The next day, Lin Mo opened the box and took a look. Most of them were nutritious products and snacks, not so much for him, but for currying favor with the old lady, Lin Jian and the little fat man. Not surprisingly, Lin Mo found an envelope under the box. Lin Mo hesitated, and opened it. Inside was also a photo of Han Xun, but the person in the photo was much thinner than when he just left, and his face was transparent. Morbidly pale.
Lin Mo pursed his lips, turned the photo over, and wrote on it in gorgeous cursive script: [Don't miss me too much, I'll be back in a month. The ring will be worn by you when I come back, your Xun.]Lin Mo shook the envelope, and a platinum ring fell out of it. There were no diamonds, no patterns, and a simple ring, but it could easily attract the attention of others. Engraved inside the ring are two capital English letters: hx.
Lin Mo rubbed the ring, a smile flashed in his eyes very quickly, then his face turned cold again, and he muttered in a low voice: "Who cares, it's best not to come back forever." After speaking, he carefully put the ring into his pocket, Put the photo back in the envelope and put it back in the room. Before dawn, I rode a tricycle and went to the store with my grandma.
Last night, Lin Mo wasn't there, and Lin Dongmei was in charge of the store's affairs. Naturally, she was responsible for collecting the money. When Lin Mo arrived at the store, she handed over the neatly folded banknotes to him.
Lin Mo probably clicked, because it was Saturday, the turnover was more than usual. He put the money away, and said half-jokingly: "I think Miss Dongmei's accounting is better than the cashier in Dad's school. When you are free, go buy a few books on accounting and teach yourself. It would be good to be an accountant in the future." .”
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Lin Dongmei rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Then if I learn it, can you let me be your accountant?"
Lin Mo smiled and said, "I can't ask for it."
Lin Mo originally just said that Lin Dongmei really went to buy some accounting books and went home to study by herself in her free time. She had good grades in mathematics and was naturally sensitive to numbers and money. She learned quickly by herself and grasped the knowledge in the book in a short time. Later, when Lin Mo's hot pot restaurant opened, she actually worked as a part-time accountant for him. Later, he also took the CPA exam by himself. After Lin Mo's restaurant chain was fully developed, he sat firmly in the position of chief financial officer, making others envious. Of course, these are things for later.
As early as the beginning of October, the store launched porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat. In the thick porridge made from the new rice of that year, large preserved eggs and lean meat, accompanied by a faint fragrance of onion and ginger, became people's new favorite for a while. Many people specifically want to buy preserved eggs in the store. However, there are many cases of people being poisoned by eating preserved eggs. Lin Mo didn't want to get into trouble for a little money, so he didn't do this. Instead, he generously introduced the company that made preserved eggs to everyone. Many people really went there . The business in that store was better, and they knew that Lin Mo had introduced the business for them. Later, Lin Mo went to their store to buy preserved eggs, and they refused to charge processing fees no matter what they said.
By the end of October, the salted eggs made by Lin Mo gradually tasted good. He asked the old lady to cook some and sell them every day. All the money from the sale went to her. The old lady was very happy. Half a month later, the golden red and oily salted duck eggs conquered every customer's picky taste buds. Seeing that the time was right, Lin Mo packed the soaked salted duck eggs into a box of ten with the exquisite cartons he had previously ordered at a local paper factory, and put them in the shop for sale. A box can earn four dollars. The sale is limited to 25 boxes a day, and it is often sold out early in the morning. It is easy to get a hundred or so yuan. After a month, it can cover more than half of the workers' wages. Adding in the sale of dumplings, it is completely solved. As for salary, the other items of income are almost purely earned, excluding materials. Calculated in a month, it would cost tens of thousands.
By the end of November, Lin Mo had paid off the money borrowed from Lin Changqing, and after deducting the daily expenses, he had only saved less than 50,000 yuan.
The newly developed commercial street will officially sell shops next month. There are two shops downstairs facing the street, a utility room, complete kitchen and bathroom, two large rooms upstairs, and a small yard outside. The house area is about 200 square meters, including the free small yard, about 200 Eighty square meters. Such a layout is very suitable for the catering industry. In the early stage of development, the municipal party originally wanted to build a food street. Against the background of the financial turmoil, the country has policies to support real estate development to stimulate domestic demand. In addition, the streets are developed directly outside the edge of the old urban area and in some suburban areas. The minimum price per square meter of the pavement itself is only 1800. The highest is only three thousand five. No one would have imagined that in just five or six years, the housing prices here have doubled or tripled. After more than ten years, in this food street, even the worst location, the first floor and the bottom are worthless. Four or five million yuan is absolutely impossible to get. This comparison, today's house price is simply the price of cabbage.
