The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.
Zhang Yida embarked on the journey back to his hometown in Chengdu, and his mother Xia Xiaorong called many times to urge him.
There was nothing he could do no matter how much he urged, the company still had a lot of things that needed Zhang Yida to deal with. It was not until the 29th day of the New Year that the company started to have a holiday, and Zhang Yida could finally breathe a sigh of relief, relieve himself of all the work, and go home to celebrate the New Year in peace.
!
At the airport, they said goodbye to Zhao Erya and Zhang Yida got on the passenger plane from Beijing to Chengdu and returned to Chengdu alone.
Ding Siyao is still working overtime at Yimin Company. She is accompanying her colleagues at Yimin Dai who are doing various tests on the company's risk control system before it is finally launched.
Ding Siyao's cell phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message from Zhang Yida. The content was:
"Are you really not going home for the New Year? In fact, there is no need to be so anxious about work. I am a major shareholder and I am not anxious. Why are you, a small shareholder, anxious? Listen to me and go home for the New Year! Spend time with your parents and family.
You are a girl, staying alone in the capital to celebrate the New Year, and working overtime. As a capitalist, I am exploiting you, which makes you feel a little uneasy!"
Ding Siyao felt warm in her heart, smiled, and typed a reply:
"No need! I'm having a good time in the capital. Success in my career is my biggest desire at the moment. Say hello to my uncle and aunt for me."
As soon as Zhang Yida got off the plane, his father Zhang Qinghua picked him up. After putting his luggage and getting in the car, he saw a WeChat message from Ding Siyao on his phone.
She shook her head and said with emotion, what a strong career woman! She seemed to have seen Ding Siyao's future. She replied, "Then take care of yourself! When you want to go home, you can go back!"
Ding Siyao replied "Well, thank you!" Then she put away her phone and continued working with Yimindai's technical staff.
After Zhang Yida got home, he first opened his suitcase and took out a silk scarf and a watch.
These were all gifts he and Zhao Erya carefully selected for his parents when he went to the mall before leaving the capital. The silk scarf cost more than 7,000 yuan, and the more expensive watch cost more than 60,000 yuan.
Xia Xiaorong saw the Hermès silk scarf her son bought for her. It was colorful and had classic and delicate patterns. She fell in love with it at first sight, but she pretended to be angry and told him not to spend money recklessly in the future, as her mother didn’t lack anything.
Zhang Yida smiled. Although his family's conditions were not bad, his parents were frugal people and never bought luxuries.
As for the Longines mechanical watch given to his father, Zhang Qinghua was amazed as soon as he opened the box and picked up the watch to appreciate it carefully.
Looking at the shiny stainless steel case, the blue steel hands running elegantly on the milky white dial, and the blue steel Arabic numeral time scales, Zhang Qinghua's eyes were immediately attracted. He even praised his son for his discernment. This watch is good.
He accepted it with a smile.
Xia Xiaorong was afraid that her son was hungry, so she hurriedly greeted him to eat.
“Stir-fried duck with green pepper”
“Cold Chicken”
"Couple's Femoral Slices"
“Ma Po Tofu”
“Fried Crispy Pork”
…
Zhang Yida looked at the dishes on the table that were delicious, delicious, and flattered him repeatedly:
"Mom, your craftsmanship is better!"
"It smells so good. Mom's cooking is delicious."
Seeing her son devouring his food, Xia Xiaorong felt a little distressed. He must not be used to the food there in the capital!
While picking up food for Zhang Yida, he said with concern:
"Eat slowly, don't choke!"
After Zhang Qinghua picked up the Wuliangye on the table and poured himself a glass, he looked up at Zhang Yida and asked with a smile: "Son, do you want some too?"
Just when Zhang Yida was about to speak, his mother Xia Xiaorong scolded him first: "How old is your son? Why should he drink liquor? Being drunk will harm your health! Let him drink it when he is older!"
Zhang Qinghua was a little afraid of his wife. After being scolded, he ate his food and stopped talking.
Zhang Yida looked a little funny, and said to his father: "Mom, it's okay, I'm an adult, not a child! I can't get drunk. I can drink at least seven or eight liang of alcohol without any problem. Dad is the only one.
People are bored when they drink, and I'm not at home usually, so let me drink with him!"
Seeing what Zhang Yida said sincerely, her husband also looked at her expectantly. Xia Xiaorong also softened her heart and said: "Okay! You can drink a little, but you can only drink one glass at most. Don't get drunk."
Zhang Yida chuckled, took the wine bottle handed over by his father, poured himself a full glass, and then happily clinked glasses with his father and started drinking.
Xia Xiaorong saw that her son was skillful in pouring wine, and his expression remained calm even after a few sips of wine. She was a little suspicious of whether he drank often in the capital. She began to persuade her earnestly:
"You have now opened a company in Beijing and started your own business. When you have business dealings with clients, you cannot avoid socializing, but you should drink less alcohol. Drinking too much will harm your health. Look at your uncle.
He was very drunk every day, and I got angry when I saw him.
If you go to his house during the Spring Festival, don’t drink with him!"
Zhang Yida knew that his mother said so much for his own good, so he was not bored and nodded with a smile.
As for his old uncle, let's not talk about it. He was drunk because he was really not drinking well. He cried and made trouble and even jumped off a building.
I witnessed this with my own eyes when I was a child. Fortunately, the floor is not high, and the jump was only three or four meters away. Apart from a broken leg, there were no serious injuries. As for the reason for jumping off the building, it seemed that I was drunk and had an argument with a relative.
He jumped off the building to express his ambition.
