In a blink of an eye, the new year has arrived.

Sixty-six years.

An era has begun.

Turmoil ensued.

Li Qiao relied on two big trees, the steel rolling mill and the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and was not affected.

He still went to work step by step, opened a shop, and ran the farm.

In the factory, he was the monitor and an outstanding employee. He was promoted twice in a row within three months, a record-breaking promotion rate.

In the store, he is the boss and supplier behind the scenes, earning thousands a day.

Today, Li Qiao owns three stores.

They are, Shenghe Grocery Store, Shenghe Antique Shop and Jingjiao Coal Factory.

Let’s talk about the grocery store first.

Shenghe Grocery Store has been renamed Shenghe Old Store, or Shenghe Main Store.

Li Qiao plans to build it into the future headquarters of Shenghe Group.

No matter how many branches he opens in the future, Li Qiao only needs to come here to control the overall situation.

Niu Dageng was directly appointed as the person in charge of Shenghe Head Office.

Xie Supply and Marketing and Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative are still the brand names to the outside world.

Li Qiao continued to remain anonymous and be the boss behind the scenes.

Shenghe first store and Shenghe second store have been approved. Li Qiao has visited the locations and is planning to choose a date to open.

Shenghe Antique Shop has gradually become famous and has a place in the antique circle of Sijiu City.

The coal plant in the suburbs of Beijing was also acquired and handed over to Han Laosi to take care of it.

The transportation brigade organized by Han Laosi is beginning to take shape. It not only transports the raw coal provided by Li Qiao to the coal plant every day, but is also responsible for pulling out the briquettes for sale.

It's winter, and the sales of briquettes are amazing.

Li Qiao provided 100,000 kilograms of raw coal to the coal plant at one time.

These raw coals can be made into briquettes after crushing them, adding clay, wood chips, and combustion aids.

There is still a large amount of raw coal in Li Qiao's system space, which is enough for the coal plant.

From the briquettes alone, the coal factory can provide Li Qiao with an income of thousands of yuan every day.

Coupled with the profits from the grocery store and antique store, Li Qiao's daily net income is now more than 2,000.

An income of more than 2,000 a day!

This is beyond most people's imagination.

…

New Year.

The steel rolling mill has a three-day holiday.

Li Qiao took advantage of this opportunity to open Shenghe First Store and Shenghe Second Store.

So far, Li Qiao has five stores in total.

They are, Shenghe Main Store, Shenghe First Store, Shenghe Second Store, Shenghe Antique Store, and Jingjiao Coal Factory.

After the opening of the first and second stores, the role of the transportation team became prominent.

Fortunately, Li Qiao made arrangements in advance and the transportation team was already ready.

Part of the transportation brigade organized by Han Laosi was arranged at the coal factory, and the other part was arranged at the Shenghe Headquarters.

Li Qiao only needs to store the farm supplies in the warehouse of the head office and have the transportation team deliver them to the first and second stores to ensure supply.

Fortunately, the warehouse in the backyard of the main store is large enough. Li Qiao can currently provide up to 100,000 kilograms of supplies every day, and the warehouse is more than enough.

After the opening of the first and second stores, Li Qiao's income also increased.

It used to be more than 2,000 per day, but now it has soared to 3,000!

With the business of the first and second stores on the right track, these two stores will be able to provide an income of thousands of yuan per day like the old store in the future.

By then, it shouldn’t be a dream for Li Qiao to earn five thousand a day!

…

The second day of New Year's Day.

After attending the opening ceremony of Shenghe Second Store.

Li Qiao and Niu Dageng took a tour of the store.

The second store is currently managed by Niu Xiaofeng, who plays a role similar to that of a store manager.

The first store was handed over to Niu Xiaolian.

They all came from old stores and were very good at taking care of the store, so Li Qiao felt at ease.

Coupled with the fact that Niu Dageng was in charge, everything was in order.

Li Qiao can just sit back and wait to receive the money.

After leaving the second store, Li Qiao and Niu Dageng rode back to the Shenghe main store.

Li Qiao asked Niu Dageng to increase training efforts.

There is a shortage of talent right now!

Once the branch opened, there was obviously not enough manpower.

Salespersons, tallymen, porters, cleaners, warehousemen, handymen, etc. are all in short supply.

"Don't worry, I have trained a batch of them and will put them on duty in the next two days!"

Niu Dageng said.

Li Qiao nodded, relieved.

Subsequently, Li Qiao began to write a letter to Xie Supply and Marketing, detailing the opening of the first and second stores, as well as accounting information.

After all, Xie Supply and Marketing is the person responsible on the surface. It would be unjustifiable if he didn't know anything.

Of course, the main purpose of writing the letter is to send money to Xie Supply and Marketing.

I gave away 300 yuan last time. Thanks to Supply and Marketing, they quickly completed all the procedures for the first and second stores.

Including the coal plant in the suburbs of Beijing, everything was completed at the same time.

I have to say that sometimes, money can really make a difference.

Of course, Xie Supply and Marketing is not just collecting money, he also wants to climb higher within the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

This is exactly what Li Qiao expected.

Therefore, both sides coincide with each other.

Li Qiao secretly helped Xie Gongpin get promoted, while Xie Gongpin provided convenience to Li Qiao.

Both sides get what they need.

Just like the big dragon and the little dragon in the guard department.

Li Qiao's idea is that as long as Xie Gongpin and Dalong Xiaolong can grow into big trees, then he can naturally "enjoy the shade under the big tree."

Of course, this is all for later.

…

noon.

Li Qiao rode back to the courtyard.

Since it was the New Year's Day holiday, the courtyard was extremely lively.

Plus today is a rare warm and sunny day in winter.

Adults and children are sunbathing in the yard.

Everyone was laughing and chatting, and it was very pleasant.

Li Qiao pushed the cart into the hospital and happened to meet Bangge.

The boy's health has recovered again.

"snort!"

When Banggeng saw Li Qiao, he snorted directly.

Obviously, this kid hated Li Qiao deeply.

Just think about it, how many times has he suffered bad luck at the hands of Li Qiao, ranging from losing money to being hospitalized at worst? He has almost become a permanent guest in the hospital.
