Wang Gang took Han Mu and Qiao Gu back to the capital by train, and immediately returned to the compound, which immediately caused some commotion.
The main problem is that Wang Gang and Han Mu went out alone, but three people came back, and the one they brought back was a young girl. The neighbors immediately started to bite their tongues.
After the rumors spread to the Su family, Su Meng couldn't sit still and immediately came to the Han family to question Wang Gang.
"Han Chunming, who is this woman?"
Wang Gang didn't like Su Meng's attitude very much.
"This is Qiao Gu, Luo Yuzhu's friend. She is temporarily living in our house and will move out when her partner comes over. Don't get me wrong, she sleeps in the same room as me." Mother Han stood up and explained.
"Mom, you don't need to explain. She's not from our family. Why explain so much!" Wang Gang said impatiently:
"Su Meng, it's my freedom who I take home. You have no right to interfere, let alone the right to come to my house to hold me accountable."
Su Meng's face turned red with anger and said: "Han Chunming, you bring women home all day long, how do you want the people in the yard to see me?"
Wang Gang said with a straight face: "I told you very clearly before that we are just friends. I hope you will not come to my house every two days in the future."
When Su Meng heard this, her face turned from red to white, then from white to green, and she stamped her feet and ran home.
Mother Han said with some worry: "Xiaowu, Su Meng has liked you for so many years, why don't you accept her?"
Wang Gang sighed and said: "Some things are more painful than short-term pain. It's better to talk about it, so as not to delay everyone's youth."
Mother Han shook her head and said: "Su Meng is such a good girl, why do you just look down on her?"
Wang Gang explained: "Mom, Su Meng is really not suitable for me. If we stay together reluctantly, we will not be able to score points in the future."
Mother Han grumbled and said, "You two grew up together and know everything about us. What's wrong with that?"
Wang Gang explained patiently: "She has no basic trust in me. Just like when we brought Qiaogu back, she came to accuse me without asking. If we get married in the future, we won't be able to live together."
Mother Han thought about it and realized that Su Meng was a bit impatient. When she came over to question her son just now, Mother Han was actually a little unhappy.
"Xiaowu, tell me honestly whether you like women or not!" Mother Han pulled Wang Gang aside and asked Qiao Gu.
Wang Gang couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Mom, where are you thinking? How could I not like women?"
Mother Han said anxiously: "Don't lie to me. Mom is not an antique. If you really like men, it's not like Mom can't accept it."
Wang Gang was really speechless.
"Mom, let me say it again, I am a completely normal man. I only like women, not men."
Mother Han wondered: "Then why are you dissatisfied with everyone? It stands to reason that there are many good women around you! Su Meng, Cai Xiaoli, even Meng Xiaoxing!"
Wang Gang knew that Mother Han was worried about his life-long events, so she had such worries.
In the original plot, Han Chunming and Su Meng were at odds with each other, so Han's mother naturally didn't worry about her son's orientation.
But over the years, Wang Gang has never expressed his love for any woman. Instead, he rejected several women and hung out with Tao Zi all day long.
It is normal for a mother to have doubts.
Wang Gang thought it was time to find a mother-in-law, otherwise Mother Han would really die of anxiety.
In today's era, people don't pay attention to late marriage and late childbearing. If you don't get married in your thirties and don't have a partner, people will only suspect that there is something wrong with you.
Wang Gang didn't care, but Mother Han couldn't care less. After all, she lived in a large courtyard, and she couldn't see her when she looked down.
In fact, Wang Gang also thought about buying a house and moving out, but Han's mother did not agree, and the money for buying the house was difficult to explain. It would be easier to handle it when the business started in the future.
Thinking of business, Wang Gang immediately went to find Tao Zi and Cai Xiaoli.
As soon as he arrived at Taozi's house, he saw Cai Xiaoli coming out with a flushed face, and Wang Gang was obviously surprised.
"Chunming, you're back!" Cai Xiaoli straightened her hair, obviously a little embarrassed.
Taozi shouted and walked out of the house.
"Xiaoli, you didn't take your coat."
When Wang Gang saw this situation, how could he not know that Tao Zi had successfully captured Cai Xiaoli.
"You can do it! The development is fast enough. When will you treat me to a wedding banquet?" Wang Gang joked.
Cai Xiaoli blushed, grabbed Tao Zi's coat and ran away.
"Xiaoli." Taozi wanted to chase, but was held back by Wang Gang.
"Women are thin-skinned, so it's useless for you to catch up." Wang Gang smiled and said, "Tell me what's going on between you two!"
Tao Zi rubbed the back of his head honestly and led Wang Gang into the house first.
