Chapter 207 The Dream Maker Attacks the Middle-aged Man
…
Kunshan, Bacheng Town.
Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are a local specialty.
Li Xiaoqin's parents used to be in the hairy crab business.
However, few people know that the grapes here are also unique.
Lu Feng’s grandmother’s family has been growing grapes in Bacheng Town for generations.
When Lu Feng was a child, his biggest impression of his grandmother's house was that once summer vacation came, there were always endless grapes to eat every day.
The grapes from my grandma's house are super big and taste super sweet.
He loves to eat.
When he was a child, his mother often scared him that eating too many grapes would cause diabetes.
This led him to come up with the strange equation that eating grapes equals diabetes.
…
Lu Feng parked the car on the side of the road.
I don’t know what day it is today, but there was a bunch of people gathered in front of my grandmother’s house, making a lot of noise, and it felt like they were going to fight.
In order to avoid harming innocent people, Lu Feng did not dare to get close. He turned around and slipped in through the back door.
There is no need for grandma to open the door.
He knew there was a key to the house, placed under a stone pier next to the back door.
My grandmother is old, and sometimes when she goes out for a walk, she forgets to bring her keys, so she puts a spare key here.
For more than ten years, this key has been lying there quietly.
It has never changed.
“Sure enough, it’s here.”
Lu Feng lowered his head and quickly found a key, and immediately smiled knowingly.
He opened the door and went in, and found that there were many people in the living room of the house.
In addition to his grandmother, his two uncles were at home and his two aunts had also returned.
Li Xiaoqin and her parents were also there.
"What's going on?"
Lu Feng thought about it and guessed that it should be related to the crab roe crisps factory he set up.
If he showed up at this time, things would probably become more troublesome.
"Xiaoqin, come to the second floor."
Lu Feng didn't say hello to anyone. He entered the house from the back door, quietly went upstairs, and then sent a text message to Li Xiaoqin.
Li Xiaoqin glanced at her phone and a smile appeared on her lips.
She had long been impatient to stay downstairs. This group of people kept arguing about share distribution, and she had no idea what they were talking about.
However, after listening for a whole morning, she roughly understood that this production capacity share was equivalent to dividing the money.
After all, crab roe cakes sell very well. They are basically sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves. The demand is completely insufficient to meet the supply. Whoever can get the goods can make money without doing anything.
In this case, it is completely risk-free arbitrage and no one is a fool.
Such quarrels have occurred frequently recently, and Li Xiaoqin is no longer surprised.
However, what was even more hateful today was that this group of people couldn't get a share from his father, so they actually ran to Lu Feng's grandmother's house to make trouble.
I guess they think that the factory belongs to Lu Feng after all, so grandma's words will have more effect.
"Dad, there are too many people here. I feel a little breathless. Let's go sit upstairs for a while."
Li Xiaoqin talked to her father and then went upstairs.
No one else thought much about it, as a little girl certainly couldn't make the decision.
The person who can make the decision on this matter is either Li Xiaoqin's father or Lu Feng's grandmother.
Both of Lu Feng’s uncles are useless.
After all, the two uncles have been doing business outside and their relationship with Lu Feng is not very good.
…
After going upstairs, Li Xiaoqin saw Lu Feng leaning on the window, secretly taking a look outside, and then quickly pulling the curtains.
This guilty look made Li Xiaoqin couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
"Xiao Qin, why are there so many people at home? What are they doing?"
Lu Feng was speechless.
He really didn't expect that things would turn out like this after he made a MV to promote the crab roe crisps.
"It's not you who caused the trouble?"
Li Xiaoqin came over and held Lu Feng's hand. Although she was complaining, the smile on her face was as sweet as honey.
Lu Feng scratched Li Xiaoqin's nose and couldn't help but joked, "Do you know how popular the brand [Qinqin] is now? Have your classmates tried to curry favor with you and called you the Crab Roe Crisp Queen?"
"What's the Krabby Patty Queen? That sounds terrible."
Although what she said was unpleasant, Li Xiaoqin couldn't help but laugh.
Because, as Lu Feng guessed, someone really called her that in the group.
After laughing for a while, Li Xiaoqin's eyes sparkled as she whispered in Lu Feng's ear: "Lu Feng, thank you. Although it was quite noisy, I feel very happy."
Although there was a lot of noise below because of what Lu Feng did, Li Xiaoqin knew that her parents were actually very happy and proud.
It’s so face-saving.
What does it mean to return home in glory?
That's it.
In the living room downstairs, those clamoring for a share were all related to them.
Or they are neighbors who grew up together. Those who are more distant can only wait outside while a bunch of people send a representative to come in for the talk.
"You're still saying thank you to me?"
Lu Feng smiled and hugged Li Xiaoqin.
As soon as he touched it, he felt something was wrong. Lu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiao Qin, I was right just now. You have gained some weight and look better than before. You need to gain some meat to look better. It's not good to be too thin."
