In September, after the autumn equinox, the white dew arrived, the wild geese came, and the air was filled with a slight coolness at some point.

Su Zelin sat in Yang Fen's president's office, drinking kung fu tea leisurely with Brother Yang Kang Baohong.

The afternoon sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling glass, giving you a sense of tranquility.

Looking at a report on the table, the Big Three were all in a good mood.

It's a harvest season, and it's the same for the new century.

The number of stores in the new century has exceeded 10,000!

This is a milestone achievement!

The most impressive number of stores are in developed provinces or municipalities directly under the central government, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Luzhou, Yanjing, eastern Guangdong, etc., after all, these regions have strong consumption power.

Among them, the prefectures and cities with many colleges and universities have made important contributions, after all, at the beginning of the new century, they have made a name for themselves from universities, and then gradually expanded their territory to urban areas.

Although the performance of the city has long since surpassed the former, the company on the university market will definitely not give up.

After all, this group of young people who are about to enter the society will also be a very important consumer force in the future, and they will be very fruitful in the future by winning their loyalty through service and word of mouth when they are in college.

Therefore, instead of being despised by the decline of the university market, the company pays more attention to it, and the activities of each school store are always the most.

The speed of the increase in stores is really beyond Su Zelin's expectations, you must know that at the time of the Spring Festival Gala, there were only more than 2,000 stores in the new century, but they quadrupled in just half a year, which is a bit scary.

Originally, the bastard expected to wait until next year to achieve the goal of breaking 10,000 stores.

Although the company pays attention to the efficiency of work, the direct store is open non-stop, but it is absolutely impossible to complete this task by relying on the direct store alone, and the franchise store has become the biggest contributor to this milestone.

Su Zelin underestimated the power of the Spring Festival Gala, and the exclusive sponsorship plan he personally designed for the red envelope was unprecedentedly successful, and the promotion of the company's reputation far exceeded that of any other brand in the past, which also won the favor and trust of many investors, and a large number of franchise applications can be received every day.

Then the implementation of the "Thousand Counties Plan" was launched, and the number of stores exceeded five figures.

The sharp increase in stores, the financial statements of the previous year, the company's performance and profit improvement are not a problem.

After all, before October last year, the territory of the new century was only Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Luzhou, but now stores have blossomed everywhere in every province and city in the country, and even in county seats.

"According to the development speed of this new store, there is no surprise that we will be able to do the township market next year!"

Brother Xiao Yang's eyebrows fluttered.

The first year is Lin'an university market, the second year is Lin'an market, the third year is the provincial market, the fourth year is the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Lu region market, and the fifth year is the national market......

At the beginning, when he partnered with Su Zelin, Brother Xiao Yang was surprised by Su Zelin's super fast pace, feeling that it was too fast, unstable, and even a little worried, but gradually he also got used to this rhythm, and if he slowed down, he felt that he was at a loss.

Kang Baohong was also excited.

When he opened his first Caiyuan store, he never dreamed that the new century would have more than 10,000 stores in five years!

It's nothing short of a miracle!

"There are now 18,765 towns in our country, and if every town has a New Century store, it should be no problem for us to have more than 30,000 stores!"

Kang Baohong looks forward to the future excitedly.

Referring to this topic, the three of them chatted about the preliminary ideas of the town-level market by the way.

Although it's early, it's always good to plan ahead.

After talking about business, Kang Baohong said again: "Mr. Yang, Su Zong, if you are free tomorrow night, come to my side for a meal." ”

"Oh, it's renovated, ready to move into your new home?"

Yang Fen asked casually.

The "dormitory" in Kang Baohong's mouth naturally refers to the staff apartment, not the house he bought outside.

The staff apartments have already been delivered, and many of the workers who have obtained places and completed the loan procedures have begun to renovate, and during this time, they have heard about who has entered the new house.

"Well, I won't have a feast this time, just have a meal with my family and my best friends."

This is his second house, and Kang Baohong does not have the joy of his dream of first interning a house, and it is not difficult for him to buy a suite now.

"Okay, that has to happen!"

Su Zelin nodded: "I'm late, but it's about the same next month, hehe." ”

The bastard is not in a hurry to decorate the house, although he is still living in a rented house, but there are good friends and little swallows over there, and the two young couples who have known each other since high school usually have a meal once in a while.

