Siheyuan: Traveling through Sizhu, the scumbag father ran away at the beginning

Xu Huizhen said solemnly: "I think the trend of public-private partnership is inevitable! Our pub will have good policy support after joining."

He Yuzhu then asked: "How do you plan to run the Xu Family Tavern? Your father has entrusted this important task to us, and we must protect the reputation of the Xu Family Tavern."

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I already have a plan!"

Hearing Xu Huizhen's confident words, He Yuzhu nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait and see how you perform, Boss Xu!"

Xu Huizhen said to He Yuzhu: "From now on, the kitchen will be handed over to you, the chef!"

He Yuzhu immediately patted his chest and promised: "Boss, leave the kitchen matters to me, you can rest assured!"

After the pub was ready to open, Xu Huizhen and He Yuzhu opened the door of the pub together.

Xu Huizhen walked out of the tavern and went to the alley to gather all the regular customers and neighbors around to the Xu's Tavern.

Seeing that all the regular customers had arrived, Xu Huizhen stood in front of the crowd and shouted loudly: "Thank you all for coming to Xu's Tavern. Xu Huizhen would like to thank you! I specially called everyone from home to the tavern because I have something to announce today!"

Xu Huizhen continued, "First, from now on, I, Xu Huizhen, will take over the Xu Family Tavern."

"Second, I promise here that the wine in Xu's Tavern will never be diluted with water. If you violate this, you must pay ten times the compensation."

"Third, every distinguished guest who comes to the tavern today will receive an extra three taels of wine."

"Fourthly, we at Xu's Tavern require all customers to pay in cash. We do not accept credit. We are a small business and hope that everyone will understand!"

As soon as Xu Huizhen finished speaking, applause broke out all around.

The guests thanked him in unison: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your generosity!"

Although the drinkers here are mainly interested in drinking, they have become regular customers of Xu's Tavern because of the good liquor, delicious dried fish, strong human touch and the taste of daily life.

Niu Ye even jokingly asked, "Boss Xu, we all know that He Yuzhu was once the top chef of Fengze Garden. Now he comes to work for your tavern. How much salary are you going to give him?"

Pianerye also laughed and nodded in agreement, "If the salary is indeed too low, it would be better for He Yuzhu to stay in Fengze Garden."

Xu Huizhen immediately replied: "In fact, the salary and benefits of our tavern are not controlled by me."

He Yuzhu said: "Huizhen is right. Our tavern will join the ranks of public-private partnerships."

Xu Huizhen added: "The specific wage standard still needs to be determined by the state!"

However, Niu Ye expressed confusion about the public-private partnership with Xu's Tavern, and other drinkers also began to discuss:

"I heard that a few days ago, a roast duck owner heard that the country was promoting public-private partnerships, so he stopped running a roast duck restaurant."

"Yes, I heard that a tailor shop was also rumored to be closed because of this!"

Except for He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen, it seems that everyone has the same pessimistic view on this policy. They are all skeptical about public-private partnerships. What they are worried about is the rationality and feasibility of this policy.

He Yuzhu waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and smiled as he expressed everyone's concerns: "Everyone here must be curious about why Xu's Tavern wants to join the public-private partnership? After all, everyone is worried that joining the public-private partnership will result in not making much money, and the boss will work hard to run his own business but can only get a fixed salary."

He Yuzhu continued: "Since the country is promoting the policy of public-private partnership, the country's starting point is definitely not to rob our industry, but to lead everyone to make more money!"

He went on to elaborate: "After the public-private partnership, the state will definitely have generous preferential policies in terms of business model, such as sending public professionals to assist us in managing stores or factories."

"Of course the original boss will continue to manage the business, and he will receive a fixed salary every month regardless of profit or loss."

"If the business is good and profitable every month, the boss will also share the profits with us. In the allocation of many resources, our needs will be given priority."

"To put it simply, if the store or factory makes a profit, everyone can share the money; if the business fails, everyone shares the loss. This is much better than the original boss bearing the loss alone!"

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, everyone at the scene immediately understood. No one expected that public-private partnerships would have so many hidden benefits.

Someone suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly: "In this way, our store will be run by the state! Those preferential policies are also formulated by the state! We can also get dividends every month in the future. This public-private partnership policy is really good!"

Many of the diners around also run their own shops. After hearing what He Yuzhu said, they became even more excited and clamored to join the public-private partnership.

At this time, Director Wang from the Military Control Office came to Xu's Tavern.

After listening to He Yuzhu and his team's talk, Director Wang applauded and praised: "We at the Military Control Office would like to express our deep gratitude to Xu Huizhen and He Yuzhu for being the first to respond to the public-private partnership policy. They have played a positive leading role!"

Fan Jinyou took this opportunity to show off. He leaned close to Director Wang's ear and said, "Director Wang, you know how much effort I put into communicating with the neighbors and explaining the new policies implemented by the country. Now they all understand the policy of public-private partnership. I have worn out several pairs of leather shoes because of the ideological work I have done for them!"

