Rebirth of Prosperous Officials and Merchants

"Dad, how many people are there in the department store now?" Lin Xi asked.

After Lin Jiaqiang heard his son's words, he regained his spirits.Last time, his son agreed to help him find a solution, but these two days he was busy comforting the employees in the department store, so he didn't bother to ask Lin Xi about it.

"There are currently 26 salespersons in the department store, 16 management personnel, and three retired from illness, a total of 45 people." Lin Jiaqiang quickly replied.

During this period of time, he has been working on the affairs of the department store, and he is very clear about the relevant situation. It can be said that these basic situations can be said to be blurted out.

After Lin Xi heard this, he laughed lightly and said, "The salesman is 26, and the cadre is [-]. This cadre is more than two employees!"

Lin Jiaqiang could naturally hear the meaning of his son's words, his face became hot, but he didn't explain anything.This kind of situation exists not only in department stores, but also in other units, and he doesn't know how to speak up.

With a snap, Lin Jiaqiang lit a cigarette and said to his son, "Lin Xi, can you help me find a way, I'm completely lost now."

If Lin Jiaqiang's words are heard by outsiders, they must feel strange. You, a majestic county party secretary, can't do anything, what can you, a young man in his 20s, do!

"Dad, after I told you about this problem last time, I took it to heart. If you really have no other way, then I'll give it a try!" Lin Xi said seriously.

After Lin Jiaqiang heard his son's words, he breathed a sigh of relief.During this period of time, he could be said to have broken his legs because of the Qingyuan Department Store. Sometimes he even doubted whether he was the secretary of the county party committee or whether he had experience in the department store.

Although Lin Jiaqiang put in so much effort, there was still little effect. In the end, it even broke out that the employees of the department store surrounded the gate of the county party committee and the county government.

After a brief slack, Lin Jiaqiang suddenly came to his senses, and he asked Lin Xi: "Lin Xi, if you take over the department store, what are you going to do? and……"

"Dad, you are worrying too much! You are the secretary of the county party committee, not the manager of a department store. I can tell this clearly." Lin Xi said.

The meaning of what Lin Xi said was to tell Lin Jiaqiang that he was not going to take down the department store regardless of his care to help the other party.

After Lin Jiaqiang heard this, he put the teacup on the coffee table, and said, "I'm relieved if you can think this way, but if you take over the department store, what are you going to do?"

Although he said he was relieved, how could Lin Jiaqiang really feel relieved, he was asking Lin Xi's thoughts on the sidelines.

"Home appliances!" Lin Xi looked at his father and replied decisively.

"Appliances?"

"Yes, it's home appliances." Lin Xi said, "Dad, don't you think the county has changed a lot in the past six months? I believe this situation will continue. As time goes on, people's The money in hand will gradually increase, and by then, home appliances will definitely be very popular.”

After Lin Jiaqiang heard this, he looked at the TV in the living room through the half-closed door of the study.Although this is also in color, but the size is too small, I always feel that I am not comfortable looking at it in a hotel.

Even though he had such thoughts, Lin Jiaqiang was still a little uneasy. He looked at Lin Xi and asked, "You think it's okay to make home appliances, but if no one buys them, what will you do?"

After Lin Xi heard this, he thought to himself, how is it possible, from now on, white goods will gradually enter thousands of households and become the necessities of people's life.

Naturally, Lin Xi couldn't tell his dad about this situation, and besides, even if he told him, the other party couldn't believe it.

"Dad, since doing business, there must be risks. Take Dongsheng Furniture as an example, there is no risk here?" Lin Xi said, "Before, when I was going to open a Dongsheng branch near Fullerju, None of them liked the idea, but it turned out to be a good idea at the time."

In order to dispel his father's worries, Lin Xi could only talk about Dongsheng. He didn't want his father to worry about the home appliance store all day long.

After listening to Lin Xi's words, Lin Jiaqiang pondered for a moment, and said: "This is different from your Dongsheng branch. On the one hand, you have experience in making furniture, and on the other hand, there are people who help you with it. , you have no experience at all, and you don’t have a partner, if you lose money, not only you will be passive, but the county will also be passive.”

After hearing this, Lin Xi thought to himself, I am a monk halfway through making furniture, home appliances are my old profession, and I really don't need any partners in this business.

Lin Xi could only think about this matter in his heart, and couldn't tell his father at all.After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Dad, don't you have any confidence in your son? As for the county also being passive, don't you think the county is not passive enough?"

Lin Xi's words had two meanings. First, to make Dad believe in his ability; second, the county is already in a state of desperation, so what else is there to worry about?

After Lin Jiaqiang heard this, he looked at his son for a while, and then slowly took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table.Seeing this, Lin Xi picked up the lighter on the table and snapped it up to speed up the purchase.

After smoking two cigarettes in a row, Lin Jiaqiang said in a deep voice: "Lin Xi, if you insist on doing it, I can let you try it, but you must remember that you can't become a fat man by eating one mouthful, and you can't make a fat man by digging a bridge." A well."

"Dad, I get it. This can be said to be my second venture. I know it well, and I will never do anything reckless." Lin Xi said firmly.

Lin Jiaqiang took his son's performance into his eyes and nodded slightly. At least the other party didn't make this decision in a moment of enthusiasm. This is very good news for him.

"Lin Xi, it's not easy to do this. The only requirement of the county is to pay at least two months' wages to the employees of the department store." Lin Jiaqiang said in a deep voice.

The employees of the department store blocked the door of the county party committee and the county government. This incident not only caused an uproar in Qingyuan County, but even the city was concerned.The county party secretary Zhao Qingming and the new mayor Zhu Changxin called Lin Jiaqiang respectively, asking him to settle the matter in the shortest possible time and never hand over the conflict.

After two or three days of coordination in the county, the people in the department store saw that there was no substantial progress, and they had let it out. If the county did not solve the problem for them, then they would go to the city leaders to report the problem. That's why Lin Jiaqiang has been busy these two days until midnight.

After hearing this, Lin Xi frowned slightly. What he needs most now is money.When he was in Xucheng Wansha, the reason why he asked Sun Dongqiang and Li Jiajun to explore new mine veins was also to solve the funding problem as soon as possible.Money has now become a bottleneck restricting Dongsheng's development.

Lin Xi put the teacup on the tea table, and said to Lin Jiaqiang, "Dad, if I take down the department store and ask the bank for a mortgage, can it be approved?"

Lin Jiaqiang glanced at his son and said, "If it's other things, it's not impossible to do it, but now the department store is the focus of the whole county, if it's done like this at this time, it's easy to cause trouble."

Since they are father and son, there is no need to hide what they say, and both of them speak very straightforwardly.

After hearing this, Lin Xi frowned. Now the furniture store and the coal mine can only maintain their own operations with funds, and they can't draw any money at all, and the way of loan is not feasible.Lin Xi was really in trouble, where should the money come from?

Lin Jiaqiang saw his son's performance in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Xi, if you really have no choice, I will help you in the bank. It is definitely not possible to use a department store as a mortgage, but to use Dongsheng Furniture If you are in the city, it is feasible, but it seems that you have not paid off the loan before!" Regarding the matter of Dongsheng, when Lin Xi talked about it with his parents last time, he basically explained it clearly, so Lin Jiaqiang is very concerned about the matter. The situation is still very familiar.

After hearing his father's question, Lin Xi nodded and replied, "The 20 yuan was mortgaged by Dongsheng Qingyuan Store, and has nothing to do with the two stores in Minzhou."
