Chapter two hundred and sixty-ninth money is like flowing water
The United States, the capital.
As the head of Laoliu fast food chain in the United States, Xie Hualian is under great pressure.
Xie Hualian and Liu Xiaxue are college classmates, sisters in the same dormitory, and they have always had a good relationship. After graduating from college, most of the classmates have already started working, but she chose to study in the United States.
When the American studies were over, Lao Liu Fast Food was ready to go abroad. Liu Xiaxue, who had been in contact with Xie Hualian, handed over the American business to her.
Xie Hualian has no work experience and has been on a high position as soon as she comes. She is walking on thin ice, afraid of messing up her business, and that will make her sorry for her good friend.
Fortunately, Xie Hualian is a highly educated talent after all. Although she has no work experience, Liu Xiaxue also sent her a right-hand assistant. In addition, the United States has also started from scratch. In the process of starting from scratch, she has also learned a lot of things that are not in books.
Today, the United States has more than 100 Laoliu fast food chain stores, which has been a preliminary opening.
The only regret is that the dietary differences between China and the West are indeed obvious. Almost 70% of the customers visited by the more than 100 Laoliu fast food chains are Chinese and overseas Chinese, while the remaining 30% are foreigners.
Compared with the success of KFC and McDonald's in my country, Lao Liu Fast Food has been quite a failure.
Of course, it’s not going to be a loss. It’s just that compared with domestic stores, the profits of stores in the United States are much worse.
For this reason, Xie Hualian has also tried various methods to promote Lao Liu fast food, but the results have been minimal. Most foreigners are disdainful of Lao Liu fast food and have no idea to come in and taste it, and they do not give you a chance to play.
Just like stinky tofu, for many people, they are not interested in tasting it when they smell that smell. Even if you blow this smell to the sky, it is useless. If you don’t want to eat it, you don’t want to eat it!
Recently, Xie Hualian racked her brains and came up with a promotion plan again, which is to eat Lao Liu fast food, and she had the chance to win the Apple 4S mobile phone that was only launched in October last year.
The general idea is that every Sunday, Lao Liu Fast Food will hold an on-site lottery, and the prize is three latest Apple 4S mobile phones? As long as customers who have consumed Lao Liu Fast Food within a week, they are qualified to participate in this lottery.
Anyway, if you spend a purchase, you will get half a special small brand. The more you spend, the more small brands you get? The greater the chance of winning.
Will it work? Xie Hualian is not sure, so she can only try it first? If this still cannot increase the turnover, then she will have no shame to be the person in charge again? She can only resign!
So? After several days of preparation and improvement, Xie Hualian finally officially implemented this promotion plan in more than 100 stores of Laoliu Fast Food on April 23, 2012, US time.

Although the change coin is available at any time, Liu Xiahui still suppresses the time. Are you preparing to wait for the update of WeChat 5.0 version in June? It will not be too late to launch the change coin.
Because if it is launched now, you have to advertise for the change bus. When the WeChat version 5.0 is updated, you don’t have to advertise specifically. A simple operation prompt for a new version can let all WeChat users know about the existence of the change bus.
So, Liu Xiahui clearly told Zhou Xiaomin that change will be launched in the WeChat version 5.0 update on June 1.

In May, Bainiu Town completed the land acquisition work.
In order to facilitate future transportation, Liu Xiahui finally selected two villages next to Qinghe Village. A highway will pass through these two villages in a few years? It is most suitable to build a cold storage group here.
In these two villages? How many square kilometers of land were expropriated in total? It cost hundreds of millions of dollars to give birth to the two villages, making it the second largest existence in Bainiu Town after Qinghe Village.
The other villages that were not selected were disappointed, but there was no way to force such a thing. I can only hope that it will be their turn next time such a good thing.
After the collection work was completed, this large project with an investment of over 10 billion yuan officially began to be constructed.
Before this, the cold storage group located on Qindao had already started construction.
Although Qindao started later than Bainiu Town, it had the right time and place on the other side, and the local government was also more powerful. After basically the investment was negotiated, they approved the land needed for the cold storage group.
Therefore, the construction time on Qin Island is one month earlier than that on Bainiu Town.
