Chapter 102 Exclusive Launch on Jinjiang
"Mom, you won't be angry if I sell the factory in the future, will you?" Su Ruyi asked weakly.
Su Ruyi currently has no such plans. She still has a deep affection for the factory. From initially just dabbling in it, she now wants to develop it properly and make a name for herself.
However, Su Ruyi knows herself well; she doesn't like being constrained.
To become a factory leader, one needs to spend time and energy managing production, as well as engaging in external communication and dealing with various business dealings.
Especially since her factory is located in a small county town, maintaining various interpersonal relationships is even more important to avoid a lot of trouble. The smaller the place, the more serious the social dynamics become.
The factory's external environment is currently quite good. The county is vigorously developing its economy, and she has secured a position with the textile factory. However, this does not mean that things will remain the same in the future.
The leadership team will change, and the same team will have different requirements at different times. When that time comes, the business environment may not be as good.
By that time, her interest had waned, and she had even less inclination to deal with it.
She still prefers to work for half the year or even less, and spend the rest of the time traveling, playing games, etc. Although she needs career achievements, she is not very ambitious and is content with a modest life.
She does what she wants to do, and rests or has fun when she doesn't want to.
Therefore, Su Ruyi knew very well that in a few years, while the factory was still doing well, she would sell it and leave.
"If you want to do something, just do it. Make sure you don't regret it later. As long as you don't break the law or break the rules, and you can take responsibility for your actions, Mom will support any idea you have."
Su Ying never demanded that Su Ruyi follow the same path as her. Everyone has their own way of life. As a mother, all she could do was leave her child a way out. How her child should choose to go was her own business.
Su Ruyi couldn't help but smile. No matter which world Su Ying was from, she was always so open-minded.
They strive for excellence and are the best of the best, but they never expect their daughter to be the same.
When Su Ruyi failed the high school entrance exam, Ms. Su Ying, knowing that she did not want to repeat a year, suggested that she explore other avenues, showing great respect for Su Ruyi's wishes.
With Ms. Su Ying's support, Su Ruyi's anxiety disappeared.
She, Su Ruyi, is still the same Su Ruyi, resolutely implementing the landlady policy, as long as everything else is just so-so.
That's what they said, but the next day Su Ruyi followed Ms. Su Ying everywhere, doing things like moving, accounting, and sales. Wherever there was work, she was taken along. Sometimes, Ms. Su Ying even helped Su Ruyi resolve various disputes. Su Ruyi had been eating her fill of gossip these past few days. She was dragged into all sorts of ridiculous things, like fathers-in-law and daughters-in-law getting together. Her workload was even higher than when she was in Qing Province.
Her mother didn't treat her like a child, but she didn't treat her like a human being either.
When she left, Su Ruyi took ten train cars full of fruit and dried fruit with her; this was part of her sales quota.
Ms. Su Ying said that she is also one of the shareholders of the dried fruit factory, and she cannot just think about making money while lying down; she also has to share some of the responsibilities.
As for fresh fruit, Ms. Su Ying ignored it. Since she was selling it anyway, what difference did it make what she sold?
Su Ruyi had no objection to this, as she had originally planned to come back this time to help her mother.
Ms. Su Ying had already arranged transportation from the village to the train station, and Lu Ting had connections for train freight.
Lu Ting has always had connections in the railway sector, and recently he helped build a house for a retired senior leader of the railway bureau, which further strengthened their relationship.
Su Ruyi was willing to spend money, so the transportation route was opened up.
Because of the long transportation and turnaround time, Su Ruyi only brought dried fruit and bananas. The mangoes were still unripe when they were picked, but they would ripen after a few days when they arrived in Qing Province.
If it were other fruits, they would have spoiled long ago without cold chain transportation, but the cost of using cold chain would be frighteningly high.
Lu Ting booked three train cars directly. He actually wanted to book them all, not purely to support Su Ruyi, but also because he had a place to use them.
Su Ruyi wanted to try to open up the market herself, since relying solely on internal consumption was not a long-term solution.
Their products are of good quality, but due to transportation costs, the prices are somewhat expensive. However, Su Ruyi believes they still have a good market potential.
Su Ruyi did not handle the matter herself, but instead entrusted it to Li Guangqian.
After visiting Guangzhou, Li Guang decided to move to the provincial capital and give up his current sure-fire hula hoop business.
Su Ruyi has now handed over the entire hula hoop business to Li Guangqian, who receives a share of the profits, and his monthly income is not low.
But he still gave up and wanted to come out and see.
Staying in one place for too long is too comfortable, especially since the hula hoop market is still booming and there's no shortage of customers; customers are always chasing after you to buy them, so you get less exercise.
Li Guangqian clearly realized the gap between himself and Luo Youqiong during this trip.
The young man, full of fighting spirit, was immediately filled with determination and didn't want to continue like this.
Li Guangqian said, "I don't want to be left behind."
Su Ruyi then transferred him to Qing Province, and found someone else to take charge of the hula hoop business.
The agency business already has a fixed model, so it's not difficult to find a suitable person to manage it.
