"Second Sister-in-law, do you think we can expand our factory in the future?" Xiao Hu asked tentatively.

"How big do you want it to be?" Song Yan asked.

“At the beginning, we only had more than 10 people, and I wondered if we could have more than 100 people.”

If it really comes to 100 people, hehe, I'll definitely be greedy, I'll want 1000 people.

"Just like the money in my pocket, when I earn one dollar, I want to earn ten dollars; when I have ten dollars, I want a hundred. Even when I have a thousand dollars, I'm still not satisfied..." Xiao Hu looked at Song Yan expectantly, waiting for her to comment on his thoughts.

Song Yan thought about how to say it.

Neither of these two boys is content with the status quo; they both want to work hard. They should be given the right guidance.

Song Yan: "New policies are constantly emerging, and I estimate that the private sector will definitely be allowed to participate."

If we could have a factory with thousands or even tens of thousands of employees, it wouldn't be a dream.

But with your current abilities, could you manage 10,000 people?

If you were satisfied with a hundred or even several hundred workers, then perhaps you could manage as you are now.

If you want to grow bigger and stronger, you must work hard and learn.

"A factory with tens of thousands of employees!" To be honest, Xiao Hu couldn't even bear to think about it.

Even Youfu was stammering. "Can, can, can you run such a big factory?"

"Not for you right now!"

Your level of expertise is insufficient to manage so many people!

"You are all ignorant and lack knowledge!" Song Yan said bluntly.

Little Tiger gritted his teeth. "I'll learn!"

Chunyang kept urging me to study. I've almost finished the first-year junior high curriculum. Next time, I'll study on my own initiative!

Song Yan glanced at Xiao Hu. Was Chunyang trying to get Xiao Hu to study? She was just using it as an excuse to cling to him.

Looking for all kinds of books, I entrusted this task to Xia Juntao.

Old Liao is a professor, and his son is also a university teacher. It wouldn't be difficult for them to find management books; they could easily find relevant materials.

Xiao Hu and You Fu used to live near the roast duck workshop. Now they've moved back, and since the study is empty, they've started living there.

Song Yan's own bedroom is also very spacious, so he doesn't necessarily need a study.

Third Aunt, Chunyang, and Shen Ruomei are all highly educated.

In the evening, the girls gathered around Xiaohu and Youfu, watching them study.

These two people are really putting in a lot of effort to study.

During the day, Xiaohu is busy with wholesale orders, the roast duck workshop, and factory affairs.

Xiao Hu sells goods in the morning, and I follow Xiao Hu around in the afternoon.

Those two didn't slack off at all that night. Their effort was comparable to that of someone taking the college entrance exam.

They start with academic subjects now, and then explore books on other subjects later.

They are not unintelligent, and they are at the right age, so they learn quite quickly.

Especially for those who are fortunate, their school days were just a waste of time, and their minds were mostly idle. Only now are they starting to make use of their talents.

However, they both admitted that studying was more tiring than working.

Learning and practice are two major aids to personal growth.

Xiao Hu is now thinking about how to extend the shelf life when the weather is hot.

How can you prevent spiced melon seeds from getting damp?

Song Yan certainly didn't know much about this area, but he had at least some basic common sense. To extend the shelf life of food, the first thing to consider is the packaging.

Xiao Hu has acquired quite a few machines and is dealing with machinery factories more often now.

He went to the factory to see the machines they were producing.

Xiao Hu is a capable person; every time he goes with You Fu, they never arrive empty-handed. They always bring some freshly made biscuits or sunflower seeds and peanuts.

The machinery factory and the food factory had quite a few dealings. With their help, Xiaohu had visited the food factory many times.

Xiao Hu didn't hide his identity, saying directly that he was leading a few educated youths to work at a large state-owned factory like the "Big Brother" factory, to learn from their experience.

Xiao Hu was friendly and never came empty-handed, so he gradually became familiar with them. They often guided him in various ways, acting like older brothers.

Within a few days, Xiao Hu had figured out exactly how they packaged the products and where they bought the packaging machines.

With the Chinese New Year approaching, every household, regardless of size, will buy some melon seeds, and those with better financial means will also buy some peanuts.

Because there were also dried sweet potatoes on display in the store.

It has a bright golden color and looks beautiful.

A sweet potato strip is cut into many small pieces and arranged on a plate for everyone to try.

Some people are greedy for cheap deals, but most people will buy some after trying it.

People who buy pastries sometimes also buy some melon seeds. The shops are still offering discounts: one pound of pastries costs only half a pound of grain coupons. Two pounds of pastries cost one pound of grain coupons.

If you're buying sunflower seeds, you might also want to buy some dried sweet potatoes or peanuts.

In just a few days, the pastry shop gained a good reputation. You really shouldn't underestimate the power of word-of-mouth from those middle-aged women.

The pastry shop was quite simple, just a small storefront. The white wall in front of the storefront simply had the four characters "Pastry Shop" written on it.

Because the food in the shop was made with high-quality ingredients and tasted very good, it sold very well. Xiao Hu quickly decided to rent another shop.

The storefront isn't very big, and the rent isn't expensive, but we can't just keep going without a name; we have to come up with one eventually.

These ten little tigers then approached Song Yan. Song Yan really wasn't good at this.

My aunt asked from the side, "Are you planning to focus mainly on northern-style pastries or southern-style pastries?"

Xiao Hu: "I've never been to the South either. What I'm making now are the kinds of snacks that we eat in the North."
