Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

The next day,

New Year's Day 2005 arrived as scheduled.

For Hao Qiang, he is full of hope and expectations for this year, like the buds of spring, ready to burst forth.

The flagship store is about to open. If it is successful, the expansion of the chain will be unstoppable.

The door of the third-level technology store is about to open to him, and he is secretly looking forward to it. Is there any technical secret that he has always dreamed of hidden there?

His personal wealth has been growing like a snowball, steadily moving towards the goal of tens of millions of yuan, and has now crossed the important threshold of five million yuan.

His four-dimensional attributes are also constantly improving, and there will be more surprises and possibilities waiting for him to discover in the future.

……

Too many expectations.

During the same period, what were those big guys in later generations doing?

Under the leadership of Mr. Huang, Guomei Electric has undergone a large-scale expansion, acquiring Black Swan, Yihao...

Liu Qiangdong was determined to close the retail store and transform into a professional e-commerce company, with the mall trying to sell all IT and digital products.

Ma Yun had just founded a third-party online payment platform, which would receive a $10 billion investment from Yahoo this year. By this time, he was already a big shot.

Xiaoma's Tencent has only been listed for half a year, and its stock price is very balanced;

……

In this era full of opportunities and challenges, they are all writing business legends in their own ways.

Hao Qiang had some knowledge of these major business events, but he didn't know the specific details.

There are many things he can't get involved in, so for now he just needs to do his own thing.

With a golden finger, as long as you lay a solid foundation, you will not have to worry about future development.

In the morning,

Qiu Yuqing booked a small private room in a Chinese restaurant to welcome Hao Qiang's parents.

She was wearing a simple and elegant lady's outfit today, white sneakers, no jewelry, and light makeup.

Originally, Hao Qiang planned to eat at his own restaurant, but Qiu Yuqing suggested having a more formal Chinese meal, thinking that this would show more respect for Hao Qiang's parents and also hope to leave a good first impression on them.

As for Hao Qiang's parents, they planned to meet at home, so there was no need to waste money outside.

"Let's eat outside. What if the food you cook doesn't suit their taste? It will be awkward for everyone. Yuqing has already booked a table at the Chinese restaurant over at Zhengjia Plaza." Hao Qiang advised. He was also afraid of the hassle.

"Ah, this child is too polite. Son, how can I let others pay for it?" Liu Fengqing felt embarrassed.

"I can't win." Hao Qiang tried his best to speak well of Qiu Yuqing. "Yuqing is a very careful and considerate girl. She does this to make us all feel comfortable. Just follow her arrangements. I'm really not as good as her when it comes to treating people well."

"This child is so nice." Liu Fengqing was very touched and satisfied with Qiu Yuqing, whom he had not met yet.

That was without asking for anything in return, directly supporting his son to start a business with 300,000 yuan.

"Very sensible, son. You should treat him well." Hao Jianjun said so, but he sighed in his heart. The other person came from a wealthy family, and he didn't know how his parents viewed their son.

At around ten o'clock, Hao Qiang drove his parents to Zhengjia Plaza and went to his grandmother's Chinese restaurant on the sixth floor.

At this time, Qiu Yuqing had been waiting in the small box for a long time and was a little nervous. She was afraid that Hao Qiang's parents would be dissatisfied with her.

In fact, she was overly worried.

Soon, Hao Qiang asked the waiter to find the box number that Qiu Yuqing reported.

As soon as the door to the private room opened, Qiu Yuqing saw Hao Qiang's middle-aged parents standing next to her. She smiled brightly and sweetly and immediately went to greet them: "Uncle, aunt, and ladies, hello!"

She spoke Cantonese. She had asked Hao Qiang and knew that Hao Qiang's parents could understand Cantonese, speak Mandarin, and knew some Cantonese as well.

Cantonese is very similar to Mandarin, so she can still understand it.

If they spoke Mandarin, she would have a headache.

When they saw Qiu Yuqing, Hao Qiang's parents' eyes immediately lit up.

This girl is so pretty, tall, fair and cute. She is even sweeter and more charming when she smiles, and she is very approachable.

The mother walked forward and gently held her girlfriend's hand with both hands, her eyes shining with admiration and love: "Hello, Yuqing is so polite, you are very beautiful."

At the same time, Liu Fengqing looked at Qiu Yuqing carefully, taking in every detail from her hairstyle, clothes to shoes.

Hao Jianjun also greeted him very politely and couldn't help but give his son a thumbs up, saying that this boy really knows how to choose girls.

Which parent doesn't want their son to find a good girl? So this makes them very proud.

