Chapter 395 Father-in-law returns to the city
"Sister Huizhen, you guys have some rest first, I'll go and settle the account."
"No! I'll do it!" Xu Huizhen said hurriedly.
Although Li Jia said he would treat him, she didn't plan to let him treat him.
"Okay, Sister Huizhen, I'll just ask me if I ask. You can't argue with me." Li Jia hurriedly stopped her and said.
"Okay!"
She knew that Li Jiayi was not short of a meal, so she didn't insist anymore.
As soon as Li Jiayi came outside, a waiter ran over and asked, "Boss, do you need anything else?"
"No need, I'll check out."
"Ah! You are..." The waiter didn't understand. Do you still need to check out when having a meal at his restaurant?
"I'll go and go through the process."
"Oh! I understand."
"Okay, we've finished eating here, you can go ahead and do your business!"
"Okay."
Li Jiayi came downstairs, went to the front desk to get a bottle of Coke, and then said hello to the cashier.
Yes, it is Coke. Currently, only three restaurants under his name have this kind of drink.
Coke entered the domestic market for the first time in 1927. At that time, Coca-Cola and Watsons Soda were jointly produced and were mainly sold in Magic City.
In 1949, Coke withdrew from the domestic market.
Until 1979, Coca-Cola keenly captured the signs of "China and the United States breaking the ice", announced its return to the domestic market, and cooperated with COFCO to become the first foreign company to officially enter the domestic market.
Li Jiayi was also the first person to introduce Coke to the hotel.
Although this thing is not a good thing, it is very attractive to children, especially those who are brought to a restaurant for dinner by adults.
But at this time, Coke was not a plastic bottle, but a glass bottle.
I directly snatched the bottle cap with my hand and took a sip, which was no different from the taste of later generations.
"Boss, I'll bring you a chair?" said a waiter.
"No, I'll leave after drinking Coke."
"Okay then!"
After drinking a bottle of Coke, Li Jiayi burped, but it was actually a bubble burp. This is the case with drinking Coke.
Putting the bottle in the cashier, Li Jia turned around and went upstairs.
When we arrived at the private room, neither Xu Huizhen nor the two architects had the intention to leave, and we probably had to rest for a while.
"Add one, you'll spend money." Xu Huizhen said.
Because she knew that today's meal was no cheaper than last time.
"Sister Huizhen, what are you talking about! It's just a meal. If you want to eat, I'll treat you next time."
Don’t say that this is his own restaurant, even if it is not, he won’t care!
"Okay! You are the boss, it's normal to eat your meal."
"Sister Huizhen, you'll think so."
After resting for a while, everyone walked out. After they arrived outside the hotel, they separated.
He doesn't go to a real estate company, so of course he has to separate!
After Xu Huizhen and the others left, Li Jiayi returned to the hotel.
"Boss, what are your instructions?"
"I'll go to the office to rest and bring me a pot of boiling water in."
"Okay boss."
The office that Li Jiayi was going to was of course the general manager's office, which is Lin Ling'er's office in the hotel.
Lin Ling'er is not here today, so there is no one in the office either.
As soon as I arrived at the office, the waiter came in with a boiling kettle.
"Boss, the boiling water you want."
"Yeah! Don't worry."
"Yes."
After the waiter went out, Li Jiayi picked up a tea cup, put some spiritual tea in, and poured boiling water.
After thinking about it, Li Jia picked up the phone on his desk and called Qiu Rizhai.
Until the ringing ended, no one answered the phone. Li Jiayi knew that either Lin Ling'er was not in Qiurizhai or was busy outside.
But there is nothing in the hotel that needs her to work on! The only possibility is that Lin Ling'er is in Xiayue Tower.
He put down the microphone, picked it up again, and then called Xia Yuelou.
Sure enough, the phone rang twice and the phone was connected.
"Hey, this is Xiayue Tower. Who are you?"
"My wife, it's me."
"Add one, why are you? Is there anything wrong with calling me?"
"I'm here in Chunfeng Pavilion. Seeing that you are not here, I will call you. Are you very busy there?"
"Not busy! I'm just paying this month's account."
"Oh!"
"By the way, my dad asked me to send a message to Lijia Village."
"Is there anything wrong with asking you to go back to Lijia Village?"