Li Guangqian took his two brothers to the provincial capital. One of them was one of Fang Yongnian's men, but since they both followed Su Ruyi, they were no longer at odds with each other and usually played together.
We didn't have any deep-seated hatred for each other. We had a meal together and became good friends.
Li Guangqian did not bring his grandmother and younger sister with him at the moment.
Before leaving, he installed a telephone at home and had his brothers help look after things so he could come back quickly if anything happened.
The garment factory has trucks delivering goods to the provincial capital almost every week, making the round trip very convenient.
Li Guangqian and his two companions lived in the dormitory at the new storefront, which also served as a safety measure for the store.
The clothing store's employees are all girls, and it's still somewhat unsafe for only girls to live upstairs these days.
Li Guangqian ate a lot and grew a full ten centimeters in the past year, and is now 1.82 meters tall. He has also been learning martial arts from the Zhu family father and son, and looks very strong. No one dares to mess with him.
Because of his business dealings, he has a mature demeanor, and you wouldn't guess he's just turned eighteen.
People of this age are at their most energetic. Before Su Ruyi's goods even arrived, they had already surveyed all the shops in the provincial capital.
Li Guangqian even negotiated with several shops, agreeing to consign the goods as soon as they arrived.
Su Ruyi was full of admiration upon hearing this. People nowadays are so energetic, daring to think and act.
Due to limited resources, all the dried fruit produced by the fruit factory is sold in bulk and does not come in individual packaging bags.
Su Ruyi didn't want to take up too much space and weight, so she transported all the dried fruit to Qing Province for repackaging.
The plastic bags for the outer packaging were purchased directly from Lu Ting's plastic factory. Although the plastic factory is not worried about business now because of the hula hoop, it is still constantly researching new products.
Wei Dongsheng set his sights on food packaging bags and introduced new machines and technologies.
Before going home, Su Ruyi ordered self-sealing bags from Ma Dongsheng, and the cover was also specially designed.
Nowadays, self-sealing packaging is rarely used for food. Once torn open, it can't be closed again and needs to be clipped back on. This is fine in the north, but in the south, sunflower seeds, potato chips, and the like will get soggy in no time.
This undoubtedly gave Wei Dongsheng a new idea, and he was very happy to study it.
Su Ruyi never expected that in such a short time, and she had no hope, but when she returned, she found that the research had already been completed and production had begun.
"Old Wei is a real man of action," Su Ruyi exclaimed.
Overall, Qing Province was less efficient than the South. Even private factories in Qing Province did not operate as quickly as those in the South.
The plastic factory was an exception. The hula hoop market was booming, but he had already planned ahead, believing that the market would not be hot for long. If he did not prepare new products in advance, it would be too late when the market reacted.
Lu Ting: "We suffered a great loss before, and the factory almost went bankrupt. Now we've been able to turn things around, and we're much more proactive than before."
Su Ruyi also delegated the repackaging work to the plastics factory.
The plastics factory has already partially relocated, leaving some houses available. However, many employees and their families have not yet moved in, and family members can be spared to help.
If there aren't enough people, we can recruit from Tongdahua Village.
Let's make do for now this year. If we can open up the market, we'll make more specific arrangements.
The new storefront officially opened on September 1st. The store is located in a corner of the commercial street, but because it is the tallest building on the commercial street, it is very eye-catching and hard to miss.
In particular, two huge posters are hung on its side wall, which are extremely eye-catching and hard to ignore.
Compared to Luo Youqiong's bright and distinctive posters, Zhu Qiang's posters are undoubtedly extremely individualistic and fashionable in this era.
The slogan is very direct: "Ruyi Apparel, the main focus is on coolness." The word "cool" is highlighted so that people can see it from afar.
The moment I saw the poster, I immediately understood the meaning of the word and the style it represented.
On the opening day, the performances were changed from the traditional lion dance to street dance, breakdancing, and performances of popular songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Li Guang was the one who made these contacts. Su Ruyi didn't know how someone who had just arrived in Qing Province could know these people.
The dancers wore clothes from the store, which Su Ruyi personally styled.
At first, they were a little reluctant. These people were very individualistic and didn't want to wear tacky clothes and make their performance look tacky.
But when Su Ruyi took out the clothes, they had no further objections and all thought they were very beautiful. They expressed their desire to exchange the clothes for the reward they were wearing.
Hearing this, Su Ruyi felt even more confident and gave it all away with a wave of her hand, causing the group to cheer.
Their dancing was seen as a waste of time by their families, especially the dances they performed, which were considered chaotic and disorderly by older people.
Being invited to perform is a huge affirmation for them, so they danced with extra effort, wanting to show their best side to everyone.
On the opening day, a large number of people gathered, crowding the entrance.
Such performances are still rare nowadays, and many people come to join in the fun, with some even climbing trees along the roadside to watch.
After the performance, many people, thinking they were already there, went inside to take a look.
As soon as I got closer, I was drawn to the sign at the entrance that said "Big Sale!" A piece of clothing was only 8.8 yuan!
