The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen called Zhao Zhigang and Lao Wan over and told them about the store he bought on Yan'an Road as their flagship store.

Zhang Chen asked Lao Wan, have all the people in your maintenance team returned?

Lao Wan said he was back.

"Then the work in the factory may have to be stopped for a while, and we can concentrate on getting it done first. If we are pressed for time, if it doesn't work, we will hire a few more people." Zhang Chen said.

"Let's go and take a look first. If the project volume is large, we can recruit a few odd workers and masters to do contract work," Lao Wan said.

Zhang Chen said yes.

Zhao Zhigang stood there, smiling all the time. Zhang Chen asked, "Why are you laughing so hard?"

Zhao Zhigang blushed and continued to smile: "I'm so happy."

Zhang Chen stood up and told Lao Wan to bring a tape measure and come with me to measure the size.

Zhao Zhigang shouted, "Wait for me for five minutes and I will make arrangements. I want to go with you too."

Zhang Chen looked at his watch and said with a smile, "I'll give you four minutes."

Zhao Zhigang ran out immediately, and after a while he ran back out of breath. It only took more than three minutes. Zhang Chen asked curiously, "It's just time to fart. What have you arranged?"

"Yes." Zhao Zhigang said.

"What did you arrange?"

"I told them to beat you if they come to me for trouble."

Lao Wan laughed, and Zhang Chen also laughed and cursed, "You are awesome."

The three of them went out on bicycles. They had just crossed the Qingtai overpass and arrived at the door of the antique bookstore on Qingtai Street. The big brother in Zhang Chen's butt pocket rang loudly. Zhang Chen shouted, "Wait a minute, the phone."

Lao Wan and Zhao Zhigang got out of the car and waited for Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen took out the mobile phone from his hip pocket. The mobile phone was still ringing. Zhang Chen handed it to Zhao Zhigang and told him that he must be looking for you.

Zhao Zhigang took the phone, opened it, and said who you were. His face turned red as if he had been burned. He quickly handed the phone back to Zhang Chen and said, "It's for you."

Zhang Chen picked it up and on the phone, He Hongmei asked, "Who was that just now?"

"Zhao Zhigang." Zhang Chen said.

He Hongmei chuckled and said, "What's wrong with him? I asked him who it was but he wouldn't tell me."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "He's already blushing because you scared him."

Zhang Chen looked at Zhao Zhigang as he spoke. Zhao Zhigang glared at him, but his expression had not faded yet.

He Hongmei and Zhang Chen said that this guy from Kunming is also a slippery man. He told me that anyway, the train from Kunming to Chongqing is only a dozen hours away. If I ask him to start something in Chongqing, he will come over to see him right away. Hum, I won’t want him if I start something. Come and see.

After He Hongmei finished speaking, she sighed.

Zhang Chen had long thought that this would be the result. He thought about it and decided not to let He Hongmei feel discouraged and feel that he was fighting alone. Zhang Chen said to her:

"My house here is ready. We bought a house on Yan'an Road to build the flagship store of 'Half Acre Field'."

"Yan'an Road, really?"

"That's right. I'm taking Zhao Zhigang and Lao Wan over to measure the dimensions. We'll start construction after they clear the place."

"Great!" He Hongmei shouted, "Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I have made an appointment with someone and will go over to talk to him soon. I also want to win it as soon as possible to make sure I won't be pulled down by you."

"Okay, if you win, I will come to Chongqing right away to help you design it." Zhang Chen said.

"Okay, Master, we have an agreement."

"It's a deal."

The three of them arrived at the door of the sales department of Yiming Food Factory. Zhang Chen saw that during the day, there were more people than last night. Most of them were older people. The 30% off "3" at the door was marked with a cross. , with a "2" written on it.

Zhang Chen walked into the store and saw Manager Mao helping at the counter below. Manager Mao also saw Zhang Chen, walked out of the counter and asked Zhang Chen: "Are you that Boss Zhang?"

Zhang Chen said yes, I am, hello, Manager Mao.

Manager Mao looked around and told Zhang Chen that the items were almost ready for sale today and it would take less than three days. The truck that moved the counters would not be available until the day after tomorrow. Can Boss Zhang let these counters go? Let's give it another day?

Zhang Chen said there is no problem, it will be fine if you just sell it for a few more days, we also have to make preparations, not so fast for the time being.

Manager Mao said okay and extended his hand.

The two shook hands and then separated. Manager Mao continued to sell his goods, and Zhang Chen took Lao Wan and Zhao Zhigang to measure the dimensions.

After finishing the measurement downstairs, Zhang Chen walked over and said to Manager Mao, "Mr. Mao, we are going to measure upstairs. Can we go in that office?"

"Okay, okay, the door is open. This place is already yours. Boss Zhang, you can go wherever you want."

Zhang Chen said thank you and thought to himself, Manager Mao is still a very smart person.

When they arrived upstairs, the debris upstairs had been moved away and it was empty. Zhang Chen couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that these people were quite efficient in moving. It was probably because they got their wages that they became more motivated.

The three people went upstairs and downstairs, inside and outside the building, to measure all the dimensions. When they returned to the factory, it was already dinner time. Zhang Chen received a call from He Hongmei. On the phone, He Hongmei said excitedly that her The store has been decided, the agreement has just been signed and the money has been paid.

"Great!" Zhang Chen shouted.

"Haha, it's great, more than 260 square meters, at the Jiefangbei. Master, do you know the Jiefangbei in Chongqing?"

Zhang Chen said he didn't know, so when I went back to Xiao Zhao's house, I passed by Chongqing and had no impression at all.