However, both Zhang Yida and his father Zhang Qinghua drink very good wine, and they will not drink like crazy when they get drunk, but will just sleep peacefully.
After drinking for three rounds, he ate most of the food on the table, most of which were eaten by Zhang Yida. He had a much better appetite than usual for the food cooked by his mother.
Xia Xiaorong cleared the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Zhang Qinghua and Zhang Yida and his son were sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and watching TV.
After Zhang Qinghua took out a cigarette and lit it, he looked at Zhang Yida, threw the cigarette case on the table, and said, "If you want to smoke, take it yourself!"
Zhang Yida pretended not to understand and stood there in a daze. Zhang Qinghua couldn't stand it anymore and frowned: "Stop pretending, I've noticed your little tricks a long time ago, but I didn't report it to your mother. How dare you, a manly man?"
You can’t do it right!”
Zhang Yida said sarcastically: "You know everything?"
Zhang Qinghua flicked the ash into the ashtray, glanced at Zhang Yida and said, "I already knew what you were doing hiding in the toilet!"
Zhang Yida felt a little guilty. He probably hid in the toilet every time to smoke, and the smell of smoke still lingered in the air after he finished smoking, so his father discovered it.
Forget it, I was discovered, so I stopped pretending. I picked up the Chinese food on the table, took it out and lit it myself.
Zhang Qinghua asked: "How much do you smoke every day?"
Zhang Yida replied honestly: "Half a bag!"
Zhang Qinghua did not continue to ask this topic, and started to ask about the company. "How is your Ruixiang Technology Company doing this year?" Zhang Qinghua took a puff of cigarette, then looked at his son and asked.
"In 2013, the revenue was more than 200 million yuan and the profit was more than 40 million yuan. We need to invest too much money in advertising and promotion in the early stage, otherwise we will have at least a net profit of more than 100 million yuan." Zhang Yida said calmly.
Although Zhang Qinghua already knew that his son's company was developing well, he did not expect such high revenue and profits. As for valuation, he generally doesn't believe in it. It is all false before it is listed, and it will also have ups and downs after it is listed.
.
For people of his generation, the most important company financial data are net assets, operating income, and net profit.
Zhang Qinghua put out the cigarette butt, took a sip of tea, and then asked: "Dogfud Company?"
Zhang Yida was afraid that his mother would find him smoking when she came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, so he took a big puff of the Zhonghua on his hand, and then extinguished it in the ashtray. After blowing out a smoke ring, he replied:
"It's still like that for Dogfud! The profit is more than one million yuan every month. After the year, I will have a new direction."
Zhang Qinghua nodded and said no more.
Zhang Yida also asked about the situation of Xingnong Feed Factory and Chongaishengshi Dog Food Factory.
"Xingnong Feed Factory will remain the same! This year's net profit will be about 13 million. Next year, we will maintain the status quo, neither expand the scale nor reduce production.
The pet food factory started late, and it has only been in operation for three months. It has sold more than 2,000 tons of feed, with a revenue of more than 17 million, a gross profit of more than 12 million, equipment depreciation of 2 million, and water, electricity and rent of more than 900,000.
, Bailaihao employees received a salary of RMB 1.5 million, and the net profit after tax was almost RMB 5.6 million!
Judging from the current sales volume, we should be able to make a profit of over RMB 20 million in 2014, which will be able to recover the cost of opening the factory. The profit is much higher than that of pig feed."
Zhang Yida made some estimates, and his father's estimate of next year's sales volume and output value is a bit conservative.
I am confident that I can sell him more than 10,000 tons online, plus several thousand tons offline. The sales of dog food will at least double next year, and the net profit should be 40 to 50 million!
However, Zhang Yida did not refute. He will give his father a big surprise next year! He probably won’t believe it now.
In fact, this is also the case. For online sales channels, Zhang Qinghua thinks that he can sell two to three hundred tons per month, and he is very satisfied if he sells more than 3,000 meals a year.
At present, the company's main sales channels still come from the southern provinces, especially the dealer channels around Chengdu.
After his mother came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, Zhang Yida chatted with his parents for a while.
Zhang Qinghua, Xia Xiaorong and his wife asked Zhang Yida about his studies at school, fearing that starting his own business would delay his studies and lead to embarrassment if he did not get a diploma in the future.
Zhang Yida told them that they had communicated with the school leaders and that he had not fallen behind in his usual studies. He often read and studied in the company. The results of the final exams were also out and they all passed. It is not a big problem to get a diploma.
.
Although Zhang Qinghua and his wife wanted to persuade Zhang Yida to focus on his studies, considering that his son has already started a business, the company is bigger than the feed factory that the couple has been running for 20 years. Moreover, he did not fail the exam, so they did not give up.
I mentioned this matter. When my son is older and has his own ideas, parents should just let him go! This is their truest idea.
After Zhang Yida washed himself, he went to bed and lay down.
First, I had a phone call with Zhao Erya and chatted for more than half an hour. Then I checked the WeChat messages and confirmed that nothing was wrong. I felt a little sleepy, so I turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The next day, Zhang Yida got up early and posted couplets with his father.
When I was a child, my father stood on the stool and posted couplets, while Zhang Yida held the stool.
Now it's the other way around, with dad holding the stool and Zhang Yida standing on the stool posting couplets.
After Zhang Yida posted the couplets while standing on the stool, when he lowered his head, he saw that his father's head was already covered with twos and threes of silver threads. He couldn't help but sigh that his father had really become a father.
But everyone gets older at some point, Zhang Yida felt sad for a while and then passed.
Start your own business, don't take the wrong path, and don't let your parents worry about you. This is the best filial piety to them. Zhang Yida thought silently in his heart.
