"I have also said that it is possible, but it is not appropriate to have too many people. It is best to limit it to five people."
As soon as he heard this, Li Chu knew that this was about to break the ice.
If he didn't say that he controlled the number of employees, then Li Chu might still wonder if someone was trying to cause trouble again, but since he could say this, it meant that the person who came to find Lou's father was sincere.
And they are also afraid of being troubled by others, so they talk about the issue of controlling the number of employees.
"If your father-in-law has this idea, you can try it."
"Brother Chu, are you saying that you can open your own shop now?"
"People from the government have already come to see you. Of course you can, but don't be too anxious for the time being. Let them implement all the conditions they agreed to."
"Brother Li, do you want to join us?"
This was not said by Xu Damao, but by Lou Xiao'e, who was sitting aside and chatting with Ding Qiunan.
This statement also stunned Li Chu. He looked at Xu Damao and then at Lou Xiao'e, and suddenly he understood something.
After thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Well, don't ask me to do business as a partner, but I can let Jiadong and Jianguo partner with you, oh, plus Jiayuan. What do you think?
"
His proposal made Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e's eyes light up. Of course they agreed, there was no need to hesitate.
Ding Qiunan was about to say something, but after opening his mouth, he still didn't say anything.
"After you go back, you and Uncle Lou have a good discussion. You can discuss the procurement issues with the government people and find a suitable store.
I have a suggestion that you can consider. The shop must be bigger, preferably upstairs and downstairs. The key is to be able to buy it."
"Buy it?" the other three exclaimed in unison.
Of course you have to buy it. It doesn’t take long for how much the house costs now. You can see how much it will cost in ten years.
And another thing you need to pay attention to is, what if your business improves in the future and the landlord becomes jealous and doesn’t want to rent to you?
He didn't say the first reason, but just gave a few sentences about the latter reason. He believed that after hearing what he said, Dad Lou would definitely want to buy it.
"What did you think about it, chef?"
"As for the chef, I want to see if I can invite Zhu Zhu over. Wouldn't he be able to cook Tan's cuisine? I want to make Tan's cuisine the main feature of the restaurant."
"It's not right, it's not right."
Xu Damao didn't expect that he would be rejected by Li Chu as soon as he finished speaking.
"Tan's food is indeed good, but have you ever considered how many people can afford it?
We still need to focus on Sichuan cuisine and make it affordable for the public. It's a good idea to invite Zhu Zhu, but you have to see if you can convince him.
Not everyone has the courage to jump out of an iron job, and he now has two children to raise."
These twists and turns in business are not something that a novice like Xu Damao can handle.
Although Li Chu didn't understand business operations, he had seen a lot in later generations. Even if he couldn't do it himself, he could still speak a few words.
Xu Damao's head was pounding after hearing this, and he said hurriedly: "Okay, Brother Chu, let my father-in-law come over and talk with you later."
"That's okay, but don't come here in a hurry. Let's wait ten days and a month and a half before talking."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm going to take your sister-in-law with me tomorrow, and we'll go live somewhere else for a while to relax." Lou Xiao'e couldn't hide the envy in her eyes.
She turned to look at Ding Qiunan: "Ah, Sister Qiunan, I envy you so much!"
"There's nothing to be envious about. There are too many things going on in our family during this time, so he wanted us to live somewhere else for a few days to change our mood."
Ding Qiunan just said a few words casually without going into details.
The purpose of Xu Damao and his wife's visit today has been achieved. Although Li Chu was not persuaded to participate, the effect would be the same if his nephews and nieces were present together with his wife and brother.
After sitting there until about nine o'clock in the evening, the couple left with satisfaction.
Back in the house, Ding Qiunan hugged her man from behind and asked, "Why did you let Jianguo get involved? Where did he get the money to do this?"
"Can't you just lend it to him? And if you think Jiayuan and Jiadong already have money, let's lend the money to the three of them."
Li Chu carried his wife behind him to the front and sat on the sofa.
Seeing her still frowning, I knew that this woman had always been very careful and didn't want to get too involved with her parents' family regarding money.
"Daughter-in-law, that's your brother after all. Sometimes we can't tell the difference too clearly. It's not like we gave it to him for free. The money we lent him was for him to write an IOU."
Looking at her husband's firm eyes, Ding Qiunan nodded, and then hugged him tightly.
That was her biological brother. How could she not want to help? She was just worried that if she helped too much, her husband would be unhappy.
So she has always been cautious, and her man has done a really good job.
If something happened to his parents' side, he would always take the initiative, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.
Just like the house they live in now, if Ding's father and Ding's mother had not firmly refused, it would definitely be registered in their names when the property rights were re-registered this time.
"Is it time to take a shower and go to bed?" Ding Qiunan raised her head from her man's arms and asked.
Okay, madam has an order, how dare you disobey it.
The four dogs, who had moved in because of the cold weather, pawed at the cotton pads under their bodies with some irritation.
Especially Bai Mao and Mao Qiu, they even purred twice.
Unfortunately, the protest was ineffective.
None of them can figure out why humans can't do this just twice a year.
And the two owners are together every day, oh, that's not right, they also have about a week's rest every month.
Alas, today is another sleepless night.
…
The next morning, Ding Qiunan didn't get up at all. Tian Jun drove Li Chu to the hospital, asked her for leave, and came back.
When they arrived at the nursing home, they were just in time to have lunch.
During this time, there were not many leaders living in the nursing home.
Before arriving in the morning, Li Chu also told them that the house has been arranged for them. It is a single-family house with very good privacy.
It's not far from where the old man lives, it only takes three to five minutes to walk there.
The old man was very happy that Li Chu and his wife came over.
Now when this guy chats with him, he dares to say anything, no matter how big or small.
