The fourth day of the fifth month.

Qinghe Village Longshan Team.

After eating the fragrant soft and glutinous rice dumplings, Liu Yuansheng and Liu Xiahui father and son drank tea and chatted with Liu Yuanxiong, Liu Yuanhua and several other neighbors.

"Yuanxiong, how is your new hydropower project?" Liu Yuansheng asked after taking a sip of tea.

Liu Yuanxiong said with a smile: "It's almost done, it should be able to generate electricity by the end of this year!"

Liu Yuansheng said: "I only invested at the beginning of this year, and I will have a harvest at the end of the year, which is really good!"

Liu Yuanhua said with envy: "Yuanxiong, it's better to have your hydropower project, as long as the water continues, your money will not be broken, except for a larger investment, there are no other shortcomings!"

Liu Yuanxiong smiled modestly: "I'm just making a little money, Xiaohui's business is called a real big business!"

Liu Xia Hui said with a smile: "Uncle Yuanxiong doesn't have to be modest, my catering business is risky, and I have to face many powerful opponents, and if I am not careful, I will capsize."

And Uncle Yuanxiong, your hydropower station is just needed, our country has been in a state of power shortage since its establishment, and there should be a shortage of electricity for a long time in the future, there is no opponent at all, you earn this money that is safe and stable without a trace of risk, this is a business that many people can't envy!"

Liu Xiahui's words are said to Liu Yuanxiong's heart, he is most proud of the hydropower station project is small risk, although the profit is not very high, but it can be a long stream, as long as the hydropower station is built, there is basically no cost in the follow-up, please ask three or two people to be responsible for guarding the power station, and let people not destroy or steal!

"Competitors really don't exist, but this industry can only mix some food, and there is no way to become bigger and stronger!" Liu Yuanxiong said with some regret.

Liu Yuansheng refilled the tea for everyone and said: "If you want to build a hydropower station like the Three Gorges, it is really impossible, but those small hydropower station projects, as long as there is money to invest, they should be able to be built, right?"

Liu Yuanxiong said: "You still have to go through the government, and you have to be approved by the government before you can build, but this is not a problem, as long as you meet the construction requirements, the government will generally not get you stuck." The most important thing is that hydropower stations have high requirements for geographical advantages, and they cannot be built in any place, which is why I said that I can't become bigger and stronger!"

Liu Xiahui nodded and said: "This is also, the place is favorable, the country may have built a hydropower station a long time ago, even if it is not built, it is already being planned, and if a private person wants to enter this field, he can indeed only make a small fuss, and he has no chance to make you bigger and stronger!"

Liu Yuanhua said: "Yuanxiong, don't ask too high, it's enough to earn 100 million!"

Liu Yuanxiong said with a smile: "If I can make tens of millions of dollars, I will definitely be satisfied!"

Liu Xia Hui said affirmatively: "Uncle Yuanxiong, I don't dare to say much, but I believe it will not be difficult for you to earn tens of millions!"

After all, Liu Yuanxiong, who was self-made in his previous life, could earn a net worth of tens of millions, and in this life, whether it is funds or connections, he is ten times stronger than in his previous life, and it is naturally not difficult to earn tens of millions of dollars.

Liu Yuanxiong was modest, and then he led the topic to Liu Xiahui and asked: "Xiaohui, I watched the news not long ago, saying that your Lao Liu fast food has defeated the gnawing Deji and selling as a laborer, and it is really winning glory for the country, and it is very happy!"

Liu Xia Hui said with a smile: "It's just that the market share in our country is overwhelmed by others, and people gnaw Deji and sell as a Lao Na international fast food giant, and there are chain stores in more than 100 countries around the world, and my Lao Liu fast food is far from others!"

Liu Yuanxiong said: "Our country has more than a billion people, it is the largest market in the world, and being able to defeat the opponent strongly in this market proves that your Lao Liu fast food has great potential, and it is only a matter of time before you surpass the other party!"

Liu Xiahui shook his head and said: "Uncle Yuanxiong, things are not so simple, in my country's fast food market, my Lao Liu fast food is a local battle, and it has a unique advantage. But once you go abroad and go to other countries to compete with others, then this advantage will be completely reversed. It's so difficult to win in a local battle, and it's really hard to go to a country and region where others have an advantage, and it's really hard to win!"

