Chapter 127: Take the civil service exam after graduation?
This was the period when TB developed most rapidly, and countless people from Lizhou became millionaires by selling hardware products.
With my mother's current sales performance, an annual profit of more than 300,000 is already the best she can achieve. After all, the supply of thermos bottles is in the hands of others, and the profit is limited.
Even if we think of the worst case scenario, if the thermos manufacturers themselves also start TB sales, the problem my mother's store faces in terms of price will be very serious.
According to the development trajectory of TB stores in Lizhou, establishing one's own brand and letting manufacturers do processing on behalf of them is the safest way, and the real lifeline can be in one's own hands.
Just like his high school classmate Chen Wei, who started out by selling fitness equipment after graduating from university. 12 years later, he established his own brand and outsourced the processing to a factory in Pengcheng. The assembly workshop in Lizhou rented a factory building of more than 2,000 square meters, making a profit of no less than 500,000 yuan a year.
That was just catching the last train of TB's rapid rise.
"Trademark? How to do it?"
After hearing what his son said, Wang Jingyu was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously.
After several months of development, Wang Jingyu is still optimistic about the sales prospects of thermos bottles, and naturally sees the potential of the brand.
A very simple example is that the Hals brand thermos is a little more expensive, but it sells better than other brands of thermos, mainly because the brand is strong and the quality is guaranteed.
I heard that Hals was going to be listed soon and was quite famous, but the profit was limited between the price she got and the selling price.
As she gets more and more goods, the salesperson in charge of shipment has asked about her channels. There are many more stores originating from Lizhou on TB recently, including some opened by manufacturers' salesmen, so the competition is quite fierce.
If her store had not been opened early, and her son had not obtained a crown reputation early on, had a good after-sales service attitude, and had accumulated considerable fame, Wang Jingyu would have been afraid that her store would have no business.
The situation is not optimistic. Wang Jingyu naturally knows the benefits of owning his own brand. At least he will not be controlled by others.
However, Wang Jingyu searched online for brand trademarks but did not quite understand them.
"My uncle is inviting us to dinner tomorrow night. We can just ask him then."
Zhou Anan had worked as a temporary worker in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in his previous life, so he knew the ins and outs of it. However, with his uncle-in-law as a ready-made formal employee, there was no need for him to do it himself.
When the time comes, register a trademark. Once sales increase, you can naturally apply for a famous trademark.
No matter how bad he is, he can't be worse than Chen Wei, who started his career a few years later.
"OK."
After hearing what his son said, Wang Jingyu also took it to heart.
This TB store is doing well, and its profits are no worse than those of their quarry. After all, the profits of the quarry are shared by several people.
The time wasted at home always passes quickly. I chatted with my grandparents, had a video call with a beautiful girl online, played with the little girl on the phone, and helped my mother with work. Another day passed.
My uncle-in-law joined the army in his early years and became a civil servant, so his whole family moved to the city. The new house in the countryside would not be built for a few years, so the dinner was held at the Lizhou Hotel in the city, which is next to the housing allocated to employees of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
"Director?"
Before all the family members arrived, Zhou Anan, who arrived early, heard a surprising news from his aunt.
In his early years, my uncle did work as deputy director of an industrial and commercial bureau in the countryside, but as he was getting older and there was no room for advancement, he was transferred back to the bureau in the urban area and became an ordinary employee.
Just before retirement in ten years, he never expected that his superiors would suddenly appoint his uncle as the director of the Xicheng Institute, and he would go directly from an ordinary employee to a deputy section-level cadre with real power.
No wonder they were so generous that they even held the dinner at Lizhou Hotel. It seemed like it was meant as a celebration.
"Our city's chief commissioner, Mr. Zhou, values Guoan very much. After Guoan took office as the director, he came to inspect the institute. No one in the institute dared to disobey."
When talking about her husband's experience, my aunt Zhou Yuping spoke very clearly and her words were full of pride.
"Chief Commissioner Zhou knows Guoan."
"Yu Ping, you are going to enjoy happiness."
"The national security officer has become an official, so you have to take care of him."
"Yu Ping, is our village under the jurisdiction of the National Security Bureau?"
After so many years, the family finally had a powerful official. Everyone was delighted and of course, they also expressed their feelings, especially Zhou Anan's father, who had a good relationship with his aunt. He praised him very much.
As for this hard-mouthed but soft-hearted aunt, Zhou Anan did not feel the slightest bit disgusted when she heard her boasting. Instead, she responded with a few low-key remarks and focused her attention on the cold dishes on the table.
Upon learning that it was the magistrate Zhou, who had already become the chief committee member, who was behind the effort, Zhou Anan could guess some of the reasons, but she would not show off and take credit for it like the young people did.
In life, being low-key is the best strategy.
Alas, it’s a pity that he just helped the little princess of the Yu family and there is not much relationship between them. Otherwise, if he could take advantage of this opportunity to cling to Chief Committee Zhou, he would definitely have smooth sailing in Jiang Province in the future.
If you try to curry favor with someone at this time, the other person will probably look down on you and will only look down on you.
The current situation is still good. With just a little effort, Chief Commissioner Zhou can help his uncle-in-law become a deputy director before retirement. The Zhou family can also benefit from it without him having to work hard to change it.
As for making money, he still has to rely on himself.
"An An, when you graduate, take the civil service exam."
"What?"
Zhou Anan felt inexplicably dragged into this matter. She lowered her head to eat her food and looked at her father who had a very excited face. She felt very disappointed.
In his previous life, because his cousin from his aunt's family passed the civil service exam, and his aunt kept talking about the benefits of being a civil servant at family gatherings, Zhou Anan's father forced him to take the civil service exam, which led to Zhou Anan working various temporary jobs during his preparation for the exam.
Zhou Anan felt a little scared when she thought about that important day that the whole family had placed high hopes on.
If he had not acted first and asked for permission later in his previous life, and had not secretly saved some money to run a training class with his classmates, the hard days of preparing for the exam might not have been over yet.
After experiencing her past life, Zhou Anan knew that she was not destined to be a civil servant.
In my first year of taking the exam, I missed the national exam by 0.1 point and the provincial exam by 0.2 point, so I missed the interview.
I took the exam the next year and passed the national exam. There were two open positions, and I was the fifth one. However, I was rejected in the interview.
I took the provincial exam in the third year and passed it. After the interview, my comprehensive score was 0.01 point lower than the last admitted candidate.
It was the fourth year of the exam, and a training class had already been set up. I took the exam without preparation. As a result, the scores for the Lizhou township civil servant exam were very low. Zhou Anan's score was enough to put him in the top five. However, the score for the township civil servant exam in the neighboring county he applied for was very high, so he couldn't even get through the interview.
In the fifth year, Zhou Anan fought hard and finally turned the pressure of preparing for the exam into the pressure of being urged to get married.
The past was too hard to recall, Zhou Anan's eyes were filled with incomparable grief and indignation, but she nodded obediently.
In this case, if you go against your dad, you can skip the meal.
People aren't tired of banquets these days, and this is a rare opportunity, so Zhou Anan doesn't want to waste it.
Anyway, he is only a freshman now. When he is a senior, Zhou Anan thinks about throwing the bank card worth tens of millions in front of his father to see if his father will still force him to take the civil service exam.
Perfect! Zhou Anan gave his plan countless thumbs up in his heart, and a plate of duck tongues disappeared during the scramble between him, his cousin and others.
