After hearing the sound of the meeting adjourning in the bathroom, Li Cheng waited until everyone had left before hurried to the barbecue city.
The old dyeing and printing factory's land spanned a vast area, with a section of its wall running right next to a main street. When Li Cheng first arrived, he felt it was a waste to have only one section of the wall.
So, after acquiring the land of the old printing and dyeing factory, Li Cheng began to plan to tear down the walls here and build a barbecue city.
Why start a barbecue city? Because the investment is low, the profit is high, and the entry difficulty is also low.
Li Cheng planned a total of 99 stalls, and equipped each with a barbecue grill and a smoke exhaust fan. Although environmental protection requirements were not high at that time, Li Cheng still tried to keep emissions as low as possible.
99 stalls were neatly arranged in three rows across the open space. To the south were the two rows of buildings from the old printing and dyeing factory, with the driving school on the other side.
Construction of these stalls started a long time ago and is now completed. They are just waiting for the walls to be demolished so that they can open for business.
But what was unexpected was that when the construction team went to demolish the wall today, they were stopped by the urban management staff.
The Urban Management Bureau had only been established for two months, so why were they targeting the BBQ City? Besides, the procedures for demolishing the wall had already been completed, and the BBQ City had also obtained a nutrition license. Li Cheng couldn't think of any reason why the Urban Management Bureau could prevent the wall from being demolished.
After arriving there, Li Cheng saw that the members of the construction team were sitting in groups of three or four, smoking, drinking and chatting, while several people in uniform were standing at the gap in the wall that had just been opened, talking to Du Dapeng.
Seeing Li Cheng coming, Du Dapeng quickly said: "My boss is here, you guys talk to him."
After saying that, Du Dapeng ran to Li Cheng and whispered, "They said we didn't apply for a house number, and it will be difficult to manage in the future."
Li Cheng asked, "That's it?"
Du Dapeng glanced at those people and said, "There may be other reasons. I can't figure it out for the time being. You go deal with them. I'm going back first. I have a lot of things to do in the company."
Li Cheng asked him to go ahead and said he would handle this. After Du Dapeng left, Li Cheng slowly walked up to the people and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
Among these people, only one looks about the same age as Li Cheng, and the others are all older than Li Cheng.
Among them was a dark-faced man who looked to be about forty years old. He glanced at Li Cheng, then pointed at the gap and said, "You are opening the gate here. Although you have the procedures, you don't have a house number, so you won't be able to manage it in the future. So, you can't open the door yet."
Li Cheng didn't know who was in charge of this house number, but when he heard him say that, it seemed to make sense.
So, Li Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Where can I get this house number?"
The dark-faced man said, "I don't know. It's none of my business."
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, you are like Dayu's father controlling floods, you only know how to block but not how to dredge!
"So we can't open this door today, right?"
Probably because they heard Li Cheng's tone was wrong, these people looked at Li Cheng with colder eyes.
Li Cheng peered through the gap and pointed inside, saying, "There are 99 stalls here, half of which are rented to laid-off workers. They're rent-free for the first three months, and the rent will be reduced by half thereafter. We're doing this to reduce the burden on the city and bring more warmth to our city. Could you please, for the sake of this matter, let us start the construction first? I'll go get the house numbers right away."
The dark-faced man looked at the stall on the other side of the gap and said with a stern face, "No, no matter what you say, it won't work."
Li Chengxin said he gave you face, right? You can't just talk it over nicely, right? Do you know how much the construction team will be charged for a day's delay? The opening date of the barbecue restaurant has been set, and we can't let the people who come to eat barbecue that day climb over the wall to get in!
Li Cheng suppressed his anger and said, "Our business license states that the address of the barbecue city is the old printing and dyeing factory. You have seen it, right?"
The dark-faced man looked at the folder in his hand and said, "Manager Du has already given me a copy."
Li Cheng nodded and said, "How about this, can we use the address of the old printing and dyeing factory?"
As soon as Li Cheng finished speaking, those people laughed, but they were obviously laughing at Li Cheng.
The man, who was about the same age as Li Cheng, said, "You're using the old printing and dyeing factory's house number here. I want to ask you which one you're using for your door over there? You can't have the same one for both."
Li Chengxin said that it was okay to be the same, since they were originally one company. At most, the one over there was No. 88, so he could just hang No. 88A here.
However, Li Cheng did not say so, because he knew that if he said so, they would let him complete the 88A project first. Li Cheng knew that these people would not let him start the work today, so he was too lazy to argue with them.
So, Li Cheng walked over to the construction workers, found their leader and said, "Go buy some cigarettes and some water, and have your people wait here."
As he spoke, Li Cheng took out two hundred yuan and gave it to him. The man was very happy, waved the money in his hand to his men, and then sent them to buy things.
Li Cheng said to him again: "Your wages will not be less. Just do whatever I ask you to do later."
The foreman said: "If we demolish it by force, the wages..."
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Why are you demolishing it by force? This isn't an illegal building. I'll let you do something good later."
After saying that, Li Cheng walked aside to make a phone call.
The foreman looked at Li Cheng and thought, "Do good deeds? Just pay for doing good deeds. We come out to work to earn money. It doesn't matter whether you do good deeds or bad deeds, as long as we pay you."
After Li Cheng finished his call, he went to a shady spot and stood there. The uniformed men also started to fight with Li Cheng, and asked someone to get some water from the car, and then drank it at the gap.
Not long after, the man who bought water came back. He first walked to Li Cheng with a box of cigarettes and a bottle of water. Li Cheng took the water and asked him to deliver the cigarettes to the people in uniform.
The man walked over to those people, put the cigarette in the gap, turned around and left. Those people were not polite, opened the cigarette and started smoking.
Everyone was waiting, but except Li Cheng, no one knew what they were waiting for.
More than half an hour later, Li Cheng suddenly waved to an old lady sitting on a tricycle and called out, "Grandma, Grandma, I'm here."
When the old lady saw Li Cheng, she patted the woman on the tricycle and said, "Over there, over there, my granddaughter's colleague is over there."
