The Era of Hard Work

The spring breeze sweeps through, and everything is renewed. Among the roads and houses in Lujia Village, the trees sprout yellow and green new shoots.

It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to grow people. After decades of felling trees to raise funds for starting a business, there are very few old trees left in Lujia Village. New trees have been replanted in the spring of the past two years.

This year, trees were planted on both sides of the road belonging to Lujia Village, in front of the school building, and on the ground of the new village.

The trees planted are not green ornamental trees, but tall trees such as locust trees, elm trees and poplars that can grow into talents.

In Lu Zhenlin's words, this is not only to leave a shade for future generations, but also to leave the capital for survival.

This is completely different from the Lujia Village in my impression.

Standing on the newly opened east-west main road at the head of the village, Zhang Mingyu, the boss of Ginza in charge of the supermarket business, looked at the school on the east and the new village with countless walls and houses, and said to Lu Dong: I have been to Lujia Village with my classmates before. It’s a different impression.”

Fan Yunming of Guangmei Electric said with a smile: I heard that the annual output value of Lujia Village was over 100 million last year.

Lu Dong didn't need to be humble with these two people: Strive to go further this year.

Ginza has a cooperation with Lujiacun Food Company, Zhang Mingyu said: Not to mention anything else, the food company alone will not exceed 100 million this year.

Lu Dong glanced at his watch. It was almost eleven o'clock. He invited, Stay in Lujia Village for lunch? A chef here has developed a lot of special dishes.

Okay! Fan Yunming replied straight away: When I arrive at Brother Lu's hometown, I can't justify not eating your food or drinking your wine.

Zhang Mingyu smiled: Damn, I heard that there is a chef named Sun in your village who is very good.

Lu Dong greeted the two of them: Get in the car.

After getting in the car, Lu Dong called Lai Qian Rui and Lu Jianshe.

When the former construction company was established last year, following Zhao Juanjuan's suggestion, he became a shareholder in Lujia Village Construction Company, and happened to come here today to discuss engineering matters.

The latter has been in charge of the business of the Lu family food company, and is an old acquaintance with Zhang Mingyu and Fan Yunming.

Sun Qinghai, who used to do weddings and ceremonies in the village, took over a private land in the west of the village and opened a restaurant with a steel structure. With the help of the flow of people coming and going from Lujia Village, the business has been good.

Not to mention anything else, just the drivers who come to Lujia Village to discuss business and deliver goods can support the restaurant.

The car was parked at the door, and as soon as Lu Dong entered, several foreign salesmen who were eating here saw him. Those who came here often knew who Lu Dong was, and they all came to say hello, and some simply made friends.

Lv Dong didn't have any arrogance. He cupped his hands like Uncle Jianshe often did, and said with a smile, Everyone, I'm really sorry. I have something to do today. Let's talk about it another day.

They looked at Zhang Mingyu and Fan Yunming's clothes with a wink, and saw the car parked at the door through the glass door. They also knew that these two were not ordinary people. After saying hello or handing over their business cards to Lu Dong, they soon left.

Lu Dong saw Sun Qinghai and said, Uncle Sun, there are still private rooms.

Sun Qinghai led the way: This way.

Now he seldom cooks anymore, and his son Sun Liang is in charge of the kitchen.

They are all old acquaintances, and Lu Dong was not polite, he entered the private room and said, Uncle, here are some special dishes, let Brother Liangzi get some special ones.

Okay! Sun Qinghai responded first, and then asked, How many did your seventh uncle teach?

Lu Dong said, That's fine.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Qian Rui and Lu Jianshe came over one after another. It was secondary for the five of them to eat and drink together, and the main thing was to talk about things.

They have business contacts with each other, and the topics basically revolve around work.

During this period, Fan Yunming answered a phone call with an uncontrollable joy on his face.

Lu Jianshe asked, Mr. Fan, good things are coming?

A little thing. Fan Yunming said so, the smile on his face could not be concealed.

Lu Dong poured wine for a few people and asked, Mr. Fan, isn't it a promotion?

There are Lujia Village Jian generations here, although they talk about each other, but it is easy to mess up, so they simply use their job titles.

Fan Yunming said: It's not a promotion, it's just that there are too many things in charge. He simply said: The development of Taidong is much faster than the head office expected. The personnel at the head office informed me that the surrounding areas of Taidong The three provinces, including Taidong, are divided into a large region, which will be under my responsibility in the future.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Why can't other people hear it, even if it is still the general manager of Guangmei Electric's region, but the region in one province is completely different from the regions in several provinces.

Lu Dong picked up the wine glass: I propose, let's have a drink together and congratulate Mr. Fan on his promotion.

The five people toasted and drank together. Fan Yunming said: Guangmei's development in Taidong is possible thanks to the support of Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhang. I would like to offer a toast to you two!

Guangmei Electric's operation in Taidong was much smoother than expected. Even the head office believes that the successful cooperation with local companies is one of the key points.

Lu Dong smiled and said, Mr. Fan, Mr. Zhang, I hope the three of us can cooperate more in the future.

Zhang Mingyu picked up his wine glass and gestured to Lu Dong.

