No matter how stupid Silu Zhu was, he could still tell that Cao Weidong planned to support him, so he humbly asked for advice.
Cao Weidong saw Shazhu's cute appearance, so he chuckled.
"Silly Zhu, have you ever thought about going into business?"
"Going to sea to do business?"
"Yes."
Looking at Shazhu's confused expression, Cao Weidong asked again.
"Have you ever thought about the major trends in society in recent years?"
Shazhu said honestly.
"never thought about."
Perhaps this is the current situation of most people in this era.
Cao Weidong didn't care either.
He took a sip of wine and then analyzed it for Silly Zhu.
"The profits of state-owned enterprises have become less and less in recent years, and state-owned enterprises have raised too many employees, which has further diluted profits. Many benefits that were originally available have now been cancelled. Think about it, is this the case?
.”
"It seems like this. Even if we signed and completed all the processes and procedures, it would take a long time to reimburse us for medical expenses...Also, I heard a friend from another factory say that their unit paid
When I paid my salary, I issued an IOU and said it would take a few months to make up for it.”
Silly Zhu recalled.
Unknowingly, his face changed a little.
I usually didn't pay attention, but at this time I suddenly realized that the situation was more serious than I thought.
Cao Weidong continued.
"What do you think will be the final result if this continues? Besides, the country has been advocating a market economy and a free market. Under this economic model, what advantages do you think state-owned enterprises have?"
Under the guidance of Cao Weidong, Shazhu obviously also thought of some possibility, he said in a hoarse voice.
"This...should not be possible. This is a state-owned enterprise, and how can the state ignore us? After all, there are so many employees?"
"Impossible? Why is it impossible?"
Cao Weidong sneered.
In the original timeline, Cao Weidong was actually an eyewitness to the layoff wave, having watched his parents be laid off with his own eyes.
After losing their jobs, my parents actually had the idea of setting up a stall and doing a small business.
However, the contact was too late and the best opportunity was lost.
In fact, life after unemployment can only be regarded as barely enough.
This incident made him know that nothing in the world remains unchanged.
My mind breaks free from memories.
Cao Weidong continued.
"Silly Zhu, nothing is impossible. The opportunity I give you is to invest in you to open a restaurant."
"Open a store?"
"Yes, open a restaurant!"
In the original world of Siheyuan, Shazhu finally opened a restaurant and relied on this restaurant to become bigger and stronger. He was an excellent chef. Although he had weaknesses in his character, his strengths could not be ignored.
What Cao Weidong wants to do is to give full play to this advantage.
Shazhu said hesitantly.
"Can I do this?"
Cao Weidong smiled and said:
"I think you can, and I will give you financial support to help you open this restaurant, just like the restaurant opened by the Yan family."
"The Yan family's restaurant..."
Silly Zhu thought about his part-time job, and then thought about how he was reluctant to eat or wear clothes on weekdays, but the couple Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li had money to buy health care products, and they were also generous in spending money.
He was a little tempted for a moment.
However, the long experience of working in a factory made it difficult for Si Zhu to make this decision.
Cao Weidong didn't force him. He drank the wine in front of him in one gulp and then looked up at the sky.
"It's getting late. Let's get here today. I'll give you three days' chance. If you haven't made a decision after three days, you won't have such an opportunity in the future."
With his current net worth, he can no longer afford the income of a hotel.
The reason why I mentioned it.
It was completely a whim.
Opening a restaurant is not important to him.
But if Silly Zhu misses this opportunity, he doesn't know how long it will take before he encounters another opportunity.
Perhaps in the original world of courtyard houses, there was a Hong Kong businessman named Lou Xiao'e who would invest in him and open a store, but now, there is nothing.
Ignoring Silly Zhu who was thinking, Cao Weidong put down his bowls and chopsticks, walked to the backyard, took out the key, and opened the door of the inverted room.
He has not forgotten the main purpose of coming to the courtyard today.
His eyes looked around the room.
The decoration back then already looks very old-fashioned now, and there are still some stains from the past few years, making it even more dated.
Fortunately, the quality of the house is still very good and there is no damage.
Cao Weidong checked it over and walked out.
The third uncle happened to go to the toilet at this time, but as soon as he walked to the yard, he saw Cao Weidong walking out of the reversed rooms.
His expression was a little strange.
"Weidong, do you plan to move back?"
Cao Weidong waved his hand.
"No, I just came here this time to see if there is any damage or vandalism in this house. If there is, I will have to ask Qin Huairu and Banggen for compensation."
He had just bought a 3,000-square-meter courtyard house and planned to decorate it well and make it his permanent residence in Sijiu City.
As for this old house, just leave it vacant for the time being and sell it when housing prices rise in the future.
The third uncle thought to himself that all the good stuff has gone in, why are you still holding on to me? Your shrewdness is almost catching up with me.
Just after a second thought, he began to understand Cao Weidong again. His good house was occupied by others, why couldn't he claim compensation?
You can't think of yourself as unlucky just because you're an orphan and a widower, right?
Just putting myself into it, my blood pressure suddenly shot up.
Cao Weidong saw his patched clothes and said.
"Third uncle, it's time to change your clothes."
The third uncle has been used to it all his life, so he said nonchalantly.
"No, that's fine. I can still wear it anyway."
Cao Weidong smiled.
"It's wearable, but why don't you wear it better? Didn't your son make money by running a restaurant? Ask him to buy you some new cloth and then use it to make a new suit of clothes."
The third uncle's face froze, and he said a few awkward words about the scene, then hurriedly ended the topic and ran away on the pretext of going to the toilet.
His son Yan Jiecheng did make a lot of money by opening a restaurant.
But he never gave himself a penny.
Even if his wife wants to get some living expenses from him, she has to work in a hotel as a cleaner.
Moreover, these days, when my wife comes back, she lies in bed and keeps telling herself that she is tired from work and her body cannot bear it.
The third uncle was quite critical of this.
Life was difficult back then, and his income was not high, but he was able to raise several children by living frugally. Why don't today's children understand filial piety at all?
Moreover, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li bought a box of Sanxian Oral Liquid a few days ago, but they didn't get their own portion at all, which made the third uncle feel even more disgusted.
"It looks like we need to have a good talk with Yan Jiecheng. It won't work if we continue like this."
