On the night he returned to Nanhai, Liu Gen told Chen Hao and Xiangzi about Shiweitian's future positioning and expansion plan adjustments. At present, Chen Hao, in addition to managing the operations of the two branches, is focusing on doing a good job in the cattle business in October.
Preliminary work for mutton sales.
Yanagi doesn't care about specific matters, but Chen Hao and Xiangzi will always come to Yanagi whenever they encounter problems that cannot be solved.
"Brother Gen, the initial cash flow from beef and mutton sales cannot be less than 300,000 yuan. This money needs to be in place by the end of September." Chen Hao mentioned the money.
"Yes, money is needed everywhere now." Liu Gen said with a wry smile: "You should calculate the monthly turnover of the two stores as soon as possible and apply for a loan from the company's bank." He had already given Wen Hanmei yesterday
The money was handed over to Chen Hao. On the 15th of next month, he will get 70,000 to 80,000 yuan from Wen Hanmei. In addition to the sum he got yesterday, he is still short of 200,000 yuan. The loan from the bank is
He could think of a way.
"But our second store has just opened, and the daily turnover of the two stores is less than 10,000 yuan. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the bank to lend enough funds." Chen Hao also agreed with Liu Gen's new positioning that food is the first thing, but
The reality is not as simple as imagined. He is worried that if there is too much debt, if the capital chain is broken, it will bring catastrophic destruction to Shiweitian.
"First ask how much I can borrow. If it's not enough, I'll find another way." Of course Liu Gen knows that banks also have to consider risks, especially for a new company like Shiweitian that has just started and doesn't see much future.
"Brother Gen, I have some savings on hand. If you need it, just ask. Although it's not much, it can still be used as an emergency." Qiu Ye had already learned from Chen Hao that the most difficult thing about making a living at the moment is cash flow. Such a big problem
He took over a beef and mutton business with only 200,000 yuan.
After listening to Qiu Ye's words, Liu Gen suddenly thought of financing methods. Yes, in addition to loans, financing can also be used. He knew that Qiu Ye's monthly income was considerable. In the past, it was mainly spent on her father's illness, but in the past
Her income should have a surplus every month. After one or two years, she should have accumulated a lot of money. Zhang Jian had already mentioned that he wanted to become a shareholder. At that time, the scale was small and he did not need too much money.
Liu Gen didn't agree to the money. Now that we've reached this point, if the bank can't lend that much money, we can consider letting Qiu Ye and Zhang Jian take shares.
That was what he thought in his heart, but Liu Gen said: "Thank you, I don't need it for the time being. I will talk to you when there is really no other way."
Xiao Subai returned home with a nervous and excited heart. Professor Xiao and his wife had not gotten up yet. She put the breakfast she brought back on the dining table, found a change of clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Finally, she was about to give her first time to the boy she loved deeply, and it was at her own initiative. Thinking about it, Xiao Subai felt that she was too proactive and too casual.
During the period of dating Yanagi, she hinted several times, but Yanagi always refused with various excuses.
There will definitely be a first time for this kind of thing. Every girl hopes to give her precious first time to the boy she loves.
There are also girls sleeping with boys around Xiao Subai, very casually, not thinking about the future at all, just to experience the joy of adulthood as soon as possible. This is a common phenomenon in society, and it cannot be said about those boys and girls who fall in love and sleep together.
It has become bad. In this kind of thing, there is no difference between good and bad. This is human instinctive freedom.
"Susu, please wash up quickly, I need to use the bathroom." Xiao Subai's mother knocked on the door and shouted outside the bathroom.
"Soon!" Xiao Subai replied and began to wipe off the water droplets on his body.
"It will be good after we get to the United States. We don't have to get up early in the morning to fight for the bathroom." Xiao Xiao was sitting at the dining table and had already started eating breakfast. The university that hired him had already prepared a spacious apartment for his family of three.
"I'm fine, Mom, you can use it." Xiao Subai came out of the bathroom and wiped her hair with a dry towel. She was not wearing pajamas, but the kind she would wear when going out.
"Are you going out?" The mother was attentive and noticed that her daughter was different from usual. It was a holiday and she didn't have to go to school.
"Oh..." Xiao Subai didn't dare to look into her mother's eyes. She lowered her head and wiped her hair: "I'm leaving in a few days. Some of my classmates in the past said they wanted to get together."
"Come back early. Xiao Li Feidao and his family have invited us to have dinner out tonight." Xiao Xiao said.
"Hey..." Xiao Subai responded and walked into her room. Suddenly, she felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart. It wasn't the kind of feeling guilty for lying, but it felt like she was about to do something big that would disgrace her parents.
She sat on the single bed she had slept on for more than ten years, looking at the room that was so familiar that she could tell where everything was when she closed her eyes. Suddenly, an unspeakable sadness surged through her heart, and her eyes filled with tears.
As if saying goodbye to these objects that had been with her for many years, she murmured to herself: "I'm going to start a new life..." She gently stroked the single bed with her hands, then slowly lay down on her side, her face showing
With a bitter smile, his eyelids blinked twice, and two bean-sized tears fell on the neat cartoon-patterned sheets.
