Lu Li and Xu Yunjian returned to Pengcheng with Li Zhengrong on the same day, waved goodbye to Li Zhengrong at the gate, walked into the Hong Kong region, and returned to the hot pot restaurant smoothly.

In Hong Kong in April, the weather became more and more humid and hot, which also made the business of hot pot restaurants worse, even if the air conditioner was turned on, the situation did not improve at all, and the business of selling less than three or five thousand yuan a day was only barely enough to meet the cost. As for making money, don't even think about it.

Seeing Lu Li and Xu Yunjian entering the door, Gu Zhong, Cao Xun and Ah Mao immediately greeted them, "Are you back?" ”

"Returned." Lu Li's eyes swept over the store, "Business is not good, huh?" ”

"Yes, it's not good, it's too hot, and there are fewer and fewer guests. I asked them to take the printed matter to the road and distribute it, but now I look at it, and it doesn't work. ”

"It's okay, I've thought of this beforehand, let's wait a few days,...... Well, I'll talk to you in detail when the time comes. By the way, has Choi Kee been here lately? ”

"Came once yesterday. Seeing that you weren't there, I chatted a few days and went back. He also said, "I'll call him when you come back." Cao Xun asked, "How is it, do you want to call him now?" ”

"Let's fight, let him come over tomorrow. Oh, and come to my room later, and we'll talk. ”

"Done."

After a while, Cao Xun, Xu Yunjian, Li Tiehan, Gu Zhong, and Ah Mao gathered in his room, and Lu Li changed into a short-sleeved outfit, a little stunned: This time there is no need and cannot let Gu Zhong and the two hear it, but the other party has already come, and it is really inappropriate to drive them down! Fortunately, there are other things to talk about, "I went to Pengcheng this time and met with Director Liu, and the initial plan is to officially increase the transportation of vegetables from the mainland into the port from the third quarter." ……”

Listening to him explain, Cao Xun and Gu Zhong looked at each other, and they couldn't hide their surprise, "Brother Li, there are more than 3,500 tons in a quarter, and on average, it is about 40 tons per day, can we eat so much?" ”

"So I'm going to ask Caiji to gather more people in the near future, he has been in this industry for many years, and he is much more familiar with things such as connections, relationships, monthly sales figures, specific selling prices, etc. If this part of the market can be opened, and they can eat such a large amount, the future development can be expected. "But it's not without its problems, especially the transportation and storage of vegetables. I thought, if this is possible, would we have to consider establishing our own transport and storage base in Hong Kong? ”

Gu Zhong said: "This, I don't know how Hong Kong people do it, but dozens of tons of transportation every day have to be built in a particularly large space, right?" Can we hold it up? ”

Cao Xun said: "Looking at it now, things are divided into two steps, the first is to see how much Caiji and his peers can take, they all have their own storage warehouses, if they can all be used, the rest needs to be solved by ourselves, that is, a small part." ”

"Yes, Cao Xun is right, I also thought about this on the way back." Lu Li nodded and said, "The specifics will be decided after the meeting." Even if it doesn't work out in the end, we can sell and build at the same time, and we can get in time. ”

"I didn't say it, I listened to you anyway."

"The second thing is, I want to go home recently, Cao Xun, you brothers and I will go together. Let's go back and rest for half a month, and then come back. ”

"No, it's only been a few months? Besides, we're not as homesick as you are......"

"Homesickness is only part of it, in addition, I want to go to Chengdu to find Lao Zhou."

The name seemed to be a long time ago, and Cao Xun and Xu Yunjian recalled it before remembering, "Old Zhou? Jay, huh? ”

"Yes, I want to go to Sichuan Province and find him, if he agrees, let him come too, let's do it together."

Xu Yunjian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Xiaoxiao, you don't fucking plan to get all our buddies in the countryside, right?" Good guy, how far is it back to Sichuan Province? ”

"It's not entirely for the sake of Largo and a few people coming in, it's mainly for the sake of our hot pot restaurant here in Hong Kong - you wait and see, I'll go there this time, if I can really succeed, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, our Fangdi hot pot restaurant will definitely become a must-visit food shop for all Hong Kong people, and even tourists from all over the world after arriving in Hong Kong! What is money, how much do I want in Luli?! ””

"Are you okay and poor?" Xu Yunjian poured a basin of cold water on his head, but this sentence was very effective, Lu Li's originally triumphant expression immediately became sluggish, causing Cao Xun to chuckle again and again - only Xu Yunjian dared to say these words!

"Tiny, what?" Cao Xun asked.

