“Dad, the production line isn’t important, the brand is.” Jiang Xia said, filling his father-in-law’s glass with wine.
The core of a toy race car is undoubtedly a powerful motor, but a toy company is not good at producing motors specifically for racing cars. This part of the work can be outsourced to relevant partner manufacturers, while the company itself mainly acts as an end assembler that controls the quality of parts.
Finally, add the official partner brand information. Give others a small share and keep the lion's share for yourself. Perfect.
Having worked in the toy industry for so many years, Lin Gaoyuan understood this statement immediately. He was very clear about the meaning of a brand. Of the 100% of the selling price, only 20% might be his own, with the rest going to the brand owner.
Jiangxia's goal is to create an official brand for four-wheel drive racing cars; all others are just generic brands.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lin Gaoyuan tilted his head back and finished his drink again. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that his son-in-law was so outstanding, almost like a prodigy. Not only was he good at making animations, but he also had such a keen eye for related products.
If it weren't for the fact that I have a young daughter, I would really like to hand over the factory to him as well. I could retire early and go fishing with my in-laws and old classmates in my spare time. Wouldn't that be a wonderful, leisurely life?
"There's no rush. The animation project for Let's & Go!! is still in preparation, and the car design drawings haven't been finalized yet."
“Okay, just send me the blueprints and tell me which parts you need so I can find suppliers to work with in advance,” Lin Gaoyuan said.
The father-in-law and son-in-law chatted about the company's development while drinking, and Xia Shanshan also asked her daughter-in-law with a smile about her life in the capital over the past year.
"Mom, if you and Dad have nothing to do during the summer vacation, you can go to Beijing for a trip," Lin Yanwan said with a smile.
"No, no, you're all so busy. Besides work, you also have to study. I don't want to trouble you." Xia Shanshan immediately shook her head.
“I already said it’s summer vacation, the kids are all on holiday, what’s wrong with inviting us to come and have some fun?” Jiang Wende chewed on peanuts and said, “We’ll just have fun on our own when we get there, we don’t need to bother them.”
"Go by yourself if you want to."
"Don't you really want to go see what your son's company looks like?"
Hearing him say that, Xia Shanshan was somewhat tempted. After all, her son had built such a large company from scratch, and even if she, as his mother, didn't care much about work, she still had to go and take a look.
“Then let’s go during the summer vacation.” She paused, then continued, “when they’re not busy.”
Lin Yanwan nodded with a smile: "You can come anytime."
She then turned to Ji Wanqiu and asked, "Mom, do you want to come along? How about taking Xiaoman to the capital for a summer vacation?"
Ji Wanqiu glanced at Lin Gaoyuan, her heart filled with slight hesitation. She wanted to go, but the company would definitely be very busy during the summer vacation.
“Since our daughter has invited you, Wanqiu, why don’t you take Xiaoman with you? It’s a good opportunity for everyone to get out and relax, and let Xiaoman see the big city. I’ll take care of things at the company, it’s fine,” Lin Gaoyuan said with a smile.
During the financial crisis, the toy factory received no orders for a long time, the company's cash flow dried up, and it almost went bankrupt. He struggled to survive back then, let alone now that things are getting better and better.
"Mommy, Mommy, I want to see the Great Wall!" Xiaoman said with her big eyes full of hope.
Ji Wanqiu gently patted Xiaoman's head and deliberately said, "Want to see the Great Wall? Sure, if Xiaoman can get first place in the final exam, I'll take you there."
"That simple?" Xiaoman blinked and said, "Xiaoman is now the top student in the class, you can ask Xia's mother if you don't believe me."
"It doesn't count now; only the final exam results will count."
"Hehehe, I'll definitely get first place in the final exams! I'm definitely going to the Great Wall!"
Watching the adorable conversation between the mother and son, Xia Shanshan smiled without saying a word; this kind of education was excellent.
"Brother-in-law, do we need to take a plane to go to the capital?" The sister-in-law tugged at Jiang Xia's sleeve and asked the same question again.
"Yes, airplanes can fly very, very high." Jiang Xia nodded with a smile.
"Taller than a Ferris wheel?"
"Higher than the clouds," he said very seriously.
"Wow!"
Xiaoman exaggeratedly cupped her face in her hands. Given her current experience, it was hard for her to imagine what it would be like for an airplane to fly higher than the clouds.
"Xiaoman wants to take a plane, Xiaoman wants to take a plane!" She quickly ate two bites of food, then put down her chopsticks and ran to her room.
"Xiaoman, aren't you going to eat?" Ji Wanqiu asked.
"Xiaoman is full. Xiaoman is going to study. She must get first place in the final exam!"
Hearing her earnest tone, the people at the table couldn't help but burst into laughter; it was just too funny.
After a lively family dinner, the young couple felt they had made up for not being able to go home and reunite with their parents during the Chinese New Year.
"Are you staying here tonight, or coming back with us?" Xia Shanshan asked her son quietly.
Ah, this...
Jiang Xia glanced at his wife subconsciously. In principle, the two were already engaged and had been living together for a long time, so they could sleep together.
But when they thought about how long it had been since they had spent quality time with their parents, they shook their heads and said, "Let's go back to sleep. Yanwan must have a lot to say to her parents too."
Upon hearing this, Xia Shanshan's lips curled up slightly, clearly pleased.
"Then let's go home!"
At 10 p.m., the two families slowly said goodbye. Jiang Xia found Lin Yanwan and said, "Wife, we'll be separated for the next few days. You should spend some time with Mom and Dad."
"Okay." Lin Yanwan nodded gently; that was what she thought too.
After all, the two of them had been sleeping together every night since they arrived in the capital, so there was no rush.
She took her in-laws to the garage. Jiang Wende finally bought a Hyundai last year. To avoid being too bored, he usually only worked half a day and drove out fishing in the afternoon. When it was time for school to end, he would pick up Xia Shanshan from school.
They lived a very comfortable life, which made Lin Gaoyuan extremely envious.
He had such a son, and from then on, he had no more pressure in his life, and could live however he wanted.
On the drive home, Jiang Wende casually asked, "Did you get your driver's license at school?"
"I took the exam and bought a cheap car for commuting between school and work," Jiang Xia said, looking out at the night market.
"Hmm...you're a very busy person now, you should buy it."
He pursed his lips: "I see that housing prices are rising quite fast now. If you have some spare money, why don't you buy a house in the capital first? I guess you and Yanwan won't go back to your hometown to develop after graduating from university."
Jiang Wende figured that the two of them would probably get married around the time they graduated from university, and they wouldn't be able to do without a wedding house.
"Dad, I know what I'm doing."
