Chapter 613 Where does all this money come from?
When Yu Li saw that Lin Geng was so happy to agree to her quitting her job at the supply and marketing cooperative and let her do business with them, she jumped for joy, hugged Lin Geng and kissed him hard, then went to pack her things like a little girl.
Next, Yu Li resigned from her job and happily began to prepare the hot pot restaurant with Lin Geng. Only then did she realize that Lin Geng seemed to have endless money. A hot pot restaurant would require an investment of more than 70,000 yuan from purchasing the courtyard house, completely renovating it, decorating it, making signs, purchasing tables, chairs, benches and kitchen utensils. Lin Geng took out the money without blinking an eye.
So Yu Li asked Lin Geng curiously how he had so much money. You know, over the years, Lin Geng gave all his salary to her to support the family. He never asked her for pocket money, and often brought back delicious food and drinks from outside. He didn't even ask her for money for cigarettes. She also asked Lin Geng, and Lin Geng said that he was doing some small business with others outside, selling them in the pigeon market, or selling them to factories and mines, and could make some money.
Yu Li thought that Lin Geng didn't make much money from his small business, so she never cared about Lin Geng's income other than his salary.
It was not until this time when Lin Geng first opened Pinwei Xuan and then planned to open a hot pot restaurant that she realized that Lin Geng took out tens of thousands of dollars without even blinking an eye, which shocked Yu Li.
So Yu Li began to interrogate Lin Geng about how much money he had earned over the years, but Lin Geng just laughed and said, "Don't ask, I don't know even if you ask! Anyway, it's enough to support you and the children, and you won't spend it all in a lifetime! So you can do nothing now, just enjoy yourself at home!"
By the way, I have secretly bought a few courtyard houses over the years. After the hot pot restaurant opens, we will move to the new house and no longer live in Courtyard No. 95! When the time comes, your parents can move in with us, and they won’t have to squeeze into the current compound! "
Yu Li was shocked by Lin Geng's words again. She quickly closed the door and said in a pale voice, "Husband, tell me, you are not doing anything illegal or criminal, are you? Did you rob a bank?"
Lin Geng pouted and said, "Tsk! You can't make so much money by robbing a bank! If you want to talk about illegal crimes, before the reform and opening up, it was considered speculation! The reason I didn't tell you before was because I was afraid that you would worry and scare you!
Otherwise, where do you think we have been fed and watered over the years? How can the children be as strong as calves?
But now it is not considered a crime! So you can rest assured now! I will definitely not do anything illegal again in the future!"
After hearing this, Yu Li patted her chest and said, "You scared me to death! You must never do anything illegal again. If something happens to you, how will my children and I live?"
Lin Geng hugged Yu Li and comforted her, "Don't worry, I promise you, in addition to doing normal business in the future, I promise not to do anything illegal or criminal, and I will rely on doing business to make clean money! I promise nothing will go wrong!"
At this time, Yu Li asked Lin Geng worriedly: "Husband, although the economy has been reformed and opened, we have quit our jobs and opened such a big restaurant. We have made so much money. Will we be capitalists in the future? Will the country be like before? Will our family really become capitalists just by starting out?"
Lin Geng smiled and said to Li: "Just put your mind at ease. The planned economy is only a product of a special period. It violates economic laws. The reason for the reform is to follow market laws and release labor. It is definitely impossible to go back to the past!
Hasn’t the country said that it wants to make the people rich? We are complying with the country’s call, so we will definitely not be labeled as capitalists or capitalist-roaders!
Just believe me and don't worry about it anymore!"
After hearing what Lin Geng said, Yu Li finally felt relieved.
After another three months of hard work, Lin Geng's hot pot restaurant finally opened. Lin Geng casually named the hot pot restaurant Dingzhuang Hot Pot. Before the opening, he hired waiters, waiters and security guards to distribute promotional leaflets everywhere in the streets and alleys around the hot pot restaurant, so the news spread to everyone in the surrounding area before it even opened.
As for the base of the hot pot restaurant, Lin Geng made a special trip to Sichuan Province and spent money to hire a famous chef from the province. Together with Sha Zhu, they tried to make many kinds of hot pot bases and adjusted the taste to a taste that most people in Beijing could accept. They selected several flavors of hot pot bases, such as red oil pot and clear soup pot, and officially launched them on the opening day.
Lin Geng's hot pot restaurant is still taking the high-end route. Not only is the hot pot restaurant decorated in an antique style and of high grade, it also matches the environment of the courtyard house. The price is above average. It became a hit as soon as it opened. The business is good especially at mealtime every day. There is a large group of people queuing outside the door waiting for a table to turn over. As for the single rooms in the courtyard, they also need to be booked one or two days in advance to get a number.
As for the hot pot restaurant, Lin simply handed it over to Yu Li to manage. Anyway, in the original drama, Yu Li opened a restaurant with Yan Jiecheng after the reform and opening up, and hired Sha Zhu as the chef, so there is absolutely no problem with her ability.
But now Yu Li, who is supported by Lin Geng, is no longer as calculating as she was in the original drama. She is now very generous and shrewd in doing things. She handles interpersonal relationships very well and runs the hot pot restaurant very well. But Lin Geng, the real boss, has started to be idle every day and has not much to do.
Later, because the business of the hot pot restaurant and Pinweixuan was so popular, the news soon spread throughout the whole city. Many people traveled far away to taste the food, so the business of the two restaurants was so popular that there was no queue to get a queue, and many guests who came from far away came with high expectations but left disappointed.
So Lin took the opportunity to start opening branches in the city. First, he opened four branches in various places in the city. Because hot pot is mainly about the base material, as long as the taste of the base material is mastered, it will be easier to control the quality of each branch.
And because the business was so good, whether it was Pinweixuan or Dingzhuang Hotpot, the daily consumption of ingredients was very large, so Lin Geng opened another material distribution center and handed it over to the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to manage. He also gave them some shares, which almost made the two guys faint with joy.
