Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 947 See Long Zhanjun again!

It was already half past twelve when we came out of the city hall.

After declining Jiang Longyin's request to eat together, Li Yi rushed to a barbecue restaurant not far away with a few bodyguards.

It's not that Li Yi doesn't give face to Jiang Longyin, his second brother, it's mainly because he can see that Jiang Longyin's thoughts are no longer on him.

After hearing his idea of ​​treating infrastructure as a business, Jiang Longyin, who was troubled by the lack of funds for Kuncheng's infrastructure construction, seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

Since road construction can be done through attracting investment, can other infrastructure construction be done?

Jiang Longyin is a person with ideas and courage. As soon as he finished talking to Li Yi, he hurriedly called the heads of transportation, planning and other units over, obviously to discuss the feasibility of these ideas.

As for inviting Li Yi to dinner, he really had no choice but to propose it. After all, Li Yi was his brother-in-law and was here to give him advice. It was really unreasonable for him, the elder brother, not to entertain him properly.

Li Yi officially knew this, so he took the initiative to reject his invitation on the grounds that he had gone to see Long Zhanjun.

The main store of Grassland Fat Cow and Sheep Kuncheng is very close to the city hall, just around the corner.

After getting off the car, Li Yi looked at the large street-facing shop in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

Apart from various reasons such as time, Long Zhanjun was very discerning in choosing this place as his head office.

On the one hand, it is located in the city center, with convenient transportation and a large flow of people.

On the other hand, there is the city government not far away, and there are many banks nearby, which are all potential customers.

Although Li Yi hasn't entered yet, it can be seen from the rows of vehicles parked at the door that the store's business is good.

After Zhang Ziqiang and Xiao Wu parked their cars, Li Yi took them towards the store.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw two little girls in cheongsam coming up to them very enthusiastically, saying hello to them, and then welcoming them in.

Since it was dinner time, the store was almost full of customers.

From a distance, Li Yi saw Long Zhanjun busy at the bar. At this time, he was assisting the cashier to check out and collect money.

Seeing that he was busy, Li Yi did not go to him, but directly asked the waiter to find a quiet private room for them, and then started ordering.

The decoration of the store and the flavor of the dishes are not much different from those in Qiandu.

The only difference is probably that the beef and mutton used here are not authentic grassland beef and sheep, and because it is close to the sea, there are a lot more seafood in the dishes, and there are a lot more local drinks in the drinks, such as coconut water. , refreshing and cooling, etc.

It can be seen that Long Zhanjun has made major adjustments to the dishes in order to cater to local customers.

Not to mention the taste of beef and mutton, overall, this store is pretty good.

Li Yi and others were indeed hungry at this time. The five strong young men directly consumed five kilograms of beef, five kilograms of mutton, and a large amount of fish, shrimp and vegetables.

The only bad thing is that he didn't drink. Li Yi doesn't drink because he has a poor drinking capacity.

As for Zhang Ziqiang and others, they were not allowed to drink alcohol according to regulations because they had missions.

After eating and drinking, I saw that it was almost two o'clock.

Calculating the time, the store should be less busy now, so Li Yi took Zhang Ziqiang to the lobby.

Sure enough, at this time, more than half of the guests in the hall had left, and most of the remaining ones were almost finished. The waiters were clearing away the leftovers on the table.

Since there were several tables of customers waiting to check out at the bar, Long Zhanjun did not see Li Yi.

After the previous guests had settled their bills and left, Li Yi immediately stepped forward and said, "Check out the Chahar box!"

Long Zhanjun immediately picked out the bill marked Chahar's box from a dozen bills without raising his head, and then quickly counted.

“同志你好，你们一共消费68块8毛5钱外加1。6斤粮票，您给68块钱和1。6斤粮票就行了。。。”

While speaking, Long Zhanjun also raised his head.

When he saw Li Yi standing in front of him, he was stunned. . .

"Xiao Yi, you... why are you here? When did you arrive?"

"I've been here a long time ago. Seeing that you were busy, I ordered my own meal. I just finished eating!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"You came without saying anything in advance!" Long Zhanjun said with a smile.

