"Shuangzhu, what do you think of this box?" asked Chen Chunhua.

"Yes, sister-in-law, please bring me all the signature dishes in the store, we will probably have more than ten people!" Li Shuangzhu said.

"Okay, then I'll order twenty hot dishes, four cold dishes, and two soups first!" Chen Chunhua said with a smile, "I'll arrange for the dishes to be served when people come." ”

"Okay!"

Although Song Nanwen said that Zeng Guoqiang invited Li Liang to dinner, after all, it was Li Liang who asked Zeng Guoqiang to help, and their family was naturally responsible for Zhang Luo's dinner.

"Brother Song, you are more familiar with this kind of dinner, what kind of wine is better to have later?" asked Li Liang.

Song Nanyan thought about it for a moment and said, "The four special old cellars and pile up flowers are more in line with our taste!"

The quality of Site Laojiao wine is not bad, and it is a famous wine in Jiangxi Province. There are also local special liquor piles in the Gangshan area, and the quality of the wine is also good. However, the pile of flowers gradually declined later, and fewer and fewer people drank it, unlike Site, which gradually became famous all over the world.

"Okay!"

In the evening, Zeng Guoqiang brought ten main figures, namely Zhou Qingqing, director of the material bureau, Kang Hua, deputy director, Zhou Jianwen, director of the supply and marketing cooperative, Liao Qiang, deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative, Huang Ming, manager of the food company, Lu Xiaoqing, deputy manager of the food company, Xiao Keyun, manager of the department store, Liu Guangwei, deputy manager of the department store, Hu Yuhua, manager of the local product company, and Geng Zhu, deputy manager. These people are all well-known figures in the business system in Hekang County, and they were all summoned together today by Zeng Guoqiang, the deputy county magistrate.

Among these people, except for Zhou Qingqing, director of the materials bureau, and Lu Xiaoqing, deputy manager of the food company, who are women, the others are all men in their thirties and forties, each with their own characteristics.

These units are different from the decline of later generations, and now they are all hot positions, and they can serve as the first and second leaders in these units, either they have particularly excellent ability, or they have a relatively hard background behind them, and they are young and occupy important positions in the county's commercial system.

At the banquet, everyone drank liquor, only Li Liang relied on his young age and drank juice, and even Li Liang's mother Wang Xiulan drank a glass of 45 degrees of Four Special Laojiao.

What impressed Li Liang the most was Lu Xiaoqing, the deputy manager of the food company, Lu Xiao looked young, only in his thirties, his face was very beautiful, a bit like a young Xie Dajiao, with a strong young woman's taste, she was a very beautiful woman.

Lu Xiaoqing's amount of wine is very good, not only with the deputy county magistrate Zeng Guoqiang touched a full glass, but also with everyone else present, according to Li Liang's observation, two or two cups, she drank at least six glasses, it is really a lot!

And the other director of the Women's Materials Bureau at the wine table, Zhou Qingqing, is a little different from Lu Xiaoqing, this is a half-old with crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

Zeng Guoqiang has obviously explained to the subordinates within these commercial systems he is in charge of, and at the banquet, several directors and managers have said that they can supply the Li family according to the purchase price, and even said that if they encounter defective products, they can directly return them.

Li Shuangzhu and his wife Wang Xiulan realized that their son Li Liang wanted their family to open a grocery and daily necessities store, and they were both a little puzzled, and wanted to wait until they went home in the evening to ask their son what he thought.

The protagonist at the dinner table at night is undoubtedly Zeng Guoqiang, he is a deputy county-level cadre, he is in his fifties, white and fat, just like a Maitreya Buddha. The people present, except for Li Liang's family and Song Nanwen, were all cadres in his charge. Although everyone has their own abilities and backgrounds, it is undoubtedly unwise to offend the leader in charge. Everyone kept toasting Zeng Guoqiang at the wine table.

Of course, another protagonist at the wine table that cannot be ignored is Song Nanwen. Song Nanwen used to be an ordinary employee of the Shi Zhi Office of the county party committee, but last year he was favored by Long Yemin and became Long Yemin's secretary. Although the time is still short, the level is only an ordinary clerk. But everyone knows the importance of this position, and according to the convention, secretaries who can be recognized by senior county officials are generally promoted to the post of deputy director of the county party committee office.

Full of wine and food, Song Nanyu accompanied Li Liang's family to send the leaders back.

"Brother Song, thank you!" Li Liang expressed his gratitude.

"Liangzi, you don't have to be so polite with me!" Song Nanwen said, "Actually, I reported today's incident to Secretary Long, and he admires your spirit of not waiting or relying on you, and daring to jump out of the system to make a living!"

