Siheyuan: Qin Huai Ru, Dong Xu Qing You

After eating a little, the children clamored to go out and play. Yang Lei didn't stop them and let them go out with the firecrackers to set them off.

Yang Lei continued to have New Year's Eve dinner with several women.

"Everyone is finally here today, except for one person."

Yang Lei raised his glass and said.

"One more person missing? Who is it?" The women looked at each other.

Qin Huairu suddenly remembered who it was, "I know who it is!"

"Who is it? Sister Huairu, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly." Yu Li asked anxiously.

"Huai Nu, you talk so much. If you can't control your mouth, go out and play with the children!" Yang Lei glared at Qin Huairu.

There must be rules at home!

Qin Huairu quickly lowered her head to eat and didn't dare to say anything more.

Yu Li didn't dare to ask any further questions.

Chapter 275: Who earns more in a year?

After Yang Lei said those harsh words, the other women were curious but didn't dare to ask.

“Okay, I have something to say.

After the New Year, I stopped working in the factory."

"Yang Lei, you want to resign?" Xu Huizhen was very surprised.

"Yes, resign."

"This is not good, Yang Lei.

You've become the director of the General Affairs Department, why are you resigning again?"

Although Qin Huairu was born in the countryside and learned some things from Xu Huizhen, her knowledge of such things was still limited by her own mindset.

She thought that Yang Lei's job as the director of general affairs was a good one.

Qin Huairu’s idea was not wrong.

But Yang Lei doesn't want to make a living by taking advantage of small profits.

He doesn't think much of it.

“I think resigning is a good idea.

I want to reopen the silk shop."

Chen Xueru supports Yang Lei very much.

She went to the street office to inquire, and although it didn't explicitly say that private shops could be opened, it didn't prohibit it either.

This matter is still in a vague state.

As policies change and slogans are put forward to encourage some people to get rich first, it is too late to take action.

Yang Lei laughed.

"Xue Ru is right, the silk shop can be opened.

Huizhen, what are your plans?"

Yang Lei looked at Xu Huizhen. He knew that Xu Huizhen's vision was higher than Chen Xueru's.

She definitely has ideas.

Xu Huizhen nodded: "Yang Lei, I want to rebuild the tavern."

The He family's tavern in Zhengyangmen has been closed for several years.

Due to poor management and the huge turmoil in recent years, no one dares to go there to chat.

Even Niu Ye didn’t go.

This tavern has closed down long ago.

"Huizhen, that's a good idea.

The tavern is a cultural symbol of our capital. Although it doesn't make much money, it is necessary to continue as a symbol."

Yang Lei first approved Xu Huizhen's idea of ​​reopening the tavern.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Yang Lei, I've already talked to the director, and she said the subdistrict office also wants to get rid of this trouble.

If I take over now, I won’t even have to pay for the redemption.”

“No, Hye-jin.

We cannot take a single cent from the government, no matter how much money we paid for the redemption.

This money must be returned.

But there is one condition: the ownership of the tavern must fall into our hands."

Yang Lei waved his hands and said that the subdistrict office was now getting rid of the burden.

After a few years or even more than ten years, every inch of land here will be worth a lot of money.

What can you do if someone wants to take the tavern back?

For Yang Lei, he knew that in Beijing, a place that could not be bought even with money in less than ten years.

How prosperous is the area around Qianmen Tower and Zhengyangmen in the south city?

Nanluoguxiang in Dongcheng District is a place that everyone who comes to travel to the imperial capital must visit.

The courtyard house at No. 95 Maoer Hutong, Nanluoguxiang, now belongs to Yang Lei.

Only Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong's families still lived in the backyard.

In addition to the door god Yan Fugui, there are four other families in the front yard.

Yang Lei has already planned to buy the houses of the other four households.

But the three most difficult to deal with are Yan Fugui, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao.

It will take some effort to buy their house.

But Yang Lei was not in a hurry.

"Yang Lei, I'll listen to you." Xu Huizhen felt that what Yang Lei said made sense, so she nodded in agreement.

"Huizhen, opening a small pub is really a bit of a waste of your talents."

Yang Lei said with a smile.

"Yang Lei, what else can I do if I don't open a pub?"

Xu Huizhen was naturally very happy when she heard Yang Lei say that opening a pub was a waste of her talent.

