The Era of Hard Work

At the beginning of the lights, Quannan Road Pedestrian Street is full of people. The shops along the road are the busiest time of the day, especially the shops in the west section of Quannan Road, which are basically overcrowded.

But on the first floor of the Ginza shopping mall building in Xishou, the KFC store was brightly lit, but there was a sign saying it was closed at the door.

Across the door, Pizza Hut, which had just entered Quannan, was also closed.

Further east, there is a KFC store and a McDonald's store, both of which are closed.

Those who have the desire to consume hamburgers and fried chicken can only go to the Burger King store. The two Burger King stores on the west end and the middle east of Quannan Road have long queues in front of the ordering counters since five o'clock. Team.

As direct competitors, KFC and McDonald's were ordered to suspend operations for rectification, and Burger King ushered in the best development opportunity.

Nowadays, along with the successive major food safety accidents of foreign fast food brands, there is also a lot of praise from the media for Burger King, a domestic western fast food brand.

Backed by KFC and McDonald's, Burger King's brand image and brand value have risen rapidly.

In many cases, the brand value depends on the peers.

Burger King seized the opportunity to increase investment in publicity and marketing. In addition to TV and media advertisements, it also cooperated with the image spokesperson Jay Chou to launch a series of offline activities.

Since signing the contract, Jay Chou, like Burger King, has seen an obvious upward momentum, and the two can also be said to be leveraging each other.

In this competition for Western-style fast food standards in the Chinese market, Burger King must be the biggest winner.

The specific affairs were handed over to Xu Qin, and Lu Dong's energy turned to other areas.

On January 10, 2003, the traditional Laba Festival, Lu Dong accompanied Qiao Weiguo, Jiao Sanhei, Jiao Shougui and Lu Jianwu to the Qingzhao County Court and attended the trial of Gao Yan and Gai Shiying.

Originally, the case would not progress so quickly, because some of the cases involving Ge Shiying were somewhat complicated.

However, there was a very strong force from above to push the case of Ge Shiying to be handled quickly, investigated and tried quickly, and it was pushed to the trial stage just after the New Year.

There is no doubt that both men are charged with multiple crimes.

Gao Yan was sentenced to death with a reprieve for several crimes including intentional injury, illegal business operation, extortion and organizing and leading the underworld.

Normally, if Ge Shiying was punished for several crimes, he might be sentenced to more than five years. However, he surrendered himself and was finally sentenced to three years in prison.

Then there are the civil compensation and illegal property confiscation involved.

Gasgoo Logistics Group was identified as Geshiying's illegally embezzled income and was confiscated in court.

Qiao Weiguo, Jiao Sanhei, Jiao Shougui, and Lu Jianwu received varying amounts of civil compensation from Gao Yan.

Ge Shiying and Gao Yan obeyed the verdict and did not appeal.

After coming out of the court, several people got into a Buick commercial vehicle and prepared to go back to the university town.

I still think that Ge Shiying can appeal. Jiao Sanhei had heard Jiao Shougui's analysis before, and someone stood up behind Ge Shiying: Even pull out everyone.

Jiao Shougui pointed at him: How old are you, and you still say such nonsense!

Lu Jianwu said with a smile: Three blacks, want to find out this kind of person, and involve all aspects. If they don't get out, we will have problems first.

Lu Dong said at this time: Uncle Ba is right, there are many things we can't do if we want to.

Jiao Shougui quickly said: Dongzi, we all understand that it is not easy to achieve this step, as long as that Gao Yan can't escape.

Qiao Weiguo suddenly asked: The two-year reprieve means that the execution will be executed two years later.

No. Lu Dong simply explained: Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't make big mistakes in the past two years, you won't die.

Lu Jianwu nodded: Yes, this is basically an indefinite period.

When the group returned to University City, Lu Dong called Lu Jianwu to the Lu's Catering Building, and then called a meeting. Li Wenyue also rushed over from Lu's Village to participate in the meeting.

As the case was officially pronounced, Ge Shiying abandoned the appeal, and the acquisition of Ge Shiying entered the formal implementation stage.

According to the resolution negotiated by the two parties, in the early stage of the acquisition, Lujia Village and Lu's Catering each contributed half of the acquisition of Gasgoo Logistics Group. After the completion of the acquisition, Gasgoo Logistics Group will be planned and integrated.

But the final shareholding ratio will not be half and half.

The distribution centers and cold chain fleets of Lu's Catering distributed in various provinces and regions of the country will be merged into Gasgoo Logistics, and based on this, Gasgoo Logistics' business will be expanded to the whole country.

Similarly, the large transport convoy under Lujia Village will also be placed under Gasgoo Logistics.

There will be a professional third-party organization to conduct an evaluation to determine the shareholding ratio of both parties.

This is also to avoid some criticism and later troubles.

In principle, Lu's Catering will have at least a two-thirds absolute shareholding ratio after the distribution center and cold chain fleet are transferred to Gasgoo Logistics.

The re-integrated Gasgoo Logistics Group is enough to become the country's first-class large-scale logistics group.

Lu Dong's idea is to develop the express delivery business with the logistics business as the basic disk while stabilizing and expanding the logistics business.

