Chapter 20: Prelude to the Supermarket

Zhou Yi scratched his head embarrassedly and said what happened in embarrassment.

After listening to Zhou Yi's words, Captain Ma's face finally looked better. He walked back and forth on the side of the road a few times in embarrassment, and discussed a few words with the stationmaster Yang Guo, and then said slowly: "This matter is always Lao Wang's fault first, I think this matter will be forgotten like this." However, this matter should not be quiet, and I will deal with the follow-up matters. ”

Captain Ma gave face so much, and Zhou Yi was also very grateful. "Thank you, Captain Ma. At noon, Sunshine Hotel, I invite everyone to bring these four with you...... Big brother. However, I'll avoid it for a while, you talk to them first, otherwise they will probably be furious when they see me. After speaking, Zhou Yi stepped forward and woke up the four people who were sleeping on the ground. The reason why I brought these four was not that Zhou Yi was afraid of them, but that Zhou Yi didn't want to set up any obstacles for his parents. The so-called Hades is easy to provoke, and the little ghosts are difficult to deal with. Although these imps don't have much power, they are still very "professional" in the shadows.

Zhou Yi walked to a shop in Louqiao to take a rest, and heard Lao Wang and Captain Ma babbling something.

"Brother Xiaoan. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the voice of Captain Ma was finally heard.

Seeing the four assistant policemen who were knocked down by himself again, Zhou Yi smiled, and the faces of the four over there were very ugly. Although after Captain Ma's "enlightenment", the four knew that Zhou Yi could not be provoked, but in the face of a child who knocked down his four adults, they still couldn't wipe off their face.

"Alright. Give me face, that's all for today. Lao Wang, you come first. Captain Ma spoke.

Lao Wang, Wang Zhongjun finally squeezed out a smile and stretched out his hand to Zhou Yi. "It's really a big flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. I'm sorry, Brother Xiaoan. "It seems that this Wang Zhongjun still has some experience, otherwise it would not be good to sit at the head of these assistant policemen. When the other three shook hands with Zhou Yi, although they didn't dare to resent Zhou Yi in their hearts, the expressions on their faces were still very hard. In particular, the guy whose mouth was full of teeth that were almost knocked out shook hands with Monday as if he had touched a poisonous snake, and he would return as soon as he touched it.

After Zhou Yi got into Captain Ma's police car, the two police cars drove towards the county seat one after another. Back in the county seat, Captain Ma returned to the traffic police team first, while Lao Wang and the others had to go to the hospital to take a good look at the injuries on their faces, and Zhou Yi got off the bus in front of Dongguan Station.

"Xiao'an, what's going on?" Seeing Zhou Yi walk into the station, Zhou Ziyan and Zhou Xiaohua, who had been looking in the direction of the gate, hurriedly ran over and asked.

"It's okay, don't worry, it's all settled. Zhou Yi waved his hand quite chic and said.

"You kid, when did you learn to fight, and you're still so good. Zhou Xiaohua still had a little worry on his face.

The matter was resolved, and after hearing that Zhou Yi angrily beat the "police" in Louqiao, Zhou Ziyan and Zhou Xiaohua's status in these sports cars in the county immediately rose to a very high position and became characters that could not be messed with. And many traffic police in the county also know that there is a person surnamed Zhou who drives a minibus and has a very good relationship with Captain Ma, so he can't check it.

When the bus departed from the county seat back, Zhou Yi did not follow the car, but ran to the county town near Zhongcheng Street to look at the terrain. Zhongcheng Street, the most ...... in Sizhen County It can be called a prosperous ...... of a street. Behind Zhongcheng Street is across a provincial road from the county government, while in front of Zhongcheng Street is a Xinhua bookstore and some small shops selling small electrical appliances. The buildings on Zhongcheng Street between Xinhua Bookstore and the county government are a group of three- and four-story buildings, and the first floor of these buildings is distributed with most of the small shops selling all kinds of goods in the county.