Yang Lei smiled calmly, he already had an idea.

“Huizhen, you can open a hotel or a restaurant.

After the New Year, there will be several times more people coming to the capital than before.

These people need a place to live and food to eat when they come here.

You can make a lot of money by opening a hotel or restaurant."

"Yang Lei, I have a different opinion on opening hotels and restaurants.

There are many state-owned hotels and restaurants in our imperial capital.

Why should outsiders who come here stay in our hotels and eat at our restaurants?"

Chen Xueru raised objections.

In fact, she said this not to refute Yang Lei, but because she felt uncomfortable.

Yang Lei just praised Xu Huizhen but did not mention her abilities, which made Chen Xueru feel very uncomfortable.

"Well said!" Yang Lei smiled. He did this just to provoke Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen have been competing secretly, but due to the great turmoil in the past ten years, the two could not compete and had to give up.

With the advent of reform and opening up, Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen were both holding back their energy, which was also what Yang Lei hoped to see.

So he deliberately praised Xu Huizhen without mentioning Chen Xueru, just to arouse Chen Xueru's enthusiasm.

really.

Chen Xueru was fooled and fell for Yang Lei's provocation.

"Xueru, have you ever stayed in a state-owned hotel? Have you ever eaten in a state-owned restaurant?"

Yang Lei asked Chen Xueru with a smile.

"Yang Lei, I'm not someone who hasn't seen the world.

I have stayed in hotels not only in the capital, but also in hotels in other places.”

“Very good, Xueru.

What do you think are the characteristics of these state-owned hotels?

Yang Lei nodded and continued to ask.

"What characteristics?"

This question really stumped Chen Xueru.

"Yang Lei, I know that the staff at state-owned hotels are all like uncles, and the guests staying in the hotel are all grandsons."

Xu Huizhen thought for a moment and then spoke first, "Haha, Huizhen hit the nail on the head! That's right, this is the characteristic of state-owned hotels! Not only hotels, but also state-owned restaurants are the same.

The service attitude was extremely poor, and the most ridiculous thing was that there was a small blackboard on the wall of the state-owned restaurant that said "Employees are prohibited from hitting customers at will."

Yang Lei was speechless. How could such a state-owned hotel not be eliminated?

Yang Lei asked, "Are you saying that the hotels and restaurants we open should start with service?"

Xu Huizhen used to run a pub, and she treated her customers as friends, which led to the pub becoming a booming business.

Later, Fan Jinyou became the public manager. He still followed the state-owned system and offended all the customers, so the tavern had to close.

Xu Huizhen has a deep understanding of this, so she got straight to the point: "That's right, start with the environment and service, especially the service, which is very important."

Yang Lei nodded in agreement.

He knew that everything was still state-owned in this era, and state-owned enterprise employees just went to work to get by. Whether they did a good job or not had nothing to do with them, and they had no sense of service at all.

"Service is the key. You must pay attention to this when opening a restaurant."

"Yang Lei, can I open a hotel and Xueru open a restaurant?"

Chen Xueru immediately wanted to surpass Xu Huizhen.

She used to run a pub, and although she is not very familiar with running a hotel now, she is willing to learn.

Xu Huizhen smiled and thought that Xueru was afraid that because she had run a tavern before, she would have an advantage in opening a restaurant.

If she were to run a hotel, Xueru could avoid this disadvantage.

The most important thing is that most of the people staying in hotels are from other places, while most of the people eating in restaurants are locals.

Chen Xueru had been running a silk shop in Zhengyangmen for many years. She felt that she had advantages in connections and felt that opening a restaurant would be more secure.

Xu Huizhen is obviously weaker in this aspect.

Chen Xueru was afraid that Xu Huizhen would compete with her, but she didn't expect Xu Huizhen to agree immediately.

"What about me?" Yu Li asked hurriedly.

Yang Lei had already left the Red Star Steel Mill, so she naturally didn't want to stay there.

Moreover, she had already filed for divorce from Yan Jiecheng, worried that if she continued to work at the steel mill, he would cause trouble every day.

"Yu Li, just continue to be an accountant.

Although the restaurant and hotel have separate accounts, they are both managed by the same group."

Yu Li was very happy with this arrangement.
