1996 is the Year of the Rat, and it is also the natal year of Gan Ruolan. She prepared red socks, red underwear and a red belt for herself early, and when Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, she draped her whole body.

Zhuang Zhuang is only more than five months old, and he can't sit up on his own, but he can already roll around on the bed skillfully, making Geng Huizhong and his wife laugh.

Gan Ruolan saw that her in-laws were made to laugh by the child for no reason, and couldn't help but complain to her husband, "What's wrong with your parents? Isn't it just the child turning over? What's so funny? Why do you stop laughing?"

"You don't understand that, do you?" Geng Wenyang smiled, "This is called next-generation relatives. Don't look at our son just turning over, my parents are very happy and proud when they see it. Because this is their own grandson, a continuation of their bloodline. So it's sometimes a blessing for the elderly to help look after the children, because the children bring them joy and slow down aging."

"When we have grandchildren, it will be like this." Geng Wenyang sighed, "At that time, you will understand."

"You haven't raised a grandson, how do you know so much?" Gan Ruolan said angrily, "When our son has a child, I won't be so stupid."

Geng Wenyang said, "Don't be hard-mouthed, I'll see if you smirk or not."

After Chinese New Year's Eve, it was the first day of the new year, and Geng Wenyang drove a brand-new Lincoln Continental car to visit relatives and friends with his parents, wife and children.

In the afternoon of the same day, he came to pay New Year's greetings to Master as he had done in previous years. After accompanying the master and a group of senior brothers to boast about the sea for a while, he dragged Zheng Baisheng to his new home in the municipal dormitory compound.

Most of the relatives did not know the address of the new home, so it was difficult for Zheng Baisheng to have a quiet year.

When the two brothers came to the house, Zhang Yuying, who was alone at home, hurriedly greeted, "Ah! Wen Yang is here, sit down quickly!"

Geng Wenyang bowed to her for a year and said, "Sister-in-law, this year can be regarded as leisure."

Zhang Yuying smiled, "Yes! Bai Sheng is no longer the county magistrate, and his relatives will not come to him, so I will take a break."

Ordinary people only know that the county magistrate is a powerful official, but the director of the municipal development planning committee does not know what he does, and he may not be as big as the county magistrate anyway. When the official is small, the power is small, and when there is no light, people are naturally reluctant to come.

Seeing that the children were not at home, Geng Wenyang said with concern, "Haoran and Wenwen are not at home?"

Zheng Haoran is the son of Zheng Baisheng and is in his third year at Binhai University this year. Zheng Wen is his daughter, who is in her third year of high school this year.

"They all went out with their classmates." Zhang Yuying brought him a cup of hot tea and said, "Wen Yang, Haoran will graduate next year. If he can't find a suitable job, can he go to you?"

"No problem." Geng Wenyang said generously, "Isn't this a matter of my sister-in-law's words? I'll make sure I'll make it!"

"But......" Geng Wenyang said, "Since Haoran is studying in the provincial capital, it is best to stay in the provincial capital, after all, the provincial city is still much more prosperous than ours."

"We also want him to stay in the provincial capital." Zheng Baisheng took over the conversation and said, "The key is that he has to have that ability."

"I remember that in June next year, Binhai Province will open the civil service examination for the first time, and fresh graduates will be allowed to apply. If Zheng Haoran is interested, you can sign up for a try."

However, he can't say this news now, otherwise such an important personnel policy has not been discussed and discussed by the leaders before he knows it, and it is not a big joke in the world?

It is estimated that even if he tells Zheng Baisheng, people have to suspect that his little junior brother has the superpower of predicting the future, otherwise how can he know about things that have not yet been finalized?

After a few pleasantries, Zheng Baisheng said bluntly: "Wen Yang, now that state-owned enterprises are generally in difficulty, and some factories can't even pay wages, do you have any good suggestions?"

Geng Wenyang smiled, "Senior brother, you think too highly of me. I'm just a private business owner, and I don't know much about state-owned enterprises, so I can't help you."

"You kid still come with me like this?" Zheng Baisheng couldn't help but vomit when he believed what he said

"When I went to the county before, didn't you have a lot of ideas? Why are you humble now?".

Geng Wenyang complained bitterly: "Senior brother, I didn't lie to you, I really don't understand the affairs of those big enterprises! If you ask how to help those laid-off workers in the grain store get re-employed, I can still talk about it, and I really don't understand the rest."

"Oh?" Zheng Baisheng was quite interested and said, "If you can help settle those people in the grain store, I will give you a first credit."

"Those people in the grain store are easy to arrange." Geng Wenyang said unashamedly: "As the old saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the water to eat the water. These workers rely on the Food Bureau, and of course they have to find food from the grain and oil system."

"Tell me, how do you eat it?" Zheng Baisheng heard that he had a specific idea, and his eyes immediately widened.

Geng Wenyang recalled the countless classic success cases in later generations, and said unhurriedly: "As far as I know, there are about twenty or thirty grain stores and more than 300 employees in the entire Baicheng District."

Zheng Baisheng was stunned and said, "Are there so many? I really don't remember the exact number."

"I got this number from Liu Qing's father, so I shouldn't be wrong." Geng continued, "These grain stores are located all over the streets of the city, and they cover the allotted area."

He paused and said, "I think that since the grain store originally belonged to the grain and oil system, even if it is reformed, it must take advantage of this favorable condition."

Zheng Baisheng could hear the divine words: "How do you use it?"

"Turn the grain store into a fast food restaurant." Geng Wenyang's words woke up from his dream: "All the employees have changed to fast food restaurant employees on the spot. And these fast food restaurants are not going their own way, they're going to be combined into a chain of fast food."

"Fast food chains?" Zheng Baisheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this new word.

"Yes!" Geng Wenyang explained: "For example, if this fast-food restaurant chain is called Wenyang Fast Food, then all the grain stores will be its subordinate chain branches after the transformation. All raw materials such as grain, oil and other raw materials are distributed by the main store, and the types of cooked dishes and production standards are also set by the main store."

Geng Wenyang's concept of chain unified distribution is too advanced, and Zheng Baisheng can't understand it for a while.

Geng Wenyang continued: "I have a vocational and technical school in Haixi County, which has a cooking major, and the grain store workers can go there to learn cooking skills, and the tuition fee is given the greatest discount."

Zheng Baisheng pondered for a long time before he said, "Wen Yang, if you want to invest in this interlocking fast food restaurant, are you willing?"

Geng Wenyang smiled bitterly and said, "Senior brother, the catering industry is too energy-consuming, and I'm not interested in doing that now."

"Oh?" Zheng Baisheng's mind turned, and he secretly said in his heart: "I'll communicate with the comrades of the Food Bureau first. If they think this plan is feasible, they still have to find Wen Yang to invest in the general manager to rest assured."
