Life seemed to be back on track again, everyone got up early in the morning, made breakfast and had breakfast.
Tietou and Duoduo were older, so they took Ranran and Yangyang to school with them.
The four elderly people take care of the two younger ones.
Xiaoxin and Xiao Chong can already eat on their own, but it's a little slow. Most of the time, they are fed by their grandma and grandma.
As the children grow older, the burdens on the shoulders of the elderly become lighter.
After eating, the old people took their children for a walk in the park, and then went to the market to buy vegetables.
Xue Ling is still commuting to and from get off work, busy in and out.
Cheng Tianyuan continues to wholesale paper towels, toilet paper and facial tissues, and his business has been very stable and good.
Day after day, the days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.
Xue Ling and Xue Heng's garment factories had fewer and fewer orders. In the end, they had to cut off the two large factories that were helping outside and leave the orders to themselves.
Even so, the two factories are only just saturated and not as popular as before.
Xue Heng explained: "As far as I know, in the suburbs of the imperial capital and nearby cities, more than 20 clothing factories specializing in jeans have popped up in the past two years alone. There are too many factories now, and competition is naturally fierce.
.”
This is the result of market choice, and Xue Ling has always been calm.
"It's okay. Take it easy after you're done and let's see if we want to do something else."
Xue Heng couldn't help laughing and said: "Your company seems to be very popular! It sells a lot of video tapes recently, right? When I drove by last time, I saw two cars buying goods."
Xue Ling nodded: "It's good. Buy the copyright for someone, then copy it, and then sell it to wholesalers or retailers."
"What is Brother Sheng doing at your place?" Xue Heng asked, "I heard he is in charge of the accounts?"
"No." Xue Ling explained: "At first, Brother Sheng did some light physical work. Because his health was not very good, the third uncle asked him to do some light physical work. Later, an accountant left, and I asked him to do some light physical work.
He helped fill in. When he had time, he packed audio and video tapes, and did accounting the rest of the time."
Xue Heng couldn't help but ask: "You made a lot of money, right? That thing is just expensive when you buy the copyright..."
"Don't mention it." Xue Ling sighed: "Xiao Liu, who helps me manage the company, is a little aggressive, and he has some tricks up his sleeve when it comes to buying copyrights recently. Not only that, but he also made a batch of... not very healthy video tapes for sale.
I’m so angry that my head hurts!”
Xue Heng couldn't help laughing when he heard this and asked: "What is this? A sexy girl?"
"Some are more." Xue Ling rolled her eyes and explained: "I had a quarrel with her. I guess she might want to withdraw her shares. I gave her 10% of the shares at the beginning, and she has made a lot of money in the past two years. She has strong wings.
I guess I won’t be able to keep her anymore.”
Liu Xincheng is a very independent girl, but she is also overconfident.
At present, copyright is not strictly enforced in China, and it is even a blind spot in the law. Even many unhealthy pornographic films cannot be controlled for the time being.
She believes that films in this area are selling well and she can take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money.
But Xue Ling is different. The premise for her to make money is not to break the law, violate any rules or violate moral laws.
Liu Xincheng could not persuade Xue Ling, but she had few shares and could not make the final decision of the company, so she was angry and helpless. She always said that Xue Ling was missing a big opportunity to make money.
Xue Ling believes that DVDs have already appeared on the market, and we should focus our energy and money on upgrading products instead of taking advantage of legal loopholes to make money.
Because of this, the two had their biggest disagreement since they started working together, and they had quarreled several times recently.
Xue Heng asked curiously: "10% share? Then if she leaves..."
"I guess she will leave after the dividends are distributed at the end of the year." Xue Ling said with squinted eyes: "We don't seek each other if we have different paths. Meeting is fate, and being separated is also fate. I can see clearly. I just hope she won't be too impatient in the future.
Gong Jinche did something illegal, so I can take care of it. If she leaves, I will have to find a capable person to help me look after the company. Although the main factory is not that busy, I can't do both ends of the road by myself.
I’m afraid I’ll focus on one thing and lose the other.”
Xue Heng thought for a while and said: "This is a bit difficult."
Xue Ling shook his head: "It's okay, I'll look for it slowly for the time being. I've asked cousin Asheng to help me find a suitable person. He has been in the imperial capital for so many years and has some connections. I hope to find him as soon as possible."
Xue Heng asked again: "Um - the little girl Shan You seems to be recording some program recently, right? I met her at the elevator entrance a while ago. She is much taller and more beautiful. Her mother said that she is recording a singing program now
.”
"It has been recorded long ago." Xue Ling explained: "It is a New Year's greeting song at the end of the year. After recording and cutting it, it has been sold in the market. My company is too small and I produce too few things, so I don't make enough money.
If you buy the copyright and sell it, there will be too many pirated copies on the market, and the price will be too high, and wholesalers will not like to buy from you. Income has dropped sharply in the past few months, and this is also the reason."
Xue Heng frowned and said: "There are all kinds of audio tapes and video tapes on the market. They have everything. Who knows which ones are pirated and which ones are not. Most people buy the cheap ones."
"Piracy is cheap!" Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "So I have to find ways to increase profits..."
Xue Heng asked: "How to improve? What kind of DVD can I get?"
Xue Ling nodded: "Not only do we need DVDs, we also need VCDs. Now that there are so many TVs, everyone's living standards have improved, and there will be more and more spiritual pursuits. I heard that City X in the south already has such technology.
I plan to invest some money to introduce technology and do something new."
We can't beat piracy for now, we can only win technically.
Xue Heng couldn't help but advise: "If Liu Xincheng leaves after paying dividends, there will be less management, so you still have to invest? Don't sink too deep in one moment, and you will lose money if you can't pull it out."
"Let's take a loss." Xue Ling said: "Uncle Zheng is building a villa over there, and I have hired a designer here to build a building. The current company is an ordinary factory building, which covers a large area and is not suitable for it."
Xue Heng was stunned when he heard this!
He advised her not to do too much, but she turned around and wanted to invest in new technologies and invest in the building - it was more than just a little investment!
Xue Ling narrowed her eyes and made calculations: "The building will be built with twenty-eight floors, part of the floors will be rented out, and the rest will be used as an entertainment company. The original company was named after Xiao Liu. If she leaves, there will be no need to use it."
Xue Heng couldn't help but ask: "Entertainment company? Just sell VCDs?"
"More than that." Xue Ling explained: "I guess I will also invest in some movies. I will first go and observe how others do it, and then come back to plan to imitate it."
Xue Heng: "..."!!!
As soon as the winter vacation came, four old people took their four children and went south.
This time they did not go to the South Island, but to another coastal city.
The house was empty, except for Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan, who were eating hot pot.
The weather was cold, and the cooked food would get cold quickly, so the two simply arranged to eat hot pot.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.
Cheng Tianyuan stood up and opened the door - it was Xue Zhilan and Chen.
"Uncle, aunt, come in quickly!"
Xue Zhilan and Mrs. Chen hurriedly entered the house and took off their coats and boots.
Xue Ling put his head in and asked: "Uncle, aunt, have you had dinner? We are eating, come over and get a share."
Both of them shook their heads and explained with a smile: "A colleague got married and we went over to celebrate. After drinking the wedding wine, we went to visit the third brother and had dinner with him before we came back."