At the same time, Hao Jianjun was relieved that Qiu Yuqing could speak Cantonese. If he spoke Mandarin and the other party didn't understand, it would be embarrassing.

After a brief greeting, Qiu Yuqing gave the prepared gifts to Hao Qiang's parents.

Now, how could Hao Qiang’s parents dare to accept him?

"Uncle, aunt, these are some small gifts, please accept them." Qiu Yuqing was also afraid that Hao Qiang's parents would not accept them, so the gifts she bought were not expensive, just a branded belt and two elegant thermos cups.

She believes that the more expensive a gift is, the better it is. Instead, the quality of the gift should be the key. She should not buy flashy things. The most important thing is to make the elders feel that she has put a lot of thought into choosing the gift.

If she chose something that was too expensive and flashy, Hao Qiang's parents would think she was wasting money and might even suspect that she would not take care of the family in the future.

Giving them a cup actually means that she hopes they will think of her when they drink water, and it also reminds them to drink more water and pay attention to their health.

"Dad, Mom, please accept it. This is Yuqing's gift from the heart." Hao Qiang advised.

"How can this be so embarrassing? We haven't even prepared any return gifts."

Hao Qiang's parents felt very embarrassed, but they still accepted the gift after being persuaded by Hao Qiang and Qiu Yuqing, and they felt even more satisfied with Qiu Yuqing.

With their son's advance reminder, they tacitly avoided the sensitive topic of Qiu Yuqing's family background and did not ask further questions.

Qiu Yuqing's speech and behavior were polite and generous, and soon the whole box was filled with laughter.

She cleverly narrowed the distance between herself and Hao Qiang's parents, especially chatting with Hao Qiang's mother, as if they had already become a family.

I have to say that when it comes to dealing with people, Qiu Yuqing is much better than most of her peers. This may be due to her wealthy family background, as someone has been teaching her this aspect since she was a child.

Of course, another part of the reason is that Qiu Yuqing has been trained in the student union at school and knows more.

After dinner, Hao Qiang and his family of three and Qiu Yuqing went to the flagship store to take another look, and then drove Qiu Yuqing to the station because she was going home.

In the evening, Hao Qiang went to South China University of Technology to have dinner with Han Qingying.

Hao Qiang didn't know how long he could keep this a secret; it would be exposed sooner or later. If Han Qingying came to CUHK and investigated him seriously, she would surely find out soon that he was cheating on her.

However, Han Qingying trusted Hao Qiang too much and was not as gossipy as other girls. Apart from dating Hao Qiang, she was immersed in studying all day.

After arriving at CUHK, she studied very hard. She has already taken exams for several subjects, and her scores are all above 95. At this rate, she will have no problem getting into the top three of her major.

Hao Qiang works very hard and mostly copies knowledge from textbooks. He has good memory and thinking abilities, so his grades are naturally good.

The school was on vacation for three days, and Hao Qiang took time out to prepare for the opening of the flagship store.

Most of the recruitment work for the flagship store has been completed. Hao Qiang rented a remote first-floor shop near Zhengjia Plaza as a food pre-processing store with a construction area of ​​more than 100 square meters. The rent is not expensive.

The food pre-processing store also served as a temporary training venue. Hao emphasized that Yang Qiuhong was appointed as the deputy manager of the new store, and Wang Lisheng, the deputy manager of the old store, was appointed as the manager of the old store.

Normally, Yang Qiuhong is mainly responsible for training work.

The flagship store manager is Wang Sicong, 40 years old, a technical secondary school graduate, who has accumulated seven or eight years of management experience in the large hotel and catering industry. He was recruited by Hao Qiang through a headhunting company.

The headhunting fee is not low either, usually around 25% of the annual salary of the person being appointed.

The two parties agreed that after the personnel were confirmed, Hao Qiang would pay half of the fee in advance, and the remaining fee would be settled after the personnel were regularized.

This was Hao Qiang’s first time dealing with a headhunting company, and he didn’t expect the service fees to be so high.

But there is a reason for his high position. If he searches for it through the job market, it will probably take a lot of time and energy.

The headhunting company, with its rich talent files and extensive network resources, was able to quickly match Hao Qiang with the right candidate, which is unmatched by traditional recruitment methods.

In addition, Hao Qiang also purchased a van, mainly used for delivery services.

In their spare time, his parents also began to study the production of hot pot base, recording various recipes, effects and supply channels.

Whenever they encountered something they didn't understand, they would humbly ask their son for advice.

The family of three and the company employees are all looking forward to the opening of the flagship store and working together for this grand event.