Liu Yuanhua's eyes widened and asked, "Xiaohui, listen to the meaning of your words, your Lao Liu fast food is going to go abroad and open a chain store abroad?"

Liu Xiahui nodded and smiled: "There is indeed this idea, the domestic market will continue to dig deeper, and the larger foreign market is also time to go out and try!"

As soon as these words came out, they naturally attracted everyone's amazement, for rural people, being able to do business abroad really shocked them more than how much money they made.

Liu Yuanxiong said: "We don't know about opening stores abroad, but I went to Xiaohui to open Lao Liu fast food before, and found that there are steamed buns and dumplings in the fast food restaurant, and I feel that you can add our water buns (籺) here!

Liu Xia Hui said: "I actually had such an idea of adding our sinkboard bag here, but there were more dishes to be promoted at that time, and the production of the sinkhole bag was also more troublesome, so I didn't add it."

Now that everything has settled down in the fast food restaurant, it's time to launch something new!"

Liu Yuanxiong said: "In fact, in addition to the water bag, we have zongzi, gray water dumplings, sweet dumplings, heart-turning dumplings, cover dumplings, hair dumplings, and chicken nest dumplings all have their own characteristics!"

Yanagi said: "Those are okay to promote as pastries, but it's not appropriate to promote them as fast food!"

"That's just as well!"

Liu Yuanxiong smiled, and no longer mentioned this matter, but talked about another major event in the village, "Brother Sheng, Xiaohui, there are people in the village discussing the rebuilding of the Old Ancestral Hall, I don't know what your father and son think?"

Liu Yuansheng nodded and said: "The old ancestral hall is indeed a little dilapidated, if you want to rebuild it, you can rebuild it, anyway, it won't cost much!"

Liu Xia Hui said: "Since it is going to be rebuilt, then it will be repaired to a big one, and the old ancestral hall will be repaired a little more magnificently." Now the pattern of the old ancestral hall is too small, every year during the Spring Festival worship, there is no place to turn around, plus the choking smell of incense and firecrackers, it is simply unbearable!"

Liu Yuanhua said: "This should be no problem, now with the support of Xiaohui, everyone's living standards have improved, and the population money for rebuilding the old ancestral hall is not a big amount for many brothers and nephews!"

Liu Yuanxiong answered: "Collect a hundred yuan of population money, and then set up a monument of merit for donations, and you can solve the remaining funding gap!"

The matter of money, Liu Xiahui only listened to it and didn't say it, this kind of thing involving the ancestors, he was not willing to take care of it, rural people are more superstitious, rebuilding the ancestral hall, that is, no matter how difficult the family will give money, this is a kind of 'blessing' for them, if you help people with this money, people will not necessarily be grateful to you.

After talking about rebuilding the ancestral hall, the next few people chatted about the shortcomings of the family, whose son married a daughter-in-law, whose daughter married a good family and so on.

And when it came to this, Liu Yuansheng had a headache and sighed: "Yuanxiong, it's still your eldest daughter who is worry-free, she has just turned 21 years old this year, and she has already set a wedding date, unlike my Xiaoxue, who is 29 years old if she is a virtual age, and she doesn't even have a boyfriend, it's really sad!"

Liu Yuanxiong said with a smile: "Brother Sheng, I think you are worrying about the sky, with the conditions of your Xiaoxue, the people chasing her are only afraid that they can line up from here to the provincial capital, where can you worry!"

Liu Yuansheng said helplessly: "I'm afraid that she will be picky, and miss the best marriage age in vain, and after the age of 30, there will be fewer and fewer people to choose from, and even to the point of being picked, and it will be too late to regret it!"

"Ordinary women are like this, but your Xiaoxue's conditions are too good, not to mention that she is over 30 years old, even if she is over 40 years old, she is the only one who picks others, where is it the turn of others to pick her!"

"It's hard to talk about fate, maybe Xiaoxue will meet her true destiny tomorrow!"

"Well, I hope so!"

“......”

Regarding his sister's marriage, Liu Xiahui is quite conflicted, on the one hand, he doesn't want his sister to marry so early, and on the other hand, he hopes that his sister can find the man she likes as soon as possible.

I don't want my sister to get married so early, so naturally I want my sister to love him for a few more years, after all, my sister's love for my brother in this world is basically second only to my parents.

Although my sister will definitely love him as much as she does now even if she gets married, it will be different after having a family.

