1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 330 Acceleration

Since 1990 million yuan could be invested in 1.3, the area of ​​this so-called commercial demonstration zone created by Yang Mo could not be small.

In fact, due to the commitment of the competent authorities, as long as Dahua Company is willing to build buildings in this almost wasteland in the northern suburbs within the next three years, and these buildings are truly used for office, commercial, production and residential purposes, and the building density is not less than 15% but not more than 50%, then in the event of conflict with the subsequent planning of other industrial parks, the areas covered by these buildings can all be designated as industrial land of Dahua Industrial Park.

This is a policy that is enough to make future generations jealous to the point of going crazy. Its preferential policies are so great and its flexibility is so exaggerated that it is not much worse than the policy that a certain richest man in Hong Kong received in the early days.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Dahua Company, which owns the 30-year operation and management rights of the industrial park, is willing to convert all of the 600 million yuan it promised to invest this year into construction to acquire the land, then in two or three years, this central enterprise will become the largest "landlord" in DZ City in terms of industrial land.

But perhaps it was because of a series of experiences after his rebirth that Yang Mo's mentality had changed a lot. Although he knew that industrial land in the old city of Dezhou would be in short supply in the future, as long as he used the policies and rules reasonably, he could definitely get a huge golden rice bowl once and for all and make a lot of money without doing anything, but he did not intend to be so shameless.

........................

Two days later, several people quietly appeared at the beginning of the commercial district.

Looking at this simple building complex that was somewhat similar to the layout of a commercial street in later generations, but also very different, Yang Mo nodded without comment.

"Old Tan, we have already increased your budget, and the labor company has also urgently added manpower to you. How long will it take to complete the construction of Commercial Area 1?"

Yang Mo turned his head and asked Qin Xin beside him, but his eyes were always fixed on the groups of workers who were sweating profusely, and the nearly 100 half-repaired red brick houses in the back half of the street.

Hearing Yang Mo's calm tone, Qin Xin, who was in charge of coordinating and supervising the construction of the commercial demonstration zone, trembled his lips, knowing that the boss was somewhat dissatisfied with the current progress.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Xin said with a bitter face: "Chief, it will take about 20 days for Commercial Area 1 to be fully built."

20 days?
So it’s the end of the month?
It's better to be safe than sorry. If the situation changes in the middle, it will be troublesome!

Yang Mo frowned, his tone somewhat unhappy: "Why does it take so long? Didn't the Fifth Farm urgently send over 200 workers here? Qingfeng Food also recruited over 300 more social workers from DZ City... Adding the previous workers, there are more than 3700 people in total, and you tell me it will take another 20 days to repair it!?"

At the end, the voice became stern.

Qin Xin shuddered, his face more bitter than a bitter gourd: "Chief, although more than 500 people were urgently dispatched, the manpower has been greatly supplemented, but... now we are working in three shifts. If we want to speed up the construction period... it's unrealistic!"

Qin Xin swallowed his saliva and said, "Our commercial demonstration area is already large. In addition to the commercial area 1, there are also commercial areas 2 and 3. The total number of houses that need to be built in these three areas is more than 1,200;"

"In addition, there is also the first phase of the storage area, which includes four large warehouses... Although three of them are ordinary warehouses that are not difficult to construct, there is one that is a high-standard frozen warehouse!"

"Okay, according to the plan, whether it's the commercial area 3 or the two ordinary warehouses in the storage area 1, the construction period can be appropriately postponed. It will be fine as long as they can be completed before August... But in addition to these areas, there is also a commodity distribution area that needs to be built!"

"According to your plan, this commodity distribution area is the top priority. It covers an area of ​​161.2 acres and needs to build more than 630 shops."

"In addition, there are four comprehensive service buildings, a 10-acre outdoor comprehensive leisure field, and three asphalt roads connecting to the main urban area... With so many projects starting at the same time, even if we follow your request to keep everything simple and even if thousands of workers work around the clock, it will be the limit to complete it before the end of the month!"

Qin Xin looked at Yang Mo cautiously as he spoke: "According to your request at the time, these areas must be closely connected, and the building density must be maintained at around 40%. For example, the building density of commercial areas 1 and 2 used for diversion and demonstration needs to reach 50%. Only in this way can we create the atmosphere you want."

"But once the building density is raised, the distribution of various materials becomes a big problem. When the road traffic facilities are still not perfect, the difficulty of work deployment and the danger of workers' operations also increase sharply..."

"Chief, I'm not trying to shirk responsibility. The objective difficulty is that in the narrow and long space layout of Commercial District 1, even if I ask all the workers to rush over to work, the progress will not be much faster under the condition of poor supply of materials."

