Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

After counting the money, the staff gave the villager a receipt and announced loudly: "Next, please don't cut in line, line up in order!"

No one was willing to listen. It was estimated that the number of people queuing was no less than fifty. Even if there were a hundred cars on the field, the demand could not meet the supply. Everyone was afraid that they would miss the chance and the cars would be sold out by the time it was their turn.

Following closely was the representative from Dagou Village. Unlike other villages where most of the representatives were elders, Dagou Village sent a young man.

The young man walked briskly and quickly came to the staff, took out a large stack of cash and slammed it on the table, raised his head and said, "I'm from Dagou Village, I want three!"

Upon hearing this, the people behind him immediately expressed their dissatisfaction: "Young man, you want so much, what will happen to the rest of the village?"

The young man turned back impatiently and said, "I have a way to squeeze in front, buy as many as you want!" Someone in the crowd also pleaded, "Young man, buy one less and leave some room for everyone!"

But the young man was not moved at all. After paying the money and taking the receipt, he went straight to pick up the car. The secretary of Dagou Village behind him was so happy that he could hardly open his eyes.

Those who successfully bought the vehicles were all smiling. Before the 50th customer arrived, the staff had to remind them loudly: "Fellow villagers, I'm sorry, all agricultural tricycles have been sold out. I hope you will wait patiently for the next batch!"

Although the tricycles had been sold out, there were still no less than thirty people queuing up. After hearing the news that they were sold out, there were waves of complaints and curses from the crowd.

However, the staff were powerless and the supplies were limited, so they could only supply them in the order of arrival. Those villagers who did not raise their demands earlier could only consider themselves unlucky.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Chuan nodded with satisfaction.

The R&D cost of this agricultural tricycle is almost negligible, and the production cost is also very low, with each vehicle costing no more than three hundred yuan.

Moreover, this time, direct sales were adopted, and the net profit of each tricycle reached 700 yuan. In just one day, Ye Chuan earned a cash flow of up to 70 yuan.

It’s a pity that the factory’s production capacity is limited, with daily output not exceeding 50 vehicles, far from meeting market demand.

In this era, even selling tea eggs or melon seeds can make people earn ten thousand yuan per person, not to mention core enterprises like Huade Group, whose products are always in short supply in the market.

Electronic watches have been on the market for five years and their popularity remains unabated, but the limited daily sales in Beijing are sold out before the end of the working day, and there is no stock left for the next day.

The same scene was repeated in more than 20 cities across the country. Those who bought the products were filled with joy, while those who did not were filled with sorrow.

Human nature is like this, when no one has something, you won't feel too unbalanced. But when others have it and you don't, you will instantly feel unhappy.

In particular, villages are closely connected. Some villages can transport agricultural products to the city for sale as soon as possible, while other villages without tricycles can only transport them slowly with carts.

Many forward-looking people also discovered the business opportunities. In the few days after the tricycle exhibition, the phone of Huade Agricultural Vehicle Factory was almost overwhelmed with orders.

These people all hoped to purchase the tricycles, even at a higher price. However, to their disappointment, the other party's answer was that they were all sold out.

Moreover, Huade Group does not agree to hand over its products to a third party for management. In addition to the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores in major cities, the group has established a complete sales network.

Xia Zhongyuan not only expanded the market, but also used the funds provided by Ye Chuan to set up direct sales points in various places and hired local personnel for unified training to serve the group.

In cities where no sales outlets have been set up, supply and marketing cooperatives will be responsible for sales. After five years of cooperation in electronic watches, the relationship between supply and marketing cooperatives and Huade Group has become increasingly close. In their eyes, Huade products must be high-quality!

After 1985, both the R&D center and the production workshops became busy.

First, the R&D center upgraded the refrigerators. The launch of the three-door refrigerators directly changed the entire industry. The sales of Huade Refrigerator Factory soared, far ahead of other manufacturers.

Soon after, the fully automatic camera was also improved for the Western market. The bulky body was changed to a lightweight design. Although the functions did not change much, it was more attractive to consumers.

Louis's vision was indeed unique. He increased the export volume of this camera, which caused a sensation as soon as it entered the ** and European markets.

Seeing such good sales, Ye Chuan launched version 2.0, designing a variety of colors including white, pink, blue, etc., attracting many female consumers.

This small change brought huge profits to Huade Group, and the large amount of foreign exchange inflow made Mr. Xu and Mr. Song very happy.

Chen Feiming also benefited a lot from the success of Huade Group. Not only was he commended by his superiors, he was also promoted and took a solid step forward.

Ye Chuan plans to use his automatic camera strategy again, this time to add color and some small functions to the digital watch, which he believes will attract a group of loyal fans.

The success of Huade Group inspired many people to realize the importance of the development of the real industry. Therefore, a large number of business explorers emerged in the technical departments of many state-owned factories, and new enterprises were registered and established in relevant departments.

