Three days later, on September 22, 2015, Lao Tan led Zhou Xiaomei, Gu Yi, Zhang Yu, and Wang Shulan on a plane to the provincial capital.
Three hours later, a group of five people arrived at Ah Qiao's new office building and sat in the brand-new reception room.
Welcoming them were Yanhua, Zhang Li, Zhongqing, Zhang Xiangdong, Li Shuang, Wang Hong, financial director Sister Xu, and three partners from the provincial capital.
Jining store owner Huang Lijuan had already reached a consensus with Wang Shulan, so she didn't come.
After some courtesy, everyone drank tea, and Zhang Xiangdong gave a brief and exciting introduction to the current situation of the company. In fact, he mainly introduced it to Gu Yi, Wang Shulan and the three partners, and the others were his own family members.
After the introduction, the young man then led everyone to visit the training center and R&D base, to see the working conditions in the office area, and then to the conference room and corporate culture center.
Finally return to the reception room.
Although the visit lasted only a short time, it left a profound impression. Everyone can feel that this is a thriving company with development potential and a bright future.
Zhang Xiangdong held a stack of printed and bound documents and said with a smile: "This is the document for our establishment of the group. It contains the group's articles of association and systems, as well as an overview of the strategy. Send it to everyone, one copy for each person. Please take a closer look.
, if there is anything inappropriate, please raise it directly and we will discuss and resolve it together at the meeting tomorrow.”
After handing out the document, when everyone was about to open it and read it, Yanhua said, "You can take the document back and read it. I guess everyone is hungry, so let's eat first."
The new office building is close to the old store, and the reception dinner was held in the old store.
The entire dinner was held in a harmonious atmosphere. Although it was not as large-scale as a regular investment fair, it was practical. In the words of ordinary people, it was called sincerity.
Gu Yi's impression of Ah Qiao has always been when the Taishan store opened. At that time, the four stores were the same as the situation in Hohhot now. He had thought about Ah Qiao's development before coming here, but he did not expect it to develop so well.
Just like a regular enterprise, it has its own office building, its own training base, its own R&D center, and its own corporate culture.
Although he and Lao Tan are good friends, Lao Tan rarely mentions these things.
He was shocked and admired by Ah Qiao now.
To be honest, he felt that his decision to become the general agent in Suzhou was a wise one.
He thinks so, and so does Mr. Wang and Wang Shulan.
This woman who had once been brilliant believed that she had not achieved such a career even when she was at her most powerful. She was shocked and at the same time affirmed her choice, determined to go on with Ah Qiao.
After the dinner, Lao Tan came home a little drunk. His son had already gone to bed. Lin Yan seemed to have just taken a shower and was about to go to sleep.
Seeing his wife, Lao Tan had the urge to chat for a while, but just as he was about to open his mouth, Lin Yan's indifference put the idea of chatting away.
Lin Yan just glanced at him, said nothing, and went back to her room.
An unknown fire rose in Lao Tan's heart.
I haven’t been home for nearly two months, and I haven’t even said a word of greeting. How can you not see such an adult standing here?
He wanted to get angry, wanted to call out the woman he called his wife, and even had the urge to rush up, grab her and beat her severely.
But no, he just watched her quietly as she walked into the house and closed the door.
The door was closed, and the inside and outside of the house became two strange worlds.
But soon the door opened again. Lin Yan held an unopened clothes box and put it on the sofa. She said, "It's your shirt. I'll try it on later to see if it fits."
Old Tan was stunned. If he remembered correctly, Lin Yan hadn't bought him clothes for ten years. She bought all the clothes she wore.
"There was a girl named Xiaohui in your store the past two days. She came with her partner and said they were getting married on October 1st. She brought you cigarettes and wine and put them in your room." Lin Yan
Said again.
Lao Tan regained his composure and said, "Well, we will participate together when the time comes."
"I may not have time. Our unit is busy on October 1st. We have to ship goods around the clock and can't even come back. You can represent me." Lin Yan said.
"Oh, that's okay too."
What Lin Yan said is true. The closer the holidays are, the busier their cold chain will be.
"After the August Festival in two days, I will go home and take a look." Lao Tan said.
"Go back. I don't have time. I can't go back. Jiaheng is on vacation------I'll ask the coach if he will go back with you if he doesn't practice." Lin Yan said.
"It's best for the three of us to come together." Lao Tan said.
"No, I don't have time." Lin Yan said simply: "I can't even go back to my mother's house." It means that if you can't go back to your mother's house, forget about yours. Then she said: "By the way, I will."
I’ve got a truck and it’ll arrive next month.”
Lin Yan said she wanted to buy a car, and Lao Tan agreed. She didn't expect to buy it so quickly, but she was a little surprised and asked: "What car?"
"Hyundai Jeep, 230,000."
"Okay." Lao Tan nodded.
"Our family has no money now. My eldest brother is buying Taiwanese goods------" Lin Yan said seemingly unintentionally but actually intentionally.
Lao Tan immediately understood what it meant - Lin Yan had used her family's money to support her eldest brother, and at the same time she knew that the money would never be returned.
