At the beginning of 1983, the central government issued Document No. 1, which encouraged contracting. So in order to gain greater control over the factory, Pei Zheng applied to the commune for contracting.
After several rounds of meetings and discussions, the commune finally agreed and discussed the contract terms with Pei Zheng.
After successfully contracting the factory, Pei Zheng began to make great plans. That year, he alone earned 60,000 yuan.
These 60,000 yuan are a huge income in the local area.
As Pei Zheng's contracting was successful, he became famous locally and became a model worker in the city. Because of his success in contracting, the commune strongly requested Pei Zheng to continue contracting, but Pei Zheng refused.
Pei Zheng encountered numerous problems during his business operations and realized that contracting couldn't truly solve the fundamental problems of a business. Contractors only used predatory management methods to maximize profits, pursuing only short-term gains without considering the survival and sustainable development of the business...
These are not what Pei Zheng wants.
Later, Director Han talked to Pei Zheng again and planned to continue the business with Pei Zheng in the form of a joint venture.
If it is a joint venture, then Pei Zheng and the commune will have an equal cooperative relationship. For the main operator, the enthusiasm for operation will be greatly improved, but the prerequisite is that Pei Zheng has to invest his own money.
So Pei Zheng went home and discussed with Qiao Zhiyi, and decided to use the money he had originally intended to use to buy a house in the county to continue investing in the glass factory.
Under Pei Zheng's management, the glass factory developed in an orderly manner.
Qiao Zhiyi's career is also developing very well.
Under her leadership, the local medical level has improved significantly, and a group of excellent medical staff have also emerged. Even at her initiative, local people are actively growing medicinal herbs and making a fortune.
Brother Qiao gradually switched from animal husbandry to medicinal herb cultivation.
There was no other way. As the surrounding brigades were all engaged in breeding, market competition became very fierce, and profits thus decreased. So Brother Qiao followed Qiao Zhiyi's advice and invested the money he earned in growing Chinese medicinal herbs.
With the deepening of reform and opening up, the market demand for Chinese medicinal materials is huge, and the prices have also risen accordingly, so there is great potential for development.
Mrs. Qiao's business was getting better and better, and she started a garment factory. The reason why her clothes were popular was that Qiao Zhiyi kept up with the fashion designs. So when Mrs. Qiao made money, Qiao Zhiyi would naturally get a lot of profits.
It can be said that the couple made a lot of money by taking three approaches and became well-known local millionaires. They became a wealthy couple and lived a prosperous life.
The family later went to the county and bought a house and land.
Pei Zheng also discovered new major business opportunities in the process of running the glass factory.
It was during a business trip that I discovered a business opportunity, which was car windshields.
He accidentally discovered that when a car's windshield is broken, the driver often does not choose to repair it. For example, for a Mazda car, replacing a front windshield costs 6,000 yuan, which is a sky-high price.
The high repair costs are caused by the fact that domestic cars are not manufactured domestically, there are too many different models on the market, and the quantity of a single type of car in the repair market is too small, so it is impossible to make it, and even if it is made, it cannot be sold. This makes car glass very expensive.
Qiao Zhiyi also supported him in making automotive glass.
With the development of the economy, cars will become a common means of transportation in the future, and the demand for automotive glass will become increasingly greater. It is time to seize this market first. If we succeed, we can push our company to a new level and even go global.
So Pei Zheng discussed it with the commune, got support, and devoted himself to it.
Within a few years, the business of the Red Star Commune Glass Factory grew bigger and bigger, and its performance was recognized by the county. It even received the support of the county governor, and the original factory site was moved to the county.
Pei Zheng had already bought land and built a big house in the county, so Qiao Zhiyi naturally moved to the county with her children to study and work.
Later, Pei Zheng successfully obtained foreign orders and led his team to go abroad for technical training.
Fortunately, during those years, Pei Zheng also worked hard on his English. Since his wife was proficient in this language, he did not have to go to night school and training classes. He could use his rest time to study. After gradually coming into contact with foreigners, he could speak a few words.
He often took Qiao Zhiyi abroad to discuss business. His wife was a professional in translation. They also visited Sophia together, fulfilling the invitation promise made many years ago.
After living in a daze for several years, Lou Xinyue met Qiao Zhiyi in the county one day and found that Qiao Zhiyi was more beautiful than a few years ago. She was dazzling and dressed fashionably. The three children around her were all cute and lively. Even Pei's mother, who came from the countryside, had become a lady and was dressed very elegantly.
It was Pei's mother's birthday, and the family booked a table at the county state-owned restaurant for dinner. The Qiao family also came.
Lou Xinyue quietly hid outside the hotel and looked at her adoptive mother and brother whom she used to be familiar with, feeling sad.
Unexpectedly, the Qiao family, which should have been broken up, is now rich and happy. The eldest and third brothers have become well-known breeders and planters...
The country bumpkin, Mrs. Qiao, whom she once looked down upon the most, has now transformed into a boss. She is radiant and smiling happily, arm in arm with Qiao Zhiyi and Ji Xiaoying.
Tangtang, the rebellious girl in her previous life, now has an artistic temperament. She wears a beautiful dress and black leather shoes. She has bright eyes and white teeth, and her figure has also grown taller. She looks like a city girl, fair and clean, and her speech and behavior are very stylish.
Kiki, the dusty country girl in her previous life, was supposed to be deaf-mute. Now she is lively and talkative, dresses fashionably, and tells interesting stories with Tangtang.
