Lu Wanqing knew that to grow a business, it was essential to maintain good relationships with all the relevant departments.
It's okay if there were unpleasant incidents in the past; the key is how to resolve them and turn the other person into a friend.
Doing business is all about navigating interpersonal relationships and social interactions.
If you can't even handle this little bit of relationship, you should pack your bags and go home to take care of your kids.
When Yu Pingwei was investigated by the tax authorities, he was like a frightened bird, completely defenseless. Lu Wanqing calmed things down through her lawyer, and he has always been grateful to her.
Liu Tiancheng, persuaded by Liu Fang, actually approved Lu Wanqing's hotel project. He is currently being interviewed by the organization and will soon be promoted to the Standing Committee.
Seeing that Lu Wanqing had even managed to invite such a powerful figure, the others all came over to flatter her and try to get close to her.
At the banquet, Luo Hao and Lin Chunhua announced their marriage. Lu Wanqing took the lead and gave him a red envelope with 10,000 yuan. Others followed suit, and the couple received so many red envelopes in one night that their hands were sore.
After the banquet, Luo Hao and Lin Chunhua sat on the bed and opened the red envelopes. They were shocked to find that there were more than 100,000 yuan in total.
The two took the money to the villa to find Lu Wanqing, but refused to accept it no matter what.
Lu Wanqing pushed the money towards them and smiled:
"Look at my new house! It's all thanks to Luo Hao's help that it's been decorated so beautifully. I was just wondering how to thank him!"
And you, Sister Chunhua, you've been working tirelessly for my clothing store without asking for a single extra penny. This money is what you deserve.
Don't worry, I have all the favors I've done for you, you don't need to repay them.
Lin Ye also spoke up for his wife, and the two of them accepted the money, thinking that they could only work harder to repay them in the future.
Even though we are all relatives and friends, we should still remember the kindness we owe each other and not take it for granted.
......
Time flies, and it's already 1990.
Huo Xiao stood at the office door, respectfully placing his hands in front of him, waiting for Lu Wanqing to finish getting ready so they could head to the hotel's opening ceremony.
Having not seen her for a long time, he glanced at his Omron watch and urged her on:
"Mr. Lu, time is almost up."
"Okay, don't rush me."
As she spoke, Lu Wanqing walked out from the inner office.
Huo Xiao glanced at her casually, preparing to leave, but his gaze unconsciously returned to her.
She is now in her early thirties, yet she remains so beautiful and charming.
Her face was still as smooth and delicate as a young girl's, and she wore a short jacket on top and a knee-length skirt that hugged her rounded hips, making her look graceful and alluring.
However, her hair, styled in an updo, made her appear slightly more mature, giving her the air of a strong woman.
Huo Xiao touched his nose, suppressing his excitement, and led her to the Audi 100 outside the door.
Lu Wanqing blinked and said in surprise:
"Have you picked up your new car?"
As she spoke, she eagerly got into the car to experience the comfort of the leather seats.
This car is very difficult to buy; not only is it expensive, costing 300,000 yuan, but you also have to wait in line.
"Yes, such a big event as the opening of a hotel naturally requires a good appearance. Today, Standing Committee Member Liu is also here, and he brought a vice mayor with him."
Huo Xiao also got into the car and explained to her the scene they would be facing soon.
Lu Wanqing also has a secretary, but when it comes to important occasions, she trusts Huo Xiao more.
Soon, the car arrived in front of a thirty-story building.
The exhibition booth has been set up, and drums are beating. We are just waiting for the leaders from all sides to arrive so that the ribbon-cutting ceremony can begin.
The ceremony went smoothly and attracted many onlookers. As soon as it ended, Lu Wanqing invited all the guests into the hotel.
I must say, this hotel is just as good as the foreign-owned hotels I've stayed at before.
The interior is fully equipped and decorated in a magnificent style.
Liu Tiancheng had his eyes opened this time, and surrounded by others, he said many encouraging words to Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing nodded modestly:
"Don't worry, I will definitely run the hotel well and bring glory to our country."
Domestic infrastructure construction has begun on a large scale, showing a strong trend of catching up with the United States. Everyone is working hard, and the government is very supportive.
In the years that Lu Wanqing was building her hotel, hotels and shopping malls were also being built in various places, and the economy was booming.
However, this is still far from meeting the standards of developed countries, and all parties need to make greater efforts.
Lu Wanqing seized this opportunity and won several more plots of land in the vicinity, planning to build shopping malls and residences in the future.
"Good, that's impressive." Liu Tiancheng praised Lu Wanqing's plan.
He also reminded the male entrepreneurs to learn from her and to be bold in their thinking and actions.
"You flatter me. I wouldn't dare compare myself to other bosses. I just started a few years earlier."
She smiled modestly, and what she said wasn't wrong.
Take Zhou Huai'an for example. He clearly had the advantage of developing Yingu Street first, but due to poor management, he ended up selling all the shops in that area to Lu Wanqing.
Now, Yingu Street and Jinyuanbao Street are right across from each other, but the scenes are completely different.
Yingu Street used to be quite prosperous, but after Jinyuanbao Street was built, it became a mere maidservant and no longer impressive.
......
Qi Wei emerged from the prison carrying a small bag. The streets were deserted, and no one came to greet him.
I was planning to walk back, but a taxi stopped beside me and I asked:
"Want a ride?"
"How much?" he asked somewhat timidly.
After three years in prison, he was truly terrified. Not only did he have to operate a sewing machine every day, but his money was also confiscated, leaving him penniless. He couldn't buy anything, and his health deteriorated due to hunger.
He still has about ten yuan in his pocket, which he earned by working hard on the sewing machine.
The driver rolled his eyes and told him that the starting fare was five yuan, and it would be one yuan and fifty cents per kilometer thereafter.
Upon hearing this, Qi Wei quickly waved his hand at him, saying that his home was twenty or thirty kilometers away and that he wouldn't be able to make enough money even if he went bankrupt from making this kind of thing.
After that taxi left, several other taxis came by and asked him if he wanted a ride, but he refused them all.
He couldn't understand how there could be so many taxi drivers in just three years.
Unbeknownst to him, the number of taxis in Beijing had exploded from around a thousand a few years ago to over ten thousand.
Moreover, taxi driving is particularly lucrative nowadays, with some earning up to 10,000 yuan a month, making it a highly sought-after profession.
Qi Wei touched the money in his pocket, not daring to spend it at all, and walked along the road, asking for directions home.
He finally managed to get on a bus, but the fare had gone up to two yuan for such a long distance.
He reluctantly paid the money and, after several hours of trekking, finally arrived at Yingu Street.
He wanted to see how the shop he had rented back then was doing.
When I got there, I found that the entrance was sealed off, and the inside was overgrown with cobwebs and completely abandoned.
