Chapter 501: Walking Boundary(1/2)
Chen Daqiang came back to visit his relatives for the first time in more than five years as a soldier. Before he could talk about family matters, his mother hurriedly said that he would hire a matchmaker to introduce a partner to him.
While Chen Daqiang couldn't help but laugh or cry, he also understood his mother's actions very well.
After all, it is difficult for soldiers to find a partner. As a border guard, Chen Daqiang is much better than ordinary soldiers in terms of salary, housing, military service, leave, medical treatment, etc., but it is actually more difficult for border guards to find a partner than ordinary soldiers.
It's difficult.
In terms of specific analysis, there are probably the following reasons:
One, the conditions are too difficult.
The environment where border guards are stationed is basically inaccessible places, often surrounded by mountains. Compared with ordinary soldiers, the conditions are really much more difficult.
Second, couples spend less time together and more separation.
If the loved ones of border guards do not meet the conditions for joining the army, they can only see each other during temporary visits to the army and vacations every year. Such days are really difficult for these military wives.
Third, women have to bear the heavy burden alone.
Marrying a border guard means having to shoulder the burden of taking care of the elderly on both sides, raising children, etc. This is really not something that ordinary women can bear.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that if she did not have special feelings for soldiers and could understand the great mission of border guards to protect the country, then no woman would be willing to live this kind of life.
Therefore, every military wife is worthy of admiration.
Fourth, it is prone to injuries.
In particular, border guards stationed on plateaus of several thousand meters are prone to injuries and illnesses that may affect their lives due to long-term hypoxia and other reasons.
Five, the risk is great.
Border guards are mostly stationed at national borders. Those places are complicated and dangerous. There are conflicts between countries. There are also borders such as Yunnan and Guizhou that are adjacent to the Golden Triangle. The probability of encountering drug traffickers is not low.
.
It is precisely for the above reasons that it is still very difficult for border guards to find a partner.
So Chen Daqiang understands his mother's thoughts very well.
After Chen's mother introduced Master Jiang's matchmaking experience, she said forcefully: "Anyway, just listen to me and take advantage of this vacation to get married first, lest you return to the army and don't know what to do."
How many years did it take to come back?"
Chen Daqiang couldn't help but sneer and said: "Mom, no, there is a reason why I didn't come back in the past few years. I will try my best to take a vacation every year in the future."
Mother Chen said: "Even if you take a vacation every year from now on, this time you have to listen to me and get married first. This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later."
Chen Daqiang said: "Mom, I can listen to you and go on a blind date first. If it's suitable, I don't mind getting married first, but you can't force this kind of thing. It still depends on fate."
Chen's mother smiled when she heard this and said, "As long as you are willing to go on a blind date, I will call your dad first and ask him to come back to discuss this matter."
Chen Daqiang smiled helplessly, but he was looking forward to the upcoming blind date. After all, he was an energetic young man in his twenties. It was impossible to say he didn't want a woman.
I just don’t know if the master matchmaker is really that magical and can he help him find a satisfactory partner in such a short period of time?
…
With the help of Jiang Feng, the "magic master", the arson attack at the Minghu Hotel was solved within twenty-four hours. The speed made countless people applaud.
Although the fire was extinguished in time, many parts of the Minghu Hotel were still burned down.
Minghu Hotel is a four-star hotel with a history of nearly 20 years. In fact, the decoration style of the hotel has lagged behind those of newer hotels. However, its location is excellent, so business has been good over the years.
Since Su Yao took over the hotel, she has wanted to spend money to renovate it more than once, but she has never made up her mind. After all, the cost of renovating is not a small amount, and she can't do business during the renovation period, which will cost another loss.
A lot of money.
Su Yao's own family background is not strong and she doesn't have much capital to spend on it, so she has not made up her mind to renovate it.
Now, this sudden fire finally made a decision for Su Yao.
Now she can’t do it even if she doesn’t want to redecorate it!
Of course, if Su Yao wants to save money, she can only renovate the areas destroyed by the fire, and leave other areas not affected by the fire as they are. This can save a lot of renovation money.
However, Su Yao is not so short-sighted. She plans to take this opportunity to spend money to renovate the entire hotel.
This is a bit expensive, but at least it can keep up with the development of the times, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
After figuring it out, Su Yao took out her mobile phone and called Qi Meihua, a rich woman with whom she had a very good relationship and who was also the owner of Meihua Decoration Company.
When the call was connected, Qi Meihua asked directly: "Mr. Su, how are you handling the matter in your hotel? Have you caught the culprit behind it?"
After the news of the hotel fire spread, Su Yao received greeting calls from several wealthy business owners, and Qi Meihua was one of them.
Su Yao said: "Thank you, Mr. Qi, for your concern. The police have caught the culprit behind the scenes. He can't escape the sentence and compensation. I'm calling you now because I want to discuss the hotel's renovation with you."
Qi Meihua said: "Okay, then you come to my company and let's meet and talk!"
Su Yao said: "Okay, see you later!"
"See you soon!"
…
The provincial capital of Guizhou Province.
