By noon the next day, the street where the BBQ City was located was already bustling with people, several times more than usual. Everyone knew that many of these people were heading to the BBQ City.

It was reported in the newspapers and on TV that the barbecue city was having a big opening sale: buy ten, get ten free. In other words, if you buy ten yuan worth of lamb skewers, you will get another ten yuan worth for free.

There's also a lucky draw, where every table of BBQ diners can enter a prize draw. Besides a buy-10-get-10-free offer, prizes include 55% off, 64% off, 18% off, and free meals.

The advertising was well done and the awards were quite unique. The whole city was in an uproar and the place was packed with people early in the morning.

At 10:18, the barbecue city officially opened. Li Cheng lit the first barbecue grill with a lighter, and then the lighter was passed around like a relay by the stall owners, lighting the other barbecue grills one by one.

For a moment, fireworks rose up, looking very spectacular.

The opening ceremony was simple but impressive, which was consistent with Li Cheng's idea that money should be spent on the right things instead of on fancy things.

Han Dayazi and Meng Jianghong both suggested inviting someone of some importance to give a speech and cut the ribbon. Li Cheng said, "No need. The most important people here are us and these stall owners."

When the stall owners heard this, they were all grateful because they knew that the ten free bonuses from the buy-ten-get-ten-free promotion, as well as the cost of various prizes, would not be borne by them, but by Li Cheng.

This was like Li Cheng advertising for them again, actually helping them make money. Those laid-off workers who rented the stalls for only half the rent were especially grateful to Li Cheng.

Therefore, Li Cheng asked them to guarantee quality, hygiene, warm hospitality and thoughtful service, and they all signed the guarantee very happily.

The ninety-nine stalls were quickly filled with people, and some who hadn't managed to get a seat stood around waiting.

Seeing so many people coming today, the stall owners all tried their best to maximize their business volume and attract some repeat customers.

As a result, the unique aroma of barbecue spread all around and attracted more people.

Seeing more and more people coming here, Li Chengxin said that the business of this barbecue city is a success.

Li Cheng walked between the stalls, joking with the stall owners, "There's nothing in the world, big or small, that can't be solved by a barbecue. If it can't be solved, then two or three barbecues will do."

The stall owners were all busy and sweating. After hearing what he said, they all laughed and said, "That's right, eating barbecue is a big deal------"

Not only the stall owners, but also the diners laughed and said after hearing what Li Cheng said: "Yes, if one meal is not enough, then two meals, eat barbecue and drink beer, do big things------"

The scene was bustling, business was booming, people were coming and going, and this place became the center of the city.

This is exactly what Li Cheng wants. Only by turning this place into a prosperous commercial area will it become more and more valuable.

Li Cheng knew that as people paid more and more attention to environmental protection, this barbecue city would be in danger of closing down. Therefore, the stalls here are set up very simply, with awnings, movable barbecue stoves, and low stools, all of which are low-cost and high-yield.

If the day really comes when it closes, we can just move. As long as the reputation of this barbecue city remains, we will never have to worry about lack of business no matter where we go.

88A BBQ City. This is the address Li Cheng applied for for the barbecue city, and it is also the brand of this barbecue city.

After completing his inspection, Li Cheng walked over to a makeshift barbecue grill. Today, he was going to personally cook a barbecue for the branch staff.

Li Cheng's exclusive sauce, various meat skewers, chicken wings, sea fish, and the tofu he promised to make for Tan Wenjie's grandmother, and other ingredients have already been prepared, waiting for Li Cheng to show his skills.

Barbecue isn't difficult; anyone who loves food will have some skill. When Li Cheng rolled up his sleeves and started barbecuing, Lao Yue and the others noticed a different Li Cheng.

Someone once said that men who are concentrating on doing things are the cutest, and this includes men who are cooking. Li Cheng skillfully picked up a skewer and grilled it on the charcoal fire, constantly brushing the skewers with sauce while grilling.

His movements were skillful and focused, and he didn't forget to greet the people around him enthusiastically, which made the people in the branch have a new impression of Li Cheng.

A good man who takes care of his family.

Li Cheng's behavior made Yue Xiaoyun keep yelling at Lao Yue, "When will you be like Li Cheng and cook a meal for me?"

Tan Wenji's grandmother had told her countless times, "You are blind------"

Weng Xiaozhu also came today, but she was not familiar with anyone in the branch except Li Cheng and Meng Jianghong, so she didn't get close to them. She just pulled Meng Jianghong and stood in the distance to watch.

Many people came to the branch, but most of them couldn't wait for Li Cheng's barbecue to be cooked and went to the stall owners. The only ones waiting to eat Li Cheng were Lao Yue, Meng Jianghong, Director Yang, and Deputy Director Cao.

Li Cheng grilled the skewers while looking around, wondering why President Hou hadn't arrived yet. Perhaps he had too much fun last night and couldn't get up today.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone tapped him from behind. Li Cheng turned around and saw that it was Yan Hua and President Hou.

"Oh, the two leaders are late. You should have a few more drinks later."

Yan Hua glanced at President Hou and said, "Look at him, does he look like a street vendor right now?"

President Hou laughed and said, "I didn't realize this guy can grill skewers."

Li Cheng smiled and said, "Barbecue is a piece of cake. President Hou, please take a seat. It will be ready soon. Come and try my cooking later."

President Hou and Yan Hua smiled and said "Okay, okay", and then sat in the seats that Lao Yue had already prepared for them.

Today, Li Cheng asked Yan Hua to invite President Hou because Li Cheng wanted to teach her a lesson under the pretext of eating barbecue.

After baking three or five plates, Li Cheng handed the oven to a student who came to help, and then went to President Hou's table.

After sitting down, Li Cheng first drank a glass of beer with President Hou and others, and then said, "President Hou, our bank has two major difficulties: attracting deposits and dealing with bad debts. The most difficult of these is attracting deposits. Bad debts can be resolved through various means, such as write-offs, mergers, and restructuring.

But there's no other way to attract deposits. We can only rely on Director Meng and his team, and all the branch staff to mobilize all available connections to strive to meet the annual task targets. Am I right, President Hou?

President Hou nodded and said, "You're right. The hardest part of our business is attracting deposits. Without deposits, there are no loans. Without loans, there are no profits. Without profits, our salaries and bonuses will all go to waste."

After President Hou finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly.
