Shengsheng

Xiao Liangsheng encountered a "snot bag" at the school gate the first day of school, and Liang Sheng only learned about it from him after a few days.

Beginning in September, all primary and secondary school students in the city went back to school at once.

Parents who have a headache for their children for a holiday should stay at home and go to work.

Liang Sheng himself sent people to school for classes during the day, and then he and Cao Maocai continued to work day and night on the 'Maojin' cannery and the Changping bidding plan.

He didn't ask too much about whether the child is suitable for studying and living in school, and whether he can get along with teachers and classmates.

After all, some words are too much to say, and it is actually an invisible pressure on him and the child. He himself knows this truth very well.

In his heart, he actually hoped that Xiao Liangsheng could do what he really likes to do.

I have a hobby that I am interested in from the bottom of my heart. I know some teachers and classmates I like. I can go to and from school together every day, laughing, and playing in the corridor after class.

Don't waste half your life in a daze like a waste like he was when he was a child.

Even though the life with him may be a bit bitter now, at least the nature is free, that is what a child should enjoy, a happy and beautiful childhood.

However, Liang Sheng, who had learned from the old account of going back to Hexi last time and learned a lot from it, did not dare to take it lightly this time.

Instead, he tried his best to give Xiao Liang Sheng, who just entered junior high school, more time to accompany him.

On the other hand, the main remaining energy is still devoted to the registered trademark of "Maojin" canned food and the modification of the bidding plan.

Speaking of the 'Maojin' canned food and the land bidding, we naturally have to talk about the last time the provincial capital interviewed the truck driver and gave them a publicity incident.

Later, because of the [-] o'clock news program, it was rebroadcast several times on provincial satellite TV and local TV stations.

This event, which is extremely rare in a small city, continued to ferment for another two days. Not only the neighbors and neighbors knew that his family's canned 'Maojin' brand horse head fish was reported by reporters and made a sensation on TV.

As a result, many local suppliers and distributors who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity have come to contact them privately, wanting to talk about the increase of retail outlets and the investment of shares to expand production value.

Among them are some "old acquaintances" who they rejected in person when they first contacted the canning factory to start a business, and there are also "new friends" who wanted to find out first when they saw the wind was not going well.

In short, the prices offered by each mouth are very good, and the prospects for cooperation between the two parties are exaggerated. Just listening to them makes these little people tempted.

Also because of Liang Sheng's foresight, they also took advantage of a lot of money this time, and hurriedly registered the trademark "Maojin" first.

It avoids the bad trend of being forced to get involved in infringement lawsuits due to the illegal squatting of trademarks that is currently prevailing in China.

As a result, they just got the registration documents from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and within a few days, an acquaintance from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau called Liang Sheng and said.

Sure enough, in the past two days, some people of unknown origin really planned to register the brand of 'Maojin'. Fortunately, the higher authorities did not approve it, which avoided a big trouble.

In particular, what Liang Sheng didn't expect was that, with the good news that the trademark was completely taken down, the reputation of their brand in the early days was also spread out one after another.

This not only attracted the attention of many local companies, but also two companies who came from other places specially approached them.

Among the two, one was mainly engaged in the import and export of food business along the coast. It seemed that the scale was not large. Even the person in charge of the project who came to discuss business was very young and spoke a capital accent.

I heard that the boss is currently in the provincial capital, and he is on a business trip and has not come back. He fell in love with 'Maojin' because he happened to watch a program on the provincial capital's satellite TV.

The other is well-known locally and even in the provincial capital. It is said that it is invested by a foreign company and is an out-and-out coastal hegemonic enterprise in this era.

But there is only one shortcoming, which is that the brand 'Maojin' is small and the prospect of cooperation is not great. I prefer to buy the trademark directly, but I don't reject continuing to grind with them.

The conditions of these two companies are put together, but every individual wants to fight for the second family, especially the former one sounds unknown, and the company registration time is not long, it always gives people a feeling that the temple is too small to do anything. .

But in the final analysis, whether it is Cao Maocai, who has many years of business experience, or Liang Sheng, who is just a fledgling, they are very clear.

'Maojin' is still a small start-up brand, and the most important thing right now is to absorb a reliable source of funds in the short term, to consolidate product quality in the minds of consumers and to expand popularity.

So after carefully referring to the technical suggestions of Lao Pang and the director of the third factory on canning freshness and assembly line reinforcement.

