Chapter 455: Honest Confession
Li Yunhai picked up Xie Yan and then took her to Zhongshan Road.
Triangle Garden, the night market street of Huangxing Road, and the area of Xiahe Street have always been the bustling center of Xizhou City. With the rise of Lower River Street, citizens prefer to shop there. But the market on this side of Triangle Garden hasn't decayed yet.
Li Yunhai and Xie Yanran came to the newly opened Hunan restaurant.
Xie Yanran said that the location by the window is good, and you can see the street scenery outside.
The two sat down, Li Yunhai asked her to order, and said that she had eaten.
Xie Yanran sighed: "Mr. Li, have you eaten?" Then I don't need to eat a big meal by myself, I just eat a bowl of rice noodles. β
Li Yunhai said it's okay, I'll watch you eat.
Xie Yanran ordered two dishes.
At this time, a small car outside stopped at the entrance of the triangle garden opposite.
Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan got out of the car.
Shen Xiulan suddenly saw Li Yunhai in the restaurant here.
"Lin Zhi, look, that's a sea of clouds, right? Who is he with? Shen Xiulan pointed to the Hunan restaurant and asked.
"It's him." Lin Zhi also saw it and was slightly stunned.
Shen Xiulan asked, "Didn't you say that he came out after eating at home?" How can there be socialization again? β
"I don't know." Lin Zhi's eyes stared at Xie Yanran.
Although I only saw Xie Yanran's side face, I could also see that she was young and beautiful, full of youthful vitality, and was talking and laughing with Li Yunhai.
"Would you like to say hello?" Shen Xiulan asked.
Lin Zhi shook his head and said, "Leave him alone, let's go shopping." Let's go! β
She took Shen Xiulan's hand and walked into the triangle garden, looking back at Li Yunhai and Xie Yanran by the window from time to time.
Li Yunhai didn't know about this.
After eating, Xie Yanran smiled and said, "Shall we go shopping?" β
"Are you going to buy anything?" Li Yunhai asked.
"No need to buy it."
"Let's go back to the hotel!"
"Did you miss me?"
"Huh!"
"Let's go, go back to the hotel."
As soon as their car left, Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan bought things and came out, and also drove away to go shopping on the night market street.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Yunhai returned home.
Lin Zhi had already gone home and coaxed the child to sleep.
Li Yunhai took a shower and came out and saw Lin Zhi lying on his bed.
"How did you talk to Professor Ni tonight?" Lin Zhi asked with a smile.
Li Yunhai said: "I didn't go to Professor Ni, I happened to meet a friend when I went out, and I went to chat with her." β
"What friend? Male or female? Lin Zhi asked, his face very calm.
Li Yunhai smiled: "It's a woman." β
"She's not from our company, is she?"
"It's not."
"And how did you meet? How did it develop into a friendship? β
"Are you checking on me?"
"Just ask, can't you ask?"
"Oh, in fact, she is a friend of Liu Jie, and we have drunk together a few times before, so we met."
"What's the matter with her?"
"It's nothing, just chat."
"Where are you going to talk?"
"She didn't eat, so I treated her to dinner."
"Where did you eat?"
"Hey, what's wrong with you today? Track my whereabouts? β
"Don't dare. If you don't want to say it, forget it. β
"Triangle Garden has opened a new Hunan restaurant, and the food eaten there."
"And then? Where have you been? β
They chatted together, and then sat down in the dance hall of the Tianhua Hotel. What's the matter with you? Hold on to it, huh? β
"It's nothing, Xiulan and I went shopping in the Triangle Garden and saw you."
Li Yunhai's heart jumped violently.
Fortunately, he had a premonition just now, and knew that Lin Zhi suddenly asked like this, there must be a reason, so he didn't lie.
Others have become shrewd, speaking in front of Lin Zhi, only telling the truth, but will hide the most critical things.
In this way, no matter how powerful Lin Zhi is, he will not be able to see through his true whereabouts.
Sure enough, the pimple in Lin Zhi's heart was relieved.
"You went on a solo date with a beautiful woman, and you didn't do anything?" Lin Zhi asked with a smile.
"Hehe, what can you do? It's so cold! I don't even bother to take off my clothes! β
"Yo, you still want to take off your clothes? People are little girls, you should be careful that she pesters you and makes you ruined. β
"So I don't dare!"
"No wonder you don't look for Xiulan anymore, it turns out that you are looking for something younger and better-looking."
