Xu Shiyan accompanied his son out to compete. In order to let the child have a good rest, he specially requested a two-person room.
Of course, the two teachers who were together also arranged a room for two.
Xu Shiyan is not short of money. No matter where he goes, he must make clear arrangements.
The two men had just entered the room and rested for a while. Xu Shiyan was lying on the bed staring blankly when suddenly he heard someone knocking on the door.
When he got up and opened the door, he saw that Xu Shiyan was shocked.
"Secretary Guan? Bureau Chen, Bureau Lin? Why are you here?"
Xu Shiyan didn't react for a while, so he asked. In fact, he had second thoughts as soon as the truth came out, so the receptionist must have reported it to him.
"Secretary, come in quickly.
I am accompanying my children to a competition in the provincial capital. I pass by the city and think about it for a few hours, so I don’t want to go over and disturb you."
Xu Shiyan hurriedly stepped aside and asked Guan Enxue and others to enter the room.
Guan Enxue and the others came over immediately after receiving the news. When they saw Xu Shiyan, Guan Enxue deliberately made a fierce face and rolled his eyes at Xu Shiyan.
"I think you just want to see us outside.
No matter how many hours you are here, even if you are just reversing at the station, just tell us in advance and we can help you make arrangements."
"Yes, yes, I think too much, and I always feel that it is not easy to bother Secretary Guan about such a trivial matter.
After all, it’s almost the end of the year and you’re busy with work.”
What can Xu Shiyan say? If Guan Enxue talks, then he just listens.
"Come in quickly and sit inside."
"No, let's not go in and delay the children's rest. Come on, let's find a place to sit down and chat for a while.
I've asked someone to arrange a hotel, and we'll pick up Yuanyuan later and go have dinner together."
As soon as Guan Enxue arrived here, he told the people at the guest house to arrange a separate room for them so that they could sit down and chat for a while.
The main reason is that the conditions of this guest house are average. There is just a bar and a restaurant downstairs, which is not suitable for chatting.
Xu Shiyan looked back at his eldest son. The train was bumpy and bumpy all the way. It was actually quite tiring. He should let his eldest son take a good rest.
"Okay, follow the secretary's arrangements.
Yuanyuan, I’ll chat with your Grandpa Guan and Uncle Chen for a while first, while you rest in this room.”
Xu Shiyan was less than forty, and Guan Enxue was twenty years older than him. With this age difference, he must be an elder, so Xu Shiyan said this.
As for Chen Jianzhang and Lin Qiyue, they are both in their early fifties, not much different from Guo Shouye.
Usually they and Xu Shiyan are brothers, but Xu Haiyuan has to be called uncle?
Xu Haiyuan stood behind Xu Shiyan and called out obediently, "Hello, Grandpa Guan, hello, Uncle Chen, and hello, Uncle Lin."
"Hey, good, good, this kid is smart at first glance. He's really a rare person."
Guan Enxue looked at Xu Haiyuan with a smile on his face, a look of kindness on his face.
"Well, you rest first and get enough energy to go to the competition. Let's chat with your dad and grandpa will take you to dinner later."
In this way, Xu Shiyan followed Guan En and went to the room opposite to sit down.
The person in charge of the guest house learned that the secretary in charge was coming and quickly brought tea and other things.
Xu Shiyan, Guan Enxue and the others started chatting in this room, mainly talking about the health products factory.
"Xiao Xu, I heard that your wife's Jishengyuan health care product is very popular now, with annual sales of several hundred million?
Well, see if you can build another factory in our city or something?
Nowadays, the economy here is in recession, and the efficiency is not very good. Many factories have stopped production, and workers are idle at home with nothing to do.
If nothing else, the pharmaceutical factory in your county is half-dead.
Lao Chang has told me several times to help me find a way, and I happened to meet you today, so I wanted to ask you to give me some advice."
Guan Enxue and Xu Shiyan have known each other for many years and have a good relationship, so they didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Jishengyuan Health Products Factory was really popular this year. Su Anying called back that day and said that by the beginning of December, sales had reached six to seven billion.
Nowadays, there are agents and dealers in various regions, which can be said to be in full bloom and a prosperous scene.
It is expected that there will be another wave of sales peak during the Spring Festival this year.
Currently, the factory is working overtime to grab orders, with workers working in three shifts, with people and machines constantly working.
Thanks to Xu Shiyan's warning in the summer, all kinds of raw materials are fully prepared when autumn comes, and there will be no shortage of raw materials.
However, behind the boom, there are also some hidden dangers.
Ji Tongzhong recently visited the market and found that similar health products have begun to appear in some places.
Gu Shengyuan, Ji Yingyuan, etc. use similar characters to circumvent their products and imitate their packaging.
If ordinary people don't distinguish carefully, they can easily be fooled.
Not only are these imitation products, there are also some that are independent brands and trademarks, but the formulas are similar to Jishengyuan's products.
