The Pentium Era - South to North

The next morning, Old Tang sent over jerseys and shorts, and also brought a box sample of the West Lake Ten Treasures he had made. Zhang Chen was surprised when he saw it: "So fast?"

"Aren't you waiting for that pole in a hurry? I worked on it all night and helped him get it out. Let's see how it goes." Old Tang said.

Zhang Chen picked up the box, looked up and down, then opened the big box outside and looked at the small boxes inside. After reading it, he smiled and said, "I can only use three words to describe it, 'too good'."

Zhang Chen called and asked He Hongmei to come up. He Hongmei liked it very much when she saw it. She said, when I go back to Chongqing, I must bring a lot with me. Every time I went back in the past, I didn’t know what to bring. Hangzhou said there are a lot of good things. , but there are very few things that can really be given away and taken away from others, that is, tea leaves and fans, but we girls don’t like to give those things as gifts, so we have this.

Zhang Chen's heart moved as he listened. In addition to this place in his Sanbao factory, plus the Yan'an Road store, there are more than 600 employees. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is September 30th, and it is the National Day. People are given a tube of mooncakes and a box of this as an employee benefit. No one will eat the mooncakes anyway, so it's just fun.

Their Shanghai shopping mall counter opened, with more than 20 sales staff, and the following specialty stores. When shipping, they also sent two boxes to each store. Everyone was happy.

In addition, the clothing department of every shopping mall in Shanghai also asked Xiaoli to bring twenty boxes to each store. In this way, she would need a thousand boxes to support Liu Ligan, just like when Qian Fang and the others bought a lot of clothes. , support yourself as well.

Lao Tang not only brought a sample of the box, but also brought the drawing, so that Liu Ligan could directly let the printing factory make the plate and print it.

Zhao Jingjing walked in and told them that they were so happy when they got the clothes. They all said that they had never worn such beautiful clothes.

"Thank you, Old Tang!" Zhang Chen said, "By the way, I will also thank you on behalf of the pole. When he puts this on the market, I will let him treat you to meat."

Old Tang smiled and said: "If you like it, it already gives me a sense of accomplishment. If you have meat to eat, that would be even better. Okay, I'll go back first. I have to work after I get some sleep. Zhao Zhigang's place, I'm about to be forced by him." crazy."

Zhang Chen told him, "You really need to stock up on more goods. Think about it, on October 1, six stores in Shanghai will be opened at the same time. Plus there are so many franchise stores. He is afraid that you won't be able to cope with the demand."

"I don't care about other places. Here in Chongqing, Old Tang, you can't miss anything." He Hongmei said.

Old Tang said: "Okay, if not, I'll give him to you."

"Go, I don't want your people. If you dare to miss one thing, Old Tang, let me tell you, I will follow you all day long." He Hongmei shouted.

"Why are you following me and begging me to take you in?" Old Tang asked.

"What a beautiful idea." He Hongmei said, "I will fight for meat with you, whether it is in your bowl or in the pot. I will snatch the meat when I see it, so that you will not be able to eat a piece of meat for a month."

Old Tang laughed: "This is too cruel, I have to run away quickly."

Zhang Chen immediately called Liu Ligan and told him that the sample of the box had arrived. When Liu Ligan heard this, he came over on his bicycle. When he saw the box, he smiled from ear to ear. He said, "I heard you yesterday Jijigugu, I don’t know what you are talking about, but it turned out to be like this, haha, it’s just what I want, this is what I want, and the only people who know me well are you two men and one woman.

He stood up and was about to leave. Zhang Chen asked, why are you in such a hurry?

"You want to grab the eleventh, and I want to grab the eleventh. I haven't told Fan Qishun and the others about this yet. I have to convince them first."

He Hongmei asked: "Do you want to give me the car and give you a ride?"

Before Liu Ligan said anything, Zhang Chen said yes. If you rush to the National Day, you only have twelve days. You haven't even come out of the box yet. In this way, after you talk to Fan Qishun and others, go to Qu Tianlin and others immediately. Go there and ask them to introduce you to a printing shop that can be reached. You might even want to go to the printing shop right away.

"Okay, thank you!" Liu Ligan grabbed He Hongmei's car key, raised it towards her, took the box sample and the drawing and went out.

Liu Ligan took the box and arrived at Fan Qishun's office. Fan Qishun looked at the box and asked Liu Ligan, what was it used for, to contain rat poison?

"You're such a farmer, how could you tell it was a fake rat poison?" Fan Jianguo cursed.

"Isn't it here? There is a painting of a mouse with the words 'rats can't forget'. Rats can't forget. They will go away and come back to eat. As a result, their hair is curled up. If it's not rat poison, what is it?" Fan Qishun asked.

Liu Ligan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it. He knew that this matter was not as simple as he thought. He found someone to design a new packaging box, and they would accept it immediately. It was a packaging that looked very fashionable.

If their ideas were so easy to change, then this factory would not be reduced to such a miserable state of being unable to make soy sauce, ham and ham, and finally pastries.

It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's temperament. This temperament actually means that one's ideas are more appropriate. What else is more difficult than changing a person's ideas?

