Lei Dongbao asked around the whole way before he found County Head Xu's house. County Head Xu's house was a magnificent courtyard house. It was clean and tidy. It was obvious that the rich lived there.
Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, Lei Dongbao shouted,"County Head Xu, County Head Xu, I, Lei Dongbao, am here to see you!”
County Head Xu was reading a book in the inner room. When he heard Lei Dongbao's voice, he immediately stood up and came out with a smile.
He saw the nanny at the door talking to Lei Dongbao,
"You're here to look for Secretary Xu, right? What's your name? I'll help you inform them.”
"I almost forgot. He was promoted to secretary a long time ago. My name is Lei Dongbao. I used to be the village secretary of Little Lei's family.”Lei Dongbao said with a smile.
Secretary Xu walked out of the room and greeted him with a smile."Auntie Zhang, there's no need to report. This person is an old friend of mine. Go pour a cup of tea and cook a few good dishes to entertain him.”
"Secretary Xu, we haven't seen each other for almost two years. I didn't expect you to live in such a good house in Beijing.”Lei Dongbao said with a smile.
"Dong Bao, I've been inviting you to visit Beijing. You said that Xiao Lei's family is busy, so why do you have time to visit me now?”Secretary Xu quickly invited Lei Dongbao into the house and sat down.
"I just resigned last month and decided to come to the capital to develop myself. Secretary Xu, you haven't changed at all.”Lei Dongbao said.
"Oh? He resigned, but it was good. Now that he was one of the first people to go to sea, he could be considered to have responded to the call of the country. When did you come to Beijing?"
Secretary Xu was very happy to see Lei Dongbao. They were old acquaintances and had similar temperaments. He admired Lei Dongbao's courage and straightforward personality.
Lei Dongbao: " I've only been here for less than a month. I've been busy renting a house, renting a shop, and opening a clothing store. That's why I've delayed my time to come and see you. Today, we have to have a good drink."”
Secretary Xu frowned slightly." Dongbao, you're not being nice. You've been in Beijing for so long before telling me. If you had told me earlier, I could have helped you find a good house and shop."”
"You're so busy. It's not good to look for you for such a small matter. Besides, aren't I here today? I even brought good wine. The only thing missing is your good food.”Lei Dongbao quickly said with a smile.
"Alright, alright, it's time for the two of us to have a drink. I remember that I drank too much that night when it snowed at your house. I've never been so happy to drink with anyone again.”County Head Xu laughed loudly.
The two of them toasted and drank merrily, reminiscing about the past at Xiao Lei's house.
After dinner, the two of them drank tea in the side hall again. Secretary Xu asked,
"Dong Bao, what do you want to do this time?”
Seeing that the topic had reached this point, Dong Bao said,""Secretary Xu, to tell you the truth, I just opened a clothing store two weeks ago. The business is very good, and the source of the goods is also exclusive.”
Even though Secretary Xu's family was rich, when he heard that Dongbao's shop was so popular, he said in admiration,"
"That's good, Dong Bao. You're a natural businessman, you'll have a bright future.”
"Secretary Xu, I have another favor to ask of you besides coming to see you today." Dong Bao grinned.”
"What is it? Don't be an outsider, just say it." Secretary Xu had long regarded Dong Bao as a close friend, so a little help with the policy was nothing to him.
"This is not beneficial. I went to the municipal government's Department of Commerce to apply for a chain business license, but they refused to do so. They said that there was no precedent for a private chain store and asked me to find a guarantor.”Lei Dongbao said, a little embarrassed.
"I don't think it's difficult. I'll give you a call later and get it done. I'll get the Ministry of Commerce to issue a guarantee for you. As long as you do business properly and don't do anything illegal.”
"Secretary Xu, you know best what kind of person I am. I definitely won't bring trouble to your guarantor!”
After the matter was settled, the two chatted for a while. Seeing that the sky had turned dark, Dong Bao stood up and said goodbye.
The next day, when Lei Dongbao went to the Ministry of Commerce again, the certificate for the chain operation had already been processed.
As expected, the higher-ups were quick to get things done. Soon, Dongbao used all its remaining savings to rent stores and opened branches in various districts of Beijing.
Four months later, Lei Dongbao and Pingping's chain store had opened its 13th store, quickly occupying most of the clothing market in Beijing.
On average, each store's profit exceeded 10,000 yuan, and the Wangfujing store even earned nearly 30,000 yuan a month!
It couldn't be helped. At that time, people were very careful when they were self-employed. Who dared to be as big as Lei Dongbao and even get the chain management rights?
In addition, Lei Dongbao's new source of goods and good quality had triggered a rush of buying among the citizens of Beijing. The turnover continued to rise, and the Guangzhou suppliers were all smiling.
Lei Dongbao personally interviewed the managers and salesmen of each store. He only used honest and reliable women. The salary was twice as high as other stores, and there was also a commission from selling clothes. Therefore, everyone was dead set on selling clothes for Dongbao.
Song Yunping looked at the passbook and could not imagine that in just four months, Lei Dongbao had earned back 500,000 yuan with 12,000 yuan!
Moreover, this number was still rising. Now, she only had to take a few days every month to go to the store to check the accounts. She basically did not have to do anything.
Song Yunping grew up in a poor family. When she suddenly saw so much savings, she did not know how to spend it.
Lei Dongbao wandered around Beijing's waste station every day. When he had nothing to do, he would bring some old and broken things home. He rarely went to the shop. Song Yunping didn't know what Dongbao wanted to do.
