Lu Qiuying fell into deep thought. By this calculation, the cooperation between S Appliances and the Appliance City was a win-win situation.

Previously, they were only willing to resell products that were about to be discontinued in China, but this time the number of pre-orders for the new products far exceeded expectations, and they will seize the opportunity to open up the Chinese market.

"Their new products are too expensive, and their target audience will be a very small segment."

"Electrical products aren't something you replace frequently, so it's hard to say what sales will be like in the future," Lu Qiuying questioned.

There aren't many people who can afford imported new products right now, so she's taking a wait-and-see approach.

Lin Ziyan rested her chin on her hand and looked up at her, "Sister Qiuying, have you ever thought that there will be more and more rich people, and the demand will be greater and greater?"

Lu Qiuying, "..."

Lin Ziyan continued, "For example, in Haibi Village, according to the sales data from the electronics market, more than 10 households in the village have already bought color televisions."

Last year, the entire village had fewer than 10 bicycles.

"Washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners will be installed in every household in the future. Do you think S Appliances' marketing department didn't anticipate this?"

Lu Qiuying pursed her lips. She hadn't paid attention to the changes in Haibi Village, but thinking back, many households in the village were building houses.

After the house is built, you will definitely need to buy appliances, furniture, and so on.

First it was Haibi Village, then the other fishing villages...

As she thought about it, her heart suddenly raced. This change happened without her realizing it; the construction of the port spurred the development of the nearby villages.

Lu Qiuying suddenly stood up. In less than a year, the changes were so obvious. What would happen after that?

On the other side, the Chen family was also marveling at this change.

Uncle Chen lay on the rattan chair, with the electric fan blowing, watching the images on the color television, and couldn't help but hum a little tune.

Aunt Chen placed the dishes on the table, just in time to hear him humming a tune. "Humming while watching TV? I see you're not watching the news, you're just listening to the sound."

She smiled, seemingly unconcerned about the deeper wrinkles around her eyes.

They emptied their savings and invested everything in the electronics store, without any worries.

The shrimp farm brings in a considerable amount of income every month, and Aunt Chen also receives a salary and dividends from the shrimp paste factory.

The chubby girl earns a good amount of money each month with her salary and commission, and her son-in-law is hardworking and diligent, so they don't have to worry about their daughter's life after marriage.

"I feel so good, I can even wake up laughing in my dreams now." Uncle Chen got up and pressed her down to sit, while he went to get rice.

Aunt Chen glanced at the appliances in the main room, and the smile on her lips widened.

I never dared to dream of living like this before; I can truly wake up laughing in my dreams.

The new shrimp paste factory has officially opened, and orders have surged again.

"Mom, I'm back for a free meal." The chubby girl walked into the main room, quickly picked up her chopsticks, and put a piece of meat in her mouth.

Cao De went to deliver goods to the county and won't be home for lunch.

The chubby girl was too lazy to cook, so she simply brought meat home and ate there for free.

Aunt Chen glanced at the meat in her hand, her lips twitching. Since when did her daughter learn to bring meat home?

"Mom, your cooking skills have improved so much!" The chubby girl sat down and started cooking.

She looked at her younger brother sitting in front of the TV and said, "Er Gouzi, go get some rice."

Uncle Chen placed two bowls of rice on the table, then kicked his son, saying, "Go get your rice, or I'll unplug the TV."

Aunt Chen wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words back.

We can't raise a lazy son, otherwise he'll become a freeloader, and we'll be the ones who have to foot the bill.

What daughters could do, sons can do as well.

When Er Gouzi heard that he was told to unplug the appliance, he immediately got up and ran to get some rice.

"Daughter, you seem to have gained quite a bit of weight recently." Uncle Chen said, glancing at his daughter as he ate heartily.

The chubby girl said, "Your eyesight is bad; I've lost weight recently."

Aunt Chen, "..."

She glared at her daughter, how could she speak ill of her own father like that?

The chubby girl ignored her and continued, "Dad, Ayan said we can raise crayfish in several ponds, and it would be best to add some mantis shrimp as well. I think that's a good idea."

“Recently, Sister Ling’s shrimp farm has been very busy, with out-of-town bosses coming to place orders every day.”

Uncle Chen opened the newspaper that had been delivered that morning and casually gave a reply.

He now basically hands over the management of the shrimp farm to his son-in-law, and only needs to lend a hand occasionally.

The chubby girl leaned over to look at the newspaper, but when she didn't find anything related to Fuzhou, she lost interest in continuing.

Recently, her family has not only subscribed to newspapers, but her father also has to rush home every night to watch the Fuzhou City News.

“Girl, look at this factory, what’s it called? Why would they want to build a factory in Fuzhou?” Uncle Chen pointed to the news in the international section.

The chubby girl shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice down her throat. "T Group? Never heard of it."

"It would be strange if you'd even heard of it. Look closely, this is the international section," Uncle Chen retorted casually.

He continued reading, and although he couldn't understand some of the English, it didn't stop him from reading the whole article.

This report says that the T Group is going to open a factory in China, with Fuzhou as its first choice.

…

Lin Ziyan also saw this news, but she frowned after reading it.

Given T Group's marketing tactics, they shouldn't have revealed this at this point.

Could something unexpected have happened?

When she got home, she went straight upstairs to check if there were any faxes from Germany.

"Sister, the paper on your table is moving."

Just as Lin Ziyan went upstairs, Jiaojiao, who was playing in the sand on the terrace, said something.

She glanced up briefly, then continued piling sand.

Lin Ziyan strode into the house, tore off the fax paper, and her expression changed slightly after reading the contents.

As expected, T Group ran into trouble.

Before she could think any further, there was a knock on the door downstairs.

"Mr. Lin, are you home?"

Knock, knock,

There was no one in the yard; Grandma had gone to water the vegetable garden and hadn't returned yet.

Looking out the window, Lin Ziyan could only see a pair of black leather shoes.

A dark glint flashed in her eyes. She made a phone call to the seafood market before going downstairs.

"I clearly saw someone enter the Lin family just now, could I have been mistaken?"

A murmur came from the doorway.

Lin Ziyan opened the door and saw the two people sitting on the stone stool. Her eyes twitched.

She wondered who it was, but it turned out to be Boss Wang and the others who had been taken away by the police earlier.

"Is there something you need?" Lin Ziyan walked out of the door and closed it behind her.

She looked at the group with a blank expression, somewhat admiring their shamelessness.

What happened just a few days ago?

Lin Ziyan didn't think there was anything worth talking to them about.

"Mr. Lin, we're here to discuss cooperation," Mr. Wang said with a smile, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.

Luo Shisan chimed in, "We are sincere this time."

After saying that, they prepared to give the gifts they had brought to Lin Ziyan.

Lin Ziyan did not accept it, but instead took two steps away to keep her distance from the group.

Actually, it was Brother Jian who signed the agreement with them; she didn't have much contact with the others.

"Boss Wang, what do you mean by this?" Lin Ziyan asked knowingly, her expression remaining calm.

Do they think she can let bygones be bygones after what happened last time?

Several people surrounded her, and Lin Ziyan kicked one of them away, her eyes instantly turning cold.

"Outnumbered people bullying out fewer people?" Lin Ziyan sneered.
