"Uncle Lou, I came here today to apologize to you. I took care of this matter." Li Chu thought for a while and said.

???

Hearing Li Chu's words, the entire Lou family was stunned.

"Xiao Chu, what do you mean?"

"Now that you are contracting the canteen, no matter whether you are successful or not, you will make a lot of enemies in the end."

"Why do you say that?" Dad Lou felt that his head was about to explode. He could understand every word of what Li Chu said, but when they were connected together, he couldn't understand it.

What does it mean to make enemies even if you succeed?

Several other people in the room looked at each other. They were even more confused, but they could also tell that this was not a good thing.

Xu Damao pulled the stool closer to Li Chu. He also planned to follow his father-in-law.

"That's right, Uncle Lou, it was decided at the meeting last year that we should open it up, right?"

"That's right!" Dad Lou nodded.

"But why has it been a year and there has been no movement at all?"

"Uh..." Dad Lou didn't know how to answer this question.

Li Chu didn't intend to let him answer, but said directly: "That's because there are those who support openness, and there are conservatives. At present, the conservative ones have the upper hand. Therefore, although the tone of openness was set last year,

, but there has been no movement.

Another key point is that not only leaders are open and conservative, but also the grassroots cadres. And even if some people support openness, they don’t know how to do it. They are still a little timid in doing things.

Afraid of doing something wrong.”

At this point, Li Chu stopped. Dad Lou needed to think carefully.

The three women sitting on one side had completely given up and simply moved stools to sit at the door of the house.

For a while, only Li Chu, Xu Damao and Lou's father were left in the house. As for the other two children, they had just finished eating and ran out to play.

After a while, Dad Lou raised his head and looked at Li Chu and said: "Xiao Chu, I kind of understand what you mean. You mean, I am contracting this canteen now, which is equivalent to a experimental field. If it succeeds, then I will support the opening up."

People will think of ways to expand my method and strive for more victories.

If it fails, it means that changes in this area will not work, and whether I succeed or fail, I will eventually offend another group of people."

"Yeah." Li Chu nodded and put down the tea cup in his hand: "That's pretty much what it means."

"Actually, in the final analysis, Uncle Lou, in this matter, you can only succeed and cannot fail."

"Why is this, Brother Chu?"

"Because of... support, it must succeed. It can only succeed. No matter how many reasons there are, you need to understand it yourself. Uncle Lou, you have been in business for half your life. You should know that economics and politics cannot be separated."

When he said this, Li Chu made a gesture to them. Xu Damao seemed to understand, but Dad Lou obviously understood and stopped his son-in-law who still wanted to ask, signaling him not to ask.

Dad Lou nodded and took a long breath: "I know Xiao Chu, and I will take this canteen contracting seriously."

"Uncle Lou, you can still do this. You usually go to the vegetable market to buy meat in the canteen. To buy meat, you go to the meat factory. After you take over, you can first go to the rural areas in the suburbs of Beijing and collect directly from those farmers. I'm sure

It’s cheaper than the one in the vegetable market. Damao often goes to the countryside, so he should know.”

After hearing what Li Chu said, Xu Damao kept nodding: "Dad, Brother Chu is right about this. It is really cheaper to go to the countryside to collect it directly. You don't even need to run away. Just contact the brigade and they will collect it for you.

You can also deliver it to us, after all, we will need a lot of it in the future."

Lou's father's eyes were shining brightly. He really didn't expect that his son-in-law would know this person.

"Also, Uncle Lou, when you sign a contract with the factory, you must make it clear that the factory cannot interfere with the normal management of the canteen, and the contract period must be long enough. Don't let others give you the peach as soon as you start working.

Picked it off."

When Lou's father heard what Li Chu said, he stood up quickly, got his grandson's pen and exercise book, and wrote down everything he just said one by one.

Next, Li Chu told Dad Lou some more things that needed attention. He was worried about it. He had no choice but to make this bad idea come from him. It would be hard to watch others jump into the pit.

The more Li Chu talked, the more Dad Lou admired him. This business is also different from business. The way he used to do it will not work under the current ideology, and it is very likely that others will try it.

He took care of it.

Looking at the watch, it was already past nine o'clock. All the children who had gone out to play had come back. Li Chu stood up and said, "Uncle Lou, that's all. If I think of anything else in the future, I will notify you in time. This time

This incident is considered a mistake of mine, which puts you in a dilemma now. If you have difficulties with funds later, you can come to me at any time and I can lend it to you for use first."

"Xiao Chu, don't say anything like this. There are no mistakes without mistakes. In business, there is no way to make more than lose money. You just gave me an idea at that time. I still make the final decision myself.

Yeah, I haven’t thanked you for helping me yet.”

As he said this, Dad Lou raised the notebook in his hand. He had taken a lot of notes just now.

"Okay, let's go then. Damao, if you have nothing to do, you can play with Xiao'e at home. My children have gone to school, so we are the only two left."

"No problem, Brother Chu. I'll help my dad handle this matter, and I'll go to your place often."

After saying goodbye to the Lou family, Li Chu and Ding Qiunan embarked on their way home.

"You guys are really good at talking. You couldn't finish it in a long time." Ding Qiunan said with some dissatisfaction.

"Oh, there's nothing I can do. I gave them the idea."

Ding Qiunan saw that there were fewer people on the road and boldly took her husband's arm. If it were daytime, she would never do this.

Feeling his arm being wrapped softly, Li Chu turned his head and glanced.

They were already an old couple, but this was the first time for Ding Qiunan to do this outside. She was still a little shy and her eyes were darting around, but she just didn't look at him.

The two families were relatively close, and although they both deliberately slowed down their pace, they still reached the door of their house in about ten minutes.

I took out the key and opened the door. As soon as I entered the door, I heard a faint sound, as if the phone in the living room was ringing.

Li Chu hurriedly ran to the middle courtyard.

"Daughter-in-law, please lock the door and I'll answer the phone."

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard clearly that the phone was ringing. I hurriedly ran into the living room and picked up the phone.

"Xiao Chu, where have you been? Why is no one answering the phone?"
