Xu Hebin's factory faces east.
Upon entering the factory gate, there is a two-story building on the right. The area is not very large, with the two floors combined being only about seven or eight hundred square meters.
The workshop is located to the south and west, and it uses a newly popular steel frame structure.
The first floor of the small building still has a product showroom, but now the showroom is empty except for a wooden guitar.
This is the only model his company produces.
Xu Hebin opened the cabinet and took out the wooden guitar.
Liang Liang picked at it a couple of times and gave his evaluation.
"The pitch is terrible, it can't be tuned at all, the amplifier has too much noise, the wood combination is unreasonable, and the neck is also poorly made. It's the lowest grade of low-end guitar. This kind of guitar would cost no more than 120 yuan on the market. It's purely a practice guitar."
Liang Liang made this type of guitar when he first started making acoustic guitars, but he doesn't make them anymore.
“If things recover in the future, I still don’t recommend making plywood guitars. Other types of guitars can’t be made well. Even if you’re making low-end guitars, you should make solid wood ones.”
"I know! We're using this kind of guitar to practice right now."
"You could consider making children's guitars. As people's living standards improve, they are paying more attention to their children's education in all aspects. Children under thirteen or fourteen who are learning guitar can't handle these big guitars. You could consider making some smaller guitars. Children's money is the easiest to earn."
"They even have children's guitars?" Xu Hebin really didn't know.
"Haha! You're a guitar factory owner and you don't even know what a children's guitar is? Isn't that the biggest joke of the year?"
"I really don't know."
"The adult guitars you make are usually 38 to 41 inches, which is about one meter. Children's guitars are called children's guitars because they are shorter and smaller. The usual size is 29 to 36 inches, which is between 70 and 90 centimeters. There are also electric guitars and classical folk guitars. This market is still blank. Almost no one is making them. You should do some research on it yourself! This market is huge."
Xu Hebin's eyes began to dart around.
"Will this really work?"
"Why not? If you want to know whether it works or not, just make it and sell it."
As they spoke, the two left the display shop and entered the workshop, where they took a walk around.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright. You can't see a rainbow without going through the storm. No one can succeed easily. The banks are closed for the holidays now. I'll give you 500,000 yuan after the New Year to help you out."
"No need for that, I'll borrow it from my sister when she gets back."
Liang Liang stopped the car in front of the Xu family's house, and Xu Hebin got out and drove back home.
Then we walked to Dongshan to see the guitar factory's timber storage base.
Standing at the highest point of Dongshan Mountain and looking out over the entire Pingshan Village, Liang Liang felt a surge of emotions.
In just over a year, Pingshan Village has undergone tremendous changes.
The most significant change is the increase in buildings.
As far as the eye can see, there are many brightly decorated two-story buildings that look like they were just built this year.
Looking back at my own bungalow, it seems a bit outdated.
The bungalows, built only a few years ago, are already out of fashion.
The timber storage station in Dongshan was surrounded by a 1.8-meter-high wall, forming a large courtyard.
The yard was piled high with timber, along with various wood processing and drying equipment.
Most of these timbers were imported from Russia by Qin Wenju's timber company, with a small portion coming from the south.
Qin Wenju doesn't need to do anything else all year except deliver wood to the Liang family's guitar factory, and she makes millions in profit annually.
Speaking of Qin Wenju, Qin Wenju has arrived.
Every year before the Lunar New Year, Qin Wenju would visit Liang Liang's parents in Liangshui Bay.
This year was no exception. Upon learning that Liang Liang was also at home, Qin Wenju came to Dongshan.
"Boss Liang is really busy these days, he's forgotten all about me and hasn't even come to see me." Qin Wenju's words had a sour tone.
“I dare not go! You are so damn charming right now, I’m afraid I’ll react if I see you.”
Since getting married, Qin Wenju has indeed become more and more mature, exuding the unique charm of a mature woman.
"You're such a chatterbox!" Qin Wenju glared at Liang Liang.
"Don't you dare seduce me!" Liang Liang said, putting on a gentlemanly air.
"Pah! Shameless! Who seduced you?" Qin Wenju said coquettishly.
"Sister Ju! You've been married for over two years, and your waistline is still so good. That's not normal. Shouldn't you be pregnant?"
Two years into our marriage and I still haven't gotten pregnant, this won't do.
You'll see in a few months!
"So there's some news? That's great news! It's about time for them to produce a few fruits."
"What are you saying, you little rascal! Hey! Do you have a girlfriend now?" Qin Wenju said with a laugh.
Liang Liang shook her head: "No!"
"Nobody would believe that!"
"Really not. I've been incredibly busy these past two years. This year, our band neither released an album nor went on any performances, which shows how busy I've been."
"Where is your lover?"
"How could I possibly have a lover when I don't even have a girlfriend!"
"You're so intense, how could you hold back? I don't believe it."
Liang Liang chuckled: "Sister Ju, you really understand me."
A scene from his past absurd encounter with Qin Wenju suddenly flashed into Liang Liang's mind.
"Sister Ju! How about..."
Qin Wenju's eyes were about to burst into tears.
"Let's forget it. Things are different now. Let's respect each other. Come to my place and have lunch before you leave."
Liang Liang suppressed his desires and left Dongshan with Qin Wenju, returning to the Liang family.
Qin Wenju did not eat at the Liang family's house; she had only come to wish Liang Liang's parents an early Happy New Year.
Not long after she reached the bottom of the mountain, she drove away.
Liang Liang and Liang Feng began cleaning, sweeping the yard and removing dust.
While working, Liang Liang asked about his younger brother and Yang Xiaoli.
Another year has passed. Surely there must have been some progress at all?
When I got home, my mother didn't mention it. Could it be that the secret hasn't been revealed yet?
"Huh! You still haven't made it clear? Are you even capable of this?"
Liang Liang was truly exhausted this time, realizing that the past year had been wasted.
"Have you even held hands? You haven't even held hands? My brother! That won't do. A man should take the initiative. Do you know that song? 'Strike when the iron is hot, and you'll be able to conquer the world with great fanfare.' Alright! You'll be twenty-one by the end of the year, and it's time to settle down. I'll take care of this."
"Brother! What are you going to do?"
"Tell me now! Are you really serious about marrying Yang Xiaoli? Don't hesitate even a little bit. If you hesitate even a little bit now, it means there are many unreliable possibilities in the future."
"Yes!" Liang Feng replied resolutely.
"Alright! I've taken care of things, so you don't need to worry about it."
Liang Liang is someone who doesn't like to drag things out.
Without hesitation, he threw down the broom, left the house, and headed towards the shop.
