Chapter 444: Big Goal
In the quiet office, the single sofa was too heavy and the thick cushion was deeply trapped.
The person sitting on the mat is at least 1.9 meters tall, with long golden brown hair hanging from the back of his head to near his shoulders, with angular faces, a high nose and deep eyes, and a half-sleeved arms covered with thick brown body hair.
It suddenly looked like a big Siberian brown bear.
After receiving a call from Lu Dong, Ivan rushed from Quannan to the university town the next day to meet Lu Dong.
An old friend who is nearly two years old, there is no harm in saying something in advance.
Da Yiwan looked embarrassed and said in a very smooth Chinese: "Sorry, Lu Dong, I originally thought that I could settle in China and stay there forever, and develop with you friends and partners, but things always change beyond expectations."
Lu Dong could understand what this sentence means: "You have decided?"
"Yes." Big Ivan said directly: "As my parents grew older, they missed their hometown more and more, and they all wanted to go back."
Lu Dong remembers that Da Yiwan mentioned that his parents were hired automobile experts and worked in a heavy truck group.
Homesickness is not unique to Chinese people. After years of leaving home, Russia's social environment has gradually stabilized and is no longer as chaotic as in previous years.
"What's the job here?" Lu Dong asked: "Your parents are planning to quit?"
After all, those who were specially hired back then may involve some trouble.
Da Ivan said: "I have resigned. My parents have been here for many years and I can't teach much. The heavy truck group is about to go bankrupt and cannot afford to support many foreign experts. Many institutions are laying off the debt. I heard that the debt is nearly 10 billion yuan and is going through bankruptcy and reorganization procedures."
The unhappiness at work is also the reason why his parents want to return to China: "My father's salary is currently under owed for half a year. The prospects of this large company are not optimistic. My father is discouraged. There are invitations from Russia, so he wants to return to China."
Lu Dong is not a young man in his twenties. He can understand homesickness, which is essentially similar to his attitude towards Lujia Village.
"Where are you, Ivan?" Lu Dong asked again: "What are you going to do when you go back?"
Ivan raised his thick hair and said, "I went back to Russia once in July to Moscow. I went to Moscow to apply for a job at Moscow University and found an assistant job at the Foreign Languages College there."
Speaking of this, Lu Dong knew very well that Ivan was really leaving.
There is a banquet that will end in the world.
I thought about the first time I met Da Ivan when I was at a street stall, and later sponsored the basketball team of the Provincial University Foreign Languages College coached by Da Ivan, and then invited Da Ivan to invest together.
It can be said that with his natural advantages, Da Yiwan helped him and Lu's catering avoid too much trouble in the early stage and survived a very difficult stage.
The two are partners and friends.
My friend is going to travel far now, and Lu Dong can't help but sigh: "When will you leave?"
"The procedures are underway, and the latest will not exceed this month."
Lu Dong asked, "Will you settle in Moscow in the future?"
Ivan nodded: "I live in Moscow forever." He suddenly laughed: "Lu Dong, I'm waiting for you to open the store to Moscow!"
Lu Dong said, "Okay! I will definitely go to Moscow to find you, so you should take me to taste Russian food."
Big Ivan still laughed: "It's probably hard for you to eat Russian food."
Miao Yu worked very hard and first joined the group of people in Lu's catering. Fu Chaoxia and Gao Ming developed the best. The former was the business manager of Quannan area, and the latter served as the head of the training department of the headquarters.
Although the worst of the others is also in the position of the store manager of the big store, there is still a little difference between them.
Miao Yu also wants to go further, after all, that means higher income.
People are inevitably comparing, and desire is often the driving force for progress.
If a person has no desires and no desires, he will basically lose motivation.
Miao Yu's efforts were also seen in the eyes of Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing. They had held many small meetings in private, and planned to go to the island city after September to officially open up the Taidong Peninsula market.
As long as you gain a firm foothold in Quannan and advance to the provincial and municipal markets around Taidong, Lu's catering will advance and attack and retreat or defend.
At the company meeting in August, Lu Dong also put forward the company's big goal - to become the first-class chain catering company in the country!
It is not easy to achieve this goal. Every step of development of private enterprises is like walking on thin ice. If you take a wrong step in the big plan, you may be doomed.
Lu Dong worked diligently and did not dare to relax a little.
Too many private enterprises in China have died in the first three years. Few have survived five years, and even fewer can really grow bigger.
In the special business environment, private enterprises are also feeling their way across the river.
Lu's catering is better, and Lu Dong always has some advantages and experiences to learn from.
After returning from Yingcheng, Lu Dong received an invitation. Lao Liu's dried fruit roasted goods shop reopened, but the door was changed, and the location was not as good as the one Lu Dong had found for him for the first time.
Lao Liu called Lu Dong, and Lu Dong and Song Na went there specially. Lao Liu learned his lessons and asked Liu Yang to do it. He personally took care of the store's expenses from purchases to accounts.
"There's no way, what can I do?"
Outside the Farmers' Market, looking at the red signboard that Jin Il opened, Lao Liu said to Lu Dong and Jiao Shougui: "He turned out to be very good. Who knew that after he had some money, everything changed."
He was a little depressed: "I'm old, old, who knows that I really became a living for my son."
Lu Dong could only comfort him: "When you step by step, spend more time, you can always bring people back on track."
Jiao Shougui also said: "Do work hard and make hard, life will always have a future."
Old Liu nodded and said to the two of them: "Lu Dong, Shougui, I will never thank you for your kindness. In the future, I will use my Old Liu's place, and it will be used in the sea of fire."
"Uncle Liu, this is so harsh." Lu Dong said quickly: "No need to say this between us."
Lao Liu is a good person and a real person, but having such a son will make life much harder in the future.
If it were anyone, it would be impossible for him to leave his son alone.
Leaving the farmers' market, Lu Dong, Song Na and Jiao Shougui walked out together. Jiao Shougui said, "You are soft-hearted, if you are me, you may not care."
Lu Dong said, "Old Liu helped me after all." He looked back and said, "It's the last time, I can't help infinitely."
Jiao Shougui said: "Which old guys, who are not your money?"
Song Na continued: "Lu Dong, you've done a good job."
Lu Dong smiled, as he said, Lao Liu would help everyone he could. If Liu Yang did not change, he would have to do this.
Back at the company, Lu Dong and Song Na asked someone to send the packaged items to Da Yiwan's dormitory.
Chapter completed!
