With funds in hand, Li Wu began to expand again. Although housing prices have begun to pick up now, no one knows whether this is a temporary rebound or whether it will continue to fall in the future? Only Li Wu knew that it would keep rising from now on.
In the next few days, Li Wu accelerated its branch operations and quickly opened 8 more cities and entered the renovation stage. This means that Li Wu has completed all layouts in 15 third- and fourth-tier cities in Guangyuan Province.
January.
With the opening of 8 city branches, Li Wu has a total of 16 large shopping malls.
Ning Xue was also officially appointed as the deputy general manager of the May chain headquarters, responsible for personnel and employee service assessment.
The shopping mall currently no longer needs to expand. Due to competition from other large shopping malls, the net profit of the Hengzhou branch is not as high as that of branches in other third- and fourth-tier cities. This has also made Li Wu temporarily give up his plan to expand in second-tier cities. .
Now in 2002, Li Wu is thinking, what other businesses are not currently being paid attention to but have huge prospects in the future?
While studying the diary carefully, Li Wu was also recalling his past life. Taking advantage of the funds and the advantage of foresight, he took advantage of the hot industry in the future.
When he came to the window and saw the noise of a truck rolling past on the avenue outside, an idea flashed in Li Wu's mind!
Freight... Logistics!
Nowadays, the development trend of the Internet is slow, and many people are not used to online shopping. The logistics industry is far from being as prosperous as in previous generations. Many logistics companies that were famous in previous generations are now only in their infancy, and their goals are all in logistics and freight. Small express delivery is still Postal Express is the dominant company!
Li Wu has thought about it for a long time. As long as the logistics and express delivery business is expanded, there will naturally be benefits. Not only will it have sufficient delivery time for the supply of goods in May shopping malls, but it will also save costs, make profits from logistics, and plan for the future in advance.

Li Wu called Du Yuan and told him his thoughts. Du Yuan is now the general manager of the May chain headquarters, not the branch general manager.
Du Yuan knew that Li Wu was actually not asking for his opinion, but a notification. He was already used to it. Apart from support, what else could he say...
Li Wu asked Du Yuan to pay attention to any logistics companies in the market that needed financing or transfer.
As for why not to re-establish a logistics company, Li Wu also had other considerations. It would be good to have an existing logistics company. It can be operated directly after acquisition, which can save a lot of time and also have a ready-made and skilled employee team.
After chatting with Du Yuan for a while, he just hung up the phone.
There was a knock on the door.
Opening the door, I saw Lin Wei with a happy face, holding several packages of various vegetables in her hands.
"I just knew you were at home, old classmate, how are you? You must have not eaten! Here, the vegetables are bought, ha! Let's start cooking!!"
Lin Wei was not polite, she came in, carried the vegetables to the kitchen, and started washing rice and cooking!
Li Wu shook his head. This girl regarded this place as her home. She always came here to buy food and asked him to cook it. She also said that the food she cooked was delicious, but Li Wu remembered that Hu Manman had eaten it. She said the food she cooked was barely edible, not delicious at all, let alone something that would make people want to come back for more!
If you want to cheat, just say so, and even praise yourself for the delicious food, just think you are stupid...
When they came to the kitchen, Lin Wei was already picking leaves and washing vegetables. Li Wu was responsible for cooking the dishes, and Lin Wei was the one who helped. She was responsible for washing vegetables and dishes. It was precisely because of this that Li Wu reluctantly accepted Lin Wei. Wei came here to have a meal, at least she wasn't the kind of person who would just pat her butt and leave, leaving a mess for herself...
After dinner, Lin Wei was cleaning up in the kitchen, and Li Wu was watching TV in the living room. Suddenly, he felt something strange. The two of them were eating together, and Lin Wei went to wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen, and watched TV by herself, acting like the master of the house. , and Lin Wei, just like the hostess - the feeling of a housewife!
I felt funny in my heart, how could I have such an idea? They are just here for a meal, but I actually want to eat other people’s tofu. I am really not a human being!
I only have that little girl Hu Manman in my heart! I won't feel sorry for her!
In the current situation, I don’t feel sorry for Hu Manman or anything. After all, it was just eating and washing dishes. Li Wu thought it was normal. Could it be that when he came to his own house to eat, he had to do the washing himself?
It's not like I was washing my own clothes. What's wrong with that? I really thought too much, and Lin Wei definitely didn't think too much either. The two of them just have a good relationship as classmates.
He smiled bitterly and stopped thinking about it. The TV series "Single by Strength", which was very popular at that time, was playing on the TV. Li Wu also liked this TV series at first.
After watching it for a while, I found that Lin Wei seemed to be very busy. She came in and out of the room several times, but Li Wu didn't pay attention. It wasn't until he heard the sound of the washing machine starting that Li Wu realized something was wrong. When he entered the room, he saw that Lin Wei was putting the clothes he had changed into the washing machine for cleaning. She also folded the messy clothes in his closet neatly. …
Seeing Li Wu coming over, Lin Wei said with contempt: "Look at your mess, it's like a pig's nest. I really can't stand it anymore. Hey, your little girlfriend has to go to school and I don't have time to tidy it up for you. I’ll just try my best to help her! You’re welcome!”
Li Wuyi choked and suddenly didn't know what to say!
…
A few days later, Du Yuan called.
Li Wu called on Luo Wei and the four of them went straight to Hanchuan City. Luo Wei drove Li Wu in his Audi, while Luo Wenping and the others followed in Li Wu's Honda Civic.
At noon, Li Wu came to Hanchuan Grand View Garden Cafe.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Du Yuan talking to a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw Li Wu walking in, Du Yuan stood up hurriedly.
"Mr. Li, here we come!"
"Hello, Mr. Li!" Chen Youbiao also quickly stood up to say hello.
Li Wu also smiled and exchanged some polite words with Chen Youbiao.
Then he got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Chen, let's not talk too much. I probably know something about Dahua Logistics. Please give me a price."
Chen Youbiao didn't expect Li Wu to be so straightforward and ask the price directly as soon as he came up.
In fact, his Dahua Logistics operation has always been pretty good, but he accidentally offended a young man and threatened to bankrupt him. This young man has a strong background and knows many idle people in the society. He has been acting unscrupulously. He is worried about his family's It was safe, and then I came up with the idea of selling the company.
The same goes for selling the company and leaving Hanchuan to start another business.
Chen Youbiao hesitated for a moment, and did not say the price directly. Instead, he said first: "Mr. Li, Dahua Logistics has 46 light trucks, 32 medium trucks, and 12 heavy trucks..."
After he finished talking about all the advantages of Dahua, which lasted for about three or four minutes, Chen Youbiao said: "35 million, this is my psychological price. What do you two think?"
Li Wu smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, I also know a little bit about the situation of Dahua Logistics. 35 million is a bit outrageous, so be it! 14 million..."
The price of 14 million is actually a bit low, but when it comes to business, it’s all about your words and my words, and we slowly get used to it!
Naturally, Chen Youbiao fought for another half day, and the price difference between the two parties was not much different. In the end, the two parties settled the deal for 16 million.
