It was three days before I returned to Kyoto again. The time on the return trip passed faster than the time on the way there. After all, there were Li Hailong and others chatting with me to kill time.

Xu Damao gave a detailed introduction to their work and wages.

When everyone first heard that Xu Damao asked them to go to the video studio to maintain order, when they went to the alleys of Kyoto to buy scraps, everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. Some people already regretted getting on the train to Kyoto.

But when they heard that the salary Xu Damao gave each of them was eighty yuan a month, those who regretted it were so excited that their previous thoughts disappeared without a trace.

This is more than twice the monthly salary of workers in any state-owned enterprise they know of.

As for their boss, Li Hailong, the salary given to him by Xu Damao was exactly double that of others, up to 160 yuan a month.

When Li Hailong heard about it, he immediately wanted to say that the price Xu Damao gave him was too high, but in the end he couldn't insist on what Xu Damao meant and didn't say anything.

Xu Damao is not stupid to give Li Hailong such a high salary. After all, Hu Damao, Hou Xiaoliu, Li Ergou, Zhu Xiaosi, and Zhang Xiaohu are his Li Hailong's younger brothers. He will be responsible for restraining a few people.

There won't be any trouble.

Li Hailong's job is also more comprehensive than the others. He needs to be responsible for replenishing goods in department stores, frequently updating video tapes in the video hall, and sorting the waste collected by others every day.

Xu Damao trained him as a CEO, so that he could help him do more things in the future.

Li Hailong was deeply afraid that he would not be able to complete the many tasks assigned to him by Xu Damao, so he even backed down in the car.

Fortunately, Xu Damao promised that even if he couldn't do it well, it wouldn't matter. He was the boss behind to help him see if there were any problems and he would help deal with them, so Li Hailong agreed to these tasks.

After arriving in Kyoto, Xu Damao took Li Hailong and others to a two-story small foreign-style building.

Instruct them to rest here for the next two days. Anyway, the space upstairs is enough for them.

He plans to find someone to customize special cabinets, etc. The department store he opens needs different needs from others.

When he opened his store, he had to give everyone a big shock. Before leaving, he also gave Li Hailong and the others a task, which was to completely free up the space on the first floor.

All unnecessary garbage was cleared out, and after they had rested, they began to work.

Xu Damao found a famous carpenter in the alley, invited him to the shop and asked him to customize the kind of cabinet he wanted according to his own ideas.

The cabinet must comply with your own requirements, and of course the glass display window for children must also be made as you drew it for them.

Put some things in the glass display window that children can see. Children are not very tall. The glass display window allows them to see the products clearly. Then they can just use their fingers to take it out and let the waiter take it to them.

Convenient and fast.

······

In this way, Xu Damao and the others had a very fulfilling first day back. Sanitation was taken care of, and a carpenter was invited to finalize the design shape.

When the sunset came out, they had completed their first day's work.

Xu Damao planned to take Li Hailong and his party of six to a luxurious stay in the evening, and booked the most famous Kyoto Roast Duck Restaurant in Kyoto to welcome them.

At the dinner table, Xu Damao promised that the six of them would find a place to live for them soon, and they spent the next two days huddled in the two-story western-style building.

Li Hailong and others also expressed that the space on the second floor was okay and not crowded at all, so Xu Damao should not spend money.

But what they didn't know was that Xu Damao planned to keep the second floor for himself, and now they had no choice but to let them rest on the second floor.

After all, the department store is where Xu Damao spent all his savings and the beginning of his business. It is impossible for the store not to be occupied by people.

If one day I accidentally attract a thief, I will be ready to cry without tears.

Before opening the business, we must help them find a courtyard house to live in. It is best to buy a courtyard house so that the rent can be saved.

······

In the following days, Xu Damao and Li Hailong began to decorate the first floor of their shop in detail. Everything was in accordance with the more avant-garde decoration style of later generations.

Xu Damao chose white as the main paint color in the house, and Li Hailong and the others hired cement workers from the street to lay tiles on the floor, which would be very convenient for cleaning.

Of course, Xu Damao spent a lot of money to order a batch of energy-saving light bulbs. At this time, only light bulbs, like later generations of light tubes, had not yet been thoroughly developed.

These are all foreign goods worth ten yuan!

When Li Hailong and others bought it, they were very careful not to break it.

More than ten days passed like this, and the news that Xu Damao was going to open a department store quickly spread throughout the alley.

There are many neighbors walking up and down the street every day. When they see Xu Damao busy, they will ask him what he is doing here.

Xu Damao is also very high-profile, saying to everyone: "Ah, I have purchased the entire store and plan to open a department store. I hope you will come and support me when the time comes."

In this way, word spread, and by now the neighbors knew that Xu Damao had acquired the money from who knows where, and actually bought the previous photo studio.

If you want to open a department store, let this guy do what he can.

This news soon reached Lou Xiao'e's ears. She didn't believe it, so of course she ran directly to the street where Xu Damao's shop was and made an observation.

This observation really revealed that Xu Damao was busy there with a few people she didn't know. Looking at the small foreign-style building on the second floor, she didn't believe that it was actually bought by her ex-husband?

She even went to the teahouse where Xu Damao had tea to inquire about the situation, and the final result was that Xu Damao really bought the two-story western-style building opposite.

The waiter in the store even told Lou Xiao'e the news that Xu Damao was about to open, and looked at the busy two-story western-style building.

Lou Xiao'e really felt a trace of regret in her heart, but what made her wonder next was that didn't all Xu Damao's money belong to her?

Could it be that he built a small Western-style house with only half of the chickens, ducks, geese, rice, flour, etc. in the warehouse?

This is simply impossible. The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong.

She couldn't just let Xu Damao open the store so easily. Having married Xu Damao, she knew what Xu Damao was like.

Even if I open a store, it is probably done on a whim, and the relevant procedures must not be completed comprehensively.

Lou Xiao'e planned to report Xu Damao to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau the day before he opened his business. As long as his business failed, Xu Damao would never let himself regret it.

Sometimes this woman can be ruthless and indeed hold more grudges than men. Seeing Xu Damao slowly getting better.

Lou Xiao'e felt uncomfortable. She would not let herself regret it easily.
Chapter completed!