Brother Xiao Yang is not in a hurry, he and Kang Baohong have bought a house outside, and the staff apartment is mainly convenient for resting at noon after moving into the new headquarters, but now it is still in the Dingsheng Building, a little far away from the new headquarters, even if it is renovated, it will not go to live for the time being, it is better to go home closer.

"Bring your daughter-in-law, be lively!"

Kang Baohong told again.

The seemingly unintentional sentence made Su Zelin's heart move: "Chu Jie will also come over when the time comes, right, you have become?" ”

"Well, it's done."

Kang Baohong grinned, a little embarrassed: "Just a few days ago, she promised to be my girlfriend." ”

"Yo, congratulations, isn't that a double happiness!"

Brother Xiao Yang patted Kang Baohong on the shoulder, happy for him.

"Hehe, it's okay."

Kang Bao Hongle hehe.

Kang Yulian asked him to go on a blind date, in fact, this kid was still a little resistant, and he was thinking about doing business, but he didn't expect to look at the right eye and feel that the woman was really good, and she was more energetic to work after falling in love, Kang Baohong was secretly glad that he listened to Su Zelin's words at the time, otherwise he would miss a good daughter-in-law.

In the process of his pursuit of Chu Jie, the "old Jianghu" Su Zelin also came up with a lot of ideas, so that the other party nodded so quickly to be his girlfriend.

After getting off work the next day, Su Zelin drove with Qin Shiqing to Building A of the staff apartment building of the new headquarters in Binjiang District.

The owner of this apartment house is either the manager of the company's various departments, the director in charge or his deputy, or an important position such as an engineer, each unit has one ladder and three households, and Yang Fen, Su Zelin and Kang Baohong's house is located on the top floor of the same unit, which is a neighbor.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong......"

The doorbell rang a few times, and it was Kang Baohong who came out to open the door.

"Mr. Su, Qin Shiqing, you are here!"

"Mr. Kang, the new home is festive, the lucky stars are shining, everything is going well!"

Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing each handed over a big red envelope, familiar with belonging, and people are indispensable.

"Thank you, I'm very happy to be able to appreciate my face, so polite, please come in!"

Having said that, Kang Baohong still took the red envelope, after all, this is a heart and blessing.

Changing into slippers, the two followed him into the living room.

A total of more than 170 square meters of houses, two living rooms and five bedrooms, Chinese decoration, almost all of them are wooden furniture, huanghuali sofa, red sandalwood coffee table, mahogany dining table and TV cabinet......

Su Zelin still has a lot of research on precious solid wood furniture, and he had a suite in his previous life that was also decorated in Chinese style, and almost got the most expensive solid wood in the world.

The first house that Kang Baohong bought was a European-style decoration, and at that time, this guy still had a bit of a nouveau riche mentality, and felt that the first in the European-style world was a symbol of local tyrants.

However, with the rise of the new century and the improvement of their own status, they have come into contact with more and more big bosses, and they have found that European style is no longer so popular in this group in the 21st century, but traditional Chinese style is more popular.

For example, when drinking tea in a boss's office, the other party will say what kind of wood this coffee table is, and how many Ws it gets, which sounds very forced.

Then other bosses also echoed and talked eloquently, such as their own wooden sofas, dining tables, beds or coffee tables have to be many Ws.

At this time, Kang Baohong was very depressed, because he couldn't talk about it.

His house is decorated in a European style, and it is indeed not that expensive furniture.

Over time, under the influence, Kang Baohong's taste gradually changed, and he began to be more obsessed with Chinese and solid wood furniture, so he just took advantage of the decoration of the staff apartment to meet his interests.

However, in Su Zelin's opinion, he can only be regarded as a beginner player at best.

At a glance, the bastard can judge that the material quality of these wooden furniture can only be regarded as average.

That set of sofas is more expensive, and it may get ten W at the current domestic market price.

Ordinary people may think that a sofa of 100,000 yuan is already a sky-high price, but it is a fart in the eyes of senior players in the industry.

Taking ebony as an example, the high-quality ebony can be sold for more than 10 million tons per ton in later generations alone, while the ordinary one is only tens of thousands of tons.

Therefore, even if it is the same kind of solid wood furniture, the price is very different.

If you have a slightly weaker financial resources, you can't afford to play high-end.

Kang Baohong's current financial resources do not allow him to be a high-end player, although he is already a billionaire in terms of shares.

But after all, his worth is only his worth, and his main savings come from the high salary of the general manager and the dividends of minority shareholders in the past few years, especially in the last year or two.