After Li Shuixiu came back from Guangxi Province, she focused all her attention on her Japanese food shop.
If you want to open a truly profitable Japanese food store, you definitely don’t just throw money blindly to open the store. You must first conduct market research to understand the local competition, potential customer groups and market demand.
Then develop a business plan based on the market research results, including positioning, product strategy, target market, pricing strategy, etc.
At the same time, choosing a suitable store is crucial for Japanese food stores.
Although this is Li Shuixiu's first time opening a store for business, she also knows how to determine the location of the store based on factors such as human traffic (these two words cannot be used together), visibility, surrounding competition, and rental costs.
After choosing a store, you need to apply for food hygiene license, business license, trademark registration and other documents.
Next, we need to design a Japanese food menu that attracts customers, establish a reliable supply chain, and establish cooperative relationships with suppliers to ensure a stable supply of ingredients and controllable quality.
Then carry out interior decoration according to the style and positioning of the Japanese food store, and purchase necessary equipment and kitchen utensils, such as stoves, cooking utensils, knives, refrigerators, etc.
There is also the recruitment of suitable staff, including chefs, waiters and other necessary positions. Provide necessary training to staff to ensure they understand the menu, hygiene standards and service procedures.
If necessary, we should also formulate a marketing strategy and use various channels to promote the Japanese food store, such as social media, advertising, word-of-mouth marketing, etc.
In short, if you want to open a Japanese food store from scratch, you need to do a lot of things. Anyway, after Li Shuixiu came back from Guangxi Province, she was very busy.
However, despite being busy, Li Shuixiu feels very fulfilled. Compared with being a housewife in Japan, she seems more satisfied with her current life.
…
I have to say that parents are very efficient when finding partners for their children.
The day after Chen Daqiang returned home, his parents took him to the Happy Dating Agency in the provincial capital and met Master Jiang, who was said to be miraculous.
After the two sides greeted each other, Mother Chen said with a smile: "Master Jiang, our hometown is Qingshan Town. When I was young, our Qingshan Town and your Qinghe Town were still the same family!"
Jiang Feng naturally knew this history.
During the Republic of China, Qinghe Town belonged to the neighboring Tanjiang District. After liberation, it belonged to the Thirteenth District. In August 1958, it was divided into Qingshan Commune, and then in June 1961, it was transferred to Tanjiang District. In September 1984, it was transferred to Tanjiang District.
It was changed to belong to Qingshan Township. It was not until January 1986 that it was divided into Qinghe Township. In August 1993, it was changed to Qinghe Town and has been there ever since.
So Mother Chen was right when she said that Qingshan Town and Qinghe Town were the same family when she was young.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Qinghe Town still does not have its own high school.
Being away from home, being a fellow countryman is undoubtedly one of the fastest ways to get closer. The two parties chatted for nearly ten minutes before getting to the main topic.
Mother Chen said: "Master Jiang, my son chose to serve in the military after graduating from high school. As a result, this brat has been away for more than five years, and he only came back to visit relatives on vacation yesterday.
Because he is a border guard who has been stationed in the remote mountains for a long time and has no chance to find a partner. So I want to take advantage of his vacation to ask Master Jiang to help him find a partner so that he will not be in trouble all the time.
stay single."
Jiang Feng was in awe, looked at Chen Daqiang and said: "It turns out that Brother Chen is a border guard. You strictly guard the national borders in a harsh environment, defend the borders, fight against all aggression and provocations, and ensure the integrity of the country's territory. Really?"
It's good.
I can't help with anything else, but please don't worry, Brother Chen, I will do my best to help you find an excellent partner so that you can protect your family and country without any worries."
Hearing Jiang Feng's praise, Chen's father and Chen's mother both showed happy smiles. Their son was not a good student, and his grades had not been very good since he was a child, which made them quite embarrassed in front of their relatives and friends.
But when the east is not bright, the west is bright. Since their son became a soldier, they parents began to feel proud. After all, it is an honor for the whole family if one person joins the army!
In particular, his son has become a border guard guarding the border. This makes Chen's father and Chen's mother worried about their son, but they can't help but be proud of him.
Now, no matter what the occasion, when mentioning their son, they are greeted with praise.
When Chen Daqiang heard what Jiang Feng said, he was very happy: "Thank you for the compliment. It is the duty of our border guards to protect the border."
Jiang Feng picked up the pen and paper on the table and handed it to Chen Daqiang, and said: "Brother Chen, I know that you soldiers don't have many holidays, so I won't waste your precious time. Write down your name and birthdate, and I will help you calculate it right away.
Ichiban, let’s see where your marriage is?”
Father Chen and Mother Chen have been paying attention to Master Jiang for more than a year, so they are naturally aware of his unpredictable methods of calculating marriage. When they heard him say that they wanted to help with the calculation immediately, their eyes lit up and they quickly urged their son to write his name.
and birth date.
Chen Daqiang also knew Master Jiang's ability, so he quickly wrote down his name and birth date, and then handed the pen and paper back.
Jiang Feng took the pen and paper, then closed his eyes and started counting with his fingers.
