1987: Sleepless Tonight

Everything is developing smoothly.

In a flash, several days passed.

That afternoon, Lu Hao drove his wife and children home. When he arrived near his residence, he found a small stall set up next to the street.

There were one or two tables, two or three benches, a few chairs, and a stove set up next to it.

The snails are being fried on the stove.

"There was no stall in this place before, but suddenly a stall was set up today. Did Liu Fen ask someone to set it up?" Su Min also saw it through the car window.

"Most likely." Lu Hao nodded, "She listened to what I told her last time. This is a small-scale stall. Let's give it a try first and see how it works."

After returning home, Lu Hao cooked and fried a few light dishes, and the family ate them.

Then he took two cattail fans. Lu Hao took one and shook it for his wife Su Min. Nini also took one and shook it herself.

The family of three went downstairs again.

take a walk.

Go to the stall you saw in the car earlier.

This place is more lively, with four or five stalls already set up, and there are also some customers sitting there, eating boiled peanuts, cold edamame, fried snails and the like.

They are all relatively simple meals.

This is also in line with the operating conditions of small stalls. The scale is small, the cost is not high, and the food is naturally simple.

The stall owners of several stalls were obviously setting up stalls for the first time, and they were very thin-skinned. They even blushed when they saw someone they knew well and did not dare to look at them.

The cooking and serving movements also seem a little clumsy.

"Boss Lu, you're here too." Someone from behind greeted him.

It's Liu Fen.

beaming.

Before Lu Hao could speak, she continued, "Following the method you taught me, Boss Lu, I told the superiors. The superiors did relent and let me try it on a small scale first. No, let a few people come over today." Set up a stall and test the situation.”

"It's very good. Let's try it on a small scale first. The leaders will see that it's really good. If we propose a large-scale promotion in a timely manner, it will definitely be easier to get approved." Lu Hao nodded.

The situation is similar when various policies are reformed.

"But this scale is too small. I have already said that the family should prepare more things to attract customers, but they still only brought a stove and moved one or two tables. There were only a few dishes, and they were just ordinary meals. I'm afraid common things won't attract many customers." Liu Fen looked at several stalls and sighed, "It's just a small thing, when will it get the attention of the leader?"

This is rhetoric.

He was obviously very happy just now, but now he is worried.

He said that the scale was too small and he was afraid that he would not be taken seriously by the leadership. In fact, he just wanted to seek advice.

Lu Hao heard everything.

"Business is like this. You have to be a little more cautious in the early stage. Didn't Director Liu say that before? Many of us are laid-off employees. Our families are already in a tight situation. It's our first time to do business. One is I can’t wipe my face off, and the cost is not much in the first place, so I definitely don’t dare to invest too much at once, so step by step is indeed a safe way.” Lu Hao said.

It is definitely not possible to criticize the vendors at this time.

One is a citizen setting up a stall right next to him, and the two can hear what they are saying. If they say negative things, it will definitely destroy the other person's confidence, and at the same time, he will make enemies for himself for no reason. There is no need for this.

In addition, Liu Fen can say no, that the stall is small, and that the stall owners are cowardly, but she cannot say this, just like others can say that their children are short, not smart in studies, and not smart. Introvert, don't know how to call people, but outsiders can't say this.

When doing things and talking, you must always be aware of what you can and cannot say. You must go through it in your mind. Although it is a bit tiring, it can avoid making the other party unhappy and offending others.

It's actually a very good deal.

No one is born with knowledge. These principles are gained through summing up experience, improving the way of speaking, improving the means of doing things, and summing up experience in the face of humiliation.

No one is born with this knowledge. People who are well-versed in human relations and sophistication may have received many rolls of the eyes in the early years. However, after receiving the rolls of the eyes and cold words, these people were able to reflect and summarize in private.

If you encounter a similar situation next time, what should you do to effectively avoid similar situations from happening again? Summarizing once may not be effective, but after summarizing 10 times, 50 times, or 100 times, you will no longer be able to speak or behave well. People can also become sophisticated, glib, and make it difficult for people to see what they are thinking in their hearts.

It's similar to playing games and doing battlefield deductions, and you have to review it.

"Boss Lu, you are in big business. You will definitely look down on this small business, but can you give some advice to the big guys on how to make this business better? To be honest, they are not doing business. I have no experience in business, but this matter is indeed an important matter. If the business can be made better, everyone can have more money to support their families, and it will be easier for the superiors to approve it, allowing Han The Shuiqiao Subdistrict Office holds a night market here," Liu Fen said.

She sincerely asked for advice and wanted Lu Hao to give some key opinions.

Then, she looked at the citizens setting up stalls nearby and said in a slightly louder voice, "You all still don't know who this boss is, right? He is boss Lu Haolu, and he opened Wanjia Department Store."

"Even though he is young, he is only in his 20s, which is about the same age as some of your children, but he is really capable. The city has approved the plan for the food court at the entrance of the street, and all departments are working hard. He is usually a guest in the city. Regarding business matters, many leaders will ask Boss Lu for advice, and they respect Boss Lu’s opinions very much.”

She gave Lu Hao a very high evaluation, and then continued, "It's rare that I met Boss Lu today, so I asked him to give you some advice. His words are worth a lot of money. If you listen, Not to mention that the business is as big as his, but even if it is a little smaller, I can still have enough food and clothing."

When several vendors heard Liu Fen's words, they all looked at Lu Hao with a look of asking for advice on their faces.

Really very humble.

Life has bent their backs. Even if some people were originally in good state-owned units and when they were first laid off, they still had the arrogance of state-owned units. However, as time goes by, their savings are getting less and less, and their lives are getting worse. It is getting more and more difficult, and the way forward has no direction. The pride in them is gone.

Some just think about how to make more money and make their family's life better.
