Chapter 381: Confession, Return to Zhengyang Gate
"When the time comes, we will find those who are unemployed to do this. We will provide tricycles and let them pay every month."

And this is just the first step for this company. In the future, there will be taxi companies, transportation companies, travel companies, moving companies, and even logistics companies.

The human-powered tricycle is just the first step, there is nothing that can be done about it. Even if he wants to set up a taxi company now, he can't!
Because there is no place to buy cars for the time being, after one or two years, when the Tianjin Daihatsu is produced, taxi companies will be added immediately.

Food should be eaten bite by bite. The human-powered tricycle at the beginning was just the first bite of food.

"Boss, this probably won't work. People won't buy their own tricycles! Why should they use our tricycles and pay us for it?"

"You don't understand this! How much does it cost to buy a tricycle? They only need to pay 20 or 30 yuan a month to use our tricycles. Do you think anyone would be willing to do that?"

"Uh! This..."

"Okay, you have to know that not everyone is as wealthy as you are. Let me put it this way! For those who don't have a job, let alone buying a tricycle, it's probably a problem to even have food."

"That's true." The fat man nodded.

"More than that, do you think it's better to do it alone or together?"

"Ah! This..."

"If you work alone, you won't be able to do anything if you're bullied. But if everyone works together, everyone on the road will be our people, so who would dare to bully you?"

"It's true!"

"Of course, because we are a company and we need to achieve scale."

Li Jiayi's main goal is not just to build up scale, but also to lay the foundation for the future.

The rickshaw drivers at the beginning became taxi drivers in the future, as well as employees of various companies.

Although the rickshaw puller industry still existed until the 2020s, it was basically a small business.

So Li Jiayi didn’t plan to do it for a long time, but he was sure that he would make a lot of money in the beginning.

In the absence of taxis, how could tricycles not make money?

But it’s no longer possible after we had taxis. Except for some important attractions, forget about other places.

"I understand, Boss. I will definitely support you when the time comes! As long as you say the word, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Get lost! You're going through the mountains of swords and into the boiling water of oil! Why don't you just say you're going to the eighteenth level of hell?"

"Ugh! Boss, you are being superstitious."

"roll!"

"okay."

"Don't be so joking. Let's find a place to have a meal later and improve your food."

"Hehehe, that's great." The fat man scratched his head.

Although the situation is much better now than before, food is still rationed, just a little more than before.

Even the monthly meat coupons have increased by about half. Previously, each person had a quota of only three taels of meat per month, but now each person has six taels per month.

Among them, four taels are pork, and two taels are beef and mutton, mainly because more of them are now raised in rural cooperatives.

Meat is not as scarce as before, and Li Jiayi knows that things will get better and better, especially after the reform and opening up.

Li Jiayi can be said to be a prophet! So there are many things he can do. At the very least, he can be ahead of others.

Yes, he wants to be the first person to try something new, and then others will follow suit. This is normal and no one can do anything about it.

After drinking tea for a while, the two did not walk far and went into a restaurant nearby.

Nowadays, all restaurants are state-owned, even small ones.

The most speechless thing is that not only are the things expensive, but they also don’t taste very good, and you can’t say anything.

I've said it's up to you to eat it or not, and it's written on the counter that innocent customers cannot be beaten and that people are just joking.

One can imagine what the service attitude will be like, which is why more than 90 percent of state-owned restaurants closed after individuals were allowed to do business.

The service attitude is bad, the food is terrible, and who would go to such a restaurant!

Private restaurants are different. What they want is service, and in order to keep the guests, they have to do everything they can to make the food delicious.

These are two completely extremes.

"You find a place to sit down first, I'll go order the food."

"Okay big brother."

This is a restaurant, not a diner. Except for breakfast, Li Jiayi seldom goes to diner to eat.

Because the food in small restaurants is really hard to describe, and he is not going there to fill his stomach, so of course he can't go to those places.

"Give me some braised pork, some shredded pork with Beijing sauce, some three fresh vegetables, and two bowls of noodles with soybean paste."

Li Xiaoshao handed over a handful of meat and grain coupons and let the cashier take them himself.