Two super cold storage groups are under construction, and the mask industry chain in Guangdong Province is also in its infancy, as well as luxury communities under construction in the provincial capital and chain stores that are constantly expanding, the entire Liu Family Group can be said to be spending money like water.
Of course, although you spend a lot of money, you earn more. The original business of Lao Liu Catering was very good, and even at the same cost as others, you could make a lot of money.
What's more, Liu Xiahui, who has a gold finger bonus, has a cost that is really low to unimaginable by outsiders, and the profit is completely beyond everyone's expectations.
...
Sunday, May 20.
At the Liu family villa in Qinghe Village, relatives of the Liu family gathered together.
Today is the day when Liu Xiaxue officially took her boyfriend home. Because she called in advance, all the relatives are here today.
Therefore, in front of the Liu family villa, various luxury cars were parked.
After all, with the support of Liu Xiahui for so many years, the relatives of the Liu family are no longer as poor as they were back then. They have long been reborn and have changed their guns and cannons!
To put it simply, these relatives now have at least tens of millions of dollars in net worth, and most of them are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. They are really rich people in the countryside.
At this time, Liu Xiaxue and her boyfriend were still on the way back, and the relatives asked around Liu Xiahui, the only one who knew about it.
"Xiaohui, what's the name of the boyfriend your sister is looking for? Where is he from?" The first question was her cousin Jiang Zifeng. This time she also brought her husband and children.
Liu Xiahui smiled and said, "His name is Tang Zicheng, and his ancestral home is from Shanghai Stock Exchange!"
Cousin Song Qing also asked curiously: "Cousin, my cousin is so beautiful. Is her boyfriend handsome? Is the family background good?"
Liu Xiahui smiled and said, "He looks very good and his family is not bad. He is the second young master of the Tang Group. He is considered an authentic rich second generation!"
Song Qing blinked and said, "Tang Group? This name is a bit familiar, it seems like you have heard it somewhere!"
My uncle Liu Yuanjin has been collecting rents very well recently and is more concerned about real estate. He asked in surprise: "Xiaohui, the Tang Group you are talking about is the Tang Group that developed the Tang First Pin, a sky-high luxury house in the Shanghai Stock Exchange?"
Liu Xiahui nodded and said, "It's this Tang Group!"
Liu Yuanjin exclaimed: "That's amazing. This Tang Group should be very rich, right? Xiaoxue has a good attitude!"
Liu Xiahui smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, it's only a few billion, mainly because my sister likes it, but her family background is second!"
Liu Yuanjin was speechless. He had a billion worth of money for him, but in the eyes of his nephew, it was obviously not worth mentioning!
But it is no wonder that his nephew is planning to invest tens of billions of dollars in the cold storage group that has just started construction, and there are two cold storage groups. Compared with this, the only billions of assets of Tang's Group is really nothing great.
Other relatives also started talking about each other, and the topic was focused on Tang Zicheng. After all, since Liu Xiaxue had done something to bring him back to meet his parents and relatives, the marriage between the two could basically be decided.
At noon, a helicopter with only a few seats landed from the sky and stopped on the wide ground in front of the Liu family's villa. This was specially built by the Liu family to stop the helicopter.
Soon, Tang Zicheng and Liu Xiaxue walked off the helicopter, and they all had big bags of bags. Except for the regular tobacco, tea and wine, the rest were all kinds of luxury goods.
This helicopter is not the Liu family's helicopter, but the Tang family's helicopter.
Although the Tang family's assets are not as good as the Liu family, it is still a wealthy family with assets worth billions of yuan. It is not surprising that they own a few helicopters of several seats.
The moment when I saw Tang Zicheng, the relatives of the Liu family nodded secretly. Not to mention the others, this appearance has passed.
After getting off the helicopter, Tang Zicheng began to feel irritated. The darkness in front of him was full of people. After a brief look, there were at least one hundred people. This was fake for a man who came to see his parents for the first time.
Especially when the woman's family background can be far behind the man's 108,000 miles away, the man becomes even more guilty.
Fortunately, it is worth comforting that Tang Zicheng has initially gained the recognition of his brother-in-law. With his brother-in-law's prestige in the Liu family, as long as he expresses his support, I believe that no one in the Liu family will oppose them!
