Chapter 118 Opening (I wish everyone a prosperous future in the Year of the Dragon.)
"Crackling, crackling, crackling..."
At nine o'clock in the morning on Friday, November 23, Ru Haocha Restaurant has officially opened. Guangzhou banned the setting off of firecrackers as early as 1992. In recent years, electronic firecrackers have been developed and have been widely praised.
Ruhao Tea Restaurant also used electronic firecrackers when it opened. It also bought a lot of balloons and filled them up before stepping on them. The sound was quite similar. In order to promote and get off to a good start, Kang Qirui asked his boss Guang to make a poster of "The First Hong Kong-style Tea Restaurant in Xiguan" and hang it at the gate. In this era, even Lao Guang is very fond of Hong Kong-style things in Hong Kong City. .
Kang Qirui also asked Tianxiu to persuade their young reporters to do an interview on Xiguan cuisine for this issue. Therefore, today's opening can be regarded as a very grand opening. There were a large group of neighbors, Director Ye from the neighborhood committee, and young reporters like Tianxiu, making it a cheap version of a press conference.
This time, the signboard of Ruhao Tea Restaurant is no longer written by Lao Dou, thus preventing the traitor tea restaurant from appearing again. The signboard was written by Kang Qirui himself and signed with the name of the owner of Phoenix Pavilion.
In short, the entire tea restaurant focuses on a strong style. Whether it’s the first Hong Kong-style tea restaurant in Xiguan, reporters or the words on the signboard, they are all full of style.
Under such pretentious publicity, the overall business of the tea restaurant on the first day was quite good, and it was basically full. There were even queues during the evening market. I just don’t know how many people here came for the 34% off grand opening promotion.
"A Rui, just let the big brother and the second brother take care of the tea restaurant matters. Come back and tell me how on earth I am going to investigate the union director?" A Yao looked at Kang Qirui had been busy all day and into the evening, still greeting guests, and became impatient.
"Third brother, how can we be in such a hurry about this kind of thing? When dealing with corrupt elements, it is important not to take action. If you do, you will die." Kang Qirui saw that there were only a few tables of customers and took a cup of milk tea. Come over and hand it to Ayao, sit in front of him and tell him not to worry.
"Then how are you going to collect evidence?" Ayao was naturally very anxious, as this was related to his future.
"So how are you doing with the investigation you were asked to investigate these days?" Kang Qirui asked.
When it comes to serious business, Ayao took out a notepad from his briefcase, opened it and said: "Look, the things in the trade union canteen are basically 50 to 1 yuan more expensive than those outside. While paying, I looked at the purchase order, and the purchase price was basically the same as what I learned when I went to the wholesale market. "
Kang Qirui flipped through it briefly and closed it. He said: "What do you think?" It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. It certainly cannot be all Kang Qirui directly tells Ayao to do, but he must let Ayao grow in the process.
"It's a pity that he has kept that account book locked. I think if there was that account book, the price on it might be the same as the price outside. He just got greedy for the price difference." Ayao looked pityful .
"What if it's different? What if the price on the shelf is better?" Kang Qirui asked.
"Isn't it possible? Will he not be greedy?" A Yao looked unbelieving, "I have been with him for two days and I know that he must be greedy. There must be something wrong with the account book, let me tell you. "
"Even if your feeling is true, you can't rely on your feelings. How can you prove it?" Kang Qirui is now giving a lecture, guiding the student Ayao.
A Yao thought for a while and said tentatively: "Looking for the director? Let him order the union director to hand over the account books and then check the accounts?"
"This can indeed solve the problem." Kang Qi Rui first affirmed, and then said: "But what does this have to do with your ability? Director, won't he directly ask the union director to hand over the account book? I asked you to check, just to see if you have any other There’s a way.”
"And, what if, I mean what if, he has no problem with the account book?" "How could it be possible? He..." Ayao wanted to say something else, but Kang Qirui interrupted directly: "Remember Fanshu Chang Do you want to ask Lao Dou to do the accounting? Fanshu Chang will do the accounting. Wouldn’t your union director think of it?”
A Yao was speechless when asked. He opened his mouth and said nothing. After a while, he said: "So I'm asking for your help, my dear brother."
"I can't figure it out internally, can you think about the outside?" Kang Qirui still asked in a guiding manner.
“Externally?” Ayao’s mind was racing and an idea suddenly struck him, “Are you saying there might be something wrong with the purchase price?”
"That's right. You went to the wholesale market to look at it, but you didn't really buy the goods. There must be room for bargaining if you really buy the goods. What's more, what kind of unit are you in? If your unit goes to buy the goods, can you Won't we give you the lowest price? There's no way we can give you the price." Kang Qirui confirmed Ayao's idea and thought it was something that could be investigated in depth.
"In this way, you go and see where the drinks, seasonings, etc. in your union's canteen are purchased, and then you ask the boss to go there to really purchase the goods and see the real purchases. What's the price?" Kang Qirui gave another practical suggestion.
"Okay, okay, I'll go now." After Ayao found the solution, he stood up excitedly and wanted to do it right away. Kang Qirui quickly grabbed him, "What time is it? Let's go tomorrow."
"Tomorrow is the weekend." Ayao said.
"That's more appropriate. It's just you. You can read the delivery list how you want." Kang Qirui felt that A Yao was really overly excited and acted like a fool who couldn't think. On the weekend Isn't that just right?
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Ruhao Tea Restaurant closed. Overall, the business is pretty good. Neighbors and tourists from nearby Xiajiu Road also come here to eat. There are also many people who buy a cup of milk tea when they enter the store. Kang Qirui asked the boss to set up a milk tea stall at the door. This attracts more customers who buy milk tea and prevents the seats in the store from being occupied by those who only buy milk tea and then wait. occupies the position at the same time, reducing the table turnover rate.
The happiest person on this day was Lao Dou. The eldest son he was most worried about also had his own career. He was really emotional and happy. He has always been worried about nothing. The only thing he worries about is his eldest son, Guang, the boss before he turns 40, who is single and widowed. After finally getting married, he was laid off and unemployed. As an old man, he was over 60 years old, and he was powerless to help.
Although the other sons are very promising, he still sighs often. Now that he is still here, his sons still take care of and respect the boss. If he is gone, will they still take care of him like this?
It's fine now. The eldest son has his own career, so he should have no worries in the future. Only then did he feel that he had no regrets in life, so after closing tonight, Lao Dou took the initiative to invite the whole family to have a midnight snack.
“Iron roosters can also grow hair?” The second sister-in-law was very surprised. She had been married into the Kang family for ten years, and this was the first time she saw Lao Dou taking the initiative to invite everyone to dinner.
"Old Dou is happy today. I'm afraid that unless my sister-in-law has a baby, I can't make him even happier than he is now." The second brother was also very emotional. It can be seen from many details that the second brother respects the big brother Guang the most. The big brother Guang really sacrificed a lot for his family and his younger brothers.
Although this meal was just an ordinary late-night snack from a street food stall, Boss Dou and Guang were both drunk. Lao Dou was happy, the second brother was emotional, and the big brother just drank with them.
