Li Cheng's solution for Captain Zhu was to invite the street vendors to move inside the barbecue city. Li Cheng said they wouldn't have to pay for the stalls, but they could only set up stalls near the east wall.
Upon hearing this, Captain Zhu was so excited that he almost knelt down before Li Cheng. He had previously searched for many places to invite these small vendors to work, but those places either demanded payment or disdained them for disturbing the public, so in the end, nothing came of it.
Li Cheng was willing to provide space for these small vendors, which was a real blessing for Captain and his team. From now on, their work would be at least half as easy, and they wouldn't have to report to work so early.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, you agreed not to charge any money?" Captain Zhu still didn't quite believe it.
Li Cheng was puzzled, thinking that maybe he was too young. Why did these people have to question him again and again whenever he told a true story?
A beard without hair on the face means you can’t do things well. Li Cheng thought it would be better if he grew a beard.
"It's free. Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone level that area, move the flower beds and green plants, and make room for them. However, although there's no charge, you have to register and reserve a fixed stall so they don't fight over it."
After hearing Li Cheng's words, Captain Zhu felt that today was truly a blessing from heaven. A major problem that had caused him countless criticisms, and had kept him awake and unable to eat, had finally been solved.
"Mr. Li, you don't need to find anyone. We can handle this matter ourselves. Tomorrow morning, I will have my teammates come here, clean up the place, and then let them in------"
Li Cheng smiled and nodded, and the matter was settled.
On the surface, Li Cheng's actions were out of kindness, helping both Captain Zhu and the small vendors. But deeper down, there was something fishy going on.
What's the reason these small vendors can survive? Because the things they sell are essential to everyday life. Plus, you can bargain with them, and they're right on the way to work.
Therefore, these small vendors actually achieved "convenience for the people." Li Cheng has always believed that no matter what kind of business it is, as long as it can be recognized by the public, it will basically make money.
But Li Cheng doesn't charge money from small vendors, so how does Li Cheng make money from this?
Meng Jianghong had asked him the same question, as had Han Dayazi. Only Weng Xiaozhu kept covering her mouth and laughing. So, Li Cheng pointed at Weng Xiaozhu and said, "Let her tell you."
After saying that, Li Cheng went to do other things.
Weng Xiaozhu said, "Are you stupid? If you let those small vendors in, then the buyers will come in too."
After hearing this, the two of them immediately understood that Li Cheng was trying to accumulate popularity and turn those people into potential customers of the barbecue city.
"I told you, Li Cheng will not do business that will lose money." Han Dayazi said.
"Mr. Han, oh, Principal Han, you have been asked to say all the good things. Who was it just now who said that we should give the place to others for free?" Meng Jianghong said jokingly.
Han Dayuzi was a little embarrassed. Lately, he'd suddenly stopped wanting people to call him "Mr. Han" and preferred calling him "Principal Han." He'd noticed that calling him "Principal Han" made people look at him in a different light.
"Vice Principal Meng, please stop talking. Didn't you just not understand what Mr. Li meant?"
"I don't understand because I really don't understand, and you don't understand but you're pretending to understand------"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. It's so late, and business here is still so good. Li Cheng must be very busy over there, and you two don't even think about helping him. Why are you always arguing here?"
Weng Xiaozhu's words reminded the two of them, and they quickly looked towards Li Cheng. They saw him standing in the brightly lit area, his hands behind his back, gazing at the bustling stalls. At this moment, he looked more like a general, watching the final outcome of this battle.
"He doesn't need our help. He thinks ahead of everything, which saves us a lot of effort."
After Han Dayazi finished speaking, there was a bit more admiration and respect in his eyes when he looked at Li Cheng.
Meng Jianghong also said: "I am lucky in this life to have met such an interesting person, who can let me shine again."
Meng Jianghong burst into tears after she finished speaking. Meng Jianghong used to work in a company. As a female worker, she was always uneasy about her work and always felt that she should do something big in her life.
These things had nothing to do with money, but she just didn't want to live a mediocre life. So, after the company she worked for went bankrupt, she immediately chose to look for a new job.
After much pleading, practically on her knees, she finally landed a job at a bank. Initially, she was just a teller, sitting behind bulletproof glass counting money and doing the accounting.
Half a year later, she felt uneasy again. Coincidentally, the branch had just established a deposit department, and she was the first to apply to work there.
The work in the deposit department was challenging, and Meng Jianghong felt that this was the time for her to perform normally. However, as time went on, she felt that the work in the deposit department was too simple.
Just when she was feeling a little depressed, Li Cheng appeared and brought her into the tide of the times.
Meng Jianghong believed that as long as she followed Li Cheng, she would never feel bored in her life.
"Well, Captain Zhu will be bringing people to clean up the place tomorrow. I think it would be better if we plan the area now so that it will be easier to clean up when Captain Zhu and his men arrive."
When Meng Jianghong said this, Han Dayazi and Weng Xiaozhu both agreed. The three of them immediately got to work, found a few branches, and went to the east wall.
Li Cheng felt that things were fine. The BBQ City had started well, and as long as he managed it carefully, the stall owners would become wealthy, and his rental income would also be stable. So, Li Cheng called someone over, gave him a detailed explanation, and then planned to go back.
At this time, he noticed that someone was arguing in front of the stall numbered 66. Li Cheng's heart sank, and he hurried over.
After arriving at the stall, Li Cheng stood behind the crowd and watched. He saw a ferocious-looking young man holding a piece of paper and shouting at the stall owner: "Free food, look carefully, it says free food here------"
The stall owner was a laid-off worker. While grilling the skewers skillfully, he said, "Brother, I can read. But this free meal is not ours."
The young man's voice became louder, shaking the paper in his hand and shouting, "Who said it's not yours? I took it out of your box."
Seeing this, Li Cheng understood that this young man must have heard about the free food, so he wrote a "free food" note and said that he took it out of the stall owner's lottery box.
Eat for free? I think you are an idiot! Li Cheng thought as he separated the onlookers and walked towards the stall owner.