However, Fan Yunming knew that Lu's Catering is now opening up markets in several provinces around Taidong, and the speed of opening stores is ahead of Guangmei. Continued cooperation will do more good than harm to both parties, so of course he replied: Even if Taidong is out, Our three companies can still create a hot business district.”

Unlike Zhang Mingyu, who is a fellow of Qingzhao, who is more knowledgeable, Fan Yunming clearly stated that in the area he is in charge of, Guangmei still adheres to the attitude of the three alliances.

This model has achieved great success in Taidong. With successful experience, the first choice is naturally to continue along the already successful path.

It can be said that the guests and hosts had a great time during the lunch, especially among Lu Dong, Fan Yunming and Zhang Mingyu, they reached a consensus to continue to cooperate.

Lu Dong used to be a jerk at this time period. Although he read the news in the newspaper that Guangmei Electric came to Quannan to fight with Sanlian Appliances, his eyes and energy were not on it, and he didn't even have a half-knowledge about this kind of thing. superior.

Therefore, today's Lu Dong has no idea that the development speed of Guangmei Electric in Quannan and Taidong is more than a little bit faster than before.

Household appliances are not fast-moving consumer goods, which also determines that the sellers of household appliances cannot bloom everywhere like tobacco, alcohol and non-staple food stores.

In Quannan and even the entire Taidong, there are only two real-scale home appliance sellers. Guangmei Electric is developing rapidly, and it is natural to seize the market share of Sanlian Home Appliances.

This kind of truth is naturally very clear to Lu Dong today, but with human thinking, especially Lu Dong who sometimes thinks too much about problems, he doesn't want to have direct contact with Sanlian Home Appliances at all.

Because for him, Sanlian Home Appliances is an enterprise destined to be eliminated by the times.

Buying appliances to Sanlian, and Sanlian defrauding people are very impressive to every Quannan person.

Even people in Quannan who don’t read the news can see the middle-aged uncle who has been playing whistle, waving colorful flags, and wearing “Sanlian hao hao” on the streets of Quannan, who has been persevering for several years.

It was one of the most famous cultural landscapes in Quannan.

He drank a little too much at noon, and sent Zhang Mingyu and Fan Yunming away. Lu Dong was so sleepy that he didn't go to the company anymore. He just went home and took a nap. He slept for a long time after drinking, and woke up It's past four o'clock.

After a brief wash, I called the company. There was nothing to do there, so I went to the new village under construction to have a look.

Along the east-west road, I just came to the school gate, and when the elementary school was over, counting the big and small classes in the Yuhong class, nearly 200 children came out of the school. Most of the students went to Lujia Village, and some went south to Liuwan and Zhang bay.

In several nearby villages, more and more students are transferred to Lujia Village Primary School.

In the past, the living conditions were not good, and there were many children in the family. Let alone studying, it would be good if they were not hungry or cold. Most parents in rural areas can't control what will happen in the next ten years.

It's different now, here are usually only children, but it's siblings or sisters.

With few children and good living conditions, most people naturally attach importance to education.

Just like those who got rich first bought houses in college towns and went to famous schools in the province, who doesn’t want their children to receive better education.

Lujiacun Primary School was newly completed. In winter, there are boilers for central heating. In summer, there are four large ceiling fans in one classroom. The principal is Guo Huzi, who is famous in the town for his strictness.

According to normal principles, it cannot be accepted, but the township education committee turns a blind eye and turns a blind eye. The children who turn over generally have an inseparable relationship with Lujia Village, such as the children of the married girl's family, or the married daughter-in-law's family. child.

In rural areas, these relations between neighboring villages are basically constant, and it is impossible not to accept them.

He first gave way to the primary school students, and when the children were almost gone, Lu Dong came to the school gate. When he habitually looked in, he saw Nail standing motionless on the main aisle of the gate.

Lu Dong has rich experience in the field, and he knew at a glance that the nail was standing.

What's wrong? Lu Dong went over and asked.

Nail blinked: Brother Dong, you and Guo Huzi...

Lu Dong interrupted him: Principal!

Well, Principal. Nail didn't dare to quarrel with Lu Dong, and said, Brother Dong, tell Principal Guo to let me go.

Lu Dong asked, What mistake did you make?

Nail felt that it was nothing to Brother Dong, so he said directly: Guo... the principal taught the Chinese class. I have never recited the text. He told me to stand at the door of the classroom as punishment. I stood there for a while, too. I was bored, so I climbed a tree to the wall from the north playground wall, climbed over the wall and went out to watch the work on the construction site, and when I came back after school, I happened to be caught by Principal Guo...

Lu Dong nodded: Lu Ding, you are really talented! The teacher taught you to stand for punishment, and you can run over the wall.

Nail glanced at Lu Dong secretly, and said cautiously: People say that when you were in elementary school, the teacher told you to stand as a punishment, and you climbed over the wall and went out to dig up all the cabbage hearts grown in the teacher's private plot.

Lu Dong was powerless to refute, so he could only say: An'an is fine, stand still, when Principal Guo asks you to leave, you can leave!