At that time, he had just come back from Hexi and had a round with Cao Maocai and the others. Liang Sheng, who had already absorbed a certain amount of original funds, thought carefully for two days, and at the risk of offending others, he took back the latter big company and gave it to the previous one, which was smaller. accurate words.

And when he heard that Liang Sheng had agreed to the investment project, the young man named the representative of the person in charge of the 'Xiaotian' company was quite happy.

He made a quick phone call to his mysterious boss, found a notary lawyer for both parties, and finalized the first investment.

During the process, the big boss behind the scenes did not appear from the beginning to the end, but the small person in charge told them that his family is currently a small business with few serious employees now, and he used to do some food import and export.

In addition, the two bosses were very busy since they had just started, which also made Liang Sheng slightly understand the sadness of starting a small business.

And then it came to August in the blink of an eye, and occasionally met with the small person in charge, and even made a phone call, he didn't rush to increase the sales outlets in the city.

Instead, it was first decided to work with Cao Mao to simply control the output value of the assembly line within a reasonable range and engage in stable and sustainable production.

In the follow-up, according to the increase in investment, the assembly line will be increased, and the cost will never be reduced in the use of raw materials. One assembly line will be added.

As for the choice of the second- and third-generation assembly lines, it was preliminarily decided on the Changping and Chengbei New Farmer's Markets, which he had been looking forward to early in the morning.

"Changping? The new farmer's market in the north of the city? What kind of good land is this? You and Lao Cao have decided like this? But I'm surprised, how did you happen to fall in love with these two places?"

"..."

"This is a poor mountain, near a suburb, and I can still understand the suburb. After all, the assembly line needs a place that is more spacious and quiet, but you chose to analyze it for us in Changping Village, which is so poor that you can't even afford food. What about the benefits?"

Perhaps it was because this fact came a little urgently. At that time, Lao Pang, the person in charge of the third factory, questioned Liang Sheng's decision so bluntly.

Because during that time, in order to adjust to the new technology, everyone basically ate and lived in the third factory, and there was no taboo to talk to each other over time.

So even if he was questioned like this, Liang Sheng was not in a hurry. Instead, after thinking about it for a while, he said his true thoughts.

"Sea lung? Egret? It's the kind of poisonous river fish and the white bird that catches fish by the water? But what's the use of this egret? Didn't the countryside used to be everywhere? And it used to be when there were guns at home. Grab it and eat it casually, the meat is so dry, can it be used as canned food?"

As if they didn't quite understand what he meant, Lao Pang and the technicians around him asked Liang Sheng strangely.

But when they heard that they had said this, they still didn't understand. Liang Sheng, who had been guiding everyone's thinking, didn't say a word, but waved his hand in a joking tone and continued,

"Hey, you guys are biased when you say this. Why is the egret bird useless? It used to be the past, but now it's a new society. Don't we all know that we watch the news at home every day? The egret is now a second-level national protection. Animals, we have to take it as an important indicator when evaluating wetlands outside every year, and Changping is famous for its good water quality. Not only do sea lungs swim in from the Yangtze River to lay eggs in the water every year, but also egrets come to the wetlands to build nests and lay eggs every year. , such a good place, isn’t it worth spending money on?”

"wetlands?"

"Yes, wetland, Lao Pang, my sister-in-law's home is in the south. You should have heard that there is also a 5A wetland in the south of Zhejiang Province, right?"

"Oh, I know, I know, it seems to be called Xi Village. I heard that it used to be a very poor village, and the annual output value was low..."

In the middle of speaking, Lao Pang paused.

He seemed to have suddenly realized something, and looked at Liang Sheng, who was young but had never expected such a big appetite, in disbelief.

And Liang Sheng, who had planted his own ambition in Changping early because of the 'sea lung', did not show timidity when he saw this, but simply pointed to the Changping factory map he had drawn for everyone during the demonstration before, and smiled confidently and continued. road,

"Chengbei and Changping are both old districts of our city. Once they are merged, everyone will be happy and worried. People in the city don't seem to accept this. They think that it is not a good thing for the rural household registration to be merged into the city suddenly. But to be honest, It is true that the poor over there have been poor for many years, but sometimes the places where life is a little bit harder in the past does not mean that they will not be able to get up for a lifetime. We build the assembly line there now. If the ecological circle around Changping is really good in the future, it will benefit It’s not just the locals, it’s us as well.”

"..."