The main functions are the same, regardless of whether they are really the same or not, that’s what it says on the outer packaging anyway.
There are not many such situations at present, but this sign is not good. If no measures are taken to deal with it, it may affect Jishengyuan's reputation.
But Xu Shiyan currently can't come up with a good plan on how to deal with it specifically.
The main reason is that currently China does not pay much attention to trademarks and patents. Even if you want to go through formal channels, the relevant departments may not be willing to take care of it.
Furthermore, many of the counterfeit products are small workshops, illegal factories, etc., without formal procedures, and most likely do not even have factory buildings.
If they hear the rumor, they will run away. Even if they are caught, they won't have much money to pay. At most, they will just go in and squat for a few days, which is of no use.
"Secretary Guan, the health care product factory is indeed booming at the moment, but there are also many difficulties.
I was just about to report it to the leader and ask for his advice."
Xu Shiyan also had this consideration in mind when he accompanied his son to the provincial capital this time.
Although going to the leader may not solve any problem, as the main person in charge of the company, you must learn to complain to the leader.
You have to let your superiors understand that the business is not easy.
When Guan Enxue and others heard what Xu Shiyan said, they were all dumbfounded. How had they ever experienced such a thing?
"How can such a thing happen? These people are so shameless. Aren't they just trying to suck our blood?"
After Guan Enxue listened, his anger suddenly rose.
Although Jishengyuan Health Products Factory is in the south, its employment, profits and taxes, and economic development have nothing to do with it.
But don’t forget that there are many medicinal materials in the raw materials, especially ginseng, which are all purchased from Fusong.
This is equivalent to indirectly driving the local economy and finding a way out for ginseng farmers.
Jishengyuan Health Products Factory has annual sales of several hundred million, and the raw materials required are also quite large.
】
The ginseng market has stabilized this year. This is partly because health product manufacturers have purchased raw materials and sales are smoother than before.
If Jishengyuan Health Products Factory is affected by those imitated and counterfeit products and its sales decline, it will not only affect the profits of the factory, but also the raw material suppliers.
"Xiao Xu, what do you think we should do about this?
You come up with a charter and I will mention it to the province, and the province will never sit idly by and ignore it."
Guan Enxue is so anxious, is this okay? He is completely lawless.
"Secretary Guan, to be honest, I don't have a very good idea."
This is the truth. Not to mention now, even twenty years from now, such counterfeiting will continue to happen.
Six nuclear bombs, Lei Bi, Kang Shuai Fu, Pulse Jie, Nutrient Line, Wang Zi, Zhou Zhu Pai, Rimao, Tai Jie and so on.
These are all using similar characters and similar packaging to attract people's attention. If consumers do not distinguish carefully and cannot recognize Li Kui and Li Gui, they will be easily fooled.
When something goes wrong, everyone will throw dirty water on the genuine product. This kind of thing simply doesn't happen too much.
“The products our company exports not only apply for formula patents, but also apply for trademarks and outer packaging patents.
Foreign countries attach great importance to these things, so the impact on this aspect is relatively small. But as you know, Secretary Guan, we do not pay attention to these things in our country now.
Companies like ours spend a lot of time and energy and a lot of costs on research and development, but in the end, they are easily plagiarized.
To be honest, this is really a big loss for the company, and it can even be said to be a disaster."
These things are not something Xu Shiyan can solve.
We must find superior leaders and find ways to attract the attention of relevant departments, so that the industrial and commercial departments can standardize the management of the market and promote the implementation of legislation and relevant punishment regulations.
Regardless of whether these are useful or not, they can still scare some people.
For the rest, various aspects of publicity may be needed to allow companies to maintain the brands they have worked so hard to create.
Guan Enxue and the other three were silent for a long time after hearing this.
"Okay, Xiao Xu, I've written this down.
I'll call the province later. When you get to the province, go find the relevant leaders and report the situation."
Guan Enxue finally sighed and said.
"I originally wanted to discuss with you whether we could revitalize your county's pharmaceutical factory, but I didn't expect that you would encounter a lot of difficulties."
Xu Shiyan did not expect these matters to be resolved quickly.
He mentioned these, on the one hand, he hoped that the leaders could help, and on the other hand, he deliberately complained to let the superiors know their difficulties.
Don't think that it is easy to build a factory or create a brand. It requires countless people to work hard and invest a lot of money and energy to do it.
Don't blame everything on him, he's not a rag collector.
The county pharmaceutical factory is now struggling to survive.
Xu Shiyan has no interest in investing a lot of money and energy to take over a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy.
Guan Enxue and others chatted with Xu Shiyan for a while. At this time, the staff came over and said that the hotel had made arrangements.
"That's it, take Yuanyuan with you, let's go to the restaurant together and chat while eating."
Xu Shiyan took a look and saw that it was already around four o'clock and not even five o'clock. The train left at nearly nine o'clock in the evening, so there was still plenty of time.