But the "cabbage" worth three to five million yuan is not something everyone can afford. Anyone who is well-informed in the county has long been thinking about the idea of this commercial street. Before the root of the wall is erected, the houses have already been booked, and the rest are some places that are really not good. OK Developers have already made money in their pockets, and it doesn't matter whether these houses in poor locations are sold or not. Want to buy, no less meaning, we only accept full payment.
Lin Mo has been coveting the houses here for a long time, but he only has 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in his hands, not to mention buying shops, this money is enough to decorate the hot pot restaurant and maintain the early turnover. The house at home has been mortgaged to the bank. Even if the small shop is sold out, plus the deposit, it will cost a hundred thousand yuan at most. Want to buy a shop? Or save it!
But if it's just renting a shop, Lin Mo is somewhat unwilling. Firstly, the value of the shopfronts in this area has risen rapidly, and the real rich people who bought these shopfronts now came here with the mentality of waiting for the appreciation to do business and collect rent. How can anyone give up the shopfronts easily? On the other hand, if you really go to rent a shop to do business, the landlord will not say anything if the business is not good. If the business is good, all kinds of moths will be born. Doing business pays attention to harmony and making money. If you really encounter such a landlord who is exhausting you, or drives you away for some reason, how can you do business for a long time?
If Lin Mo could concentrate on his business, these problems would not be difficult to solve, but the problem is that he has to go back to school after the Chinese New Year, and his father has never done business at all, so how can he cope with this one after another? question?
A penny is hard for a hero, Lin Mo thinks about it, and the only way to borrow such a large sum of money is Han Xun.
Lin Mo is a very down-to-earth person. In his opinion, borrowing money from Han Xun is different from self-esteem, and the two are not contradictory. After all, he was asking him to borrow money, not asking him for money. When he has more money, his brother will settle the account clearly, and he will definitely pay him back as much as he wants.
But now that he is not here and can't be contacted, God knows when he will come back. Lin Mo only hoped that Han Xun would come back before those shops were sold out.
Old Du made a lot of money by reselling goods a few years ago. Now he only runs a few modest stationery stores. How can he satisfy his ambition? He has been paying attention to the shops in the new commercial street for a long time, and he also wants to switch to the catering industry. He is very optimistic about Lin Mo, and he has hinted at it several times. trick.
Seeing that the store was about to enter the sales stage, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he simply asked Lin Mo to clarify. He really wanted to cooperate with Lin Mo sincerely, and promised that after the store opened, all expenses and costs would be counted on him, and Lin Mo would get a 30% bonus if he invested in technology.
For ordinary chefs, such conditions are already very attractive and attractive, but for Lin Mo, no matter how good the conditions are, he is not as good as being his own boss. Given that the relationship with Lao Du has always been good, Lin Mo didn't hide his idea of opening a shop. He only said that a relative was willing to lend him a sum of money to buy a shop, and planned to run it himself in the future.
Speaking of this, Lao Du no longer insisted, and only said that he and the developer of the new business district are friends, and if there is anything that needs his help, just ask.
Like Lao Du, he can only eat but can’t cook. He has never been in the catering industry. It is not difficult to make money from this industry just by hiring masters from outside. difficulty. Seeing that Lao Du had a lot of money left in his hands, Lin Mo suggested that he could use the money to invest in the real estate market.
Old Du was skeptical. Later, a friend urged him to start a joint venture construction company. He gritted his teeth and invested all his money in it. In just a few years, he made a lot of money. Thinking about it afterwards, it was impossible not to admire Lin Mo's vision.
After rejecting Old Du, Lin Mo could only secretly and anxiously wait for Han Xun to come back.
Han Xun actively cooperated with the treatment, coupled with his own tenacious willpower, by the end of November, he finally completely quit the drug addiction and was discharged from the hospital. However, after three months of long treatment, although the drug addiction is gone, the body is really damaged, the whole person is thin and empty, and the muscles that he was proud of are almost gone. He was anxious to see Lin Mo, and he clamored to go to country Z as soon as he was discharged from the hospital. How could his family agree?
