It has to be said that Lin Xiaoxiao is the one who should be in charge of business. Why didn't they think of this? The thought of making several times more money from foreigners filled the brothers with a sense of pride.
The thought of spending foreigners' money in the future filled me with excitement. I couldn't wait to set up the new business line as soon as possible so I could start earning their money sooner.
Just when everyone was riding high, Lin Xiaoxiao poured cold water on their enthusiasm.
"Don't get too excited yet. My ideas are feasible. If they can appreciate my designs, I can guarantee that the profits will be considerable. However, foreigners are not stupid and won't let us fool them."
"Foreigners can investigate the market, and it's not impossible for competitors to compete with us by offering low prices to cooperate with foreigners. In this case, our green business cards, sales, production lines, and the entire process are all extremely important."
"Sometimes it's not enough to just have a good product. If we want to make money, we need to plan purposefully and think about all the details. That way, we can make sure the deal goes smoothly."
"There will be a lot of cooperation needed, and there will be quite a few difficulties. We will also need to work hard in the early stages, so everyone should be mentally prepared."
Lin Xiaoxiao thought that her words would make everyone back down, but she didn't expect that they would only be quiet for a moment and their emotions would be even higher than before.
Ren Jianguo slammed his fist on the table excitedly, “Sister-in-law, these are not problems. Where do you think needs to be rectified? We’ll rectify it. Where do we need to learn? We’ll learn it right away.”
“This is about making money from foreigners. Others want this opportunity but don’t. We can’t back down because of some difficulties. I, Ren Jianguo, must make money from foreigners, and I will make it to the death.”
Huangshan: "Yes, I've never earned US dollars before, I'm determined to give it a try."
Chen Dazhuang: "No matter what difficulties we face, come on! We're not afraid of being shot, and we can overcome anything else."
“Isn’t this a way of bringing glory to the country? I really want to do something for everyone…” Chen Dazhuang said with a sad expression.
Yes, it is sadness.
The overall tone of China today is one of bleakness. China has been the world's superpower for 5,000 years, but in recent decades, its backbone has been broken, especially during those years of hardship when the sky was always gray.
They desperately hoped that China could rise again, sit on equal footing with foreigners once more, and even return to the way things were before, when we were the ones sitting and waiting for others to come and pay homage.
After Chen Dazhuang finished speaking, the entire office fell silent. Even Lin Xiaoxiao choked up. She took two deep breaths, then suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
"Go, all of you, work hard and empty the wallets of the foreigners."
Ren Jianguo immediately chimed in: "Yes, let's do it!"
Chen Dazhuang: "Damn it, let's empty their wallets."
Huangshan: "Yes, we must have completely fooled them!!!"
"Hahaha....."
The atmosphere was initially high, but Huang Shan's words immediately broke the mood. Everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Having made this decision in their hearts, the group quickly composed themselves and began a meeting to discuss how to secure orders from foreigners. The meeting did not end until Han Qiushi came to pick up Lin Xiaoxiao.
These past few days, Lin Xiaoxiao has been going to the factory every day to work, and she and Ren Jianguo have started to work on setting up a new production line.
Lin Xiaoxiao focused most of her energy on design. As before, she was in charge of the overall direction of the new production line, while Ren Jianguo and his team were responsible for the operation and implementation.
This busy period lasted until the day before the foreign trade fair.
On this day, Lin Xiaoxiao gave everyone a day off, hoping that everyone could be in their best condition to face the foreign businessmen.
They were on holiday, and Lin Xiaoxiao was on holiday too. The weather was getting warmer day by day. As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao got up, she put away the winter bedding and put on the summer quilt. If it was cold at night, she could just snuggle into Han Qiushi's arms. This man was like a furnace every day, so there was no need to worry about her catching a cold.
These days, taking apart and washing bed sheets is still a hassle. There are no zippers anymore; they're all sewn on with needle and thread. You have to cut them open with scissors when you wash them, and then sew them back on after they're washed and dried.
Washing and removing the duvet cover is a lot of work, but luckily Lin Xiaoxiao brought the washing machine, which saved a lot of effort.
Today, Han Qiulin and his father were both off work. Seeing everyone so well-organized, Lin Xiaoxiao said they had all gone out for a walk. When they came back, they brought back a lot of meat and vegetables, as well as pig intestines and tripe.
In Beijing, offal is sold very cheaply and not many people buy it. People still prefer fatty meat and pork fat. Anything that can be associated with oil is considered top-grade meat, especially pork fat. You need connections to get it; it's not something you can just have whenever you want.
Lin Xiaoxiao bought these ingredients because she was craving something; she didn't know why, but she really wanted to eat some spicy blood curd today.
Lin Xiaoxiao brought all these things over, so the task of tidying up fell to them, while she watched them work, waiting to take charge of the cooking later.
Seeing that there would be a big meal at noon, Han Qiulin was happy to do the cleaning work, while Bai Hehua and Han's father cleaned up other things in the kitchen.
Lin Xiaoxiao was drinking tea in the living room when she suddenly remembered that she didn't have enough seasonings in the kitchen while Bai Hehua and the others were preparing the ingredients outside. She took out some broad bean paste, Sichuan peppercorns, and a hot pot base from her storage space.
The rest were things like chili peppers and cooking wine, which were already in the kitchen, so she didn't take any more.
Seeing that they still needed to tidy up for a while, Lin Xiaoxiao went to watch the washing machine, waiting for it to be washed so she could hang the sheets and duvet covers out to dry.
After finishing these things, Grandpa Han happened to come back at this time and joined in hanging up the sheets and duvet covers. Thinking that there was a washing machine, he actually went back to his room and started washing the duvet covers himself.
Seeing that they had prepared all the ingredients, Lin Xiaoxiao spent nearly half an hour in the kitchen tinkering and finally finished preparing lunch. The group of people could smell the very strong aroma in the living room. When they saw Lin Xiaoxiao bring out the spicy blood curd, they couldn't sit still and came to the dining table.
Han Qiulin was the most excited. Before the food was even served, he dipped his chopsticks into the soup. As soon as he tasted it, he exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, it has to be you! This taste went straight from the back of my neck to the top of my head!"
"It's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be," Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
But seeing the family eating so fast, Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth started watering. She didn't even bother to say anything, and just picked up her chopsticks and added them to the rice.
After lunch, Lin Xiaoxiao went back to her room to sew a quilt. After finishing, she took a nap and went out to pour herself a glass of water. She saw two more people in the yard. When she went out to take a look, she found that they were her neighbors, the Yang family.
The Yang family and the Han family don't usually have much contact; they just exchange greetings when they happen to meet. Why would they come to their door today?
