Chapter 130 Planning for the future development of Lao Lu
Gu Xianming drove very steadily, and Lu Yang didn't feel the slightest discomfort.
He took the initiative to ask about Gu Xiaowan's life at school, and occasionally expressed some concern for Lu Yang.
I did not forget to tell them that they should study hard while in college and strive to be admitted to graduate school.
Lu Yang always felt that Gu Xianming was connoting himself, but unfortunately he had no evidence.
It was more than 500 kilometers from the provincial capital to Mingjiang, and it was already past one in the afternoon when they arrived at Mingjiang.
Originally, Lu Yang wanted to treat Gu Xianming to a meal in the service area. After all, he could use his car for free.
Gu Xianming said that the meal had been prepared at home and he should go back to eat.
Lu Yang saw that Lao Gu didn't seem to be polite, so he didn't insist.
Gu Xianming sent Lu Yang home first, and then drove Gu Xiaowan away.
When they parted, Lu Yang saw Gu Xiaowan's pitiful eyes.
He knew that Gu Xiaowan had been holding it back all along the way, and there were many things they couldn't say in front of their parents.
Lu Yang whistled, turned around and knocked on his door.
No one responded!
He knocked again, but still no one.
Lu Yang had no choice but to take out his cell phone and call his mother.
His mother told him that it was at his grandparents' place.
"You kid, why don't you know how to say hello when you come back? You always make surprise attacks."
"Mom, it's okay, it's okay. You go ahead and go ahead. I won't go there. I've had dinner and will go to a classmate's house to play."
Lu Yang said a few words to Shen Lijuan and then hung up the phone.
He squatted down and dug out the spare key to his home from the sand of the shrine, then unscrewed the door.
This key was put in by my mother. She was always careless and lost the key in the past.
Sometimes when I come back from visiting relatives and friends, I find that I have lost my key. At that time, locksmith companies were not popular yet. When Lao Lu was away in Mingjiang, I was in a hurry.
Later, Lao Lu gave her a note and put a key in the sand of the incense burner for emergency use, because normally no one would dig here.
After Lu Yang entered the house, he casually threw his backpack aside and took out a bottle of Sprite from the refrigerator.
He put these bottles of Sprite in during the summer vacation.
It's been a month, and neither of us has had a drink.
Lu Yang took a shower at home and had nothing to do. He picked up his bicycle keys and went to the factory to find Lao Lu.
He found that there were still changes in Mingjiang, for example, the road leading to the suburbs had begun to widen.
Maybe within a year, a two-way six-lane main road will be formed from here.
Their factory is right next to the highway.
Well, then we can pat our chests and say: My family has dozens of acres of land in the center of the economic development zone.
When Lu Yang came to the factory, it looked busier than during the summer vacation.
Thanks to the launch of the second generation MP3, the operating speed and body quality have made a qualitative leap, and sales have also been steadily improving.
Although Lu Yang was studying in college in the provincial capital, Lao Lu would call Lu Yang every few days to talk about things in the factory.
Lu Yang came here today to plan the future development for Lao Lu.
By the third generation of MP3, we can no longer play like this. Instead, we should have our own independent brands and trademarks, and start corporate and market-oriented operations.
The gatekeeper, Uncle Feng, didn't recognize Lu Yang at first, but he didn't realize it until Lu Yang introduced himself.
"The son of the old Lu family."
"I heard from your dad that he has been admitted to college. Are you back from vacation?"
"Yes, Uncle Feng, your body is still so strong."
Lu Yang smiled and chatted with Uncle Feng for a few words before entering the factory.
The roar of machines was constantly heard in the workshop, and there were scenes of workers coming in and out.
Lu Yang came to the office and saw through the window that Lao Lu was calculating accounts with a calculator, and there were documents in his hands.
Alas, it’s a pity that Lao Lu doesn’t know how to use a computer, so this manual reconciliation method will be eliminated in the future.
Lu Yang opened the door and came in.
Lu Jianjun saw Lu Yang stunned for a moment, with surprise in his eyes.
"When did you come back?"
"Just came back."
"School is on holiday?"
"Yes, Dad, haven't you ever thought about my coming back? Why don't you call my mother? She still dislikes me."
Lu Jianjun chuckled: "You didn't even say hello to us when you came back."
He quietly looked at his son. He was a little darker and a little thinner. It seemed that the food at school was not as good as the food at home.
Lu Yang came to Lao Lu's desk and picked up those documents. They were all for goods sent to agents, and then used the documents to settle the bill. This method was really a bit backward.