"I don't know, so I told me to go back, so I plan to go over and take a look tomorrow."
As for whom I asked to send a message, there are more. Not to mention how many people in Lijia Village work in the city now, there are also many working in hotels!
I guess who went back and sent a message when I came here.
"Okay, if you want to go back, do you need me to accompany you?"
"No, just be busy with your own."
In the past, Lin Ling'er wanted to go to Lijia Village, so she could only send it to Li Jiayi. Now she has a car herself, so she can go back at any time if she wants to.
"Okay then!"
"By the way, let's install a phone number for Lijia Village! It just so happens that the family also needs to install one."
Hearing Li Jiayi say this, Lin Ling'er thought for a while and said, "It's okay to pretend at home, just apply, but if you install a telephone in Lijia Village, you have to go to Changping to apply."
"Then apply, it won't cost much anyway."
Of course, this is for Li Jiayi. It is not cheap to install a phone in this era, and a phone costs 3,600 yuan.
In other words, the money for installing this phone is the salary of a level 8 worker who does not eat or drink for three years.
It is probably only Li Jiayi who dares to say that there is not much money.
"Okay! I'll give the money to my uncle in the future and let my uncle apply! It's easier to apply in the name of the brigade."
"Yeah! You can do this, I just feel that it will be more convenient to have a phone call."
"Yes."
"By the way, add one, I'll tell you something."
"Oh! What's the matter?"
"Someone is looking for me and wants to sell the hotel to us."
Hearing Lin Ling'er say this, Li Jia frowned and asked, "Who is looking for you? Why do you want to sell a hotel?"
"Why do I know why I want to sell a restaurant? As for whom I am looking for, I am from the Commercial Bureau."
"The people from the Commercial Bureau, that is, they are selling state-owned hotels?"
"Yes, and it's a big hotel. Although it can't be compared with our three hotels, it's not much smaller."
Li Jiayi touched his chin and said, "I can't continue to do it anymore. I know that our business is good, so I want to sell it to us."
"Maybe, you don't know that since our three restaurants opened, the business of those hotels has been getting worse every day."
"Let's do this! Let's talk about this when you come back from Lijia Village." Li Jia thought a lot about why the Commercial Bureau sold the hotel to him.
You know, this is a state-owned hotel! Although these restaurants are currently under the name of the Commercial Bureau, it is not so easy to sell them, because the Commercial Bureau is only in charge of the Commercial Bureau.
Yes, state-owned units belong to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, but units like hotels cannot be directly managed by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and they are all handed over to the Commercial Bureau for management.
So whether to sell or partner must be clear. If it is a partnership, Li Jiayi will never do it.
Even if he can't take the big head, he doesn't want to deal with those people.
Some people said that it’s great to be on the back of a big tree to enjoy the cool air, but is that really that true?
No, any person who comes to you may point fingers at you, and even in a few years, you will have to say anything about it.
As a person who came here in later generations, Li Jiayi was very clear about this.
So even if you buy it, you either buy it all or don’t buy it, even if it accounts for 90%.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jiayi came out of the hotel. He did not go to Xiayuelou, but drove home directly.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
I originally thought Lin Ling'er would come back very late today, but I didn't expect that Lin Ling'er would come back home after he got home.
"Hey, why did you come back so early today?"
"Don't you go back to Lijia Village tomorrow! So I'll come back after finishing the accounts."
"Oh, right."
"Ling'er is back? Go wash your hands and have dinner."
"Okay mom, I'll go now."
The whole family had a meal together, and after dinner, my parents went out.
It's summer now! It was dark late, and it was still bright after supper.
After my parents went out, Li Jiayi and his wife were left at home.
"By the way, you go back tomorrow to bring something to your grandparents."
"What do you bring?"
"Grandma likes to eat sesame salt, bring some sesame salt, and also bring some royal bee honey and cigarettes."
"Okay, I get it, take the cigarette from your cabinet."
"Yes."
"I'll prepare it for you tomorrow morning."
"Yeah!"
At around nine o'clock, the two of them went back to the house to sleep.
No words all night.
Li Jiayi got up early the next morning.
After getting up, I took out four bottles of sesame salt and two bottles of royal bee honey, which was prepared for grandma.