Li Xiaoqin is the type who can eat a lot without gaining weight.
Almost the same as Yang Mi.
It was easy for her to stay slim.
But if you want to hang some meat, that's harder than climbing to the sky.
"Hehe. This summer, I didn't go out to bask in the sun. Not only did I gain weight, but I also became a lot whiter than before."
Li Xiaoqin used to have some dark feelings, and she knew it herself.
After being with Lu Feng, she learned a lot of whitening techniques, which did have some effect.
It had been two months since they last met. When Lu Feng saw her for the first time, his eyes seemed to be shining and it was obvious that he liked her very much.
This made Li Xiaoqin very happy. She smiled with her eyes curved, feeling that her two months were not wasted.
"Xiao Qin, when will we finish talking about this? I'm almost starving."
It was almost 12 o'clock, and the group of people downstairs were still arguing. Lu Feng was really speechless.
No matter how much you argue, you won't get any result.
"It will be over after 12 o'clock. They do this every time. I am almost used to it."
Li Xiaoqin said with a smile.
Although these people were noisy, they were very punctual. At 12 o'clock, when it was time for lunch, they all dispersed.
Anyway, Li Xiaoqin's family can't run away.
We are all neighbors and can come and continue the conversation at any time.
The two of them whispered something to each other again, and when it was 12 o'clock, it was indeed much quieter below, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Lu Fengcai went downstairs with Li Xiaoqin.
"Lu Feng, kid, when did you go upstairs?"
When grandma saw Lu Feng coming down from upstairs without anyone noticing, she immediately laughed.
This child is so smart, just like her.
"Grandma, I missed you."
Lu Feng went up and gave his grandmother a hug. It had been a long time since they last saw each other. The last time they met was during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination.
He stayed here for a month before going to Urumqi to find his father.
During that period, Lu Feng asked Li Xiaoqin to go out and play with him every now and then. After a month of ambiguity, Li Xiaoqin gradually became obsessed with him.
"Grandma, I brought you a lot of nourishing products for the elderly. They are all carefully selected by me. They are not the same as those advertised on TV."
"When you're done eating, remember to call me, and don't buy anything else on your own."
Lu Feng likes to watch the various daily trivia in "1818 Golden Eye" the most. Most of them are news about the elderly who lack care, buy health products indiscriminately, and then get into trouble.
"Grandma knows you are busy, it's enough if you have this intention."
My grandmother is only in her early 60s now. She was still growing grapes a few years ago. She is still in good health, but what the elderly need is care.
If Lu Feng was really eighteen or nineteen years old, he probably wouldn't be able to understand.
But now, he instantly understood the subtext of his grandmother and pulled Li Xiaoqin over: "Grandma, if I'm busy, I'll let Xiaoqin come back to see you on my behalf."
As soon as these words came out, Li Xiaoqin blushed instantly.
This is equivalent to Lu Feng making a promise directly to his grandmother.
Grandma laughed and patted Lu Feng on the shoulder: "You have been too lazy since you were a child, and now you are ordering Xiao Qin around. In the future, remember to be nice to Xiao Qin."
"Um."
Lu Feng nodded heavily.
Because it was so noisy at home, I didn’t have time to cook just now.
Fortunately, although this is a small town, the business is actually quite developed and there is a fast food restaurant not far away.
Lu Feng and Li Xiaoqin went out and packed some dishes.
The family had a great time and had lunch together.
Li Xiaoqin and her family were also there.
Although no one said anything, in their hearts they already regarded Lu Feng and Li Xiaoqin as a couple.
After dinner, Li Xiaoqin took the initiative to help her two aunts clean up the dishes.
Her little face is red, just like a little wife.
While washing the dishes, she would look back at Lu Feng from time to time, the joy in her eyes almost overflowing.
Lu Feng discussed the expansion of the crab roe crisps factory with his two uncles and Li Xiaoqin's father.
"Lu Feng, I can't handle the crab roe crisps factory by myself. Since your two uncles are back, why not ask them to come and help?"
Li Xiaoqin's father had known for a long time that once the factory was established, Lu Feng's two uncles would definitely come back to seize power.
After all, Lu Feng is the boss.
Although Lu Feng was very nice to Li Xiaoqin, he was an outsider after all.
Although he was unwilling at the moment, Li Xiaoqin's father had no choice.
"Uncle Li, you are the one who makes the decisions for this factory."
However, Lu Feng stopped his two uncles' thoughts without saying a word.
Seeing that his two uncles looked unhappy, Lu Feng continued, "Uncle, uncle, the crab roe cake business is affected by the raw materials. The annual output value can reach 100 million, which is already the limit."
Because, their crab roe crisps, as the advertising slogan says, are made with authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs.
The annual production of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs is fixed.
Therefore, the output of crab roe cakes is not only affected by the factory's production capacity, but also by the output of hairy crabs, which is a problem.
Due to this natural constraint, the crab roe cake business is destined to be a niche business.
A very unpopular track.