Lu Jianjun reminded: "Don't mess it up for me, it's not easy to separate it."
Lu Yang: "Dad, how are the sales of our second-generation MP3 player?"
Lu Jianjun lit a cigarette: "It's very good. Compared with the first generation MP3, sales have increased by 40%. Many agents said that customer feedback has been good."
Lu Yang said: "Next, it's time to register your own brand. If you keep selling like this, the road ahead will be too narrow."
Lu Jianjun was a little puzzled: "I think our Soxin brand is pretty good."
Lu Yang was speechless. This kind of brand is called a copycat brand, just like Blue Moon and Blue Moon Shell, Pulse and Pulse, Niulan Mountain and Wulan Mountain...
If MP3 players want to stand out in the future, they need to have their own independent brands rather than copycat brands.
Lu Yang explained what he knew to Lu Jianjun.
Lao Lu asked: "What's that name?"
Lu Yang thought of the later Apple, BlackBerry, Xiaomi, Smartisan, etc., and said: "Let's call it Nuts. This one should not be registered as a technology company."
Lu Jianjun stared: "Nuts?"
Lu Yang: "Yes, from now on our company will be called Nut Technology Company, and our products will be the second and third generations of Nut MP3, and the future will be Nut mobile phones..."
Lu Jianjun carefully recalled Nut Technology.
Don't tell me, it sounds a bit awkward at first, but later it sounds okay.
Lu Yang asked Lao Lu to register the company's brand and trademark as soon as possible. When the third generation MP3 is released, he is ready to assist Lao Lu in market operation.
Lu Jianjun now firmly believes in Lu Yang's words. Even the news is saying that college students' entrepreneurship wave is on the rise and that the future era will be the era of the post-80s generation.
Lu Yang said: "After I return to school, I will help you register an e-commerce platform. In the future, our products can be sold simultaneously on the e-commerce platform."
Lu Jianjun has no idea about e-commerce.
Lu Yang then explained to him the birth of Alibaba and Taobao, including their business model and operating model.
Lu Jianjun was confused after hearing this. He always felt that these were too advanced. Besides, this kind of MP3 machine is a bit sophisticated. Can it be relied on for logistics and transportation?
Lu Yang thought of the post he made on WeChat Moments later: Don’t be afraid of teaching your parents how to use a mobile phone. They once patiently taught you how to use chopsticks.
Meng Xiaopeng commented to him: 30 years ago, my parents taught me to use chopsticks, but I couldn’t learn, so they beat me; 30 years later, my parents asked me to teach them how to use a smartphone, but they couldn’t learn, and they still beat me.
Lu Yang patiently explained to Lao Lu the future development trend of the technology industry.
Lu Jianjun finally understood.
When deputy director Wang Pengfei came in, Lao Lu sighed to Wang Pengfei: "From now on, it will be your college students' world. We will eventually be eliminated by the times."
He plans to hand over the e-commerce platform to Wang Pengfei.
Lu Yang knew that Wang Pengfei had graduated with a bachelor's degree, but it was just an ordinary one.
Lao Wang has also been following Lu Jianjun for many years, from graduating from college to becoming the deputy factory director.
All the colleagues or classmates that Wang Pengfei knew had already changed jobs to other factories or companies, but he was the only one who never left Lao Lu's factory.
Because Lao Lu's personality attracted him, eight years ago, Wang Pengfei's father was seriously ill and needed surgery money. He borrowed money from relatives and friends around him, and finally borrowed a few hundred yuan.
When he fell into despair, it was Lu Jianjun who gave him hope and lent him 30,000 yuan free of charge.
Since then, Wang Pengfei has been following Lu Jianjun and treating Lao Lu as an elder brother.
Now Wang Pengfei has become a greasy uncle...
In the evening, Lu Jianjun invited Wang Pengfei to have a drink in the factory.
He asked Lu Yang to go to the nearby village canteen to order pork head meat and peanuts.
Lu Yang was speechless about this. He knew that Lao Lu was addicted to alcohol. His mother usually kept a strict control, so Lao Lu always used to drink secretly in the factory.
Today this friend comes to the factory, tomorrow that brother comes to the factory, and we have to get together every three days.
Most of them are fair-weather friends who can handle small things but can't be relied on for big things.
When Shen Lijuan called Lu Yang, Lu Yang told her that he was having dinner in the factory and would go back with Lao Lu in the evening.
Shen Lijuan felt relieved and told him to remember to go back early.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to drink, Lu Yang told Wang Pengfei about setting up an e-commerce platform.
Wang Pengfei said there was no problem and he would cooperate with Lu Yang...
