Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

Located on the banks of the Pearl River, CUHK boasts a unique campus environment that blends tranquility and prosperity.

Even in November, the campus is still green, with lush trees and fragrant flowers.

If it were a university campus in the north, it would have been freezing cold at this time of year, and there would be no such vibrant scene.

After studying, you can simply walk out of the north gate of CUHK and stroll along the Pearl River embankment to enjoy a moment of tranquility and relaxation.

Looking across the river, you can see the picturesque Ersha Island. Its superior living environment is very desirable, and the future housing prices will be outrageous.

Hao Qiang once fantasized that if he had enough money, he might buy a villa there and enjoy the tranquility and luxury of the island.

About two kilometers east of the CUHK campus, the future Yuecheng Tower will rise. Construction on this landmark building will officially begin in November next year.

At the same time, Zhujiang New Town across the river is also scheduled to start construction at the end of next year. It will become the peak of future housing prices in Guangdong City, with an average price of more than 100,000 yuan per square meter.

Looking back at the past, when Huacheng Bay was launched in 2006, the average price was only 8,000 per square meter.

However, as time went on, housing prices continued to rise year by year, reaching 15,000 or 16,000 by 2008.

By around 2020, the average price had soared to 200,000 yuan.

Although Hao Qiang once had the idea of ​​enclosing land, it was just a fantasy and now it is not his turn.

After 2008, when stocks such as Moutai and Tencent continue to balance for many years to come, he can invest the excess funds in real estate.

He is not keen on real estate speculation, but if he has sufficient funds, he does not mind purchasing a few properties and letting his parents become leisurely rent collectors.

Wearing slippers all year round, a vest worth more than ten yuan, carrying a cloth bag with a bunch of keys in it, that kind of plain yet fulfilling life actually has its own unique fun.

And these landlords who like to wear slippers are the envy of countless office workers.

When Hao Qiang felt bored, he would stroll along the Pearl River, gazing at Ersha Island on the opposite bank and Zhujiang New Town in the distance.

That area full of future potential will be his future investment target.

The small goal he had set for himself before, one million yuan, would be completed in a few days.

The next wealth goal is 10 million yuan.

Today, as night fell, Qiu Yuqing accompanied Hao Qiang for a walk by the river.

"Brother Qiang, you have been staring at that island. Is there anything special there?" Qiu Yuqing saw him staring into the distance for a long time and felt a little curious.

Hao Qiang smiled and said, "The living environment is quite beautiful. For people at the bottom of society, it's like a fantasy world."

Qiu Yuqing has lived in a wealthy environment since childhood, so it may be difficult for her to have a deep understanding of what a house means to ordinary people.

"Oh, it's pretty good." Qiu Yuqing nodded, not quite understanding what was going on.

"Yuqing, do you have any dreams?"

"My dream now is to be able to happily accompany Brother Qiang every day, hehe." Qiu Yuqing laughed carefreely.

"Don't worry, we can definitely do it." Hao Qiang rubbed her hair and asked with a smile,

"Uh, how did you apply for journalism before? Everyone has their own ideals, right?"

"Oh, I wanted to be a journalist or a TV host in high school, but after entering university, I felt that there were many directions for development, such as opening an advertising company or engaging in new media operations." Qiu Yuqing recalled, and then turned to ask Hao Qiang, "Then why did you apply for Electronic Science and Technology?

You won't be able to work for others in the future, so I think finance or business administration would be more suitable for you."

"Our country is weak in areas like semiconductors and lasers, so I chose this major, hoping it would be useful in the future. Of course, there's a huge gap between ideals and reality."

After hearing this, Qiu Yuqing sighed, "Oh, so your ideal is so great."

The two walked side by side, talking freely and sharing each other's vision for the future.

Couples who have the conditions can still be together after graduation.

Couples without conditions have to face reality after graduation and have no extra choices. Graduation may mean breaking up.

After all, it’s because you don’t love each other enough.

If two people truly love each other, they can actually make a living together in the same city, but often, one party finds it difficult to give up that seemingly superior job and future plans. This is a reflection of reality.

Hao Qiang and Qiu Yuqing strolled along the riverside, then returned to school and went their separate ways.

Qiu Yuqing knew that Hao Qiang had a lot of things to do, so she didn't stick to him too much.

Hao Qiang returned to his rented house and began to write the "High-end Human Fireworks Investment Plan".

Only when you have written it yourself will you have a clear idea of ​​it and avoid omissions in actual implementation.

At the same time, he plans to start researching the market to see where it is suitable to open a high-end hot pot restaurant.

Since he wanted to invest in a high-end hotpot restaurant, he would definitely choose a place with a large flow of people.

