When the train arrived at Hung Hom Station, Lin Xiaoguang walked outside the station and looked at the clear sky and the bustling scene outside. He couldn't help but sigh: "Ah, Xiangjiang, I, Hu Hansan, am back again."
Next to him, a young Huaxin woman holding a child couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard what he said.
He did not continue to sigh because he saw Zhong Wenzhang. The latter drove the official car purchased by Qinhuai Food and Drink to pick him up. The car was parked on the side of the road. He was sitting on the driver's seat and stretched his hands out the window to greet him. On the other side, Ruan
Wan kept waving to him like a lark.
"Lin Xiaoguang, this way!"
He walked over with his luggage, crossed the sidewalk, walked to the car, opened the door and got in before saying hello.
"Brother Wen, Ah Wan, long time no see. Happy New Year."
"It sounds like we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's only been half a month since the day you left." Ruan Guan rolled his eyes.
"Drive, let's go." Zhong Wenzhang saw Ruan Guan and Lin Xiaoguang quarreling like enemies, and immediately smiled knowingly, didn't bother to pay attention, started the car and left.
As the BMW shuttled between the endless traffic, Lin Xiaoguang stretched, yawned, and then asked: "Brother Wen, Ah Guan, how are you doing this year in Xiangjiang? How is Sister Ah Hui?"
"
Ruan Guan didn't wait for Zhong Wenzhang to speak, and said first: "What else can I do? My brother-in-law wants to accompany his sister and be careful when going outside. Playing is also good for the baby. It's boring for me to be alone. In your words, they are showing affection. I
What's the point of watching from the sidelines? I go out alone and there's no one to play with, so I might as well stay at home and watch TV."
"Didn't you always live like this in the past? What's the point?" Lin Xiaoguang didn't care.
"What do you know about girls' things?" Ruan Guan curled his lips.
Lin Xiaoguang looked at Zhong Wenzhang: "Brother Wen, where are you?"
"It's okay." Zhong Wenzhang smiled and said, "As I said just now, apart from going to the hospital for prenatal check-ups, the rest of the time I will either go to the company or do some exercise with Ah Hui. My life is very comfortable."
"As long as it's comfortable." Lin Xiaoguang felt relieved.
"You have gone home too. Have there been any changes at home?" Zhong Wenzhang looked at him and asked.
"Now, the spring breeze of reform is blowing all over the land. In my hometown, the household quota system has basically been implemented in all the towns and villages in my hometown. Every household is working hard to produce. The farmers have food in their hands. This year is much more prosperous than before.
Already."
Lin Xiaoguang recalled and slowly said: "Except for farmers in my hometown, it is now legal to run small businesses in towns, counties and cities. There are more people selling things on the streets. I don't know how much more prosperous it is than before. The New Year's flavor
It's enough. The Roujiamo and Liangpi from my hometown in Chang'an are now on sale again. You don't know, I bought them as soon as I left the train station and they are really delicious."
"Is it really that delicious?" Ruan Wan didn't believe it.
"You'll know after you eat it."
They chatted for a while, and after a while, Lin Xiaoguang asked about the business: "It's been many days since I left. How are things going recently? Is there any good news about Qinhuai Food and Drink? Where is Huarun Wanjia?"
Zhong Wenzhang stared straight ahead, concentrating on driving, but began to report: "Fortunately, the sales during the Spring Festival are very good. Thanks to that advertisement, our Qinhuai food and drink is famous. Everyone in Xiangjiang knows Master Kong instant noodles, Shuanghui
Ham, Youlemei milk tea, Manka coffee, and MSK fast food are all from Qinhuai Food and Beverage."
"It is generally estimated that sales during the Spring Festival should be the same as last month."
"There are two reasons. During the Spring Festival, most white-collar workers are on vacation within three to seven days, so convenience store sales are on a downward trend. After the Spring Festival, companies start working, coupled with advertising, under the dual effect,
Sales have increased significantly, with one decrease and one increase, that’s what happened.”
