Zhou Shao of Rebirth

"Hey, Young Master Zhou, I heard that you are back, let's have a get together tonight? How long has it been since we saw each other?" Lin Wanfeng immediately called when he got the news that Zhou Heng had returned to Beishi.

"Come on tonight, come to my place, I just brought some special products back for you."

"Hey, Young Master Zhou is so kind. You haven't forgotten about us when you go out to play. You can eat, drink and get food. How embarrassing, hehe..."

Zhou Heng scolded with a smile: "If you don't pay back, introduce more guests to my place for dinner in the future, don't just say it with your mouth."

"Isn't that the threshold is too high in your place? Even if I go, I have to book several days in advance to get a seat." What if I introduce someone to go and get kicked out of the door, how embarrassing it is?

When Zhou Heng arrived at the restaurant, he thought Lin Wanfeng was joking, but when he hung up the phone and looked at the latest account book, he was really taken aback.

Although he would call Wang Er every day to learn about the restaurant's operations, but what he heard with his ears was different from what he saw with his eyes. At least he didn't know that the restaurant would be fully booked for the next three days.

Zhou Heng called Liang Qi out, and brought in a lobby manager for a small meeting.

Liang Qi was much thinner than before, but she was in good spirits. Seeing Zhou Heng, she joked, "Didn't you go on a honeymoon trip? Isn't it less than a month?"

"Ahem..." Zhou Heng glared at him, the old man's eyes were bright, and it was not long before he knew him that he had an unusual relationship with Lei He.

Liang Qi took off the greasy apron, crossed his legs and asked, "If you have anything to say, hurry up, I have to go to take a nap, I don't take advantage of the noon to rest for two hours, and when the guests come, my old arms and legs , I’m so tired that I’m about to stop eating.”

"I looked at the account book, and the business has been pretty good recently. Are there more old customers or new customers?"

The lobby manager at the side said: "Since the end of last month, the source of our store's customers has stabilized, and most of them are old customers, but nearly ten new membership cards are issued every day."

Zhou Heng nodded in satisfaction, "Then what do the customers think about the store? Tell me about it."

The lobby manager glanced at Chef Liang, swallowed his mouth and said, "It's nothing, occasionally there will be guests who intentionally make trouble, but we will follow your instructions. All such guests will be blacklisted and members will be cancelled." Gradually, there will be fewer people making trouble. However... there is an exception..."

Seeing his hesitation, Zhou Heng asked impatiently: "What's the exception? No matter who it is, if they dare to make trouble here, they will be thrown out. If they have any objections, let him go to my house to talk to the old man!"

"No... there is a guest, and he is not a guest. He didn't have a membership card, but just guarded outside the alley every day, saying that he wanted to poach Master Liang, and the conditions were very high."

Zhou Heng glanced at Liang Qi in surprise, "It seems that you are famous, and someone has come to intercept you, what are the conditions?"

Liang Qi opened her squinted eyes and said with a smile: "It's okay, the salary is ten times higher than yours, plus I'll be given half of the shares, saying that I will be in charge of a five-star hotel."

"Hehe, it's really good, then why didn't you go?" Zhou Heng was not only surprised but shocked now. If he was Liang Qi under such a condition, he would definitely pack up and leave immediately.

Liang Qi's chubby cheeks trembled, and he stared at him and said, "Am I this kind of ungrateful person? Since I promised you to take care of the back kitchen, I won't give up halfway!"

Zhou Heng rubbed his nose embarrassingly, and poured him a cup of tea, "Well, I misunderstood you, and I will apologize to you! But which hotel is so arrogant? Dare to poach the corner of this young master?"

"I heard from Wang Er that he is the young master of the Li family."

"Li Tangyu?"

"Yes, that's the name."

"Fuck! Why is this kid jumping up and down again? Last time the new store opened, they invited their family members and no one came to support it, but now they want to compete with me for business!" Zhou Heng's mouth twitched, not understanding Li Tangyu This is the wrong medicine.

