Chapter 269: Spending money is like running water

Rice country, the capital.

As the person in charge of the Laoliu fast food chain in the United States, Xie Hualian is still under a lot of pressure in her heart.

Xie Hualian and Liu Xiaxue are college classmates, sisters in the same dormitory, and the relationship has always been good.

When the study of the rice country was over, it happened that Lao Liu Fast Food was ready to go abroad, and Liu Xiaxue, who had always been in contact with Xie Hualian, handed over the business of the rice country to her.

Xie Hualian has no work experience, and she will sit in a high position as soon as she comes, and she is also walking on thin ice, for fear of messing up the business, so she will be sorry for her good girlfriend.

Fortunately, Xie Hualian is a highly educated talent after all, although she has no work experience, Liu Xiaxue also sent her a right-hand man, plus the United States is also starting from scratch, she has also learned a lot of things that are not in books in the process of starting from scratch.

Today, there are more than 100 Laoliu fast food chains in the United States, which can be regarded as a preliminary opening up.

The only pity is that the difference between Chinese and Western diets is indeed obvious, this more than 100 Laoliu fast food chains, almost seventy percent of the customers patronized are overseas Chinese, and the remaining thirty percent are foreigners.

Compared with the success of KFC and McDonald's in China, Lao Liu Fast Food is quite a failure.

Of course, it's not a loss, but compared with domestic stores, the profits of stores in Mi are much worse.

For this reason, Xie Hualian has also tried to use various methods to promote Lao Liu fast food, but it has been with little success, most foreigners are disdainful of Lao Liu fast food, and they don't even have the idea of coming in to taste it, and they don't give you a chance to play at all.

Just like stinky tofu, for many people, they are not interested in tasting it when they smell it, even if you blow the taste into the sky, it is useless, if you don't want to eat it, you don't want to eat it!

Recently, Xie Hualian racked her brains and came up with a promotion plan again, that is, to eat Lao Liu fast food, you will have the opportunity to win the Apple 4S mobile phone that was only launched in October last year.

The general idea is that every Sunday, Laoliu Fast Food will hold an on-site lucky draw, and the prize will be three latest Apple 4S mobile phones, as long as customers who have consumed in Laoliu Fast Food within a week, they are eligible to participate in this lottery.

Anyway, if you consume once, you will get half a special small brand, and the more you spend, the more small brands you get, the greater the chance of winning.

Whether it will have an effect, Xie Hualian is not sure, she can only try it first, if there is still no way to increase the turnover, then she has no face to serve as the person in charge anymore, so she can only resign!

So, after several days of preparation and improvement, Xie Hualian finally officially implemented this promotion plan in more than 100 stores of Laoliu Fast Food on April 23, 2012, United States time.

......

Although the change pass is ready to go online at any time, Yanagi Hui still pressed the time back, preparing to wait for the June version to be updated, and then it is not too late to launch the change pass.

Because if it is launched now, you have to deliberately advertise for the change pass, and wait for the version to be updated, then you don't need to go out of your way to advertise, a simple new version of the operation prompt, you can let all WeChat users know the existence of the change pass.

Therefore, Liu Xiahui clearly told Zhou Xiaomin that the change pass will be launched in the version update on June 1.

......

In May, Bainiu Town completed the land acquisition work.

In order to facilitate future transportation, Liu Xiahui finally selected the two villages next door to Qinghe Village, which will have a highway through in a few years, and it is most suitable to build a cold storage group here.

In these two villages, a total of several square kilometers of land were expropriated, and hundreds of millions of dollars were spent, so that hundreds of millionaires were born in the two villages, and they became the existence of Bainiu Town second only to Qinghe Village.

The other villages that were not selected were disappointed, but there was no way to force this kind of thing, and they could only hope that next time such a good thing would come to them.

After the completion of the expropriation work, the construction of this large-scale project with an investment of tens of billions of yuan has officially begun.

Before that, the cold storage group located in Qindao had already taken the lead in starting construction.

Don't look at the Qindao side started later than Bainiu Town, but the people occupied the right time and place, and the local government was more powerful.

Therefore, the construction time on the Qindao side is a month earlier than that of Bainiu Town.

The construction of two super cold storage groups, coupled with the fact that the mask industry chain in the provincial capital of Guangdong Province is also in its infancy, as well as the luxury community under construction in the provincial capital, as well as the expanding chain stores, the entire Liu's Group can be said to be spending money like water.

