A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

All the members of the Zhong family were present. Yun Runtong and his wife also came to show their support. Xiao Fengying also helped invite lion dancers to join in the fun.

Zhong Zijun also did a good job of publicity. Almost everyone in Beijing knew that a shop where they could choose their own goods had opened, and there was an endless stream of people coming to support the store.

It blocked the entire street.

Because the space was not big enough, we finally had to resort to limiting the flow of people, allowing purchases to come in waves, and this was how we were able to cope with the situation.

This novel way of buying has been liked by many people, and almost no one leaves empty-handed. Even if you buy a bag of salt, it feels really good to be able to choose by yourself.

Fortunately, the store employees are well-trained, so they are not overwhelmed.

Because the products in the store are reasonably priced, the quality is obvious, and the service attitude is better than other places, the business is booming that day.

The merchandise on the shelves was emptied again and again, and the waiters quickly replenished them in an orderly manner.

On that day, the whole Beijing knew about this self-service supermarket. The experience was so great that word spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred.

The next day, the supermarket business became even more prosperous, and many foreigners came to buy things.

There were even people from TV stations and magazines who came to interview us.

I took a picture of the long queue in front of Gujia Supermarket, with a constant stream of people.

Gujia Supermarket became completely popular.

The boss Zhong Zijun also made the business popular.

She used to be a professor at Huaqing University, but she resigned to become a self-employed person. This is a controversial topic in itself.

The media rushed to report on the incident, and various discussions were sparked in all sectors of society.

Some people think that she is full of money and brings shame to educated people.

Some people think that she has a unique vision, dares to think and act, is decisive, and is a heroine.

...

Say anything.

After Zhong Zijun found out, she didn't take it to heart at all.

If she cared about other people's eyes and opinions, she would have died long ago.

She just wanted to stick to one path and do it well and successfully.

By then, the results will silence the critics.

The profits of Gujia Supermarket are higher than Zhong Zijun imagined.

In the first week of the supermarket's opening, it made a net profit of nearly 50,000 yuan, which was almost like robbing money.

In addition to the clever business methods, there is also a special publicity model, all of which have played a role and are closely linked and indispensable.

In fact, to open a supermarket like this, the initial investment only requires more than 10,000 yuan.

This means that they have now recovered their investment and are making money, having achieved a phased victory.

It is indeed an era where gold is everywhere.

It seems that you can succeed in anything you do as long as you dare to think and do it.

After making money, Zhong Zijun's tense heart finally relaxed a little.

Her ambition grew bigger with this success.

From grocery store to supermarket, she has come forward step by step steadily. But she wants more than that. She also wants to make it bigger and stronger, and open Gujia supermarkets all over Beijing, and even all over China.

The concept of chain brand supermarkets was also instilled in her by Gu Qinghuan. In fact, she just mentioned it casually at the time, but she didn't expect that Zhong Zijun would take it seriously and gradually put it into practice.

Knowing that her mother's dream was to open Gu's supermarkets all over China, Gu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment.

Oh my god, your ambition is too ambitious. However, it sounds like a good idea.

My mother's wishes and dreams must be protected.

Gu Qinghuan directly took out 100,000 yuan and invested it in Zhong Zijun.

Cheng Fusheng had sold a batch of good things before, and she also made some money, but she hasn’t spent much of it yet.

"Mom, take it. If you make any money, we'll split it in half. If you lose money, it's mine. I don't want you to pay it back."

Go for it boldly! People in their forties are at the right age to make breakthroughs. Whether you can enjoy a comfortable life for the rest of your life depends on whether your mother is supportive.

Zhong Zijun didn't hesitate and took it directly.

"Just wait for the dividends at the end of the year!"

After this period of tempering, Zhong Zijun has become more and more confident and motivated, and her aura as a strong woman has reached its maximum.

She felt much more energetic. She really liked the feeling of having her destiny in her own hands. She was able to plan everything with confidence.

Life used to be as calm as a stagnant pool of water.

Zhong Zijun became more certain that everything now was what she wanted.

Her career gave her a second spring and transformed her.

-

Cheng Fusheng also started his own business.

With his current wealth, as long as he didn't gamble or do anything reckless, he would have no problem living a life of luxury.

