Chapter 26: [Winter Vacation is Coming]
After the half-term exam, Zhou Yi's results immediately became a topic of conversation among the students in the class for a while. But Zhou Yi is not as proud as many children of this age because of his good grades, he has always been very bland, and he hardly socializes with too many people in the class, only with a Zhuangzi's Zhou Hao, Zhou Zili, Zhao Haiyun, and Xu Tongle. Because Zhou Yi understands that in this class, there are no friends worthy of him to make deeply, and he doesn't want to waste his energy on these vain things. Similarly, Zhou Yi did not have the situation of being bullied in his previous life. Xu Jiahu has been taught a lesson by him, and the news that Zhou Yi can fight more than a dozen by himself is known to the boys in the class, so no one usually dares to bully Zhou Yi, and even more dare not bully Zhou Zhuang's people.
The results of the half-term exam also made Zhou Yi's parents very satisfied, and they specially rewarded Zhou Yi with fifty yuan. In the following days, Zhou Yi was still extremely easy, the supermarket was running very well, and Zhou Yi's parents' bus was also running smoothly, all of which made Zhou Yi feel that life was gradually becoming better. The comfort of life also seems to accelerate the loss of time, and a semester of life is about to pass. Winter is getting colder and colder, and after Zhou Yi wrapped himself in a thick cotton jacket and took the final exam on the last day, his first semester of student life since his rebirth is over, and the winter vacation is coming.
Zhou Yi has already planned his life during the winter vacation. First, go to the provincial capital to see the godmother's family, and then learn to drive with Lin Qianqian; second, plan with Liu Siyuan specific measures to open a new supermarket; third, discuss with Liu Siyuan how to quickly expand the company's scale.
On the third day after the final exam, Zhou Yi went to the school to collect the exam report card. This time when he received the report card, Zhou Yi no longer had the same worries and worries as in his previous life, because the numbers on the report card clearly told Zhou Yi that he had once again achieved the first place, a perfect score in mathematics and ninety-eight in Chinese.
In the evening, after the parents came back and saw Zhou Yi's report card, the two adults were happy as if they were going to celebrate the New Year, and their faces were full of happiness. Zhou Yi mentioned that he would go to the provincial capital in two days, and his parents happily agreed, and asked Zhou Yi to thank Zhou Yi's godmother's family for their help to Zhou Yi and their family on behalf of them.
In the next two days, Zhou Yi accompanied some children of the same age in the village to play, and began to march to the provincial capital early in the morning of the third day. This time, when I went to the provincial capital on Monday, I didn't notify my godmother's family. When I arrived in Donglu City, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon.
casually found a restaurant on the street and had some food, and Zhou Yi made a phone call to Liu Siyuan. Half an hour after Liu Siyuan received Zhou Yi's call, his car arrived at the place Zhou Yi said. After a brief greeting, Zhou Yi got into Liu Siyuan's car, and the two went to the Yangtze River Wholesale Market, where the company is located.
After coming to the company, Zhou Yi discussed with Liu Siyuan the specific matter of opening a new supermarket.
"Cousin, what is the total profit of the two supermarkets in the past six months?"
"In the first two months of the new opening of the supermarket, the business was very prosperous, and in the next three months, the business increased significantly due to the increase in the popularity of the supermarket and the lack of competitors, and the net profit was compared with the first two months. In the past five months, the total profit of the two supermarkets has exceeded 8 million. I was going to leave some of the liquidity and the rest of the money was sent to you. But the card you're using now isn't your own, and it's a hassle to get in. Liu Siyuan said it lightly, it seems that these profits are all deserved in his opinion. And Zhou Yi also listened very plainly.
"Cousin, don't put the company's profits into my card for the time being, let's talk about this later. I'm here today to discuss with you the idea of opening a new supermarket. ”
"Hehe, let's think about it together. If you didn't come, I would have looked for you. It's okay now, and it also saves me from running towards Sizhen County. Tell us what you think. ”
"Actually, I don't have too many ideas, that is, I thought that the location for opening a new supermarket is Jingzhou City, you see?" Originally, there should be no problem with opening a supermarket in Liu Siyuan's hometown, but Zhou Yi was worried that Liu Siyuan's appearance would affect his father's career.
"Yes. Liu Siyuan said very simply.
