"Mr. Xu, the preliminary procedures have been completed, and we will submit these materials for approval tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, Mr. Luo, to follow up on!"
"You're welcome. Thank you very much, Mr. Xu, for choosing our Hannan Financing Guarantee Company."
“.”
Loans obtained through financing guarantee companies require significantly more contracts than loans obtained directly from banks. Correspondingly, the former takes less time than the latter, and under ideal circumstances, the loan can be disbursed within fifteen working days.
In other words, by the end of October, Xu An will have received 24 million yuan, and Xu's Catering will enter a phase of major expansion.
While waiting for the funds to arrive, you can find a design company or institute to design a plan for the seaside hot spring.
This is a massive investment of 60 million. Once completed, this project will create a large number of jobs and stimulate economic development in the surrounding area.
Therefore, this bidding process will not be as hasty as the previous one at Xu's Catering Headquarters. It will not be a half-baked attempt made to save money. This time, it is a real bidding event launched for the entire Haiyang City, and even Haiyang Province and the whole country!
Any design company or organization interested in the marine hot spring project is welcome to participate, design their own proposal, and share their design ideas.
An investment of 60 million yuan means this is a project that requires careful planning to complete; it's energy-intensive and yields relatively little profit.
However, Xu An doesn't need to consider or weigh any of these things. He only needs to provide a standard and a price, and the rest will naturally be handled by Lu Shengnan and others for negotiation and adjustment.
Holding the receipt, Xu An took a taxi back to the entrance of Xu's Restaurant. As soon as he got out of the car, he bumped into Lu Shengnan, who was walking out with a bag on her back.
"Boss, why are you back?" Lu Shengnan was a little surprised to see Xu An. She had come back because of Niu Daben's visit, so why was the boss back?
"Master Liu will bring two members of the Disabled Persons' Federation over to give it a try in a bit," Xu An explained briefly, then asked, "Did you meet with Mr. Niu, who proposed the 'Hezibao Potato Battle' project? Has he made a decision?"
“No.” Lu Shengnan shook her head and said, “One hundred tons is a lot. Even with a 50% discount, it would still cost two hundred and fifty thousand.”
"It's alright. It would be best if it worked out, but if not, we'll take it slow. We can still ship through Taobao Store without any problems." Xu An wasn't surprised, since this idea was just a risky gamble.
"Boss, can I stay and keep an eye on Master Liu and the others?"
"Boss, Mr. Lu, you're both here!" Chef Liu's voice suddenly interrupted their conversation: "These are Zhao Shan and Zhao Bao, members I found from the Disabled Persons' Federation. This is Mr. Xu from Xu's Catering, and this is General Manager Lu from Xu's Catering."
"Hello, Mr. Xu! Hello, General Manager Lu!"
After listening to Master Liu's introduction, just as Xu An was recalling the sign language gesture for "you're welcome," Zhao Shan and Zhao Bao actually started speaking!
Although the voices were somewhat muffled and the rhythm of their speech was as cold and monotone as a robot's, Xu An and Lu Shengnan could clearly hear that it was indeed their voices.
"The two brothers developed acquired deafness due to improper medication during childhood fevers, but they can still manage simple greetings," Liu Daxi explained. "However, they mainly communicate using sign language in daily life."
With Liu Daxi's help, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group, including Lu Shengnan, went into the kitchen.
Upon entering the kitchen, Liu Daxi gestured to Zhao Shan and Zhao Bao, then simultaneously pressed the switches for two smart woks. The two enormous stainless steel woks slowly began to rotate, and the cold, mechanical sound echoed throughout the kitchen.
Please select the dish to be cooked!
Zhao Shan and Zhao Bao didn't look towards the source of the notification sound; their gazes were fixed on the screen, where a line of text identical to the notification sound slowly scrolled across the display.
Sauté pork belly in oil until fragrant and set aside. Sauté minced garlic, green peppers, and various seasonings until fragrant.
Watching the two of them complete all the cooking steps step by step according to the instructions, and seeing the satisfied look on Xu An's face after tasting the dish, Liu Daxi knew that his suggestion was a sure thing.
"Do they both have jobs now?" Xu An put down his chopsticks and looked at Liu Daxi with a smile, saying, "If they don't have jobs, they can come over tomorrow to complete the onboarding procedures!"
——————
News travels very well between communities, especially among residents. Nanqiao Garden only received the notification last night that it was included in the pilot program for the "Two Yuan Lunch," and this morning, the entire Nanyuan Community and Nanshe area were already aware of the news.
The residents in the Nanshe area are quite calm. Jinxiu Hotel is a large hotel in Shanghai, and the dishes it serves are commendable in terms of taste, portion size, and variety. There are not many things to complain about.
But when the Nanyuan residential community heard the news, it was like a pot boiling over, and they gathered together and started arguing.
"The Nanshe area is home to the Jinxiu Hotel, a large hotel in Shanghai, and the Nanqiao Garden area is home to the Fengshou Farm, a large enterprise in Shanghai. How come our Nanyuan Community is only served by a small fast food restaurant?"
"You can't say that. Although this fast food restaurant is small, the owner is quite dedicated. Look, they're filming videos every day and sending people to do surveys. Didn't the delivery driver say yesterday that they've invited some kind of nutritionist to adjust the menu?"