"I ...... Well, now it's a preliminary idea, and the specifics depend on how smoothly it goes. It's always a bit difficult - but it's good, it's challenging, it's fun to do! ”

"Less nonsense, we're all tired, what's the matter?" Seeing that he didn't say more, Xu Yunjian got up and left, and patted Gu Zhong and Ah Mao's shoulders, "Go, go, what should you do, don't listen to him for nothing!" ”

The three mermaids rushed out, and Lu Li and Cao Xun looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "This unlucky thing." ”

"Don't say it, Xiaoxiao, you can control him, and in the same way, I think he is the only one who can persuade you. Sometimes, it's fun to watch the two of you talk. ”

"Don't talk about him," Lu Li just seized the opportunity of no one to talk to Cao Xun and Li Tiehan, "I've been thinking about the dividends we talked about recently, Cao Xun, do you remember?" ”

"Remember, what you said in Tian (Tianjin) is about the quota of dividends, right?"

"Yes, I think, there are two options for this matter, either according to the share capital and percentage we set at the beginning; Either according to what Cao Xun said during the Chinese New Year, more income will be added layer by layer, but in that case, I will have to greatly reduce the proportion. ”

Cao Xun and Li Tiehan glanced at each other and asked, "How much are you going to reduce to?" ”

"It won't be more than 5%."

"Why so little?" Cao Xun blurted out and asked, and then felt a little embarrassed, "Xiaoxiao, I don't mean anything else......"

"I know you don't, I won't hide it from you, what I gave Li Zhengrong is only 2.5% a year, and this proportion is calculated according to the total benefit value of each year after that, that is to say, if we earn 1 million, it will be 50,000 yuan."

"Huh? So much, huh? Li Tiehan laughed, as if immersed in the pleasure that the money had arrived; Although Cao Xun was not as unbearable as him, he also had an inexplicable look of surprise, "Xiaoxiao, this is ...... Isn't it too much? ”

"So I'm going to deduct all the mid-year and year-end dividends of the two of you and Xu Yunjian. Everything will wait until the end of the year, and we will calculate the income and allocate the surname again. Lu Li folded his arms around and looked at the two of them, "It's a bit like betting on luck, taking a little risk on each other, what do you say?" ”

"So, how much money can you have, can you know now?"

"This, I don't know, I really don't know. But Lao Cao, Danzi, before you choose, I have to say that in the front, this proportion is not fixed and unchanged, and in the future, as our business gets bigger and bigger, it may become less and less. ”

Cao Xun pondered for a while and quickly made a decision: "I chose what you said, anyway, I'm here in Hong Kong, I don't spend money on eating and drinking, you give me half a year's double salary or something, and it's useless for me, so I choose to settle the bill at the end of the year." Erdanzi, what about you? ”

"Me too." Li Tiehan smiled innocently, rubbed his nose with his surname, and said: "I've been following Xiaoxiao for so long, this grandson is always right, and this time I'm the same!" ”

"Okay, let's settle it then."

"What about Xu Yunjian? How did he choose? Cao Xun asked curiously.

"I haven't asked him yet."

******************************************

A day later, Wei Laicai walked into the door of the hot pot restaurant again, and there were two men with him. The front one was a little half-bowed, revealing a smooth and broad forehead, and its bright eyes were purring and turning, which showed that he had a lot of thoughts; The latter one looked a little strange to everyone, with his black hair curling up, high nose and sunken eyes, and unusually maroon eyes, which did not look like a pure Han Chinese.

Lu Li was a little disappointed in his heart, there were only three people including Wei Laicai, this is a little too little, right? Thinking like this in his heart, he took a few steps, "Uncle Cai." ”

"Hey, Lu Sheng." Wei Laicai introduced them with a smile, "These two are my old friends and peers, this is Yan Guoen from Enji, and this is Huang Zhengshan from Shanji." Just call them Grace and Mountain. This is Mr. Lu, whom I told you. ”

Shan Ji is the man who bowed to the top, and shook hands with Lu Li very politely, "I have heard Cai Ji talk about Mr. Lu many times, recently, thanks to you for taking care of a lot, I hope to be able to give more help to my little brother?" ”

Lu Li, who is usually so hard, also laughed at his words, "You are too polite. I'm so much younger than you......"

"It's not a matter of size, the so-called learning is not in order, and the master is the teacher! Hehe...... "Shan Ji said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, let's sit down and talk?" ”

"Of course, of course." Wei Laicai and the others came early, and there were no customers in the store, so they found an empty table and sat down.

Wei Laicai took out a cigarette, sent it to himself and his companions, and introduced: "Lu Sheng, one of Shan Ji and En Ji is in charge of Qilintian, and the other is in charge of the distribution of fresh vegetables in Xiao Penglai Restaurant, these two restaurants are also very famous in Hong Kong. The demand for vegetables is more than three tons every day. ”

Lu Li listened to it, and did not express his opinion easily, Wei Laicai swallowed dryly, Lu Li did not answer, he fell into a situation where he had nothing to say again, and the store was awkwardly silent, "Oh......, I'm sorry." Lu Li smiled to himself and pushed the ashtray in front of Wei Laicai, "Uncle Cai, I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted." ”

"Nothing, nothing."

