The Era of Hard Work

During the period in Daocheng, Lv Dong and Du Xiaobing took Miao Yu to run around to deal with the business of opening a store, get more familiar with the business, went to Daocheng Qingzhao Chamber of Commerce to get acquainted, and handed over more work to her.

Because of the official way of attracting investment, all work progressed very smoothly. In addition to finalizing the commercial building diagonally opposite Crowne Plaza Yizhong as the location of the flagship stores of the three companies, Lu's Catering also finalized six other stores.

In the little time left, Lu Dong basically stayed at Yizhong Crowne Plaza Hotel, discussing with Fan Yunming and Zhang Mingyu the next matters in Yanhai and Yanhai.

Similarly, it is also a channel to attract investment.

Yizhong Crowne Plaza Hotel is one of the best hotels in Daocheng, and it is also the designated reception unit of China Merchants Group. In addition to domestic investors, there are also many foreign investors here. You can see foreigners all day long. .

From Lu Dong's personal experience, in terms of attracting investment, Daocheng is indeed better than Quannan.

On the weekend, the Island City Investment Promotion Bureau organized a reception and invited investors from all over the world to participate. This was an opportunity to expand their social circle, and Lu Dong and others naturally accepted the invitation.

Coastal cities accept more and more foreign things faster. The reception is not a round table with seven or eight people eating and drinking, but a Western-style reception that is rarely seen in Quannan.

This is also related to the fact that there are more foreigners attending the reception.

There are more Koreans and neon people.

Wearing a suit, Lu Dong walked in the banquet hall and said to Du Xiaobing, Does your family have any business dealings?

Since Du Xiaobing took off his Nikes, he has always dressed more formally than Lu Dong: I have little involvement in the family business, and I basically don't know foreigners.

Lu Dong deliberately patted Du Xiaobing on the shoulder: Old Du, try to hook up with a foreign girl and go back.

Speaking of sad things, Du Xiaobing sighed: It's hard to be here for a few days.

Investors from all over the world can be met here, and Lu Dong specially recruited a staff member of China Merchants Bureau to help introducers, and came to the reception for the purpose of expanding his social circle.

After a lap, I collected a lot of business cards and chatted with a few people.

For example, a person named Song from the Nanshan Group is probably similar to Wei Yong, but compared to Wei Yonglai, this person is not easy to get along with, full of arrogance, Lu Dong only chatted for a few words, and then consciously walked away.

In the middle, I met Director Luo.

Old Zhao, just right, let me introduce someone to you. Director Luo introduced Lu Dong to a middle-aged man in his forties next to him: This is Lu Dong, President Lu, from Quannan, who works in the catering industry.

Then, he introduced to Lu Dong: This is Zhao Zhen, Mr. Zhao, from Yancheng, specializing in amusement projects.

Director Luo said with a smile: There is no separation between entertainment and catering, the two must have something in common.

Lu Dong and Zhao Zhen reached out to shake hands almost at the same time, and said a few polite words.

Both of them intend to make friends, and Lu Dong wants to further ask Zhao Zhen about the industry he is engaged in. Zhao Zhen is very interested in Lu Dong coming from Quannan.

Zhao Zhen seemed to have learned about it from China Merchants Bureau: I heard from Bureau Luo that Mr. Lu's catering business is quite big?

It's just started, and the company was only established last year. Lu Dong also knows that the actual situation of Lu's Catering cannot be hidden from others, so what he said is basically the truth: At present, there are more than 50 restaurants, most of which are concentrated in Quannan and the cities near Quannan. , This time I came to the peninsula to open up the peninsula market.”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: It's amazing to have more than fifty stores in such a short period of time! He turned to ask: May I ask, Mr. Lu Guigeng?

Lu Dong Zheng'er said in the Eight Classics: Twenty.

Hearing this age, Zhao Zhen couldn't help thinking: President Lu is amazing, amazing, a young hero.

When Lu Dong was running outside, sometimes his words would be exaggerated: I am very ordinary, and I am mainly taken care of by the elders.

This is actually not wrong.

Zhao Zhen also came out of business all the way. In Taidong's social business environment, a 20-year-old boy has established a business of more than 50 chain stores. If there is no one to take care of him, who will believe it?

Is everything going well here? Zhao Zhen asked again: President Lu and I hit it off right away. If you need help, you are welcome.

Lu Dong smiled: It went well, I came here with Guangmei and the people from Ginza, and they are always at the front when things happen.

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, and he understood that Lu's Catering is a new company, so he doesn't know much about it, but he knows Guangmei and Ginza. ...

Could the people who came with these two families be ordinary people?

Zhao Zhen spoke politely with a hint of closeness: Mr. Lu, Guangmei and Ginza are developing very fast, and I have always wanted to get acquainted with people from their side.

Lu Dong also said very kindly: When I meet them later, I will introduce them to Mr. Zhao.

Having said that, Lu Dong asked about his intentions: Mr. Zhao, Mr. Luo said that you are in the amusement industry. This time you came to Daocheng to invest in this area?

Zhao Zhen said: I have a project here, Shinan District is going to introduce it, the underwater world.

Lu Dong suddenly remembered that there used to be an underwater world by the sea in Daocheng. People who can invest in this industry must have a lot of assets even if they can get a loan.

This is a big project. Lu Dong complimented: We Taidong, it seems that we don't have a paradise of this kind of ocean, right?