"What's more, you emphasized at the beginning that each functional area is a whole. If any one of them is missing, the effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, when arranging the work plan, there should be a sequence so that the work can be basically completed at the same time... If the focus of work is suddenly shifted to Commercial Area 1, it may disrupt the work plan and cause chaos or even accidents. It's not worth it!"

Looking at the uneasy Qin Xin, Yang Mo hesitated for a moment and nodded very confidently: "I was confused, you are right, since the plan has been made in the first place, it cannot be changed at will, otherwise it will easily cause trouble... Old Qin, I'm sorry!"

As he said this, he patted Qin Xin's shoulder, gave an apologetic smile, and handed him a Red Panda as an apology.

Qin Xin was flattered to take the Little Panda, then took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for Yang Mo, then put the light to his lips.

Logically speaking, he is now a section-level cadre. Although his position is half a level lower than Yang Mo, they are on the same level in terms of professional title. He would never be so servile in front of this section chief who is nearly ten years younger than him.

but……

He couldn't help but fear Yang Mo deep down!

This was not only because he had become Yang Mo's de facto younger brother after he and He Yongyi had taken over a bunch of extremely important tasks years ago, but also because this young section chief who had risen to the top in just over a year had a series of impressive achievements.

He's been up and down three times in just one year, and now he's directly cutting off the lifeblood of the drilling company... How can this person be an ordinary person?

Not to mention him, even the vice presidents in the company feel guilty when they see Yang Mo, for fear that they might accidentally offend this god of wealth who controls half of the company's life and death... Although General Manager Wang is in charge of the overall situation, they are still counting on this guy to give the company a transfusion to tide over the difficulties. If you offend him and say a few sarcastic words to him, I guarantee that a bunch of guys who want to protect the interests of their own faction will jump out to make trouble for you.

Besides, Qin Xin, who has been staying in Texas for more than a month, knows very well what happened in Dahua Company.

As a small section-level cadre, he not only controlled the more than 700 employees of Dahua Company through a series of means, but also recently he had a conflict with the bigwigs in Dongying, and seemed to be ready to fight to the death.

This is crazy...

Wouldn't you be afraid if it were you?
Yang Mo didn't care about the attitude of the "former manager of Qintai Company" who had lived there for more than ten years. After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said, "Okay, Lao Tan, you go ahead and do your work. I'll figure out a way to deal with the business district. Remember what you said just now. Don't speed up the work because of my slip of the tongue. The personal safety of the workers must be put first!"

Qin Xin nodded vigorously when he heard this. No matter when, a safety accident is always a top priority. Although construction, like oil drilling, actually has "indicators", it is still delicate to avoid accidents if possible.

His feet moved slightly, and Qin Xin listened again: "But Boss, although I don't know what happened, I can see that you want to start the commercial area as soon as possible... If the construction period remains the same, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate?"

Qin Xin hesitated for a moment and said softly, "How about I go and do some ideological work with the workers and coordinate with the team to speed up the construction of Commercial Area 1?"

Yang Mo laughed and scolded, "Get lost! Look carefully for yourself, which of these workers has been lazy for even a moment? They are working very hard for us, and you still want to persuade them to do ideological work? Even black-hearted capitalists can't do this... Go away! Stop giving bad advice, and just take care of the workers' personal safety and work scheduling!"

Yang Mo paused for a moment, then patted Qin Xin on the shoulder: "Old Qin, I know you are worried about me, thank you... but don't be afraid, I do want to start the commercial area 1 as soon as possible, but... think about it another way, it is not necessary to wait until the commercial area is fully built before starting it."

As he spoke, he pointed with his chin: "Look, aren't there dozens of stores in the first commercial area already in trial operation? We can also try our hand at trial operation!"

Looking in the direction Yang Mo pointed, Qin Xin glanced at the businesses that had already started listing their products and was a little confused.

These are just a small part of the merchants invited by Momo Baichao.

Momo Baichao has invited many merchants to come over, most of whom are old customers with special skills and whose character has been screened.

Since the Commercial Area 1 had not yet been completed, most people were either still doing other jobs in the city or starting to carry their loads to the accommodation areas of the employees of Dahua Company and those tertiary industry offices to sell their goods. Only those who were not suitable for selling goods but could not find jobs in the city for the time being would, with the help of Qingfeng Food, start trying to do business in those already repaired shops.