Finally, he said: "Our Qinhuai food and drink and Huarun families are both prospering and losing. The situation is basically the same, there is no difference."
Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but nod as he listened, and finally asked: "Besides these daily sales, is there anything else?"
Zhong Wenzhang thought for a while and said: "On the company side, there is nothing else except daily operations, but there is something going on at the factory. The workers took the products home after get off work and were discovered by the security guards. After being criticized and fined, the next time The Japanese worker didn't come to work and resigned voluntarily after three days, and then I heard that he went to another instant noodle factory."
Lin Xiaoguang's face condensed slightly and he said with a smile: "The factory has a factory management system. Workers take products home privately. The first time they are verbally criticized, their items will be confiscated. The second time they are criticized, they will be fined and their items will be confiscated. The third time, they will be fired directly."
"These management systems were formulated by factory director Liao Yuan and are basically inherited from his predecessor. There is nothing wrong with the system. We must maintain the system, especially the employees who maintain the system."
He asked: "How did the security guard deal with it?"
"What happened yesterday has to be dealt with today." In response to his words, Zhong Wenzhang nodded his head.
"The duty of security is to maintain order in the factory and to monitor whether products are brought home without permission. This is one of their responsibilities. It is within their scope. We cannot praise them too much, but we cannot turn a blind eye to such trivial matters.
Pay attention, let Liao Yuan handle the details, and don't make the mistake of entrusting others with blind instructions." Lin Xiaoguang smiled.
"Well, okay." Zhong Wenzhang nodded.
"Besides this, is there anything else?"
Zhong Wenzhang thought for a while, recalled it for a long time, and finally shook his head and remained silent.
"Forget it's okay." Lin Xiaoguang was slightly disappointed.
When Ruan Guan saw this, he suddenly burst into laughter. He turned sideways and looked at Lin Xiaoguang, who was unaware of his anger in the back seat. He laughed and said, "Do you really believe it? That's what my brother-in-law said. He was teasing you, but there is something wrong.
And it’s a good thing, a great thing.”
Lin Xiaoguang's eyes widened and he was very interested. He glanced back and forth between the two of them and asked, "What's the good thing?"
Zhong Wenzhang smiled and did not answer. He glanced at Ruan Guan who was eager to give it a try and said, "Ah Wan, it's up to you to say it."
Ruan Guan couldn't wait to say, "That's right, because this advertisement is very well-known and is known to everyone in Southeast Asia. Now a Singaporean retailer has come to our door and wants to cooperate with us and buy our products."
"Really?" Lin Xiaoguang was a little surprised.
"It really can't be true anymore. People from their company are staying in the hotel now." Ruan Guan was a little proud.
At present, Singapore's economy is lagging behind that of Xiangjiang, but its population is large, with more than two million people, which is almost half the size of the Xiangjiang market.
This time the business is concluded and it will be no problem to increase sales by 50%.
The only troublesome thing is that cooked food cannot be transported and must be produced locally and cannot be made by others. Qinhuai Food and Beverage needs to open a Singapore branch, otherwise this income will be cut off.
"What are the specific conditions?" Lin Xiaoguang thought about it and finally asked.
"They just came today and haven't started discussions yet."
Lin Xiaoguang nodded.
At this time, Ruan Guan, who was a little bored, turned on the car radio and fiddled with the radio channels at will. After skipping the slightly boring song "Gong Xi Fa Cai", the host of TVB Jade Channel's news program came to speak.
"Yesterday at nine o'clock in the morning, the Bank of China announced to the outside world that it would restart its deposit-taking business and increase the annual interest rate to 3%. At the same time, Lixin Real Estate, a subsidiary of the Huo family, announced a deposit of 30 million Hong Kong dollars..., before the deadline, according to external reports
According to the announced news, the total deposits of Bank of China have exceeded HK$100 million."
"According to speculation by industry insiders, Bank of China may have insufficient funds..."
