In order not to disturb Hu Guiyuan's final month of preparation before the college entrance examination, all of Xi Yang Hong Company's high-volume business was arranged at the woodworking factory.
The old ladies who made less noise all gathered in the house with sewing machines. They worked together as a group and complained about their stubborn spouses and unfilial daughters-in-law at the same time.
These days were really interesting. They were legitimate and did not interfere with cooking. However, they had no time to take care of their grandchildren. The daughters-in-law all had some opinions. But after receiving their first salary, the old ladies became confident and paid to send all the children under the age of seven or eight, who were so old that even dogs disliked them, to nurseries.
A family conflict was resolved in an instant.
The old ladies really didn't expect that they couldn't even get a job when they were young, and had been housewives all their lives, taking care of their children and cooking. They didn't expect that they could find a job again when they were so old.
Moreover, the benefits of this unit are really good. They provide everything, including reading glasses, small stools, rice, flour, grain and oil. These are better than the working benefits of my son and daughter-in-law.
After I started getting paid, my family members who used to occasionally complain and oppose became stubborn and even asked me when the factory would hire again.
Hiring? Forget about it. That legal representative Hu Yitong said that the Sunset Red Company only recruits unemployed and retired people over 55 years old from the neighborhood. Young people are not wanted.
The unemployed young people really couldn't understand why. Why? Aren't they, the young people, more efficient and effective than the older ones? Is Hu Yitong's brain still not fully recovered? Is he becoming more and more left-wing?
Old Mrs. Sun just smiled and said nothing. What else could it be? Didn't you see that this group of people were all the people who had helped and taken care of Hu Yitong after Old Hu died. Old Hu was just remembering the kindness they showed him. You didn't pray for help at the time, and now you want to ask for help at the last minute. How could that work?
Xiyanghong Home Furnishing had both manpower and talent, and soon received a flood of orders. They also rented an idle courtyard next to a wood processing factory and renovated it into a model room, which contained a full set of furniture in various styles, including modern, postmodern, Ming and Qing, European, simple, and all kinds of styles to meet the needs of people of all ages.
It was even reported on the provincial TV station's news. Now there is a wave of layoffs all over the country. Aren't these elderly people who started their own businesses and found new jobs considered as an example?
Many laid-off middle-aged people are indeed motivated. Think about it, others can start their own businesses at such an old age, so they are only in their thirties or forties. What is there to be depressed and desperate about? At worst, they can spend a year or two to learn a new technology.
Now it is a market economy, and the country also encourages laid-off workers to find reemployment. Many people really use their strengths to start small businesses. No matter what year it is, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can have a meal. God will not let a sparrow starve to death.
Some people followed the clues in the news and came to Sunset Red Company to seek cooperation.
But Hu Yitong didn't want this matter to take up too much of his energy. Hu Guiyuan had just finished the college entrance examination and was waiting for the results. Once the admission notice came out, he had other arrangements.
Old Man Zhang, Old Lady Sun and others also followed Hu Yitong's lead. In their opinion, things were pretty good now. In just two months, they not only earned high salaries, but also got their original investment back in the form of dividends. They were content.
It’s just that Old Man Zhang’s son Zhang Xiaolu has some ideas.
He owned a wood processing factory. Business had been bad before and there was no work at all. There were only two carpenters in the factory, one of whom was his own father. He had been thinking of finding an excuse to fire the other carpenter, but he didn't expect that things would take a turn for the better and his father would bring him a big business.
The amount of logs purchased in the last month was the total of the past three years for their small factory. Fortunately, the master chef had not had time to resign yet, so he hired a few more people back and was able to just meet Xi Yanghong's orders.
How much money did this sunset red make? He wanted to pry into the business, but as soon as he mentioned this, his father scolded him and almost canceled the order with him and switched to the processing plant across the street that was on the verge of bankruptcy due to the pressure from his own company.
He quickly apologized and said it was just a joke, and then he calmed his father down: Does this old man know who is far away and who is near?
Not long after he had rested his mind, Xi Yang Hong appeared on TV. After that, his business became even more popular. Several waves of people came to seek cooperation, but they were all rejected by Xi Yang Hong. His little thoughts began to stir again.
Although I have always looked down on Hu Yitong, that good-for-nothing, in recent years, but looking at his current attitude, he seems to have reformed. So why not have a chat with him? Who has to go against money?
As a result, things took a turn for the better and Hu Yitong agreed to transfer 60% of his shares in Xiyanghong, and the remaining 40% was divided among 16 other old neighbors, including Zhang Xiaolu's father Zhang Dapao.
Zhang Xiaolu finally spent 150,000 to acquire the 60% stake, which included a nearly 100-page design draft provided by Hu Yitong. With this design draft, the development of Sunset Red will be stable in the next few years.
Afterwards, he expanded his business drastically. Not only did the woodworking factory purchase a lot of equipment, but each of the old ladies also had a sewing machine, and he guaranteed to teach them how to use it.
He originally didn't want to employ the old ladies, but it wasn't possible. Not only was his father the first to stand up and oppose it, but Hu Yitong's equity transfer agreement also made it clear that unless these old employees voluntarily resigned, they could not be fired for any reason.
Fortunately, although the old ladies were very old, they did their work very well and at a fast speed, so Zhang Xiaolu gradually felt that it was not a loss.
Where did Hu Yitong go?
Hu Guiyuan once again received the admission letter from Q University, and Hu Yitong took him to Beijing by train in advance.
He did not stay in a hotel, but directly bought two fully furnished large flats in a newly opened sales office near Q University. At that time, the housing prices in Beijing were still relatively stable, only 5,000 yuan per square meter, but starting from the next two years, the housing prices here will start to grow at a rocket speed.
The large flat is 150 square meters each, and the full payment for two units would cost more than 1.5 million yuan (it’s a headache, I’m not good at math, am I right?). If Hu Guiyuan hadn’t witnessed the whole process, he really couldn’t believe that his father could come up with 1.5 million yuan?
No, no, no, even if he saw the whole thing with his own eyes, even if he got the keys and moved in that same day, he still couldn't believe it. Even before school started, when he got the property deed with his name on it, he still felt like he was dreaming.
After enduring for a long time, he finally asked: "Dad, what exactly is the business that you, my Grandma Sun, and Grandpa Zhang are doing? In just two or three months, can you make more than one million?" It seems more than that.