It's fine if he really wants to do business, he can still treat it as a legitimate business competition, but obviously Li Tangyu deliberately wants to fight against him.

"Has he come here often recently? Is he alone or with someone?"

"Come here almost every day, with more than a dozen bodyguards, but he doesn't dare to show up when we have guests here, and usually shows up when it's closing time."

Zhou Heng raised his brows, nodded and said, "I know about this, you don't have to worry about it, just do your best, this month's NO.15 will give you a reissue of last month's bonus."

The lobby manager looked happy, and thanked with a smile: "Then I will thank the boss for you guys first."

Zhou Heng waved his hand, let him go out first, and then asked Liang Qi: "Have you read the things I sent back before? How are you?"

Talking about the kitchen, Liang Qi's spirit also came, "It's not bad. There are several varieties of mushrooms that I haven't seen in Beishi. They are good ingredients for stewing soup. New products have been released one after another in the past few days, and the feedback from customers is very good." Not bad. But can you ensure a continuous supply of these things? I'm afraid this kind of thing is not grown by farmers?"

Zhou Heng nodded, "It's really not, it's wild. There are many mountains and trees in Pingshui County, and there are all kinds of wild mushrooms produced in the mountains every year. I heard that the local people don't like to eat them, so they only pick some and keep them at home occasionally. I have communicated with several villages, and the village cadres will come forward to recycle, and I want as much as I want, and the ones that our restaurants can’t digest will be made into gift boxes, and they will be given as gifts during the Chinese New Year.”

Liang Qi stared at Zhou Heng for half a minute, but didn't know what to say, "It's just that you can think of giving away those things that no one wants in the mountains as treasures."

Wild vegetables are delicious and served on the table. Many people like them, but I have never heard of them being packaged as gifts.

"You don't understand this. It's precious because no one does it. Sending this kind of thing is not only cheap, but also practical. It can also drive consumption in our restaurants. It serves multiple purposes."

Zhou Heng thought that in the past few years, he could get more game, and it would take a lot of effort to eat it in a few years.

After saying a few words, Zhou Heng let Liang Qi rest, and continued to settle the accounts with the calculator. Seeing the numbers slowly accumulating on the account, his eyes almost lost his laugh.

It’s only been a little over a month, and the turnover of Lao Zhou’s restaurant has exceeded 500 million. Of course, most of it is the pre-deposited amount of the membership card. A card pre-deposits [-]. Even if some people do not spend, it will bring Zhou Heng A lot of money.

"Wang Er..." Zhou Heng put down the ledger and shouted.

When Wang Er heard the call, he ran in immediately, wiped his sweat and asked, "Young Master Zhou, are you looking for me?"

"What are you sweating profusely?"

"I'm helping the kitchen wash the dishes. The kitchen is really hot in this weather."

"Isn't the air conditioner installed?"

The corner of Wang Er's mouth twitched, and he replied helplessly: "Master Liang won't let go. If it's a kitchen, it should feel like it's in full swing. Otherwise, why is it called a kitchen?"

Zhou Heng was silent for a few minutes, and felt that it was worthwhile to give Liang Qi a little more salary just for his idea of ​​saving electricity.

"How about the people I asked you to recruit? How many people are there?"

"A dozen or so people came here, most of whom were introduced by Major Zhou. Later, when they heard that we were recruiting veterans, many people recommended themselves. want."

"Well, keep recruiting, first recruit fifty, and then there will be two or three people in a car, not many."

Wang Er probably knew Zhou Heng's plan, and asked excitedly: "Young Master Zhou, when will our company be established? Do you want to take a look at those comrades in arms first?"

"Don't read it, let's take it to learn how to drive first. Those who don't have a driver's license will all pay for them to take the test. They must take the test according to the strictest requirements. Don't let them be lazy."

Wang Er patted his chest and said, "No problem, those of us who came out of the army are the most security-conscious, and won't mess around."

"Well, are you still used to where you live? Now that the conditions are limited, we can only live in the suburbs first. If the company's performance improves in the future, I will build a new dormitory for them."