But he is also a troublemaker.

Gu Qinghuan's words reminded him.

He has been doing underground business for many years. Now that the country has finally liberalized private transactions, why doesn't he do business openly?

Niu Zhuang and the others won’t be able to do it without him.

The social situation is very good now.

So after thinking it over again and again, he simply made up his mind, took out part of his savings, bought a few trucks, and formed a private transport team.

He arranged for several of his brothers to learn how to drive and get their driving licenses.

The members of the transport team are all his former brothers, so he feels more at ease this way.

But because of his past background, Cheng Fusheng's fleet was deserted for a while and no business came.

Gu Qinghuan thought that she still owed him a few meals, so she privately introduced him to a few business deals without telling him.

They are all long-distance transport.

Cheng Fusheng's subordinates are all tough guys who dare to fight and have lived on the edge of a knife before, so when they go out, they naturally have extraordinary deterrent power. Moreover, if they encounter those who block the road to rob or knock people out with clubs, they can easily deal with them.

As a result, the team's reputation gradually grew, more and more business came, and Cheng Fusheng's transport team slowly began to make a profit.

In addition to transporting goods, Niu Zhuang occasionally takes on private work, such as helping people collect debts.

He is much smarter now.

Ever since Gu Qinghuan pulled him out of the detention center, Cheng Fusheng never took the initiative to see her again.

It’s not that I don’t want to see you, but that I can’t.

Since it was destined to have no result, he had to let it go slowly. He couldn't bring trouble to her, nor could he give himself any hope.

If you are like a rainbow, you will know it when you encounter it.

enough.

How could Gu Qinghuan not know how special this man was to her? It was just that she couldn't respond, so she could only pretend not to know.

When it comes to love, it all starts with a first come first served basis.

Cheng Fusheng is also very outstanding, and his love is also very obvious, but who made her fall in love with Yun Jiuzhou first?

I hope he can slowly forget about me, meet someone who loves him, and live in harmony and love until old age.

Xu Lei's lover Xia Lian, with the encouragement of Gu Qinghuan, opened a pastry shop called Daoxiangju.

In the past few years, the two of them have privately cooperated to sell cakes and earned some money, barely making a living. Xu Lei is the only one in Xia Lian's family who earns money, and the cake business has helped her solve many urgent problems.

When she opened the store this time, Gu Qinghuan invested most of the money. It was agreed that Gu Qinghuan would only provide the money and would not be responsible for anything else. All decisions were left to Xia Lian.

Xia Lian holds 60% of the shares and Gu Qinghuan holds 40% of the shares.

The decline of the family's pastry business has always been a pain for Xia Lian. Now that she has the opportunity to revive it, she is as happy as a child and vows to do it well and live up to Gu Qinghuan's trust and help.

Having been making pastries for half her life, her craftsmanship is impeccable. She is meticulous in craftsmanship and strictly selects ingredients. The things she makes are delicious, beautiful, hygienic and clean. She soon gained a large number of repeat customers.

Especially many elderly people, who often come to buy her food, say that the food she makes is authentic and tastes good, just like the taste of the past. Children also like it.

The business in the store was so good that Xia Lian never dreamed that this day would come. Every day when she opened her eyes, she had money coming in and was very busy.

At the end of the month, the store's net profit was nearly two thousand yuan. She couldn't believe her eyes.

Xia Lian has many children, including a daughter and a son who also like to make pastries. They have been helping her learn how to make pastries since they were young, and now they are basically masters.

The three of them worked together to run the pastry shop.

She felt that her life was complete from then on, and she would run this shop for the rest of her life.

But Gu Qinghuan's question caught her off guard.

"Aunt Xia, have you ever thought about making Daoxiangju bigger?

Open 10 or 8 stores? Open all over Beijing?"

"Qing Huan, what we are doing in this business is inheritance, and these are the skills passed down from generation to generation.

Even if we have so many stores, we still can’t sell the products we make!” Xia Lian’s thoughts are still stuck in the past. She also wants to make more money, but she is still conservative at heart.

To Gu Qinghuan, any family secret recipe is not as important as the money that can be earned now. In a few years, no recipe will be a secret anymore.

