King of Industry

Walking at the most famous and classic area in SJ City with his former deskmate, Zhao Guoyang didn't feel anything strange in his heart, he just silently looked at the endless stream of people around him.

The Old Town God's Temple is the core of the Songjiang old city area. It is bounded by the Ring Road, the north half of which is Renmin Road, and the south half is Zhonghua Road.

This land used to be a moat. At the beginning of the last century, the river was filled to build roads and pave with asphalt, and trolleybus No. 11 was used.

It wasn't until recent years that there was a call to switch to a car.

The city walls here were also demolished, leaving a number of ancient place names including Dadongmen, Dananmen, Laoximen and Xinbeimen.

Many old people in Songjiang know that the Old Town God's Temple used to be the seat of the Songjiang County Government.

This point can be vaguely distinguished from the nearby place names such as Guanyi Street, Xianzuo Street, Sanpailou, Sipailou, and Jiuxuechang Road.

Zhao Guoyang and Qi Meiyun walked on the west side of the Old Town God's Temple Square, and saw a row of eye-catching wing rooms.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a chess and card room for playing chess.

Unlike the era before Zhao Guoyang's rebirth, in the early 1990s, there must have been few people playing mahjong in the chess and card room.

When Zhao Guoyang and the others came over, it was full of people playing chess, go and bridge.

Among them, the chess table occupies the vast majority.

To Zhao Guoyang's surprise, there were more people watching chess than playing chess.

Although the rule is to watch the game and not speak, occasionally some people will make jokes.

Zhao Guoyang stood by the side for a while, and then he heard the dialects of Yongcheng, Kuaiji, Gusu, Jiangbei, Ludong and other places.

After looking at it for a while, Zhao Guoyang saw that Qi Meiyun wasn't interested, so he smiled and said, Meiyun, I'm really hungry, let's move on and find something to buy.

Okay, let's go to the square in front of the temple. The fried steamed buns and chicken and duck blood soup there are delicious. The soup in the steamed buns and the chicken and duck offal in the blood soup make people drool. .”

Zhao Guoyang also had an impression of fried steamed buns. After hearing Qi Meiyun's words, he said with a huh: Okay, then let's go there...

On the way towards the square in front of the temple, Zhao Guoyang discovered that the old Town God's Temple was undergoing renovation.

The Yuebin Building on Jiaochang Road, the snack shop and Fenglou near Guanyi Street are all undergoing renovation.

Seeing that Zhao Guoyang was not looking around, Qi Meiyun explained the historical allusions of these shops to him one by one with understanding.

Ah, the building in front that is about to be built is the Huabao Building that is rumored to be selling handicrafts!

Seeing a majestic four-story building with upturned eaves and corners in front, Qi Meiyun introduced it to Zhao Guoyang with great interest.

Huabao Building? Zhao Guoyang was taken aback when he heard this rather familiar name.

The name of Huabao building is taken from the sentence Wuhua Tianbao in Preface to Tengwang Pavilion written by Wang Bo, a famous writer and four masters in the early Tang Dynasty. It means all kinds of handicrafts, silk, ornaments, antiques and cultural relics in the building, many of which are treasures of all things.

Before his rebirth, although Zhao Guoyang had never been to this Huabao building, among the friends he usually contacts, many of them were the big customers of this building.

Everyone has a good opinion of it, and it is basically regarded as the top store of the same type in China.

However, there was only one reason why Zhao Guoyang was stunned at this time, and that was his Fashion beauty jewelry brand.

Wei Wei was stunned for a moment, then Zhao Guoyang asked, Meiyun, when will this Huabao Building open?

After hearing this, Qi Meiyun was curious: What's the matter, Guoyang, do you want to buy handicrafts?

As if thinking of something, Qi Meiyun suddenly realized: Uh, I see. Guoyang, you want to buy antiques, don't you? Tsk tsk, rich people are different!

Hearing the squad leader's ridicule, Zhao Guoyang curled his lips helplessly.

He raised his finger and pointed to the front, and said honestly: Meiyun, you are mistaken, I asked about the 'Huabao Building', but I just wanted to see the jewelry inside it...

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Qi Meiyun inevitably got it wrong.

Her face changed slightly: Uh, Guoyang, are you going to prepare a 'love gift' for your girlfriend?

You may be disappointed about this. This 'Huabao Building' seems to be decorated very carefully. It will take at least a year and a half to complete the decoration.

If you wait for the goods to arrive and then open for business, I'm afraid it will be the next year.

Zhao Guoyang naturally didn't hear the strangeness in Qi Meiyun's words and found out.

He smiled wryly and said, Hey, sir, look at how busy I am every day, do I have time to fall in love?

Without waiting for Qi Meiyun to answer, Zhao Guoyang continued: I am thinking about the sales of my own factory's products!