"I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't clearly rejected Xiaoli and created opportunities for me, I wouldn't have been able to win her over."
"Hey!" Wang Gang said in surprise: "Your stutter seems to be gone."
Tao Zi smiled naively and said, "I don't know how it got better. I can speak fluently now."
Wang Gang nodded and said with a smile: "You are nourished by love, and any problem can be cured."
The two brothers chatted for a while, and then Wang Gang asked about the restaurant.
"I have rented the house in the restaurant. As you requested, I will sign for ten years and the rent will increase by 3% every year." Taozi took out a contract and gave it to Wang Gang.
Wang Gang read the contract and said there was no problem, so he started discussing the opening time of the restaurant and the name of the restaurant.
"I have already ordered the equipment for the restaurant and it will arrive in two days. I have hired two waiters first and interviewed a few more. I will wait for you to come back and make up your mind."
As soon as Wang thought of Qiao Gu, he started talking to Tao Zi.
"I have no problem here. The restaurant is short of waiters anyway. As long as Qiaogu can pass the test, let her come."
Wang Gang thought for a while and said: "If you think of ways to rent a few more houses, it would be best if they are close to restaurants and used as staff dormitories in the future."
"Ah!" Tao Zi said in confusion: "We have to control food and control!"
Wang Gang nodded and said: "Most of the clerks you recruited are from outside the country. The working hours in the restaurant are long. It will be difficult to retain people if we don't solve the housing problem.
Since we have requirements for our employees, we must also solve their actual difficulties so that the company can run for a long time."
Wang Gang told Taozi about the business model of a certain Dilao in later generations, and he was stunned for a while.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Your employee benefits are also very good! There are paid vacations, children's education subsidies, and train tickets to return to your hometown.
The employees’ parents have pension subsidies, and you want to work even if you do this? Why do you want to be a boss?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "You are right to have this idea. The restaurant I want to open will naturally be more than just this one. I will definitely open a chain in the future, and even open it all over the country, and even abroad.
This requires formulating a system in advance to give employees a sense of belonging.”
Tao Zi shook his head and said: "You have gone to college and are more educated and knowledgeable than me. I will listen to you!"
This is what Wang Gang likes about Tao Zi. He has self-awareness and knows what he should and should not do.
The two of them went to look at the hotel site again and planned everything except for a name.
In the original plot, Han Chunming named the restaurant "Go back to the building again", and there was a meaning in it. His master, Mr. Guan, once said, "When the tea is fragrant, stop drinking, gather friends, and go back to the building again."
Wang Gang thought the name was quite good, so he kept it.
But when I return to the building, the main business is not a restaurant, but a hotpot.
Wang Gang thought twice and gave up opening a restaurant and turned to hotpot, which was also the result of some research.
Although Taozi has studied cooking for three years, unfortunately he has not yet mastered cooking skills and cannot support himself as a restaurant chef.
Wang Gang hasn't graduated from university yet, so he can't cook.
The advantage of opening a hot pot restaurant is that it is less dependent on chefs.
As long as the pot base is well-made, the ingredients are fresh, and the service is good, it is easy to open a hot pot restaurant.
The most important thing is that it is easy to open a hot pot restaurant branch and easy to manage later, which is suitable for Taozi at this stage.
After finalizing the specific details, Wang Gang handed over the trivial matters to Tao Zi, while he drafted the future rules and regulations of the store, as well as the training process.
On October 2, 1980, the day after National Day, a hot pot restaurant called "Zai Hui Lou" appeared in the downtown area of the capital.
On the opening day of the new store, Wang Gang asked Taozi and Cai Xiaoli to take the stand while he hid in the back kitchen making the base ingredients.
Wang Gang set up a big pot behind the hot pot restaurant, stir-fried the ingredients himself, and made the pot base. Soon the whole street could smell the aroma of the hot pot base.
This is more beneficial than any publicity, and many people are lured into the "Returning Building" by the aroma.
On the day of opening, you will get a 50% discount when you return to the building, a 40% discount on the second day, a 30% discount on the third day, a 20% discount on the fourth day, a 10% discount on the fifth day, and the original price on the sixth day, but members still enjoy a 20% discount.
Members do not need to recharge, but they need to pay an annual membership fee of 88 yuan.
Thanks to Wang Gang's modern promotion methods, Zai Hui Lou quickly became famous in the capital. Customers came in like clouds and he was busy until eleven or twelve o'clock at night every day. With the reopening and development, people's living standards have improved, and the business hours will be extended.
long.
At this time, Taozi finally understood why Wang Gang insisted on arranging dormitories for employees.