"Yes, I'm the big boss of the Four Seas Group, it's not easy to find a few young girls? Let me tell you, your man is still very popular outside. β
"It's so little! Come up, let me check it out. β
Li Yunhai smiled and quickly got into the bed.
When he was dating Xie Yanran, he retained a certain amount of strength, just to go home and pay the public grain.
After Lin Zhi was satisfied, he didn't mention it with his children in the past.
Li Yunhai took a long breath, thinking that Xizhou is not big, and he has to be careful in the future, the probability of a crash is too great!
The next day, Li Yunhai led people to inspect the Four Seas Center.
The project passed the acceptance, and the decoration was also designed and decorated in accordance with Li Yunhai's requirements.
All four buildings are modern in style, making them the most luxurious and tallest buildings in the province.
The total investment of the project has reached more than 2 billion yuan.
Li Yunhai demanded that all the finishing touches before the relocation be completed by the end of March.
Sihai Group will move in in April.
The company's relocation was easy, but what worries Li Yunhai the most is the commercial application of the building's podium.
The podium has five floors and will definitely be developed into a modern commercial plaza.
Li Yunhai's original idea was to develop it into a computer city.
But as a reborn, he also knows that the lifespan of the computer city is only twenty years.
20 years later, under the impact of online shopping, almost all computer cities could not escape the fate of decay, and even Huaqiangbei in Pengcheng could not escape the washing of the tide of the times.
Therefore, Li Yunhai decided not to build a computer city, but to build a large shopping mall, and then open a store of office equipment on the first floor of the shopping mall.
It's also a lot of trouble to do a shopping mall, do it yourself? Or is it a tenant?
If you want to cooperate, which company to work with?
Li Yunhai contacted Guo Wanhua to hear her opinion.
Guo Wanhua said that there are many mature commercial plazas in Xiangjiang, why not introduce one from Xiangjiang?
The advantage of this is that Li Yunhai only needs to collect rent on an annual basis and rent out the podium to others to operate and manage, saving trouble, worry and effort.
Guo Wanhua also provided another idea, that is, to attract investment by yourself, such a good location, such a high-end commercial building, there must be many brands willing to cooperate, manage by themselves, and make more money, but they need a strong professional management team.
Now in Xizhou, there are also some brand-name stores, but there are not many, mainly concentrated in the area from Zhongshan Road to Huanghang Road, and there is also a friendship shopping mall. A fashionable piece of clothing sells for hundreds or thousands, and some people consume it.
Tens of millions of people in the province, even if only 20% of the wealthy people, this spending power is very strong.
In the 90s, there were a lot of local tyrants, and this group of people who got rich at first glance needed famous brands, luxury cars, and famous watches to set off their identity, such as foreign Rolex watches, Pierre Cardin clothing, and crown cars, which gradually became the standard for the rich, and also became the capital for the rich to show off.
Therefore, there must be a market for opening a high-end shopping mall on Huangxing Road.
Li Yunhai asked Guo Wanhua to negotiate with a large chain supermarket in Xiangjiang and invited them to come over to inspect and see if they could negotiate.
Guo Wanhua contacted the owners of two supermarkets.
As a result, when people heard that it was an inland city and asked about the wage level here, they were not interested, saying that it was better to invest in the special zone if they had money.
In the early 90s, it was indeed difficult to attract investment in Xizhou, because it did not have an advantage at all.
Even in the central region, Xizhou is not as good as the river city across the river.
In 1990, Dongtang Department Store was the first shopping mall in Xizhou with annual sales of more than 100 million yuan, and became a symbol of the city's and even the province's department stores.
But this is a state-run mall.
As for large private supermarkets, there is no precedent.
Later, the smash hit Heiwado would have to wait four years before it could open.
Xiangjiang's supermarket chains don't look down on Xizhou and are reluctant to come to invest.
Li Yunhai had no choice but to attract investment by himself and do it himself.
He had no experience in this area and had to find a team and people who were capable of managing a large supermarket.
There are no professionals in this area in China.
Not to mention Xizhou, Beijin, Shanghai and other places are still dominated by state-run shopping malls, and private supermarkets are still a novelty.
The business model of state-run shopping malls is significantly different from that of modern supermarkets.
In the era of planned economy, what state-owned shopping malls sell was planned, and even Sihai Group had to beg grandpa to sue grandma if it wanted to build a counter in it.