Since Guan Enxue has spoken, it's not good to refuse, so let's go to dinner together.
"Okay, then I'll call Yuanyuan. By the way, Yuanyuan's two teachers are also at the guest house. Can we come together?"
When four people go out together, it's hard to leave two of them alone. Xu Shiyan and his son went to have dinner.
"Okay, what else is there?" Guan En is a very cheerful person, so naturally he doesn't mind having two more teachers together.
In this way, Xu Shiyan went back to call Xu Haiyuan, and then asked the two teachers next door.
When the two teachers heard that the secretary had arranged a meal, they quickly waved their hands and said, "What are their identities? They didn't dare to go."
The two teachers refused to go, and Xu Shiyan had no choice but to take Xu Haiyuan to dinner with him.
Before going out, Xu Shiyan told the people at the guest house to cook some good dishes for the two teachers upstairs, and the accounts would be settled with Xu Shiyan.
If Guan Enxue treats guests, it must be the best hotel.
Nowadays, the conditions are better, the hotel decoration is splendid and looks particularly high-end.
When ordinary people come to a place like this, they will inevitably look around and be curious about everything.
But Xu Haiyuan, the kid, watched his eyes, nose, and heart, and was not moved at all. He sat in his seat neatly, silently, well-behaved and generous.
"Hey, Xiao Xu, my eldest grandson is amazing. He is calm and composed at such a young age, and he has the air of a general."
Guan Enxue looked at Xu Haiyuan, liked him very much, and praised him repeatedly.
"Good boy, no wonder people say that famous teachers produce great disciples, and the children trained by Mr. Chu himself are indeed different.
It would be a big deal if he could be selected to compete in the provincial competition. This kid is studying very well."
When people praise their children, Xu Shiyan has to be humble.
"Secretary Guan received the award, mainly because Mr. Chu and the school teachers taught me well."
“No matter how well others teach you, it’s up to the children to live up to their expectations.
Then there are two to three hundred people in a grade of Donggang Middle School, why did Yuanyuan be chosen to participate in the competition? Aren’t the children still outstanding?
You don't need to be humble in front of us.
If you train your child well, this little guy will still be able to participate in world competitions in the future.
If that day comes, let alone your family or your county, it will also be the glory of our city and province."
Anyway, the more Guan Enxue looked at Xu Haiyuan, the more he liked him. Why did he just like this kid?
"Thank you very much for the compliment, Grandpa Guan. I will definitely work hard and live up to Grandpa Guan's expectations."
Xu Haiyuan raised a sweet smile in time and responded to Guan Enxue's compliment.
"That's right, young people must have the spirit of a young man.
Go to the game well, Grandpa Guan is waiting for good news from you." Guan Enxue nodded with satisfaction.
The hotel was booked in advance, so everyone sat down and chatted for a while before the food and drinks were served.
Xu Shiyan, Guan Enxue and others were drinking and chatting, while Xu Haiyuan ate quietly and listened to the conversation between his father and several leaders.
Guan Enxue was too old to drink too much, and Xu Shiyan had to take a train to the provincial capital in the evening.
So they didn't drink much, they mainly talked and chatted.
Most of the conversation focused on how to develop the local economy, how to revitalize the ginseng industry, and the endless counterfeit products we just talked about.
Everyone ate, drank, and chatted until about half past seven. When Guan Enxue saw that it was getting late, he announced that that was the end of the day.
"Well, Xiao Xu has to take a bus to the provincial capital in a while. Let's stop here today. We can have a nice gathering some other time if we have a chance.
I have arranged the tickets for you guys to go to the provincial capital. They are all soft sleepers, so you can have a good rest at night.
Take good care of my eldest grandson on the way, I'm still waiting for good news."
Originally, when Xu Shiyan and the others went to the provincial capital, each school reported the number of students and paid for it, and the tickets were booked here.
But Guan Enxue had already arranged a soft sleeper, and Xu Shiyan couldn't refuse.
"Then thank you, Secretary Guan. It's getting late, so let's go back to the guest house to pack our things.
Wait for Yuanyuan to come back from the competition and come visit Secretary Guan if you have time."
So Guan Enxue arranged a car to take Xu Shiyan and his son back to the guest house.
It was still early, so the father and son went back upstairs to pack their luggage. While packing, Xu Haiyuan chatted with his father.
"Dad, have you and my mother considered separating our families?
I'm not talking about you two, but that health care product factory.
Originally, there were great hidden dangers in this joint venture between state-owned and private enterprises, so I think you might as well take the opportunity to separate."
When Xu Shiyan heard what his son said, he was stunned, "Ah? Separate the family? How can we still separate the family?"
At first, I felt that your mother and your uncles were inexperienced and not strong enough, so I thought of taking them with me.
Now that the factory has developed, and the revenue this year is also very impressive, if we want to split up now, wouldn’t the factory be ruined?”
