That evening, after dinner, Tongdao Xu was reading in the bedroom on the second floor of Ximen Road Internet Cafe No. 1.
Although he has many stores under his name now, including 1 barbecue restaurant and 8 Internet cafes, he has dedicated people to do everything. As a boss, he is much more leisurely than when he first started his business.
Reading in the bedroom like tonight has been the norm in his life recently.
This happens almost every night.
It feels like he has gone back to his student days and went back to his room to study after dinner. The difference from his student days is that he does not need to do various exercises when studying now.
There is no need to take courses that he is not interested in.
What he held in his hand was a Chinese language book for the first year of high school.
He bought this book a long time ago, but he was very busy last year and the year before that, so he is still reading this book now.
In fact, he had already read it once, but he felt that there was still a lot of content that he had not learned thoroughly, so he was not in a hurry to buy the textbook for the second year of high school.
He is not anxious about this kind of learning progress.
Because he knows that there is no limit to learning, and no matter how fast he learns, if he doesn't really learn it thoroughly, it will be of no use.
The bedroom is very quiet.
There was only the sound of him occasionally turning the pages of a book. From time to time, he would pick up the tea cup at hand and take a sip of tea, with a calm expression.
How should people live in this life?
This topic is too big.
If you usually talk about such topics when chatting with people, it will make people think that you are too fake, or too arrogant, and not down-to-earth enough.
But in this world, when a person is alone, he should still think about this issue.
No, Xu Tongdao, who had been reading for more than an hour, suddenly became distracted. He stared blankly at the hazy night outside the window, and for some reason suddenly started to think about this problem.
He remembered that in the article "How Steel Was Tempered", there was such a discussion about life: The most precious thing for people is life. It is given to us only once. A person's life should be spent like this: When he looks back on the past
At this time, I will not regret for wasting my years, nor will I feel ashamed for doing nothing.
This passage has always inspired Comrade Xu.
It was like this in the past life, and it is still like this in this life.
It was also because of this that in his previous life, he had been doing nothing, so he had been depressed, and his life was unhappy and unhappy.
And what about this life?
Looking at the night outside the window, Xu Tongdao asked himself another question: Now I should not be considered mediocre, so how should I live the rest of my life to make this life worthwhile?
This question is difficult to find an answer to.
Looking at the moon on the night outside the window, Xu Tongdao's mind flashed through the life aspirations of many male protagonists in novels, movies, and TV series.
The male protagonist has great suffering and deep hatred... His goal in life seems to be revenge.
And he, Comrade Xu... doesn't seem to have such an enemy. I'm really sorry, so this kind of life goal is not suitable for him.
The male protagonist with a strong sense of responsibility... his life's goal seems to be to protect his family and lover. This is more consistent with his character, Xu Tongdao, but... when he is asked to regard this as his life's goal, he frowns slightly and feels
…It seems like I’ve lost myself a little bit.
It is certainly right to protect his family and loved ones. He should take this responsibility and it is also what he wants to do.
But, am I, Comrade Xu, living my life completely for other people?
What about myself?
As a human being in two lives, can’t I realize my personal value?
Therefore, this should not be my life goal.
Then, he suddenly and inexplicably thought of the harem-oriented online novels he had read before. The male protagonists in those novels had different life goals, but in Xu Tongdao's view, the life goals of those male protagonists were actually very pure and very pure.
Simple - just sleep with a few more women.
…
After thinking a lot of random thoughts, Xu Tongdao's eyes returned to the book in his hand.
Smile at yourself.
Squinting his eyes slightly, he felt that he had found his life goal.
——While protecting your family, strive to stand out, like a shooting star, like a firework, you must always shine once.
Then he thought again: July is coming soon. According to the previous plan, during the summer vacation starting in July, he will suspend the expansion of the Internet cafe here.
Then...do you really give yourself a holiday this summer?
Time waits for no one, and the pace of struggle should not stop.
He thought of Daolin BBQ in Shazhou County, where he holds 90% of the shares.
He was thinking: Should he take advantage of this summer vacation to open a barbecue restaurant in the city? Or another restaurant?
He thought this matter could be considered.
There are many reasons.
For example: This summer vacation, the Internet cafe area will not expand. Idle time is idle, just like spanking a child on a rainy day. Anyway, there is nothing to do and you can kill time.
For example: He will definitely live in the city most of the time for many years to come. If there is his own barbecue restaurant or other restaurant in the city, then he usually goes to eat by himself or occasionally entertains others.
Very convenient.
Another example: The teacher said - eggs cannot be put in one basket. His current assets are too focused on Internet cafes. Although Internet cafes should be very profitable in the next ten years or so, what about ten years from now?
What about twenty years from now? You can't just sell all the Internet cafes in ten years, and then take the money and just sit there and wait to die, right?
Ten years from now, I will only be 29. Will I retire at the age of 29?
Now almost all of his assets are concentrated in Internet cafes. It's like jumping on one leg. Judging from the current situation, the speed of jumping is quite fast.
But this is definitely not a long-term solution.
If we also do catering, it will be like walking on two legs.
It will definitely be much more stable.
so……
Do it!
It's hard to predict the business of Internet cafes during the upcoming summer vacation, but the weather is hot during the summer vacation, so the barbecue business should do well.
Kebabs and beer are many people’s favorites.
Comrade Xu himself liked it too.
When a barbecue restaurant opens in the city, when you have nothing to do, you can also research other delicacies that are suitable for opening a chain restaurant.
Yes!
Now that he has decided to walk on two legs, he has no intention of making a fuss about catering...
After all, he was also a reborn person. Before his rebirth, he remembered so many national chain catering companies, all of which had become capital tycoons.
Speaking of which, if he can successfully start a national chain restaurant company, the future... may be much better than that of an Internet cafe.
However, this matter is a bit difficult for him.
Because of his current experience in running a barbecue restaurant, it seems that he is not suitable for opening a chain store. Barbecue requires too much personal barbecue skills, so he is not suitable for opening a chain store.
Fortunately, the barbecue technology was developed after he was reborn. He also has some skills and experience in cooking. If he studies it carefully, he should be able to come up with something else.
"Dong dong"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Dong Feifei's voice came from outside the door, "Comrade Xu, are you in there?"
