The other party's family had obviously arrived in Tianfeng City early, and they had arrived at the door of their house in just over half an hour.
A family of three came, and Li Dongliang, whom Li Jin still had some impression of, also came with them.
As soon as her cousin and the others arrived, Li Xiufang immediately came forward to greet them warmly.
It can be seen that the family of three were very reserved and nervous standing in the splendid villa, and they did not dare to speak too loudly.
The three of them, in particular, kept peeking at Li Jin, as if they had something to say but were hesitant to say.
"Hey, I heard before that A Jin is now successful and has made a lot of money, which can be considered as a blessing to our old Li family. I didn't expect to come over and take a look. It's really better than we imagined. This villa costs a lot of money, right?
"
Qian Lan, Li Dongliang's mother and Li Jin's cousin, said with envy.
Li Xiufang sat next to her, her smile full of uncontrollable pride. As long as others praised Li Jin, she would be happier than praising herself.
"Hey, this kid A Jin has gone through a lot of hardships to have such a small family fortune today."
"Actually, what is money without money? If you ask me, it's enough. If you make so much money, you can spend as much as you can."
Cousin Li Dongliang sat next to Li Jin and took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, a brand new and unopened hard-shell Zhonghua.
Obviously, they went all the way to buy it.
"Cousin, smoke." Li Dongliang respectfully brought the cigarette to Li Jin and said a little shyly.
Li Jin knew how to smoke, but rarely smoked. Seeing Li Dongliang's respectful and cautious look, Li Jin still took it and said with a smile: "What is Dongliang doing now?"
Li Dongliang hurriedly replied: "After graduating from college, I worked as a temporary worker in a county government department for two years and resigned in the second half of the year."
Li Jin nodded and was about to speak when Qian Lan interrupted and said, "A Jin, your cousin is a restless person who only wants to do business."
"Some time ago, I said I was interested in a store in the county and wanted to open a hot pot restaurant. You said that hot pot restaurant can be opened by ordinary people. This kid doesn't know anything, but he has a stubborn temper. He won't tell anyone.
He just resigned and said that if he didn’t open a store for him, he wouldn’t be able to live anymore.”
Li Dongliang insisted, "You don't understand, the hot pot restaurant I want to open is not an ordinary hot pot restaurant."
Li Jin became interested and asked: "Oh? What kind of hot pot restaurant do you want to open?"
Seeing Li Jin ask this, Li Dongliang's eyes lit up. He had been prepared for a long time. He took out a stack of photos and handed them to Li Jin. He said, "This is what I saw when I went to a big city when I was in college. Look.
,Are these hot pot restaurants very different?"
Li Jin took the photo and took a look at it, and immediately knew something about it.
Although the hot pot restaurant in the photo is not as unified and standardized as in later generations, we can already see the prototype of the first domestic hot pot brand.
It is Hai Lao hotpot.
A brand that truly brings the concept of service first into the catering industry.
"You want to open this hot pot restaurant? As far as I know, it doesn't accept franchises, right?" Li Jin asked with interest.
If nothing else, Li Dongliang is now very fond of Hai Lao Hot Pot, which proves that he has a business vision.
Li Dongliang said in surprise: "You also know this hot pot restaurant? It has four stores in the ancient capital city. Have you been there?"
"I've never been there, I heard it from my friends."
Li Jin said with a smile.
"Tell me first, how do you plan to drive it? Are you going to copy it exactly according to its pattern?"
