Zheng Guangtao really didn't expect that Li Xiucheng would have such great ability. The mayor of Wuhu City and the mayor of Xingrong City didn't even know each other, and they spoke so casually.
And from that tone, the other party still valued him!
After all, having the mayor of a city call him personally to invite him to a meeting is not a treatment that ordinary people can enjoy.
After the shock, the two chatted while eating.
"How many days will Mr. Zheng plan to stay here?"
"I have nothing to do these days, so I plan to visit Xingrong City." Zheng Guangtao thought for a moment and said, "The business of the billiards center is very booming. What does Mr. Li think of me opening one in Tong County?"
"Tong County?"
Li Xiucheng put down his chopsticks. Most of the inland counties are not very good now, and the economy is very poor. To be honest, it is really difficult to support the customer flow of such a large billiards center in Tong County.
“The billiards center is a little too big.”
After thinking about it, he still said truthfully: “To be honest, we also accept franchisees now.
The first franchisee is on the edge of Zehu Lake in Wuhu City. It is currently renovating the main part of the building and will open next month. The scale there is much larger than here.
Your idea is good, but Tong County is too small and cannot afford such a large scale. In fact, Boss Zheng can open a slightly larger billiards hall. "
Thinking about the terrifying passenger flow he just saw below, Zheng Guangtao also knew that what Li Xiucheng said was true. The passenger flow in Tong County was not even the slightest bit worse than here.
"How about Boss Zheng? If you want to open a billiards hall, I will give you the billiards table at a friendly price of 20% off."
"Thank you very much. I'll bother Mr. Li when I think about it."
"good."
"By the way, Mr. Li, can you take me with you when you go to Wuhu? I'm very curious about the new billiards center and want to visit it."
Zheng Guangtao is still a little reluctant. Although the county town cannot provide it, what if the central location is set at the old dock?
There is an old grain depot that has been left over there. It will be fully usable after reconstruction. The old wharf will be renovated successfully. It will be very convenient to get to Tong County from Lubian County, Daguan County, Liangyi County, and the round trip only takes more than an hour, which can completely attract guests from the surrounding area.
Seeing that he was still a little unwilling, Li Xiucheng didn't care. It didn't matter if there was one more person or one less person, so he agreed immediately.
"No problem. Boss Zheng will play here tomorrow. I will pick you up at noon the day after tomorrow."
"well."
After the meal, the two went downstairs. Zheng Guangtao went on to play billiards. Li Xiucheng came to the office. The door was open, and several staff members were eating inside.
Li Xiucheng walked up to Hu Yingmei and looked at it. When he saw that there were only two vegetables, he couldn't help asking: "Why is there no meat and the food standard is so low?"
"Ah!" Hu Yingmei was startled. When she looked up and saw that it was Li Xiucheng, she couldn't help but said: "You are the boss! He suddenly made a sound, which shocked me."
"Unexpected!" Li Xiucheng laughed, "Old Xiao is so stingy that he won't let me eat meat."
Don't change the topic too obviously!
Hu Yingmei laughed: "Yes! But today's one is too fat. I don't like eating it, so I didn't eat it!"
"Okay!" Li Xiucheng is a carnivore, but he doesn't agree with this view. He waved his hand and said: "You continue to eat, I'll call Hu Changan. Didn't that guy say he wants to come back? Why hasn't he made any move even after I came back from the United States? !”
Hearing this, Hu Yingmei chuckled, "I know, I originally said I was going to come back ten days ago, but then I caught him on a blind date."
Blind date?
Li Xiucheng was stunned for a moment, but he was right.
Nowadays, people don’t get married as late as later generations. Hu Changan and he are both 25 years old. It’s time to consider personal issues. You must know that Duoduo is already able to make soy sauce!
Now he became interested, sat down and took the phone and started making calls.
Speaking of Hu Changan, he is now a popular man in the county.
From riding a tractor back to purchase bluestone slabs to now helping Li Xiucheng look after the huge quarry, in the eyes of ordinary people, his status has been rising steadily, and everyone is envious that he has followed the right person.
When those three aunts and six wives knew that Hu Changan was still single, they immediately got excited and ran to his house every day.
Those who said they were close to each other almost crossed the threshold, but Hu Changan's old mother was extremely happy.
But Hu Changan has been following Li Xiucheng for a long time, and his vision has become higher. After meeting three or four girls at the urging of his mother, he didn't feel anything, so he became a little annoyed about it.
I was about to find an excuse to leave home and go to Xingrong City for some peace and quiet, when I got a call from Li Xiucheng.
When Li Xiucheng asked about the blind date straight to the point, he said with a sullen face: "No, it didn't work out. I was about to tell my mother to go to Xingrong City to help you right away."
"Don't worry, the blind date is a big deal."
"No, Brother Xiucheng, this matter is not urgent. I'd better go to Xingrong."
"oh!"
Li Xiucheng realized now that Hu Changan really didn't want to go on a blind date, and said with a smile, "I'm so sorry, I really want you to do something in Changning County."
"Ah? Then tell me, I'll take care of it right away." When it came to business, Hu Changan also became serious.
"Aren't we a lot of bricklayers and carpenters over there? Find two familiar people to help recruit some people to form an engineering team. The number of people is tentatively estimated to be around a hundred people."
"So many people?"
"It's still a small amount. Let's build a skeleton first. After doing two projects to get familiar with it, we'll have to add more people."
"Okay, there are actually quite a lot of idle old men here. It will definitely be easy to recruit people."
Hu Changan was already very familiar with the situation in the county, and he immediately assessed the difficulty of this matter in his mind. Moreover, he also had several relatives in this industry, so it was not easy to find people with connections.
As long as we put up some airs quickly, wouldn't we still be able to leave Changning?
In an instant, he had already thought about it. He would use this matter as an excuse to refuse his old mother's blind date arrangement when he returned, and then finish the work quickly and return to Xingrong.
...
The next day, near five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiucheng picked out the gifts, took Su Xiaomeng and Duoduo and drove to Su's house.
"By the way, Xiaomeng, we have to leave tomorrow."
Seeing that he was about to reach the end of the road, Li Xiucheng suddenly remembered Mayor Luo's invitation yesterday and mentioned it.
"Ah?" Su Xiaomeng was holding Duoduo and was thinking about how to persuade Xu Jinling later. She was a little stunned when she heard this: "If you didn't say next week, why is it so early?"
"I'm going to Wuhu City for a meeting tomorrow. It's too time-consuming to go back and forth. I might as well go there together tomorrow, only three days in advance."
"I'll clean it up when I get back tonight."
"You don't need to bring too many things, just toiletries and a set of clothes. We'll buy them after we get there."
"good!"
While talking, they arrived downstairs, parked the car and went upstairs. The family was already waiting there. Zhou Huiqin informed Su Jiaqiang yesterday that he also deliberately left work early.
When Li Xiucheng put down what he was carrying, Su Xiaomeng smiled calmly and said, "This is a small gift Xiucheng brought from the United States. Sister-in-law, please get up."
"It's coming, it's coming." Xu Qiaoling got out of it, her eyes ran across the colorful packaging, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Xiucheng, Xiaomeng, sit down quickly. Haohao, hurry up and get candy for Duoduo."