Song Nanwen is a very well-behaved person, and he knows that with such a high-ranking county official, his private affairs will become official affairs. Especially when using the relationship of the leader to do their own private affairs, they must report to the leader in advance. It's one thing for leaders to know whether they know or not, and whether you say it or not is a matter of attitude.

Long Yemin was quite satisfied with Song Nanwen's performance, his previous secretary was because he often used his signboard to do private affairs, and he accidentally knew about it, and he was transferred to a deserted post in the Archives Bureau, and he was completely beaten into the cold palace.

Li Liang and the others sent Song Nanyu away, turned around and returned to the main store of Wangkelai.

At this time, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and except for the occasional few street lamps on Jiefang Street, the other shops were closed. The department store opposite turned off the lights early.

In the store, Chen Chunhua and Wang Xiuyan were checking the accounts, and the sisters Chen Run and Chen Li were cleaning the store with two jobs that Li Liang didn't know. In the back kitchen, chefs Chen Junhua and Kang Xinghua are sorting out today's leftover ingredients, calculating the types and quantities of ingredients needed tomorrow. The whole Wangke has a harmonious division of labor and a thriving appearance.

"Sister-in-law, Xiuyan, you calculate our table tonight!" Li Liang's mother, Wang Xiulan, took out a bag of money from her pocket and came out, ready to pay the bill.

The two of them have long reached a consensus on the issue of running a restaurant, no matter which one eats in the restaurant, they do not pay directly but do not hang the bill. The dividends in the store are all in accordance with the normal business model.

"The cost of the dish is 63.8 yuan, the wine is 38 yuan, a total of 101.8 yuan, the price of the food for my family is 6% off, and the wine is 18 yuan according to the purchase price, a total of 56 yuan!" Wang Xiuyan took out the menu of the Li family and quickly calculated the total cost of the meal.

"Okay!" Wang Xiulan counted out six big unity cards and handed them to her own sister, "Xiuyan, when are you going to come to the house to play on vacation, and let's go to the countryside to see my mother together?"

"Okay, eldest sister, I'll look for you when I'm on vacation!" Wang Xiuyan gave the eldest sister change and responded with a smile.

"Xiulan, where are you today?" asked Chen Chunhua, she saw that it was a group of people from the deputy county magistrate with the commercial system who were attending the banquet today, and asked curiously.

In her impression, Li Shuangzhu and his family seem to be unfamiliar with the deputy county magistrate, how can they eat with them?

"Sister-in-law Chunhua, that's right, Liangzi, you want us to open a grocery store. Wang Xiulan said with a smile, "You also know that these things are not easy to buy now, isn't this an obvious way to snatch food from the mouths of supply and marketing cooperatives and food companies." Liangzi, I asked the county magistrate Zeng to come forward to help dredge up, so that we can buy goods from these state-owned units!"

"Xiulan, this is great, when the store opens in the future, I will come to your store to buy the goods!

Wangke comes to the store to consume a lot of ingredients every day, many of which need to be purchased from supply and marketing cooperatives and food companies, which is a lot of expenses.

"Hey, I haven't decided whether to come out of the factory to do this business! It's all Liangzi, this kid, cut first and then play!" Wang Xiulan complained.

Chen Chunhua persuaded: "I think Liangzi's thinking is quite reliable. Just you and Shuangzhu came out of the textile factory, opened a shop, and made no less money than in the factory!"

Chen Chunhua and her husband Zhang Qingxiang were very convinced of Li Liang in private. From last year to now, among all the ideas that Li Liang has come up with, there are no unreliable. Whether it is opening a restaurant, or letting his eldest daughter Zhang Xin take charge of the Wangkelai branch, or letting Zhang Meng go to Jian'an Company to do finance, the situation of the Zhang family has obviously gone to a higher level. Whether it is the children's career development or the family's economic conditions, they have improved a lot. Recently, Li Liang asked her husband to go to Beimen Village in the north of the city to buy land and build a house, and Chen Chunhua was very supportive.

"Well, let's think about it!" Wang Xiulan said.

Li Liang took the time to say hello to Chen Run and Chen Li, the two sisters have been working in Wangkelai for a year, and they have grown up very quickly. Aunt Chen Chunhua is treated very well, plus bonuses, she can get an income of more than 30 yuan every month, which is no worse than that of people in the formal unit. And in the future, when the store grows, they will have the opportunity to become store managers. Such a rushing day is a happy life.

In the evening, Li Liang and his parents returned home, and the three of them went to the bathroom to take a shower, and the family sat on the sofa in the living room.

Wang Xiulan went to the kitchen to cut a watermelon on the side and put it on the coffee table. The floor fan blows a cool breeze that blows away the summer heat.

