Chapter 159
Wang Mengmei never expected that she just casually mentioned it to Yang Nan, but Yang Nan and Zhou Pei gave her a result that was five centimeters high.
"This, this, this..."
If she remembered correctly, she originally just wanted Yang Nan to help with some job-related violations, right?
So what is this now?
Yang Nan and Zhou Pei, one had happiness written all over his face, while the other could hardly hide his disappointment.
Yang Nan answered Wang Mengmei's question hesitantly: "This is the version reviewed by our teacher!"
Of course, the basics were all hers, and one quarter of Zhou Pei’s ideas were adopted!
Yang Nan explained the whole story to Wang Mengmei in high spirits. She and Zhou Pei each looked for external aid. It was originally just a little extra income for the two of them, but later it became a confrontation between 29 boys and 18 girls from the 199X business administration major class of the provincial university. Both sides even started to hang out in the library, and the enthusiasm for competition was stronger than usual in class.
Later, senior students from both teams began to appear... Both sides started looking for "plug-ins". Zhou Pei and Yang Nan's first version was ruthlessly eliminated. The result of brainstorming was that the things everyone came up with were so professional that they were scary.
Even the teacher who asked Yang Nan and Zhou Pei to give the lectures did not expect that his practical class would eventually achieve such unexpected results.
Even the dean of the School of Business and Management heard about it and asked him with a smile what day the class was scheduled. Since there was such a big fuss, why not he take a few class teachers to take a look.
As Yang Nan was talking, Wang Mengmei's reaction gradually changed: "Can it be like this?" - "Is it really like this?" - "Oh my God, what is going on?"
After hearing that Yang Nan had won, the teacher on site came on stage to give a summary and spent another day to make a major upgrade to Yang Nan's final version.
Originally, Wang Mengmei wanted to be assigned branch job responsibilities, but the final version included a "one-year plan", "three-year plan" and "five-year plan". On the last page, there were even a few "pre-IPO plans" that made Wang Mengmei dizzy!
Oh my god…
Wang Mengmei was speechless and listened numbly to how Yang Nan confidently expressed how excellent the one-year plan and the three-year plan were and how highly likely they were to be implemented. Their teacher even made several plans on how to leverage funds.
As for what Wang Mengmei wanted, job responsibilities including employee promotions were all reflected in the plan.
"Auntie, if you follow this plan, you and uncle will have assets of over 100 million in less than ten years!"
Wang Mengmei shivered and almost dropped the paper in her hand.
Yang Nan felt refreshed after he finished speaking. Although Zhou Pei was discouraged, he said in a defeated manner that Yang Nan was right.
"It contains not only the ideas of Yang Nan and I, but also the ideas of many of our seniors... But don't worry, Auntie, our teacher has told us that these are all business secrets and will not be spread out even if we know them."
It was only after doing some research that Zhou Nan realized that Wang Mengmei's business really had great potential.
In order to make a plan for Wang Mengmei, he checked a lot of relevant data. One of the data showed that although the overall economic environment in the past two years was affected by the closure of factories, the profits of the light-asset food category continued to rise.
The progress is faster in the south. In some places with more office workers, some people have already opened franchise stores for foods such as hot and sour noodles, spicy hot pot, and brine pot that are "easy to operate", "suitable for most people's tastes", and "can be selected by yourself".
Even... Zhou Pei saw in the newspaper that several small hotpot restaurants with one pot per person had opened in the capital.
Although Zhou Pei lost the competition, he felt that all the preparations for the lecture had opened a door for him...
Wang Mengmei saw the two students off in a daze. It wasn't that she forgot to remember to reward them, but she now felt that a reward of a few hundred or a few thousand yuan was not enough to afford them anyway!
She packed her things and without waiting even a moment, she got on her bike and went to look for Jian Feng.
Jian Feng was originally taking inventory at the warehouse when he suddenly saw his wife rushing over in a hurry. Thinking something had happened, he dropped everything and hurried over.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Mengmei took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to the store and talk."
Jian Feng was pushing the bicycle while Wang Mengmei followed beside him with her head down. Her mind was in a mess and she needed to sort out her thoughts.
When they got to the store, Wang Mengmei took out the huge pile of things and gave them to Jian Feng, then explained what had happened in a concise manner.
No matter how much Jian Feng knew, this incident far exceeded his expectations.
"This...was this corrected by a teacher from the provincial university?"
Jian Feng sat down in disbelief and began to look through it. Wang Mengmei also took a copy. Neither of them said a word, but just lowered their heads and read the contents silently.
By the time they finished watching, several hours had passed.
The sky outside was glowing with a rosy glow, and it was obviously evening.
Jian Feng let out a breath and closed the page.
"The five-year plan is still relatively far-reaching, the one-year plan is very practical, and the three-year plan can be used depending on the situation."
Wang Mengmei also nodded: "I think so too."
Because Yang Nan and Zhou Pei both knew her, they had obviously taken follow-up issues into consideration when making this plan, so the one-year plan only included the goal of opening five branches within a year.
Wang Mengmei's original idea was to open another branch, but her own plan was to open three.
The upgrade to five companies was a plan made by Zhou Pei and Yang Nan because they took into consideration that she would need some time to change her identity.
Jian Feng turned on the light: "So what do you think?"
Wang Mengmei's eyes were burning: "I...I want to give it a try."
Over the past five years, she has grown from a small stand selling pancakes to a small business owner with two stores.
It would be a lie to say that she is content now.
Just like the old farmer who only thought that the emperor used a golden hoe, she never thought that she would reach this point before, but now that she has come this far, she wants to look further forward.