As for cigarettes, this one doesn't need to be taken from the space, because there are a lot of them in the cabinet and they are all good cigarettes.
Even my dad took the cigarettes from his cabinet.
After breakfast, Lin Ling'er drove away. After she set off, Li Jiayi also drove away from home.
Last night, I learned from Lin Ling'er that the hotel to be sold to him was Taifeng Building.
So Li Jiayi wants to come here to take a look.
Taifeng Building is also a time-honored brand, but when the public and private business was jointly operated, the boss donated directly, so it became a pure state-owned enterprise.
It is quite large here, with a construction area of about 400 square meters and only two floors.
Downstairs is the lobby, and upstairs are private rooms.
If you take this place down, the price will not be cheaper.
It's not the same now. It has been reopened and the housing prices are much higher than before.
For locations like Taifeng Building, the housing price on the first floor is at least 350 yuan per square meter.
Even on the second floor, it is estimated that one square meter will cost 250 yuan.
The upper and lower floors are 800 square meters, and the price of the house alone costs more than 200,000 yuan, which is nothing else.
Li Jia did not go in, but sat in the car and watched.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, but Li Jiayi found that there were very few people coming here to have dinner.
From eleven o'clock to twelve, a total of thirteen people were in.
This is noon! There were only thirteen people coming to have a meal, and even if each person spent an average of ten yuan, it was only more than one hundred.
Even if there are more people at night and you can turn it over a few times, there will be only a lot of flowing water on this day.
Based on 600 yuan, it is 18,000 yuan a month. Although I don’t know how many people there are in this restaurant, this amount of money, except for various expenses, is probably not enough to pay the salary.
No wonder I had to sell it.
After starting the jeep, Li Jiayi left directly and soon arrived at Qiurizhai.
"Boss."
"Yes! Let He Yuzhu cook two dishes for me, and I'll eat them in the lobby."
"Okay boss, you can find a place to sit first. I'll inform Master He now."
"Okay."
Li Jiayi came over to have dinner alone, and he didn't need to order food at all, because He Yuzhu knew very well what he liked to eat.
I just found a place to sit down and the waiter brought me tea.
Of course, the tea he gave him was different from others'. This is the best tea in a restaurant.
Only a very small number of VIPs can drink this, but it doesn't matter to Li Jiayi.
If he hadn't eaten in the lobby, he wouldn't have asked the waiter to give him this tea.
Twenty minutes later, the waiter brought two dishes, one was boiled sliced meat and the other was shredded pepper.
The staple food was a bowl of rice, and at this time Li Jiayi took out a flat wine pot in sterling silver from his pocket.
This is not an old antique, but a man made it himself and is specially used to hold wine.
This pot doesn't contain much, and at most it only contains half a pound. This is what he prepared for himself when he goes out.
Because he couldn't take out the wine he brewed outside, he made such a wine pot.
This wine pot is usually placed in the space and taken out when needed.
After eating a few bites of the dishes, Li Jia opened a wine pot and took a sip.
After a meal, all the wine in the wine pot was drunk, and this little wine was nothing to him.
After dinner, Li Jiayi drove to Anxin Transportation Company in a car.
Sure enough, when he came over, he didn't see Liu Jianshe. This kid was still very obedient and probably was staring outside at this time.
Li Jiayi washed the teapot first, took out the tea leaves from the space, brewed a pot of tea for himself, and then lay on the recliner where Liu Jianshe was lying on the recliner before.
No wonder this kid likes to lie down every day, let alone, it’s pretty good to lie here to drink tea.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jiayi got up from the recliner and turned off the electric fan. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep while lying down.
It's not too early, so he can go home too.
Back at the gate of the No. 7 Courtyard, Li Jiayi saw the Lincoln car driven by his wife parked outside the gate.
Needless to say, the wife has returned from Lijia Village.
After parking the car and locking it, Li Jiayi hurriedly walked home.
As soon as I entered the cross-yard, I heard someone talking in the room, and it seemed to be my brother-in-law's voice.
Li Jia hurried back to the house. Sure enough, not only his elder brother-in-law was there, but also his father-in-law, second brother-in-law and brother-in-law were there.
"Dad, brother and second brother, brother-in-law, why are you here?"
"I'm back one, we're going back to the city and we're here to discuss it with you."