"Son, tell your parents, what do you think, do you really want your parents to resign from the factory and open a grocery store?" Wang Xiulan took a piece of watermelon to her son Li Liang and asked.

Li Liang took the watermelon handed over by his mother and took a bite, it was so sweet!

He sorted out his thoughts and said, "Dad, Mom, I've actually been thinking about this for a while. Do you remember the last time you told your dad that you were in some trouble in the factory? It's just that I didn't have the opportunity to contact Deputy County Magistrate Zeng at that time, and it was difficult to directly get through the relationship with the commercial system. ”

"Son, you've been planning this for a long time?" Wang Xiulan said in surprise.

"Hmm!" Li Liang nodded, "Mom, Dad, I mean Dad will continue to stay in the factory to work, Mom, you will go through the procedures of leave without pay from the factory and come back to open a supermarket!"

"Isn't it a grocery store?" asked Wang Xiulan.

"Well, it's a supermarket! It can also be said to be an enlarged version of the non-staple food store, because the supermarket not only sells non-staple food, but also sells daily necessities and anything else that can be sold!" Li Liang explained, "Last time, I heard you say that the efficiency of the factory is not good, and the leaders of the factory are fighting for power and profit, and they do not focus on production." In the whole factory, there are three workshops, only my father, the deputy director of the first workshop, has put his mind on production, and if this continues, your factory will collapse sooner or later!"

"Son, you can't say that. After this period of rectification, the quality of the products in Dad's workshop has been greatly improved!" Li Shuangzhu corrected. He has a lot of affection for the factory where he has stayed for more than 20 years, and the textile factory is no less than his second son, and he does not want to be looked down upon by Li Liang.

Li Liang understands his father's feelings for the textile factory, and in fact, Li Liang also has a deep affection for the textile factory. For as long as he can remember, when he was a child, after school, his mother basically picked him up after work. On weekends, his mother was not worried about him and his sister, and would take their sister and brother to the factory and let them play in the factory. At noon and at night, Mom and Dad would take the two of them to the canteen in the factory, which was enough to accommodate more than 300 people at the same time. Li Liang is still impressed by the food there!

"Dad, I understand your feelings for the factory, but if your factory wants to develop, you alone will not work. It must be a good management mechanism, and there must be a leader who takes the factory as his home. But from the current point of view, this is very difficult to do!" Li Liang said a cruel truth.

Li Shuangzhu also understands this truth, in fact, he has offended many people by promoting new and stricter product quality assessment methods in a workshop during this time.

"Dad, I think since you have such a deep affection for the factory, you still stay in the factory. Mom is still young, so don't stay in the factory. We happen to have a few storefronts, one is left for my sister to open a photo studio, and the other is just used to open a supermarket. You see, this evening, Deputy County Magistrate Zeng made a statement, and the supply and marketing cooperatives, food companies, department stores, and local product companies all promised to supply us at the purchase price, and also allowed the package to be returned or exchanged.

With such good conditions, if we open this supermarket, it is equivalent to opening a big store integrating these state-owned units by ourselves. In these units, ordinary people usually go to buy things, and their salesmen are all ignorant of them.

If my mother comes to run the business, as long as she has a good attitude and enthusiasm, I believe that with the same price and the same quality, they will definitely be willing to come to our store to buy it!" Li Liang analyzed.

This is true, according to their promise, once the Li family opens a store, they can get the goods according to the purchase price of these state-owned units, so even if Li Liang and they directly give the same sales price as these state-owned units, as long as they treat customers with a warm attitude, everyone will definitely be more willing to come to the Li family's supermarket to buy things.

Li Shuangzhu and Wang Xiulan nodded at the same time: "Okay, but my mother has never done business, and she is not very good at this aspect, why don't you call your brother-in-law over to help?"

Li Liang's brother-in-law Wang Fagen helped Li Liang sell teaching and auxiliary materials for a period of time last year, and later helped Li Liang set up a team of salesmen, and sold Li Liang's New Year paintings, Spring Festival couplets and other items to all parts of the province, making a lot of money.

Later, at Li Liang's suggestion, they partnered with Song Liangren, the head of the sales section of the cement factory, Monkey, and Zou Guangguang, Monkey's distant uncle, to open Jian'an Company, and attached it to the name of the cement factory, giving Liu Xinyu, the director of the cement plant, 5% of the dry shares. Zou Guangguang became the manager of Jian'an Company, and Wang Fagen became the deputy manager. Now the business of Jian'an Company is booming, and my uncle and Zhang Meng are doing well in Jian'an Company, Wang Fagen may not be willing to help my sister run a small supermarket!

PS: Please vote a lot, I like both recommended votes and monthly passes!
