Chapter 442 Preparing for the Northward Journey
Li Shengli had no idea what happened to Banggeng. If he knew, he would have laughed out loud. He has returned to Sijiu City now, and he plans to open his own hot pot restaurant next.

After the hot pot restaurant opened, Li Shengli planned to go north. Even people who don’t know much about history know about the disintegration of Russia. Although it did not happen this year, there are already some signs. At least the economic situation in Russia is not very good.

So this is the right time to do business with Damao. Li Shengli is planning to accumulate wealth quickly during this period of time. When the Company Law is established in 1993, Li Shengli can merge the entire industry together.

But these are things to come later. The most important thing to do now is to open the hot pot restaurant. Li Shengli already has a small hot pot restaurant, and he plans to expand the surrounding area based on this hot pot restaurant.

There are no longer the same rules as before, and now we encourage doing business.

Lee Seung-ri first found several shops next to his hot pot restaurant. There were not only restaurants next to the hot pot restaurant, but also shops selling other things. Lee Seung-ri directly found the shop owners and the people who owned the shops to discuss buying the surrounding shops.

At this point in time, it is still very convenient to solve small things like this with money.

So Li Shengli first bought two nearby shops, and then hung a sign outside the hot pot restaurant saying it was under renovation.

These shops are all small bungalows, and Li Shengli plans to build a two-story building. However, Li Shengli has no money now, but if he had money, he would have to build more floors.

The store issue was easily settled, and the next step was to wait until the hot pot restaurant was completed before opening it.

Next, Li Shengli prepared to head north, but before that he had to be prepared. Not to mention the language barrier, the most important thing was the issue of safety. There were many guns in Mao, and the people there could be said to be a fighting nation. If Li Shengli was not well prepared, it would be easy for something to happen there.

Li Shengli doesn't want anything to happen when his life is so perfect.

"Dad, why don't you not go? We can afford that little bit of trouble." Li Chengzhi was very worried. He had heard that things were very chaotic in Damao right now.

"It's okay. The situation there is very chaotic right now, and some light industrial products are in short supply. Now is a good time to do business with them." Li Shengli does not intend to miss this good opportunity. If he can accumulate a large amount of original funds in the next two years, his business will develop very quickly later.

Li Shengli has no intention of competing with these people in business acumen. He only knows what business will be the most profitable in the next few years. He just wants to make a small contribution to food safety on the basis of making money.

No matter which life he was in, Lee Seung-ri was not cut out for business. It was okay to ask him to copy homework, but it would be a bit difficult for him to write his own homework.

"Shengli, if it's really dangerous then we won't go. You've made a lot of money now, there's no need for us to do anything for this little money."

Han Qiuyun also tried to persuade Li Shengli with concern.

She is a woman who is easily satisfied. When she married Lee Seung-ri before, she didn't do it for his property, but because Lee Seung-ri was really caring at that time.

After so many years, she has eaten both delicacies from land and sea and simple meals. For Han Qiuyun, the most important thing is that her family is happy and safe.

"Don't worry, my wife. I won't joke about my safety. I'm not going alone this time. Didn't I set up a security company before? Although most of these people are engaged in security work, there are still a small number of them who are free now."

Li Shengli knew that most of the people who retired from the team did not have business acumen, and most of these companies were laying off employees recently. Even if these people entered the factory, they would do the dirtiest, most tiring and lowest-paid jobs.

If that’s the case, why doesn’t Li Shengli give them a hand?

"Will this work? They are not well educated."

Han Qiuyun always thought that to do business one must have some knowledge or connections. How can someone like this who has no background, no knowledge, and not a flexible mind do business? "Wife, you don't know this. To do business with Damao, you need some brains, but the most important thing is courage."

In this day and age, although these people cannot do things like getting something for nothing or exchanging canned goods for airplanes, they only need to take the goods to Russia to sell them step by step, and that is enough.

Apart from other things, everyone knows that barter is possible, and there is severe inflation in Russia, so we can never lose money by exchanging the goods over here.

"Is that so?" Han Qiuyun didn't quite understand this kind of thing.

"Dad, how about I go for you?" Li Chengzhi thought about it and was still a little worried about his father.

"Forget it. I'm not too old to walk yet. Once I open up the way, I won't have to go there so often."

Li Shengli was not worried about these things. The initial work was to open up sales channels first. After the sales channels were opened, the people Li Shengli found would continuously exchange some goods that were in short supply in the country from the gate.

By the time two years have passed and prices there have stabilized, Li Shengli will no longer need to transport goods and can just find a middleman there.

Li Shengli also had a stubborn temper. Han Qiuyun and Li Chengzhi saw that they had no way to dissuade Li Shengli, so they just looked at each other and sighed.

"Don't worry, I'll come back if anything happens. Don't you know that I value my life the most?"

Li Shengli did not comfort Li Chengzhi, but began to comfort Han Qiuyun.

Li Chengzhi was also used to Li Shengli's approach.

It is said that husband and wife are true love, and children are accidents. This is well reflected in Lee Seung-ri.

"By the way, Xiaozhi, how is your talk with your girlfriend going? When can you bring her back so we can see her?"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange, Li Shengli cleverly changed the subject.

"Ah?" Li Chengzhi didn't expect that his father suddenly turned the topic to himself, and was stunned for a moment.

"What? You're not young anymore. It's time to get married." Li Shengli glanced at him. "When I was your age, you were already born."

"Dad, is it time for us to discuss this matter now?" Li Chengzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The topic change was too abrupt.

"There's no time like the present. You have to hurry up and get married and start a family while I'm still capable. By the time I hand over everything to you, you won't have that much time to take care of your family."

Li Shengli gave his own advice, saying that children still need their parents' company when they are young. He used to work in a factory and was not that busy, so he could go home every day. If he handed over all the business to Li Chengzhi in the future, he might not have time to take care of his children.

"By the way, we still don't know your partner's name." Li Shengli pondered for a moment and then told the gossip he had heard, "I heard that someone wants to match you with Qin Huairu's little daughter. You have to be careful about this."
