The 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.
After experiencing the excitement of shopping for New Year's goods, Su Wu became a homebody again.
Unfortunately, the internet is rather boring for Su Wu now, offering him very little room to express himself.
His best way to pass the time when he was bored was to code.
The clattering of keyboards echoed in the computer room like the most beautiful symphony in the world.
Su Wu, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, moved his hands like butterflies flitting among flowers, his entire being more focused than ever before.
He wants to develop a pseudo-intelligent electronic butler.
To put it bluntly, it's about using computer programs to achieve some seemingly sophisticated functions, but it actually has nothing to do with intelligence.
In order to stand out, he plans to have Ruyang Real Estate come up with the concepts of eco-friendly home and smart home.
Eco-friendly home furnishings are simply about using environmentally friendly materials and adding greenery, such as planting trees at home.
Smart home technology is an electronic central control system centered around this program, which enables various home management functions.
It can realize functions such as electronic locks, voice-activated lights, light sensors, and circuit control.
Just as Su Wu was engrossed in his work, a buzzing sound came from the computer room.
Su Wu glanced at the surveillance footage and saw that Erpi had returned, accompanied by a spirited young man.
He stopped what he was doing, saved the program he had typed, and walked out of the basement.
This young man must be the manager of his security company.
"Xiao Wu, this is Wang Bing, the cousin I mentioned to you. He's a real special forces soldier who just retired this year."
Listening to Erpi's introduction, Su Wu carefully examined the object.
Wang Bing is a little over 1.8 meters tall, with a sharp, angular face and a scar on his jaw. He exudes a calm yet ambitious aura.
"Family ties? Aren't you an orphan? Where did this family ties come from?"
"Hehe, these are also children from the orphanage. We all share the director's surname, so we're naturally from the same family."
"Since we're family, let's sit down and chat. Why make them stand?"
Su Wu was almost confused by Erpi's claim of being from the same clan; it turned out that Wang Bing was also an orphan.
This trait undoubtedly brought the three of them much closer together instantly.
Wang Bing, who was only a few years older than Su Wu, was a man of few words, but he was clearly a man of genuine character.
Su Wu was very satisfied with this person.
"Brother Bing, if you're interested, you can come and work as the manager of our Ruyang security company. The salary and benefits are negotiable."
"I can't be a manager, I can only be a team leader at most."
"If you don't want to be involved in management, then you can be the head coach, with the salary of a vice president."
Su Wu originally wanted to achieve his goal in one step, but Wang Bing was self-aware and not arrogant enough to think he could manage a company.
Erpi was delighted and laughed, "Bingzi has quite a few comrades-in-arms. Our treatment is high enough that we can definitely attract a lot of people."
“That’s great. We need a high-standard security team of 50 people to be responsible for high-level security on the one hand, and training ordinary security guards and leading and managing the team on the other.”
Su Wu, seizing the opportunity, was eager to recruit as many people as possible.
After the New Year, both electronics companies and real estate developments will need a large number of security personnel.
Wang Bing nodded solemnly upon hearing this, "I wouldn't dare say more, but I can definitely contact 30 people. By the way, boss, do you know if we hire disabled people here?"
Su Wu hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "Anyone who can take care of themselves and is willing to accept the salary is welcome to come. The salaries here will definitely be lower than yours, after all, the jobs are different."
He spoke very realistically and sincerely, explaining that his business is not a charity.
Of course, he wouldn't mind supporting a few more people if he could.
For veterans working in security, Su Wu paid a basic salary of around 2,300 yuan, which is comparable to that of civil servants in Tianjin.
If you have a physical disability, you can only do jobs like surveillance or doorman work, and the salary is at most 2,000 yuan.
Even so, such a salary is already very high, how could they possibly refuse?
With Wang Bing dealt with, Su Wu's plans for the new year were essentially complete.
The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
As the year draws to a close, Erpi is still busy until the evening.
Seeing that he had returned looking somewhat tired, Su Wu couldn't help but offer a reminder.
“Brother, we earn money so that we can enjoy life. The New Year is coming soon, so it’s time to give ourselves and the workers a holiday.”
"Starting tomorrow, all branches across the country will be closed for the holiday. We finished the last batch of goods today. Who would turn down money?"
Erpi plopped down, tossed his bag onto the coffee table, and laughed heartily.
Just kidding, their company, Ruyang, pays three times the normal wage for overtime. How many companies in China are like that?
Although he felt Su Wu was a bit wasteful, Erpi felt comfortable whenever he saw the grateful looks in the workers' eyes.
He smiled and took out a document, handing it to Su Wu. "Take a look, it will definitely surprise you."
Upon hearing this, Su Wu picked it up and examined it carefully.
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
In just one month, their nationwide sales reached a staggering 300 million bottles.
Their profits reached a staggering 250 million Dragon Coins.
Is this the allure of the Spring Festival mega sale?
Su Wu looked on in disbelief. This sales figure represented a month's worth of full-capacity production from all their factories working overtime.
Seeing his shocked expression, Erpi laughed and lit a cigarette.
"Dude, our drinks are selling like hotcakes! We can't keep up with demand, we can't keep up with demand at all!"
"We've been working overtime for the past month and a half, but we're still getting pressured to deliver every day. We simply can't keep up. Some people are even asking to pay extra to get their goods."
"Now Ruyang Beverage is completely famous, appealing to all ages. Who wouldn't buy a case for the New Year? We'll have to expand our production capacity after the New Year."
Erpi is right, they really did sell out.
With monthly sales of 300 million bottles, that's over 3 billion bottles a year, which is close to Coca-Cola's current sales volume in China.
Of course, Su Wu also knew that this was just a hot sales period during the Spring Festival, and that prices would eventually fall.
Even so, they could easily sell 1.5 billion bottles a year.
Based on this calculation, their profits for the next year could reach over 1 billion Dragon Coins.
This gave him more confidence in paying off his equipment debts.
As for Erpi's suggestion to continue increasing production capacity, Su Wu did not quite agree.
They currently have several collaborative projects under discussion.
It is estimated that the maximum production capacity after the new year can reach 400 million bottles per month, and the normal production can be maintained at 200 million bottles per month.
This production capacity is already sufficient; there's no need to expand further, as it would be counterproductive.
Of course, if someone is willing to invest in a bottling plant, that's fine too, since they won't lose out.
“I think we shouldn’t rush to build factories. In some areas, we can outsource the bottling process. There’s no need to expand blindly.”
Hearing him say that, Erpi didn't struggle anymore and decisively gave up the idea.
He laughed and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, your little bit of debt won't be a problem. We'll definitely be able to pay it off."
"Yes, I hope nothing unexpected happens," Su Wu echoed.
