468. Blindly optimistic?
"Son, you're back, haha, how do you feel when I walked around Beijing and Puhai this time? To be honest, I haven't been to Puhai yet!"
Li Liqiang, who was drunk, pushed open the door of the president's office and walked in. He saw Li Yifan sitting on his boss' chair and said jokingly.
The family's drastic changes in the past few years have also caused Li Liqiang to have a lot of changes. From the owner of a small restaurant in the early years, he has quietly evolved into the helm of a family business.
In recent years, Li Liqiang has lost the timidity he had when he was, and he has a little more confidence in his life, and has undergone great changes in his behavior.
Especially when he was with Li Yifan, when he was with Li Yifan in his previous life, he was more willing to show off his parents' attitude and maintain his majesty as a father. But now, his attitude towards Li Yifan is more like a friend. After all, in this life, if Li Yifan had not been guided by many key occasions and key time points, their company would never have been able to reach the point today.
So now when Li Liqiang meets Li Yifan, his attitude is often like this and his joking way of speaking. Li Yifan also likes this, because this way can make him forget his age and feel that the conversation between himself and his father is more like that between a man.
"Dad, where did you come back this time? It seems that you have drunk a lot of it at noon!"
Li Yifan also asked his father in a very relaxed tone. At this time, the elder brother answered the phone and went out. I don’t know if he was going back to work or to find his future sister-in-law, but the remaining father and son were not very concerned about this.
"I just came back from the private room on the sixth floor of Building 1. Your mother is still there. Your uncle treats you today, and your relatives and friends are all there. Your second aunt, your aunt, and your grandparents are all there. I just finished the social engagement with them."
My father walked to the front of the large desk, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of the strong tea inside. Although the relatives of my mother's side now had all changed their eyes and attitude towards my father, Li Yifan knew that his father still didn't like them very much.
After all, when their family was in the most difficult time, they had no other relatives and friends to help them, even when they had a dispute with their second aunt and their family, they had never seen a few relatives and friends talk to their family. Not to mention the overly scrupulous grandma and grandpa, they never said a good word from their family.
Now that their family is developed, all of these relatives and friends have gathered up all of a sudden, and their attitude towards their family is extremely warm. Although my father greets these people with a smile when he sees them, Li Yifan knows that his father actually looks down on these people from the bottom of his heart.
If my dad had retreated from the banquet mainly based on my uncle, I'm afraid that the relatives and friends would have been talking behind my dad's back. But now my dad said he would withdraw, who would dare to say anything? I'd probably have to persuade my dad to drink less, come back early and have a nap and rest.
This is human nature!
"Oh? My uncle treats me? It seems that my uncle is going to be promoted?"
Li Yifan's eyes rolled, and then said to his father with a smile. Li Liqiang looked at Li Yifan in surprise, and then said with a smile: "You kid, you are such a monkey spirit. It seems that you can't hide anything from you?"
In the past two years, as their Li family and Yang Yuhe got closer, their relatives and friends in their original unit have also risen.
Take my uncle for example. Because of the relationship between their family and Yang Yuhe, Yang Yuhe had just taken charge of Bincheng, he gained Yang Yuhe's trust and became a capable general under Yang Yuhe.
In the past two years, Yang Yuhe has been firmly in the position of the top leader in Bincheng, and his power has been strengthened. My uncle also made a lot of contributions. At the beginning of this year, Yang Yuhe officially won the position of the top leader in Bincheng, and his future is bright. It is time to reward him according to merit.
As a capable general of Yang's member Mali, my uncle also received a lot of dividends this time. Li Yifan had actually guessed that his uncle must be promoted this time. Sure enough, there was news not long ago that in the election of the term at the end of this year, a deputy mayor of Bincheng will now go to the National People's Congress to retire, and his uncle will officially rise to the position and become one of the deputy mayors of Bincheng.
Being able to achieve this is undoubtedly a huge progress for my uncle Zhang Yong. In my previous life, my uncle had no tough backer, and seemed to be the highest position of deputy director of the Investment Promotion Bureau. Finally, after several changes of leadership, he was transferred to a cold-shui yamen, and finally he was depressed and died of old age. However, because of his own appearance in this life, my uncle's fate took a big turn.