It is precisely because this track is relatively unpopular and no one is competing for it that Lu Feng made the Crab Roe Crisps a hit.
Now that Lu Feng has proven that the crab roe crisps business is viable, it probably won’t be long before other people in the town follow suit.
At that time, a bunch of people will scramble for the raw materials, and the price of hairy crabs will rise.
If, at this time, we continue to expand production capacity, future competition will inevitably intensify.
But if we don’t expand production capacity, the market will be taken over by others.
Caught in a dilemma.
After comprehensive consideration, Lu Feng decided that the factory still had to be expanded, but it could not be expanded blindly. It should be expanded by a maximum of twice, and the rest of the market would be left to others.
"Uncle, uncle, my dad is working on a pecan project and has received a subsidy from the province. If you are interested, you can go to my dad's place and start this business together."
"Don't worry, the pecan project is definitely more promising."
"The global market size of pecans is about 30 billion, and our domestic market size should be 10 billion. As long as we occupy the positions in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, we will have a market size of 2 billion."
"The market of 2 billion is large enough for us to take the company public."
If there is a conflict between the two uncles and Li Xiaoqin's parents, the final result will most likely lead to a conflict between Li Xiaoqin and Lu Feng.
This completely goes against Lu Feng's original intention.
He could only trick his two uncles into going over to his father's side.
If dad has a conflict with his two uncles, what does that have to do with Lu Feng?
Let his mother worry about it.
"Are you really aiming for a listing?"
If Lu Feng had said this a year ago, his two uncles would not have believed it at all.
But now, Lu Feng has single-handedly made a small crab roe crisp factory flourish, and its products are in short supply.
This forced them to believe it.
Besides, my two uncles have some idea of how big the market for crab roe cakes is.
It's really not big.
But there is great potential in the nut business.
"You can talk to my dad about the details during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
The Mid-Autumn Festival is in half a month. According to the custom of previous years, Lu Feng and his family will definitely come to grandma's house to celebrate the festival.
"That's fine."
After weighing the pros and cons for a while, the two uncles felt that it would be more reliable to do business with Lu Feng’s father.
Li Xiaoqin's father is indeed good at hairy crab farming, but he is a complete layman when it comes to doing business.
They originally wanted to intervene in the crab roe crisps factory, but they also thought that they could control Li Xiaoqin's father.
But now it seems that Lu Feng is unwilling to do so.
As long as Lu Feng doesn't let go, it's not easy for them to get involved.
After all, this matter is too unpleasant to talk about. In the eyes of outsiders, it is like the two uncles are stealing their nephew's business.
After the matter was discussed, the atmosphere became a little more lively.
The two uncles joked with Li Xiaoqin's dad for a while, talked about some interesting things from their childhood, and their relationship became much closer.
"Uncle Li, I bought you a massage chair online. It should be here soon. I'll go with you to take a look."
Lu Feng found an excuse and went home with Li Xiaoqin and her family.
Li Xiaoqin's father thought Lu Feng was just talking casually, but he didn't expect to see a big massage chair at the door.
Such a big massage chair must cost tens of thousands of dollars, right?
He himself wouldn't dare to be so extravagant.
Li Xiaoqin's father was too embarrassed to accept it, and said in embarrassment: "Lu Feng, this massage chair is quite expensive. How about you take it back to your grandma?"
How could Lu Feng take it back?
This is how he saves face for Li Xiaoqin!
At this time, Lu Feng directly changed the subject and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, there is a scenic spot by the lake. Recently, they are developing a villa project. When the company distributes dividends at the end of the year, shall we go and have a look together?"
this……
When Li Xiaoqin's father heard this, he was stunned.
Good job.
Their Li Xiaoqin hasn't even married yet, and Lu Feng has given them massage chairs and shares as gifts. Now he's directly using villas to corrupt them?
But Li Xiaoqin's father calculated carefully that if Lu Feng's Crab Roe Crisp Company continued to run like this, by the end of the year, his own dividends alone might be over a million.
Who knows, you can really go and have a look!
"Uncle Li, let's set a small goal first. We want to make you one of the top ten township entrepreneurs in the city and a provincial People's Congress representative. What do you think?"
Who says middle-aged people don’t need to dream?
When Lu Feng mentioned this small goal, Li Xiaoqin's father's eyes suddenly lit up and he was clearly very much looking forward to it.
He certainly can't do it on his own.
But Lu Feng has already proved his ability in this area to him through practical actions.
There's something to it!
"Come on, come in and have a drink with uncle."
Li Xiaoqin's father was very excited. He couldn't suppress his excitement without drinking a glass of wine.
"What are you drinking? Dad, Lu Feng still has to drive in the afternoon."
Li Xiaoqin was unwilling.
Lu Feng will go back to school with her soon. The most important thing is that the villa on Wukang Road has been renovated.
Li Xiaoqin is waiting to move into the new house tonight and officially start living together.
Dad, isn't this ruining her life?
