must have limited funds, so he specifically mentioned this matter.

Lv Dong will not take the initiative to talk about how to deal with Sanlian Zhang Tao, let alone his concerns about Sanlian Real Estate, so he can only deal with it: "Lu's Catering has just started for more than two years, and the funds in hand should focus on the catering industry, and other industries will be temporarily Don't think about it."

   Bai Sheng's words further moved closer to investment: "Indeed, funding problems have plagued the development of many companies."

   Lu Dong smiled, remembering the introduction of Chu Yuxiang, the CEO of Shuntai Investment, and said, "The main reason is that I don't have the energy to take care of other things."

   In addition to Lu's Catering and Lujia Village, if nothing else, at least he owns 10% of the shares in each of the two companies.

  Bai Sheng directly ignored Lu Dong's words and said, "Mr. Lu, to tell you the truth, I am an investor, and I am very optimistic about the future of Lu's Catering Company..."

   As soon as these words came out, how could Lu Dong not understand, this was an investor who saw Lu's Catering Company.

Although Lu Dong did not consider accepting foreign investment for the time being, he would not have a standoff with the investor who held the funds because of this. After waiting for the other party to stop talking, he said politely: "Thanks to Mr. Bai's love, if the company needs it, I will Will definitely consider it.”

It's nice to say, but it's actually a refusal, Bai Sheng can hear it, but it's the first time we meet, it's impossible to say anything more, he immediately took out his business card and handed it to Lu Dong with both hands: "Mr. Lu, you can call me anytime if you need it. ."

   Lu Dong put away the business card solemnly, and then changed his own: "Thank you, Mr. Bai."

  Bai Sheng couldn't help but say: "Mr. Lu is too polite. I hope that Mr. Lv can give Shuntai a chance to invest in the future."

   Lu Dong said a few words to him again.

  People have a good attitude and greet him with a smile. And in public, Lu Dong naturally talks and laughs.

   Of course, investment opportunities and the like are another matter.

  After Bai Sheng went to another place, Lu Dong originally wanted to say goodbye. Fan Yunming had left before. It would be disgusting for him, a partner of Guangmei Electric, to stay here.

  Unexpectedly, when I met Zhang Tao again, and the other party warmly invited him, he could only go to the reception luncheon of Sanlian Real Estate at noon.

  In the grand banquet hall of the Crown Hotel, Lv Dong once again met Deputy Director Duan of the Management Committee and Director Zhao, who represented Yang Liewen.

   Deputy Director Duan was quite polite: "Mr. Lu, I just came here last time, and I don't know the situation very well. I want to make some achievements, so I'm anxious."

The other party is the deputy director of the management committee, who is at the top of the ranking. For this reason, in fact, he has already expressed an apology. Lu Dong knows how to accept it when he sees it, and said with a smile: "Director Duan, it's all for work. For the sake of the development of the university town."

"Yes! Yes!" Deputy Director Duan saw the general knowledge of Lu Dong, and the unpleasant feeling in his heart disappeared. After all, there was no way to really take Lu Dong: "Mr. Lu's company has already become famous all over the country, strike while the iron is hot, early Yidian has become the leader of catering enterprises in the province.”

   Lu Dong said it nicely: "It's all the result of the leadership's strong support."

   A lot of things, especially for the public side, can't do anything like a dead fish and a net, and if you can reconcile, you must reconcile.

  Lv Dong chatted with Deputy Director Duan about the bright future of the university town for a while.

   Before the banquet started, Lu Dong and Secretary Zhao found a place where no one was in the corridor and had a chat.

   "Will Sanlian Real Estate get the land from the university town?" Lu Dong asked Director Zhao directly.

"They have this idea, but it may not be possible in the short term." Officer Zhao said in a low voice: "The funds of Sanlian Real Estate are basically concentrated on the project of Quishi Villa, and it is estimated that it will start in the second half of the year. You reminded me last time, I have paid special attention to the fact that with the funds of Sanlian Real Estate, only one project of Quarry Mountain Villa can be operated in the short term.”

   Lu Dong said: "I don't mean anything else. The Sanlian side called Guangmei very hard. The home appliance business is shrinking day by day. I'm worried that there will be problems with their real estate projects, which will affect our leaders."

   Officer Zhao knew that Lu Dong was working with Guangmei, and wanted to know more about Sanlian. He said, "It's okay, Sanlian was introduced by Deputy Director Duan. Even if something really happened, he was the one responsible."

   He added: "Of course, no one wants an accident in Sanlian."

   Lu Dong saw someone coming to invite them, and said, "Let's go, go in for dinner."

   Lunch was very rich. Sanlian Real Estate made a lot of money and made a lot of money.

From Lv Dong's point of view, Zhang Tao decided to build the first high-end real estate project in Quannan even before the establishment of Sanlian Real Estate. Even if this kind of house is built, ordinary people can't afford it, and there are quite a few real customers. , no doubt sitting in today's banquet hall.

  This celebration, this banquet, obviously carries a sense of propaganda.

   At the banquet, many people came to Lu Dong for a drink, and Lu Dong inevitably went to pay respects to some people.

At the end of the banquet, Bai Sheng came over and had two drinks with Lu Dong.

   Taking advantage of the wine, Bai Sheng said, "Mr. Lu, if I have the opportunity, I will go to your company to see what it will be like to become the No. 1 catering company in the province."

   There were people all around, and Lu Dong was not good at discrediting people in public. He said, "Mr. Bai, come here, full of brilliance, welcome at any time."