To this end, Qin Xin also specifically ordered that the front 1/4 section of the commercial area be capped and renovated in advance to accommodate these people.

only……

What can you do with just over thirty shops?
Qin Xin looked at Yang Mo with some doubt and found that the boss had no intention of explaining, so he could only nod, greet him, and quickly walked towards the simple row house not far away.

He is really busy now. No matter what the boss says, his work will become even busier when Yang Mo expresses his intention to put Commercial District 1 into use as soon as possible.

Moreover, he is relatively familiar with Yang Mo's style. Compared with trying to please him, you might as well do your job well and win the favor of this boss.

Seeing Qin Xin leave, Yang Mo turned around and said hello to his apprentice and Su Yu next to him: "Let's go, let's go check out those shops."

………………

Ten minutes later, the three of them stopped at the door of a shop, looked at the dirt road behind them with two deep grooves left by cars, looked at the sign that read "Fengxian Cangzhou Hot Pot Chicken", and nodded.

"What a coincidence! I'm a little hungry now. Let's go and try to see if this famous Cangzhou hot pot chicken is authentic... I'll treat you!"

Yang Mo said to the two people behind him with a smile, and then took the lead in lifting the plastic bead curtain that was very characteristic of the era.

Students from the south or northwest may not have heard of the name of Cangzhou Hot Pot Chicken, but it is not unfamiliar to people in the three provinces of the Central Plains, or even the four provinces of Shanhe.

This is a Cangzhou delicacy that originated from the Bashu spicy hot pot, but was improved and integrated with chicken. It is a bit like spicy dry pot chicken and a bit like braised chicken.

Yes, it’s Cangzhou in Hebei.

This may break the perception of southerners. In fact, as early as the 1s and 5s, many areas in the three provinces of the Central Plains were able to eat spicy food. Although the level of spicy food at that time was far from comparable to that of later generations, driven by some cities, about 1/4 to / of the areas could actually eat mildly spicy or even moderately spicy dishes.

The hot pot chicken in Cangzhou and the spicy chicken in Lanling obviously played an important role in this. After entering the door, a woman in her forties immediately came up to greet him warmly. After Yang Mo ordered a small pot, he looked at the two tables of guests in the store with some surprise.

He thought that in Commercial District 1, which was like a large construction site, and it was not yet the official lunch time, a restaurant like this should not have a single table of customers.

Speaking of the teapot that the lady boss brought over, Bai Mengmeng first carefully observed the hygiene of the teapot and cups, nodded slightly, and then poured a cup of tea for his master: "Master, it seems that the training of the Park Comprehensive Management Company is quite good. These teapots and cups are washed very clean, without tea stains and oil stains. The layout of the store also strictly abides by the principles of ventilation, convenience, and non-intersecting traffic lines."

Yang Mo nodded. These things were originally written in the catering classification training manual under his guidance. It was not uncommon for his subordinates to pass them on verbatim during training.

Seeing his master's noncommittal look, the young apprentice thought for a moment and continued, "The staff of the consulting office obviously put a lot of thought into the project screening."

"First of all, the name of the sign is well chosen. Nowadays, unless it is a roadside food stall, no matter whether it is a Chinese restaurant or a hot pot restaurant, it will generally only use a name like [Fengxian Hot Pot Restaurant]. Unless consumers go into the store to consume, they have no idea what special dishes are there, nor do they know whether the dishes are to their taste... Marking the owner's name and special dishes on the sign is not only easy to remember, but also allows customers to quickly determine whether the store is worth entering."

Yang Mo nodded, but his expression didn't change: "This practice has been popular in some areas in recent years, it's not really an innovation."

Bai Mengmeng nodded: "But the fact that the Cangzhou Hot Pot Chicken project was selected means that the staff below really put in a lot of effort."

"First, Linyi County and several surrounding counties already have a large-scale 817 broiler industry. With the support of a huge industrial chain, opening chicken-related projects has inherent cost and quality advantages... This is a benefit from the perspective of the operator."

"Secondly, from our perspective, the 817 broiler industry has many subdivided varieties. In addition to broiler varieties with enhanced breasts and legs for supplying raw materials for chicken steaks, broiler varieties used for braised chicken production, and special varieties used for medicinal egg production, there are another six or seven varieties that have just been hybridized and are beginning to test the market... Using different catering projects to try to build different usage scenarios actually has good market value for us."

"Of course, the above two considerations are nothing. Anyone who has received a little business training can understand the reason. What's more, the staff of the consulting office are elites drawn from Xialiu Marketing Agency and Qingfeng Food... The idea of ​​relying on the mountain to make a living is not uncommon to them."

