Two days passed in the blink of an eye. During these two days, Xia Zekai had been staying at Jingtong Food Factory, and occasionally went to Ruilin Plastic to see the production of children's toilets there.
Children's toilets are now selling like crazy, so Xia Zekai asked Zhang San to register several more stores on Taobao Mall, and at the same time put on sale different styles of children's toilets, with slight differences in price depending on the materials used and appearance.
This not only gives customers more choices, but also makes users feel that this thing is only at this price.
What followed was a rush of people who had been watching.
Zhang Sanyou noticed that it only took less than 10 days for the sales of children's toilets on Taobao Mall to go from less than 200 units on the first day to more than 1,000 units. After that, the sales volume was still there.
In the process of steady rise.
Zhang San quickly informed Xue Chen and asked him to find a way to urge the boss of Ruilin Plastics, Zheng, to arrange for additional production of children's toilets.
Zheng Ruilin didn't expect that this thing would sell so well. He set a separate line and fully launched the production volume of more than 1,300 units a day, but he was still being rushed.
In addition, the first sandwich biscuit launched by Lu Huan after several studies did not receive very good feedback from the market. Both the sales volume in stores and on Taobao Mall were mediocre.
This result was a big blow to Lu Chen.
He originally wanted to develop a hit product with full confidence. He wanted to let his boss see that he was 'worth the money', and he wanted to prove to his boss that he was not just asking for such a high salary, but that it made sense.
Yes, who would have thought that it would be a bright start?
To this end, he also made a special trip to Xia Zekai to summarize the gains and losses during this period, and also said that he would continue to develop a third product.
"Gong Lu, don't worry, you don't have to eat in a day. I have a suggestion. You can try different fruit flavors." Xia Zekai reminded him.
He said: "Rongdou's popularity does not necessarily mean that its ingredients have been recognized by the market. Using the ingredients of Rongdou to make a sandwich, I think it may conflict with the taste of the biscuit itself, resulting in two different
The mixture of milk flavor does not necessarily produce the effect of 'one plus one is greater than two'."
Lu Chen also discovered this by asking Guo Ying to help him collect feedback from customers in the store and from the comment section of Taobao Mall.
Customers reported that the milk flavor was too strong and a bit fishy, and neither adults nor children liked it.
…
On this day, when Xia Zejiang was busy communicating with clients, his cell phone buzzed and vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was his girlfriend Shen Jiayi calling.
Xia Zejiang was not in a hurry to answer. He finished chatting with the customer who had the chat interface open before he called back to Shen Jiayi.
Shen Jiayi's side was connected instantly, and Xia Zejiang asked her: "Jiayi, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong, Zejiang, school starts in less than two weeks. When are you going to return to Jicheng?" Shen Jiayi said with a little resentment in her tone.
Why was her boyfriend getting busier and busier while working in his brother's factory during the summer vacation? He didn't even have time to call her.
Seeing that school was about to start in more than a week, and there was still no news from her boyfriend, Shen Jiayi couldn't stand it anymore and called him first to ask.
Hearing her talk about the start of school, Xia Zejiang reacted and said, "I forgot, Jiayi, I'll tell my boss right away what day do you plan to go back."
He has been so busy during this period that he really forgot about it.
"It's the weekend the day after tomorrow. How are you doing there?" Shen Jiayi asked him.
Naturally, Xia Zejiang would not object. He said, "I don't have a big problem."
"Then it's settled."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zejiang glanced at Zhang San, thought about it, and went over to find him.
"Brother Zhang, school is about to start. I'm thinking I won't have any rest tomorrow. I'll finish studying together and won't come the day after tomorrow." This is what Xia Zejiang told him.
Zhang San was also quite surprised. He subconsciously asked, "Your summer vacation is almost over? So fast!"
The summer vacation is basically only two months away. Why haven’t I felt that the summer vacation is over?
Xia Zejiang said: "We still have more than a week of vacation, but I have to go back to school in advance to prepare."
"Well, have you told your boss?" Zhang San asked him.
Xia Zejiang shook his head: "I haven't said anything yet. I'll tell him when I get home in the evening."
"Okay, let's do this, Zejiang, you have a smart mind and learn quickly. You will study hard in the future and strive to make a difference after you graduate. Don't be like me." Zhang San said something that spoke to his heart.
.
However, Xia Zejiang was very stimulated by his brother's "land purchase" in the past few days. When he heard the consolation from his leader Zhang San, he still couldn't get excited.
But he still said politely: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely study hard."
"Okay, how about this? Just tell the boss and I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Zhang San said.
Xia Zejiang still refused, but Zhang San said: "There is no one else, just you and me, Li Qianqian and Liang Wenxiao, we have been working together for more than a month, and it is not normal for us to have a meal before leaving."
