Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream shops installed air conditioning as early as 1992.

But people in the north all know this.

Air conditioning is fine for cooling, but if you rely on it for heating, it's not only a waste of electricity, but also ineffective.

There are two main aspects to heating in the north.

One is centralized heating.

The second point is about burning the stove.

Just like the heated brick beds in Northeast China, burning stoves is the main way to keep warm in Makino City.

"Wallace is a little better, after all, it's a restaurant, and there's a fire in the kitchen, the heat from which can drive away a lot of the cold."

"But Mixue Ice Cream is not doing so well. Mixue Ice Cream only has a small amount of popularity, which is not enough to dispel the cold of this winter."

"Not to mention Pang Donglai, a huge Pang Donglai supermarket, open flames are basically not allowed."

Looking at the starry night sky, Lin Yifeng walked along the road, pondering whether he should build a furnace for Pang Donglai Supermarket for centralized heating!

Building a central heating furnace is naturally not cheap, and it also requires some simple renovations to Pangdong.

The human and material resources involved are naturally considerable.

But the benefits after its completion will also be enormous.

First of all, Pang Donglai will become the first supermarket in Makino City, and even in the whole country, to have air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter.

Secondly, centralized heating in winter will attract more people to Pangdonglai to escape the cold.

Customer traffic is fundamental to supermarkets and shopping malls.

A supermarket is not afraid of high expenses, but it is afraid of low customer traffic. Customer traffic is the foundation of a supermarket. After all, as long as people browse, even if they don't buy anything, they can still bring benefits to the supermarket.

People have a herd mentality.

The more people are queuing, the longer the queue will be.

Therefore, as long as more people join Pang Donglai, it will be a huge benefit for Lin Yifeng.

"We'll make some changes and build a centralized heating furnace to provide centralized heating for Pang Donglai."

"Mixue Ice Cream shops have installed hot water radiators for simple heating!"

"The stove isn't suitable for Mixue Ice Cream, it's only suitable for my hometown. If it's not used properly, it can easily cause carbon monoxide poisoning!"

After thinking it over, Lin Yifeng decided to build a central heating furnace for Pang Donglai and install hot water radiators in Mixue Ice Cream to slightly raise the indoor temperature.

In this way, even if it gets colder in winter, the indoor temperature at Mixue Ice Cream and Pang Donglai can be maintained at around 15 degrees Celsius.

As for even higher temperatures, we can only wait for the Makino City government to improve people's livelihoods and start urbanized collective heating.

In this day and age, Lin Yifeng's ability to achieve this already puts him ahead of 99% of companies.

After leaving Mixue Ice Cream and Hebei Vocational University, Lin Yifeng went to the Wallace store for a while.

Now, Xu Qingyi and Guo Fengsheng both have their own affairs, and Lin Cuilan has also been promoted and made a fortune.

The manager and staff of the Wallace store at Hebei Vocational University had long been replaced. When Lin Yifeng entered the Wallace store, not a single person recognized him.

This feeling made Lin Yifeng feel somewhat wistful.

"Without realizing it, I've become a boss that my employees don't even recognize."

Lin Yifeng ordered a Wallace set meal with a smile, to make up for the lack of food he had eaten at the Hebei Vocational University cafeteria.

...

After resting at the hotel for the night, Lin Yifeng inquired about the cancellation of subsidies for vocational school students the following day.

The newly released "Outline for Educational Reform and Development" in 1993 clearly stated that starting in 1993, subsidies and job assignments for secondary vocational school graduates would be gradually abolished.

The pace of cancellation is determined by each province and city on their own.

In Makino City, due to Lin Yifeng's actions and the construction of four university towns, the subsidies and job assignments for secondary vocational school students were directly canceled at the start of the new semester in the second half of 1993.

Upon receiving this news, Lin Yifeng was both amused and exasperated.

So there's a reason behind it all.

"Mixue Ice Cream and Wallace will have to abandon vocational schools in the future and move towards locations with junior colleges and universities."

Lin Yifeng convened a brief meeting with Xu Qingyi and Guo Fengsheng, the heads of Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream, to finalize the details and rules for the future site selection of Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream.

At the same time, Lin Yifeng also instructed Donglai to draft a method and improvement for centralized heating in Pangdonglai.

After a year and a half of development, Lin Yifeng now has a large number of employees under his command. While he may not have an overwhelming number of key personnel, he is certainly capable of giving them free rein.

As the founder of Pang Donglai, Wallace, and Mixue Ice Cream, Lin Yifeng has already become a hands-off manager.

He no longer needs to do everything personally; he can simply delegate authority.

However, while he was relieved, his subordinates suffered.

Especially those from the east.

The new store of Pang Donglai has just opened, and the end of the year is approaching. Lin Yifeng also needs to provide collective heating for Pang Donglai.

These three things combined are enough to keep Donglai extremely busy.

Fortunately, Donglai is still young now, not the street hustler he will become in the future. He is full of energy and has no problem handling these matters.

"A captain only needs to control the direction!"

Lin Yifeng will be in charge of the overall direction from now on, while the details can be left to his subordinates.

“There are people from Donglai here, Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream, and Suzhou Embroidery also has a person in charge.”

"There's basically nothing for me to do, so I can go home early for the New Year!"

Whether you're rich or poor, go home for the Chinese New Year!

After arranging his work, Lin Yifeng decided to go home for the Chinese New Year!

I went back to my hometown, Shitou Village, almost a month in advance to film the Spring Festival!

"Qingyi, Feng Sheng, Donglai, Pang Donglai, Mixue Ice City and Wallace are all in your care. I'm taking Xiao Jin back to my hometown for the New Year."

"You three stand your posts well until the very end, and I'll give you all a big red envelope next year!"

Last year, Lin Yifeng drove a Jinbei minivan home for the Chinese New Year.

This year, Lin Yifeng changed his car, but instead of choosing the three-million-yuan Mercedes he had just bought, he still chose to drive his Jinbei minivan home.

kindness.

Lin Yifeng plans to give this Jinbei minivan, which has made great contributions, to his father!

"Xiao Jin, let's go home for the New Year!"

Lin Yifeng patted the shoulder of his general and waved to Xiao Jin, who was not far away.

Bai Yejin smiled and softly hummed in agreement.