"However, when most people in Shandong and Qilu cannot eat spicy food, it is different to dare to approve a project like Cangzhou Hot Pot Chicken."

"If I guess correctly, on the one hand, they want to borrow the successful experience of Momo Baizha and use the addictive nature of spicy food to gradually attract customers through taste, thereby avoiding the disadvantage of the remote geographical location of Dahua Park as much as possible;"

"On the other hand, this spicy hot pot product is more suitable for dining with friends, and it is more effective in promoting friendships... Regardless of whether it is driven by the spiciness, once people have experienced this lively dining and conversation experience, they will have a psychological comparison with the light food environment and finally choose it again... This is the scene stickiness advantage of hot pot chicken."

"But the most important thing is that I ate a lot of spicy hotpot or dishes when I was in Guizhou. Comparing it with the life in Qilu for more than half a year, I deeply feel that the consumption desire for spicy dishes and non-spicy dishes, such as beverages, alcohol, and subsequent dishes, is completely different."

"So, the staff of the consulting office dared to approve the hot pot chicken project in Dezhou, where people don't like spicy food... It's obvious that they want to rely on the catering project to try to expand more product usage scenarios and build more distribution channels for the products."

At this point, Bai Mengmeng looked at Yang Mo seriously: "So, Master, I sincerely suggest that you ask someone to reward the employee who is responsible for auditing this store... These days, there are really not many employees who are willing to take risks and think so much about the company!"

Hearing this, Yang Mo laughed: "That's right! I'll ask someone to ask who is responsible for auditing this store. He should be rewarded!"

In later generations, catering channels were regarded as a battleground for many products, especially alcohol and beverages. But in fact, the value of catering channels was not discovered and truly valued until after 98... Before that, everyone's eyes were only on supermarkets and stores.

So, judging from the attentiveness to the details, the staff responsible for the project review of this store did use their brains. This incident also proves once again that there is no shortage of talents at the grassroots level, but a lack of eyes that can discover their talents.

………………

Perhaps because there were not many customers during this period and the ingredients were not prepared enough, it took more than ten minutes for the hot pot chicken ordered by Yang Mo and others to be served.

Looking at the so-called "small pot", which was actually almost full of chicken and various vegetables, the corners of Baimeng's eyes couldn't help but twitch.

Are you sure... this is a small pot?
Damn, this is enough for five people, let alone three!

Looking suspiciously at the lady boss who was helping everyone light the fire, the little girl couldn't help but ask: "Boss, did you put the wrong one... This seems to be the big pot, right?"

The proprietress glanced at the iron pot and looked at her in surprise: "It's a small pot, that's right!"

Yang Mo gently lifted his little apprentice with his foot, signaling her not to embarrass herself.

This girl is from the south and she has hardly eaten out since she joined the drilling company. Naturally, she doesn't know how big the traditional serving size is in the north.

After seeing his young apprentice shut up obediently, Yang Mo watched with interest as the proprietress took out a pair of disposable chopsticks directly supplied by a tertiary industry unit from her apron pocket, tore off the outer plastic film, picked up a piece of bean sprouts from the bottom of the pot full of oil and soup, gestured to everyone, and then put it into her mouth.

"Eh? Madam Boss, what are you doing?"

Yang Mo asked in surprise, like an ignorant young man.

The proprietress chewed the bean sprouts twice and swallowed them. Then she smiled and explained, "My three guests, you may not know this. The news said that many places are using sewage oil to cook in order to save costs...Will you have diarrhea if you eat that?"

"So, in order to make the guests feel at ease, the garden has a rule that all dishes made by each household must be eaten by the owner in front of the guests... This is called verification of authenticity!"

"In the past, only the emperor had this treatment. With this rule in place, no store in the park dares to use oil recklessly... Think about it, it's only because there are fewer customers now. If there were more customers, everyone would eat with chopsticks and their stomachs would be full of oil. If they dared to use dirty oil, wouldn't they be sent to the hospital the next day?"

As she spoke, the proprietress looked at the three people with pride and said, "So, if you come to the garden in the future, just feel free to eat boldly. If you encounter a boss who dares not to eat the first bite of the chopsticks, or even a boss who dares not to give you disposable chopsticks, go to the complaint office in the comprehensive management building and file a complaint! I guarantee that the complaint will be successful. Not only will the store be severely fined, but you can also get a bonus on the spot!"

"Besides that, have you seen our kitchen? Except for the small grid for frying ingredients, the rest is all made of transparent glass... This is a mandatory requirement of the park. If guests find that the kitchen is not clean from outside, they can report it immediately, and they will be punished if they report it!"