,right."
After he said so, Xia Zejiang couldn't refuse anymore. Seeing that the van driven by his brother was still parked in the factory, he said to Zhang San: "Brother Zhang, I'll go and tell my brother first."
One sound."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Xia Zekai heard his brother say that summer vacation was coming to an end soon.
His first reaction was similar to Zhang San's, wondering why time passed so fast.
But this is easy to understand. He is busy with endless tasks every day, and all kinds of pressure are on him. He has no time to pay attention to what he did today and what day it is tomorrow.
When you are more focused, you will feel that time passes very quickly.
"Zejiang, when are you leaving?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Xia Zejiang thought for a while and said, "Brother, I will go back the day after tomorrow to clean up, and then go to the hospital to see grandpa."
He already knew from his father Xia Weicheng that his grandfather was hospitalized in Jicheng. It had been more than a week since he had visited him, so he thought he would go and see his grandfather first when he went back this time.
After hearing what his brother said, Xia Zekai was silent for a while and said, "Well, let's do it. I'll see you off the day after tomorrow, and I'll also go to the hospital by the way."
"Brother, no need, I'll just go back by myself!" Xia Zejiang was anxious. He had to go back with his girlfriend. If his brother gave him a gift, what would his girlfriend Shen Jiayi do?
Let her go to the station and take the bus by herself?
Xia Zekai emphasized again: "Isn't she your girlfriend? Tell her and I will send you two to Jicheng the day after tomorrow."
Xia Zejiang: "(⊙_⊙)?"
He was dumbfounded!
He never expected that what his brother meant was this, but looking at his brother's tough look, Xia Zejiang had no way to refute. He thought that he should call his girlfriend quickly to tell him about this 'unexpected incident'
.
"Brother, there's one more thing. Brother Zhang just said that we should have dinner together tonight. I won't go home to eat. You and your sister-in-law don't have to wait for me." When Xia Zejiang was finally about to leave his brother's office,
Talking about this matter.
Xia Zekai nodded: "Go ahead, don't throw up. If you can't walk, remember to call me."
He inadvertently revealed his concern for his younger brother.
Xia Zejiang nodded in response, and after leaving his brother's office, he quickly called Shen Jiayi to tell him about the unexpected change.
After hearing this, Shen Jiayi was silent for a while, and then said: "How about that? I'm still thinking of going to Qicheng to find you, and then we can take the train back together!"
"Why don't you come and let my brother take us there, it'll be fine." Xia Zejiang said through gritted teeth.
"I'll think about it and let you know tomorrow." Shen Jiayi did not agree directly.
In the evening, Xia Zekai told Luo Xiyun that his brother was leaving. He also mentioned that he would send them back at the weekend and then go to the hospital to see his grandfather.
"Zekai, how about I go with you?" Luo Xiyun said.
Xia Zekai refused directly. He said: "There are all kinds of germs in the hospital. What are you going to do? You should just stay at home and look after Yatou and Tongtong. I will be back the same day."
"Okay, remember to leave some more money for Zejiang. When school starts, he has to pay tuition again. Isn't all the money at home used for grandpa's medical treatment?" Luo Xiyun warned him.
"Well, I know!" Xia Zekai responded without saying anything else.
This night, Xia Zejiang still drank too much. It was almost twelve o'clock when he came back, and Xia Zekai had been waiting for him in the living room.
Seeing that his brother's face was as red as a monkey's butt after drinking, he couldn't help but nag: "Zejiang, don't you know if you drink less wine outside in the future, you will feel uncomfortable?"
"Brother, I'm happy. It's true. Brother Zhang treats me well and teaches me a lot. We only drank 6 bottles of beer each, and I can still drink it." Xia Zejiang said, waving his hand.
Xia Zekai smelled the smell of smoke and alcohol on his body and knew that they were going to have a barbecue. He didn't say anything else and asked him to take a shower and go to bed quickly.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend again. After breakfast early in the morning, Xia Zekai helped his brother carry the suitcase down. Xia Zejiang was still upstairs loading the fruits and vacuum-packed meats that his sister-in-law asked him to bring.
"Zejiang, after you go to school, if you don't have enough money, call your brother and ask him to transfer some money to you." Luo Xiyun warned him.
Xia Zejiang nodded with a 'hmm': "Sister-in-law, it's okay. I'll be a tutor when I have time when I go back and give extra lessons to the students. I can make money for my living expenses by eating and drinking."
"You have a girlfriend, and the expenses are high. Girls want to be romantic. Xiao Shen is a good girl, so don't be too frugal, you know." Luo Xiyun said this.
Listening to what his sister-in-law said, Xia Zejiang felt happy and moved at the same time.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. If you are really short of money, I will definitely call my brother."
