229. Expand operations
The journey went smoothly and without any trouble.
Ling Li and Zhu Fatzi drove the car, followed the several buses that came out of Beiliang, and returned to Qinfu City in seven days.
After settling down with her mother, Ling Li went back to school first.
After entering the school gate, I went to Mr. Zhong's laboratory first and handed over this task first.
The research institute of the Formation Academy has a research institute specializing in the development of chips, and humanity is now speeding up the recovery of pre-cataclysmic civilization. A holiday has passed, and it seems that home computers are slowly starting to catch on.
Now the scientific and technological level of the Red Flame Continent has probably returned to the level of the mid-to-late nineties of the Blue Star.
After paying the required four light source spars with a purity of ninety six percent, Ling Li received a salary of two million, and then visited the product booth of the Computer Research Institute with great interest, and played a game similar to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" with great interest for a while. Originally, Ling Li was going to buy a computer and a printer, but when he asked the price, a desktop home computer similar to the 586 model cost more than 100,000 yuan, and a printer cost more than 10,000 yuan.
After thinking about it, Ling Li still gave up this plan.
Now it's not that he's not bad, it's not worth it. With the current recovery rate of the Eastern Regions Federation's technological level, it will take about another five or six years to recover to the technology of the smart machine era.
Let's wait a little longer.
Coming out of the research institute, Ling Li went directly to the school's logistics department.
At the exchange office, he exchanged most of his credits for various medicinal herbs and refining materials.
In the frozen realm of Wild Horse Mountain, because of his considerable contribution, the school and the Ministry of Education rewarded a total of 6,000 contribution points, which made his accumulated contribution points return to more than 10,000 points again.
There were a few medicinal materials used by demon cultivators that were not expensive to exchange, but when Ling Li was exchanging these medicinal materials, the teacher in charge looked at him a few more times.
Ling Li didn't think much about it, and left in a hurry after receiving a large pile of medicinal materials that had been exchanged.
After he left, the teacher who was in charge of exchanging medicinal materials for him also left in a hurry, and after returning to the office, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed a string of numbers, "Hey, is it confidential?" Just now, there was a student named Ling Li who exchanged several materials for demon cultivation, and I wonder if he and the demon clan had any deal in private...... That's right, the student number of the Formation Academy is 386xxxx2658."
Ling Li didn't expect that he had already caused trouble by exchanging medicinal herbs by himself.
The business of the "Jianghu family" is slowly improving, after all, the dishes and several staple foods provided by the restaurant are somewhat helpful for the cultivation of martial artists. Cultivators earn a lot of money, and everyone gravitates for anything that can improve their strength. The cultivation of martial artists is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and sometimes after reaching a certain realm, it is too difficult to take a step forward.
Fan Xiaopang didn't go home this winter, he has been taking care of the business in the restaurant, and he didn't have a holiday during the Chinese New Year.
In the past month or so, the "Jianghu family" has gradually accumulated some reputation among the students in the university town, and can make a profit of more than 100,000 yuan per month, although it is not much, it is always a good start.
I believe that after the start of school, the business of the hotel will become better and better.
After coming out of school, Ling Li returned to the hotel, and Zhu Fatzi had already come over and was visiting the kitchen.
Seeing Ling Li coming, the three of them went up to the office on the fourth floor together.
Ling Li made a set of tea mounds carved out of the roots of the Huanghuali tree in his office.
If it is on the Blue Star, such a large solid wood tea dun is worth old money, but unfortunately on the Chiyan Continent, due to the recovery of the source qi, this Huanghuali tree can actually grow into a large number of people hugging each other, and this thing is also normal.
"Hey, you know how to make tea?" Zhu Fatzi was a little surprised.
"I'll have a lot of stuff, what's so strange about that." Ling Li skillfully fiddled with a set of purple sand tea sets in his hand, "Come and taste it, authentic Juyan tea!" ”
Fan Xiaopang drank the tea soup in the small teacup in one gulp, "I heard that there was coffee before the catastrophe, but unfortunately now that the traffic is cut off, the source of that thing has been cut off, and only a small part of the products from Nanyang are too expensive." ”
"There's nothing good about that." Ling Li said, "It's better to drink tea and enjoy it." ”
"It's like you've drunk it." Zhu Fatzi scolded him.
Ling Li rolled his eyes, you said, Lao Tzu really drank it, even if you say it, you don't believe it!
Or forget it......
"I did the math, our business is not bad, I mean I want to expand the scale, how about opening a few chain stores in the city?" Fan Xiaopang said while drinking tea.
"I think it's better to be on the safe side, personnel training is a problem." Ling Li thought for a while and said.
"It's just to add condiments to it, and the master is easy to find after it's done, but it's really not good, I and Xiaopang's hotel can draw some people to come over." Zhu Fatzi is obviously very interested in doing business, and is in favor of expanding the scale now.
Ling Li shrugged: "You can just do it, I'm only responsible for making condiments." "He doesn't care now, he has billions of yuan crystals in his hand, and he doesn't care so much about making money. In fact, doing business is quite energy-consuming, and you have to manage people, and with this idle effort, it's not good to slaughter a few more strange beasts?!
However, the two fat men seem to have a lot of interest in doing business.
It's also a sense of accomplishment.
They have seen a lot of geniuses, and they don't have so much confidence in martial arts cultivation, so they can only make up for it in other aspects.
"This university is the place where cultivators are most concentrated, and in addition to ours, there are also two places where universities are more concentrated, Beilin District and Yuying Road. I thought about it, and we should take advantage of these places as soon as possible. Fan Xiaopang seems to have been thinking about this matter all the time, and he has a comprehensive plan.
"Yes, it's better to buy the store, otherwise, the cost of renting is too high, and sometimes it is easy to have problems when it comes to business." Ling Li just gave a suggestion.
"How's it going out of town? There are several state schools that are also quite a few. Zhu Fatzi said.
"The field will take the way of joining, and we only sell condiments." Ling Li said that he carefully explained the matter of the franchise store to the two of them, but the two of them listened to it with their eyes lit up, and they seemed to see a new way to make money.
Next, the three of them talked about some details of market expansion, and made plans to open two more chain stores.
As for the specific operation, the two fat men are in charge, Ling Li is only responsible for making "condiments", and Ling Li does not want to be responsible for the specific management.
When the time comes, just pay for the shares.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Ling Li said that he was going home for dinner.
"Why don't you invite the old lady to the hotel?" Zhu Fatzi asked.
"I called, but the two old ladies didn't want to come out, saying that it was a waste of money." Ling Li smiled helplessly and said.
As soon as the mother and grandmother came, the originally cold townhouse suddenly became warm and vibrant, and it felt quite memorable......
