Wang Gang took his wife Zhong Xiaoqin, his brother Chen Xu, and Gu Jia. The four of them first took the high-speed train to Jiangxi, got off the train and then transferred to a bus.
At first, Zhong Xiaoqin was quite excited and had the energy to travel. Even Chen Xu was relatively relaxed. Wang Gang specially asked him to take a camera, take pictures along the way, record everything he saw and heard, and write a report when he returned to the magic city.
Experience.
During this period, Wang Gang deliberately trained his younger brother, assigning tasks to him every day, familiarizing him with video shooting, observing major Internet celebrities, and letting him choose a favorite genre.
Wang Gang recommended Chen Xu to do mukbang, but after trying two bowls of noodles, he gave up completely because he really didn’t have that much appetite.
Later, Chen Xu became obsessed with automobile anchors. He was already interested in automobiles, and with his previous contacts, he became more comfortable with this genre.
Wang Gang found several popular car anchors on the Internet and asked Chen Xu to watch their videos constantly, sum up his experience, and write down the advantages and disadvantages of each anchor.
This was very frustrating for Chen Xu. When he was in school, what he hated most was writing his reflections.
Therefore, this visit to the tea factory was a rare opportunity for Chen Xu to take a break.
Among the four, the only one who is worried is Gu Jia.
She is worried about the situation of the tea factory. Although with Wang Gang's one million investment, even if the situation of the tea factory is really bad, she will not lose a lot, but she is really uneasy unless she sees it with her own eyes.
The four of them took the bus three times. The road became narrower and narrower, and the road became more and more deviated. There was not a single human being in sight for several miles. The good mood of Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Xu slowly disappeared, and Gu Jia became even heavier.
The location of the tea factory is more remote than anyone thought, almost deep into a deserted mountain village, and seems so out of place with a modern big city.
Gu Jia became increasingly worried that the tea factory wasn't even worth two million, and he didn't know how Mrs. Li managed it in the first place.
Wang Gang was in a good mood. Instead of worrying, he asked Chen Xu to take pictures of the scenery along the way, which would be good material for publicity in the future.
When the four of them actually arrived at the village where the tea factory was located, the sun was about to set.
A tea factory worker had been waiting at the head of the village for a long time. When he saw Wang Gang and the four of them, he warmly greeted him.
The tea factory was smaller and more backward than Gu Jia imagined, with almost no modern equipment. Tea cultivation and production depended entirely on the villagers in the village, which was purely handmade. Not only was the annual output extremely low, it was also difficult to sell.
Gu Jia looked at the tea factory's accounts and found that it was losing money almost every year. The rare year when there was no loss was because of Mrs. Li's capital injection. Now it was her and Wang Gang's turn to be taken advantage of.
The qualification documents of the tea factory have expired long ago, and it cannot be sold to outsiders at all, and it will cost a lot of money.
Even people like Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Xu who don't know how to do business know that the tea factory has no future at all and is simply a big pit.
Gu Jia once wanted to sell the tea factory as soon as possible. Who wants to be the scapegoat?
"Gu Jia, this place is too remote. Can the tea be sold?" Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but wonder as she looked at the dilapidated buildings of the tea factory and the tea produced.
Gu Jia sighed and said, "The situation here is worse than I imagined."
Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia looked at Wang Gang at the same time, hoping that he would come up with an idea.
Wang Gang took a pack of this year's newly made tea leaves, put it under his nose and smelled it, then pinched a few pieces and put them in his mouth and chewed them a few times, his brows widening involuntarily.
"How about we make a pot of tea to try." Wang Gang swallowed the tea leaves and said to Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia.
Zhong Xiaoqin shook his head and said: "I don't know how to taste tea, but you can ask me to taste coffee."
Gu Jia also said: "I don't do much research on tea."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "You can always taste whether the tea tastes good or not."
The tea factory workers quickly went to boil water and made a pot of good tea for Wang Gang and the others.
Zhong Xiaoqin frowned and took a sip of tea, and soon said in amazement: "This tea is not bad, it is different from what I drank in Shanghai."
Gu Jia quickly took a sip and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Wang Gang took a sip of tea, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Tea is bitter in the mouth, but its taste is sweet, with a little sweetness in the bitterness. It's not bad." Wang Gang put down the tea cup and said:
"The tea is good, but it's hidden a little too deep."
Gu Jia worriedly said: "Otherwise we should sell the tea factory."
"We can't sell the tea factory! Everyone in our village depends on the tea factory for food."
The director of the tea factory and the village chief came out and begged Gu Jia in tears not to sell the tea factory.