Speaking of which, Meiyun, you should also be aware of this matter. The last time that guy Sun Ning came to SJ City, wasn't it because of our Rongguang Machinery Factory's jewelry plating?

Hearing this, Qi Meiyun immediately understood.

She nodded again and again: Ah, yes, yes, I forgot, that monkey guy is messing with you.

According to this, Guoyang, are you going to sell the accessories in this 'Huabao Building'?

Hearing Qi Meiyun's question, Zhao Guoyang nodded and said, Well, I do have this idea.

SJ Town God's Temple is the leading commercial street in China, right? If we can get our products into this area, it will definitely be of great help to our factory's brand promotion.

Well……

Hearing this, Qi Meiyun said with some hesitation: Guoyang, I heard that the threshold for 'Huabaolou' is very high. They seem to be unwilling to cooperate with ordinary brands!

Zhao Guoyang naturally understood the bullishness of Huabaolou.

Hearing Qi Meiyun's persuasion, he turned his head with a smile and said, Of course I understand this, but, Meiyun, do you think I'm the kind of person who talks too much?

Although the products in our factory still have the ability to enter the high-end market. But isn't their 'Huabao Building' also opened?

Taking advantage of the small two-year renovation period of the 'Huabao Building', it just gave our factory the opportunity to improve the quality of our products...

Zhao Guoyang narrowed his eyes, stroked his chin and said, If everything goes well, it's possible that by the time they open, our factory's jewelry will already be famous.

Hearing Zhao Guoyang's confident words, Qi Meiyun was speechless for a while.

As she has lived in SJ for several years, she already knows a lot about this big city.

Huabao Building has a big background and strong capital, which is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

If any other person had said such arrogant words in front of her, Qi Meiyun would definitely have dismissed them.

But for some reason, when Zhao Guoyang said these words, she didn't have such thoughts in her heart at all.

Perhaps, this is where Zhao Guoyang is different.

The two wandered around the Town God's Temple for a while, ate raw fried steamed buns and chicken and duck blood soup, and then embarked on the return journey with unsatisfied satisfaction.

On the way back, the communication between the two became more and more in-depth.

Obviously, the last class reunion and this reunion brought the relationship between the two tablemates back to their school days.

As they walked, Qi Meiyun sighed and said, Guoyang, I really envy you. Through hard work, you can break out of your own world.

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help laughing and said, Meiyun, do you also want to venture out on your own? I fully support this!

The current national policy is committed to supporting the development of private enterprises. With your ability, you can definitely make a career by yourself.

Qi Meiyun did not expect that Zhao Guoyang had a high opinion of herself, and a hint of joy appeared on her face immediately.

However, thinking about her own affairs, she quickly put away her smile and said, Guoyang, you will be mistaken. I am still very satisfied with my current job, and I am doing it more smoothly. I don't have any ambitions...

Qi Meiyun's remarks made Zhao Guoyang a little puzzled.

Seeing the questioning gaze shot from him tilting his head, Qi Meiyun sighed and said: That's right, Guoyang, our SJ Textile Group Co., Ltd., although the performance has been good before, but after the country's reform and opening up, With the emergence of a large number of foreign companies and private companies, the market competition has become increasingly fierce, and the current situation is not good.

For the whole of last year, our company's sales dropped by 30%. In the first quarter of this year, this figure continued to decline.

Looking at Zhao Guoyang with a sad face, Qi Meiyun continued to speak: Guoyang, you know that my current position is the deputy section chief of the second sales section of the marketing management department. Due to the decline in performance, our section has three I haven't received my bonus for a month...

Because there is no bonus, everyone's enthusiasm for work has dropped a lot. Now, more people eat vegetarian meals. After work, everyone just reads newspapers, knits sweaters, and just waits to get off work.

I see these things in my eyes and I am anxious in my heart. However, I can't come up with any effective solutions at all, and it has become a vicious circle.

Hearing Qi Meiyun's complaints, Zhao Guoyang patted her on the shoulder lightly to show comfort.

Feeling the concern of her old classmate, Qi Meiyun finally looked a little better.

After a moment of silence, she sighed softly and said, For this matter, our section chief and I also made several suggestions, but he rejected them all.

In his words, anyway, there are still wages, so we have to worry about so much. The only thing we can do now is to wait and see what happens. If it doesn't work, the factory will definitely be acquired, and then see if it will be retained...

Zhao Guoyang couldn't agree with Qi Meiyun and the others' section chief's point of view.

Indeed, in state-owned enterprises, there are many people who hold his idea.

If the production and technical departments think so, there is nothing to say.

But as a leader of the sales department, if he also holds this kind of thinking, it will be a bit negative.

The reason is simple, the sales department is the only department that can turn things around when the company is in a bad situation for a long time.
