Chapter 69 The Xu family's big ship sails
On the penultimate day of Xu Tingsheng's holiday, Xu's father came back from a business trip, hurriedly had dinner together, and went to the supermarket to learn about the situation in recent days.
In fact, Xu Tingsheng really wanted to be able to sit down with his father to chat, since he went to college, Xu Dad almost never mentioned business to him on the phone, and this time when he came back, Xu Tingsheng also found something that puzzled him: there were too many supermarket managers.
Dad Xu came home at 10 o'clock in the evening.
Xu Tingsheng hadn't slept yet, he was waiting.
"I knew that you must be waiting for me", Xu's father said, "I'll talk about it later, come with me first." ”
Dad Xu put down the things in his hand, pulled Xu Tingsheng to the door, pointed to an open field in the distance and a ridge of mountains in front of it, and said, "Our village is no more than 20 minutes away from the county seat, why is it still a poor village?"
Without waiting for Xu Tingsheng to answer, Xu's father continued: "...... Because of the ridge of the mountain, the road was cut off...... The vision is also blocked. ”
Xu Tingsheng knew that his father must have meant something, so he didn't answer, waiting for Xu's father to continue.
"I, your father, used to be the mountain in front of you, and my family background for you has determined that it will be difficult for you to move forward, the road is difficult, and it is difficult to even see farther. ”
Dad Xu continued: "Fortunately, you pushed me, from the day when our father and son stood at the door of the supermarket together, I told myself, I, Xu Jianliang, am 45 years old this year, and I still have time...... I'm going to shovel the mountain for you and help you pave the road...... Then hand it over to you, you go to the outside world to kill a back and forth, it's done, dad is proud of you, no, come back to dad here. ”
Xu Tingsheng was a little in a trance, this is not like the father Xu in his memory, to be precise, in the memory of his previous life when he was a child, the father Xu when he was the most high-spirited did not have the current momentum and thinking, and in the days when he buried himself in the mountains, the most meaningful words he said to Xu Tingsheng were only: get out of the mountains.
Now, what Xu Tingsheng heard was a completely different meaning, the changes that happened to his father in just one month...... Big, big, big.
Xu's father's gaze has penetrated the mountains and has seen far away, the only thing that remains unchanged is that everything he has done and everything he wants to do is still for Xu Tingsheng and his son.
"Let's go, let's have a little drink, I haven't tasted Dad's craft for a long time, right?"
Xu's father was busy in front of the stove, heated rice wine, fried two side dishes, and Xu Tingsheng set up the dishes and chopsticks at the table.
Dad Xu sat down, filled both glasses with wine, raised the glasses and said, "Son...... The first cup, thank you, Dad, this thank you has been saying for a long time, thank you for pushing Dad. ”
Xu Tingsheng drank the wine first, and said with a smile: "Thank you, it's not that Dad, you have opened the way for me to meet the mountains and build bridges when I meet the water all my life,"
Dad Xu also drank the wine dry, jokingly: "Zhuangyuan is just able to speak, better than Zhuangyuan's father...... You can't even drink better than me now, do you?"
"Try?"
"Boy arrogant, then try. ”
The father and son were half-drunk first, and Xu's father took advantage of the drunkenness to talk eloquently, and finally answered several doubts in Xu Tingsheng's heart.
"First, why haven't I talked to you about business since you went to school?...... Because I want to see if I can do it.
When I went to talk to a foreigner's brand about an agent, I walked in by myself, and I knocked on the door of a huge group company,......
I have a great son, but I can't always rely on you, I'm not old, you're still young...... This home shouldn't be carried on your shoulders too soon. ”
"Second, why are there so many managers in the supermarket?......
That's not for this store, they will be dispatched soon, and I have already taken stores in four of the eight counties and cities under the city of Yannan, and the expansion will start immediately. ”
……
Xu's father's determination is great, and the speed of the move is far beyond Xu Tingsheng's expectations, when he first thought of making a large supermarket, he had actually thought about expanding to the surrounding areas, but he didn't expect it to be so fast and so fierce......
In his plan, about a year later, he would propose to Xu's father to expand.
Now, just two months after the opening of the first supermarket, without any prompt from Xu Tingsheng, Xu's father has already taken the pace of expansion.
As far as the current economic environment and development trend are concerned, Xu Tingsheng knows that there is basically no possibility of losing money in large supermarkets with Huangou as a template, and it should even be said that almost every Huangou will inevitably become the cornerstone of Xu's rise.
There were only two things that worried him.
First, the scale of fundraising, Xu's father now has more than 7 million funds in his hands.