In the end, Han's father, who had been seldom in charge, issued a death order and was not allowed to leave the ancestral house until Han Xun's health was recovered. When his father spoke, Han Xun died immediately. In the Han family, if one were to say who Han Xun was most afraid of, the old man would be the first. Although the old man seldom intervened in company affairs or family affairs after handing over the work to his eldest brother, and he looked kind and friendly all day long, but once he got angry, it was definitely at the level of a prehistoric volcanic eruption. When Han Xun was disobedient and noisy when he was a child, the old man glared at him, and he was sure to shut up obediently.
After so many years, the old man's prestige is still there, and Han Xun can only stay at home listlessly when he gave an order. Han's mother is an absolutely loving mother, and she has always been obedient to Han Xun, an old man. If the old man hadn't shocked him, Han Xun would have been raised by her as a playboy. She was originally not happy that Han Xun left her to go across the ocean to country Z, but now that the old man asked her son to stay, she was so happy that she no longer stared at the pregnant eldest daughter-in-law all day long, consuming all her energy On Baby Yao'er, every day the chef asked the chef to stew various supplements for Han Xun in different ways.
Not to mention Han Xun's nose bleeds from being fed by her, the body of a young man eats these hot and tonic foods every day, and the person he likes is not around. Han Xiaoren has incomparably charming dreams every night, and his whole body is almost suffocated.
In desperation, he had no choice but to put his extra energy on official business.
As early as the end of August, just before Han Xun returned to country m to quit drug addiction, Sheng Tang grandly launched the first instant messaging software in China—momo. Although the Internet penetration in country z is still quite low, it has successfully owned the first batch user. Although Jin Xin, the company manager of Shengtang, does not understand software technology, he is very good at marketing. In addition, he has a wide network of connections. Momo itself is very mature. It has only been three months since it was launched, and it has grown from the initial 3 users. It has grown to tens of thousands of users, and this number is snowballing with the popularity of computers.
After momo went public, Zhao Yunfei and Wang Yong gathered a group of talented students from Qingda University to actively develop some simple and easy-to-use games according to Han Xun's ideas. The rules of the game are simple, and most of the operations can be completed with the mouse alone, but it is not lacking in fun. These mini-games kept appearing on major forums, and Sheng Tang's reputation grew with each passing day, gradually leaving a deep impression on the hearts of netizens.
While developing free mini-games, Zhao Yunfei and Wang Yong selected a group of outstanding talents, some of whom participated in the development of large-scale 2D online games that Tang Dynasty wanted to launch in the future, and some of them focused on the development of stand-alone games. Han Xun originally planned to have a foot in the portal website, but seeing that they were too aggressive, they secretly issued a warning. Fortunately, the person Han Xun was looking for had been found, so he gave up this plan and focused on On momo and game development.
Han Xun, the behind-the-scenes boss, is really competent. Since the establishment of Shengtang, he has visited the company as many times as he can count on two palms, and he has never shown himself a few times at all. Many things are commanded by remote control through the phone. After he went to quit his drug addiction, he couldn't even get through the phone. Everything was done by the three of Jin Xin. If he hadn't had enough funds, the three of them would probably have left their burdens and left. .
Now that Han Xun started to manage the company's affairs again, Jin Xin wanted to hand over everything to him, but it was a pity that Zhao Yunfei and Wang Yong acted first, and finally hoped that Han Xun would appear, and they would not let him go if they were caught. Technical problems hit Han Xun one after another, and the nourishing soup he drank consumed all the nutrition in minutes.
After more than half a month, some of the flesh on Han Xun's body returned. The old man saw that he was in charge of his own company's affairs in black and white all day long, and his wife often stayed up late with him, so he let him go back to country Z with a big hand. Han Xun asked someone to book a plane ticket for him that day, and got on the plane the next afternoon. On the plane, he planned to give Lin Xiaomo a big surprise. Sitting next to him, Ah Hu didn't even dare to mention the 'ruthless words' he said when he gave Lin Mo a birthday present. Seeing his young master's enthusiasm, he felt more and more disturbed.