It is more important to strive for immediate benefits.

"Aunt Xia, you can train apprentices while you make them. Alternatively, you can divide the production of pastries into many steps, with each person responsible for one step. This will greatly increase production."

"Qing Huan, in our business, if a disciple teaches his apprentice, he will starve to death. My father was fooled like this before.

I can't let our Xia family's craftsmanship become worthless in my hands." Xia Lian was extremely reluctant.

"Aunt Xia, in my opinion, no skill is better than the tangible benefits. If you can use this skill to exchange for a better future for your children, then why not.

I think that if you cling to your skills but don't put them to good use, your life will still be miserable. This is putting the cart before the horse.

If you are willing to teach apprentices, or if you make good use of this skill, you can quickly accumulate a certain amount of assets, allow your family to live a better life, and truly bring benefits to future generations.

Moreover, the craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation has been carried forward.

Daoxiangju will also grow bigger and stronger in your hands. Even if the secret recipe is leaked, so what? You have already got what you deserve.

That’s all I have to say. It all depends on your decision. No matter what your decision is, I will support it. "

Although Gu Qinghuan also had some intention of raising insects, he cast a wide net to invest and just lay back and collect the money.

But her starting point is also good. In the short term, recruiting disciples to expand is more like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. In the long term, this is also a form of development.

Xia Lian runs a Daoxiangju restaurant and earns at most one or two thousand yuan a month, and a little over ten thousand yuan a year.

Life can only be considered as a small fortune.

But if she is willing to take advantage of the current good market conditions, actively expand, open branches, and become bigger and stronger, the situation will be different.

Ten stores can earn 10,000 yuan per month, or 120,000 yuan per year.

She can quickly accumulate capital, achieve financial freedom, accumulate more money and wealth for future generations, and bring more tangible benefits to her children. Isn't this much more useful than clinging to a secret recipe?

Her daughter could have only married into an ordinary family, and perhaps her life would have been different.

Future generations will benefit from it.

She can also free herself from heavy labor and take on the role of manager rather than producer.

In short, no matter what secret recipe or formula it is, only the benefits that are actually in your hands are the most real.

Gu Qinghuan's view may be too realistic, but it does make sense and has a great impact on Xia Lian.

Xia Lian's daughter actually heard everything Gu Qinghuan said. Only after she left did she persuade her mother.

"Mom, I think what Sister Qinghuan said makes sense. What good will it do if you leave the recipe in our hands? We will still live a hard life.

I was going crazy because my brother and I were tied up in the kitchen every day to make this money.

If you teach apprentices, you can free us up and let others do the work for us. We can still make money, or even more money.

We have money in our hands, so why should we care about the recipe?" The young girl couldn't sit still and worked in the kitchen all day long, her mind had already flown away.

Xia Lian wanted to scold her daughter, but when she saw her calloused hands, she couldn't bear to say anything.

"Let me think about it, think about it..."

Xia Lian finally discussed it with Xu Lei and decided to follow Gu Qinghuan's advice and start recruiting apprentices.

At Gu Qinghuan's suggestion, she signed a contract with the apprentices, which had clauses similar to non-compete agreements.

After completing their studies, these apprentices are not allowed to engage in related work other than working in her shop for three years.

And the formula must not be disclosed during work, otherwise huge compensation will be incurred.

This will ensure that the formula is not leaked to the greatest extent possible and also buy more time for Daoxiangju to develop.

Even if some apprentices want to work on their own later, by that time, Daoxiangju will have developed very well and become bigger and stronger, so it will not have any major impact.

Moreover, she did not teach everything at once, but divided the process into many steps and let the apprentices learn in rotation. They could only learn the next step after completing each step, which in disguise prolonged the learning time.

Xia Lian slowly started to lead people, which made her feel much more relaxed and she had more time to do management things. At the same time, the store's output also increased significantly.

The branch of Daoxiangju has opened.

One, two...slowly expanding in Beijing.

Xia Lian's purse gradually became fatter and she became more confident.

Her daughter studied accounting at night college and became an accountant at Daoxiangju.

Her eldest son had been arranged to get married before, but the other party rejected the idea because they couldn't afford a washing machine. Now the family is regretting the decision to the end.