"So how can a good place with clear water, green water, birds and fish be worthless for a lifetime? That is, it is worthless to build a house around it in five years, and will it be worthless in ten years? Will it be worthless in 15 years ago? Good places are all It is the same wherever you put the energy to continuously attract investment.”

"..."

"Of course, I'm not a god who can definitely guess what will happen in the future. I'm not [-]% sure now, but I have some capital on hand with Lao Guan, so I have some preliminary plans. The assembly line is selected in Changping. Hechengbei new agricultural trade is the first step of our "Maojin", and it is also our main goal next year. If you don't believe me, you can wait and see the output value of the third batch of products after the assembly line is implemented. What do you guys think? "

Liang Sheng's words completely silenced Lao Pang.

Perhaps it was because he believed in Liang Sheng's foresight and foresight in doing business.

Therefore, the third factory continued to maintain a solid cooperation with them, and successfully built the new assembly line.

And once the assembly line is built, the cost of 'Maojin''s main product canned horse head fish will be quickly reduced. Liang Sheng and Cao Maocai will strike while the iron is hot and refurbish and launch two new products together with the supplier.

One is fried fish lungs, using fresh sea lungs grown in Changping; the other is brine shrimp, which tastes authentic in western Guangdong.

Only this time, more than 8000 cans were produced for each of the two new products, and they were all sold out by orders placed by various suppliers early on before the cans were officially shipped.

But I have to say that this move did solve the problem of supplying new products that plagued them in the long run.

Because the inventory and expenditure in the warehouse have remained at the same level, he and Cao Maocai, together with the third factory, took the shares and continued to increase the production of canned food.

For a time, many small shops in this city bought the series of "Maojin" Jiangxian products overnight.

Those who work in the unit or get off work in the factory, if the wife and mother at home happen to have no time to cook today, the first choice is to make boxed lunch in the cafeteria, plus this can of 'Maojin' brand fresh-keeping canned food poured on the rice.

Therefore, in the short one and a half months when Xiao Liangsheng was preparing for the No. 3 middle school exam at home, the net profit of the third and fourth batches of canned 'Maojin' horse head fish that year reached an astonishing 4000 yuan and [-] yuan.

The accounts of 3 yuan and 4000 yuan were calculated by Jin Ping, who was in charge of the accounts.

Excluding the initial investment and the labor fees and costs of the third factory, it can be regarded as a complete profit for them who made up their minds to do business for the first time.

It was also because the profits and benefits were so astonishing, so the three of them, who had never handled such a large sum of money in their entire lives, felt a little unbelievable for a while.

But if you think about it carefully, the second half of the year is the biggest season for the stocking and shipping of canned food, plus the residual effects of TV stations and consumers before.

Taking advantage of the current limelight, it is much more understandable for them to obtain such a high profit return in one fell swoop.

But even if they understood, Cao Maocai and his wife still looked at the last few digits on their account books, their eyes were red and their hands were trembling, and it took a long time to hold back such a sentence to Liang Sheng.

"Ah Sheng... we, did we really earn money? This is really our money, no, did we make a mistake?"

This sentence containing many years of sadness really exhausted the longing and longing for wealth in the hearts of the couple who were used to being poor.

Because of poverty, the two of them lived half their lives in a tight situation. They didn't dare to eat or wear clothes. They even tried to buy the cheapest clothes for the two children for the New Year.

But once they touched the edge of real wealth, they seemed so unbelievable, immersed in great joy.

So much so that he had an agreement with Liang Sheng before, even if he really made a lot of money, he couldn't be in a hurry to reveal his wealth to outsiders.

Cao Maocai and Jin Ping, who are usually honest and honest, spent half their lives restraining themselves before resisting the urge to call the elderly and children at home to announce the good news and tell them all the truth.

However, listening to the voices of the elderly and children at home, they really wanted to tell their families and children loudly on the phone at that moment.

After so many years of hard work, I finally got rich.

And it's not such a small amount of 1 to 10, but a full [-] yuan is lying in their pockets, and perhaps there will be more and more in the future.

But when he thought about Liang Sheng's previous advice, and then thought about the fact that his family's relatives in his hometown were already very talkative.

In the early years, when they came out to do business together, they always looked down upon them. If the news of the business became bigger and spread home, they would suffer in the end, and maybe they would be the ones who would be borrowed and couldn't get back.

In addition, for Cao Maocai and Jin Ping, they are also clear.

The more than [-] yuan, in fact, a large part of the credit came from Liang Sheng's advice along the way, not entirely from their own credit.

