Lai Yongxin nodded: "I've long admired your name. You saved the entire meat processing plant. People like you are the true youth of our time."

Qian Zhenming and Zhao Qian were already trembling with fear.

It's all over now, everything from before is over. It feels like cooperation is impossible now.

Sure enough, not long after they sat down, the banquet became Chen Yifei's domain.

Lai Yongxin and Jiang Ping, however, insisted on waiting, listening to Chen Yifei talk about entrepreneurship and the opportunities that were emerging.

The two listened intently and then joined the discussion. Gradually, the dinner party became a platform for everyone to express their own opinions.

Qian Zhenming waited for a while before joining in and saying a few words.

Lai Yongxin's expression turned sour afterward.

"Stop talking."

Lai Yongxin is a straightforward person: "Your viewpoint is completely wrong and lacks foresight."

“Comrade Qian Zhenming, relying on your father alone won’t work; you still have to rely on yourself. You can’t, and it’s impossible for you to, handle the transportation of this liquor.”

"Take your wife and go back to settle this matter. There's no way we can cooperate."

Qian Zhenming felt bad, but he still nodded: "Understood, Uncle Lai."

"By the way, Comrade Chen Yifei is very capable, and he's not some petty thug. Don't talk about him like that; it's disrespectful. Our cooperation is based on character," Jiang Ping continued.

Zhao Qian and Qian Zhenming were both a little embarrassed.

Zhao Qian was scared and quickly apologized to Chen Yifei and He Runqing.

"I'm so sorry! We didn't know... it would turn out like this, and we were indeed a bit thoughtless with our words."

Chen Yifei neither accepted the apology nor spoke.

Jiang Ping said, "My meat processing plant doesn't need people like that, who belittle others and put others down. If any employee can belittle someone, wouldn't they be disliked by everyone if they went to sell meat?"

"I just don't like this trend."

He said to the people around him, "Pass on the instructions, we don't need this person at the meat processing plant."

"I can't go to the cigarette factory anymore, and the meat processing plant won't take me either. What... what should I do?" Zhao Qian asked anxiously.

Looking at her husband.

Qian Zhenming shamelessly dragged the man out, saying, "I can't help it, I'm finished too! Go home."

After throwing the man out, Qian Zhenming obediently came in.

"I'm sorry everyone, today was indeed a farce. I've already paid for the meal."

"I need to go back and reflect for a while. I hope my father's relationship with Comrade Lai will not be severed."

“Of course.” Lai Yongxin nodded, continuing to eat without turning his head.

He then greeted the educated youth gently: "You've all come from other places to support the development of our Southwest, so please eat more, okay?"

He speaks very gently now, but when he spoke to Qian Zhenming and the others earlier, he showed absolutely no expression.

all in all.

The educated youth all knew who to cling to and what to do.

I used to only know that Chen Yifei did some small business, but now I know that he's doing big business.

This ability is something that no one else possesses besides him.

Wang Mei held He Runqing's hand, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "You really married the right person."

"Qingqing, I really envy you."

"When you become rich, you must not forget me! I have bad teeth, so I'm suited to being a kept man."

"Now that you have a big apartment, I can live in my doghouse and I'll be very happy. If you have a baby, I'll help you take care of the child."

Wang Mei said too much in one breath.

He Runqing laughed at this point: "It's not that exaggerated."

"No matter what, I will never forget you."

He Runqing looked at Chen Yifei, who was now speaking eloquently, with great heartache.

As I watched, I felt a dull ache in my heart.

He was very tired.

Only she knows.

No matter how hard Chen Yifei works or how much money he earns, it's all thanks to his own hard work and down-to-earth efforts.

Although He Runqing didn't know why he was so capable and knew so many things that they didn't.

But she believes there are absolutely no shortcuts, and no one can become a genius overnight.

It's because Chen Yifei worked hard enough.

She couldn't fall behind either; she had to get into university and become a woman worthy of Chen Yifei.

He Runqing thought that his biggest dream in this life was to become Chen Yifei.

This statement always holds true.

Whatever the future holds, she will hold his hand and walk with him through it all.

Others only see and admire his glamorous side.

All she wanted was to soothe his pain and exhaustion.

This is how it should be between husband and wife.

After a pleasant conversation, Chen Yifei and Lai Yongxin got along quite well.

When the topic turned to transporting the liquor to various places for sale, Chen Yifei said, "Actually, I have a friend who sells feed named Zhao Shi. He travels between the two places. When the time comes, my truck and his team can take a few truckloads of our liquor there. I also need to go there to check out the market."

Quite unintentionally, he took over the business that Qian Zhenming had wanted to do before.

Lai Yongxin nodded: "That's fine. Our winery won't contribute any money or effort. It's all up to you. If we lose money, it's your responsibility. If we make a profit, we'll split it 50/50."

"Okay." Chen Yifei was also willing to take it on.

He remembered it clearly. It was around those two years when the planned economy was implemented.

Moutai prices have dropped recently.

A bottle of Moutai sells for a few yuan.

However, in the late 1980s, the pricing power was returned to the enterprises.

Fenjiu, the leading brand in the liquor industry, occupies half of the market.

At that time, Moutai's strategy was to reduce profits and increase sales volume, so it did not choose to raise prices significantly.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, the low price actually lowered the brand's positioning. Although it recovered afterward, it took a lot of effort.

A decision is crucial at this time.

The period that followed was quite frustrating.

Chen Yifei looked at Lai Yongxin.

He said earnestly, "Brother, we need to make this wine a success. When we can control the pricing, we'll move into the high-end market."

"There are few people working on the high-end market, so let's seize the opportunity."

"Okay." Lai Yongxin was a little confused. Although he had thought long-term, it was still too early to talk about this now.

He felt that the future profits and earnings could be used as a benchmark, since Maotai is now considered a flagship brand.

Jiang Ping leaned closer and said to Lai Yongxin, "Just remember this. This kid is really something. He told me to keep an eye on the electrical circuits in the factory, and I did, so nothing went wrong."

"He's got some skills."

Since this kind of thing can't be explained scientifically, they don't pursue it.

Those who want to do big business must have a broad vision.

Lai Yongxin nodded: "We'll see later." He wasn't entirely convinced, but he remained cautious.

He had a good relationship with Jiang Ping, and Lai Yongxin naturally trusted the person he trusted as well.

After a few rounds of drinks, everyone started calling each other brothers.

Although the educated youth had all eaten their fill, they didn't dare to leave.