Of course, money was not cheap either. Although we only ordered three dishes, two of them were meat dishes, and the total cost was two dollars and thirty cents.

After ordering the dishes, I looked back and saw that the fat man had already found a place to sit down, so I walked straight over.

"By the way, are you still going to work in the afternoon?" Li Jiayi asked.

"No, I've already asked for leave. If you don't have anything to do after dinner, I'll go home directly."

"In that case, I'll go get a bottle of wine from the car."

"Sure, sure." The fat man nodded quickly.

When the fat man heard Li Jiayi say to get some wine, he got excited because he knew that the boss had some good wine!

It’s a pity that we are eating outside, otherwise the boss would have brought a jar of wine, which would be better!

Li Jiayi came outside, pretended to get into the car, then took out a bottle of Moutai and returned to the hotel.

"Let's drink this today." Li Jiayi put the Moutai on the table and said.

"Great, this is Maotai!"

The price of Moutai has increased now. Even if you buy it with coupons, a bottle still costs eight yuan. It is no longer the previous two yuan and ninety-seven cents.

And there is no such thing as premium sales at the moment, which means you can’t buy it without a wine ticket.

But even if they have wine tickets, ordinary people are reluctant to buy it! At eight yuan a bottle, how many people are willing to buy it!
At present, five dollars is enough for a person's monthly expenses. A bottle of wine costs eight dollars, so only people with relatively wealthy families will buy it.

"Look at what you have achieved. It's just a bottle of Moutai!" Li Jiayi curled his lips.

If it were someone else, Li Jiayi would definitely not say anything, but this fat guy is not short of money.

Even though this kid bought two courtyard houses and two storefronts, he still has at least several thousand dollars in his hands.

Others would definitely not be able to afford to drink Moutai which costs eight yuan a bottle, but this kid can definitely afford it.

"Hehehe, Boss, I can't buy it!" The fat man scratched his head.

Li Jiayi ignored him, shook his head, took out a few wine tickets from his schoolbag, threw them in front of him and said, "Here are these for you. If you want to drink, buy them yourself."

The fat man's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up the wine tickets and said, "Thank you, boss, they are all Moutai wine tickets!"

"Okay, put it away quickly!"

"Hey!"

Just at this time, the waiter brought the dishes over. The first one served was a plate of three fresh vegetables because it was faster to prepare.

The fat man quickly picked up the wine and said, "I'll get some."

"Ok!"

After the fat man opened the wine and poured it, the Beijing-style shredded pork with soybean sauce and the braised pork were also served.

"Come, eat food."

"Okay big brother."

The two of them ate and drank wine at the same time. When they had almost finished the wine, the noodles with soybean paste they ordered were delivered.

"Brother, do you want more noodles with soybean paste? I haven't had it for a long time." "Then eat it quickly! It will become clumpy if you don't eat it now."

"Ok!"

To be honest, the noodles with soybean paste in this restaurant are very authentic, the kind he likes.

After dinner, Li Jiayi drove the fat man to his unit because his bicycle was still there.

After sending the fat man off, Li Jiayi glanced at his watch. It was still early, so he drove straight home.

When he got home and saw that there was no one in the house, he knew that Lin Ling'er was probably sleeping in the room.

Sure enough, when he returned to the room, he saw Lin Ling'er lying on the bed, and he lay down beside her.

Although I didn't drink much, I still felt a little sleepy, because this is usually the case after a meal.

When he woke up, it was already around three in the afternoon, and Lin Ling'er was no longer in bed.

I got up from the bed, went to the bathroom to wash my face, and then came downstairs.

"woke up?"

"Well! Why didn't you call me?"

"There's nothing going on. What do you want me to do?" Lin Ling'er asked.

"All right!"

"Did you drink at noon?" Lin Ling'er asked.

"I drank a little, with the fat man."

"Come and have some tea."

"it is good."

Watching Li Jiayi finish a cup of tea, Lin Linger asked, "You've been running outside every day recently. Is there something wrong?"

"It's alright!"

"Okay! Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask." Lin Ling'er shrugged after saying that.

"Uh!"