The accumulation of wealth in the new century is like a snowball, which is relatively small at the beginning, and the more it rolls, the company's profits and shareholders' dividends also break through the peak again and again with the development of the market and the increase in the number of stores.

This trend of rapid growth will continue until the layout of the town-level market is over, and the channel network of 30,000 stores across the country is completely completed, and it will gradually stabilize.

There may be some growth in the future, but it will definitely not be the same as before.

At that time, Kang Baohong's income can be used as a high-end solid wood furniture player.

"Mr. Su!"

Su Zelin appeared, and an old man sitting on the sofa greeted him.

He was thin and short, slightly hunchbacked, with dark skin, wrinkles engraved on his forehead, white temples, sparse stubble mixed with silver threads, calloused hands like rough pine bark, and traces of time all over his body, looking like he had suffered a lot when he was young.

Kang Lixiang, Kang Baohong's father.

The two have met.

When Kang Baohong bought his first house and moved out.

Rural people attach great importance to the ritual of moving to a new house, and their families naturally have to participate, so Kang Baohong ran back to pick up his parents.

In fact, the two elders have long wanted to come to Lin'an to see their son, but they have no chance to study when they are young, lack of culture, are illiterate, and don't even know how to take the train, so they have never succeeded.

Not long after their son's new house moved, they went back again, although Kang Baohong had always kept him, and let the two elders consider moving in.

However, they all said that they were not used to living in the city, and they didn't know anyone, and they were idle all day long, and it was better to stay in their hometown, so they didn't stay in the end.

Kang Baohong has never dared to fall in love with a leader or boss with a good family background before, also considering his family situation, for fear that the woman will dislike it.

The first blind date with Chu Jie, he had a showdown.

If you can't even accept it with your own family, it's a waste of time.

Fortunately, although Chu Jie is the daughter of the leader, she has no dislike for it, and also said that her father, who is the leader of the Food and Drug Administration, was also from the countryside before, and because of this, Kang Baohong quickly developed a good impression of this girl, and later he frequently dated her and developed into a girlfriend.

"Mr. Su, we Baohong have been taken care of by you!"

The woman beside Kang Lishen also said respectfully.

This is Kang Baohong's old mother Miao Guilan.

The two elders knew that Su Zelin was actually a noble man who made his son's career, so they had special respect for him.

Su Zelin hurriedly said: "Comber, aunt, you have tormented me like this, I am the same generation as Baohong, just call me Xiao Su!" ”

After a few pleasantries, they took their seats.

There were also two middle-aged men in their forties and fifties, a man and a woman, and a young woman.

Needless to say, the woman is Kang Baohong's girlfriend Chu Jie.

It's not very tall, it's a small and delicate type, with a round face, very blessed facial features, low eyebrows, soft and soft-spoken, and she doesn't look like a tigress.

As for the middle-aged man and woman, the man is Chu Jie's father, Chu Junyi, the leader of the Lin'an Food and Drug Administration, and Dai Chuangxing's classmate, it is because of this relationship that Kang Baohong has the opportunity to go on a blind date with Chu Jie.

The woman is naturally her lover, Chu Jie's mother.

Because they met on a blind date, and the woman's father is also his uncle's classmate, although the relationship has just been established not long ago, but this time Kang Baohong still invited the two elders of the Chu family, which can be regarded as taking this opportunity to meet his parents, and at the same time said that he took this relationship very seriously.

Su Zelin has a very wide network of contacts in Lin'an, and he knows a lot of leaders of the government and other government agencies and departments, but he has never met this number one, after all, this department has no intersection with the business of the new century.

No matter what, I still exchanged pleasantries with the other party, after all, he is Vice Dean Dai's classmate, and he is likely to become Kang Baohong's father-in-law and mother-in-law in the future.

After a short time, Brother Xiao Yang and Xiao Yang's sister-in-law also came, and Brother Xiao Yang went to pick up his daughter-in-law first after work, so Su Zelin and the two were a little late.

The last guests to arrive were Dai Chong Hing and Kang Yulian.

This time to move to a new home, in addition to his own family, Kang Baohong invited his girlfriend's family, as well as Su Zelin and Xiao Yang, as well as Vice President Dai and his wife, who are the closest people now and the closest in the future.

As soon as Kang Yulian arrived, her eyes fell on Qin Shiqing beside Su Zelin.

If it's not surprising, this girl should be Xiao Su's childhood sweetheart.

is such a handsome little girl, no wonder she introduced him to a blind date and was politely refused.