She is only forty years old. Although she is not as energetic as she was in her youth, she refuses to admit that she is old.
Wang Mengmei put her hand on the plan: "I, I want to give it a try and see how far I can go."
These energetic students opened a door for her, allowing her to see the light of her previously obscure future.
Jian Feng was in a trance for a moment. Seeing Wang Mengmei like this, he suddenly remembered the time when they had just gotten married and before Jian Li came along.
"Then... let's do it."
Both of them have their own careers and can work together in the future.
Putting away these things, the evening breeze is just right. The autumn wind at this time is a little cool, and when it blows on the face, you can smell the cool scent.
Jian Feng suddenly didn't want to drive, so he got on his bicycle and slowly rode his wife home.
The two of them had endless things to talk about along the way.
Jian Feng: "Then how do you plan to thank Zhou Pei and Yang Nan?"
Zhou Pei and Yang Nan may not be aware of the value of this plan now, but Jian Feng and Wang Mengmei know it. If it weren't for this plan, they might have to struggle for a long time before they dared to take the next step.
"How about 10,000?"
Jian Feng calculated the store's revenue and felt that he could still take out 20,000 yuan.
Wang Mengmei put her arm around his waist: "Sure, but I have a better idea."
"What?"
Wang Mengmei: "You said, I will open a canteen window in the provincial big package store and open a branch store. This branch will charge half the price for the School of Business and Management. Is that okay?"
Jian Feng smiled: "It's really good."
If I just gave Yang Nan and Zhou Pei 10,000 yuan, then this favor would seem to have ended there.
But if she opened a store, Wang Mengmei would be connected with the provincial university. More importantly, as long as Wang Mengmei's branches survived, this good story would be passed down from one level to another, and these students would become loyal customers of Wang Mengmei's chain stores.
Jian Feng was not stingy with his own praise: "That's a great idea. How did you come up with that?"
Being praised by her husband, Wang Mengmei could no longer hide her smug expression: "I was thinking that we should actually give gifts to teachers, but I also felt that it would be too commercial if we gave gifts. Instead of that, why don't we give these children more benefits? It doesn't take much effort to open a window, and there is still some profit to be made at half price. This window can recruit students of their major to work part-time, which can also be regarded as a little subsidy for poor students."
Yang Nan had approached too many people this time, and even if Wang Mengmei wanted to thank them one by one, she didn't have the energy to do so.
It is better to have a long-term source. This window of the school should be treated as a long-term project. If it does not make money, we can subsidize it. If it does make money, the surplus money will be donated to the School of Business and Management as a subsidy for poor students after it is saved for one year.
Jian Feng looked at his wife with new eyes. It turned out that Wang Mengmei didn't seem to have decided to run a very big business, so many times, she still referred to his own opinions.
Now, perhaps because she has made up her mind to run the business well, Wang Mengmei has more independent thoughts.
Jian Feng kept praising her and even attributed Jian Li's intelligence to Wang Mengmei.
"Do you remember who we talked about before that Xiaoli got her smart brain from? I think it was you."
Whether it was taking samples to a symposium some time ago, or now suddenly wanting to book a window, Wang Mengmei's approach was always unexpected but very effective.
After riding for half an hour, they saw a stall selling halved pig's trotters in the distance.
Jian Feng stopped and pointed at the stall: "Look, you taught me how to run that stall."
Wang Mengmei was surprised and asked, "Is this true? Is it so fast?"
The booklet she distributed at the symposium was later printed by Director Qiu in hundreds and thousands of copies, which were distributed to the laid-off employees who had not been found. Wang Mengmei was also invited to teach several classes during this period.
Wang Mengmei has lived for decades, and this is her first time to be a "teacher". After the nervousness, she is filled with energy.
After class, those off-duty workers called her "teacher" one by one, which made Wang Mengmei so excited that she was happy for several days after returning home.
Now, her "students" have started?
Jian Feng said decisively: "It has definitely started. It's just that you haven't been paying close attention recently. In fact, there are many more stalls."
Although the urban management officers still block them, many people have discovered a pattern as they slowly set up their stalls. They know which areas have fewer urban management officers and which times they are not allowed to set up stalls. The space for night market stalls that Director Qiu had negotiated for will soon be approved.
Jian Feng: "There is a street just east of Huanghe Road that will be set aside for the night market. The stall fee will probably be a symbolic few dozen yuan."
The city has to consider the emotions of so many laid-off workers. I heard that there will be not only a night market for snacks, but also stalls selling socks and small toys, and several locations have been preliminarily planned.
Wang Mengmei sat back in the back seat contentedly: "That's great."
"Do you remember when I was pregnant with Jian Li?"
"How could I not remember? You just love to eat the halved pig's trotters from Lao Bai's restaurant. You always complain about the ones from the cafeteria because they have pig hair. So I go buy some as soon as I get off work."
"It was really strange at that time, why did you like to eat greasy food so much?"
"It's because you're hungry. Even if the food in the cafeteria is good, there are more vegetarian dishes than meat dishes. In winter, there are only cabbage, potatoes, and radishes... I suspect that Jian Li doesn't like radishes and cabbage now, but she got tired of them at that time. Hey, do you want to eat it now? If you eat it, let's go back and buy two more."
"You're crazy, I'm not eating! I want to lose weight."
"You are not as good as Xiaoli in this respect. Xiaoli knows that pig trotters can replenish collagen."
"Ha, you liked to eat scorpions when you were young, do you still eat them now?"
“…”
"Go home and eat some cabbage and tofu. If you keep eating like this, you might get gout."
…
The two figures formed a long trail on the road.
