The Wei family patriarch didn't waste any words with him. After speaking, he had someone fetch the family genealogy and personally removed their family from the clan.
He had been able to tolerate it before because he remembered that Wei Er's father had died in battle.
Now all those goodwill has been wasted by his actions.
Wei Er tried to rush forward, but it was too late.
He knew, of course, what the consequences would be if he were removed from the clan; it would be tantamount to being a rootless being in this village.
From now on, any happy or sad events in the village will have nothing to do with his family.
If someone is abandoned and becomes a resident of another village, no one will stand up for them if they are bullied by people from other villages.
His family members had to be moved out of the ancestral graves in the clan, otherwise they would be bulldozed.
“There are already guards at the ancestral graves, so you can’t get in. Even if you manage to bury someone there secretly, I’ll have someone dig it up.”
"You should know that I keep my word, right?" The Wei family patriarch said, then strode away.
The ancestral hall was locked with a large lock, and several young men were also locking it.
It wasn't the Wei family members who wanted to act shamelessly and lose face, but Wei Er himself.
After this incident, the road in front of the Wei family's house was shrunk by half, making it impossible even for bicycles to pass.
The Li family, who lived nearby, simply sealed off their main gate and opened it onto the main road in the village.
Several other companies followed suit.
The Wei family was completely isolated. When outsiders came to ask about their home's location, everyone tacitly said they didn't know.
There isn't even a family living in the village.
For the two days following the incident, Lin Ziyan stayed at home, fearing that her grandmother might suddenly fall ill.
Grandma Lan and Grandma Lu come to the Lin family every day to take care of the twins and chat with Grandma Lin about everyday things.
The exhibition in Guangzhou has started, and Lin Ziyan has to leave home.
…
And at this moment in Guangzhou.
Appliance brands from all over the world have gathered here.
To prepare for this electronics exhibition, universities in Guangzhou have given students a three-day holiday and encouraged them to visit the venue.
Each exhibition area was filled with new electrical appliances from various brands, and many wholesalers came to place orders.
It's rare to have so many appliance brands gathered together; everyone saw the business opportunity.
Orders placed during the electronics exhibition will enjoy special discounts.
S Appliances takes the lead by offering a 20% discount on new products, and cash rebates for wholesale orders that reach a certain amount, making it the biggest discount of the year.
The only exception is Hairun Electric Appliances.
Prices didn't fluctuate much, but the offer of free home appliances with purchases over a certain amount attracted many retail customers.
Lin Ziyan and Pang Niu strolled around the exhibition hall, trying out the star products of various brands.
Fang Jie and Ren Donglai are setting up their own exhibition hall.
"Ayan, these electrical appliances from S Electric don't seem to be the latest products, do they?"
"The documents Mr. Ren handed over mentioned that S Appliances seems to have launched a new refrigerator in Country A," the chubby girl asked in a low voice.
She opened the refrigerator and took a look. It was no different from the refrigerators sold by Hairun in China, but it was very different from Katie's.
"If it says so, then so be it. And as long as the price is right, the appearance is nice, and the functions are similar, no one will question it. After all, that's what refrigerators are like on the market now," Lin Ziyan said calmly.
After browsing around, I found that several appliance brands in Guangzhou were more innovative than S Appliances.
If it weren't for S Appliances' reputation as a major manufacturer, it probably would have been squeezed out by several other brands in Guangzhou.
"I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out, but they really do look much better." The chubby girl nodded quickly.
She took notes as she looked around, while Lin Ziyan simply browsed.
The development of the electrical appliance industry over the past decade is etched in her mind; she had memorized information about all kinds of electrical appliances before.
Lin Ziyan used to think that her father was just making trouble for no reason and trying to test her memory.
Seeing these appliances now, she realized that her father's parenting style seemed to have formed a closed loop.
I finally understand what it means for education to have a lag effect.
Lin Ziyan walked around for a while and then parted ways with the chubby girl, returning to Hairun's exhibition hall.
"So, did it meet your expectations?" Sister Fang crossed her arms and slightly raised her chin.
The entire exhibition hall is semi-circular in shape, showcasing a complete range of electrical appliances without feeling too crowded. Compared to the layered displays of other exhibition halls, Hairun's exhibition hall is quite unique.
From the outside, Hairun's showroom looks very spacious, and each product on display looks like a work of art.
“Hmm, if I were to arrange the products, I would reduce them by another third.” Lin Ziyan raised an eyebrow, glanced around the exhibition hall, and twitched her lips.
Now she finally understood why Ren Donglai had added so many products; in comparison, the number of electrical appliances in Hairun's showroom was pitifully small.
Those who didn't know better might think Hairun was about to go bankrupt.
Sister Fang said, "Everyone knows that fewer items look better, but we also need sales volume when we come to exhibit."
"Didn't you see that blackboard over there? It records sales figures constantly and updates them daily. Hairun needs sales to support it so we don't become a laughing stock."
Lin Ziyan remained noncommittal; on the contrary, she didn't think so.
Big brands often display new or star products to drive sales of other products.
Sometimes giving customers too many choices can make them indecisive.
Selling out one item can still boost sales of other items.
"How about we have a competition?"
"How about we keep half of the showroom for the products you and President Ren set up, and let me set up the other half?" Lin Ziyan suggested.
Fang Jie's eyes flickered slightly. "Alright, there has to be a prize in the competition, right?"
"Whoever wins in sales volume gets a 3% cut of the profits?" Lin Ziyan looked at the showroom, her gaze distant.
"I'm in a group with Ayan!" The chubby girl suddenly appeared from behind.
Just a moment ago she thought the three-day exhibition would be unbearable and boring, but now she's secretly looking forward to it.
"Should we ask President Ren?" The chubby girl looked around but didn't see anyone.
“I agree,” Ren Donglai’s voice came from behind them.
Fang Jie's lips twitched slightly. "I have no objection."
…
On the other side, inside the S Appliances showroom.
Han Renji looked around the exhibition hall with a calm expression, and didn't think there was anything that needed to be improved.
He instructed his assistant to keep a close eye on what Hairun Electric Appliances was doing and to wait for their response.
"Mr. Han, Hairun has only displayed a few products, and I can't see any difference at the moment." The assistant hurried over.
Han Renji frowned slightly, recalling the previous display setup at Hairun Electrical Appliances City, and said calmly,
"I'll go take a look."
He had a feeling that Hairun would definitely have something new this time.
This exhibition was organized by S Electric Appliances. If the sales volume is lower than that of Hairun, he will have no way to explain it when he returns to China.
His position as sales director is currently not secure.
If he messes up this exhibition again, he will definitely be severely punished when he gets back.
S Group has now changed its management, and the new leader is looking to make an example of someone.
Han Renji arrived at the Hairun Electric Appliances showroom and only looked at it from a distance.
"It seems like there are fewer products in the showroom again..." the assistant muttered to himself.
Han Renji squinted and didn't continue walking forward.
Is this supposed to be a showroom? It has fewer products than any of S Appliances' branches.
"Are they crazy? Shouldn't they be displaying more products at a time like this?" The assistant shook his head in disapproval, thinking that Hairun Appliances was nothing special.