"However, you also know that almost all of the company's affairs are done by you, what if someone else attacks your father because of this?" Zhou Yi raised his own question, after all, he didn't understand political things very much.
"Haha, Xiao'an, you've thought too much. Not to mention that you are the boss of the company now, even if the boss is really me, there will be no problem in opening a new supermarket in Jingzhou City. Oh, by the way, Xiao'an, I suddenly thought of a good way to expand the supermarket, let me tell you, do you think it is feasible?"
"Hmm, what's a good way, talk about it?" Zhou Yi looked at Liu Siyuan with interest.
"Our supermarkets are doing very well now, and as time goes on, we will have more and more funds to open new supermarkets. However, this method is too slow. In this way, if we use various means to make the supermarket famous, and then attract rich people from all over the world to join, we charge a certain franchise fee every year, can we quickly expand the scale of the company?" Liu Siyuan pondered for a moment and slowly said his inner thoughts.
"Well, yes, your method is still feasible. Actually, Zhou Yi didn't want to do this in his heart, what he wanted to do was that his career must belong to him, not someone else's. However, Liu Siyuan's method is an effective way to quickly expand the company's scale, and Zhou Yi hesitated. "That's it, what about the new supermarket, we continue to open ourselves, and at the same time implement the method of joining, the two methods in parallel, do you think it's good?" Zhou Yi knows that this method of joining does not seem to have appeared yet, if this method is implemented now, it will definitely attract the participation of many rich people, and this is also the best way to rapidly expand the scale of the company at the moment, when Zhou Yi can not come up with an effective expansion method, this is the best choice.
"That's fine. Then, we have to continue to invest more in advertising. The company's profits in the past few months have not left liquidity for the time being, and all of them have been taken out, anyway, the money of those suppliers in the supermarket has been paid, and we have a two-year contract. Of the eight million, two million were put into advertising, and the remaining one million was taken out to open a new supermarket in Jingzhou City, after all, Jingzhou City is only a prefecture-level city that has just been established, and its development has not yet been scaled, so one million is enough. In the end, the remaining four million went to Shanghai and Beijing to open new supermarkets. ”
"Okay, that's it. In addition to the provincial TV station, it is necessary to advertise on some other provincial TV stations, and the information of joining must be added to the advertisement. Try to choose a smaller place to join, such as the county seat or a regional city like Jingzhou, and big cities such as Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing and so on must open our own supermarkets. ”
"Okay, I'll take this matter to the company meeting to discuss and discuss, and strive to open supermarkets in first-tier cities in the province by the end of 96. Liu Siyuan clapped his hands and said excitedly.
"Of course, I believe in my cousin's abilities. Also, cousin, in the past two years, you have paid attention to a piece of information about Tencent in Shenzhen, that is, information about online instant messaging software. If there is, we must inject capital, but I do not ask for a controlling stake, as long as I become a major shareholder and have a say in the shareholders' meeting. Zhou Yi suddenly remembered Tencent's information.
After all, Tencent's later development is still very good. The reason for not holding is that Zhou Yi does not have talents who understand the Internet now, and even if he really controls it, he doesn't know how to operate. Or become a major shareholder, let Ma Huateng toss, and he just waits to make money. In fact, Zhou Yi is not sure when Tencent was founded, nor does he know the specific time when QQ appeared, maybe just two years.
"Okay, I'll make a note of this, and I'll tell you when I have news. Liu Siyuan smiled happily, and then said: "Xiao'an, this is also a holiday, just play in the provincial capital for a few more days, right?"
"I'm really going to stay a few more days this time. By the way, cousin, do you know Shi Jie, the son of Shi Dongjun, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee?"
"Of course Shi Shao knows, but I heard a while ago that he was deposed, and this guy is now looking for enemies all over the city. I've also heard that the person who deposed him is just a child?" Liu Siyuan said gloatingly. It can be seen that Liu Siyuan and Shi Jie are estimated to be the kind that do not deal with each other, although Shi Jie belongs to Donglu, in our local dialect, it is called "watch the pot door, pull the fire fork" (an iron rod used to burn locally) type, but with Liu Siyuan's relationship, Liu Siyuan is not afraid of him.
"Have you found out who it is?" asked Zhou Yi deliberately.
