1987: Sleepless Tonight

Lu Hao's Santana was parked in the open space in front of Wanjia Department Store.

He smoked a cigarette and looked at the empty Wanjia Department Store.

On the side, Wang Qingrong, deputy director of China Construction Third Bureau, came over with drawings in his hands and said to Lu Hao, "The department store will be demolished soon. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"No need, just tear it down." Lu Hao waved his hand, "Don't miss old things too much. The more you miss them, the more it will affect your emotions. If the old things don't go away, the new ones won't come."

If the old Wanjia Department Store is not demolished, the new Wanjia Department Store will not be built. People cannot dwell on the past, as it will affect their progress.

Once people fall into memories, they are likely to be reluctant to leave them. Although they are getting older and their facial features, hands and feet are still normal, their thoughts are tied up by invisible ropes and they have not made any progress. Such a person's life will actually be very painful. .

When people are stuck in memories and cannot extricate themselves, it means that life is very difficult at the moment, so they miss the good things in the past.

"Boss Lu is very open-minded and courageous," Wang Qingrong said.

He looked at the Wanjia Department Store not far away, "With such a good business, we will expand and expand whenever we are told, and we are very determined. To be honest, we don't compare the height and area, just the way of business and the style of decoration, Wanjia The current situation of the department store is better than that of most department stores in Jiangcheng’s shopping malls, and it can be ranked at the forefront.”

"That's right. It's precisely because the decoration inside and the business methods are better than many shopping malls and department stores nowadays, that's why the business is so good. That's why I had the courage to operate in Wanjia Department Store for a short time. , even in less than a year, and if the business situation is very good, we will renovate and expand it." Lu Hao nodded.

This is the way of doing business, as well as the advantages brought by decoration, including the service concept, which takes precedence over other shopping malls and department stores.

"While others are still behind, we must continue to work hard to renovate and expand the Wanjia Department Store. In the future, this process will go through over and over again. This is to give the public a sense of freshness and let The store's decoration services, business philosophy, etc., can match the people's living standards and vision," said Lu Hao.

"Boss Lu's business ideas are indeed stronger than those of other businessmen. He makes decisions first and then acts." Wang Qingrong said.

"Doing business is actually similar, especially the department store business. Many of the things sold are the same. They are available in Wanjia Department Store, and they are also available in other shopping malls, and they are even richer than those in Wanjia Department Store. There are many types, but the daily turnover of my small Wanjia Department Store can now compete with Jiangcheng Shopping Mall, and it actually depends on the decoration and other details." Lu Haodao.

He came here today to see the demolition work of Wanjia Department Store. “The four air conditioners inside, even in the summer, start blowing air conditioners from the moment the door opens in the morning until the last waiter leaves at night, sometimes even 24 hours a day. It is open all the time, but the cooling effect is actually very limited. It cannot cool down all the places in the store, but it at least gives customers a psychological hint that Wanjia Department Store not only wants to make money from them, but also , and I also want them to have a more comfortable environment when buying things.”

"Treat them as human beings, plus the waiters in the store, I will conduct training every few days so that they can have a good attitude towards customers, and even set up awards. If they are wronged by customers, If you endure it, you will be rewarded privately."

"If a customer purchases a large item in the store, I will have it delivered to their home, or even moved to the house, installed and debugged, etc. The difference lies in these places. In fact, these are not difficult to learn. But even now, there are still many shopping malls and department stores that don’t do this.”

When doing business, in fact, many times there are no trade secrets. What is done is human relations.

"It's such a principle. Many people should be able to see the difference between your department store, Boss Lu, and other department stores and shopping malls, but they are just unwilling to imitate it." Wang Qingrong said.

He came here to supervise the demolition work.

The renovation and expansion of Wanjia Department Store is not only a business, but also attracts the attention of the city.

"Yes, some people always dismiss other people's success, thinking that it is just good luck and good background. They also think that the skills mastered by others are cheap and that practice makes perfect. But when they are asked to do it, they don't do it. Doing it, practice makes perfect, and they can change their living conditions, but they are just unwilling. There is an opportunity in front of them, and they see it, but they are unwilling to seize it. In the end, they have to make up a few sentences to express their gratitude for the success of others. Disdainful." Lu Hao sighed, "I don't know what I'm thinking."

There are many such people.

"Having an opportunity does not mean that you have seized the opportunity or seen the opportunity, but many people are unwilling to seize it. They may need money, and they don't have that much money on hand. They need to borrow it, but they can't lose face at this time. I don’t have any relatives or friends nearby to borrow money from,” Wang Qingrong said, “And I actually don’t have any confidence in my heart. I am hesitant and afraid that after borrowing so much money, I won’t be able to succeed, and I won’t be able to afford so much debt.”

"But for some people, when they see an opportunity, they will seize it with all their strength. For example, Boss Lu, you are like this. I heard that when you took over the Wanjia Department Store, you also borrowed a lot of money. Don't For ordinary people, even for wealthy people, it is a considerable amount of money."

"So, everyone actually has a chance, but some people seize it, and some people don't seize it. Those who don't seize it are not because they are not lucky, but because of their courage and interpersonal relationships. The situation is worse than that of catching a few people, which is caused by subjective reasons, not objective reasons."

"Director Wang also has great views and experience in doing business." Lu Hao said.

This is tantamount to agreeing with Wang Qingrong's statement.

Indeed, everyone will encounter opportunities, but very few people can seize them. Seizing opportunities is definitely not just due to luck, but also other factors, and subjective factors actually account for a large part of the reasons.

Including doing one thing, practice makes perfect, and the same is true. Practice makes perfect in the eyes of many people. There is no technical content, as long as you practice more. However, the word "practice" seems simple and is an understatement, but it actually contains a lot of perseverance. and focus, as well as the determination to stand up again in the face of failure and setbacks.

Lu Hao and Wang Qingrong were chatting. After two cigarettes, someone came over and reported to Wang Qingrong, "Director Wang, the personnel and equipment have arrived, and the surrounding area has been cleared. Now we can start demolition work on the Wanjia Department Store."
