He then found three or four young men in the village who were on good terms with him, who were strong and quick-witted. After talking to them, they all agreed to go with him and try their luck.
Before leaving, Liu Yujiang went to the Sheng family home and said goodbye to Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen.
When Zhang Shuzhen learned that Liu Yujiang was going to see Sheng Xiping, she quickly packed some things and asked Liu Yujiang to take them with him.
Sheng Liancheng, on the other hand, asked Liu Yujiang to pass on a message to Sheng Xiping.
“Yujiang, tell our eldest son that he should only earn enough money to get by, and not be too greedy.”
He's been gone for over half a year, hasn't come home, and hasn't taken care of anything. How can you call that living a normal life?
In fact, each time Liu Yuhe came back, he helped Sheng Xiping send money back, and in total, he gave Sheng Liancheng and his wife no less than 100,000 yuan.
But Sheng Liancheng had old-fashioned ideas. No matter how much money he made from doing business, he felt it was not as good as having a stable job and living a peaceful life.
"Tell him that doing business outside is fine, but he's not allowed to get involved in other things."
He's all alone outside, not taking care of anything at home. His wife has to work and take care of the children all by herself, it's not easy for her.
Don't let yourself get rich after two years of business and then become a foreigner, getting involved with those shady women outside.
"If he dares, I'll break his legs."
Sheng Liancheng was worried about his son and was always concerned about him. He was afraid that his eldest son would go astray and end up squandering the family's good fortune by making a little money and then becoming arrogant.
It is said that a mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles, but how can a father not worry? It's just that men are more reserved in their emotions and don't usually show it.
"Uncle, look at you, you're overthinking it. Xiping is such a smart man, he can't make this mistake, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yujiang smiled and quickly said a few good words for Sheng Xiping.
Liu Yujiang sat in the Sheng family's room for a while, then left with the things Zhang Shuzhen had prepared.
Several people, carrying their luggage, left Dajianchang by car. They first went to Songjianghe, then transferred to another car to go to the provincial capital, where they waited for Liu Yuhe.
After the two brothers met, they began to busy themselves with various matters related to transporting the corn to the port city. In the end, all the corn was loaded onto the truck and sent off, and they also went to the port city.
Sheng Xiping was also very busy. He was buying a large number of home appliances while also looking for sales channels for timber.
In addition to Sheng Xiyun and Hou Yashuang, Sheng Xiping also contacted many past businessmen and reached cooperation agreements with them.
In early November, Wu Yucheng returned from the capital. He had already completed the procedures for taking a leave of absence without pay. This time, he was going to follow Sheng Xiping and make a name for himself.
The trading company, under the guise of employee welfare, purchased a large number of home appliances through imports and various channels in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and then shipped the appliances to forestry bureaus in Northeast China.
The forestry bureau trades high-quality timber for home appliances, and then distributes appliance vouchers as employee benefits, allowing employees to choose and purchase their favorite appliances.
Because Sheng Xiping purchased home appliances at low prices and eliminated many intermediaries, even if he added a markup, the prices were still lower than those sold in local stores, so everyone was scrambling to buy them.
From the beginning of November to the end of December, Sheng Xiping delivered three batches of home appliances to Northeast China, all of which were snapped up.
At the same time, Sheng Xiping also transported away a large amount of timber, resold it to merchants, and made another profit.
In the blink of an eye, 1982 is about to pass.
On December 31st, Sheng Xiping booked several tables at a restaurant and invited all the company's employees in Shenzhen to have a meal together.
"Come on, come on, fill your glasses! Today is the last day of 1982, and tomorrow is the new year."
"You've all come all the way to Shenzhen with me, unable to go home to celebrate the holiday with your families. Let's celebrate together here and welcome the new year together."
Sheng Xiping, holding a wine glass, clinked glasses with everyone with a broad smile.
Everyone shouted in unison, "Happy New Year!"
"This year is the first year of our company's development. So far, the company is operating well and making good profits."
All of this is thanks to everyone's hard work. Thank you all for your efforts.
Immediately afterwards, Sheng Xiping raised a second glass of wine.
"Tomorrow is New Year's Day, so we'll give everyone a day off. Those who live nearby can go back and visit their families, and those who live far away can just wander around."
"I'll be back at work the day after tomorrow. In the new year, I hope everyone will continue to work hard and achieve even greater success." Sheng Xiping raised three glasses of wine in a row.
After three cups of wine, everyone ate and drank as they pleased.
Sheng Xiping, the Liu brothers, and Wu Yucheng sat together, chatting and drinking, taking the opportunity to arrange company matters.
"I plan to ship the last batch of home appliances back around the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and then go home for the New Year."
"I've been away from home for too long, I really miss it. I'll leave things here to Xiao Sun and the others; they can take a break before the Lunar New Year."
Sheng Xiping left in March, and it has been almost nine months now. Every time he returns to Northeast China, he comes and goes in a hurry, staying at most for two nights in Songjianghe. He simply doesn't have time to go back to the forest farm.
Having been away from home for so long, Sheng Xiping missed his parents very much. If it weren't for the fact that the company still had one last batch of goods to ship back, he would have already quit long ago. Why would he have waited until now?
"Yeah, I miss home too. I've been away for more than half a year and only gone back twice." Liu Yuhe scratched his head. Who doesn't miss home?
"Let's work hard for another year or two, save up some money, and then find a decent project and go back."
We call ourselves a trading company, but we're really just buying and selling. It's not a legitimate business; you could easily get burned if you're not careful.