But if you can't even do this, then you might as well stop your activities as soon as possible and go back to where you came from, let alone implement your huge plan.

He hasn't even thrown out the first handful of bait yet.

Although Fan Jianguo himself couldn't tell what was so good about this box, Liu Ligan said that this box was intended to contain Yiming pastries, so he felt that he had the responsibility to convince his father to accept this idea. Who makes the boss more important than your dad? Your dad doesn't pay your salary. The boss is the one who pays you. If the boss says yes, then of course it is good.

Didn't the boss hire him just to make Fan Qishun submit through himself? Although he didn't know what Fan Qishun would do if he submitted, but Liu Ligan promised not to do bad things, so that would be fine.

When Fan Jianguo saw that Liu Ligan was silent, he told Fan Qishun, "This is a packaging box we specially asked someone to help design. It is used to package things in the factory."

Fan Qishun was startled and shouted: "Use this to wrap our pastries? Are you kidding me? How much can be packed in such small boxes?"

"You don't care how many things it can hold, just use this."

"You can just use this to install it, no, no, you are the director of this factory, or I am the director."

As the father and son spoke, they started to quarrel.

When people in the office nearby heard this, they all came over. The secretary quickly persuaded the two people to stop, and looked at Liu Ligan with some dissatisfaction, meaning that you are just a piece of wood on the side, and you don't know how to persuade?

It's not that Liu Ligan doesn't know how to persuade, but he wants to see how stubborn Fan Qishun is. He already knows this matter in his heart. Fan Qishun has to do it even if he doesn't do it, because Zhang Chen told him that their company wants to order One thousand boxes of West Lake's Ten Treasures, plus one thousand tubes of mooncakes. This one order alone is the sales of this dilapidated factory for two months. Can he not do it?

The accountant and cashier came in and looked at the box. The cashier said that it looked good, but it was not practical.

The accountant asked, how much does it cost to make this set of boxes?

Fan Jianguo didn't know. He looked at Liu Ligan, and Liu Ligan said that the specific price had not been negotiated with the printing factory, but it was probably more than three yuan.

"How much?" asked the accountant.

"You didn't hear clearly, it's more than three yuan." Fan Jianguo shouted.

"How many kilograms of pastries can it hold?"

Fan Jianguo didn't know anymore, so he still looked at Liu Ligan. Liu Ligan said that each box should not contain more than two and a half, so a large box like this would weigh about two and a half kilograms.

"No, no, it's not cost-effective." The accountant shook his head like a rattle, "We can't sell two pieces of tissue paper for less than a penny. How can we bear the cost of more than three yuan."

When Fan Qishun heard this, he looked at Liu Ligan and Fan Jianguo proudly, meaning, look, you don't understand, there must be someone who understands.

"It's just wrapped in straw paper, so we can't sell it. I told you earlier that the packaging of our factory's products needs to be changed, but a bunch of old antiques just refuse to change." The person from the sales department shouted from the side.

"Are you crazy, Saxi?" Fan Qishun scolded. When the salesman said that he wanted to change the packaging, he was probably telling him, and scolding the old antique was probably just scolding him.

"Yes, I also think this box is very beautiful. If you take this box to other stores, you can straighten your waist." Another salesperson also shouted.

Immediately, the two of them fought against Fan Qishun.

The benefits of this factory are not good and wages are hardly guaranteed. One good thing is that all living beings are equal. Even the director of the factory, no one takes him seriously, just like the Wu Opera Troupe back then, no one would ever take the troupe seriously. Elder Yang took it seriously.

Liu Ligan watched, secretly amused. When they were done arguing, he felt he could play. He said:

"I bought two big bags of our factory's products yesterday and invited my friends to eat them. Everyone said they were delicious. Some people said they didn't know about such delicious food.

"Yes, how could he not know? Speaking of which, the pastries of our Yiming Food Factory are also an old brand. The reason why this old brand can become an old brand is that it tastes good, otherwise Can't survive today.

"Then since it tastes good, is an old brand, and the accountant said before, and the price is not expensive, then why is the sales not good? Why can't this old brand survive?

"Is it because everyone doesn't eat pastries anymore? That's definitely not the case. Everyone must still eat pastries, and more so than before. Otherwise, there wouldn't be more and more varieties of pastries on the market. Then there's something wrong with us. Where?

"I thought about it, and the reason is that there are more and more. Think about it, five or ten years ago, what kind of pastries would there be in that shop? There would be only one kind of cake, and there would be no more than two kinds of biscuits. There are round and square biscuits for adults, and animal biscuits for children. The other pastries are similar.

"A man ran into the store and took banknotes and food stamps to buy pastries. There were only pastries from our family in this store, and he couldn't choose if he wanted to. Besides, what should he choose? If he eats some, his life will be improved. , you still choose?

"At that time, to be honest, let alone the fact that our pastries were wrapped in straw paper, even if our pastries were wrapped in newspapers, he would still buy them. Are you right?"

The secretary smiled and said: "We actually wrapped them in newspapers. You have forgotten that the shortbread we made one year had no wrapping paper and was wrapped in old newspapers from the office."

Everyone laughed when they thought about the past. This smile improved the atmosphere in the office.