On the top, Zhou Yi knew before that there was an empty building of an abandoned county department store, which could be used as a place for the early supermarket to operate. Zhou Yi also knew that later in 2006, it was bulldozed and a 16-story office building was built. The bottom three floors of the building are the largest supermarket in the county and a variety of brand-name clothing or sports product stores, and the fourth and fifth floors above are some song halls, KTVs, and bars. And what is more, Zhou Yi doesn't know, he hasn't been there, and he hasn't inquired.

Therefore, this is the most ideal place to open a supermarket on Monday. After a casual look, Zhou Yi went to Lin Rongrong's house again, inquired about the county's development of Zhongcheng Street, and knew that the county government had no such plan at all, so he left. At noon, they invited Captain Ma and them to a banquet in the county seat, and after discussing their grievances with Wang Zhongjun, they found a phone booth and made a phone call to Liu Siyuan, telling him how to meet in the county seat three days later, Zhou Yi got into his own car and went home.

Walking home from the side of the road, Zhou Yi kept thinking about how to persuade Lin Rongrong's husband, Xia Changbo, who is also the secretary of the county party committee, to develop the land of Zhongcheng Street. When he arrived at home, Zhou Yi was stunned, and there were more than a dozen people standing in front of his house. And these dozen people all knew each other on Monday, Yuan Zhuang's grandmother and father, the second master and the second mother, the third master and the third mother, the fourth master, the sister-in-law, and the two children of the second master's family, Xiaopei and Han Min, and the first daughter of the third master's family, Yuan Fang.

After calling one by one, Zhou Yitong asked his grandmother, "Grandma, why are you all here?" Hurry up and go to the house." ”

"No, I heard that your family bought a car? Let's take a look. Grandma Zhou Yi said with a smile. "Look at this kid's dress, it's like a mess. ”

After everyone entered the house and sat down, Zhou Yi became the object of inquiry. After a lot of talking, Zhou Yi finally answered all the questions of these relatives.

In the evening, before the parents came back, Zhou Yi's grandmother made a table of meals with her sister-in-law and Erniang Sanniang, waiting for Zhou Yi's parents to come back, and at this time, Zhou Yi took one of his younger brothers and two younger sisters to go outside and play their most often played game with the children in Zhuangzi "catching the old ball".

After the parents came back, the whole family sat together and chatted about Zhou Yi's car. Zhou Yi's grandmother and father were skeptical about Zhou Yi's family buying a car, afraid that they would not be able to make money, lose their capital, and would not be able to repay their debts by then. And Zhou Ziyan's three younger brothers and one younger sister are all supportive. Moreover, Zhou Yi's second, third and fourth masters also discussed with their father that if they make money in the future, they will lend them money to buy a car and drive. Anyway, these four brothers have learned a good skill of driving from their father, who was born as a car soldier, but they are honest by nature and are reluctant to go out. Moreover, at that time, there was no trend of going out to work in Zhou Yi's hometown.

In the evening, grandma and dad led a large family back to Yuanzhuang. And Zhou Yi, who stayed at home the next day, ushered in a relative on his mother's side: Zhou Xiaohua's second sister (called the third aunt on Monday. Because he also married out of the Zhou family, he is also called Gu, and there is an explanation in front of him. and his husband, Zhou Xiaohua's two half-brothers and a younger sister (because these three siblings are the children born to Zhou Xiaohua's mother who remarried there, so they were called uncle, brother-in-law and aunt on Monday, and they were also explained earlier). And followed home by his sister Zhou Xueling, who stayed at his grandmother's house during the summer vacation, with a nickname Yingying.

On the third day, Zhou Yi followed the car again to the county seat. At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yi finally met Liu Siyuan and Zhao Zishan and a very handsome young man at the door of Xinhua Bookstore.

"Cousin, why did you come here in person?"

"Although Zishan has the ability, I came here in Sizhen County in person, at least I can straighten out the relationship between the upper and lower levels. By the way, Xiao'an, this is Li Jili, the manager of our company's sales department. ”

"Manager Li, hello! It's very handsome! Just call me Xiao'an."

