A few days passed in a flash, and New Year's Day in 1994 arrived as scheduled.

"Four Qi New Year's Day, the beginning of longevity". "Yuan" has the meaning of beginning, and "Dan" refers to the time of dawn, and also refers to the day. The Chinese people have a long history of celebrating New Year's Day, and there are written records since the Qin Dynasty, which can be said to have a long history.

The difference between the "New Year's Day" in ancient times and the present is that the date is the first day of the first month of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, the first day of October in the ancient calendar was set as the New Year's Day, which was used in successive dynasties. In the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian created the "Taichu Calendar", which took the first day of the first month as the New Year's Day.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the first Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) used the "Common Era Law" to call the first day of the first lunar month "Spring Festival" and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar as "New Year's Day".

Secondly, because the Chinese people respect the Spring Festival, they do not pay much attention to the New Year's Day after changing the kilometer in modern times. It's basically just a few ordinary days, and the biggest meaning may be a three-day holiday. However, it is a festival, so basically every household will do a big cleaning to welcome the new year.

Li Ran's house is also cleaning up today to welcome the festival. However, because it is a newly renovated yard and the area is too large, it only cleans a few rooms.

The old lady has been living at home for the past few days, and she didn't use it much when she deliberately left the car, but occasionally when she went out with Vanilla and the children, she would let Chen Hu pick her up.

Although I was worried about whether the two children would catch a cold or something from time to time, I thought that the old lady was a person who had brought four children after all, and she must know more than herself, so she was left to her alone. However, the two children have been really happy with the old lady these days, especially An An, who has more time to laugh, and the little girl's temper has become much better, and she will not cry at every turn.

Li Ran didn't go to the company in the morning, so he stayed at home to accompany the old lady and her two children. After all, it's a holiday, and he also wants to stay at home with his family, which can also have a festive atmosphere.

Although the company is on holiday today, there are many people on duty. The retail industry has to carry out promotions every holiday, and this is not only a matter for individual stores, but also for the headquarters and branches today.

This time, the promotional activities of each branch are basically the unified customized standards of the headquarters planning center, and on this basis, each branch will have a certain amount of fine-tuning. The unified promotional activities indicate the unification of the business norms of the various branches of Wanjia, from the initial store brand, decoration, the unity of store staff clothing, to the current unity of the entire management mode, Wanjia is undoubtedly more and more successful on the road of home appliance chain.

Wanjia headquarters formulated three strategic plans a year ago, the first is the establishment of a logistics network, after all, there are contracts with various manufacturers, and Wanjia itself will be responsible for logistics and transportation after June. The second is the promotion of the membership system, which is a strategy that Li Ran has been implementing, and it is also a plan that needs to be continuously promoted and has slow results. Finally, the unification of management methods is also the focus of early development.

The unified business mode will bring Wanjia not only the convenience of management, but also the brand influence. Every place is the same brand, the same storefront, the same service, and the experience brought to consumers is not boring, but reassuring. Consumers will subconsciously think that such a large enterprise all over the country is trustworthy, and after comparing it with other stores, they will not hesitate to choose Wanjia.

Wanjia or Li Ran's goal is to become a leading enterprise in the entire home appliance retail industry, which seems to be a far goal, but in fact, as long as the three strategies are perfectly implemented, then this goal is within reach.

At this point in the development of the company, it will basically no longer be easily affected by a certain person or something, and gradually the real volume is enough to deal with various emergencies. Therefore, Li Ran is also gradually delegating power to various vice presidents.

After the last "industrial and commercial inspection incident," Li Ran learned a lesson and set up a system whereby six deputy general managers took turns on duty. Each person rotates for one week, subject to availability. This is the improvement of the company's emergency mechanism, if there is an emergency, it can be dealt with directly, but it is really impossible to deal with it, you can stabilize the situation first, and then find Li Ran to deal with it. For this reason, Li Ran endured the pain and spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy a brick-sized "mobile phone", which has a special NB name, called "Big Brother".

It is really not an exaggeration to say that it hurts meat, two yuan five for a minute for long-distance distances, and six yuan for local calls. Calling like this is basically burning money, and even Li Ran can't afford it. So I bought it basically as a pager, otherwise if I really want to talk about a conference call, it will cost at least 100 yuan an hour.

For the time being, there is nothing big to deal with at work, but the troubles of life have come with vaccination. The old lady has been staying at home since she returned from the United States, and it has been four or five days now. This situation is very abnormal, even if you go out for a period of time in an ordinary person's house, you will also want to go home to see, not to mention that the old lady has been abroad for nearly two years, and today is still in the case of the holiday. So Li Ran guessed that the old lady must have something, and it was estimated that she would say it later.

Sure enough, after cleaning the room, the old lady persuaded Li Ran in a roundabout way, and finally directly understood his feelings, and asked him to go home and give in to his father. It really made Li Ran's head bigger, Li Ran didn't expect that the old lady had been living here in ambush for the past few days.

In the end, after the old lady's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Li Ran still agreed to go back. After all, no matter what, I have to go back to the New Year, and when the time comes, I will intercede with the old man, and there is still a great hope that the marriage will be completely put aside. Now the Chinese New Year is less than a month away, so it is not bad to be early or late, and you can also give Vanilla a holiday and let her go home for the holidays to accompany her relatives.

Naturally, when you go home, you don't just stay for a day or two, but you also have to bring your child's milk powder, clothes, toys and so on. packed a large bag of things, and drove home by Chen Hu with the happy old lady holding the child.

Li Ran's Laozi was only transferred to the commander of the Yanjing Garrison in early 93, and now lives in Xishan, which is known as the garrison's own land. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, many leaders and their families lived in the Xishan villa area, and after the special period, the old man returned to the high-level and moved in. But after that, the old man, like all the leaders, took a back seat, and the Li family did not continue to live in the Xishan villa like some people, and the family moved out and bought a courtyard in Dongcheng to live in.

In the case of the vast majority of moving away, the headquarters of the Yanjing Garrison, which was originally stationed in Xishan only for the needs of protecting the leadership, gradually developed Xishan into a self-reserved land. After that, except for the residences of individual big leaders and the few houses that have been occupied, most of the other villas have been reopened and used as the residences of the main leaders and their families of the Military Commission and the garrison.

Yanjing West Mountain, is a branch of Taihang Mountain, known as "the head of Taihang Mountain" in ancient times, also known as Xiaoqingliang Mountain. At this time, because Xishan was still a military station, the vigilance was extremely strict. There are a total of four sentry posts from the bottom of the mountain to the villa area, and Li Ran's car can't even pass the first checkpoint because it doesn't have a pass, and it is still the car picked up by the driver of the garrison who sent his mother over last time.

When they arrived at the door, Li Ran's second brother-in-law was already waiting at the door, obviously both of them came, but they didn't know if they came by themselves or notified by their mother.

After getting out of the car, Li Ran couldn't help but look around. Although the rows of white stucco walls and light red roof tiles in front of him exude an old atmosphere, it does not affect his curiosity about this place where he has lived many national leaders. But after looking around, I didn't feel any difference, it was just that the environment looked better.

After explaining to Chen Hu, he drove away. I told Chen Hu before that I would go back first after sending them off, after all, there is probably no place to live here. And now when you go home, you can also go and send vanilla by the way, and go to meet vanilla's parents.

Then the second brother-in-law helped carry the things, and Li Ran and his mother entered the courtyard gate in front of the villa with their two children in their arms, which was also the first time he walked into this family that was once only in his imagination.
