Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

Cao Liang smiled and said, "This is just the beginning, business will be even better in the future."

"So I thought, let Monkey hire two more people, otherwise he will be too busy."

Meng Xiaoxing's eyes suddenly lit up, "Why waste that money? Jingru and I can go and help. We just happen to have nothing to do."

Chen Huilan is almost entirely responsible for cooking and taking care of the children at home.

Meng Xiaoxing only needs to help wash clothes at home every day and she has no time to spare.

Some time ago, she asked Cao Liang to help her find a job!

Tuanzi is over three years old now, so it’s okay as long as Chen Huilan is looking after him. Besides, it’s summer vacation now, and Dabao and the others are there to take him out to play.

Cao Liang reminded him, "You can go if you want, but the store is very busy."

"It's okay. I have nothing to do at home. I'd better keep busy."

Meng Xiaoxing said.

"Alright! If you want to go, go ahead!"

Seeing her like this, Cao Liang stopped persuading her. It would be good to give her something to do, otherwise she would always say she wanted to go out to work.

Seeing Cao Liang agreed, Meng Xiaoxing said happily: "Hey, I'll go tell Jingru now."

After saying that, he hurried out the door.

...

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, the store's business has been booming, and the goods are almost always sold out within two hours.

Fortunately, Meng Xiaoxing and Qin Jingru joined in, otherwise Wang Dong and Monkey would have been exhausted to death.

At this time, Cao Liang was sitting at the table writing something.

Wang Dong came in from outside and as soon as he came in, he picked up the teapot and poured water into his mouth.

"It's so hot, I'm so thirsty that my throat is about to smoke."

After drinking some water, Wang Dong felt a little better.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "How is it going? How is your study going?"

These days Wang Dong not only has to come to the store to help, but also has to learn how to drive.

Look, from his appearance, he just came back from driving lessons.

When it comes to this, Wang Dong said proudly: "Not bad, I've gotten the hang of it. Xiao Ming said that after two more days of teaching, I can take the exam."

Cao Liang nodded. "Then you should be more careful. After all, Xiao Ming has his own job and can't always help us transport goods."

"I know."

Wang Dong agreed, and suddenly saw the paper on the table, and asked curiously: "Liangzi, what are you writing? Recruiting wholesalers? What does it mean?"

Cao Liang said: "Of course, we should find a way to make more money."

"What can I do?"

When it comes to this, Wang Dong becomes interested.

Although he is very satisfied now, he can almost earn back the money he spent on the machine in a few days.

But who would complain about having too much money?

Cao Liang smiled and said, "Small profits but quick turnover."

"What do you mean?"

Wang Dong was confused.

Cao Liang explained: "You know, the price of our instant noodles is not high. After deducting the cost, we only make 10 cents per pack. We can only make more money by increasing the quantity."

Wang Dong's eyes lit up. "Tell me, do you have a way to sell more?"

“This requires help from others.”

"Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me directly. I'm going to be anxious to death."

Cao Liang shook his head helplessly and said, "We just recruit wholesalers and sell the goods to them at a lower price, so that they can make a profit and help us sell the goods."

"You may have noticed that there are small stalls everywhere on the streets now, and the government also advocates supporting private businesses. This will become a major trend in the future."

"As time goes by, there will definitely be more and more stores like ours."

Wang Dong nodded thoughtfully.

He understood, but he still had another question, he couldn't help but ask: "If we give in, won't that mean we will earn less?"

"You can't calculate it that way. Although we make a little less money per pack, we can sell more goods and make more money."

Cao Liang explained patiently.

This is the generation gap.

Although Wang Dong is smart, he has never heard of relevant things, so he naturally doesn't understand these.

Soon, he thought of another problem. "In this case, I guess a lot of goods are needed, but Mosquito may be too busy to handle it."

There are only six machines. Because of the large demand for goods in the past few days, the machines have basically not stopped for 24 hours and are working hard to produce.

The factory now operates in two shifts, and for this purpose, a few more people have been hired.

Cao Liang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have already contacted my senior brother and asked him to go to Hong Kong and bring back a few more machines."

Speaking of which, Cao Liang was able to get these machines thanks to the help of Lou Bancheng.

He is doing very well in Hong Kong now, and it is with his help that Cao Liang was able to get these machines.

Otherwise you can’t get it even if you have money.

"Ah? You still need to buy a machine?"

Wang Dong was surprised.

"Of course! Don't you want to make more money?" Cao Liang asked back.

"I do think about it, but I've been thinking about getting married recently, and I want to get some dividends first!"

Wang Dong said worriedly.

If I want to buy another machine, all the money I earned during this period will be gone.

"Hey, Dongzi, are you willing to get married?"

Meng Xiaoxing finished her work and came over. She happened to hear Wang Dong's words and said happily, "You want money? It's a small matter. I have some here. How much do you want? I'll lend it to you first."

Wang Dong said awkwardly, "My partner has been clamoring to get married! I think I am not young anymore, so it is time to settle down."

"You should have done this a long time ago."

Meng Xiaoxing smiled and said, "If you wait a few more years, my eldest son will probably get married first. By then, will his children call you grandpa? And you are still not married?"

Wang Dong smiled embarrassedly.

Meng Xiaoxing asked, "Dongzi, how much do you want? I'll come and get it for you tomorrow."

Wang Dong thought about it and said, "Just give me 500 first! After all, she followed me, and I can't let her down."

"no problem."

Meng Xiaoxing agreed immediately.

Wang Dong looked at Cao Liang again, "Liangzi, when Gangzi, Mosquito and Monkey got married, you paid for everything. I won't ask you to pay for everything, but you must pay for the three turns and one ring."

"Okay, no big deal."

Cao Liang agreed immediately, and then said with a smile: "I definitely support you getting married, but until now, none of us brothers have met your partner, which is a bit unreasonable!"

"Liangzi is right. I think it would be better if we could find some time some other day and have everyone come to our house for dinner. It just so happens that you haven't come to our house for dinner for a while."

Meng Xiaoxing suggested.

"...Fine!"

Meng Xiaoxing had said so, what else could he do? He could only agree.

After the investment information was sent out, people started to come and inquire.

When people heard that they could become agents for the sale of instant noodles, more and more savvy people came to us seeking cooperation.

Just then the machines arrived, and Cao Liang bought fourteen more machines, making a total of twenty machines.

Today he followed Xiao Ming to deliver the machine back to the factory.

At this time,

In front of the Brothers Wholesale store, a bearded man with a weathered face stood at the door.

His expression was very complicated.

He stood there for a long while before he gritted his teeth and walked in.

He walked to the counter, took a deep breath, and then said to the monkey who was counting the money inside: "Monkey, long time no see!"