Wang Gang first asked the factory director to sit down and calm down his excitement, and then asked about the situation.
It turns out that this village is backed by mountains and cannot grow food. The villagers rely on the meager income from the tea factory every year. The children cannot study, so they come out early to help their families work.
The village chief took Wang Gang and the four of them to visit the village, and the situation was worse than he said.
Because the efficiency of the tea factory is getting worse and worse, the income of the villagers is also gradually decreasing. Many people do not have enough to eat, and their monthly income is less than 1,000 yuan.
This one thousand yuan is needed to feed a family of snacks.
Zhong Xiaoqin saw many children in the village, who were only eleven or twelve years old, helping their parents plant and pick tea. Their little hands were covered with traces of time.
Even Chen Xu, who had lived a hard life since childhood, couldn't bear it when he saw the current situation of the villagers, so he gave the biscuits and snacks he brought to the children.
Those children may have never eaten snacks from the Magic City in their lives, and they kept exclamating and reluctant to eat them.
The four of them, Wang Gang, returned to the tea factory and asked the village chief and workers to go about their business first. They then gathered privately to discuss the future of the tea factory.
"What do you think?" Wang Gang looked at Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Xu.
"These villagers are so pitiful. I can't even imagine that there are such poor places in China." Zhong Xiaoqin sighed.
This visit to the tea factory had a great impact on Zhong Xiaoqin. She had lived in the Magic City since she was a child. Although she was not from a wealthy family, she had no worries about food and drink. She was cared for by her parents before she got married, and pampered by her husband after she got married. She hardly suffered anything.
bitter.
Compared with the villagers who are struggling to survive on the line of food and clothing, Zhong Xiaoqin is living in paradise.
Gu Jia sighed and said, "Although I have long heard that life in some remote mountain villages is not good, I never expected that we would be in this situation."
Chen Xu said bitterly: "Brother, I always thought that my life was poor. Compared with them, I used to have a salary of several thousand yuan a month. I was so happy."
Wang Gang nodded and said: "It seems that I have a deep impression on you when I come to the tea factory this time!"
Zhong Xiaoqin asked Wang Gang: "Husband, can you help them in any way?"
Wang Gang looked at Gu Jia.
"I want to run a tea factory and help the villagers get out of poverty!" Gu Jia said firmly.
Wang Gang looked at Zhong Xiaoqin again.
"Yes, take the villagers out of poverty together." Zhong Xiaoqin also said.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Then what methods do you have to lift the villagers out of poverty? You can't just rely on words, right?"
Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin lowered their heads, as if thinking of a solution, but Chen Xu was the first to speak:
“I think the quality of the tea produced by the tea factory is very good, but it cannot be sold mainly because it is not well-known.
We can use the program "Old Chen and Xiaoqin" to promote it."
Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands and said, "That's right! We now have hundreds of thousands of fans. If each of them buys a can of tea, they can revitalize the tea factory."
Wang Gang looked at Gu Jia again and asked, "What's your opinion?"
After Gu Jia thought for a moment, he said: "The tea factory must have a stable and reliable source of customers, otherwise just relying on one promotion point is not enough."
Wang Gang was very happy that the three of them could express their opinions, especially Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Xu.
This trip to the tea factory touched them a lot and made them finally realize that their current life is not easy and should not be taken for granted.
Wang Gang felt that half of the purpose of this trip had been achieved, and the other half was how to revitalize the tea factory.
"The tea factory's top priority is to renew its qualifications. This matter cannot be delayed." Wang Gang said to the three of them:
"Chen Xu, leave this matter to you. The relevant departments will start running and spend the money they should."
Chen Xu said enthusiastically: "No problem."
Wang Gang looked at Zhong Xiaoqin again and said: "You have to do one thing. Count all the employees in the factory and reorganize all the personnel files. Especially those who understand technology must be counted clearly."
Zhong Xiaoqin nodded and said: "Leave this matter to me. I have done it in the property management company."
"Gu Jia, we have discussed before that I will be responsible for the promotion of the tea factory, and you will handle the daily management and sales. Now we have to think about how to promote the tea factory next." Wang Gang said to Gu Jia.
"What do you want to do?" Gu Jia didn't know why, but she just felt that Wang Gang seemed to be different, and his whole person exuded an indescribable aura.
Wang Gang picked up the tea can and said, "I think the current price of a can of tea is 98 yuan, which is a bit low."
"You want to increase the price? How much?" the three people asked in surprise.
No one bought the tea at 98 yuan. Wouldn’t the price increase make it even harder to sell?
"98 yuan is too little, I think 998 yuan is about the same." Wang Gang said confidently.