As the so-called emperor's daughter does not worry about getting married, and the goods of state-run shopping malls are not worried about selling, so their manager is actually an official and does not know much about business affairs.
Li Yunhai wanted to dig them up, but it was difficult to come, and there was no need to come.
He decided to develop a management team from within his company.
The matter reached Chen Hong's ears, and on this day, she called Li Yunhai and volunteered to help manage the commercial building in the Four Seas Center.
After Li Yunhai received her call, he did not make a decision immediately.
Because he knows Chen Hong's ability, he is afraid that she will not be able to control such a big stall.
So he said: "Chen Hong, you are still young and need to be experienced. Besides, this job is completely out of line with your major. β
"I don't understand, I can learn! Besides, you can teach me, can't you? No matter who you invite to do things, you have to learn from scratch, and no one is born with this. You might as well invite me! I'm graduating soon, and I can leave school for an internship now, if you agree, I'll go to Xizhou tomorrow, and I won't have to go home for the New Year. β
"Chen Hong, this matter is not as easy as you imagined, you little girl, why do you suffer from this?"
"Zhu Lin and Gong Jie can be your branch manager, why can't I? I'm no worse than them! β
"You don't want to be an actor anymore?"
"Being an actor is also about making money, you can just let me make money."
"Hey!"
"I don't care, you have to agree! I'm going to Xizhou tomorrow, and I'm going to be closer to you. β
"Hey, Chen Hongβ"
"See you tomorrow!" Chen Hong hung up the phone after speaking.
Li Yunhai slowly put down the phone and called Zhao Jinping over.
Zhao Jinping knew that the boss had been worried about the business mall's investment recently, and provided a suggestion: "The manager of the Zhongshan Road Department Store, named Qian Changbao, is a talent. Boss, I heard that he recently had the idea of leaving, if we can poach him, then the management side of the matter, just leave it to him. β
Li Yunhai groaned: "Qian Changbao? I'm afraid that he has too much bureaucratic atmosphere, and if he does everything according to the way of state-owned enterprises, then he will not be able to invigorate the market. β
Zhao Jinping said with a smile: "After he came, he just helped you do things, and he can always adapt to the new environment and new requirements." Just like me, I also worked for the state-run store at the beginning, and then under your leadership, didn't I do it well? β
Li Yunhai said: "Okay, then you can make an appointment with him, and I will talk to him." β
Zhao Jinping said: "This is easy, so make an appointment tonight?" β
Li Yunhai said: "There is a newly opened Hunan restaurant over there in the Triangle Garden, what is it called Xiangli Xiangwei, the food there is not bad, just make an appointment over there, and it is close to the Zhongshan Road Department Store." β
"I know the shop, okay, I'll make an appointment over there." Zhao Jinping replied.
Li Yunhai said: "Just me and you, well, bring Su Hong again!" β
Zhao Jinping said okay and got up to leave.
After a while, he came over to report: "Mr. Li, I contacted Qian Changbao, and he promised to come out for dinner in the evening." β
Li Yunhai asked: "Mr. Zhao, why did Qian Changbao resign?" Do you want to go to the sea? Or was he fired for what reason? β
Zhao Jinping smiled and said: "He's a good person, everything is good, but there is a little, greedy for beauty, he can't control his lower body, and he got together with a counter lady in the company, and after his wife found out, he went to the unit, he couldn't stay in the unit anymore, and took the initiative to resign." β
Li Yunhai was stunned.
Zhao Jinping said: "Boss, no one is perfect, as long as he has the ability to complete the things you explain, personal personal feelings can be ignored." β
Li Yunhai nodded slowly: "Then how did he deal with his family affairs?" β
Zhao Jinping said: "He is divorced, and now he lives with that counter lady." His ex-wife is a tigress, very fierce, I've seen it a few times, and a man can't stand it. β
Li Yunhai said: "Let's talk about it when we meet in the evening!" β
Not long after Zhao Jinping left, Lin Zhi came to Li Yunhai's office.
"Yunhai, I heard that you want to invite Qian Changbao?"
"Just one idea, no decision yet."
"Yunhai, such a person can't be recruited. I heard about him, and for the sake of a vixen outside, he divorced his original wife. This man has a moral problem! How can such a person be recruited into the company? β
Lin Zhi is the vice president of personnel, and if the company wants to recruit people, it must report to her.
As soon as Zhao Jinping told Lin Zhi about Qian Changbao, Lin Zhi felt that it was inappropriate.
