We sold coins together and ventured South together. Although selling coins is the relationship between the buyer and the seller, both for their own interests, they helped him a lot when they went south together. I''m grateful.
Just because time passed so fast, he was also very busy and didn''t think about these things all the time; Today, since Li Guanghai mentioned it, he remembered that he should pay it back.
Li Guanghai worked very fast. He arranged to have dinner together at noon on the 30th, the day before Halloween
When long Jianhua entered the reserved room, the two of them had arrived.
Seeing Chen Panhai, he couldn''t help but be stunned.
He was already older, which would make him more vicissitudes. He held long Jianhua''s hand and said with a smile, "don''t you mind if I call you brother long like that?"
Long Jianhua patted his hand. "I''m younger than you. I don''t call it that."
Li Guanghai sighed, "Mr. long, if you don''t know his age, you think he is in his fifties. It''s better now. Three months ago, he was in his sixties. I thought he was ill. "
Chen Panhai smiled bitterly, "you haven''t experienced my life, so you look much younger than before. At that time, I didn''t listen to brother Long''s reminder, which led to my present appearance... "
Long Jianhua didn''t know what he had experienced until he briefly talked about the past two years.
Partnering with that fellow is indeed a partnership, but the fellow owed a lot of gambling debts at that time, and the hotel can''t run anymore. I''m looking for someone outside to take shares to fill it.
No one was fooled, only Chen Panhai.
Less than three months after the partnership, the hotel was sold out, and he only got back a thousand Hong Kong dollars.
Without a hotel, he didn''t want to find long Jianhua and Li Guanghai, so he changed from factory to factory, just looking for a job with higher salary.
He also knew that long Jianhua rose rapidly and had thought of coming to take refuge in him; But they were all momentary thoughts, which were soon extinguished by him.
The wages of ordinary workers in xiangdao are not high, and the expenditure on food and housing is very little left every month; Later, he went to the wharf to work as a porter. His salary was higher and he slowly saved more than 30000.
After nearly a year of dormancy, he set up a small hotel and started his old business... He worked in the hotel for nearly three months and was familiar with the process and precautions.
Until January this year, he was alone inside and outside the small hotel; After January, I hired a fixed helper, which was easier; In June, the store was expanded
Long Jianhua knows the hardships of small hotels. They have to manage in the store and deal with all kinds of relationships outside the store.
Unexpectedly, he insisted alone for more than a year. I don''t know how he insisted.
In addition to the strong desire for survival, there is no other reason to stick to it.
Finally, he said with a smile, "although my net profit is lower than that before June, my fixed assets have increased because of the expansion of stores; Also, I am optimistic about the future trend. Although it''s nine cattle without a hair for you, I still feel very aggressive. "
His smile is no longer bitter, because his eyes show sincere joy, which is his confidence in a better life in the future.
Long Jianhua and Li Guanghai just drank tea slowly without any response.
After a while, Li Guanghai sighed, "looking forward to the sea, I think you are out of sight. We are fixed in the same place. It''s easy to find. Mr. long once asked about you and wanted to give you some necessary help, but he couldn''t find you. After I told him your news the day before yesterday, he immediately arranged the event. "
They are cousins. They used to toss money and foreign exchange together, and the relationship is very good; So I was dissatisfied with him for contacting him for such a long time.
Chen Panhai shook his head, "cousin, it''s not that I don''t come to find it, but that I have no face to find it. President long reminded me at that time, but I didn''t listen, so I almost lost my money. But it was because of that that that I was so cruel that I had to get up wherever I fell. "
"And you know my character. I don''t like restraint, and I don''t have great ambition. I just want to have enough food and clothing. I think opening a restaurant is a good way. If I want to earn more, I''ll work harder; Don''t want to make money, give yourself a holiday. "
Taking advantage of his pause, long Jianhua said with a smile, "can you give yourself a holiday by expanding the small hotel into a big hotel?"
Chen Pan''s love for the sea god stagnated.
Li Guanghai laughed, "if you think so, it''s difficult to do it. If it''s small, you can close it at any time. If it''s big, you dare to close it? "
"When I first became the director of the instant noodle factory, I always said that I would submit my resignation to President long when xiangdao factory was on the right track; As a result, the of xiangdao was on the right track, built a factory in Japan, and then went to nanbangguo to build a factory. "
Then he rubbed his face, "if I didn''t want to go public, I might continue to go on like this and stay in that position. But long always said that he would go public. I know that no matter how hard he studies, he has too much difficulty in junior high school education than others. He simply can''t keep up. It''s too hard. I''m going crazy. "
Chen Panhai looked at long Jianhua and Li Guanghai, and suddenly sighed, "we have only been to xiangdao for three years, and your company will be listed."
Then he said with a smile, "fortunately, I have a big heart and won''t compare you, otherwise I will be angry with you. Now, I only compare those who have worked with me in the factory and carried 200 kg sacks on the dock. It is a serious deficiency than you and more than enough than most of them. "
After sipping the wine, he said with a smile, "contentment is always happy. All my life, I''m ready to open a restaurant. If I can grow up, I''ll continue to grow up. If I don''t grow up, I''ll have a meal. I''m studying cooking now, and I''ve really made three that can be popular. "
"When I can get a table, I''ll invite you to my restaurant and cook myself; But after eating, Mr. long will take a picture with me to prove that the world''s management master and the world''s top entrepreneurs have visited the store. "
It seems that he has been paying attention to the development of long Jianhua, otherwise he wouldn''t know so much.
Long Jianhua heard what he meant. This will be his life in the future.
Maybe he understood the reason why long Jianhua and Li Guanghai invited him to dinner today, and made his attitude clear directly that they would not be allowed to speak.
Unexpectedly, his subsequent words made long Jianhua look at him differently.
"If I can, I will pass on these dishes. In the future, I will open a restaurant in Guangdong Province... To make Chen''s Restaurant better and bigger. I don''t want to make a lot of money, but I must leave something for future generations. "
It seems that he really figured it out and saw through.
Thinking of leaving some inheritance for future generations, rather than money, is not what ordinary people can think of.
Compared with real estate, such inheritance can never make the family down and out.
After sitting together for nearly two hours, Chen Panhai did not show any willingness to ask them for help; Even when long Jianhua offered to invest in his hotel to give him enough time and financial resources to study the cuisine, he refused.
He still insists on his point of view. It''s not last year. He doesn''t pursue money so much. Raise your own children to what extent you can raise them.
He said vaguely that if he participated in the stock market, it would not work if he did not pay dividends, and if the shares were less and ugly, he might as well do it by himself.
Long Jianhua can''t say anything about his idea, let alone force it.
However, he still appreciates his attitude.
I don''t know what his experiences have brought to him, but he deserves his admiration on this point.
I hope he can keep his original heart.
This is also a pursuit - financial freedom, time freedom and ideal realization.
Those who can settle down to do one thing are people with firm will. It''s great.
In some ways, the two of them have similarities. They are both accumulating details and want to inherit some things.
Inheritance is regardless of size, nobility, elegance and vulgarity. What can be passed down is good things.
