Chapter 278: I Know You, I Know What It Is To See You Too Late
"No, I absolutely disagree."
Lin Yinian's attitude was very firm.
The original agreement with Lu Qingqing was that she would pay and have certain decision-making power.
In this way, the hotel's surname is still Lin.
But now Lu Qingqing is talking about letting her brother come to the restaurant to work together. In this case, the decision-making power of big and small matters will fall into Lu Mingyu's hands.
So, is this store's surname Lin or Lu?
Besides, Lin Yinian thought of when he was an educated youth in Dawang Village, Lu Mingyu looked stupid all day long.
Even if it is said that it has been cured now, he is still worried.
Does anyone know if there are any side effects?
Lu Qingqing was not in a hurry and slowly told him about Lu Mingyu.
"As you know, I was doing braised pork business in the village before, but I stopped doing it after I moved to the county seat. This business was taken over by my brother."
Lin Yinian was indifferent.
It's just a matter of making it at home and sending it to the county town. It can be done by one person.
Lu Qingqing smiled and asked: "Then do you know how my family's braised pork business is doing now?"
Lin Yinian shook his head.
He doesn't know and has no interest in knowing.
It's just a small workshop. If it survives, the supply volume will be larger or the price will be higher.
Lu Qingqing picked up the teacup and took a sip, speaking calmly:
"My family has opened the first restaurant in Longguang County that can be used for dine-in or takeout. It mainly sells various kinds of braised pork, and also sells other snacks such as steamed buns and pancakes. There are people guarding the door from early in the morning every day.
There’s a queue in front.”
Lin Yinian raised his head in disbelief.
Lu Qingqing continued: "From the idea of opening a store, to the location selection of the store and obtaining the production and operation license, to the actual opening of the business, I rarely stepped in to help. My third brother did all these things alone.
.”
"More importantly, when we were supplying state-owned restaurants in the past, it was just my mother and my second brother who did it. But since the store opened, my brother has hired workers and expanded the size of the store. I dare not say that my family is now the Dragon Boat Festival.
The most popular store in Guangxian County, but it must be a store that everyone knows.”
It was only then that Lin Yinian listened to Lu Qingqing's words and began to rethink Lu Mingyu's value.
The policy to allow private operations has not been opened for a long time. He has only preliminary plans to start a business and is in the preparation stage. Even Lu Qingqing has only been open for a few days.
But in the distant Longguang County, Lu Mingyu actually made his first money long ago and successfully built the reputation of his shop?
This is a rare piece of courage and courage.
Lu Mingyu is a person who should not be underestimated.
Lu Qingqing put down the tea cup in his hand and asked with a smile: "How is it? Can you think about it now?"
Lin Yinian paused, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"If what you said before is true, then I have to admit that your third brother is a person."
"but."
Lin Yinian changed the subject, "Have you ever thought about a problem? Before you just contributed money to invest, my Lin family naturally accounted for the majority of the business, but now you let your third brother participate in the business, how do we calculate and who cares?
Call the boss?"
Lu Qingqing filled the water for him.
"Before, I just wanted to invest, and naturally you took the majority, but now we are investing and providing people..."
Lu Qingqing looked at him with a smile, "If we work together, we will be on equal footing."
Lin Yinian hesitated for a while, but refused:
"no."
Lu Qingqing knew the reason for his hesitation and said slowly:
"Have you ever thought about it, actually, when our two families work together, we can truly learn from each other's strengths and offset our weaknesses, so that this business can become bigger and stronger in the long run?"
Lin Yinian said nothing.
"I don't deny your talent and ability in business, but you have a heavy workload. Do you have enough energy to take care of each and every small thing in person?"
Lin Yinian lowered his head.
He really isn't free.
"But my third brother is different. He has time, ability, and ambition. He wants to take root in Beijing on his own, so he will definitely devote all his energy to this matter. He is more attentive and more suitable than you and me."
Lin Yinian opened his mouth: "But..."
He was interrupted by Lu Qingqing again: "I know your concerns, but you don't have to worry at all. First of all, our investment is 50-50, and the apparent manager is my brother, but the chefs who really support the store are you.
If we do this business, we will become more and more inseparable from each other."
Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "What's more, by then we will probably have saved enough money to fly solo. It's easy to decide whether to continue working together or separate."
Lin Yinian was moved.
Every sentence Lu Qingqing spoke struck a chord with the worries deep in his heart.
What she provided was what he lacked most now.
After negotiating with Lin Yinian, Lu Qingqing called Lu Mingyu over and let the two of them get to know each other briefly.
Afterwards, the three of them sat together and discussed the future opening of the store for two or three hours, but they didn't feel tired.
Lin Yinian had classes in the afternoon and had to leave first.
Before leaving, he was still very reluctant to say goodbye, "It was only after I met my third brother that I realized what it means to regret seeing each other late."
Lu Mingyu also felt sympathy for him, "We have a long time to come. When I come to Beijing in a while, we will have plenty of time to communicate."
"Okay! It's a deal!"
As the middleman, Lu Qingqing has become a transparent person.
She even felt that her presence hindered the emotional development of the two people.
How about I take this class for you?
After Lin Yinian left, Lu Mingyu relaxed and slumped in his chair, feeling very emotional.
Life is always full of opportunities and changes.
Before he came to Beijing this time, he never expected that he would make such a big decision out of nowhere.
Lu Qingqing poured him a glass of water.
Lu Mingyu took it and drank it in one gulp. After drinking it, he was still a little bit unconscious.
"Have we decided now? I'm going to stay in Beijing?"
Lu Qingqing nodded and added in a cowardly voice: "It's not impossible to regret it now."
"Who said I would regret it? Go to the other side."
Lu Mingyu rolled his eyes at her.
Lu Qingqing laughed loudly and followed his example and relaxed on the back of the chair.
Life is amazing.
She suddenly had such an idea yesterday, and after inciting Lu Mingyu, she came to Lin Yinian non-stop to discuss it today.
Unexpectedly, it was settled.
This was really a happy thing for her.
First, Lu Mingyu finally took another big step on the road to self-reliance and self-reliance, and also took a small step to gain Song's father's approval;
Second, they no longer need to be separated by a long distance and can only write letters or occasionally communicate by phone. They can often talk and laugh together in the future.
Lu Qingqing was happy and looking forward to it, and urged Lu Mingyu to go home quickly to share the good news with Lu's father and mother, and then discuss whether to directly close the stores in Longguang County and move to Beijing for development.
After Lu Mingyu returned to the Xie family's old house, he quickly packed up his things and returned to Longguang County with Song Yuying, who was equally excited.
Lu Qingqing spent the whole morning staring at Lu Ji's shop, making slight adjustments to some loopholes and areas that could be improved.
Wang Li has now officially become Lu Ji's acting store manager. Resident Lu Ji helps her keep an eye on the big and small things in the store, and her salary has been doubled by Lu Qingqing.
Lu Erhu and Han Hanjun knew that they couldn't help much in the store, so they spent most of their time at the factory, helping with processing, material selection, packaging and transportation. Everyone worked hard at their posts in an orderly manner.
Lu Qingqing is very satisfied with the current situation.
The only bad thing is that because her clothes are mainly targeted at college students and working young girls, the customer flow will be significantly reduced during working days.