According to Hao Qiang's memory, there were 45 stores of Hidilao successfully operating in Guangdong City in the future, mainly distributed in Hetian District and Baiyun District, which provided Hao Qiang with valuable market reference.

From 1994 to 2004, Hidilao only opened 8 stores;

From 2004 to 2017, Hidilao opened a total of 273 stores.

At present, Hidilao is mainly focusing on market expansion in Chengdu Province. It has successfully entered the Xijing market last year, and plans to enter Henan Province next year. It will not enter Guangdong City for several years.

However, Renjian Fireworks has just started out and there is a big gap between it and Hidilao.

However, Hao Qiang's advantage is that he has a general idea of ​​the future operation of Hidilao and the direction of future economic development. This enables Hao Qiang to grasp the pulse of the market more accurately, predict future trends, make fewer mistakes and take fewer detours.

Wednesday morning at 10:00 AM

Hao Qiang suddenly received a call from Du Tao, deputy director of the Food and Drug Administration.

On the other end of the phone, Du Tao's tone was somewhat serious: "Boss Hao, we will conduct a routine hygiene inspection tomorrow. Please pay special attention to your store, especially the kitchen area."

Although Hao Qiang was somewhat surprised by the sudden health inspection, he quickly responded in a calm tone: "Okay, Director Du, thank you for your reminder.

If I have time someday, I will definitely treat you to a drink."

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Du Tao hung up the phone.

Currently, the Food and Drug Administration is responsible for health inspections of restaurants. [Note: Around 2019, the Guangdong Provincial Food and Drug Administration merged with the Administration for Industry and Commerce and other departments to form the Market Supervision Bureau.]

Not long ago, in order to maintain the relationship with the leaders of the two departments, Hao Qiang specially hosted a banquet and gave them high-quality cigarettes and alcohol.

In addition, he also carefully prepared coupons and personally delivered them to the other party's family to avoid trouble in daily supervision.

He is also worried about malicious complaints from his peers.

However, competitors generally do not make malicious complaints. If this hot pot restaurant has hygiene problems, customers will have concerns about eating hot pot, and it will also affect the business of other hot pot restaurants.

At three o'clock in the afternoon,

Hao Qiang squeezed out time to come to the store, called all the employees together, and seriously conveyed the news that the relevant departments would conduct a health inspection tomorrow.

He requires every employee to strictly perform their duties and carefully check the work area, especially those blind spots that are easily overlooked.

For employees with long hair and nails, Hao Qiang specifically pointed out that they must be trimmed neatly within today.

This requirement was emphasized before joining the company and all store employees complied with it.

After the notification, Hao Qiang personally went to the kitchen to check every detail one by one.

He keenly discovered a hygiene problem and immediately requested rectification.

The store manager, deputy store manager and head chef followed closely behind, carefully recording and carrying out Hao Qiang's instructions.

"The oil stains on the range hood must be cleaned thoroughly, and no water can accumulate on the ground, otherwise it will easily breed bacteria.

Food ingredients and tableware must be placed at least 10 centimeters from the ground and the wall. These details must not be overlooked. "Hao Qiang emphasized seriously, "I tell you, these details may seem insignificant, but if the inspectors find them, they have every reason to punish us.

Even if there are no inspections, we must adhere to standardized operations.”

After Hao Qiang's inspection, he found that there were indeed some minor problems in the store, and he asked all employees to make immediate rectifications.

He also pays special attention to the use of cooking oil, requiring that once the oil exceeds the usage limit or time limit, it must be replaced immediately, and no risks can be taken to save money. Every time the oil is pressed, the time must be marked.

The store clerks felt a little pressured when they saw that the boss attached so much importance to hygiene inspections and personally participated in the inspection process.

Normally, everyone strictly abides by the store's hygiene regulations, and the store manager supervises them every day, but when business is busy, omissions are inevitable.

After the inspection, Hao Qiang arranged for Deputy Store Manager Wang Li to find a camera equipment supplier to install cameras in the store to monitor the store environment in all directions.

He was worried that someone would frame him in the future, such as throwing cockroaches, flies and other insects into the hot pot.

Maybe this kind of thing happens rarely, but it’s hard to explain if there is no evidence.

When business is bad, perhaps no one will make fun of him.

But now that business is booming, there is this risk.

"Okay, boss, I understand." After listening carefully to Hao Qiang's concerns and instructions, Wang Li expressed his full understanding and said he would immediately take steps to deal with the matter.

We must all work together to maintain the current good situation, otherwise if the hot pot restaurant business gets worse, no one will get their performance bonuses.