In order to accommodate these veterans, Zhou Heng rented an old dormitory building in the suburbs before the summer vacation. It was the staff building of a former factory. Later, the factory closed down and the house was vacant.

The house is old, but as a dormitory, it is well equipped.

Not only the dormitory building, Zhou Heng also rented out the old factory, and planned to transform it into a warehouse, which will be used as a stronghold of his logistics company in the future.

"It's already very good. Most of the people are from the countryside. The house at home is not as good as that dormitory building, and they are all here to work. Zhou Shao said that they are full of food and housing. They are all very happy."

Although the housing prices in Beishi are not high now, renting a house is still a big burden for practitioners with low wages.

"That's good. I'll ask someone to get all the certificates tomorrow, and then I'll book a car. It won't take a month for the company to open." Zhou Heng glanced at Wang Er, knocked on the table and said, "You can also Follow along, learn the process from beginning to end, you can't drive me for the rest of your life."

Wang Er was stunned for a moment, and said foolishly, "But... But I have no culture, and I don't speak well. I'm afraid I'll mess up your affairs."

Zhou Heng gave him a blank stare, "Many self-made entrepreneurs are uneducated, they can still do well, if they are not good at speaking, just practice more, just apply for a few certificates, who dares to embarrass you?"

Wang Er was moved to tears, and said "thank you" several times in a row. At this moment, he truly believed that Zhou Heng had raised him as a confidant.

Wang Er has always had a low self-esteem, especially after being abandoned by his girlfriend, he feels that he is incompetent and has nothing to ask for. Sometimes, even he himself feels that he is not good enough for his ex-girlfriend.

Now that the opportunity was in front of him, Wang Er was both excited and nervous. On the one hand, he was afraid that he would not do well, and on the other hand, he was reluctant to give up this golden road.

Although Zhou Heng said it simply, it is definitely not enough to just apply for a license, buy a car and recruit people to start a company. What he lacks most now is talents who can help him manage.

Unlike a restaurant, it is basically enough for a restaurant to have a chef in charge, but managing a company is not just based on one aspect.

He writes and draws in the office, and plans to come up with a framework first. A newly established company does not have to have a sound system, nor does it have to have a comprehensive development plan, as long as it can make a good start.

When Lei He came in, Zhou Heng had already finalized the general framework, and even estimated the number of recruits.

"You won't go to the kitchen to help wash the dishes, will you?" Zhou Heng looked at his sweaty clothes in surprise.

Lei He came in and closed the door, then took off his T-shirt and wiped the sweat off his face, "No, I've fought with those veterans before."

"Aren't you a bully? Didn't you disable my employees?" Zhou Heng asked amusedly.

"Of course not. Am I such an indiscriminate person? I have always been very measured when fighting with them. I don't want to be seen as a different kind."

Zhou Heng muttered to himself: You are an outlier in the first place.

"What are you busy with?" Lei He leaned under the air conditioner, poked his head to look at the paper in Zhou Heng's hand.

Zhou Heng simply handed it to him, "I plan to set up a logistics company this month, but after careful calculation, there are too many people missing."

Lei He didn't know much about these, so he gave it back after a few glances, "If you don't have enough people, just recruit them. Are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit people if you have money?"

Zhou Heng knocked on him dissatisfied, "It's okay to talk about other positions, as long as you can do things, but what about the position of general manager? I don't have any suitable candidates at hand."

To manage the company for him, first of all, this person must gain his trust and have real skills. Zhou Heng doesn't know such a high-end talent.

Lei He shrugged, "Don't ask me, you know everyone I know, and the people who have crossed paths with me are definitely not business elites, you can ask the old man if anyone has introduced you."

"I can only do this first... Lin Wanfeng and the others will come tonight, you go back and take a shower first, and report to the old man by the way, I won't go back to finish dinner."

Lei He put on the air-dried T-shirt, held his face and kissed him deeply, "No problem, then I'll go first."

"Get lost!" Zhou Heng kicked him with a smile, and continued to think hard.