She and Xiao Su are indeed talented and beautiful, and they are a natural pair!

"Shiqing, this is Dean Dai of the Finance Institute and her lover Aunt Kang, and also Kang Baohong's uncle and aunt, I have to take care of it when I was studying, and I often go to their house to eat after graduation."

"This my girlfriend, Qin Shiqing, also works in the new century!"

Su Zelin briefly introduced the two sides.

"Dean Dai, Aunt Kang, hello!"

Qin Shiqing greeted politely.

She has a gentle and demure personality, and her soft language is good, and it is easy to win the favor of others.

Vice Dean Dai nodded at her slightly, while Kang Yulian smiled and said, "Hehe, girl, I heard that you and Xiao Su are still neighbors, and you've known each other since you were young, right?" ”

"Yes, Auntie, Zelin and I are not only neighbors, but also classmates from elementary school to high school."

Qin Shiqing said with a smile.

"This is fate, you are really a match!"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Although it was a bit regrettable that she couldn't be Su Zelin's matchmaker, after seeing Qin Shiqing, Kang Yulian realized that the girls she planned to introduce before were really not as good as others.

Even if she is a leader with good conditions, her appearance, temperament and conversation have been thrown off a few streets.

asked a few words casually, and learned that she was still a high-achieving student who graduated from Zhejiang University, and Kang Yulian was completely relieved that her matchmaking was not done.

The vice president's wife has almost regarded Su Zelin as a godson all these years, and naturally hopes that he can find a good daughter-in-law.

Qin Shiqing not only has outstanding appearance and temperament, but also looks very good, belongs to the type of virtuous and virtuous, loves the house and Wu, and the more she looks at Qin Shiqing, the more she likes it, and she talks to her for a long time, and also lets her have time to come to her house for dinner with Su Zelin in the future.

After eating a meal, Su Zelin could see that Chu Jie's character was really good, he had a good temper and was very patient, he was diligent in his hands and feet, he would help with housework, and he was also very good to the two elders of the Kang family, who were born in the countryside and were a little old-fashioned, not like they were pretending.

It seems that Baohong has found a good daughter-in-law!

Chu Junyi is also very satisfied with Kang Baohong.

He is also from the grassroots, so his family background is not very important.

Chu Jie's mother has to be picky, but Kang Baohong is the general manager and shareholder of New Century no matter what, and this identity is more than enough to be worthy of her own daughter, so she has no opinion on her prospective son-in-law.

As for the two elders of the Kang family, not to mention Chu Jie, even if Kang Baohong has made a fortune, this time is different from the past, but they still feel that their son can find a leader in the provincial capital.

After having dinner at Kang Baohong's house and drinking tea, Su Zelin and Brother Xiao Yang said goodbye.

After all, he is just a partner and friend, not his family, and it is difficult for others to talk about family affairs when they stay.

On the way back to the rental house, Qin Shiqing said happily: "Xiao Linzi, Aunt Kang said tonight that we are a pair made in heaven, destined by God!" ”

"What kind of fate, it's not that someone doesn't read about Qingbei, but he reported to Zhejiang University and followed his brother forever...... Ouch. ”

Before he finished speaking, he was pinched by Qin Shiqing on the soft flesh of his waist.

The girl's apricot eyes widened, and she said angrily: "What kind of ghost is not gone, that is a beautiful woman found out that someone has a crush on me, and after graduating from high school, she sold all the books, but only left me to make a handmade cover for him. ”

"Ah, did you find it?"

Su Zelin was a little embarrassed.

Qin Shiqing really didn't mention this matter herself.

It should have been discovered when she was tidying up her drawers, because the Queen Mother often asked Qin Shiqing to help clean up things.

"Cut, can you hide that little bit of your mind from this beauty's fiery eyes?"

Qin Shiqing looked disdainful, and then pretended to be fierce and said: "Now that it's in hand, I'm starting to dislike this beauty, right!" ”

The strength of his hands increased as he spoke.

The bastard hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Daughter-in-law, don't pinch it, if you pinch it again, it will be broken!"

"I'm going to pinch it, so that you dare to dislike me, say that I'm ghostly, hum!"

"How can I have, just kidding, such a good daughter-in-law, how can I dislike it, I won't let go of it even if I die!"

"That's pretty much it!"

“……”

There was a flirtatious sound in the car, which was the sour smell of love.