Hearing this, Yang Mo nodded with a smile.

Of course he knew the rules; in fact, he was the one who made them.

The reason is very simple. Hepatitis has been rampant in recent years, and with the continuous exposure by the media, many people will be very afraid of this highly contagious disease for a long time to come.

Therefore, although there are not many reports on this issue at present and social opinion has not yet formed, the so-called first come first served wins. In this commercial area regarded by Yang Mo as the focus of traffic, Yang Mo naturally has to guard the catering, which is the most important tool for traffic generation, closely.

………………

Cangzhou's hotpot chicken is indeed worthy of its reputation. After deliberately lowering the spiciness, and using the new chilled variety directly supplied by Fangyuan Cutting Factory, this pot of delicious food that combines freshness, saltiness, elasticity, toughness and spiciness made Yang Mo, who had hardly eaten chili peppers since his rebirth, eat it with great relish.

After savoring the lingering spicy taste on the tip of his tongue, he glanced at the other two tables of guests who were sweating profusely but were still saying that they were enjoying their meals.

Yang Mo stood up and walked to the counter to pay. He carefully looked at the items on the counter. After thinking for a while, he took the change with a smile and said, "Madam Boss, I want to ask, since your store was listed, have the staff from our consulting office come to help you adjust your business strategy?"

Our consultation office?
Upon hearing this, the proprietress looked at Yang Mo in astonishment.

Listening to what he said...such a young guy is actually a leader?
After taking a look at the jacket on Yang Mo, which didn't seem very eye-catching at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was made of extremely fine materials and workmanship, the proprietress glanced at the gentle smile on his face, and then glanced at the vaguely superior temperament of Su Yu and Bai Mengmeng, and couldn't help but believe it.

A long time ago, I heard Sister Chen from Mo Mo Baichao say that higher-ranking leaders are more approachable, and only those little devils in the palace who are neither up nor down have an arrogant look on their faces.

Thinking of this, she quickly wiped her hands, and asked with some suspicion, "Leader, are you from the park?"

Yang Mo laughed, took out his work badge from his jacket and handed it over with both hands: "Boss, don't be nervous, I'm from Dahua Asset Management Company. I just came over to take a look and understand what difficulties your merchants are facing now, so that we can better serve you."

When Yang Fengxian saw the big words "Director of Business Audit Department" written on her work badge, she felt dizzy and could hardly stand.

I'll be a good boy.

Dahua Asset Management Company?

Is it the unit next to the door with a dark red painted sign?
They are the leading unit of the park's comprehensive management company, and there are men in green military uniforms standing guard 24 hours a day!

minister……?
What a high-ranking official that must be!
Thinking of this, Yang Fengxian swallowed hard, then tremblingly returned the ID card to Yang Mo: "That, that leader... To be honest, the park is very good to us. People from the consulting office also come every now and then to try to help us get our business started."

As she spoke, Yang Fengxian carefully pointed to the two tables of guests who were still drinking and bragging: "Thanks to them, they helped me buy materials and promoted my business. My shop, which has just opened not long ago, can at least have four or five tables a day, which is enough to make a living."

Seeing Yang Mo's gentle expression, and remembering the style of the people in the park's integrated management company, Yang Fengxian was finally not so nervous. She sighed slightly, "But to be honest, this place is not built yet, and it's a mess everywhere. Although there are indeed many people who come here for work or out of curiosity every day, and go to the half-built leisure square to play, but with so much dust flying everywhere, how many people are willing to go into the store to eat?"

At this point, Yang Fengxian paused for a moment and said, "But fortunately, when I started this hot pot chicken, I was worried that people here wouldn't be able to get used to it, but after nearly half a month, I found that people here are still able to accept it... As long as we can hold on for another month, when this place is built, I'm sure the business will gradually pick up."

At the end, the woman in her forties smiled calmly: "Then again, when it comes to doing business, you have to persevere. After two or three years, there should be hope... The management company has waived our rent for a year, and they come to help us from time to time. Even if the business is not good right now, what else can I be dissatisfied with?"

Hearing this, Yang Mo laughed: "A lot of people like to go to the leisure square to play... Boss, speaking of which, if you believe me, I might as well give you an idea. It's possible that we don't have to wait that long, or even wait until all of this is built, and business will pick up."

Yang Fengxian looked at him in astonishment: "Business can improve without completing all the construction? This, this..."

Yang Mo looked at the middle-aged woman who wanted to question but didn't dare to, and couldn't help laughing: "Actually, this is not difficult..."
