The Era of Hard Work

After tossing around, before dark, Lu Dong returned to the market, and the Malatang stall soon started to fill up. While he was working, he was calculating funds and purchases.

The profit after December 20th and a small part of the working capital squeezed out were invested in Qingzhao Lujia Food Co., Ltd. a few days ago. I still have some working capital and goods worth nearly 10,000 yuan. 35,000 is temporarily lying in the card.

At that time, it will be easy to scrape together 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.

At most, you can invest 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. After all, you have to save some money for the New Year, and you have to consider emergency expenses in case something happens.

In terms of personnel, Qiao Weiguo is not a problem, Uncle Qi counts as one, and Du Xiaobing's request has always been very strong. Adding him, there are four people.

There are two stalls for four people, and they can take care of them.

Generally, no one will provoke them, and there is Seventh Uncle sitting in charge.

Before he came to work on the construction site, Uncle Qi spent his days fooling around all day long, so he was never ambiguous about right and wrong, otherwise he would have been the target of crackdown.

People say that there are people with the wrong name, but no one with the wrong nickname.

On the big weekend, after one night, Lu Dong's two stalls received another nearly 1,500 yuan.

When closing the stall, Song Na put on a down jacket and hat, and sat on the back seat of the motorcycle.

Lu Dong asked, How are you doing?

Very good. Song Na grabbed Lu Dongjun's coat, started the motorcycle, touched Lu Dong's waist with her hand, felt his body was hard, and said quickly: It's almost 400 sold today, and the goods I brought out are almost sold out.

Lu Dong rode a motorcycle to Wenyuan of the school: Your profit margin is higher than mine.

Song Na told Lu Dong the truth: Overall, it's only 70%.

When they came to Xuefu Wenyuan, Song Na got out of the car and opened the door. Lu Dong put on her bag and entered the house. Song Na said, You go out for a run in the afternoon. The Chinese New Year is settled?

Lu Dong put down his bag and said, It's basically settled. Apart from what I told you, I'm also going to sell fireworks and firecrackers. These things are also necessities for the Chinese New Year. If you have spare money, you can also invest in it. I think it can make money.

From his side, at most, he would take out fifty or sixty thousand yuan, and put it in the New Year's Eve to make a small fuss. According to Lu Chun, if there is really a special rectification, he will not worry about selling a hundred thousand yuan worth of goods.

Qingzhao is a county with a large population, and the central and northern parts are even more densely populated.

Song Na felt that Lu Dong was reliable in everything she did, so she thought for a while and said, I have some money on hand, so I will invest it and work with you!

Lu Dong agreed: Okay, wait for me to buy the goods, let's go together.

After unloading the car, Lu Dong went back with her and said, I'm going to the county seat tomorrow, do you have anything to take with you?

Song Na shook her head: No.

The next day, after breakfast, Lu Dong went to Taoyuan with Hu Chunlan first. Sheds were set up in the Taoyuan, and the large stove was well built, and the small stove had to be remodeled according to Hu Chunlan's requirements.

In the shed behind the columbarium, the third grandfather invited the second aunt who married to the county town back, and asked her to train the seventh aunt who sold things.

The second aunt used to work as a waiter in the county cafeteria, serving bowls and plates to the county leaders. In the Qingzhao service industry, she was the most particular about posture and manners.

Lu Zhenlin is old, and his mind is not rigid. In addition, Lu Dong's notebook reminded him that he had specially told Second Aunt Grandma that the goal of the training was to let Seventh Aunt and others treat customers with the attitude she used to serve as a leader.

In terms of house leasing, Accountant Li negotiated two storefronts in the county, which are not on the street, but deep in the residential area.

The shop in the village is easy to talk about, and the ones in the neighboring towns are talking.

Taking advantage of Lu Zhenlin's free time, Lu Dong went to exchange a few words. Generally speaking, there were many difficulties, such as limited funds, and everything had to be carefully calculated.

For example, people in the village are used to laziness, even if they really want to do things, there are some bad habits that have formed habits, and it is not easy to change them.

For example, it is impossible for big guys to bring their own dry food to work for a long time. If they want to work in the company, they need to be screened out and formulated corresponding benefits.

As far as this point alone is concerned, it would be impossible for Lu Dong to do it.

As far as the current stage is concerned, even if he has established a certain prestige in the village, his age and seniority are still flawed. Facing more than half of the uncles and aunts, it would be nonsense to say that he can promise everything.

Lu Zhenlin can do it, and everyone in the village who really wants to do things agrees.

Maybe in another seven or eight years, or even five or six years, with his personal development, Lu Dong can truly become the backbone of Lujia Village, but this stage is unrealistic.

Lu Zhenlin can guarantee that most of the people in the village will put their energy into one place and think in one place.

I'm very motivated, and the construction of the site is no problem. Lu Zhenlin put his hands behind his back and looked at the busy orchard: We can start production in a week at most.

These are all jobs that Lujia Village is familiar with, so they naturally have advantages.

If it was an unfamiliar job, everyone would be blinded.

Lu Dong said softly: If you can make money, everyone will be more motivated.

Lu Zhenlin said: I hope it goes well. The society is different. It's purely about dedication and motivation. It's okay in the short term. There are material rewards! Dongzi, your third grandfather has gained a lot of knowledge during his trip to the south, and what you said when you were an advanced individual is very reasonable, and the role of material incentives cannot be ignored.

