"You need it to open a department store." Lu Hao said.

"The department store wants 20,000 corn cobs, can they sell them?" Li Guangcai asked in surprise.

He thought Lu Hao wanted these corn cobs for sale.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s unlikely?

There are affordable grains, but if they really want to buy grains, most people still use their tickets to buy grains at grain stores because they are cheaper. Buying at bargain-price grain stores is a last resort. They have run out of grain at home and there is not enough, so they will buy it at a high price.

Lu Hao wanted 20,000 corn cobs, but it was difficult to sell them for a while.

He didn't think about where to send it because he didn't consider that 20,000 people would visit Lu Hao's Wanjia Department Store.

"I want it urgently, so I'll sell it to me at the negotiated price. Can you contact me and be a middleman?" Lu Hao said.

On the other side of the phone, Li Guangcai immediately understood what Lu Hao meant.

This is changing the subject.

Corn cobs must have other uses, but Lu Hao didn't say anything. Even though the relationship between the two of them is now quite familiar, Lu Hao has always been tight-lipped when doing business.

The purpose is rarely revealed, and even if it is, there is another purpose hidden.

In terms of business, everything is clear.

A personal relationship is a personal relationship, and a business is a business.

"No problem, it's not a big deal, and there's no need to negotiate the price of grain. Dried corn kernels only cost 21 cents per pound, and it takes about three freshly cut corn cobs to produce one pound of corn kernels.

There is still labor involved, so it would be much cheaper to just charge it, only five or six cents a piece." Li Guangcai did not ask further, "Should I have someone deliver it directly to your department store?"

"Don't worry, just send it to me the day before National Day." Lu Hao said.

The corn cobs are given as gifts, but you still have to try to keep them as fresh as possible, as they are not good if they last too long.

It costs 5 cents a piece, and 20,000 pieces is just 1,000 yuan.

6 cents a piece, 20,000 yuan 1,200 yuan.

Very worth it.

It's been a busy few days and everything is progressing steadily.

Flyers began to be posted and distributed, and a convoy of Santana and small trucks also set off from Qiaokou District to promote the event to surrounding districts.

September 30th will soon arrive.

Tomorrow is National Day, October 1st, the day when the department store officially opens!

The outside of Wanjia Department Store was filled with small colorful flags. Not only that, but also flower baskets were placed in advance, and even a few banners were hung.

"7100 kcal, imported Sanyo air conditioner, open 24 hours a day!"

"Wanjia Department Store will grandly open on October 1st!"

Lu Hao walked around the store again and waited for the people from the grain store to bring the corn cobs and put them into the department store before he left.

Riding a bicycle home.

Flyers can be seen everywhere along the way, on telephone poles, courtyard walls, outside toilets, on light poles, on trees, etc. They are posted everywhere they can!

Many passers-by also had leaflets in their hands.

When I got home, as soon as I locked my bicycle, Huang Minghua ran over, "Boss Lu, your department store will open tomorrow, are you still short of manpower? My husband and I will help you?"

"Your canteen business is no longer available?" Lu Hao looked at him.

His store does still lack some manpower.

But what is lacking is only temporary manpower. Tomorrow is the National Day, which is also the opening day. There will definitely be a lot of passenger flow, but once the National Day is over, the passenger flow will definitely drop. It will only take about two days. It is difficult to find this kind of job.

"I can't make much money from this canteen. If I leave it for a day or two, I'll be fine. Then I'll go to Boss Lu's department store tomorrow to help." Huang Minghua said.

"Okay, thank you." Lu Hao handed him a cigarette without being polite.

Huang Minghua answered, "Boss Lu is joking. I should thank you. I have only been with you for a short time. My husband and I are now considering buying a house."

He sighed. Lu Hao told him before that he would be able to buy a house soon. He still didn't believe it. He thought it would take a long time, at least in years. But how long did it take? The money he earned had already reached

Time to consider buying a house!

He really wanted to hug Lu Hao and kiss him to express his gratitude, but he was afraid that people would misunderstand him, so he could only keep this gratitude in his heart and realize it in his dream.

Now that Lu Hao Department Store is open, he can finally help.

The hardest thing to repay is a favor, let alone one so big!

Lu Hao returned to the house.

Su Min is at home. She hasn't gone to sell rice wine these days because Lu Hao is busy and can't get away. She has to pick up Nini.

"Drink some water and take a break." Seeing her man come back, Su Min took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator, opened it, and handed it to him, "Slow down, don't drink it in one breath, it's a bit cold and hurts your stomach.

"

Lu Hao took a few sips and said, "I'll give dad a call."

He picked up the landline and dialed his father-in-law's home. The phone rang for a long time, thinking that no one was home. When the father-in-law and his mother-in-law did not come back from work, the call was connected.

Su Jiangang's voice said, "Hello?"

"I, your brother-in-law." Lu Hao said, "My shop will open tomorrow. You tell your parents and ask them to come over tomorrow. I mentioned this to my dad last time. He will know it as soon as you tell him."

"How big of a store are you opening? You want to make it so grand and invite your parents to come over." He said this, but Su Jiangang still agreed, "I will tell them when they come back later."

The phone hung up.

"Husband, will there be enough people in the store tomorrow?" Su Min looked at Lu Hao.

She wanted to make an effort.

"It's not enough, but it's still enough." Lu Hao said with a smile, understanding what she meant, "Nini has a holiday tomorrow. You stay with the baby. If you don't want to be at home, go to the store and sit in the office. When the National Day is over,

Once the store returns to normal, you and Chen Linjiao will set up the rice wine stall in the store, and I will leave a place for you."

There is a lot of customer traffic during the National Day, but Chen Linjiao is making the rice wine alone. There is nothing that can be done about the large customer traffic, and the production cannot keep up.

Su Xingmin and Wang Guizhi got off work and returned home.

When he opened the door and saw Su Jiangang sitting in the room, Su Xingmin was surprised, "It's rare that you actually left the room."

Su Jiangang was homeless in the past, and he never saw anyone for meals.

"I have something to tell you." Su Jiangang said, "Lu Hao called and said that his shop will open tomorrow and asked you to come over."

"He told me about this." Su Xingmin nodded and looked at Wang Guizhi aside, "Are we going there together tomorrow? Do we have to give him and Xiao Min a red envelope?"

When moving to a new house or opening a store, you need a red envelope.

He was afraid that Wang Guizhi would disagree, so he asked this deliberately.

"Look at your little thoughts, even if you don't mention Xiao Min, my second uncle's shop has opened, and I will also take this red envelope." Wang Guizhi glanced at him, "But let's not rush to his shop tomorrow."

???

Su Xingmin was a little confused. If he didn't go to Lu Hao's store, where would he go?

"Do you want to go see where they live first?" he asked.

"What's there to see in that place?" Wang Guizhi shook her head and mysteriously took out a piece of paper from her pocket.

The paper was folded several times.

After unfolding, it is a leaflet.

There is a line of eye-catching words at the top:
Chapter completed!