"Oh, you didn't tell me?" Lao Tan was a little angry, but not seriously, mainly because of the sentiment of the shirt.
"Didn't I tell you this?" Lin Yan's tone was a little stiff.
Lao Tan's not-so-serious anger turned serious. He looked at his wife and said, "You should have told me in advance."
"I forgot about it at the time, and besides, you weren't at home either." Lin Yan's tone softened, and she felt a little guilty after all.
"Lin Yan, we are husband and wife. I don't object to you taking money, but I should know." Old Tan said seriously.
"Didn't I tell you this? It's not like my eldest brother won't pay it back." Lin Yan said without confidence.
"This and not are still two different things-----" Lao Tan suppressed his anger and said: "I'm talking about the two of us. Do you think it's okay to always be like this?"
"You mean divorce." Lin Yan seemed to have found a reason and distorted Lao Tan's meaning.
"You -" Lao Tan pointed at Lin Yan, so angry that he didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong with me? I know what you mean. I think it's good for us to do this. No one interferes with the other, isn't that good?"
"Okay?"
"I think it's pretty good. Okay, I'm sleepy. I need to go to bed. I have to get up early to cook for my child tomorrow. By the way, your son is playing basketball well and will participate in the city's primary school basketball game next month. Please encourage him tomorrow.
he."
After Lin Yan finished speaking, she went back to the house and closed the door completely.
Lao Tan stood in the living room in a daze for a long time. Finally, he let out a long breath and went back to the house without taking the shirt.
Because I was angry, I didn't know what to do in the house. I sat in front of the desk for a while. Feeling depressed, I went to the kitchen to find something to eat. When I returned to the house, I opened a bottle of white wine and poured a full glass. Then I turned on the computer and did whatever I wanted.
I found a hot movie and drank while watching it.
Gradually, I was attracted by the plot of the movie, and by the time I finished watching it, I had finished the bottle of wine.
A black car is running on the road.
Golden yellow, eyes full of golden yellow quickly retreated to both sides of the car, and the air drifting into the car window smelled of grain.
The fields on both sides of the road are golden, the mountains in the distance are golden, and even the river flowing under the mountains is glowing with golden waves.
Autumn is the most beautiful season in the countryside and the happiest time for farmers.
Three springs and one autumn are too busy. This is also the busiest time for farmers, and their busyness is filled with the joy of harvest.
Although many farmers no longer rely on the fields to make money, the autumn harvest still makes people obsessed and greedy. No matter what, they will leave two acres of land to plant corn or millet, and wait until the autumn harvest to put down their business.
, go to the fields to enjoy the autumn harvest.
Not for anything else, just because I am a farmer, and there is that golden color that makes people happy and touching.
Lao Tan came home alone this time. Because his son had to participate in a competition, the coach took advantage of the holiday to conduct training, so he did not come with him.
After the group meeting, Yanhua, Zhang Li, Zhou Xiaomei, and Zhongqing all advised Lao Tan to go to the hospital for a check-up and then stay in the hospital for a while. Lao Tan did not agree immediately, saying that he would go home to spend the holidays with his mother first, and then come back to participate after the holidays.
After Xiaohui and Xiaolong's wedding, she went for a check-up and was hospitalized according to the doctor's advice.
Everyone saw that what he said was serious and it made sense, so they didn't insist on it.
But Lao Tan’s real plan is to go directly to Yiyang, Hunan Province after attending Xiaohui’s wedding. He has already contacted a very good restaurant there and asked Zhang Yu to mail two white-striped sheep there in advance for convenience when he arrives.
some.
That restaurant is called "Rice Soup Taste" and it does very well. It has opened four restaurants in the small county town of Yiyang alone, and the business of each restaurant is booming. The most important thing is that his restaurant does not have a lot of money and has a completely open kitchen. This is worth learning.
.
As for his health, Lao Tan didn't think much about it. He was just 41 years old. Even if he was not good, how could he be so bad? Could he still be suffering from cancer?
When people reach forty, they are the time to start their careers. They are energetic and focused. Apart from high blood pressure, they have no major problems and no need to be hospitalized.
Now that the group has been established, there are many things waiting to be done. How can we stay in the hospital?
The development of the provincial capital has been finalized, and at most one more direct-operated store will be opened. Zhang Xiangdong is the agent here. From now on, he will be responsible for the cooperative stores in the Northeast District. If you have any questions, just talk to him directly, which saves worry and effort.
Zhang Li is the general manager of the Northeast District. I believe that with the cooperation of her and Zhang Xiangdong, the Northeast District can develop well.
The Northwest District is coordinated by Zhou Xiaomei and Mr. Wang. At the meeting, Mr. Wang proposed the idea of preparing to develop in Beijing. Regarding this, Lao Tan meant to stabilize it first and focus on Hohhot and surrounding cities this year and next.
After it is perfected, we will consider the Beijing market.
Compared to Beijing, Lao Tan values the South more. It is his ideal and goal to bring Northeastern dumplings to the South.