"Then, Brother Shan, Brother En," Lu Li met with the other party for the first time, and it was not good to directly address the other party in that very ordinary tone, so he adopted a compromise method, "Cai Ji has already told the two of you about the situation. Whether or not this collaboration will be successful, I am very grateful to both of you. ”

"You're welcome, Lu Sheng." Enji said that although he does not look like Chinese, he speaks with a standard Hong Kong accent, and the words are round: "Cai Ji is our friend, this time he has the opportunity to make a fortune, I want to promote the two of us, it can be regarded as one hand to support the two families, I want to thank him, or thank him." ”

Shan Ji also said: "Mr. Lu, what about the situation, Cai Ji has already told us, but we haven't seen anything at all. In our line of work, the most feared thing is that the goods are not right, if that is the case, the loss of money is still a trivial matter, and the name is broken, and the matter will be big! ”

"I understand, I absolutely understand this. If we really cooperate in the future, we must let you see things with your own eyes, and then take out real money, and everyone will cooperate to make a fortune. He said: "I think, you two are also old people in this industry, and the quality of the dishes is impossible to hide from the eyes of the two of you." Therefore, there is no need to mention those self-selling and boasting words. Wait for it, after the things arrive at the port, you inspect the goods on the spot, think it's OK, then everything is OK, if you think it's not good, just treat me to a treat, please two of you to Pengcheng for a trip, how about it? ”

Shan Ji and En Ji nodded at the same time, no wonder Cai Ji said good things about this young man in front of him, and he was really a bachelor! If he really bragged about how proficient he was, how deep his connections were, and how exquisite the quality of the dishes were, then he would have fallen into disgrace - how can you make others believe you if you brag about it?

"Then, Mr. Lu, when will we see something?"

"The current situation has changed a little, is ......it like this," Lu Li saw Wei Laicai's face tightened, and hurriedly said: "Brother Shan, Brother En, I want to ask the two of you, if I open up the supply, how much can you eat?" I mean, the maximum accommodating case? ”

"Well, three and a half tons a day."

Enji's answer was similar, Lu Li calculated, the three of them together, it was only more than ten tons, that is, about a quarter of the total, "Brother Shan, Brother En, Caiji, I won't hide it from you, these things you can eat are still too little and too little for me." Of course, I'm not saying that you won't do your business, but if more dishes are transported, if you can't find a way to sell them, you can put them in the warehouse for a while, but they will rot and spoil eventually, and if that's the case, I might as well not do it! ”

The three of them looked at each other, and Enji spoke on behalf of everyone and asked, "Mr. Lu, I want to know, how many tons can you transport every day?" ”

"It won't be less than 40 tons."

"Well, I'll think of a way, and you can listen to it, okay?" Enji said: "I haven't seen anything now, so I don't need to talk nonsense." If the quality we see is indeed as good as you and Cai Ji say, I will take the rest! ”

Everyone was stunned. Lu Li was surprised and delighted, "Enji, are you serious?" ”

"I never joke about money." Enji said. "I have two conditions, though."

"So, you say?"

"You are responsible for solving the problem of transportation; In addition, if I find that the quality of the shipped product is not as good as what I saw, you will have to compensate me for all my losses. ”

Lu Li nodded and shook his head, "I agree with the second one, but the matter of transportation, Enji, I can only guarantee the quality of the vegetables you see in Pengcheng, if there is any problem with the transportation, I don't care." Moreover, the cost of freight, the two of us have to share it equally. ”

Enji was really a little strange, compared to the conditions he agreed, transportation was only a small and small part of the expenditure, how could he ...... How do you buy and return pearls? But as a businessman, fighting for interests is the surname of heaven, and he almost unthinkingly and instinctively answered, "I only give forty percent." ”

"No, it must be divided."

Enji thought about it for a while, "Yes, if you divide it evenly, you will divide it evenly." ”

“ok！” Cai Ji held a cigarette at the corner of his mouth and slapped his hands, "Lu Sheng, when can we go to Pengcheng?" ”

"Wait a few days, I'll be home in the near future, a month at most, and I'll be back. At that time, the preparations for the transportation of materials in Pengcheng should be completed, and when the time comes, we will go over and take a look, if we can, we will determine the transportation matter, and we will start formal cooperation. ”

"Well, well, we'll get back to your news."

After sending Wei Laicai away, Lu Li looked back and smiled, "Cao Xun, Xu Yunjian, Danzi, pack up, we're ready to go home!" (To be continued.) )