Due to the dramatic changes of the Li family, it was not only the eldest uncle's family who made a profit, but also the younger uncle Zhang Shan also gained great benefits. It turned out that his uncle Zhang Shan worked in the Foreign Trade Bureau in Bincheng. However, under the vigorous reforms of the Prime Minister and the Foreign Trade Bureau unit have been poor in performance, so he was laid off at the beginning of this year.
Zhang Shan, a member of Bincheng Foreign Trade Company, has long smelled something wrong. He started doing business last year. He relied on the Li family to get on the route with the Binhai Plaza project and became a small contractor. In the past two years, he has made a lot of money after following the Li family's butt.
As for the second uncle and uncle, they also received a lot of care in the unit because they raised the banner of their Li family outside, especially the long-standing uncle, who was good at dancing, even became a small official in the unit. It was so proud that the horse's hooves were fast.
"Yes, I heard that after the end of the year, your uncle will be the deputy mayor of our Bincheng next year..."
My father took out his Chinese cigarette and lit one for himself. It turned out that Li Liqiang could only smoke the red plum that cost five yuan. Now, with the change of his status, he has become soft China.
"Forget it, don't worry about him. By the way, Yifan, you are back just right. I have a few things I want to discuss with you!"
My dad seemed to remember something important, and then suddenly said to Li Yifan, who nodded.
"That's right. Look at the business of our hot pot restaurant, which is great. When I heard what you said, I was actually a little hesitant about opening such a hot pot restaurant, but now it's good. Last year, our family opened three more branches in Bincheng. Some time ago, a friend from the provincial capital asked me if we can join our hot pot restaurant. If possible, how many of them would he want to join in the provincial capital? What do you think about this?"
Li Liqiang said, and after hearing this, Li Yifan shook his head immediately. Is it worth asking someone to join such a good business? Now they don’t lack funds and can open a branch in the provincial capital by themselves, so they don’t want to give up the benefits to others.
"Dad, this chain of hot pot restaurants is so good. Why do we need to join? It's okay to do it yourself? The market in the provincial capital is much larger than that in our Bincheng. We can go to the provincial capital to open it ourselves. I don't think we need to join."
"Well, I think so too. Actually, I have long wanted to go to the provincial capital to see the market situation, but now we have too many business stalls and I have to take care of too many things, so I really can't leave."
When Li Liqiang said this, he had some helplessness, but more of it was a bit complacent. He was indeed busy all day long, but he enjoyed such a life.
"There is another thing, that is, can the beef cattle supply in your Canadian ranch be larger? If our chain hot pot spots expand its business scale, the supply of beef may become a problem."
Now their farm in Luoniu Town has been on track, and the only disadvantage is that the number of cattle herd is not too large, so Li Liqiang is a little worried about this.
"No problem, I will communicate with there."
"The last thing is, about the expansion of our Zhengyang Hotel's business scale, son, you have also seen that the situation in our Zhengyang Hotel is so hot now, I wonder if we should expand our business scale. Look at our No. 2 Building, originally designed on the 38th floor, but now it has only been built on the tenth floor. I wondered if our hotel now is often full and the customer base is lost. So, should this No. 2 Building continue to expand, and then clear it with the city, I see that it will be no problem to build the 48th floor."
When Li Liqiang said this, he was very proud and even burped, his attitude was so indifferent, but Li Yifan was stunned after hearing this. It turned out that he had never thought about this. Now that his father mentioned this, he was really stunned when he heard it.
"No, I don't agree, expand the hotel."
However, after less than a minute, Li Yifan made a decision, and his decision made Li Liqiang stunned. What happened to this kid? According to his shrewdness, how could he do such a thing to push the guests out like this? But how could he oppose this expansion plan?
Li Yifan looked at his dad with a look of surprise and thought to himself. It seemed that his business career has been smoothly numbing over the past few years. He really thought that this business was so easy to do!