Just the Libei family is shopping, even if the business is hot, it is impossible to provide sufficient funds, so Xu Tingsheng knows that during this time, his father not only stopped raising funds, but greatly accelerated his pace.
Second, the impact that Xu's father's ambition and status improvement may bring to his warm family.
Xu Tingsheng has full confidence in his father's personality, and he is only worried that in the process of rushing and climbing, what is consumed is the warmth and cordiality between family members.
"I have something to say, I don't know how to say it, right?" Dad Xu asked with a smile when he saw Xu Tingsheng pondering and hesitating.
Xu Tingsheng thought about it and said with some hesitation:
"Dad, do you remember when I was young, when our father and son didn't have a good relationship with each other, they weren't close, and I was afraid of you.
At that time, you were busy in the factory, and I always came home late, and I would tell my mother every time that I would wait for you at the intersection, because I really rarely saw you, and I really wanted to see you......
I did go, but every time you showed up on the other side of the road, I hid because after a hard day's work, your face was always ugly, and you were easily impatient......
There have been a few times when I went up to call you with joy, but you scolded me for running around outside so late......
Later, I began to be afraid of you, very scared, very afraid...... After that, I didn't care about you, and even started to get used to gambling with you......"
Speaking of this, Xu Tingsheng saw that Xu's father's face had changed slightly, and he stopped and did not continue.
The scene was a little stiff, until Dad Xu's tense face suddenly burst into a bright smile, Dad Xu took a sip of wine and jokingly said: "He is worthy of being my champion son, he is amazing, and he even talked to his father and made some hints." ”
Knowing that his father was joking, Xu Tingsheng was still a little embarrassed.
"If you have any thoughts in the future, tell my dad directly. ”
"Good. ”
"Dad knows what you're worried about, I, your mother and sister and I have already voted on this issue while you're not there, and the result of the vote is that unless a new store opens, I won't be at home for dinner at most once a week, and then I'll be responsible for cooking at least one meal a week...... In addition, I am responsible for growing the vegetables that I want to eat at home...... Look, is there anything else you want to add?"
Xu Tingsheng was stupidly happy, full of worries and then disappeared, at this moment he knew that his father cared more about the warmth and beauty of this family than anyone else, and he was more careful to guard against all threats that might have a bad impact on this family, what Xu Tingsheng was worried about, he had already thought of.
"One more thing, every time I come back in the future, Dad, you have to fry two dishes for me and have a few drinks with me. Xu Tingsheng said with a smile.
"Okay. Dad Xu responded happily.
Regarding the scale of fundraising, Xu Tingsheng didn't mention it, because he didn't actually see anything wrong with it, and even if it wasn't, he was confident that he could plug this loophole with his own ability.
Of course, Xu Tingsheng still expressed his concern about the rapid pace of expansion.
Xu's father told Xu Tingsheng: It's not that we are in a hurry, it's someone else who is in a hurry, so I have to start faster than others.
The repercussions of the success of Huangou in Libei are huge, not to mention the surrounding counties, and even in Libei County, some people are beginning to be excited about the cake of large modern supermarkets.
Dad Xu has funds, channels, talents, and a mature operation model, so it is understandable that he will start first.
This time, he not only won the stores in the surrounding four counties, but also won the stores in the Chengyuan Department Store in Libei County. In Xu Tingsheng's impression, this is the comprehensive transportation location of Libei County, the store area, and the only place that can open a large-scale self-selected supermarket, and in fact, it was indeed in this location in the previous life that the second large-scale self-selected supermarket in Libei appeared.
Now, Dad Xu has taken it into his own hands.
"What's next? I mean, if the surrounding counties are covered, what is your next plan?" Xu Tingsheng asked Xu's father.
Xu's father actually carried an administrative map of Yanhai Province with him in his bag, he took out the map and opened it in front of Xu Tingsheng, and said with a faint smile: "There are not many surrounding cities, there are still many county towns under those cities...... Maybe one day, Dad's bag will be replaced with a map of the whole country, how many counties and cities do you say?...... Also, what map will you have in your bag in the future?"
"Not going to the big city?"
"Don't go for the time being, I see the animal world and understand a truth, before the Xu family becomes a lion, don't go to the prairie. ”
"The countryside surrounds the city. ”
"Yes. ”
Having said this, Xu Tingsheng felt that he had nothing to remind Dad Xu for the time being, and in the actual operation and implementation, Dad Xu was far more effective than him.
He can settle down and go his own way.
Father and son drained the last glass of wine.
The big ship of the Xu family, the sails will rise.
