Chapter 224 The First Root
For Li Yang, if he could get this matter done in one go, he would save himself a lot of worries later on.
In Wang Cuiping's opinion, if Xue Ning doesn't get married, she will be very sad when she gets older.
Not just in terms of money, but more in terms of spirit.
Li Yang not only has a job, but also a family. They may also devote more affection to Li Yang's children, or they may be too old to provide any emotional value to Xue Ning.
And they must have died earlier than Xue Ning. What if they died?
How lonely will Xue Ning be then? Looking around, there is no one who can accompany her for the rest of her life.
As for the children, they will have their own families by then and may have to struggle to make a living, so the amount of care they can receive is limited.
It would be better if I had a daughter. She could marry into a good family and I would have more free time to spend with her.
If I had a son, and he got sick and had to be hospitalized, could I still count on him to take care of me? Or my daughter-in-law? I couldn't count on him at all.
Li Yang said, "Mom, I think Sister Ning is right about this. Of course, I agree with you. But relationships are something that can't be forced. If Sister Ning is willing to find someone, then go find someone. If she's not willing..."
"You have to look for it even if you don't want to..." Wang Cuiping added.
Li Yang asked, "Mom, if you don't want to find one, why bother to suffer that injustice? If the man can really impress Sister Ning, she would go without you saying anything. You can't accept anyone just to get married, right? A marriage that is forced is bound to be a mess. Sister Ning is such a person that she won't tell the family if she's wronged. It's better for her to stay at home with you, at least she won't be wronged."
"What will we do in the future? When we are old..."
"Then you should keep Sister Ning by your side. I have a lot of work to do and I don't know how many days I can stay at home throughout the year. I feel relieved if Sister Ning is by your side to take care of you."
Wang Cuiping: "You sound good, but who will take care of her in the future?"
Li Yang: "As for me, when Sister Ning gets older, I will retire. Even if I can't take good care of people, I still have my son and daughter, they have to be taken care of, right? Besides, I can't afford a caregiver. When I retire, I will move in with Sister Ning, talk to her, find someone to serve her, and make sure she is never wronged at any time."
"What if you go bankrupt?"
Li Yang: “…”
She is truly my own mother.
He said helplessly: "Then how about this, while I still have money, I will take out a sum of money every year to share with you, and Sister Ning will also have a share. I guarantee that in three to five years, it will be enough for you to spend for the rest of your lives. Is that okay?"
"That's what you said, not me."
Wang Cuiping didn't dare to say anything like asking her son to raise a goddaughter. Asking him to help prepare a dowry was already the limit.
No matter how rich Li Yang is, they cannot use Li Yang's money to give to Xue Ning. In this matter, only Li Yang can take the initiative to ask for it.
"Yes, yes, I said it."
Li Yang just needed this excuse.
By this time, the emotional value that Xue Ning provided to his parents had already reached a transcendent level, and he was happy with it.
He and Jiang Banxia were destined not to stay at home often, so he couldn't just drag Bai Qing back to accompany them, right? That would be even more troublesome.
For Wang Cuiping, this result was not unacceptable. After all, her son was willing to do it. She did not have to bear any pressure and could live happily.
"But let me make it clear first, if Ningning meets someone she likes, they can get married at any time."
"No problem. As long as Sister Ning is willing, I will give you the conditions I promised you before, until I go bankrupt."
Wang Cuiping: "Then you should go bankrupt a few years later..."
Li Yang: “…”
…
In the afternoon, Li Yang had nothing to do, and he had no chance to find Xue Ning, so he simply started contacting a headhunting company. Green Water World needed a professional general manager, and they needed the help of that professional general manager to build the entire supermarket system.
He also has to go to Fuguang Group. He has ordered a batch of products in the past two days, all of which will be future internet celebrity products, and he needs Fuguang Group to prepare for production.
Of course, part of it will definitely be handed over to the Green Water Group. After all, the Green Water Group is originally engaged in food processing. It can open several factories in several nearby counties and provide a lot of employment for local people.
Food is evolving every year. The internet-famous food in the past two years is meat floss pie, but it has gradually begun to fall from its pedestal.
The era of food internet celebrities will begin in the next few years. After the era begins, many food processing factories will become OEM factories for internet celebrity brands.
Are products from the Internet celebrity era better? No, they are more expensive!
For example, a certain brand of snail rice noodle that currently sells for four yuan will gradually increase in price to seven yuan, ten yuan, twelve yuan, fifteen yuan, etc. in the next few years...
Internet celebrity products are not cost-effective, but too many people have entered the marketing market, coupled with various private price limit agreements, causing the prices of all products on the market to rise wildly.
Even many big brands have begun to cooperate with Internet celebrities and signed price limit agreements with merchants on major platforms, and the ex-factory prices have been raised a lot.
The reason is that the profits brought by internet celebrities are too huge!