Director Wang was in a happy mood. He patted Fan Jinyou on the shoulder and said, "I know you've been working hard these days!"

Director Wang thought about it, and then he said to Xu Huizhen, "Manager Xu, Fan Jinyou is a comrade you can trust! After the public-private partnership contract is signed, let Fan Jinyou move into Xu's Tavern as the manager of the public side!"

Fan Jinyou was stunned. He had never thought that a small cadre like him would suddenly become a public manager of a pub. Isn't this a promotion in name only, but a demotion in reality? How would he get promoted in the future? He had originally thought that he could show his face in front of Director Wang so that he could rise to a higher position in the future. But if he became a public manager, he would not be able to be an official!

Fan Jin had a bitter face and gritted his teeth and said tentatively: "Director Wang, this sudden appointment makes me a little surprised and happy. Maybe you should think about it carefully! In fact, I just want to work for the Military Control Office in a down-to-earth manner, and I don't want to be a manager of a public-private partnership."

Fan Jinyou originally thought that he could gain some political achievements and pave the way for future promotion, but he did not expect that Director Wang would arrange him in this way.

Noticing that Fan Jinyou was hesitant about becoming the official manager of Xu's Tavern, Director Wang naturally saw through his little thoughts and said, "Are you afraid that if you become the official manager, you will no longer be a member of the Military Control Office?"

Seeing Fan Jinyou nod his head in agreement, Director Wang continued, "You are my follower, how could I harm you! You stay in Xu's Tavern first, and when the right opportunity comes, I will transfer you directly to a large public-private joint venture factory to serve as a public manager. Isn't this better than being a small cadre in the military control office? But this matter is only known to me and you, don't tell anyone else!"

After hearing this, Fan Jinyou finally understood what Director Wang meant, and he whispered respectfully, "Director Wang, you treat me like my second parents! I will never be able to repay your kindness to me in my lifetime. From now on, if you let me go east, I will never go west!"

Fan Jinyou asked cautiously and tentatively: "Director Wang, then I will stay in this Xu's tavern for the time being, work hard! Perform well! Right?"

Director Wang nodded, patted Fan Jinyou on the shoulder, and said softly: "That's what you should do!"

When Xu Huizhen saw that Fan Jin was going to become the official manager of the Xu's Tavern, her dissatisfaction was evident in her words. She frowned and looked very unhappy, because she knew Fan Jin's background too well - he was a mean man who only cared about his own interests, loved money and loved to take advantage of others.

He Yuzhu saw Xu Huizhen's dissatisfaction, walked up to her and asked quietly: "Huizhen, I see that you seem to be dissatisfied with Fan Jin?"

Xu Huizhen also lowered her voice and said to He Yuzhu: "Everyone on this street knows that Fan Jinyou is a shameless villain!"

"I'm a little worried that this guy will become the official manager of our tavern. If he makes random comments in the tavern, will it affect the brand of our Xu's tavern?"

He Yuzhu gently patted Xu Huizhen's hand to comfort her, and said with a relaxed smile: "Don't worry about this! If Fan Jinyou comes to our tavern, I guarantee that he won't cause any trouble as long as I'm here!"

He Yuzhu continued to joke, "If he dares to be restless, I will make him suffer! You can just run the pub with peace of mind."

Xu Huizhen's mood immediately brightened up when she heard that, and a smile reappeared on her face.

He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Huizhen's expression become happy again.

No matter how despicable Fan Jin is, Director Wang of the Military Control Office is still here. You can't say in front of the director that Fan Jin is not good at this or that. Isn't this openly undermining the Military Control Office?

Although He Yuzhu is fearless, he does not intend to live an arrogant life. He still has to keep a low profile.

If something really happens, asking the military control office or leaders for help is not a good way to solve the problem. After all, asking others for help always means owing a favor, and this favor often needs to be repaid.

If Fan Jinyou makes trouble in the pub, just beat him up as a lesson. If one beating is not enough, beat him twice.

After Director Wang gave Fan Jinyou some advice, he looked at Xu Huizhen and the others and announced loudly: "When your Xu's Tavern officially opens tomorrow, I will arrange for colleagues from the propaganda department of the Military Control Office to help you promote it."

"You know, this is the first store that voluntarily joined our public-private partnership! It is a model for all industries in the capital."

"This is a good start for everyone and will attract more people to follow your example!"

Faced with such an arrangement, Xu Huizhen and He Yuzhu were not particularly excited. This was just a publicity activity in the early stage of opening after the public-private partnership. It was neither a good thing nor a bad thing and was dispensable.

Next, Director Wang instructed Aunt Guo from the Military Control Office and Accountant Liu to accompany Xu Huizhen to check the detailed expenses of the Xu Family Tavern.

Now that Xu's Tavern has embarked on the road of joint venture, all matters in the tavern must be in compliance with the law.