Zhao Zhen laughed, quite proud of himself: After the completion, it must be the first one in Taidong!

Lu Dong continued to brag about business: Mr. Zhao is amazing, and the investment will cost hundreds of millions.

It's nothing, it's nothing. Zhao Zhen said, It's just that it is relatively early to enter this industry, and it has the advantage of being an early starter.

Lu Dong paid attention to it, and planned to inquire later, and then asked: Mr. Zhao still has investment in Yancheng?

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: There are several small playgrounds in Yancheng, and they are doing some fishing fun. An Eight Immortals Ferry has been built in Penglai, and a sea world is also planned to be built. Changdao and Daocheng have also done some projects, which are not worth mentioning. .”

Seeing that Lu Dong seemed to be interested in Lu Dong, he simply asked, Mr. Lu, I heard that Quannan is vigorously developing tourism?

Lu Dong said: That's right, Quannan is integrating tourism resources and building a green industry. Take my hometown Qingzhao as an example. With the decline of traditional industries, I am eager to find a new development path. After many considerations, I finally decided to invest a huge amount. It has formulated a cultural and tourism plan, and will focus on building a tourism industry in the next few years.”

This is what Zhao Zhen is doing. Although the current information flow is not very fast, he has heard it vaguely.

Lu Dong's words continued: Our Qingzhao is rich in natural and cultural resources. Among the 72 famous springs in Quannan, there are many famous springs located in Qingzhao, not to mention the history and culture. I don't know about the black pottery culture, Li Qingzhao. Have you heard of Luozhuang Han Tomb?

I've heard of it. Zhao Zhen really paid attention to it. The excavation of this Han tomb has been featured on the provincial TV station several times, and it has been serialized in a column in the Taidong Evening News, which can be called thunderous. He was full of curiosity: I heard that four-horse carriage frames and chime bells were unearthed?

Lu Dong smiled: That's right, I was fortunate to see some of them unearthed with my own eyes.

Zhao Zhen knew the cultural relic value of these things, and he probably also understood the tourist value: Mr. Lu has been to the excavation site?

This is not the time to be low-key, Lu Dong said directly: I found out that the person is my friend, I will go over occasionally to have a look.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but flood Lv Dong again, because there were rumors in the circle that the first person who actually discovered the Han tomb in Luozhuang was the son of some big leaders in Quannan.

Zhao Zhen said: Mr. Lu is really very lucky to be able to witness the unearthed national treasure with his own eyes.

Lu Dong said specifically: Tell Mr. Zhao the news that has not been officially made public. All the cultural relics unearthed from the Luozhuang Han Tomb, including those national treasures, have been agreed to build a museum on the spot where the Luozhuang Han Tomb was excavated.

Zhao Zhen kept nodding: Using this aspect well, it will be a great help to your Qingzhao's cultural tourism plan!

Lu Dong said: That's right, when the main tomb of the Luozhuang Han Tomb was excavated, there will be a live broadcast on the TV station.

When Zhao Zhen heard it, he thought that it would be difficult not to be famous, and at this moment his mind was spinning very quickly: Mr. Lu, can I go and see the scene?

Lu Dong thought for a while: Mr. Zhao, if you come to Qingzhao, I can help you fight for it.

Zhao Zhen also wanted to go over to see if there was a chance: Let's make a deal!

With the relationship between Professor Fan and Ma Ming, it was very easy for Lu Dong to bring someone in, and immediately said: I will wait for Mr. Zhao in Quannan.

Speaking of which, the relationship between the two has become much closer without knowing it. Besides exchanging business cards, Lu Dong also introduced Fan Yunming and Zhang Mingyu to Zhao Zhen.

After parting from Zhao Zhen, Lu Dong approached Du Xiaobing: Doesn't your family have business in the peninsula?

Du Xiaobing said: Yes.

Lu Dongsai gave him Zhao Zhen's business card: Do me a favor, ask about this person.

Zhao Zhen? Du Xiaobing took the business card: Okay, I'll find someone to ask.

Those who can enter the cocktail party of the Island City Merchants Bureau must not be unknown. After hearing what Lu Dong said, this person must have some reputation in Yancheng.

Du Xiaobing left the banquet hall, found a quiet place to make a phone call, and talked to someone.

In the living room, Lu Dong met several Korean merchants.

Taidong is very close to South Korea, and the business exchanges between the two sides are close, especially the import and export business. Lu Dong specially chatted with a Korean businessman who is engaged in agricultural product trade and proficient in Chinese. During the period, he focused on green onions.

It's also good to be able to bring a few merchants who collect green onions to my hometown.

Not to mention anything else, there are quite a few people growing green onions in Lujia Village this year.

The two exchanged contact information, and the Korean businessman said that he would visit Qingzhao if he had the opportunity.

The main export destinations of Qingzhao scallions are also Japan and South Korea.

After the reception, Zhao Zhen came over and invited Lu Dong and the others tonight.

It is not a bad thing to make more friends when doing business, and Lu Dong and others also happily attended the banquet.

In the peninsula area, drinking is equally strong, and things like deep feelings and boredom are unavoidable.

When calling at night, Song Na kept reminding Lu Dong to pay attention to his body.

After getting up and going to the hotel gym to exercise, Lu Dong received a call from a strange person, someone wanted to come and find him.
