Seafood market?
Director Yang stuffed his mouth with fish meat and thought to himself, there is a seafood market over there in Shibaqu Lane.
"Yes, the seafood market."
Li Cheng took a sip of the fish soup and thought that Du Xue’s cooking skills were good enough to open a fish restaurant.
Lao Yue put down his bowl and said, "Li Cheng, our seafood market is right here in Shibaqu Alley. Do you fancy it and want to renovate and rebuild it?"
The seafood market next to Shibaqu Lane is dirty and messy. People both like and dislike it.
Li Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't care about that place. It's dirty and smelly."
In fact, Li Cheng bought a private house in Shibaqu Lane, which was opposite Weng Xiaozhu's house.
No one knew about this except Weng Xiaozhu, even Ai Yi was kept in the dark.
"Then what do you want to do? Why are you thinking about the seafood market?" Director Yang stood up and poured himself a bowl of soup.
Li Cheng put down his chopsticks and said, "This is what I think. The light bulb factory is in a bad situation right now. Director Yang, can you talk to them about recovering the loan?"
Director Yang took one look at him and said, "I can't take advantage of someone's misfortune. Do you think I'm a capitalist?"
Li Cheng squinted at him and thought to himself, just keep pretending. The light bulb factory has filed for bankruptcy several times, and you're about to be in trouble.
"Director Yang, do you think it's bright here?" Li Cheng said, pointing upwards.
Director Yang looked up at the roof and said, "With so many lights on, it must be bright!"
Li Cheng said, "But do you know that the electricity consumption of so many lights is much less than that of the original large light bulbs?"
Director Yang understood what Li Cheng meant. He looked at the tubular energy-saving lamps again and said, "Are they really that energy-efficient?"
Li Cheng snorted and said, "I pay for the electricity bill, and I was the one who ordered the energy-saving lamp to be replaced. How could I not know whether it is energy-saving or not?"
Director Yang had nothing to say.
After Li Cheng became the deputy director, he made drastic changes to every aspect of the branch, from the office environment to the lighting.
Now the branch environment has improved greatly and the operating costs have been reduced a lot.
This is all visible to the naked eye, unless the person is blind.
After a while, Director Yang asked, "Li Cheng, tell me, what do you want me to do? I guess you don't have any good intentions by suddenly treating me to a meal."
Although it was a joke, Ai Yi was not happy about it. She threw the spoon back into the bowl and said, "Director Yang, you are so heartless to say that. I wanted to buy this big fish, and my Li Cheng even had a fight with someone over it. How can treating you to a fish be considered bad intentions?"
Director Yang quickly said, "Okay, okay, thank you both for your kindness. Li Cheng, your wife is more capable than you!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone at the table started laughing...
Meng Jianghong picked up a piece of fish for Ai Yi and said, "Ai Yi, let's not worry about their business. The gentlemen are talking about business, and we eat fish. Eat more. Fish is good for women, it won't make you gain weight..."
Lao Yue also said: "Sister Meng is right. When men are discussing things, they hate it most when women interrupt..."
"Old Yue, shut up, you're not a man."
Lao Yue looked at Meng Jianghong and tactfully stopped talking.
Old Yue is quite miserable. Ever since he married Yue Xiaoyun, Yue Xiaoyun, who used to be humble and obedient, has become a shrew in Old Yue's eyes.
Old Yue is now almost free of all health problems. Not only that, his pockets are also clean.
Lao Yue has quit smoking and drinking now. He goes home after get off work and asks Yue Xiaoyun for permission before going anywhere.
Let’s say Li Cheng invited him to dinner this time. It was Li Cheng who called Yue Xiaoyun first, and only then did Old Yue come out to dinner.
Although Meng Jianghong is a woman, she looks down on her current father-in-law.
In fact, Li Cheng understands Yue Xiaoyun very well. Old Yue is now worth millions. If Yue Xiaoyun doesn't control him, it won't be long before Old Yue is surrounded by scandals, and Yue Xiaoyun may have to live a life of tears alone.
It's better to keep him under control. Dangerous people like Lao Yue who will go down the path of fraud if no one is watching over them need a strong woman as his wife.
Of course, it was Li Cheng who asked Yue Xiaoyun to control Lao Yue. This matter was easy to handle. All he had to do was tell Yue Xiaoyun that men should not have money, otherwise they would become bad if they had money.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became awkward, and Li Cheng quickly said, "Old Yue, if you want to go out for a drink next time, just say I'm calling you, and Yue Xiaoyun will definitely let you out. Mention my name, it works."
As soon as Li Cheng finished speaking, Ai Yi slammed the table, glared at him with almond-shaped eyes and said, "Can you please not be so kind?"
Li Cheng suddenly remembered that Yue Xiaoyun and Ai Yi were on good terms, so he quickly said, "Old Yue, let's leave it at that. I can't help you anymore, brother. You're on your own."
Lao Yue was even more embarrassed. He kept shaking his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I can handle it..."
Li Cheng didn't care whether he could bear it or not, and he just accepted his fate as the wife he had found.
Li Cheng turned to look at Director Yang and said, "Ai Yi was a little frightened today, so he spoke bluntly. Director Yang, please don't take it to heart."
Director Yang actually didn't care about what Ai Yi said at all, but when he heard Ai Yi say that Li Cheng had fought with someone for a fish, he asked Li Cheng what happened.
Li Cheng didn't want to talk about this now. The fish was delicious, so why spoil the mood?
Li Cheng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Let's talk about the light bulb factory..."
Before he could finish, Director Yang suddenly said, "Are you planning to move the light bulb factory to that salt marsh as well?"
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Director Yang, you're amazing! I didn't expect you to be even more thoughtful than I thought..."
Originally, Li Cheng only wanted to take a piece of the light bulb factory land. Now, Li Cheng thinks it would be better to take over the entire light bulb factory land.
The light bulb factory was relocated to the salt marsh, where the land was cheap, almost free. This greatly reduced the cost of building a new factory and a new production line.
Energy-saving lamps will be the trend in the future, and LEDs will follow soon. As long as light bulb manufacturers keep up with this trend, their profits will naturally improve.
Originally, the light bulb factory had only a few hundred employees. But when it was doing well a few years ago, the city forced it to acquire the less profitable valve factory.
As a result, with the increase in the number of workers and the products facing obsolescence, the light bulb factory was in dire straits.
As long as the light bulb factory moves away, the seafood market that Li Cheng envisioned will have a larger space.
Although the city is not big, it is located at the throat of the peninsula and has an important position.
There are abundant seafood and products here. Building a large-scale seafood market will not only solve the employment problems of many people, but also attract foreign population.
The city urgently needs to expand in order to be invincible in future competition.
"Director Yang, what is a big city?"
"A city with a radius of dozens or even hundreds of miles is considered a big city."
Li Cheng shook his head. "You're wrong. It's the population. Places with large populations are big cities..."