And it goes without saying that my sister can find the man she likes as soon as possible, just like a father who is reluctant to marry his daughter, and hopes that she can find the man she likes as soon as possible.

In the blink of an eye, he has been reborn for almost ten years, and his sister is already twenty-eight or nineteen, it's time to find a good husband for her!

......

The fourth day of the fifth month of May is the Dragon Boat Festival of the Liu family in Qinghe Village, and the fifth day of the fifth month of May is the orthodox Dragon Boat Festival.

When I was a child, Liu Xiahui's sister and brother often did this kind of thing, first celebrating the festival at their own house on the fourth day of junior high school, and then going to my grandmother's house for the festival on the fifth day of junior high school, and celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival twice a year, which is also very interesting.

In the evening, Liu Yuansheng drank tea and chatted with Liu Yuanxiong and others downstairs.

For people who like to drink tea, it is a great pleasure to chat while drinking tea, like Liu Yuansheng likes to drink tea very much, from getting up to drinking until going to bed at night, no problem.

And Jiang Shiyun, it is rare to come back once, and it is normal to chat with the neighbors while playing the tractor (upgrade).

As for Tang Xiaomin and Liu Xiaxue, they exchanged their experiences of playing Apple 4 upstairs.

Especially the fruit-cutting game, Tang Xiaomin was fascinated by Tang Xiaomin all night in his previous life, although this life is not so exaggerated, but he also loves to play.

Liu Xia Hui is naturally not interested in this kind of game that has been rotten in later generations, and he is used to those large-screen mobile phones in later generations, the screen of this Apple 4 is still too small after all, and it is not fun to play.

Therefore, his task is to coax Liu Xiaoxian to sleep.

After Liu Xiaoxian fell asleep, Liu Xiahui came to the living room and said to his wife and sister who were sitting on the sofa and having fun: "Is it so fun to play such a simple game?

Tang Xiaomin said without raising his head while cutting the fruit nervously: "I feel very funny, you see how many points I scored, my sister can't compare to me!"

The fruit on Liu Xiaxue's side is falling faster and faster, and she is staring at the mobile phone screen intently, her slender middle finger constantly swiping the screen, and she doesn't have the heart to answer Tang Xiaomin's words.

Seeing this, Liu Xiahui knew that they were on the rise now, so he no longer bothered them, but took out his mobile phone and sat opposite them and swiped Tencent News.

Now watching mobile news, to be honest, the sense of experience is far less than that of later generations, the era of big data in later generations is really good, it will recommend news content according to your preferences, so that you don't feel bored watching for hours in a row.

Now, if you want to watch the news you like to watch, you have to rummage through it slowly.

Flipping through the pages, suddenly Liu Xiahui turned to a news about antivirus software, which was the news that the number of 360 antivirus users officially surpassed the former antivirus overlord Rising to become the new overlord in January this year.

Seeing this news, Yanagishita Hui suddenly thought of the famous 3Q battle.

It was an unprecedented Internet battle between Tencent and 360 for their respective interests.

Thinking of the 3Q war, Liu Xia Hui felt that his catering empire should not be careless, and should form the whole industry chain as soon as possible, establish his own moat, and create a barrier that no one can break.

After all, the world is changing too fast, before the 3Q war broke out, who would have thought that QQ and 360, two industries that are not related, would one day completely tear their faces and hit the whole world?

Not only the 3Q war, but also Tencent and Alibaba, two Internet hegemons with completely different positions, who would have thought that one day they would fight in the field of payment?

Although Yanagi Hui's current catering empire does not seem to have any conflict with these Internet giants, who can guarantee that one day everyone will fight to the death in a certain field?

So, building your own moat is an urgent matter.

At present, the whole industry chain of the catering industry is nothing more than a process from the place of production (ingredients/fresh food) to distribution (logistics/cold chain) to sales channels (dine-in/take-out) and then to payment (cash/cashless).

The origin of ingredients/fresh food, this Liu's group was the first to be established.

The logistics/cold chain has been thoroughly improved as early as two years ago, after all, there are so many chain stores, and if this transportation problem is not solved, Laoliu Catering will not be able to develop to this point today.

Dine-in/take-out, dine-in needless to say, there are not too many chain stores of Liu's Group, and takeaway also established a separate company last year, and it is currently developing rapidly.

Then, if you want to build your own moat and create a catering barrier that no one can break, Liu's Group only needs to solve one problem.

The problem is cashless payments!