Of course, although the money is spent more, but the more money is earned, the business of Lao Liu Catering is very good, even if it is the same cost as others, it can make a lot of money.

What's more, with the goldfinger bonus, the cost is really low to the point that outsiders can't imagine, and the profit is completely higher than everyone expected.

......

Sunday, May 20.

In the villa of the Liu family in Qinghe Village, the relatives of the Liu family gathered together.

Today is the day when Liu Xiaxue officially brought her boyfriend home, because she called in advance, so today there is no shortage of relatives.

Therefore, in front of the Liujia villa, all kinds of luxury cars are parked.

After all, the current relatives of the Liu family, with the support of Liu Xiahui for so many years, are no longer the poor they were back then, haha, they have long been reborn and changed shotguns!

It is no exaggeration to say that these relatives now have a net worth of at least tens of millions, and many of them are worth hundreds of millions, and they are really the richest people in the countryside.

At this time, Liu Xiaxue and her boyfriend were still on their way back, and all the relatives asked around Liu Xiahui, who was the only one who knew.

"Xiaohui, what is the name of this boyfriend your sister is looking for, and where is he from?" The first to ask was her cousin Jiang Zifeng, who also came with her husband and children this time.

Liu Xia Hui said with a smile: "His name is Tang Zicheng, and his ancestral home is from Shanghai!"

Cousin Song Qing also asked curiously: "Cousin, my cousin is so beautiful, is her boyfriend handsome?

Liu Xiahui said with a smile: "He still looks very good, and his family background is not bad, he is the second young master of the Tang Group, and he can be regarded as an authentic rich second generation!"

Song Qing blinked her eyes and said, "Tang Group, this name is a little familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere!"

Uncle Liu Yuanjin has been collecting rent very well recently, and he is more concerned about real estate, so he asked in surprise: "Xiaohui, the Tang Group you are talking about, but the Tang Group that developed the sky-high luxury house of Tang's Yipin in Shanghai?"

Liu Xia Hui nodded and said, "It's this Tang Group!"

Liu Yuanjin exclaimed: "That's amazing, this Tang Group should be very rich, right? Xiaoxue has a good eye!"

Liu Xiahui smiled faintly and said: "It's okay, it's only billions, the main thing is that my sister likes it, and the family background is secondary!"

Liu Yuanjin was speechless, billions of net worth are indeed a lot for him, but in the eyes of his nephew, it is obviously not worth mentioning!

But it's no wonder that just the cold storage group that has just started construction, his nephew is ready to invest tens of billions, and one investment is two cold storage groups.

Other relatives also began to talk to me, and the topic was focused on this Tang Zicheng, after all, since Liu Xiaxue had made it possible to bring him back to see his parents, the marriage between the two could basically be decided.

At noon, a helicopter with only a few seats fell from the sky and stopped on the wide ground in front of the Liu family's villa, which was specially repaired by the Liu family to park the helicopter.

Soon, Tang Zicheng and Liu Xiaxue stepped down from the helicopter, with large bags and small bags in their hands, except for regular cigarettes, tea and wine, the rest were all kinds of luxury goods.

This helicopter is not the Liu family's helicopter, but the Tang family's helicopter.

Although the Tang family's assets are not as fractional as the Liu family, they are also billions of wealthy families, and it is not surprising that they have a helicopter with several seats.

The moment they saw Tang Zicheng, all the relatives of the Liu family nodded secretly, not to mention the rest, this appearance pass is passed.

And after Tang Zicheng got off the helicopter, his heart began to beat the drum, and the black pressure in front of him was full of people, and after a cursory glance, there were at least more than 100 people, which is false for a man who came to see his parents for the first time.

Especially when the woman's family background can throw the man 108,000 miles, the man is even more weak-hearted.

Fortunately, it is comforting that Tang Zicheng has initially gained the approval of his brother-in-law, and with his brother-in-law's prestige in the Liu family, as long as he expresses his support, I believe that no one in the Liu family will oppose them!

Just when Tang Zicheng's mind was turning, Liu Xiaxue had already begun to introduce a group of relatives for him: "This is my father, this is my mother, this is the third uncle, this is ......"