Lu Dong listened quietly.

Lu Zhenlin continued: The world is different. Now that people are alive, they need money for everything they eat, drink, and scatter. If they run a business, they only talk about dedication and don't talk about remuneration. It's a hooligan. If we were successful a year ago and made more money, the company would take care of it appropriately. Take out a little as a New Year bonus.

Lu Dong told the truth: It should not be too much, otherwise it will affect the next development.

Lu Zhenlin agreed with Lu Dong's words: I will formulate according to the specific situation.

Lu Dong thought of a key thing: Third Grandpa, Han Zhu Ge Ge on the county TV station will be airing soon, how is the commercial talking?

It's settled. Lu Zhenlin said with a smile: I'll get the deputy director to drink and get down, and drink until he gets under the table! Let's give 10,000 yuan to the advertisement after the prologue. Pay off the remaining 10,000! But we need to shoot the advertisement by ourselves...

Lu Dong admired it sincerely, and gave a thumbs up: The price is not bad.

Lu Zhenlin came back to his words: The county TV station is not a business unit. The specific number is not up to Lao Fu, the deputy director of the station, but how to shoot the advertisements. We don't understand.

Lu Dong thought about it for a while: Third Grandpa, you can ask my elder brother about shooting commercials.

Lu Chun? Lu Zhenlin didn't understand.

Lu Dong simply said: Tell him, he can find someone.

Okay, I'll call him today. Lu Zhenlin said about the advertisement again: I've also contacted all the brigades. It's not realistic to broadcast through loudspeakers, but advertisements can be posted on the bulletin boards of nearby villages.

Considering that Lu Dong's business in the university town is booming, and it is currently the best food business in Lujia Village, Lu Zhenlin asked for opinions: I have had an idea for the past two days. It's the first time we do it, but I don't even count it. Usually It’s easy to say that it’s retail, but it’s sold by the catty.”

In Chinese New Year, we all pay attention to hanging water and directly filling barrels. It is convenient whether you give it away or eat it yourself. But the market is so big and the demand is so big. Except for the third company of your fifth grandfather who is sure to need about 350 barrels, others are not counted. ...

It is rare for Lu Zhenlin to have no confidence: When Cheng Lifeng's store was booming, someone came here to pay for the water just after the twelfth lunar month. I wondered if we could let each store and the village, in the advertisement, Do you accept reservations?

Pay 10 yuan, and order a bucket of Chinese New Year's water? We have the village committee as a guarantee, and my old face is here. In the surrounding villages, I still have a good reputation.

Lu Dong thought for a while and said, Third Grandpa, I think it's okay. Even if it doesn't work out, there won't be much negative impact, so he came up with an idea: Let me make a suggestion, Third Grandpa, you can also take a look. Then we will be in all In the store, hold an event, pay 20 yuan to book a Chinese New Year launch, and give a catty of pigskin jelly.”

Lu Zhenlin nodded: It's a good idea to make a reservation... It's a way. I'll talk it over with Lao Li and your mother. If it really doesn't work, I'll go to each store to sell it myself!

Lu Dong could tell that for the sake of Lu's Village, Lu Zhenlin really went all out.

Why does Lu Zhenlin have a high prestige in the village? It didn't come out of nowhere.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Lu Dong went back to the village and rode his bicycle to the university town. After finishing his work at noon, he rushed to the county to handle the formal sales procedures of fireworks and firecrackers.

These days, many things are not strictly enforced. As long as you get a certificate, you don't need to stay in a fixed place, you can wander around in a big market full of green photos to sell goods.

Nowadays, there seems to be no unified regulation, and the situation varies from place to place.

There are people who are easy to handle. Lu Chun called. Lu Dong first went to the industry and commerce to go through the formalities, and then went to the county bureau. Overall, it went very smoothly.

Follow the normal procedures, and the two certificates cannot be issued within seven or eight days.

After the certificate is issued, you need to pay various fees of more than 800 yuan.

Lu Dong would not save this kind of money, but it is estimated that many people want to save more than 800 yuan.

There are some things that Lu Dong would not tell people foolishly, not to mention Lu Chun's advice.

The door to apply for a certificate is open, and you can come anytime, and if you don't come, you can't blame anyone.

…………

In a courtyard to the northeast of University City, the fourth child sat on the main seat and asked, Have you investigated the situation?

A younger man said: I went to the county town specifically and asked where there were many people in the market. There was a man like Shandiao, who was said to be a big bastard. He seemed to be the seventh in the family, but what was his name? , it’s not so clear.”

Another person who was about the same age as the fourth child said, Do you know the exact name of the fourth child?

The younger one looked at the fourth child and opened his mouth, unable to speak.

The fourth child judges others by himself: This shows one thing, the nickname of the mountain eagle is loud!

The younger one hastened to make up: Just like you, fourth brother!

Asked about the same age as the fourth child: Fourth brother, what do you think?

Big Xia. The fourth child said unhurriedly, I want to recruit the seventh child into the group. He is a local, bold, bastard, and wants to make easy money...

He looked at the two people: There is a local who is familiar with the situation and will cover for us. It will be much more convenient for us to do things in the future!

The younger echoed: It makes sense.

Da Xia was relatively cautious: Fourth brother, you'd better bring someone here first, let's take a look together.

The fourth child said, I'll bring him here sometime.