In recent years, small vendors who accumulated initial capital by setting up stalls have also begun to try to transform themselves. Some have opened restaurants, and some have entered the industrial sector.

However, these people started late and were destined to get some leftovers after the Huade Group.

While investigating the market, Ye Chuan accidentally met an old neighbor whom he hadn't seen for twenty years.

Strictly speaking, this "old neighbor" is actually more like the old neighbor in Ye Chuan's heart.

Due to his intervention, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao did not get married. Perhaps she did not know him at all, but in his memory of his previous life, he was very familiar with this woman with a tragic fate.

That’s right, Ye Chuan saw Lou Xiaoe in front of the department store.

"Sister Lou!"

Lou Xiao'e looked back and found a somewhat familiar face, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

The young man looked to be in his twenties and had a handsome appearance, but she had been away from the inland area for twenty years. How could she recognize such a young man?

"you are?"

Ye Chuan walked up to Lou Xiao'e with a smile and said, "Sister Lou, I'm from the courtyard house at No. 95 Luoguxiang. We met more than years ago, when you and Xu Damao were still dating."

Lou Xiao'e slapped her head. The shadow of the person in front of her overlapped with the shadow of a young man from twenty years ago.

"You...your last name is Ye, right?"

"Sister Lou has a really good memory. I'm Ye Chuan."

Lou Xiao'e asked doubtfully, "But...how old are you this year?"

The face of the man in front of her was both familiar and unfamiliar. If her memory served her correctly, he seemed to have not changed at all in the past twenty years.

"Sister Lou, I'm already 45 years old."

Lou Xiao'e was shocked, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Ye...Ye Chuan, you said you are 45 years old? But you look like you are 25. Tell me, how do you maintain your looks?"

"I am a grown man, how can I know how to take care of myself? Maybe it's because my skin is more tender, so I look younger."

Lou Xiao'e was amazed. Over the years, she had spent a lot of money on skin care and used countless high-end cosmetics. It was only in the past few years that she had seen some improvement by using the nutrient solution from Tino Cosmetics Company.

As a result, the young man in front of me can achieve the effect thousands of times better than what I spent a lot of money on just by virtue of his "tender skin". It's really hard to accept!

"Xiao Ye, if I hadn't seen you more than 45 years ago, I would have thought you were lying! No matter how I look at you, you don't look like a -year-old."

Ye Chuan changed the subject and said, "Sister Lou, I heard that your family moved to **, why did you come back?"

There is no such person as He Xiao in this world, so he thought that Lou Xiao'e would never come back. He didn't expect that the wheel of fate was so unpredictable.

This time the other party was brought back to the capital.

"China has implemented reform and opening up, and I have made some money in Hong Kong Island. I want to come back and see if there are any opportunities for development. Xiaoye, what are you busy with now?"

"I started doing business a few years ago. Now I run a small business and make a little money." Ye Chuan answered modestly.

Lou Xiao'e showed an approving smile on her face. It really takes a lot of courage to give up a stable job to start a business, especially when the background was not clear at the time. It can be seen that this young man is flexible and courageous.

"Xiao Ye, I just came back and I'm not familiar with the situation here. I'll treat you to lunch at noon. You can introduce the situation here to me. If there is a chance, we may be able to cooperate!"

Lou Xiao'e's words had the flavor of advising an old friend, and she treated herself as a successful businessman. Because she thought you had known each other before, she was willing to give you some more guidance.

Ye Chuan nodded in agreement, then followed her while chatting.

When they arrived at the destination, they found out that Lou Xiao'e was staying at the Capital Hotel, the high-end foreign-related hotel where Li Huikuizi had once stayed.

The Capital Hotel is the top hotel in the city. Most people who are rich or have status will choose to stay here.

As a former capitalist, Lou Xiao'e made a lot of money in **, so it was natural for her to choose to stay here.

The two came to the restaurant and ordered a large table of dishes.

Lou Xiao'e originally thought that Ye Chuan would be surprised by these delicious dishes and that he would eat them with relish.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chuan did not show any surprise at all. He just tasted each dish briefly, as if these expensive dishes were commonplace to him.

"Xiao Ye, what business are you in now?"

"They are all small businesses. But what are you planning to do when you return to Beijing this time, Sister Lou?"

Lou Xiao'e tidied her hair and said, "My family is mainly engaged in the hotel and clothing industry in **. This time I came back to invest in a five-star hotel."

Seeing that Ye Chuan didn't seem to have a specific idea of ​​what a five-star hotel was, she added, "A few days ago, a new five-star hotel opened in Yangcheng, which was invested by ** people. The decoration there is extremely luxurious, far beyond the Beijing Hotel, but the investment cost is very high, and it is indeed a bit difficult for one person to run it."