"You will know the most lively place in Chongqing when you come here. By the way, Master, ask Sister Xiaozhao to come with you. I will drive my sister's car and take her back to her parents' home. If we leave early in the morning, we can go back and forth in one day."

Zhang Chen said yes, but Zhang Xiangbei couldn't fly.

"Why can't you sit down?"

"How long has it been since he was born?"

"Yes. When my niece was as old as Beibei, my sister took her to Guangzhou to purchase goods. I specifically asked an experienced doctor. The doctor said that babies can fly after one month after birth. You prepare a Baby bottle. When getting on and off the plane, put some cotton in his ears and give him water from the baby bottle. By the way, you can also let Sister Xiaozhao feed him milk."

"Great! Then I'll make arrangements here and come over."

Zhang Chen hung up the phone and went to the showroom. The market was not busy yet. They could use the time before the Lantern Festival to take a trip to Chongqing. Zhang Chen calculated that they could stay in Chongqing for three nights. He spent Two days are enough to design and communicate with the decoration team. There is still one day to go to Xiao Zhao's house. Although time is tight, it can be arranged.

If they stay for one more day, they won't have time. The factory, store, and construction site are all waiting for them.

Zhang Chen sat down in front of the workbench. He thought that he would be busy all night today. He would first draw out the most basic construction drawings and construction plans and hand them over to Lao Wan, so that Lao Wan and the others could do the entire house first. An inspection was conducted to see which areas needed to be reinforced, including rafters, tiles and floor slabs that needed to be replaced. After all, it was an old building.

Then there is the preparation of materials and the dismantling of the places that need to be dismantled first.

After they completed this, they returned from Chongqing and could start the official construction.

A helper from the cafeteria walked in, carrying a stainless steel tray in her hand, which contained a plate of green pepper meat slices, a bowl of soup and a portion of rice. She told Zhang Chen that this was what Factory Director Zhao asked me to deliver.

Zhang Chen quickly said thank you, thank you!

"You put it here after you finish it, and I'll collect it," the helper said.

Zhang Chen said yes, thank you!

He ate while writing, and after eating most of the bowl of rice, he realized that he had not eaten a single chopstick of the food. He smiled, pushed the rice away a little, moved the food in front of him, and continued to eat while writing, unknowingly eating all the food on the plate. After eating, I woke up.

He poured the soup into the remaining rice, finished it quickly, and pushed the entire tray aside. He didn't know when the helper came to take it away.

After dinner with Qu Tianlin and Xiao An, Xiao Zhao took a taxi and went directly back to the factory. Hearing from Zhang Chen that they were going to Chongqing the day after tomorrow, and that He Hongmei was going to drive them home, Xiao Zhao was so happy that he hurriedly He was about to run to the office to call his aunt. Zhang Chen said, it's already off work now. Is there anyone in the village who will answer the phone?

"Yes, yes, there is someone on duty. They will call Mayor Niu."

Zhang Chen laughed. Anyone who dares not to call him Township Chief Niu will probably not be able to sleep tonight.

Xiao Zhao came back holding Zhang Xiangbei with red eyes. Zhang Chen asked her what was wrong. Xiao Zhao shook his head and said it was nothing, she was happy.

Xiao Zhao and Zhang Chen said that my aunt knew that we were pressed for time and had to go back and forth on the same day. She said that we didn't have to go home. She called my parents to wait for us in the countryside, which saved time.

Zhang Chen nodded and asked whether it was Mayor Niu or she who was more considerate.

Zhang Chen worked all night to prepare everything. He gave the renderings, construction drawings and construction plans to Lao Wan, explained them clearly to him, and asked him to think about any other problems. While he was here today, , can be raised.

Lao Wan said, I will take people to go there to have a look.

Zhang Chen said yes.

When Lao Wan walked to the door, Zhang Chen stopped him and told him, don't leave yet, wait for me, I will be back soon.

Zhang Chen rode his bicycle back home. Xiao Zhao had already gotten up. Zhang Xiangbei also sent him to the nanny's house. When Zhang Chen came back, Xiao Zhao made a bed for him to sleep. She herself went to Sijiqing, where there were There was a civil aviation ticket office, and she was going to buy a ticket.

Zhang Chen told her, "You go, I'll get the things and I have to go back to the factory."

"Aren't you going to sleep anymore?" Xiao Zhao shouted.

"I still have something to do, come back and sleep again."

Zhang Chen took out the camera and film from the cabinet, and told Xiao Zhao that the renderings of our store should be left to Lao Wan. I was going to take photos of the renderings and bring them to He Hongmei, otherwise...

"I know, you're afraid of being scolded by her." Xiao Zhao said with a smile.

"No, it's to give her confidence and also give her family confidence. It's not easy for He Hongmei to convince her family."

Xiao Zhao nodded, she felt that what Zhang Chen said made sense.

Zhang Chen returned to the factory and took pictures of the renderings one by one. To be on the safe side, he took two pictures of each picture. There was still film left to run out. Zhang Chen thought about it and took another picture of their showroom and He Hongmei was certainly familiar with all the workshops, including the construction site where they were working. Zhang Chen wanted to take photos of them to show them to her family.

Zhang Chen had a premonition that Chongqing would probably become the center of his company in the southwest.

Zhang Chen took the film out of the camera and handed it to Lao Wan. He told him that there is a color enlarging department in the International Building at the end of Yan'an Road, just past our store. You can help me get it developed. It's urgent. We need it today. Print three sets.

Lao Wan said yes.
