Liang Liang calculated the progress.
At the current pace, Lü Yueli and the companies that followed her should be completed and put into operation within the planned timeframe.
That put his mind at ease.
The black leopard car stopped in front of the brigade headquarters, and the three of them got out.
Xu Mei carried a large bag filled with some strange and unusual things she had bought for her parents, and ran home like a fleeing rabbit.
Liang Liang and Xing Chenghu then entered the brigade's courtyard.
The most eye-catching thing upon entering the courtyard is the two-story building on the south side, which is forty meters long.
After more than two months of construction, the two-story building has been erected, and the bricklayers seem to be working on the concrete.
Xu Yongjiu's team of bricklayers really got the job done; the speed at which they built the house was quite impressive.
Once the roof is finished and the curing process is complete, and the waterproofing is done, the house is finished.
The two rows of eighteen rooms on the west and north sides of the courtyard have been cleaned up, and the new tiles on the roofs make the houses look like they were newly built.
Inside, bricklayers were painting the walls and working on paving the floor.
These houses can be put into use once plumbing, heating, doors, and windows are installed.
Once these houses are built, the ground of the entire courtyard will be paved, and a large wall will be erected around it. The entire project will then be completed.
Xu Yongjiu said that even if it can't be used this year, it will definitely be put into use next spring, and it will definitely not be later than May 1st.
Liang Liang had five things to do when she returned home this time, and she has already resolved three of them.
Lu Yueli already had a clear understanding of the progress of her business group and her guitar factory; these were two separate matters.
Xu Mei also went home, which was the third thing.
Now all that's left are my younger brother playing guitar and the Yinna River band recording an album.
Liang Liang and Xing Chenghu took a shortcut and climbed over the north wall of the brigade's courtyard. Once they were over the north wall, they would be on the street where Liang Liang's family lived.
If there's a shortcut, of course you should take the shortcut.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, Liang Liang saw a Jinbei 130 truck parked in front of her yard. The truck's license plate number was Liaoning C from Anshan.
This left Liang Liang completely baffled.
He didn't remember having any relatives or friends in the Anshan area, so what was a car from the Anshan area doing here?
The Liang family courtyard was bustling with activity.
From the east wing to the front wing, more than thirty people were chatting away while doing different jobs.
There are hundreds of steps involved in making a hundred guitars, and each person has to do three or four steps, so it's not an easy job.
A young man from Liangshuiwan Village saw Liang Liang enter the gate as he finished cutting an iron plate and moved on to the next process.
"Liang Liang is back!" he shouted.
A dozen or so heads popped out of the windows, greeting Liang Liang in a chaotic manner.
After Liang Liang greeted them, he saw two strangers. Liang Bentang was chatting with those two people.
When Liang Bentang saw that his eldest son had returned, he waved to Liang Liang.
"Son! Come here, come here."
"Dad! I'm home!"
"I see you're back. These are our clients, one from Xiliu and one from... Xiao Zhang, where are you from?"
"Linyi!" replied the round-faced man who looked to be in his thirties.
"They are customers who sold our guitars. You're back just in time. Go and chat with them!"
Liang Liang was dumbfounded. The customers who sold him guitars were from Linyi and Xiliu.
Both of these places are well-known wholesale markets. Are these two guys in the wholesale business?
How did they find us?
Because of the limited production volume, his guitars haven't reached the stage of being advertised on TV yet. How did they get to this point?
Liang Liang shook hands with Zhang Yiwang and another man in his thirties.
After the two introduced themselves, Liang Liang took out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to each of them.
Zhang Hongyan, a round-faced Chinese man from Linyi, is friends with Wang Xueshan from Xiliu; they both work in the wholesale musical instrument business.
It turns out they were just wholesaling traditional folk musical instruments such as gongs, drums, suonas, erhus, and yangqins.
We only started venturing into the wholesale and retail of Western musical instruments last year.
Western musical instruments are very expensive, and they can't actually do many business transactions in a year. They just play them sporadically and sell them sporadically until Wang Xueshan came to Yahe to stroll around a few months ago.
His main purpose in coming to Yahe was to taste the fresh seafood.
This guy really loves seafood, but in Xiliu, the seafood you get is usually leftovers from the previous day.
Yahe is a coastal city that is famous for its seafood. He came here to enjoy the seafood while also taking a trip.
In the evening, we went to the park in the center of the street for a seafood barbecue. After a satisfying meal, we strolled around the park and saw a group of young people playing electric guitars.
I overheard a conversation between several young men about buying electric guitars, and they said that the electric guitars they bought cost around four or five hundred yuan.
He was a musician who dealt in musical instruments, so he naturally knew how much an electric guitar was worth. None of the electric guitars he had ever dealt in cost less than a thousand yuan, so this electric guitar, which cost four or five hundred yuan, piqued his interest.
He listened for a while and found that the guitar's tone was quite good, no worse than some electric guitars he had handled that cost a few hundred or a thousand yuan.
He went over to these young people, befriended them, and offered them beer and barbecue.
After talking with these young people, I learned that there were people making electric guitars in Liangshuiwan Village, Pingshan Township, Gaobao Township.
He had been hanging around the Xiliu Market for several years and had seen shoemakers, sock knitters, backpack manufacturers, and clothing makers, but he was quite surprised to find that there were electric guitar makers here.
Wang Xueshan couldn't sit still any longer. The next morning, he took a taxi and found the Liang family, who made electric guitars, in Liangshuiwan Village, Pingshan Township.
At this time, Liang Feng had accumulated more than twenty electric guitars, which he planned to send to Liang Liang's music store in Lianwan.
Wang Xueshan was overjoyed at the sight of it and bought it all for 260 yuan.
He took those twenty electric guitars back to Xiliu Market and sold them all in three days by adding 100 yuan to each one.
On the fourth day, he came back and signed an agreement with Liang Feng to reimburse all the guitars he had made.
Although the Liang family can produce more than ten guitars a day now, he already senses that the Liang family's guitars will soon enter a period of high production.
He was worried that if the Liang family's product scale expanded, he wouldn't be able to sell it all, so he also called Zhang Hongyan, who was also in the musical instrument business in Linyi.
He believed that the two of them could definitely consume all the electric guitars produced by the Liang family for the time being.
He and Zhang Hongyan initially had business dealings, but later developed into friends.
For the past two months, they have been coming to Liang's house together to pick up the goods.
They were there to pick up goods when Liang Liang happened to run into them.
No wonder he hasn't seen many of his homemade guitars in his music store these past two months; apparently, those two guys have intercepted them halfway through.
This behavior is equivalent to that of bandits and highway robbers.