So besides crying with excitement and joy, this simple-minded couple also sincerely proposed to Liang Sheng that most of the product profits and dividends this time should be transferred to his name for his mobilization and control. suggestion.

Liang Sheng actually understood the kindness of these two couples.But in the end, he refused the 10 yuan without thinking.

After all, from the very beginning of their acquaintance, he could see that Cao Maocai and Jin Ping were rare good people.

It is also because of this that the money that the three of them have earned together does not seem to him to belong to him.

And although on the one hand he really wanted to earn more money in both his previous life and this life, on the other hand, in his eyes, the friendship between people is sometimes more important than money and the like heavier.

Therefore, even though he knew in his heart that they were thinking of themselves, Liang Sheng still insisted on confiscating the 'big red envelope' that Jin Ping and his wife gave him.

Instead, after several rounds of discussions between the three, on September 2002, 9, three weeks after Xiao Liangsheng officially started school.

At that time, Rural Industrial and Commercial Bank officially registered their corporate account in the name of "Maojin" with 5 yuan, and used the remaining less than 7 yuan to buy a domestic FAW car produced in 02 in the provincial capital. , and after the car officially arrived, it quietly hid in the Changping factory near here, without telling anyone except the three of them.

Liang Sheng would do this, of course, out of consideration for Cao Maocai and Jin Ping.

After all, in this era, whether it is buying a car or 7 yuan, it is not a small sum for ordinary families.

Liang Sheng had seen all sorts of messy and sinister things in his previous life, and now he was even more thinking that it would not be a good thing for the couple if some caring people secretly thought about this fledgling business.

Speaking carefully of this first car in life, it was actually Lao Cao and Liang Sheng who took the time to go to the provincial capital to pick it out.

At that time, FAW-Volkswagen did not have a large scale nationwide, and most domestic buyers who had spare money to buy cars would choose to buy imported German-made cars.

But at this moment in 2002, the price of German-made cars was too expensive, and second, once the front bumper and other parts were damaged, it was extremely difficult to find the original factory warranty.

Therefore, Liang Sheng had to go through this account carefully in his heart. In order to make it easier for him to travel between the provincial capital and Changping several assembly lines in the future, he negotiated to simply buy this car.

It just so happened that the day he took the bus to the depot in the provincial capital to look at the car was the weekend, Xiao Liangsheng had Jin Ping at home to watch Xiao Liangsheng go to and from school these two days, so he didn't need to worry about it.

So it seemed like a countryman returning to the city, so he spent a day going back and forth to visit several foreign trade shopping malls in the provincial capital with Lao Cao.

Before going, thinking about coming to the provincial capital for the first time in his life, Liang Sheng, who wanted to visit his investor, even called the small person in charge.

It turned out that the person in charge was really busy, and the phone was always on a busy tone.

It was only later in the afternoon that he said something very apologetic. During the day, he was out socializing with his boss, and before he could pick him up, he asked him if he wanted to come to play somewhere.

But Liang Sheng didn't mind at all when he heard the words, he just replied with a witty smile and said goodbye, next time he has a chance, he will be the boss, and then he will take pictures of where he should go, and enjoy himself for a while. city.

After all, his pockets are bulging, so he doesn't feel guilty about entering and exiting this magnificent foreign trade mall at will.

In addition, the clothes and shoes imported and exported are really trendy and beautiful, with novel styles.

Like a country bumpkin, Liang Sheng paid out of his own pocket for Jin Ping, Cao Maocai, the elderly and children in their hometown, and himself, each quietly buying seven or eight sets of spring and summer clothes, sneakers, suits, and down jackets that have just become popular in this era.

Especially his classmate Xiaoshengsheng, Liang Sheng bought several pairs of brand-name sneakers out of excitement.

I just wanted to let him go to school to dress up and show off in front of his classmates after returning home, so as to reward him for his good behavior since the beginning of school.

But who would have expected that on the day when Liang Sheng was in a good mood and took most of his clothes and shoes back to City Y, he got home but before he could sit still, he was told by Jin Ping with a look of embarrassment. One thing that happened when I wasn't home.

It was also this incident that made him know that, in fact, school started almost three or four weeks ago, and there was a little guy who tried to fool him every day when he went home, basically treating him like a fool who didn't know anything .

"What? Sister-in-law? You said... Shengsheng's teacher called home yesterday? Said that he and his classmates had a quarrel in the class, and they started fighting in the classroom?"
