1987: Sleepless Tonight

His questions were more focused on employee psychology, working environment, including getting along with leaders, rather than directly asking about income.

In other words, these are soft topics.

Fang Bilong translated the question into Chinese and asked Wang Ting.

"I'm not afraid. It's too late for me to like him. How can I be afraid? The boss is a very nice person. He pays us wages, bonuses, and benefits. He usually gets along with the big guys and is very pleasant to get along with. "Wang Ting said, "There is no pressure at all. As long as you work seriously, finish what you are doing, and get off work when it's time. If you exceed the time, you will get overtime pay. If you forget, the boss will take the initiative to remind you. , and if it’s too late at night and it’s not safe for female employees to go back, he will ask someone to drive us home. How can such a boss feel scared?”

"We all like him very much and want to work with him forever. We hope that his business will grow bigger and bigger so that we can always work with him."

Wang Ting's mental state is actually the mental state of other employees who work with Lu Hao. I don't say 100%, but at least [-]% to [-]% are like this.

When working with Lu Hao, you don’t have to worry about Lu Hao not fulfilling his promises. Lu Hao will also take the initiative to remind you of things you forget. Which employee wouldn’t love such a boss?

Then, Kevin asked several other employees, got similar answers, and then left Liji Mall.

Lu Hao drove Kevin, Hannah, and Fang Bilong to the area where Wanjia Department Store was being renovated and expanded. The car parked in the square in front.

Several people got out of the car. Lu Hao pointed to the Wanjia Department Store under construction, "This is the original business premises of the department store, which is now being renovated and expanded."

"This project has received the full support of Jiangcheng City. From design to construction, the city has communicated and collaborated with relevant departments and enterprises, striving to successfully complete the renovation and expansion project of Wanjia Department Store. What is currently under construction is The construction staff of China Construction Third Engineering Bureau is a very powerful construction unit. Many large-scale projects in China have been completed by China Construction Third Engineering Bureau. They have rich experience and can promote the project well, and It can meet the requirements on the design drawing.”

"There are some shantytowns in the surrounding area, which were originally inhabited by residents. In order to expand the area occupied by the department store, the city coordinated and accelerated the demolition work of the surrounding shantytowns, freed up a certain area, and allocated it to the Wanjia Department Store. After the Wanjia Department Store is completed, it will be a building covering an area of ​​5000 square meters."

"After the Wanjia Department Store is renovated and expanded, it will have 6 floors above ground, and there will be a shopping plaza on the ground floor that serves as a parking lot. It will become a good place for leisure shopping for Jiangcheng citizens. The passenger flow will be very amazing. If there is a shopping mall here by then, If there is a KFC, the business will definitely be very good."

Lu Hao briefly introduced the situation of Wanjia Department Store to Kevin, and emphasized that this project has the support of Jiangcheng City Government, and has received strong cooperation from relevant departments and enterprises.

This also emphasizes from the side that although he is a private boss, he has a good relationship with relevant departments and Jiangcheng City.

Although the background is not big, there are some.

"The construction looks a bit chaotic, and many measures were not done well." Kevin said while looking at the project construction site.

He commented on the construction environment.

“Yes, the construction environment is indeed a bit messy, but the quality of construction is not necessarily directly related to the construction environment. A good construction environment does not mean that the quality of the construction is good, and a poor construction environment does not mean that the construction quality is good. It means the quality of the construction is poor." Lu Hao did not deny this.

He looked at Kevin and said, "Mr. Kevin, I can also tell you, or predict, that our country will develop rapidly and make amazing achievements."

"Although we are still a developing country now, and a relatively backward developing country, in 20, 30, or 40 years, our country will quickly be among the forefront of developing countries, and even become a developing developed country. nation."

"The people's living standards will be greatly improved, and the overall military and economic capabilities will be explosively developed. The economic aggregate will rise from more than ten to the top three, and the per capita GDP will rise from more than 100 to almost the bottom. The position has been promoted to dozens."

After Lu Hao said these words, Fang Bilong looked sideways.

Fang Bilong glanced at Lu Hao, trying to tell whether Lu Hao's words were true or false from Lu Hao's expression. Even he, his own compatriot, didn't quite believe what Lu Hao said and felt that Lu Hao was bragging. The majority of the ingredients are in order to attract Kevin's attention and cooperate with KFC.

But from Lu Hao's face, he didn't see any deliberate bragging.

Lu Hao's eyes were indeed full of confidence.

The top three economies!

The further you go, the bigger the gap becomes and the more difficult it is to improve. The per capita GDP will have to rise from the bottom to the dozens, and it will take a few decades to do it.

How can this be?

It's an exaggeration no matter how you think about it.

The total global GDP is 19.4 trillion U.S. dollars, and the top three countries in terms of GDP are the United States. No. 1 is the United States, with a GDP of 5.2 trillion U.S. dollars, accounting for 27% of global GDP. The GDP of the European Union is 5 trillion U.S. dollars. , accounting for 26%, and the GDP of Xiaoli is 3 trillion US dollars, accounting for 15%.

The domestic GDP is only over 3 billion US dollars, accounting for only 1.6%.

Under such circumstances, how easy is it to get into the top three?

"Boss Lu, do you really think that China's development level will reach that level in a few decades?" Fang Bilong couldn't help but ask, "Have you read the newspaper? China's GDP last year was only more than 3 billion US dollars. , and the third country in the world, their GDP has reached 3 trillion US dollars, the gap is 10 times, this gap can be made up in only three to 40 years?"

He did not translate Lu Hao's words because Hannah had just translated Lu Hao's words to Kevin.

Hannah's Chinese is very good, and English is her mother tongue. Her translation accuracy is much higher than that of Fang Bilong.

Hannah also translated the question and doubts expressed by Fang Bilong to Kevin.

All three of them looked puzzled.

Lu Hao glanced at Fang Bilong, and then looked at the Wanjia Department Store project under construction in front of him, with deep eyes, "Manager Fang doesn't believe it. This is normal. I think most people don't believe that the country can have such a great success in such a short period of time." With great development, people’s living standards can be greatly improved.”

"But what I want to say is that this will become a reality!"