Li Yunhai said: "People are not sages!" When we look at people, we must look at them comprehensively, and we can't just look at one moment or one thing. β
Lin Zhi said: "Yunhai, such a person can't be the manager of our company!" This is a matter of principle. β
Li Yunhai frowned and said: "Then according to what you say, anyone who has been divorced and anyone who has cheated will be kicked out of our company?" We are just a company, not a moral model. Even within the system, there is no such requirement. β
Lin Zhi said: "Why not? Wasn't he fired from a department store? β
"He resigned on his own."
"It's just such external propaganda, he was actually expelled!"
"Okay, I see, I'll meet him in the evening and talk to him. If not, I won't bring him in. β
"You've got to think about it. Our company is not a rag-collecting company, people who are not wanted by others, what do we do when we pick them up? Or a treasure to offer? β
"You're going too far! Then a man can't make a mistake? If you make a mistake, you will be beaten to death with a stick? β
"It depends on what kind of mistakes are made, and some mistakes cannot be forgiven."
Li Yunhai smiled bitterly.
In the evening, Li Yunhai, Zhao Jinping, and Su Hong came to the Xiangli Xiangwei Restaurant on Zhongshan Road.
The decoration of this restaurant is very high-grade, and it is not inferior to Yulou Donglai.
Zhao Jinping booked a private room.
When they arrived, Qian Changbao had already arrived.
Qian Changbao is in his thirties, he is very tall, and he looks shrewd and capable. There is a woman beside him, twenty-seven or eight years old, dressed up in fancy clothes, with a good figure and appearance, and she is probably his new love.
"Mr. Li is good! I've heard of it for a long time! Qian Changbao stretched out his hands from afar, shook hands with Li Yunhai with a smile.
Li Yunhai nodded and said, "Mr. Qian, hello." β
Qian Changbao smiled awkwardly: "I resigned, and I am no longer the president of Qian." β
Everyone is seated.
Li Yunhai chatted with Qian Changbao and found that this person had some material, talked wittily, and spoke in an orderly manner.
Qian Changbao is a college student, knowledgeable and experienced.
Under his management, the performance of Zhongshan Road Department Store in recent years has been quite good.
The woman who followed Qian Changbao was also very good-mouthed, and she treated people and things very decently.
Li Yunhai asked: "Comrade Qian Changbao, what are your plans after you resign?" β
Qian Changbao had spoken to Zhao Jinping on the phone before, and knew what this meeting meant, so he immediately straightened his waist and said, "Mr. Li, I originally planned to take Liang Min to the south to develop together." There are special zones in the south, and there are many opportunities. But I heard Mr. Zhao say that Sihai Group wants to build a large-scale supermarket, I don't take the liberty of recommending myself, and I want to help Mr. Li do things! β
Li Yunhai said: "We are a private company, do you understand? β
Qian Changbao said: "No matter what state-owned and private enterprises are now, if you can make money, you are a good enterprise." In today's state-owned enterprises, people are superfluous, and the people inside are engaged in deception, and few people are sincere in doing things. I've wanted to go to the sea for a long time. Mr. Li, I don't care about the establishment. As long as you are willing to ask me, I will definitely help you build a supermarket. Xizhou is my hometown, my family is here, and if I can stay and work in Xizhou, it will certainly be the best. β
Li Yunhai asked, "How are you going to open up the situation?" β
Qian Changbao said: "It's very simple, open investment!" We only cooperate with the best enterprises at home and abroad, so as to raise the grade of our shopping malls and truly open up sales. The biggest difference between us and state-owned enterprises is that we have greater autonomy in our choice. Please give me two months, and I will definitely be able to open the supermarket in the four seas! β
Li Yunhai said: "Do you know how modern supermarkets operate? β
Qian Changbao said: "Mr. Li, I have been to Xiangjiang and coastal cities for inspection, and I know how supermarkets operate. β
Li Yunhai talked to him specifically, and felt that this person was available, so he said: "Okay, Comrade Qian Changbao, I'm very happy to cooperate with you!" β
Qian Changbao picked up the wine glass, stood up, raised his hands above his eyebrows, and said: "Thank you Mr. Li for giving me a chance, I will definitely live up to my expectations and make a good achievement!" β
He hesitated slightly, pointed to Liang Min beside him and said, "Mr. Li, Liang Min is a sales talent, she was a sales champion in Zhongshan Road Department Store before, can you arrange something for her to do?" (End of chapter)
