Wan Feng and Zhang Xuan didn't stay at Zhang Xuan's grandmother's house for long, only about ten minutes before coming out.
Before leaving, Wan Feng left five thousand yuan for the old man.
The next stop was naturally to visit Zhang Juan’s garment factory.
Wan Feng had the impression that the Wu family had not changed much.
Perhaps the only change is that there are more small shops on both sides of the avenue than before.
He originally remembered there were three small shops, but now they have expanded to more than ten shops, stretching on both sides of the avenue about one kilometer long from south to north.
Another change is the old vocational high school dormitory where he used to live. Now this red brick house has obviously been sold to an individual.
Because the playground in front of the dormitory, which was previously empty, has been divided into courtyards with wooden sticks, and there seem to be as many as four or five houses.
There is not a single building in the entire Xiao Wu family's home, and there is a desolate feeling against the backdrop of white snow.
The garment factory still looked the same, the original location and appearance hadn't changed at all, at least from the outside Wan Feng didn't notice any changes.
This made him feel a little sad. Considering the small changes in Xiao Wu's family, the economy here was still in a half-dead stage.
It is indeed not an easy task to develop the economy in remote areas.
As soon as Wan Feng and the other two walked into the yard of Zhang Juan's garment factory, Zhang Juan rushed out of the house like a gust of wind.
"sister!"
Zhang Juan and Zhang Xuan hugged each other.
After the hug, Zhang Juan turned to Wan Feng and called him "brother-in-law" and actually opened her arms.
Ah! This is such a good thing! Someone's face lit up with excitement and he quickly opened his arms.
Anyway, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law are also confused, so it’s okay to hug them. It would be a waste not to hug them.
Unfortunately, the plot failed. Zhang Xuan pulled Zhang Juan back and said, "Crazy girl! Do you want to die?"
Zhang Juan stuck out her tongue.
Someone was dissatisfied because he didn't hug the beautiful woman: "What's wrong with hugging? Sooner or later, I will be hugged by someone. It doesn't matter who hugs me."
Zhang Xuan gave someone a fierce look and said, "You can't hug me!"
Han Guangjia, who usually keeps his emotions secret, couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed heartily.
Behind Zhang Juan, several people walked out.
Wan Feng glanced at He Yanfei, Wang Wenmin and Ji Chun.
The four great romantic figures of the past are all gathered together.
Can I hold these?
He Yanfei cannot be hugged. She is He Xiao’s wife and Zhang Xuan’s aunt. She must not be hugged.
The other two Wan Fengs had no psychological burden.
"Wang Wenmin, Jichun, I haven't seen you in so many years. Come over here and give me a hug."
Wang Wenmin and Ji Chun chuckled, "If you want to hold her, at least wait until Zhang Xuan isn't here. Look, Zhang Xuan is ready to eat me, who would dare let you hold her?"
Wan Feng glanced at Zhang Xuan and said, "Go away! Close your eyes. Open them after I'm done holding you."
After some laughter and joking, they entered the garment factory's office and began to reminisce about the past.
This garment factory, which was originally founded by Zhang Xuan, now has more than 300 employees, including its branch in the third factory.
The factory was about this size when Zhang Xuan gave it to Zhang Juan. Now, nearly four years have passed, and it is still about this size.
The products are mainly supplied to the three cities of Wuxian, Sunke and Heihe locally.
There are no other cities in this generation. The population of these three cities combined is not even much larger than that of Hongya County.
In 1990, the total population of Hongya County was over 800,000, with the urban population being nearly 200,000, almost equal to the population of Heihe City.
The garment factory's annual net profit now remains at around 500,000 to 600,000 yuan, neither rising nor falling.
Such a market is indeed too small, no wonder Zhang Juan wanted to quit.
Zhang Juan is 20 years old this year. It is unimaginable that she has not found a home for herself at the age of 20 in Heilongjiang.
She is a woman with her own personality and doesn't want to get married too early.
When she was communicating with Zhang Xuan, she learned that the average marriage age in southern Liaoning is now 23 or 24 years old or even later, and she began to think about starting a business in Jiangwei.
He Yanfei is preparing to take over the garment factory in its entirety, and she is the only one among these people who has the ability to take over.
He Xiao still lives in Fulaerji. In He Yanfei's words, he owns a fishing boat. He fishes in the river in the summer and does business with people on the other side of the river.
Wan Feng immediately understood that the so-called fishing and doing business at the same time was actually smuggling under the guise of fishing.
"Tell him to be careful and not to go too far."
"He's been with you in Heihe for a few years and his mind has become clear. He has become more methodical in dealing with people and doing things." He Yanfei looked proud, like a happy little woman.
"Did you guys give birth to a kid?"
"What are you talking about? I have a daughter, she's three years old."
This must be a gift. Wan Feng casually took out a small box from his pocket and said, "This is for your daughter."
When He Yanfei opened it, he saw that it was a jade locket with a silver chain and a lotus in the middle of the jade locket.
"Wow! This stone is so beautiful." Wang Wenmin was embarrassed.
"This is jade! And it's good jade. Or is it stone? It's just a piece of rustic jade!" Zhang Xuan ridiculed Wang Wenmin without any hesitation.
Wang Wenmin didn't care at all: "Old classmate! You are a big boss now. You won't come back to see us empty-handed, right? Why don't you give us some souvenirs?"
After saying that, he stretched out a little white hand in front of Wan Feng.
She didn't need to mention this, Wan Feng was of course prepared.
Wan Feng snapped his fingers.
"I've prepared it all for you. You shameless bastards, all you do is ask for things."
Zhang Xuan took the backpack handed to her by Han Guangjia while laughing and cursing, and took out four small boxes from it.
Zhang Juan, He Yanfei, Wang Wenmin, and Ji Chun took the small box and opened it.
Inside each box is a colorful pager.
"Although Wu County doesn't have a paging station, I think there will be one soon. It will come in handy in two years."
In this generation, only Heihe has a paging station, which is opened by Qin Suzhen.
Qin Suzhen came to see Zhang Xuan when she went to Wa to purchase goods in the summer, and Zhang Xuan introduced her to the paging station.
After Qin Suzhen returned to Heihe, she sold the game console to Wang Zhonghai and Yang Pao, and immediately started to open the first paging station in the northern part of Harbin, Heilongjiang.
But her paging station didn't even have full coverage in Heihe, so it certainly wouldn't cover Wu County.
However, Wu County will not be too late. There will be a paging station in two years at most.
That's when those pagers will come in handy.
Yes, the gift Wan Feng gave to these old friends was a pager.
These people have only seen pagers on TV and have never seen one in person.
But everyone knows that they are very avant-garde and valuable things, and they can't let go of them.
He Yanfei was a seasoned businessman, so he thought, "How about I ask He Xiao to open a paging station in Wu County?"
"Of course! But the initial promotion is very hard. If you open it, be prepared to not make a penny for six months or even a year. Can you bear the loneliness?"
Hearing that there was no benefit in sight for such a long time, He Yanfei kept quiet.