While formally preparing for the handover with the city, Lu Dong was also looking for a suitable professional logistics manager.

Mu Kun introduced a candidate, a professional manager from Quannan Post Office.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the private logistics industry across the country has just entered the stage of real development, not to mention the 1980s and 1990s, even two or three years ago, if the relevant approvals were not obtained, the transportation and postal services have to check.

Strictly speaking, logistics is not under the control of the postal service, but the postal and telecommunications system at that time was like the iron boss or the urban management bureau, which seemed to be in charge of the sky and the ground.

In addition to the founders of logistics and express delivery companies who worked hard from the reckless era, there are also many experienced logistics talents in the postal service.

The era when the post office dominated the country has only ended for a few years.

After Lu Dong got to know the person carefully, he asked Mu Kun to chat with the person in advance to make sure that the person had the idea of ​​changing jobs, so he came to visit him personally.

Uncle Zhao, this is Mr. Lu Dong, who I mentioned to you, the big boss of Lu's Catering Group.

In the living room of a slightly old three-bedroom building, Mu Kun introduced the two sides, adding a special sentence: Lv Dong and I have been friends for many years, and our character and reputation can't be said.

Lu Dong shook hands with others: Hello, Chu Zhao.

While talking, he was also sizing up.

This Zhao Department is called Zhao Jinghui, whose ancestral home is NMG. He came to Quannan in the 1980s after taking the technical secondary school entrance examination. After graduation, he stayed in Quannan to work. He has been working in the post and telecommunications system, specializing in warehousing and transportation. He has nearly 20 years of work experience. At present, I have become a real-time deputy.

Zhao Jinghui knew more or less about Lu's Catering Company, especially recently, Lu's Catering Company and Burger King were quite famous.

As a member of the system, he also knows something about Lu Dong.

One of the wealthiest people in Taidong, a member of Quannan Securities Co., Ltd., is said to be at the provincial level this year, and has won many personal honorary titles. It is said that the background in the province is extremely deep.

Two days ago, Mu Kun told me about Mr. Lu, and I was thinking of going to visit when I had time. Zhao Jinghui said very politely: I'm sorry to bother Mr. Lu to make a trip in person.

Lu Dong directly explained the purpose of his visit: Zhao Chu is a talent urgently needed by Lu's Catering. Only by visiting at the door can we show sincerity. He glanced at Zhao Jinghui, who was not tall, and said, The city intends to let Lu's Catering and Lujia Village take over Geshi Logistics. The group, the two sides are negotiating, and if there is no accident, the negotiation will be completed this month.

Zhao Jinghui had heard about this matter, such a person as Gai Shiying, he was finished as soon as he said it, and even the entire Gai Shi Logistics Group was fined and confiscated as illegal gains.

Lu Dong's words continued: To be honest, Lu's Catering and Lu's Village lack high-end talents who specialize in warehousing and logistics management. Mu Kun recommended Zhao Chu to me, and I also found someone to know about him. Impeccable, I wonder if Zhao Chu is interested in being the general manager of Geishi Logistics?

According to Lu Dong's understanding, this person has worked in the post office for more than 20 years, not only has strong working ability, but also is good at handling personnel relations.

For Lu's Catering and Lujiacun to take charge of Gasgoo Logistics, not only a general manager who knows how to operate is needed, but also a leader who sorts out personnel affairs.

Zhao Jinghui, who can handle personnel relations well within the system and has experienced fierce competition, is a more suitable candidate that can be found at present.

Because Mu Kun had contacted Zhao Jinghui in advance, Lu Dong got straight to the point. Zhao Jinghui was not surprised by this, and even thought about it for a while.

He came from NMG, and he lacked a deep enough relationship locally. Normally, when he retired, he would let the flow take its course and enjoy the director-level treatment.

This road is very stable, drought and flood guarantee harvest.

Jumping out means risk.

But in the same way, risks come with opportunities. Gasgoo Logistics Group is the leader in the province, and with the support of Lu's Catering and Lu's Village, if it develops smoothly, it may even become one of the top companies in the same industry in China.

Serving as the general manager of such a large company is an irresistible temptation for anyone.

Lu Dong is very clear that it is useless to just say these things. The most important thing is to show sincerity: Zhao Chu, Lu's Catering is willing to pay you 400,000 annual salary. This is the basic remuneration without bonuses and related dividends. There are quarterly rewards and annual rewards based on actual operating conditions, and this general manager position is directly responsible to me!

If you want people to jump out of the comfortable iron rice bowl, you must give higher salaries.

For Zhao Jinghui, the annual salary of 400,000 and other bonuses are quite attractive.

Moreover, it is a rare opportunity to be in charge of such a large company as Gasgoo Logistics.

But the resignation jumps out of the system and involves not just one person, but the whole family.

Zhao Jinghui thought about it for a while, and said, Mr. Lu, thank you for your attention. I thought about resigning and leaving the post office, but the decision is difficult. I need to discuss it with my family.

Lu Dong could understand: Regardless of whether you agree or not, please let Zhao Chu inform me.

Zhao Jinghui knew that it was impossible for people to wait indefinitely, so he said, I will give you a clear answer within three days at most.