"I'm not here specifically to see you, I'm just passing by!"

Then Li Yi said again: "Are you done? Can we find a place to sit for a while?"

"That's almost it. The remaining Xiao Liu and Xiao Huang can also be busy!" After saying that, Long Zhanjun handed the stack of orders in his hand to the two cashiers next to him, and then walked out of the bar. .

"I guess you haven't eaten at noon. Do you want to eat something first?" Li Yi said.

"No, I didn't eat until ten o'clock, I'm not too hungry yet!"

"Okay, let's find a quiet place to chat. Can you think of a suitable place?"

"Come to my office and sit for a while. It's quiet over there!"

"good..."

Later, under the leadership of Long Zhanjun, several people went directly to a room behind the hotel.

This is a specially separated room with a desk and chairs, a sofa and coffee table for guests, and even a single bed against the wall with a quilt folded into tofu blocks.

With just one glance, Li Yi understood that this room was not only Long Zhanjun's office, but also his living room and dormitory.

Obviously, for him now, this condition is somewhat difficult.

"Have you been living in the store all this time?"

Long Zhanjun poured water for Li Yi and said, "Well, it closes at almost 11 o'clock every night, so I'm too lazy to bother, so I just stay in the store."

"How is the situation here?" Li Yi asked again.

"pretty good!"

Then Long Zhanjun took out an account book from the desk drawer and said, "This is the revenue of several stores in the past six months. You, the big boss, should take a look!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "I won't read it. Just tell me the situation directly!"

"also!"

Then Long Zhanjun collected his thoughts and said: "We currently have a total of 4 stores in Kuncheng, two in Anning, one in Fuxi, and one on Yunman Street. The fifth store is also under renovation. , it is expected to open next month.”

"Excluding all expenses, these stores have made a total of 460 million yuan in the past six months, with an average profit of 115 million yuan per store..."

After Long Zhanjun explained the situation of several stores in detail, Li Yi nodded and said: "The development momentum is good, and the profit is also possible!"

Hearing Li Yi's comments, Long Zhanjun did not show a happy expression on his face, but looked up at Li Yi.

After a moment of silence, he then said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Yi!"

"Why did you say this suddenly?" Li Yi said.

"When I was on the phone with Nana two days ago, she said that you didn't seem to agree with the store's rapid expansion. It was my own decision..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yi said: "I really didn't agree with the rapid expansion of the shabu-shabu restaurant before. Mainly because I didn't want to be the leader and was afraid of being treated as the leader."

"But now, I've figured it out. There are some troubles that you can't avoid even if you want to. In that case, there's no need to hide them."

If the old man, Mr. Chen and others hadn't asked him to become an official, and if there hadn't been the gang of ghosts in Manguo who were ready to make a move, Li Yi might have continued to persevere.

But now that he has completely entered the sight of these big guys, and has even become an important part of the confrontation between Yun Kingdom and Man Kingdom, there is nothing to be afraid of.

As the saying goes, if there are too many lice, you are not afraid of being bitten. Compared with those troublesome things, this matter on Long Zhanjun's side is not worth mentioning at all.

Long Zhanjun sighed and said: "Originally, I only planned to open one store, then go to Guicheng, and then open another store there, but Chairman Jiang (Jiang Longyin) came to me and asked me to help him. Opening more stores is mainly because the government does not have a suitable place to receive foreign businessmen!"

"I also told him our concerns, including issues such as recruitment and supply of food and vegetables. Speaker Jiang said that this was a favor to the government. With the government's backing, they would solve those issues, so I continued in one breath. Opened 4 stores!”

Li Yi nodded and said, "Well, I understand. Now that the store is open, feel free to run it boldly."

"It's just that my third sister is going to give birth in a few months. What are you going to do?"

Long Zhanjun thought for a while and said: "Actually, I have been thinking about this during this time. It is not a problem for me to be here all the time, so my idea is to open a company specializing in catering. What do you think? ?”

Hearing this, Li Yi's eyes suddenly lit up. . .