Li Jiayi pulled Lin Linger over and sat her on his lap and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you. I was planning to give you a surprise. Since you asked, I'll tell you!"

"Ah! If it's a surprise, you better not tell me yet."

"No, since you don't trust me, I have to tell you now."

"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen." Lin Ling'er said, covering her ears.

"You have no choice but to listen."

"Giggle!"

"Okay, stop making trouble. I'll just talk to you! You'll have to take over these things in the future anyway."

For Li Jiayi, opening a restaurant is just a small business. The restaurant business must be handed over to Lin Linger to manage. He does not have so much time to take care of the restaurant affairs.

As for whether Lin Linger is capable of doing the job, there is no need to say anything. Born in such a family, managing a few restaurants is something that she can do with ease.

"Okay! Go ahead!"

Li Jiayi pecked Lin Linger on the lips and said, "It's like this, I plan to open a few restaurants, and I've been selecting locations for some time, and I've also been doing some renovations."

"What! You want to open a restaurant?" Lin Ling'er asked in shock.

"Yeah! What's the matter?"

"Oh, how can a person open a restaurant? This is not allowed." Lin Ling'er said anxiously.

Li Jiayi scratched Lin Linger's nose and said, "Don't worry! I got the news that the policy will change soon and individuals will be allowed to do business."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, but it won't be that fast. It will only be one or two years at most. I'm just preparing in advance now. I can open it anytime when the time comes."

"So this is ah!"

"Otherwise!"

"But isn't it a little early for you to start decorating now?"

"It's not early at all. I know what you're worried about. Don't worry! I've hired someone to clean it regularly, so there won't be any problems."

"OK then!"

Li Jiayi decorated it according to the style of later generations! Not to mention one or two years, it will not be outdated even in ten or twenty years.

Of course, due to the problem of materials, the luxury of the decoration is at most equivalent to about two thousand years in later generations.

There was nothing he could do about this. He wanted to decorate it according to the time of the 2020s, but that was simply impossible.

But this is already very good. At least in this era, his shit is definitely unique like a scorpion's poison.

Before she knew it, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Lin Linger glanced at her watch, quickly stood up and said, "Mom and Dad are about to get off work. I'll go cook."

"Yeah! Go ahead! Oh! By the way, don't tell my parents about opening a restaurant for now."

"I know."

When Mom and Dad came back, Lin Ling'er had almost finished cooking. Mom washed her hands and went to the kitchen to help.

Dad came to the main room alone.

"Son, you didn't go to the factory today?"

"There's nothing going on in the factory right now, so why should I go? Deputy Director Liu will be there to keep an eye on it."

Knowing that his son was not the kind of person who liked to grab power, he didn't say anything.

If it were someone else, they would want to stay in the factory 24 hours a day. You know, the logistics department is one of the two largest departments in the entire woolen mill!
In any factory, logistics is a large department. Apart from the logistics department, there is the general workshop.

The director of the logistics department and the director of the general workshop, one is in charge of logistics and the other is in charge of production.

Similarly, the levels of these two departments are also relatively high, the same as that of the deputy factory director.

It can even be said that his power is greater than that of some deputy factory directors. A factory may have several deputy factory directors, but only one director of logistics department and one workshop director.

"You two stop chatting and wash your hands and eat." Mom came in with steamed buns and said.

"Ok."

Li Jiayi and his father hurried out to wash their hands, and then returned to the house. The food had just been laid out, and the family sat down to eat.

After finishing his meal, Li Jiayi glanced at the time, stood up and said, "Mom, Dad, Ling'er, I'm going out for a while."

"Son, why are you going out so late?" asked my mother.

"I have something to do when I go out."

"Mom, don't worry about him. He must have something important to do if he goes out at this time, otherwise he wouldn't go out." Lin Ling'er said.

"Well, come back soon."

"I understand. Don't worry."

"Ok!"

After leaving home, Li Jiayi drove his jeep towards Zhengyangmen.

Twenty minutes later, the jeep stopped at the door of the tavern and Li Jiayi got out of the car.

"Oh! Master Li, it's been a while since I came here."

As soon as I got off the car, I ran into a regular customer of the tavern.