If we distribute the product on the market, we can sell one million bags of snail noodles a year. If we hire internet celebrities to promote the product, we can sell three million bags of snail noodles a year.
In the past, when distributing goods online and offline, we had to reduce profits in order to sell goods, and use low prices to attract customers. The factory price was three yuan, and the average selling price might be only three and a half yuan.
However, after being promoted by internet celebrities, the product’s factory price of three yuan can be sold at an average price of seven or ten yuan.
Even if you give the internet celebrity a 20% commission, it is still more than what you earn before, because the money is paid by consumers anyway.
Aren’t consumers meant to be cheated?
Li Yang didn't have any thoughts on this phenomenon. It's a two-way street.
He was more concerned about what would happen after this incident...
There are more and more internet celebrity products, and consumers’ desire to buy them is getting stronger and stronger.
In the past, many people had no idea that such snacks existed in the world.
Maybe everyone has eaten pickled pepper chicken feet, but at this time, sour and spicy boneless chicken feet are less popular.
Spicy and sour boneless chicken feet will become the leader of Internet celebrity products in the future. The national sales of this single product amount to 6.5 billion yuan a year.
After the storage methods were updated, more and more snacks were turned into Internet celebrity products.
Many things that can only be eaten at small vendors can be put in your own refrigerator.
These internet celebrity products are needed by consumers because they are more in line with consumers' eating habits.
The operation of an internet celebrity is actually no different from investing.
Some people invest just for the huge short-term profits. They don't care what the market will be like in the future, as long as they can sell the goods and make money in the short term.
The price limit agreement can package an eyebrow pencil that costs only a few dollars as seventy or eighty yuan, and you won’t even be able to find a store on the entire Internet that sells lower prices than those of the internet celebrities.
It is easy to recognize brands of cosmetics and skin care products, and Li Yang is too lazy to get involved, but when it comes to food, the brand effect will be much weaker.
In the future, internet celebrities will increase the popularity of those products, and he will prepare in advance and reap those markets, killing two birds with one stone.
The internet celebrity model will seriously lower the consumer credibility of the entire market. Some of them have no bottom line and will make consumers afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once.
Li Yang is one of them.
No matter what he bought on Douyin, he would always run into scams, so he decided to give up on that thing.
Even some well-known large teams do not sell products at a good value for money.
They say it's the lowest price on the Internet, and when I search, it's indeed true.
But damn, before you entered the market, the price of that product was even lower than it is now.
You may not mind it once or twice, but after too many times, you will either find that you cannot afford it, or find that the price is outrageous and the cost performance is extremely poor.
This mentality is no different from being robbed.
Healthy competition in the market is destroyed. Internet celebrity products attract too much attention, which will lead to the bad money driving out the good money. After the fermentation, it will hit consumer confidence.
Li Yang experienced those dark years when goods in the market were not selling and countless businesses went bankrupt.
In order to survive, internet celebrity products have no choice but to lower their quality, and major platforms turn a blind eye to this for the sake of sales, with no supervision at all.
This has contributed to the popularity of Pang Donglai, although Pang Donglai’s products are not cheap.
Based on service and quality, they turned their supermarket into a scenic spot. This shows that consumers are not stupid, they are willing to pay for service and quality.
That is what is called: awakening!
Li Yang must take over the traffic of this part of "awakeners" and provide them with better products and more cost-effective services.
Deploy internet celebrity products to create tastes more suitable for young Chinese people.
…
I didn't have time to go to Jiying Automobile, and it was already very late when I finished all these.
At around six o'clock, when he came back, he saw his mother preparing a sumptuous dinner.
The morning meal was a little simple due to time constraints, and I didn’t have the chance to make many good things.
Li Yang came over to take a look and complained, "Mom, you don't make so much at home. I haven't eaten these seafood before."
"We don't sell it at home. Jiangbei is a big city, and there are a lot of fresh seafood for sale. These are what Ningning likes to eat."
“I like to eat, too.”
After saying that, Li Yang tried a piece.
Wang Cuiping didn't say anything to him, after all, she loved her son just as much.
only……
"Wash your hands at least..."
"Wash it after you finish eating, otherwise it will get dirty again. By the way, where's Dad?"
Li Yang didn't see Li Likun, he only saw Xue Ning sitting on the sofa watching TV, drinking a bowl of soup.
"I went downstairs. I don't know what I went to do."
Li Yang wiped his hands, opened the door and walked down.
I took a look at the door of the apartment building, but didn't see my father.
Then he walked around and finally saw a sneaky figure in a corner.
Seeing Li Yang coming over, Li Likun quickly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, stepped on it a few times, and said awkwardly: "Why did you come down?"
"I'm calling you back home for dinner, Dad... You don't have to come here if you want to smoke, right? Just find a bedroom with the door closed and the window open. Isn't that what we always do at home?"
"Oh no, I can't do that now. Pregnant women can't smell any cigarettes... I just held it in too hard today. This is the first one..."