Xiao Subai stayed quietly for a while, feeling a little calmer. Thinking that Liu Gen was still waiting for her in the store, she got up and put her bag on her back. She took one last look at the room and walked out to see only her mother sitting at the dining table. She knew her father was in the bathroom: "
Mom, I'm leaving." He walked to the bathroom door and knocked on the door: "Dad...I'm leaving..."
"Come back early." Xiao Xiao shouted loudly while shaving in the bathroom.
For Xiao Xiao and his wife, it was normal for Xiao Subai to put on her schoolbag and say goodbye to school in the morning. It was just like usual, and the couple didn't feel anything was different.
But for Xiao Subai, it was of great significance. Her farewell to her parents today meant saying goodbye to the pure body that her parents had protected in the past. It was like handing over the body and mind that they had carefully cared for for more than ten years to a boy. From then on, her body
No longer as if they belong to their parents.
Liu Gen's heart was no more relaxed than Xiao Subai's.
He began to regret that he should not have agreed to Xiao Subai so easily.
After Chen Hao and Qiu Ye left after breakfast, Liu Gen sat alone in the store, watching the diners coming in and out in twos and threes. Liu Gen was wondering whether he should continue to wait. He just wanted to tell the people in the store and let them know.
Xiao Subai had something urgent to do and left. Although that would make her very sad, it was better than occupying someone else's body.
However, another voice deep in Liu Gen's heart resisted his idea.
A man who dares to act boldly can break his promise and retreat at a time like this!
Liu Gen couldn't sit still, stood up and walked out of the store, taking a deep breath.
Hao Qiang was busy baking the steamed buns that needed to be sold today. He now started to take care of apprentices. Liu Gen also gave him a salary increase. He was cheerful all day long. When he saw Liu Gen standing at the door of the store, he asked in his hometown dialect: "Brother Gen,
What was the turnover of the new store yesterday?”
"More than four thousand..." Liu Gen answered and walked to the three ovens.
"There were so many on the first day, and the business will definitely be better than this store on Daxue Road in the future!" Hao Qiang said with confidence.
"Hope." Liu Gen smiled absently and asked, "Are you homesick?"
"Haha... I don't want to be lying, but I will call back every now and then. My parents know that I make more money with Brother Gen than selling steamed buns at home, so they never forget to tell me to work hard every time.
"
Hao Qiang's simplicity made Liu Gen always feel a special sense of intimacy towards him.
"In the future, you will be busier and busier, but during the Chinese New Year this year, I will let Xiangzi give you a few days off to spend time with your parents."
"Haha...Brother Xiangzi said the same thing. He also wanted me to learn how to make ovens in the future. He said that with more stores opening in the future, we can't just buy ovens from my hometown and transport them to Nanhai every time. The cost is too high..." Hao
Qiang likes to communicate with Liu Gen. In his eyes, Liu Gen is not like a boss, but like a big brother.
"Yes, we will make our own stove in the future." Liu Gen replied, but his eyes looked at the door of the Faculty and Staff House of the North Campus, and Xiao Subai did not come out yet.
"He just went on a business trip, of course he will come back." Liu Gen replied with a smile.
"From now on, food is our top priority, so we can use the sheep from the northwest to make sheep soup."
"Yes, the taste will be more pure." Liu Gen saw Xiao Subai and saw that she was wearing a denim skirt, a blue T-shirt, carrying her backpack, and a pair of sneakers on her feet without glasses.
Like a girl who is about to go on a trip, the swollen breasts on her chest are beating happily as she trots.
"I'm leaving." Liu Gen pushed the bicycle, said something to Hao Qiang, and walked towards Xiao Subai. The strange thing was that at this moment, his heart was no longer wandering, he was very calm, and he had a sense of pride and no hesitation.
.
"Brother Gen, have you been waiting for a long time?" Xiao Subai was still a little flustered when he went out. It can be seen that after seeing Liu Gen, he left the unspeakable sorrow behind him.
"Professor Xiao and Teacher Bai..." Liu Gen smiled and stared at Xiao Subai's eyes, wanting to ask her how to tell her parents.
"I told my parents that I wanted to get together with my classmates." Xiao Subai answered with a shy blush on her face.
"Do you feel uncomfortable lying?" Liu Gen got on the car, Xiao Subai sat behind, and started heading towards the Nanhai University Apartments.
Xiao Subai put her arms around Liu Gen's waist, rested her head on his lower back and responded with a hum.
Even though it was morning, the scorching summer sun was unbridled and scorching, and the sycamore leaves on the roadside looked as if they were waiting for the cool breeze, making them look dejected.
Liu Gen soon broke out in sweat: "Susu, if you change your mind now..."
"No, I won't change my mind." Xiao Subai interrupted Liu Gen and hugged his waist tighter: "Is the apartment you live in Nanhai University?" She noticed that Liu Gen was riding in the direction of Nanhai University.
"Yes." Liu Gen replied. On his lower back, he could feel the hot breath exhaled from Xiao Subai's mouth, which felt a bit comfortable. His body's reaction was against the seat cushion of the bicycle he was riding, that kind of full and slight friction -
