After talking with his brother-in-law and Liang Cong, Feng Haidong then went with them to check on the shrimp pond.
With Liang Cong's technical guidance, Fang Jianxing's shrimp ponds were indeed managed very well.
The crayfish in the shrimp ponds are growing very well these days.
Furthermore, by separating the crayfish according to Liang Cong's method, the crayfish can be sold in batches, which almost guarantees that each batch of crayfish is of a similar size.
Feng Haidong was very satisfied with the growth of the crayfish in the shrimp pond.
"Great job, brother-in-law, you've raised these shrimp really well."
Fang Jianxing said, "It's all thanks to Xiao Liang's technical support. Xiao Liang truly deserves to be called an expert; he really understands the habits of crayfish."
Liang Cong laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, don't say that. I'm only good at theoretical knowledge. I should thank you for trusting me. Through your guidance, I've also discovered many problems, and I'm constantly optimizing and improving them."
Feng Haidong said, "Isn't this great? We can all benefit from it."
Liang Cong said, "Yes, I really have to thank you, Brother Haidong. Without you giving me this opportunity, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to experiment with these technologies."
Feng Haidong said, "Xiao Liang, go ahead and try it. As long as it helps us make money together, that's fine."
Liang Cong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Haidong, I will definitely help everyone raise the shrimp well."
Feng Haidong checked the time; it was almost noon. He said to his brother-in-law and Liang Cong, "Let's go to Mom and Dad's house for lunch. Haiwen will be back at noon too. Brother-in-law, you and Liang Cong can go and have a good chat with Haiwen so he can learn more about crayfish."
Fang Jianxing said, "Okay, let's go."
...
Feng Haiwen's sudden return to his parents' home surprised them.
The mother asked, "Haven, why did you suddenly come back?"
Feng Haiwen said, "Mom, my fourth brother told me to come back and discuss some things with him."
The father asked, "With your fourth brother? What did Haidong want you to come back for?"
Feng Haiwen hesitated for a moment, but still told her about what was going on at his factory.
“Mom and Dad, our factory is laying off workers. Although I wasn’t laid off this time, I guess I’ll be next. So I talked to my fourth brother to see if I could work at his shop.”
The mother was somewhat surprised: "Your factory is failing too? I didn't hear the eldest son mention it."
Feng Haiwen said, "My brother didn't tell you because he was afraid you would worry. Actually, our factory is facing quite a few problems, especially since there are too many people in the factory now, so we may have to reduce staff. My brother is in a technical position, so he will definitely not be laid off for the time being."
I work in the security department, and our department is indeed a bit overcrowded, so there's a possibility of staff reductions this time.
After hearing her youngest son's words, the mother's face immediately showed some worry.
Feng Haidong's parents were aware of the problems with his factory.
Although Feng Haidong has made a name for himself in business, his traditional mother still feels that doing business is not as good as having a stable job.
Now that her youngest son is facing the same problem, how can the mother not be worried?
My father, on the other hand, was more easygoing.
“It’s okay. Since the factory is going to downsize, you can come down and work on your own. You can work with your fourth brother. His business is doing quite well now. You can learn from him and maybe you can start your own business in the future.”
Feng Haiwen said, "Dad, Fourth Brother means that I should help promote crayfish."
The mother was a little puzzled: "Selling crayfish? Isn't your brother-in-law's crayfish in high demand? Why do you need to sell them?"
Feng Haiwen said, “I heard from my fourth brother on the phone that it seems my brother-in-law and Feng Village have started raising crayfish. Now that summer is approaching, the crayfish production is quite high, and his own store and the stores in the provincial capital that he had previously contacted cannot consume that many.”
The father then added, "I also heard about it from your brother-in-law."
Then, the father asked, "Did your fourth brother say what he plans to do?"
Just then, Feng Haidong, his brother-in-law, and Liang Cong walked in together.
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Dad, my idea is to have Haiwen promote it to some surrounding cities, and if possible, let Haiwen set up a transit station in the aquatic product markets of those cities, using the crayfish raised by my brother-in-law and the village."
From now on, the crayfish will be delivered from my home to his place first, and then he will ship them to other cities within the province.
The parents were quite surprised to see Feng Haidong and the others return.
The mother asked, "Haidong, you're back today?"
Feng Haidong replied, "Mom, I came back yesterday, but I stayed home with the kids all day yesterday."
The mother immediately said, "Why didn't you bring Xiaomengmeng back?"
Feng Haidong said, "Mom, Mengmeng is still too young. Besides, Wanling has to go to work and Fanfan has to go to school, so I came back alone. The main reason I came back this time is to discuss things with my brother-in-law and Haiwen."
The father said, "Alright, go and cook. The children came back this time to discuss business matters. Next weekend, Haidong and Wanling will bring Mengmeng and Fanfan back together."
The mother said, "Okay, okay, you two chat, I'll go cook."
At this moment, the eldest sister, Feng Yunhua, also came in and quickly followed her mother to the kitchen.
The father asked everyone to sit down in the courtyard of the house.
Feng Haidong sat down and looked at his younger brother, asking, "Haiwen, have you thought it through? Do you want to help your brother-in-law and his family promote crayfish? You might need to travel to quite a few places for a while at first."
Feng Haiwen nodded and said, "Brother, I've made up my mind. Anyway, I can't count on the factory, so I'll give it my all this time."
Fang Jianxing said, "Haiwen, that's right. Let me tell you, crayfish will definitely have a big market. Look at Haidong's store in the provincial capital, how good is the business? Once it becomes popular in the provincial capital, it will definitely become popular in other cities in the province soon. Now that we have seized the market, we will definitely not have to worry about selling in the future."
Feng Haiwen nodded: "Brother-in-law, I know. I will definitely conduct a thorough investigation of markets in various regions this time."
Feng Haidong then asked his father, "Dad, which young man in the village do you think is suitable to go with Haiwen? He can't be too rigid, but he also can't be too slick, and he has to be trustworthy."
Upon hearing this, the father thought for a moment and then asked, "Haidong, are you planning to find a few people from the village to help Haiwen?"
Feng Haidong nodded: "That's right, Dad. It's not easy for Haiwen to go to another place alone. It's more reassuring to have someone with him. Also, if we set up a transit station in another place later, we can't just rely on Haiwen to guard it there alone. We still need trustworthy people who can help Haiwen share the burden."
After thinking for a moment, the father said, "I think we can ask your Uncle Bao'an. He should know the villagers better than I do. We can also go back to the village and ask the village chief and the others."
Feng Haidong nodded: "Alright, after lunch, let's go back to the village together."