"Where, it's over, little ...... Shore. "Li Ji screamed a little unnaturally. He obviously knew Liu Siyuan's identity, but Zhou Yi called Liu Siyuan his cousin, which made him feel that Zhou Yi must also be a ya, and rashly called people's names, a little worried that Zhou Yi would not be happy.

"Cousin, I see this place in front of you, this is the supermarket address I chose. You see, this side is the Xinhua bookstore, and the other side is the county government. In front of the county government is the provincial road, in front of the Xinhua Bookstore is Zhongcheng Street, which runs through the county seat, and two intersections two hundred meters apart from each other just divide this place into a good rectangular commercial place. Also, this is exactly where the former prefectural department store was. What do you see, cousin?"

"Let's go up and have a look first!" Zhao Zishan took the lead in speaking. Liu Siyuan also nodded.

When they arrived at the original department store, everyone realized that it was very large. It was empty, except for a few scraps of paper scattered across the dusty floor. There are two floors here, and each floor is not small. What you can't see downstairs is that it is connected, probably from an intersection on the left to an intersection on the right, about 200 meters long. However, it is a little narrower, only a dozen meters.

"It's okay here, it's almost the size of the supermarket in the provincial capital. However, it is estimated that there will be a lot of savings in rent and other related costs. However, I think our funds can be used to build a supermarket with the size of this floor, and it is estimated that it will be a bit difficult if we want both floors. We can wait for the supermarket to hit the rails and slowly scale up. Zhao Zishan expressed his opinion.

"Well, yes, that's what I thought, too. Zhou Yi heard Zhao Zishan's words, nodded and said.

"I agree with Manager Zhao and Xiao An. Now the economy of Sizhen County is not too prosperous, people's consumption power is estimated to be a little low, and suddenly the stall is too big, which is not conducive to the development of this supermarket or our company. When it came to work, Li Ji obviously forgot what he was thinking about just now when he called Zhou Yi's name.

"Okay, that's it, I'll visit County Magistrate Zhang in the afternoon and talk about some specific links. Manager Zhao and I together. Li Ji, you are responsible for inspecting the consumption habits of people in Sizhen County, and it is still necessary to pay a visit to the mountain. After setting the address, Liu Siyuan began to assign tasks. He didn't choose to go to Secretary Xia Changboxia, which made Zhou admire him very much, maybe this is the wisdom honed by people in the political family!

I heard Liu Siyuan say worship the mountain. Zhou Yi couldn't help but think of a nationally famous gangster boss in Sizhen County in the nineties - Seven Stars. This Seven Star not only has great power in Sizhen County, but also in the entire Jingzhou City. Later, this guy went to Shanghai, and in order to hunt down the traitors, he created a gangster fight in Shanghai that shocked the government, and his recklessness finally brought him to the end of glory - he was shot dead in the provincial capital of Dayushan in 2003. Legend has it that although the number of the Seven Stars Gang created by this guy is small, each of them is very strong and strong. Especially Qixing himself, everyone on the road heard that he was a disciple of the Shaolin layman, and his kung fu was very hard.

With Liu Siyuan's appearance, some trivial matters of opening a supermarket went very smoothly. Whether it is industry and commerce, taxation and other relevant departments, all the way to the green light. That night, when Zhou Yi waited for the three of them in the room of the Sunshine Hotel, the procedures were almost done. And tomorrow, Liu Siyuan will return to the provincial capital and personally send a decoration team from the provincial capital to decorate the supermarket.

Seeing that the matter of opening a supermarket has reached the substantive stage, Zhou Yi is also relieved, he doesn't need to worry about some of the things in the future, Liu Siyuan hired special personnel to operate, and about the relevant knowledge of the supermarket, Zhou Yi also said. And what Zhou Yi has to be busy is waiting for the arrival of the start of school, because there are only two days to start, and he will face a new student career.