Just as Tang Zicheng's mind was turning, Liu Xiaxue had already begun to introduce his relatives: "This is my dad, this is my mom, this is my third uncle, this is..."
Every time Liu Xiaxue introduced one, Tang Zicheng said hello and introduced all his relatives. It was more than ten minutes later.
Tang Zicheng followed Liu Xiaxue and tried hard to recognize people. Soon, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. There were too many relatives in the Liu family, and he did not have the ability to remember them all. It was impossible to remember so many relatives.
Therefore, Tang Zicheng had to choose to remember some more important relatives.
Liu Xiahui was also a son-in-law, so he naturally understood what it was like to see the woman's parents for the first time. Therefore, after his sister introduced all the relatives and greeted each other, he took his brother-in-law over to have tea and chat, which was also a relief for him.
"Sister, brother-in-law, is your wedding date set?" Liu Xiahui asked while pouring tea.
When Tang Zicheng heard the name "brother-in-law", he was happy and said, "The wedding date has not been decided yet. Anyway, I listen to your sister. She will be as long as she says!"
Liu Xiaxue said: "Xiaohui, I want to book January 4, 2013. Do you think this day is suitable?"
Liu Xiahui smiled and said, "Of course it's appropriate. This homonym is hard to come by in a century, and it's enough to have six or seven months of preparation time!"
Liu Xiaxue looked at Tang Zicheng and asked, "What do you think?"
Tang Zicheng nodded repeatedly and praised: "Love you for the rest of your life, there is no more suitable day than this!"
Liu Xiaxue made a decision: "That's it!"
Tang Zicheng nodded and immediately expressed his opinion: "Then let my mother prepare for the wedding when she goes back!"
...
During the meal, the Liu family opened a total of more than a dozen tables because of the many relatives.
Originally, Tang Zicheng thought that such a big pot rice would not taste very good, but when he ate it, he realized that all the food was extremely delicious and better than the five-star restaurants he had eaten, which was incredible.
Especially the dish called "yellow fried pork", it was really the most delicious pork belly he had ever eaten in his life.
Not only the food, but even the fruits are very delicious.
This was the first time Tang Zicheng met the girl's parents. Although the two had even set their wedding date, he could not stay at the girl's house for the night, so he left at around 3 pm in his helicopter.
Liu Xiaxue did not leave with her. She naturally had to figure out what her parents' attitude was when she brought her boyfriend back.
So, after Tang Zicheng left, the whole family sat together.
Liu Xiaoxian had a piano class today, so neither mother nor daughter came back.
They are all family members, and Liu Xiaxue has nothing to be shy about, so she asked directly: "Dad, mom, what do you think of him?"
Liu Yuansheng said: "I only met once, but I can't see anything. However, from his treatment and behavior, we can see that he has seen the world. Anyway, as long as you like it, dad has no objection!"
Jiang Shiyun said, "Mom has no objection. The young man looks pretty good, but he doesn't know what kind of person his mother is. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a problem for the ages. Whether your marriage is happy or not depends on the man you choose, and half on your future mother-in-law. So you have to see his mother clearly, so that it will be too late to regret it after getting married!"
Liu Xiahui nodded and said, "Sister, what mom said makes sense. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really important. Another day I will go to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to treat her to a meal and observe what kind of person you will be like!"
Liu Xiaxue said speechlessly: "It's not that serious, right? I think his mother is also very good and she is very enthusiastic about me!"
Liu Xiahui said: "It is normal for his mother to be enthusiastic about you. Our family is not a small family. We want to climb the top branches of their Tang family. On the contrary, if their Tang family can marry you back, it will be a blessing for their family to cultivate in the past few lifetimes.
It can be said that as long as your brother is not bankrupt, your in-laws will only please you in this life.
However, this is just for normal people. What is most lacking in this world is weirdness. I still have to go over and see it in person to rest assured!”
Jiang Shiyun agreed and said, "Xiaoxue, your brother is right. Under normal circumstances, with your brother's wealth and status in society, your in-laws can only please you in this life. But if you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of if you have any. There are all kinds of people in this world. Your brother's social experience is much better than you. It would be a good thing to ask your brother to meet his mother!"
Chapter completed!