Every time Liu Xiaxue introduced one, Tang Zicheng followed and said hello, and when he introduced all his relatives, it was already more than ten minutes later.

Tang Zicheng followed Liu Xiaxue and tried to recognize people while greeting him, and soon cold sweat broke out on his forehead, there are too many relatives in the Liu family, and he doesn't have the ability to remember them, it is impossible to remember so many relatives.

Therefore, Tang Zicheng can only selectively remember some more important relatives.

Liu Xia Hui is also a person who has been someone's son-in-law, so he naturally knows what kind of mood and state it is like to meet the woman's parents for the first time, so after his sister introduced all the relatives and the two sides greeted each other, he pulled his prospective brother-in-law over to drink tea and chat, which can be regarded as a relief for him.

"Sister, brother-in-law, is your wedding date set?" asked Yanashita Hui as he poured tea.

When Tang Zicheng heard the title of "brother-in-law", he was overjoyed and said: "The wedding date has not been set yet, anyway, I listen to your sister, she will be whenever she says!"

Liu Xiaxue said: "Xiaohui, I want to set January 4, 2013, do you think this date is appropriate?"

Liu Xia Hui smiled: "Of course it is appropriate, this homonym is rare in a hundred years, and there is six or seven months of preparation time, which is enough!"

Liu Xiaxue looked at Tang Zicheng and asked, "What do you think?"

Tang Zicheng nodded again and again and praised: "I love you for a lifetime, there is no more suitable day than this!"

Liu Xia Xue clapped his hands and said, "Then it's decided!"

Tang Zicheng snorted, and immediately said: "Then when I go back, I will immediately ask my mother to prepare for the wedding!"

......

During the meal, because of the large number of relatives, the Liu family opened a total of more than a dozen tables.

Originally, Tang Zicheng thought that such a big pot of rice should not taste too good, but when he ate it, he found that all the meals were extremely delicious, which was a step better than those five-star restaurants he had eaten, which was incredible.

Especially the dish known as "yellow fried pork", which is really the most fragrant pork belly he has ever eaten in his life.

Not only the food, but even the fruit was exceptionally delicious.

This is the first time Tang Zicheng has met the woman's parents, although the two have even set a wedding date, it is impossible for him to stay at the woman's house overnight, so at about three o'clock in the afternoon, he left in his helicopter.

Liu Xiaxue didn't leave with her, she brought her boyfriend back, what was the attitude of her parents, she naturally had to figure it out.

So, after Tang Zicheng left, the family sat together.

Liu Xiaoxian has piano lessons to attend today, so neither mother nor daughter has come back.

It's all a family, and Liu Xiaxue has nothing to be shy about, so she asked directly: "Dad, Mom, what do you think of him?"

Liu Yuansheng said: "I've only met once, and I can't see anything, but from his treatment of people and his speech and demeanor, it can be seen that he is a person who has seen the world, anyway, as long as you like it, Dad has no opinion!"

Jiang Shiyun said: "Mom has no opinion, the young man looks very good, but I don't know what kind of person his mother is, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is an eternal problem, whether your marriage is happy or not, half of it depends on the man you chose, and half of it lies in your future mother-in-law, so you have to see his mother clearly, lest it will be too late to regret it if you really get married!"

Liu Xiahui nodded and said: "Sister, Mom's words are very reasonable, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really important, I will go to Shanghai another day to invite her to a meal and observe what kind of person your future mother-in-law is!"

Liu Xiaxue said speechlessly: "It's not so serious, right? I think his mother is also very good, and she is very enthusiastic about me!"

Liu Xiahui said: "It is normal for his mother to be enthusiastic about you, and our family is not a small family, so we want to climb the high branches of their Tang family, on the contrary, if their Tang family can marry your sister back, it will be a blessing that their family has cultivated for several generations."

It can be said that as long as your brother and I are not bankrupt, your in-laws will only have the share of pleasing you in this life.

However, this is just for normal people, the most important thing in this world is wonderful, I still have to go over to see it in person to rest assured!"

Jiang Shiyun said approvingly: "Xiaoxue, your brother is right, under normal circumstances, with your brother's wealth and status in society, your in-laws can only please you in this life." But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, there are all kinds of people in this world, your brother's social experience is much better than yours, and it is a good thing to let your brother meet his mother!"

Liu Xiaxue knew that it was all for her good, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I have no opinion!"