"Where to check, that kid seems to have disappeared from the world after abolishing Shi Jie, Shi Jie has turned over all the provincial capitals, but he hasn't found it. Liu Siyuan also said suspiciously.
Zhou Yi smiled awkwardly and changed the subject. The two talked for a while, and Zhou Yi left. Monday, who came out of the company, took a taxi to his godmother's house. Zhou Yi, who was sitting in the car, remembered the difficulty of communicating with Liu Siyuan and wanted to buy a mobile phone. Now mobile phones have appeared in China, and Liu Siyuan has a mobile phone in his hand that looks very old and antique. However, Zhou Yi, as a junior high school student, holds a mobile phone that is still very expensive every day, which is very public, and this matter will be talked about in two years. At the moment, it is not as convenient as installing a landline phone at home. "Well, we have to be prepared for this. ”
When she came to Xu Li's house, there was only her godmother Xu Li at home, Xu Li saw Zhou Yi's arrival, and hugged Zhou Yi very happily, so she pulled Zhou Yi up and asked the east and the west. Zhou Yi answered Xu Li's question while experiencing Xu Li's feelings for herself, and her heart was full of joy.
"What about Sister Sissi and Sister Bingbing?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Your sister Sissi has gone to pick up Bingbing, and you will be back in a while. By the way, Xiao'an, I have to stay at home for a few more days this holiday. ”
"Of course, godmother. I'll be with you this time. On Monday, he pretended to be an innocent child and sprinkled a "little petite" on Xu Li.
Zhou Yi and Xu Li chatted at home for nearly an hour, and Lin Qianqian and Lin Bingbing opened the door and came back. Seeing Zhou Zhou sitting at home, Lin Qianqian smiled at Zhou Yi, while Lin Bingbing happily ran up and pulled Zhou Yi's arm while shaking it constantly, while asking not to take any more musical instrument lessons and asking Zhou Yi to teach him. This time, Monday happily agreed.
As soon as he finished agreeing here, Lin Bingbing climbed up the pole and asked Zhou Yi to play a song live. Zhou Yi had no choice but to catch the duck on the shelf and take the zither on Lin Bingbing's back, put it on the coffee table in the living room, and moved a small stool to play it. Zhou Yi didn't think about any tunes in advance before playing them, just played them casually. Although this song was only played casually on Monday, there was still a deep sadness in the song, which was not a reflection of Zhou Yi's reality, and it was a portrayal of Xiao Li Tanhua's life at that time.
After the song was finished, before Zhou Yi had time to come out of the atmosphere of the song, Xu Li spoke first: "Xiao'an, you are young, why do you play such a sad tune?"
"Yes, Brother Xiao'an, you see you have bounced my tears down. ”
However, the level of Xiao's performance is very high, and it is not easy to fully express the connotation of the song. Xu Li took over and praised Zhou Yi's performance level.
"My godmother has won the award, and I usually have nothing to do by myself, and I practice indiscriminately. Zhou Yi said modestly.
"So, Mom, let Brother Xiao'an teach me, are you relieved?"
"Don't worry, you kid ......" Xu Li pinched Lin Bingbing's pretty nose dotingly.
In the evening, after Lin Tai'an got off work, everyone finished eating and rested. And Zhou Yi looked for an opportunity to find Lin Qianqian and said, "Sister!"
"What's the matter?"
"I want to learn how to drive!"
"Now?"
"Hmm!"
"But I'm afraid I don't have time lately, and in a week's time, I'm going to do an internship. ”
"So fast!" Zhou Yi said regretfully.
"Don't worry, although I can't teach you personally, I can find you a good master!" Lin Qianqian looked at Zhou Yi's depressed appearance, and couldn't help but smile and said.
"Where?"
"Xia Zhiqiang!"
"He's, yes, he's definitely a big driver. Zhou Yi thought for a while and said. Previously, Zhou Yi didn't think of Xia Zhiqiang, he only thought of Lin Qianqian, who drove very smoothly. In his heart, Zhou Yi couldn't think of Xia Zhiqiang, but thought of Lin Qianqian, in essence, he was just like being close to Lin Qianqian. "Okay, when I get back, I'll ask him. Lin Qianqian couldn't teach, so Zhou Yi had to retreat to the second.
